President Eliot of Harvard brings
this serious charge: THE highly edu-
Gated part of the American people does
not increase the population at all, but,
on the contrary, fails to reproduce it
sell. " Looking for a reason for this
regrettable condition of affairs, he
says: 'It is probable that the result
as due in part to the late postponement
of marriage on the part of educated
young men-a postponement which the
protracted education now prescribed
for men who enter the learned and
scientific professions makes almost un-
ayoidable."

ST. VALENTINE.

Hail to thy returning festival, old
Bishop Valentine. Great is thy name
in the rubric.
Like unto thee, assuredly there is no
other mitred father in the calender.
Wonderful indeed are the changes
wrought by time. Under Claudius II
poor priest of Rome by name, Yalen-
tine was dubbed and cast into prison
for defending some Christian martyrs.
On the 14th of February, 27O he was
beheaded that his head might adoln
one of the Pagan festivities to be held
in honor of Juno, upon the following
day.
Later a church was built in his honor
near Ponte Mole, which gave its name
to the gate Porta St Valentino.
Maidens of the 3rd century did not
speak of lovers as sweethearts but ga
lantins.
As time passed the world galentin
lover was changed to Valentine, and
ST. Valentine became the patron saint
of lovers.
And right royalty has he reigned
over his kingdom Of youth and beauty.
How many sad tales could he tell?
How many broken VOWS has he recor-
ded? But no with unrequited love he
has nothing to do. His motto is "Of
with the old love on with the new"
As all the world loves a lover, so all
the world loves st. Valentine.
"AIolo has peeTed through the shu.t.r.

The boa ding sch 0 b lies in fl liter

composer of a song called " IT'S sweet

Letters from
Women

Cured by the use Of Kodol are received daily.
Their troubles nearly all begin with indiges-
ton or other stomach disorder.
If the food you eat fails to give strength
TO your body, it is because the juices Sc
GREETED by the stomach and digestive organs
are inadequate to transform the nutrient prop
critics of the food into blood. That is
Indigestion. The system is deprived of the
amount Of nourishment required to keep up
the strength, and the result is that one or
more Of the delicate organs gradually grows
weak, and then weaker, until finally it is
diseased. Here a great mistake is made.
That of treating the diseased organ. The
best doctors in the land make this very
mistake. Why should they? It is so easy
TO see that the trouble is not there.
