But In every other realm he just fell short of being imbecile from the view point of the college boy. There are ma terialists who have given seventy years to studying clods and worms and seeds. And some of these chemists will come out of the laboratory saying that all though they have experimented with a blow pipe and the Roentgen ray for years they find no argument for God. When a farmer raises corn, he measures 1t in . bushal basket. Can you measure corn with the ear? Was not the ear made for hearing?

You cannot transfer one faculty and make 1t do the work of another faculty. Helen Kellar's taste is related to the orange.

 Helen Kellar bows them all out of court. God Is spirit. God is love.

 tai Strain. Dr. Miles Nervine Gave Back My Health.

It IS not always severe manual labor that breaks down the health. Mental strain, worry, anxiety, the cares of business or the home, have an equally strong tendency towards, undermining the nervous system, upon whose vitality the health of the body depends. When you find yourself unduly frettul, anxious, easily excitable; when your sleep is troubled and you can get no rest; if you have frequent headache, are losing your appetite and are getting thin. you should be- gin at once thorough course of treatment with DT. Miles Nervine. There is no nerve tonic 50 good, so sure, so safe. It speedily restores the weakened nerves to healthy action. and builds strength and tissue.

of Susanna Wesley resulted in the found- ing of the Methodist Church. The Bible talks of Mrs. Bottome resulted in the founding of the Order of the King Daughters .and Sons.
 Sunmerfng at Tarrytown, N. Y., few years ago. Mrs. Bottome held at her home series of informal religious meetings for all women who cared to at tend Like Anne Hutchinson in the days of the Puritans, she called her own sex together and sought to kindle in them the fire of spirituality that glowed m
 her own soul. Her leading characteristics are these: First. deeply religious na- ture; next, a love for women. She is a leader of women. Some fashionable so- ciety women summered also at Tarry- town that year. They were drawn to Mrs. Bottome's meetings in common with the plain domestic woman and the work ing girl. The same soul needs are in us all The fashionable ladies became interested in the Bible talks. When they returned to the city in the winter, the most splendid homes were opened to Mrs. Bottome. and she was invited to come to continue the story. Thus the unordained woman evangelist entered the homes of the rich and preached her gospel of faith and love, absolute good will to all, abso-
 lute trust that if we do the best we know how to with the means at hand We shall be taken care of. It Is a doctrine as old as religion itself. yet it cannot be preach ed too often to an unbeieving world. The silver cross with the purple rib-

airls Without sentiment.

Don't let any girl imagine that she can ever have personal charm if she lack sentiment or feeling. Without sentiment there Is a fatal vein of the prosaic, the commonplace, which will keep her for ever, no matter what her other gifts, from possessing or yielding the widest influence her sex can claim.
 It is surprising the amount of good feeling toward any one a kind word here and there may produce Even though a girl is rather unpopular. If she shows the right feeling and forethought toward her friends she will soon be found in the foremost ranks of the popular.
 There are women who never have a love deeper than the love for their pet poodle. who never know an enthusiasm more ardent than that inspired by a new bonnet, whose deepest emotions are caused by the misdemeanors of the cook. But if these are scarcely the noblest of their sex neither can they be called the most rich in charm.

silver cross with the initials l. H. N.- In His Name-engraved thereon. This was fastened by a ribbon of purple, the royal color, befitting the daughter of a king. The object of the order was. through good deeds and prayer and pa- tieace, the development of a truly re- hgious character without regard to creed woman O. no theological creed at all could enter into the spirit of the Kings Daughters and with them work for the development of pure, sweet, strong character within herself and tho outflow of this character in deeds of helpfulness towards others. That is tho keynote of the song of the Kings Daughters.
 Circles were organized here and there in various places as women and girls heard of the new society formed by the white haired woman and her aids in New York. The noble zeal for lending a hand kindled so widely and rapidly that soon men, too. wished to join the order Accordingly an organization of Kings Sons was formed, with the same badge and pledge. Then the fire spread to other lands, far and near, to every country of Europe, to South America, to Asia. A consignment of the purple ribboned silver crosses went by and by to Korea. An International organizat ton was formed, and Mrs. Margaret Bottome. the eloquent woman. was made president of that, too. Its name is the International Order of the Kings Daughters and Sons.
 What is their special work7 Begin- ming with inhnitesimal things in ones own family. it extends to educating q young woman for a medical missionary to foreign lands. The Kings Daughters and Sons lend a friend s. pay a church debt or take care of motherless ch1l- dren as occasion demands Whatever may be done in the name of human brotherhood, that they are there to do. The society Is warming and melting to the heart !n this hard, metallic age.
 The International Order of the Kings Daughters and Sons numbers nearly or quite half a million members. Its foun- der. Mrs. Bottome, is 75 years old now. but no frailties of age or weakness have touched her She is tall. queenly and magnetic as ever. Her voice Is still strong as when. thirty years ago, she, like Susanna Wesley. gathered the women of her acquaintance together for prayer meetings and Bible talks. The meetings

 That reminds me of a story. Years ago a young man owned the only wood yard in a prairie town out West. He had a goodly store on hand when heavy snows came and blocked the roads. For weeks no wood could be hauled to the town, yet the young man went on seli- ing at his regular price of $2.75 cord. A friend said to him that he could get s5 as easily, because the people must have wood. The young man said that he knew it, but that he was making fair living profit. So he continued to sell his wood at the same old price. Everybody predicted that he would always be poor. and he is, God belss him Never mind his name: you wouldn't know it if you heard 1t; but 1t Is a synonym of human love and tender sympathy throughout all that prairie country.

THE RES ABOUT FOOD.

| Also a Few Facts on tho Same Sub-
 ject.
 We hear much nowadays about health foods and hygenic living, about vegeta- rianism and many other fads along the same line.
 Restaurants may be found in the larger cities where no meat, pastry or coffee is served and the food crank is in his glory. and arguments and theories galore ad- vanced to prove that meat was never inc tended for human stomachs. and almost make us believe that our sturdy ances- tors who lived four score years in robust health on roast beef. pork and mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health.
 Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was extended to any kind from bacon to acOrns. A healthy appetite and common sense are excellent guides to follow in matters of diet. and a mixed diet of grains, fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best. As compared with grains and vegetables. meat furnishes the most nutriment i'm a h.rhly concentrated form and is digesteR and is assimilated more quickly than vegetables and grains.
 pr. Julius Remmson on this subject says: Nervous persons. people run down in health and of low vitality should eat meat and plenty of it. If the digestion is too feeble at first 1t may be easily coz rected by the regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal Two of these excellent tablets taken after din- ner will digest several thousand grains of meat eggs and other animal food in three hours, and no matter how weak the stomach may be, no trouble will be ex- perienced if a regular practice Is made of using stparts Dyspepsia Tablets because they supply the pepsin and diastase nec- essary to perfect digestion, and every form of indigestion will be overcome by their use.
 That large class of people who come under the head of nervous dyspeptics should eat plenty of meat and insure Its proper digestion by the daily use of a safe harmless digestive medicine like stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, composed of inc natural digestive principles. pepsln. diastase. fruit acids and salts, which ac. tpaIlv perform the work of digestion. CSheao cathaftic medicines fnasoueradfnR under the name of dyspepsia cures are useless for indigestion as they have abso. utely no effect upon the actual diges. ton of food.
 Dyspepsia in all its many forms Is sirn- plv a failure of the stomach to digest food and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia is to make daily use at meal time of a preparation like stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. which is endorsed by the medical profession and known to contain active digestive princi- ples. wed-fri-sun.

One Of the noteworthy features of ouy time Is the power and influence of whit haired women. This is the era of white haired women. In fashionable society, in industrial, educational and ltersry life, more than all, perhaps, in religious work, from her of the silvered locks xa- diates magnetic halo that draws and holds those who come within 1t. This is especially true if with the whitened hair go a young, enthusiastic heart and an agreeable face.
 The month of January each year recalls to al least half a million persons the work of one of these white haired womeaasr off the noble sort. This Jahuary seventeen years ago nine ladies sat in the pArlor' of house in New York city and formally organized a society for helpful work among the human family. male and fe- male, white, black brown, yellow and red. For years the white haired lady at whose house the meeting was held had been trying to interest her own sex in the humane work that professed religious people owe to the world. She herself had wrought with voice. brain and hand Now she went personally among the needy and the wretched and carried them aid or consolation. Now she wrote elo- Quently of the duty mankind forgets in
 
 looking around every day and seeing if there is not some help in some shape or form that each can give to another. Now she assembled in her own home or met in others homes women to whom she preached moving lay sermons on the same lofty theme.
 The story of her work spread among the philanthropic and those who felt that each member of the human family should be the little brother of all the world. Edward Everett Hale was familiar with the labors of her who was hostess at the womens meeting that day, white haired. handsome Mrs. Margaret Bottome, and he said to her:
 'I am surprised that you do not form ' sisterhood."
 At the meeting of the nine ladies at Mrs. Bottomes that January day the sisterhood was formed. They called 1t, after some deliberation. the Order of the Kings Daughters, because the Kings Daughter Is all glorious within" The following motto was borrowed from that
