 Notwithstanding a great militar. war that is going on, the spirit of peace
 is abroad in the land and the world, |
 because men understand more fully l
 than ever before the doctrine of the Christ life. Industrial war is raging | as never before, but God lives in the
 hearts of men through the doctrine of
 the Christ life, and the better tenden- | cies and forces of Nation life are dt- | rscted towards the final settlement of |
 all social questions, by means that are in harmony with the Christ spirit and | teachings. A broader spirit in the in- tercourse of nations, is noticeable from generation to generation and almost from year to year. Christ came to harmonize the contending elements of
 the world and bring about final peace. God did not send his only beg0tten son into the world to live, suffer and die,
 to establish losing cause upon earth. Accept my most hearty wishes for the
 success of the old home meetings

Miss Agnes Miller, of Chicago, speaks to young women about dangers of the Menstrual Period.


 "To YouNe WOMEN :-I suffered for six years with dysnenorrhea (painfu! periods), so much so that I dreaded every month, as knew it meant three or four days of intense pain. Tho doctor said this was due to an infiamed condition of the uterine appendages caused by repeated and neglected colds.
 "If young girls only realized how dangerous it is to take cold at this critical time, much suffering would be spared them. Thank God for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable COm- pound, that was the only medicine which helped me any. Within three weeks after I started to take it, l noticed 6 marked improvement in my general health, and at the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished considerably. kept up the treatment, and was cured a month later. I am like another person since. I am in perfect health, my eyes are brighter, 1 have added 12 pounds to my weight, my color is good, and feel light and happy."-MIss AGNES MILLER, 25 Potomac Ave, Chicago, Ill., s6ooo fotsft f original of abovs letter proung genuine ness cannot bs produced.

of a rich gentleman, who is to pay me
very literally for becoming his sub

Il asked what possible inducement
there could be to forfeit his life for any
amount Of money. He replied: 4 have

CUMULATIVE VALUE OF ADVERTISING.
Interesting Suggestions From n Promi
nent Advertising Manager,

Interesting Suggestions From n Promi-
nent Advertising Manager.
Some advertisers overlook the cumu.
lative value Of advertising. By cumu-
lative 1 mean that power and value in
advertising that gains in force as the
advertising proceeds.
Advertising is augmented and given
force by successive insertions. Bacon
wrote: "As for knowledge which man
receiveth by teaching 1t is cumulative,
not original"
A single large advertisement may
not amount to much in results. 1t may
not do the business. The article adj
vertised is soon forgotten and its effect
quickly lost among the hundreds of
other advertisements published daily
by the average newspaper. Bat follow
one advertisement with another; keep
hammering; let one blow follow an
other In rapid succession and results
win come. '.V., IA
When least expected the policy OF
persistent advertising will be produc'
tive Of results that can neither be de-
stroyed nor forgotten.
Don't try the costly experiment OF
putting all your money into one big
advertisement and then quitting be-
cause of disappointing results. Divide
your energy and your money. Follow
line of systematic work. Be patient,
but be tenacious. Success may come
slowly, but IL the proposition adver-
tised possesses merit it will be sure

Mr. winklehorst gazed at her with a
gladness in his heart that be had never
experienced before. us'
She leaned upon his desk with her
soft chin resting in the palm Of one
OF her little hands and looked into his
eyes with a wistrulness that he could
not mistake. Still, he was a proud
man and anxious to have the good
opinion of other people. He wondered
what his friends would say IL 1t should
become known that he had fallen In
love with picture OH soap calendar
The thought troubled him, and the
beautiful maiden, seeing the cloud up
on his face, asked:
"What has happened to make you

you do love me. If you didn't the spell

Naw York Times Saturday Review of Books. '-.
 The query in The Review of last Sat" lrday anent the Henry B. Hirst whom Poe criticised so severely and your re. niv thereto, served to recall to my mind sone facts concerning Hirst which l discovered and verified while searching Tn phuadeiphia for material for the Foe cbapter of the book, Literary HauntS and Homes" Of these facts brief mem tion of one or two is hcre pertinent.
 Poe and Hirst were intimate friends and conpnanfons during the greater part oT the neriod of the residence of the forrner in the Quaker City, and were closely associated not only in the folneS and disstpations to which both were more or less addicted, but also in their nter- arv work. Unto his dying day Hirst SOL cmnlv affirmed that he and not Foe was the writer of "The Raven," and that at most Poe had written but one stanza and mart of another of the poem, the remainder of the stanZa having been pla- pia rized by Poe from poem well known to students of poetry. l saw in the hords of pr. Matthew Woods of Phfl- adelphia the materials for an as yet nn- n,h,ished biography of Hirst. in which the Doctor expects to supstantlate alEs' is cIatrn to the authorship of The Raven.
 Sa,,arsI of the poems which were pub" I,sbed fin Hirst's first volume had pre- vIously appeared in periodicals Of which poe was editor, and Poe's harsh crtti- c,sms of Hirst were subsequent to quarrel with him and rupture Of the boon relationship which had existed 0e- tween the two.

Some personal "reminiscences or tne Irish poet, w B. Yeats, who is now In America giving a course of lectures on the Celtic revival, are contributed to the current Harper's Weekly by Charles Johnston. Mr. Johnston and Yeats were boys together; the future mystic, 1t seems, was "a rabid Darwinian," and "spent the hours that should have gone to Homer and Horace in pursuit of test cases and missing links" in an endeavor to convert his school chum to the doc- Urine of evolution. Yeats first printed poem appeared in the ill-starred Dublin University Review; among his early works MT.
