CREATED voR YOU.


believe that the Word was created ia

oh. baby with brown eyes and baby with
blue,
Oh, baby with gray eyes and baby will
1t was made and whirled out ON eternity'i
track
TO just make playground all colors and
AL sapphire, and lumber, and green, and
hold
That we who are old are permitted tY stay
TO help you, and guard you. and watch
DER your play.
: For we who nre old yesterday were as you;
We were babies with black eyes, and gray
eyes. and blue:
We romped In the meadows. and laughed
In the sun,
And at night, tired out with our frolic and
fun,
We crept to our mother so loving and SWEEP
And she In one hand held our two tiny feet,
And one arm held around US. and taught
us to pray.
Ah, yes, we were babies like you yesterday!
And our papa stood by us as yours stands
by you,
And he stopped, just like this, for sweet
kiss OF two;
And his look as he held out his arms wide
apart
His look-why, twas just like the throb In
our heart
when we stand by your mother and watch
while you pray.
All, babes, we were babies like you yester-
day!
And the Lord lets US stay here. and play
here with you.
Because when you're weary we know what
to do. |

Japanese Bullets.

A Russian army surgeon reports
that the japanese modern bullets cas-
fly pass through the interoostal inter
stlces and by reason Of their great
speed will penetrate bone and make
q canal corresponding to their small
caliber without destroying the bone.
They make holes in the skin OF about
the diameter Of a pea. The wounds
seldom suppurate, and, as a rule, the
only thing necessary is maintenance Of
cleanliness in the wound and antisep-
tic bandaging.-N. Y. Post.

BY-o-Lo.

Baby, wonder-eyed and wee.
Icing on your mothers knee
As the evening shadows fall,
As the homing- brides call,
Listning to your mother Groom,
That old. world-old, by-lo tune,
In the years TO come they'll seem
Like the mem'ry Of dream;
Mother singing "by-lo-by,"
And your father standing nigh,
And the easement opened wide
To the sky where high doth ride
The pale moon that yestere'en
You did cry to hold between
Your wee hands. Dear. you'll recall
As a dream the night and all.
You'll recall, dear, how you lay
In her arms at close of day,
And the rocking to and fro,
And the tuneful by-o-lo,
Just as who look on you,
Just as who hear you COO,
Do remember how ! laid
In my mothers arms. and prayed
At her knee when night came down
Over hill and mead and town..
How my father tall and strong
Held ne; how heard the song,
That same song-now you're asleep.
God in Heaven, watch and keep
This our baby-to and fro
In the land Of By-o-lo.

SHOULD FOOD BE sALTED?
According to French Scientists There
Is No Necessity for the
Condiment.

This 10 no new question, but appar
emily 1t is not settled yet, says the Revue
Scientifque. In an exhaustive discus.
sion Of II, M. Rene Laufer concludes thai
while salt Is absolutely necessary Ia
the animal organism, enough of 1t fol
our needs is contained naturally in oul
ordinary articles of food, so that the
addition Of 1t as condiment is SUPER
fiuous. Tales Of disease caused by lack
OF salt he dismisses as untrustworthy.
Says M. Laufer:
THE desire for salt is certainly uni
versal. 1t seems to have been used
everywhere at all times and in all civil
izations. The same salt seasons to-day
the miserable portion of the Soudanese
negro and the choice dishes of Euro
pean tables. The need of salt
is not limited to man; many animals
seek 1t with avidity. So gen.
eral apredelection, SO imperlous a desire
should not be regarded as simple in
cident, that is certain; but do they cor
respond to an unavoidable necessity?
"Is 1t not curious that the chloride of
sodium should be the only salt that we
take from nature to add to those con-
tanned in our food itself? Other min
eral substances play much more i'm
portant part in the constitution of the
tissues, the salts Of lime and the phos-
phate Of soda, for instance.
When we use these by themselves 1t is
as medicine.
1.-THE taste for salt is not innate or
Instructive; 1t Is acquired. The moth
ers milk contains very little salt. Cows
milk has at least four times as much,
but even in this amount the adult who
should live on milk alone-say, three
quarts a day-would take more chloride
than he needs.
Man In a state Of nature does not
salt his food. Primitive peoples who
lead pastoral and nomadic life do not
add salt to what they eat =" The
same is true Of animals. Dogs and cats
do not like salt. Even the domestic
herbivores get along very well II salt
is not added to their food"
M. Laufer discredits all tales of illness
from the discontinuance of salt. The
French soldiers who were said to have
suffered from lack of salt in the siege |
of Metz did so, he says, simply because |
they required 1t to hide the taste of the
spoiled meat that they were forced to
eat. The story Of the Russian serfs
who are reported to have fallen Ill when
deprived Of salt by their lords bears on
its face, M. Laufer thinks, marks of ito
falsity.
Among the chief morbid symptoms
said to follow the lack of salt Is edema,
Or swelling, but the writer shows that
nowadays a diet without salt is pre-
scribed for this trouble and has been
affective in curing 1t. In the same way
ne disposes to his satisfaction of all
he different Ills said to arise when one
s deprived of salt.
Finally, he calculates the amount of
Ialt necessary to carry on the processes
If organic animal life and the amount
ost by excretion and comes to the fol-
owing conclusion:
Our food, provided 1t constitutes a
roper regimen in the physiologic sense
I the word, contains in itself and with
10 necessity Of adding to it from out
lde, sufficient salt for our needs.

Children'S Opera.

The children's opera given last
Friday and Saturday evenings un.
d err the direction of Mrs. Sadie Nc
Mahan Okey for the benefit of the
public schools, was an artistic
and financia lsuccess.
The fact that 80 children were
trained in less than three weeks to
give so difficult a production
SO faultless, is evidence OF Mrs.
Okey's unusual ability in this line
of work. Her beautiful voice was.
heard to advantage in several solos
and her audience showed its ap.
l~preciation Of this, and her graceful
acting by frequent encores. The
Lesson of the Fan" was given in
particularly bewitching manner
The octette of young ladies in
song and dance was one Of the en-
joyable features of the evening, and
the butterfly dance given by tiny
girls was enthusiastically received
The garden wall scene was a
realistic picture OF happy child
hood and the virgins in white did
some posing that would have been
a credit to professionals.
The sunflowers were warmly ap-
plauded and the fairies, both good
and evil, in pretty costume were a
conspicuous feature of the evening
Misses Villa Wilkinson and
Ruby Bertsch were very clever as
the orphans, and the dance of the
Moon and Evening Star by Misses
Dorthea Wagner and Clara Hol-
ton was encored both evenings.
Those outside the school who
assisted were Miss Tempieton, Mr..
Monte Wax and Miss Mona Nickel.
The work of Miss Nickel as the
witch deserves special mention
Although pantomime, her concep-
ton Of the part and hideous make
up produced decided uncanny
effect upon the audience.
The opera, upon the whole, il
quite generally conceded to be the
best of its kind ever put on il
Grangeville.
The net proceeds Of the opera
We're Sl54, of which the school re
ceived SIT. This money will be
placed in the library and picture
fund.
The firemen are now negotiating
with Madam Okey to put on {
play for their benefit which will
probably be in the minstral anC
judging from this lady's work il
training, somthing rich may be
looked for.
