Don't Remove a Shingle.

Under the stimulus and with the
protection of wise legislation in
Congress, inaugurated by the Re-
publican party, the country has
made great progress in material
ways in the past ten years. 1t has
required ten years to bring us to
our present condition of prosperity.
The voters must realize that a con-
siderable portion of that ten years.
work could be undone, practically,
in the few moments of time required
to cast a Democratic ballot for
Congressman and President, if it
should turn out that a majority of
the votes cast were Democratic.
Every one knows it is easier to
tear down than to build. 1t is so
in politics as well as in physics.
The voters who have built up the
Republican legislative structure
should be careful that they don t
remove so much as a shingle from
the roof, this fall. And thatadmo-
milton applies as well to the indie
pendent and the gold Democrat as
to the Republican, for it was
through their united efforts that a
Republican Congress has been
maintained in power long enough
to accomplish this work.
All of which means that the wis
est course is to elect Republican
House of Representatives this fall.

abroad. The past is nothing says the
cynic; it is gone, and it will not re-
turn. But when it comes to that, the
future is nothing also, and the present

eternities. The past may be nothing,

But Christmas is good for the world
because it brings anew to all the ma
tons of the earth the glad tidings first
announced over 1900 years ago. 1t is
we'll enough to keep up the legends,
the traditions and the ghostly customs
that have clustered about the day, but
1t is essentially the spiritual signifi-
canoe that should make the strongest
appeal to intelligent men and women.
above all things, Christmas stands for
altruism, and somehow it sets the
chords of generosity to vibrating in the
hardest hearts. At Christmas time all
of us are thinking how we can contrib
ute something to hehappiness or COM
fort of others. Old Scrooge had per-
suaded himself that Christmas was all
humbug and the Christmas spirit gam
mon. He had frozen his heart into an
iceberg of selfishness. He was q miser
and cynic, and so on Christmas Eve
he huddled up before his teacupful Of
Goals in his dreary apartment, and he
dreamed a dream. And it was the
dream that woke up Old Scrooge.
There was good in tie old miser, or he
could never have had such vision.
He had thought all his life about him
self and his business, and so absorbed
had he become in making money that
he treated himself in the end as badly
as he had treated his fellowmen. He
provided himself with a dingy office.
He took himself to q cheap restaurant
and treated himself to unwholesome
food. He would not allow himself 9
comfortable fire. He denied himself
all pleasures, recreationG and amuse
ments. He would not allow himself tC
celebrate Christmas, and he rallied a.
others who permitted themselves thil
pleasure. Thus it will be seen that ht
treated himself like a dog. But OF
Christmas Eve something happened Il
Old Scrooge. He received an informa
visit from the ghost of Marley, his part
ner, who had been as great skinfin
as he was. Old Scrooge discovered
that he had a heart, and that it hat
thrills of generosity in it. The Christ
! mas spirit had gotten into his bones
and for the first time in his life he en-
joyed the Christmas holiday.

Christmas is condensation of the
life and lesson of Jesus Christ. Once
year it tells everybody in Christian
lands to do something for somebody
else. That may almost be said to be
the sum total of Christianity. Every
man, of course, owes himself certain
amount of consideration. He must
develop his own talents and perform
the tasks that fall to him. 1t is his
duty, of course, to succeed, if he can,
in his own business or his profession,
in order that he may be independent in
his old age, and that he may support
those dependent upon him. Looking
out for Number One is not unnatural
or reprehensible; but it is not neces-
sary to tell mankind that. Religion
came to tell man that he must think of
others as we'll as himself. 1t is more
blessed to give than to receive. He
that loses his life shall find it. This IS
The Christian philosophy, and look at
1t from any point Of view we find that
it spells self-saerifice. Norman is COM
plete who thinks only of himself. No
man can be saved spiritually who does
not give from his own hord to others.
1t is only by making others happy that
one can DO happy himself. This is
easily susceptible of proof. Let us say
that you have spent twenty-five dollars
on Christmas gifts. You have remem-
bered all the members of your family,
and you may have done something for
the poor in q modest way. You know
that you have contributed something
to the happiness Of everyone whom
you remembered. This thought doubt.
less sends glow to your heart. Now
just suppose for a moment that you
had spent that entire twenty Ave dol.
lars on yourself, and had given nothing
Mt all to anybody else. You might have
, several handsome things to show fol
your selfishness. Materially you would
J be better off But don't you know tina
, in your heart you would despise your
self? Spiritually you would be pau
per, and you would likewise be mos

ly anent the commercialization of the
sacred holiday, but the objection is
not altogether we'll taken. Doubtless
there are some people whose generosi-
ty is not wisely bridled, and there are
others who spend their money on alb
surd and useless things, In the minds
of many, the Christmas spirit becomes
a fever, and when the day is over they
are fit for the hospital. Nearly all of
us go to strenuously about the cele-
bration Of the day. But when all is
said that can be said by the cynic and
the pessimist, the fact remains that
Christmas has a tonic effect on the
spirit of the wide, wide world. The
toys and trinkets given the little folks
do not make much Of a drain upon the
pocketbook. Certainly the books and
pictures presented to the lads and las.
sizes are not loves labor lost. In many

gifts would BIO made if there were NO
such holiday as Christmas, If the rich
choose to be extravaganza in remember
ing their friends, why no harm is done.
On the contrary they have put their
money in the bridesmaids purse, and
they have thus helped an honest man
in his business, The inviting stores,
decorated with holly and mistletoe,
and resplendent with their beautiful
wares, the merry throng of people upon
the streets, winding in and out Of the
shops, the brilliantly illuminated show
windows at night aud the cheerful
Christmas shopping are all part of the
holiday time, and We would not have it
otherwise. There are countless beauti-
ful things to be seen in the shops, and
it costs nothing to look Mt them. They
minister to the sense of beauty and
have their influence upon the popular
taste; and il one is endowed with Mr..
titbottom's imagination, he can easily
convince himself that they all belong
to. him. Indeed, the man who can
look upon picture may get just as
much enjoyment out Of it as the man
who owns it. All that the latter can
do with it is to look at it, Christmas
brings to a city like Memphis beautiful
things from all over the world, and
makes it a sort of Worlds Fair. Japan,
China, France, Italy, Germany, Hol.
land and Great Britain have all made Q
show, as it were, for the people Of
Memphis. These, it is true, are ma
terial things, but we would not striI
Christmas of the lights, the music ant
the colors any more than we would
smother the old legends that have com,
down to us from the time when th,
world was young.

The matter of feed is Of

The up-to-date farmerknows
what to feed his COWS to get

But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in L
