TIE Closing Year

Flash'd in the light Of midday-and tho strength
OF senied hosts is shiver'd. and the grass.
Green from the soil of carnage, waves above
And faded like a wreath of mist at eve;
Yet. ere, it melted in the viewless air,
1t heralded its millions to their home
In the dim land of dreams. Remorseless limo
Fierce spirit of the glass and scythe-what powe.
Can stay him in his silent course, or melt
His iron heart to pity? On. still on
lie presses. and forever. The proud bird.
The condor of the Andes, that can soar
Through heavens unfathomable depths, or brave
The fury of the northern hurricane,
And battle his plumaxe in the thunder's home.
Furls his broad wings at nightfall, and sinks down
To rest upon the mountain rag-Bu Time
Know. not the weight of sleep or wearine,s,
And nights deep darkness has no chain to bind
His rushing pinion. Revolutions sweep
Der earth, like troubled visions Der the breast
OF dreaming sorrow; cities rise and sink
Like bubbles on the water; fiery isles
Spring. blazing. from the ocean. and 60 back
To their mysterious caverns; mountains rear
To heaven their bald and blackened cliff, and bow
Their tall heads to the plain; new empire, rise
Gathering the strength of hoary centuries
And rush down like the Alpine avalanche,
Startling the nations; and the very stars,
Yon bright and burning blazonry of God,
Glitter awhile in their eternal depths.
And. like the Pleindes, loveliest of their train.
Shoot from their glorious spheres, and pass away
To darkle in the trackless void-yet Time
Time. the tomb builder. holds his fierce career
Dark. stern, all pitiless. and pauses not
Amid the mighty wreck. that strew his path,
To sit and muse, like other conquerors.
Upon the fearful ruin he has wrought!

BREAKERS AHEAD!
Some Coffee Users Hit The Rocks
Hard,


| Hard.
| The experience of a hard working
minister illustrates the grave dangers
into which coffee drinking leads the
unconscious victim.
| Deranged nerves. c1ogged liver and
disturbed heart action, are rarely at
tributed by the sufferers to the right
cause, and the aid of powerful and
dangerous drugs is sought to give the
relief. Opium, in its various forms, is
| the commonly used sedative, and with
the result, too frequently, that as the
use Of coffee is continued, the ailment
grows worse, and larger and larger
doses of the drug are demanded.
! Then comes a day when the victim
realizes with horror that he has be-
come the slave of terrible habit, the
most difficult habit to overcome to
medical practice. Thousands go to
their graves every year because of
drug addicttons, and the proportion of
| those who recover is very small in
| deed, for to break the chain that binds
the sufferer a strength Of will power
| is required of which the drug has al
ready robbed him.
| Very few, perhaps, ever deliberately
make choice of indulgence in hypnotic
drugs. In the majority of cases the
use is begun merely as a temporary
expedent, and with no thought Of it's
continuance; but with each dose the
power to resist the appetite it creates
grows less And those who do not I'M
derstand the dangers of coffee indul-
gence are, easily of that very ignor-
ance, the more easily led to the very
verge of moral as we'll as physical
shipwreck
The clergyman referred to says that
he had been coffee drinker for 20
years, and that as time Went ON he be
came semi invalid. "It made me SO
nervous and dull and stupid that L Of
ten resorted to hypnotic drugs to in
duce or to enable me to make the nee
essary preparations for the pulpit"
A clergyman is expected to preach
good sermons, and when he finds his
intellectual faculties have grown so
sluggish that he cannot properly pre-
pare himself, it may be readily seen
that the temptation to use slim
ulating drug to overcome this inertia
and quicken his powers might prove
fairly irresistible.
The time came to him when he re-
allied his dangerous condition. 1t
must be serious for a religious teach
er to drift into such a state; he states
that about that time he went through
the Postum factories at Battle Greek
and saw how Postum Coffee is made
and when he went home he determined
to make struggle for freedom. He
found it easy to rid himself of the
coffee habit at once for the Postum
gave him the hot delicious beverage
he wanted for breakfast and no drug,
but rather the strong rebuilding food
elements. Thereupon his Natural sleep
returned, the pains in head disappear
ed and the old lethargy left and he
says the growth in his "vigor and
strength has been most remarkable
A true and happy return to natural
conditions and perfect health It's
worth while. Name given by Postum

The gay, jlngly, rollicking English
farcical comedy with music, "The Girl
From Kay's," which will be presented
at the Odeon Friday evening, is said to
appeal to all Of ones faculties. To
those with sense of humor, there is
delight in the bright lines. If they
have a love of music, the tunefulness
of the songs will greatly please them
This comedy has the distinction, so it
is stated of being on new and original
lines. This was especially emphasized
by the dramatic critics In Chicago,
most successful engagement, continu-
ing for period of two months. While
it is English in location, 1t has about

American or Yankee view point.

Square theater last season, and its

gagement in New York City at the fam
GUS Madison Square theater. It's plot
and characters concern and wildly re-
fleet the society life Of the metropolis
at the present. time, and the social up

sensational news stories. The acting
