WHY CAL-CURA?
A Word Coming into Everyday Use All
Over the Land.

Over the Land.
Why should an article in popular demand
be called Cal-cura, when the word is so hard
toremember? This question is often asked.
Reflect moment. Calculi is the medical
word to designate stones in the kidneys and
bladder, calcui being the Latin word for
stones. The first syllable of Cal-cura is,
therefore, derived from and suggestive of
Calcui. Cura, of course, suggests cure.
There you have it. CAL-CURA, a cure for
stones in the bladder or kidneys How
does Cal-cura cure? 1t slowly dissolves the
foreign matter, so that it is passed Off pain
lessly, without danger and without a pain
full surgical operation.
Therefore, Cal-cura Solvent, the full name
of this greatest medical discovery of the
age, exactly defines what the medicine does
and how it does it. 1t goes to the cause of
disease, removes it. and the cure is lasting.
At the same time it tones up the whole
system, regulates the bowels, purifes and
enriches the blood, and strengthens the
nerves. All this is necessary, for serious
disease of one great vital organ always in
wolves others. Cal-cura Solvent was dis

BY o. o. WRIGHT.
We have considered freedom; and
innocence, or the simplicity Of the
childhood state. Another condition
of the divine life of the spirit is hui
mility. And let us see what it is to be
humble? To be humble is to be I'M
pretending; to be lowly, and without
conceit, which is the self-exalting spir-
it of the world. 1t is to be modest,
and willing to do the will of God. 1t
is not required that any one should
think too little of himself; but
the warning of the apostle is that we
should not think of ourselves more
highly than we ought to think.
We ought to be willing to be what
our Lord would have us be, and to
serve our day and generation in that
state of life in which it shall please
God to call US. We are dependent
creatures, and it becomes us to realize
that at best we are but unworthy Ser
wants before our Lord and Master. He
has no use for the pride and preten-
sions of the human heart, and He says.
be humbled; and whosoever shall
humble himself shall be exalted"
And St James says: "Wherefore the
Scripture saith, God resisteth the
proud, but giveth grace to the hum
ble."
And finally, having been brought
into the freedom of the Gospel of the
Son of God, if we are innocent of Will
full sin; and simple hearted toward
the truth; and of humble mind; we
shall most likely have teachable
spirit which is the grand condition of
continuous growth and happiness in
the spiritual life. We are ever to be
disciples. We are never too old tc
learn. Humanity speaking, there car
be no end to our progress in the know
ledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. ST
Paul with all his great learning, anc
ZEAL and power did not feel that b.
had attained the end which was SCI
before him in the Gospel.

must leave the first principles OF tn

of the Father to the children of men.
The Imagination should be filled and
exalted with glowing enthusiasm for
the unseen, eternal good which He has
promised tothem who love Him.
The spiritual life can grow and be
strong and active and filled with noble
aspirations, and holy anticipations
only by the exercise and culture of the
spiritual part of our nature, by
means Of meditation, prayer, wor-
ship, and holy communion with the
Author and finisher of our faith. The
teachable spirit is in active sympathy
with everything that is true and beau
tiful, and good; and so it is that the
Spirit Of Truth. the Holy Spirit of the
living God works through the heart
and mind, and makes the whole life
blessed and divine. 1t is the Spirit of
God in the Spirit of man that keeps
the soul alive, and gives us growth,
and power, and happiness in the hope
of the life everlasting, "whlle we look
not at the things which are seen, but

Of money by fooling them over plant

and he watered the gold in fine shape
and put it into his own pocket, and
found it necessary to move to England
or the Continent for while. The
latest idea is that the great steamship
companies should utilize their electric
systems to charge some large copper
plates suspended in the sea and when
they get to harbor to scrape the gold
off and try them again. Some mathe-

are about a hundred billion tons of

A lady residing at Springfield, Mass,
has kept the record of the arrival of
early spring birds for five seasons,
which she gives to the Springfield Re-
publican. The first migrants of the
different species averaged to appear
earlier in 1908 than any year since the
record has been kept, and this season
is apparently about as late as any, al
though the last week of March some
kinds of birds appeared earlier than
usual. At -Four. mile pond, near
Spring field, where the night heron
nest in large numbers, few represen-
tatives of this species were observed
March %, while generally they do not
come up from the South before the
middle of April. A few Of the song
sparrows regularly pass the winter
here, and the date in the record shows
when the migrants begin to appear.
individuals of this kind of bird were
particularly numerous during the mid
die of March, when winter began to
break up here, while farther north it
remained cold, and the stream of mi

FROM MR.. JACK FROST ="
Superintendent Mcfarland Says That
Damage of Last Year Will
Not Occur Again.

Among the troubles falling to the
lot of the District Water Department
during the cold days Of the winter
is one arising from the bursting OF
frozen water pipes. All pipes near the
surface OF the streets are injured by
heavy frosts, and Superintendent w.
A, Mcfarland. whose authority covers
this matter. has already taken stems
to reduce the danger TO a minimum.
Although no breaks have been re-
ported TO the department thus far the
water inspectors employed by Superin.
tendent Mcfarland are daily rna6iDs-
inspections Of the water mains through
out the city.
Especial care is being exercised over
exposed pipes running under or over
bridges. which are always considered
liable to freeze.
Last winter. Superintendent McFar-
land states, more damage was done
TO pipes by frost than during any
previous year In the history of the
department The principal source OF
the trouble arose from the pipes laid
under the old water department
regime, which IN most cases were near
the surface.
These old pipes. however. have been
almost all replaced by modern ones.

ent regulation requires, and no dam
