 Smiths.
 "On Revering Riches" seems to be an unusually apropos subject for a sermon in these days when the conduct of our rich men Is under searching criticism on the one hand, and when. on the other so many regard the acquisition of money as the one supreme object of life. Charles Battell Looms, who writes on the sub ject in Smiths for January, takes no ex- treme view. His little preachment Is full of good humor and clear-eyed sanity. Trade Winds' is poem by Wallace IT, win, comes pretty close to the "Bab Bal lads'' of Gilbert for spontaneous merri- ment and fun. What Was the Star of Bethlehem?" is an article by Ray Ham ilton on a subject that has interested all Christendom for a great many years. "A Dead 'Un," by Arthur Morrison, is a graphic story of the life of the under world, and Aunt Cornela's Christmas by Mary c. Francis, Is just as interest ing. although in an entirely different way. Lillian Bell discusses "The Ethics of Filtration, and seems to be well posted on her subject.

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
covered the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nouriSh a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine Of the
healthy millions. A few doses
aids digestion, stimulates the liver
to healthy action, purifes the
blood and makes you feel buoyant
and vigorous. You can get Dr..
