AS the New Year approaches
there are many resolutions made in
regard to what we will and will
not do during the coming year,
and these few items | find in my
year book cut from sermon de-
livered in st. Louis on New Year S
Day of last year. These are fine
rules for Contentment and guild
ance, and they are well worth
reading:
|. Allow thyself to complain of
nothing-not even of the weather.
>. Never picture thyself to thy.
self under any circumstances in
which thou art not.
3. Never compare thine own lot
with that of another.
4. Never allow thyself to dwell
on the wish that this or that had
been, or were, otherwise than it
was, or is. God almighty loves
thee better and more wisely than
thou dost thyself.
). Never dwell on the morrow;
remember that it is Gods, not
thine. The heaviest part of sorrow
is often the look forward to it,.
THE Lord will provide.

Lies Spice
Variety is the spice Of life"
BY ). NICK. +.

Down in our neighboring country
of Mexico there is movement on
foot to abolish few OF the holi
days that are celebrated there. OF
the three hundred and sixty five
days in the year, there are one
hundred and thirty one days on
which no one works. Large manu-
factories ARE obliged to close or
run with fewer hands, and this
means great loss. Living is
cheap in Mexico and the sun is
bright. so there Stems to be no
great luduccmcut for hard work.
Christmas is essentially plum.

has favorite recipe which she
usually considers the best going. |

delicious and 1t can he prepared at
very small expense. call it my
Mrs. Williams plum pudding y
1t is made ms follows: Three cups
of bread or cracker crumbs, one
cup flour, one cup shredded suet,
one cup milk, one cup molasses,
one cup raisins, one-half cup citron,
teaspoonful yeast powder, pinch of
salt, and cinnamon. cloves and nut.
meg to taste. Mix well with four
beaten eggs. Steam four hours in
double boiler. So many people
say that II plum pudding is not
good unless covered with brandy

you may change your mind about
it. Sauce for plum pudding-One

Mrs. Ferguson, prominent
club woman of st. Louis, has taken
u decided stand against the comic
section Of the Sunday newspaper,
and her paper concerning it is said
to be in much demand by other
clubs. All right thinking people
will heartily subscribe to any senti-
meut that will change the present
m0nstrosity that fills the land on
Sunday morning. The word funny
is misnomer, for all the things
contained in these papers have
passed beyond that stage into the
vicious. The early days of Buster
Brown and his dog Tige were filled
with really childish pranks, but
they have passed now into the
lowest kind of depraved tricks. and
cannot help but have bad in
hueuce on the child's mind. The
Katzenjammer kids have always
been so bad that it seemed as If II
would he impossible for them to bf
worse, but they seem lately to have
accomplished it. These supple
ments are very promptly removed
from our Sunday papers and put
where they can't be found. Mrs
Ferguson says it is not worth
while to pay 81 900, 600 for the ju.
dietary every year and then make 4
joke of law breaking. This is
good work that might be continued
by all the clubs over the country.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they CANNOT
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness if caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube When this tube is infamed
you have a rurnbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con
sition of the mucous surfaces.

Radiun1 PrOpeS Earth
8OO,OOO,OOO Years old

LONDON, Nov IL-The problem Of
the earth's age IS approximately solved
by radium, and the deductions from the
discovery OF that marvellous substance
NJ rocks have resulted IN the new esti-
mate of 100000 years as the period
that has elapsed since the earth became
cool enough 10 support life.
The interesting statement was made
by Sir Robert Ball, the noted astrOuO-
meF. Before radlum was known TO
exist Lord Kelvin had estimated the
cool period at only 20.000.oO0 years. which
did not accord with the calculations Of
geologists, who believed that the earth
could not have reached it's present de
velopment under Oo,Ob0 900 years Ra-
dunn has thus confirmed the geological
estimate. and shown the calculations Of
mathematicians like Lord Kelvin 10 be
wrong.
