The lntestines are also lined with mil

the Nutriment from Food. as it passes
them in going through.
This Nutrinsent is then carried into the
Blood. and spread over the Body as
Brain. Bono and Drawn.
But. when the Bowel-Muscles are weak,
the Food moves too slowly to stimulate
the little Gastric Mouths and there is no
flow, or too little flow Of Digestive Juice,
to change the food into nowishnent.
Then, the food decays in the Bowels,
and in the thirty feet of lntestinee.
When this Decay begins the little sue
ton pumps draw Poison from the decayed
Food. into the blood, instead Of the Nutri-
ton it should have drawn.
Now, Cascarets contain the only COM
bination OF drugs that Stimulates these
Muscles Of the Bowels and Intestines just
as Cold Bath, or open-air Exercise,
stimulates Lazy Man.
Cascarets therefore act like Exercise.
They produce the same sort Of Natural

would produce, without any injurious

Have you ever watched n marvellous
piece Of machinery and thought how
nearly human every part seemed In the
intelligent manner in which 1t did its
part? And then the results are so per-
feet that OftentimeS they become a
factor in the worlds progress. One OF
the reasons that we of the human
family 90 often fail of the results which
we desire is because we do not each do
our part as nearly perfect as we can.
SO many people say: "Oh! there are
plenty who can do that and I am not
going to burden myself with it," Now
in any organization (and it is to that
sort of work 1 specially refer) every
person forms an important part of the
whole. Each one must bear her part
of the responsibility. If you don't be-
lieve in the principles of {. society, don't
belong to it and if you Go, why remen-
Der the great piece of machinery and
see to it that there is no friction and
intelligent service on your part and the
results will be all that could be desired.

Some original ideas on poetry and
music are unfolded in George Moore's
new novel, THE Lake" According to
one of the characters Of the story, the
poet is one who can tiddle-diddle-did-
ole like canary in cage; many men
pnilosophize and psychological and
botanize in Verse, but writing in meter
does not constitute Il poet, nor does
the invention of beautiful images and
harmonious sentences. The poets, ac-
cordins to the tiddie-diddle-d iddle doc
trine. are Shakespeare. Shelley, SWIM
burne. and Edgar Allan Poe" Tie
same unique doctrine is applied TO
music:
Beethoven does the fiddle diddle- did
die much better than Bach. Mozart
does 1t better than--no. not better than
Beethoven; but lie does it better than
Chuck. The question Mr.. Ellis and T
are debating now is, could Wagner
le-diddie-diddle? suppose he
could. for, otherwise. how should we
explain the Song of the Bird" i'll
"Siegfried"?

A writer in the London Daily Mail re-
fers at length 10 the growing practice
of rechristening English books for
American publication. Mr.. s. r.
Crockett. for instance, is to add another
to his already considerable list Of novels
this spring. 1t will be issued in Lon
don under the title 1t has borne in
serial form. kid McGhie: A Nugget OF
Dim Cold Admirers of Mr. Crockett
and we believe their name is LEGION
will gather from this title that the
novelist is again on the ground he
worked SO well in "Cleg Kelly" the
story dealing with low life In the neigh
borhood of Edinburgh, and winding up
in optimistic fashion with 1.-The Kid" on
ranch in America. Now. Mr. Crock
ett's new novel, announced in America
as Fishers of Men," is the same as
kid McGhie.' OF course, from the
| point of view of the ordinary reader it
does not matter what any novel may
be called in America, but it does seem
| to us that for all who take serious in
| terest in the contemporary literature of
both England and America. this loose
habit of allowing American publishers
| 10 fix any title they like to an English
| novel-and English publishers to do the
same with American novels, is likely
to lead to confusion. We can imagine
some literary historian OF a future day
making startling discoveries of numer-
Gus works by English authors pub
| lisEed in America that never saw the
light in their own country, AS an in
| nf q
doubtedly exist at present we remem-
| Der writer in an English literary
weekly contrasting somewhat unfav-
! orably Miss Mary Johnston's extremely
| popular novel ITO Have and To Hold. :"
| with the same writer's THE Old Do
ninion," a novel which was widely
read in England few years back, and
which unfortunately for the English
critic, happened to be ITO Have and
To Hold re-christened for the English
| market. We are moved to protest
against this changing of titles, as it
| seems to us incOmpa tible with any
serious regard for contemporary fiction
1t happens occasionally. by the way
that books by English authors are pub
lished in the United States only. The
old pirate" publishers put many such
works into circulation. Mr.. Barrie for
insatnce, being represented in America
| by several collections Of his miscci-
laneous writings which he has never
sanctioned in this country. But some
times, as in the case of the late Arch
deacon Farrar, whose very interesting
volume of personal recollections has
been published only in the United
States, the author is party to the ar
rangement. Mr.. Jerome X. Jerome. we
think published a book in America not
long ago. which has not yet been given
to the English public: and Mr.. Richard
lie Caffeine. who is now all but a
nafuraliZed American. has issued on
the other side several books that are
not known to readers in England. All
this from the purely British standpoint.
In the case of ITO Have and To Hold,
the boot is obviously on the other leg.
although the writer in the Daily Mail
| calmly overiooks that fact.

man Lever in pulling for Colum-

HOME MISSIONS.
Home Missions.

The Woman's Home Mission
Society carries on fifteen schools
which have sixty-six teachers
and a pupilage Of 1,e14: The cost
of maintaining these schools has
been S26, 781.15, and the income
from fees was IS. 356.75. 1t will
be seen that these institutions
are in no sense self-supporting,
and yet an effort is being made
to develop the students by ex-
acting what tuition is possible IN
each community. Perhaps no
department is so far-reaching in
development of character and
good citizenship as this, and the
money thus invested is yielding
a larger percentage of good than
in any other place Of work. Any
investment, however, which pro-
duces a respect of self, a sense
of the dignity of human life,
some conception OF the rlgntS o.
others, and a capacity for right
eous living cannot be measured
bv dollars and cents. Back OF
the money is the investment OF
human life with d passion for
high ideals born of that love for
which a man clay down his life. "
The self-sacrifcing spirit and
holy purpose of the faculties OF
our schools have wrought might
ily in the young life committed

The communication of J. r..
Hill. a member of the grand
jury from Paxville: is published
in this issue with pleasure, but
wethink Mr.. Hill appears to have
been :;given a lemon" He seems
sour from some cause, and will
look through pessimistic glasses
So far a his prayer for better
officers is concerned, and missing
his mark, we would remind him
that it is currently reported, he
was one of three, who, after
participating in the primary,
went to the general election and
scratched one of the nominees Of
the Democratic party, hence, his
missing his mark for better
officers must be directed at those
he did not vote for, and not the
one he scratched. Mr.. Hill feels
the burden of taxation SIS heavy
enough at present, paying Off
GERS salaries, hired road over
seers. extra county claims for
Gripping mules and breaking
wagons and bridge building" :"
We agree with him in part, any
amount Of taxation, however
small, would be too burden
some for the little benefits re-
ceived by the taxpayers. 1t is
not because salaries are too high,
there is not an officer getting
too much. the trouble lies with
the management, and it is be-
cause of the small salary paid to
a Supervisor no better service
can be had, and it is because Of
the penny-Tise and pound-fool-
ish idea some people have Of
public management that our
roads and bridges are in the sad
condition to make people COM
plain and cause them to not have
the energy and heart to take on
the spirit Of progress. Mr.. Hills
saying, "you would make US feel
better toward you if you not re-
fer to US any more as niggers, :"
is so far-fetched that it is not
worth notice, but inasmuch as
Mr.. Hill, a member of the grand
jury, has construed our editorial
as comparing him to a ''nigger, :"
we would direct the attention Of
the officers, whose duty it is to
fill the jury box, that the law
requires the names of ''good and
lawful men, which means men
of good, common sense, able to
understand what they read.
