SILVER is NATURES REMEDY.

At the Thanksgiving football game
the young girl, despite her sable stole,
shivered.
THAT shiver," said her companion,
physician, 'is natures method of
warming you. 1t is natures preventive
remedy for a cold.
"You see, the shiver is an involun'
tary rythmical contraction of the mus
Giles, and there is nothing like a con-
traction of the muscles for raising the
temperature of the body.
Thus, when you shiver, nature IS
putting you through a little course OF
exercise to warm you up, so that you
won't take a cold, or a dose of rheu-
matism, or an attack of pneumonia.
When nature shakes you up in THIS
kindly way, it is your duty to help her
out by moving briskly about Tor
while, thus making absolutely sure
your immunity from Illness

CONSOLIDATION IN RELIGION.

The spirit of consolidation is in the
air. 1t is the supreme economic and
social tendency Of the times. Even the
churches have been attacked by it and
certainly there is much to be said for
the movements now in the making for
the consolidation of denominations
whose beliefs are practically identical.
One of the latest projects in this
direction is that which committees Of
the Congregational, United Brethren
and Methodist Protestant churches are
striving to work out. The last named
church, by the way, should not be con-
fused with the much larger and quite
distinct denomination the Methodist
Episcopal church. Committees appoint
ed to formulate conditions of union
have recently reported. One commit
tee has perfected plan for CONSOLIDATE
ing the publishing work of all three
churches and syndicating much of the
material, without affecting the formal
existence of present interpretations or
| interfering with educational institu-
tons. Another proposes a plan of pol
ity whereby the communicates shall be
| organized in district associations, an
nual conferences and a national council
to meet quadrennially. In this way
it is expected that complete fusion will
| in the end be attained
The tendency of the religious denom
nations to get together" is one Of
| the most hopeful signs of the times.
, Competition is desirable in business.
but in religion cooperation is better.

Humans Who Hibernate.

HEAR WHAT WILLIE HAS TO SAY
Kaiser Speaks Through Talking Ma
chine and His Words Are to be
Preserved.

BERLIN, Dec. 14.-The monograph
ic record recently made at the instance
of the German emperor, who wishes it
preserved in the German museum of
Harvard university and in the Con-
gressional library in Washington, con-
tains the following words from the
mouth Of the German sovereign:
I'VE must be strong in time of dis
tress; never desire the unobtainable Or
things of no value.
1--WE must accept the day as it is and
seek for good in everything; be salts
fed with human nature and mankind
as they are and be happy even in the
darkest hours if We only can find a
moment of joy
1--WE must work and act, even if no
immediate benefit should result from
it.
ANY one adopting this policy will
be free, happy and enterprising, and
his life will be beautiful.
"Mistrusting man is always unjust
toward others and wrongs himself.
1.-The world is very large and its in
habitants very small so that they
can't expect everything to cause their
exclusive personal advancement.
There is no one who can assert that
when sorrows are met with they are
not necessary for the rest Of creation.
"The will of God is reflected in ev-
erything, and We weak human beings
do not possess sufficient knowledge to
understand it.
THE world is as it should be and, no
matter what happens, we must recog-
nize the will of God is everything"
Emperor Williams activity was new
er better illustrated than during a re-
cent indisposition. Though confined to
his bed in the palace at Potsdam, he
continued to receive his ministers, sign
papers and documents and transact all
state business from beneath the cover
let's. 1t is said that he and his family
rather enjoy such forced confinement,
because then they can lead a more in
innate and familiar life.

The globetrotter, replacing the VOL

Quoting the editorial department of

are often rank injustices, particularly
to the individuals employed ON news

Nothing can be more despicable or
cowardly than an act such as that
which yesterday brought grief to little
Narcissa Johnson. Out of a spirit OF
revenge a sHhoolmate telepnoned a
newspaper the statement that the girl

was false and was published without
proper investigation. But corrections
and apologies do not assuage the suf-
fering of the little victim. Nothing
should be left undone in searching for
