Yesterday, January Goth, was the Goth
of the birth of William Nc
Kinley, msrtyred President of the United
States. Within recent years his memory
has been kept green by the. wearing of
carnation, the Ohio mans favorite flower.
The Carnation League of America has
been formed to keep fresh McKinley's
memory and to instill greater patriotism
into the observance of all national holi-
days. The wearing of the ca.nstion on
each anniversary of McKinley's birth has
grown more common within the last five
years, and probably the next anniversary
will see more carnations worn than ever

There is nothing in the world more
pathetic than the meek, timorous, shrink

all seen them-who have given up their
homes into younger hands, and subsidized
into some out-of-the-wa corner of it, to
sit by the fireside and table henceforth as

being "in the way" afraid of accepting
half what is their due, and going down to
their graves with pitiful deprecating air
as il constantly apologizing for staying so
sharp for the sons and daughters who
will accept this attitude on the part of
those to whom they owe so much.

compounds our food TO tell the truth
about it, and to keep out of it what is
actually harmful. 1t is now only for us
to know how to choose among these
foods what suits our taste and purse.
There should also be more study of fla
vors and brands, more education of the
taste, more ~illingness to learn the facts
about the new food products that have
made their appearance in the last quarter
century, but have not until now been
sold under their true names. We shall
