Better the Lot of lazar,Is.

England is rich. Assume. by way of imagery. that the national wealth is a loaf of bread at which 10000, 900 feed and that the loaf is sliced into twelve parts. Now, eleven slices go to the uppermost 5,OOO.O0O. The 35,- 100000 are all gnawing at the remain ing one slice-an enormous and per turbing fact. 1t is evident that one slice. since the loaf is not miraculous, cannot feed the 35.OOO.OOO. Quite evi- dent many get not even a crumb. In London last year 200 died fin the streets of starvation. They got not a crumb, and year in and year out 2, 2,OO0,- coo are on the verge of starvation.- Vance Thompson in Outing Magazine.

Different With Him,

When Robert Van Wyck was mayor of New York he was careful as to his personal habits, especially about the city hall. One day he called on the mayor of Dublin at his hotel. That hospitable gentleman desired to set up something that would show his good feeling toward the city he was visiting Mir. Van Wyck begged to be excused. If I should drink" he explained, T might not be able to hold my job of mayor" Faith" was the instant an- swer, If I didn't drink I would be un- able to hold mine."

KILLED IN AUTO RACE
Rex Reinertsen Is Crushed Un- der Car at Pittsburg.
TWO OTHERS NORMALLY HURT
Frenzied Spectators at Brunot's Island See Record Breaking Car Turn Over at Death Curve" as It Hits a Wreok-Manaeement Criticised.

Pittsburg, Sept 10.-Death and maim-
 ing attended the automobile races of
 the national circuit at Brunots Island.
 Rex Reinertsen, president of the Auto
 mobile Repair association of this city,
 was killed almost instantly, Claire
 Daskin, his machinist, was probably
 mortally injured, and Walter Christie,
 holder of worlds records and presi-
 dent of the Christie Iron Works con-
 pany of New York, was hurt so terri
 biy that if he survives he almost cer-
 tainly will be a cripple and blind of one eye.
 Reinertsen and Daskin were the vic- tins of one accident, Christie of an- other, hut the second was direct consequence of the first, being due to failure to take a wrecked car clear of the track. Reinertsen's skull was frac- tured, and so was almost every bone in his body A heavy Haynes car he was driving fell on him, and he was pinned under it long enough for his competitors to add ten laps to their scores before the race was stopped that he might be picked up. Daskin was hurled fifty feet. Both arms and both legs were broken, and he suffered fearful bruises. Christie also was thrown half a hundred feet His back was injured, his left wrist broken and his right eye cut by bit of glass from his goggles.
 "Hoodoo" on Turn In Track.
 Both accidents occurred at the same turn in the track where Barney Old field was hurt so badly year ago as to be confined to hospital for fort night. Oldfield as well as Earl Riser and Eddie Ball, who also had been in- jured there, saw both accidents. Po- lice Superintendent Glenn uttered se- were criticism of the racing manage ment for what he called the poor ar engagements. He particularly condemn ed the managements failure to pro- vide an emergency hospital and warn- ed it he would not permit the running of races today without such prepara- ton for accident. The superintendent also censured the management for not taking entirely off the course the first car that was wrecked
 Christie's car ran into the wreck of Reinertsen's when the New Yorker was trying to break the worlds rec ord for a mile. It is said the manage ment was too eager to allay the ex- citement of the crowd after the first lccident to give proper attention to the removal of the smashed racer. The spectators became frenzied when they learned fatality and probably two had resulted from the accident to Ref nertsen's machine, and 1t was to re- store their nerve that Christie, fol- | owing whirl by Oldfield in the Green Dragon, made his try for a new 'ecord. When he, too, was hurt the 'rowd as soon as its second fit of eX- 'itement passed off melted away, un- willing to watch any more auto racing.

WATCH YOUR TONGUE.
If Furred and Coated, It Is Warning
 of Trouble to Come.

When it is the morning after the night before, you do not have to look at your tongue to know that the stom- ach is upset. the head is aching with dull rythm, and that all the world looks black and dreary.
 It may have been lobster Newburgh Welsh rarebit or some other tasty dish that looked much better at night than the morning after. There is no need to look at the tongue thermometer then for symptoms of trouble. You naturally go to your box of Mi-o-na stomach tablets. and with one of the little relievers bring joy and gladness to the physical system.
 The real time to watch the tongue is all the time. If it is coated with a white fur. or possibly with dark trim mings. even though the stomach does not tell you by the acute pains of in digestion that it needs help. yet the coating shows that you are getting into a bad way and that there is need of Mi-o-na.

To the Pure in Heart.

God stood upon the altar-stair,
Unseen OF all the throng.
Across the wreathing incensed air
They watched the myriad candles fare.
They heard the holy song.
And low they knelt. and fast they prayed,
Calling on Christ and Mary Maid
"Oh. keep us from all ill.'' they said
Thy servants love make strong"
But all this time God waited there.
Unseen upon the altar-stair.
God stood beside the aitar-rar,
Unseen Of al bat one
And she was "a mere thing OF sale:
Her checks were stained with tears and
pale.
She knew what she had done.
The gentle folk paused in their prayer
To eye the creature weeping there:
Preserve as. Christ and Mary Fairr'
Thus did their swift words run.
But she-sO may pure hearts prevail
