BUSINESS REVIVAL IS ON

the day is the unmistakabie revival of business in many directions. OF
course. imropvement IS much more pronounced in some quarters than
in others, but the recovery is most certainly genuine and lot OF n mag

There is no extraordinary pros pGity or boom in sight mi none is
desired. for the country has had enough OF such M lei disastrous
reaction, and simply requires the g radual and steady resumption Of or
NAL activities. such a $ it is now q perencmg. All that the country
needs for the present is to be let alone for a period in order to recover
Its nerve and wonted activity. If we look for the quarters in which e.
covery is most pronounced, we find it IN the building and engineering
trades.
A great many important enter prhes we're in course of construction
or about to be initiated when the panic came. These works. more over

DEATH Is PAINLESS
THE fear Of death, which has been so enormously exploited in dra
matte hteraturs, sacred and otherw ise. Is said o be almost without x
istence in sickness. Most patients have lost it completely by the time
they become seriously ILL.,
Death and sleep are both painless, according to DR.. Woods Eutchin-
son in the American Magazine. and cause neither fear o anxiety by
their approach. 1t is one of the most mercful t Kings in nature that
the overwhelming majority Of tn pOisons which destroy life, whether
they n those Of infectious disease s or those which are elaborated
from the bodys own waste products. act as narcotics and abolish con-
seriousness long before the end comes.
While death is not in any sense analogous to sleep, it resembles it
to the extent that 1t is in the vast majority of instances OF only not
painful but welcome Pain racked and feverscorched patients long for

flower or the falling of a leaf Our dear ones drift out on the ebbing
tide Of life without fear. without pain, without regret, save for those they
eyes behind the mask his face becomes as welcome as that Of his twin
brother sleep.
