The faces that look down upon us

A SANCTUM SERMON.

lf,you have friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne'er be said
Of friend till he is dead?
If you hear a song that thrills you.
Sung by any child of song,
Praise it. Do not let the singer
Wait deserving praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the joy you may impart?
If you hear prayer that moves you
BY its. humble, pleading tone,
Join it. Do not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of two or three in prayer?
If you see the hot tears falling
From brothers. weeping eyes,
Share them. And by kindly sharing
Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should anyone be glad
When brothers heart is sad?
If silvery laugh goes rippling
Through the sunshine on his face,
Share it. 'Tis the wise mans saying,
For both grief and joy place
There's health and goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
If your work is made more easy
BY friendly, helping hand,
Say so. Speak out brave and truly,
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should brother workman dear
Falter for a word of cheer?
Scatter thus your seed of kindness,
All enriching as you 60
Leave them; trust the Harvest Giver,
He will make each seed to grow.
So until its happy end
Your life shall never lack friend

OffENSES AGAINST THE EYES,

The first offense against the eyes is
reading with poor light. This requires
the ciliary muscle to do extra work to
sharpen sight. 1t applies to dim
lights. twilight, or sitting too far from
the light. The second offense is one of

DOOMED TO DIE MAD.
Rich Man Says He's Ready. and
Arranges His Business Affairs.

William H. Marsh, an old and wealthy
man, when told that he would die with
in week of hydrophobia calmly turn
ed away with the remark that he
would be ready when the summons
came. Without a tremor he walked
down the steps of the New York Pas
teur institute, stepped into his carriage
and started for his splendid home i'm
Brooklyn.
"You waited too long," the surgeons
at the institute told him after they
had made their examination. "Our
treatment cannot helpyou. You have
hydrophobia.
There was not a falter in his voice
or a change in his face as he heard
them.
"How much time didyou give me?'
he asked.
"Not long," said the physician,
probably not more than four or five
days"
"Well," he said," if have to go /
can face it. My business is in shape,
and day or two more will see it all
settled. I'd rather die some other way
but I'm not afraid"
There was nothing about the man to
lead anyone to suspect he was doomed
to die. His mouth twitched a little and
he was slightly nervous, but beyond
that he seemed in good health.
The strange thing about the case is
that he was never bitten by dog. He
received the deadly poison into his
system through the licking of his fin
gers by homeless spaniel.
The tragic and heroic death of Mr..
Marsh few days later again directs
attention to the need of stern measures
to eradicate this menace. Recently ir
an article on vivisection, the Times
Dispatch remarked that the argument
that there were no Pasteur institute:
in Great Britain and no hydrophobia
was rather convincing proof of the
efficacy OF muzzling dogs which is re
quired by the laws of Great Britain.

Lassoing is all right in the right time

that we do things out of time and out

not succeed. If man wants to be
good let him be good when some poor
cuss needs help and kindness. That
business of putting on your best clothes
and going to church on Sunday isn't
being good. Being good is knocking
off the interest, reducing the rent or

MAKES ASTONISHING CURES
Mi-o-na Tablets Cure Dyspepsia by
Promptly Removing the Cause or
Money Back.

Miona is a scientific and effective
remedy for the permanent cure Of in
digestion
Food is digested in the stomach by
means of a chuning movement Of the
walls Of the stomach, which thorough
ly mixes the food with the gastric or
stomach juices
II the muscular walls are nabby and
lack tone and energy, the stomach
cannot churn the food properly and
the digestive juices are not properly
mixed with the food.
This causes Indigestion The com.
mon symptoms are: weight and full.
ness after meals. coated tongue, bad
taste in the mouth. discharges Of
wind from the mouth. and belching of
sour material.
Dyspepsia cannot be cured by TAX
ing a digcstor. such as pepsin, be-
cause pepsin simply digests your food
artihcially. and not all of the food
either, for IL has no effect at all on
starchy food, such as potatoes rice
oatmeal, bread, etc.
There Is just one way TO cure dys-
pepsia and stomach disorders, trivial
or serious, and that is to tone up or
put energy into the stomach walls so
that they will be able to properly mix
or churn the food.
Mtona tablets cure stomach trou.
bles by putting strength and energy in
to the stomach They quickly arouse
the stomach from It's macton. and in
q short time It is able to do It's work
properly.
And bear i'm mind that when the
stomach is in good condition. consti-
patton disappears, also nervousness,
drowsiness. night sweats, heartburn,

Where there is complete and perfect digestion
there is of course, no room for dyspepsia, And
II is for various reasons satisfactory to pre-
vent dyspepsia than to attempt to cure it. Fact
is YOU must depend upon Nature for a cure
and Kodol assists Nature,
Nature will cure a sick stomach quicker than
any medicine in the world-if you give Nature a
chance But Nature cannot cure the stomach
while the stomach is overworked. That is i'm
possible.
In order to be cured the stomach must rest.
That is the point. And that is what Kodol is for
to rest the stomach It digests every particle
of food for the stomach, that the stomach has
nothing to do but get well. Then it gets well.
You would be surprised if you knew how many
persons have indigestion. And, of course, most
of them have dyspepsia ultmately--if they neg
lect the indigestion. Then Nature is in urgent
need of assistance And nervous dyspepsia is a
terrible thing to those afflicted with it.
Kodo supplies this assistance just the same as
in the early stages of indigestion But more time
and more rest are required for Nature to effect a
cure 1t is best not to wait until one gets dys-
pepsia.
Nearly all classes of people are subject to in
digestion. Healthy appearance outwardly Is no
indication Of a healthy stomach. Neither are
sound muscles any safeguard against an unhealthy
stomach.
