A Woman's Way.

Her husband will get loaded"
He'll go the primrose way;
He'll squander all his earnings
And leave her to work by day:
Yet when he is arrested
For this, without a doubt,
She'll promptly leave her washing
And go and bail him out.
Her husband will deprive her
OF comforts in the home,
He'll club her and he'll snuh her
And he'll go away to roam;
But does she say You s~coundrel,
I'll Rave you up for this?"
All, no, she tells her neighbors
That her life is perfect bliss.
And thus 1t is she labors
To keep him in her heart,
To minimize his errors
Which leaves the sorest smart
And though she's often foolish
In that she thwarts h laws.
Should you ask her why she does Il
She'll answer you Because.

Evidence for Immortality.

Many years ago I heard a dis
tinguished American orator deliver a
lecture upon the evidence Of immor-
tally outside the bible. In the stress
and pressure of the closing days Of
a short session OF congress he held the
rapt and breathless attention of an
immense audience, comprising all that
was most cultured, brilliant and re-
nowned in the social and official life
OF the capital.
He dwelt with remarkable efrec-
tiveness and power upon the fact that
to the lowest, was an instinct, an i'm
pulse, a desire implanted, but that ul-
timately were found the conditions and
and the opportunities for its fulles,
realization. He instanced the wild
fowl, that, moved by some mysterious
grations from the frozen fens OF the
pole and reach at last the shining
South n the summer seas; the fish
that from tropic CULTS seek thei1
spawning grounds in the cool, brigh
rivers of the North; the bees that fnt
in the garniture OF fields n forest.
the treasure with which the stor,
their cells, n even the wolf, the liol
n the tiger, that are provided will
their prey.
Turning to humanity, he alluded t,
the brevity OF life; its incompleteness
Its a1mless, random and fragmentar,
careers; Its tragedies, its injustice, it
ferred to the Unsuitable hunger 70
knowledge, the efforts Of the uncon
8querable mind to penetrate the mystic
ries OF the future; its capacity to com
prehend infinity and eternity; its de

for Immortality. and hi asked, s.Wh,

Eating for Strength.

Tie greatest pleasure to be de- rived from eating is the pleasure one gets in the knowledge that his food is giving him greater strength and vii taiity.
 2ecause of this fact there is a con- 1 increase in the consumption of QNker Scotch Oats; every time the strength making qualities of Quaker Scotch Oats have been tested by sci entific investigation or by experiments in families it has been found to be a food without an equal.
 It builds the muscles and brain with out taxing the digestive organs; it costs so little anyone can afford it, and it is so carefully prepared and packed that it is absolutely pure and clean. A Quaker Scotch Oats eating family is always a healthy family
 Besides the regular size packages Quaker Scotch Oats can be bought in dramatically sealed tins. Packed in this way it keeps fresh and sweet in any climate. Il
