THE CONVENT
M. c. Robbins.

There is a place on earth so sweet,
A place where rest is given,
IT'S the blessed holy convent,
And it's typical of Heaven.
The atmosphere is one of peace,
And all around is calm,
To weary ones and aching heart,
'Tis a most blessed balm.
There the Sisters Of St. Francis dwell
And every day and hour.
They're asking God to give them
strength,
To break the tempter's power.
Their mission is to heal the sick,
And bind the broken heart,
And to the weary ones of earth,
They peace and strength impart.
In homes of poverty and sin,
You'll find them every day,
They'll never leave a helpless one,
But with them gladly stay,
Until they heal the sin-sick soul,
And speak the gentle word
That makes the wounded spirit whole,
And leads their thoughts to God.
You'll find them kneeling in the morn
Before the great white throne,
Pleading I'm penance and in prayer,
For sin that's not their own.
They never leave a sinner
Until 2 Christ is found.
And rest comes to the weary one,
And light is shed around
Their faces bear the Seal of Heaven,
A peace is on their brow.
Their lives are spent in sacrifice,
They're pure as driven snow.
They walk amid earth's noise and din,
But in it, have no part
They only live for God and Heaven,
They are the pure in heart

BALK AT INITIALS
ON LINCOLN CENT
Coin Collectors Object to I'm.
print Of Designer on New
Coin

Now that the new Lincoln pennies are
being issued by Wilmington banks they
have found favor with the public. BY
some persons, however, it is declared that
a serious blunder was made by the mint
authorities and that new die may have
to be made to eliminate the objectionable
feature. This will in ali probability make
the coins which have already been placed
I'M circulation Of value above their face
The Objectionable feature is that the
initials of the designer, Victor ID. Bren-
ner, Of New York. appear on the coin in
minute raised letters. 1t is asserted by
those who know that the initials have no
legal right there. The initials are close
to the edge OF the coin on the reverse
side below the sheaf of wheat
Although very small they can be seen
with the naked eye when ones attention
is directed to them Announcement was
made to-day by the Director Of the Mint
that the new pennies Will not be with
drawn or changed.
In so far as their stacking qualities
and adaptabiity to coin or counting ma
chimes go. men in a position to know
declare no justice can be found IN tile
chorus Of criticism that has followed the
issuance of the new Lincoln pennies.
Banks and private corporations which
use machines for the purpose Of counting
coppers say that the new coins slip
through with the Indian variety without
a single babble. Moreover, all such ma
chimes are made adjustable in case of a
jam caused by a mutilated coin and even

of Moliere are markedly so. And the

We do not make condensed milk. Van
Camps is nothing but mk-rich Holstein milk,
with two-thirds the water evaporated.
No sugar is added, no starch, no preservative.
Every drop is pure milk, reduced to the
minimum.
If we added, as some do, a large percentage
of sugar, it would greatly add to our profits.
But you would be paying for the milk that you
get about twice what you pay for Van Camps.

Now sugar is added only because some people

that they pay for it..

Van Camps Milk costs you 10 cents per

That means, when reduced to milISman's milk,

milk isn't cheaper.
The best of sugar costs fUe cents per pound

So, you get one-third more for ten cents in

Please think that over. Twelve ounces OF
