THE COLLEGE SPIRIT

In the course of recent dinner
of college men, at which the col
ege spirit" had been eXtoled, this
story followed an unusuanlly impas-
stoned speech dealing with the man
ner in which the alumni stick To-
gether and help one another out.
Smith. a graduate of Yale, was mid
dle-aged and hard up, so In his dis
tress he determined TO appeal to the
generosity of Jones. his old-time class
mate, now prosperous business man.
Going to Jones's Office, he sent in
his card to the great man, and was
promptly admitted
He found his old friend Jones seat
ed at fine, big mahogany desk. The
furniture and rugs were of the most
expensive sort. and the caller cX-
perienced a feeling somewhat akin to
awe as he contemplated all these evil
slences of prosperity. The great man
first pressed one OF a long row Of
mother of pearl buttons that occu-
pied one side of his desk. dismissed
the clerk who responded, with 10 few
whispered instructions, then turned to
Smith;

you. Why, ! havn't laid eyes on you

way?"
prosperity hasn't spoiled my old
classmate," said Smith to himself.
Then he opened his heart, telling
Jones all his troubles; how he had
had wife and three children, a hap
py home, and q good paving business,
but the children died, one after an
other his Wife became an invalid and
also died; his partner swindled him;
he first mortgaged his home, then
lost IT. now he was down and out"
AS Smith talked he was carried
away by the recital of his woes, and
the tears ran down his face. Jones
was similarly affected. and when he
pushed one of the mother Of pearl
buttons his caller was sure that help

him to preach the truth and If 1t is

trouble is that sometimes unbalanced
propagandists and agitators do not
preach the truth but push wild theor-
les to very radical lengths.
But many people prefer even that
to the preacher who plays sycophant,
or who Is noodle and who harks to
the dead ages instead of reconstruct-
ing his theology on the basis of mod

CURING COLDS IN ADVANCE.

We get sick because we are too lazy
to keep well. according to DR.. Woods
Hutchinson in Woman's Home Com
panion for October. We are always
looking for short cuts to health. OF
'reputed cures for coughs and cold, he
says:
Their name is literally legion, for
hardly drug can be mentioned, hard
ly substance discovered, which Is
capable OF either being swallowed or
inhaled, that has not been recomend-
ed as a cough remedy. Eight tenths
OF all colds are mild infections which
run their course until the body has
time to produce an antitoxin or anti
body to stop their further progress.
AS this process in reasonable healthy
individuals is usually carried out in
from four to six days, anything which
happens to be given in that time
stands a fair chance of getting a rep
utation as a cure.
The only sure cure for colds and
coughs is 10 avoid the infections and
the foul air OF ill-ventilated rooms
and buildings in which they breed;
to keep the body toned up to fighting
pitch, by cold baths and an abundance
OF fresh oir, especially in the bedroom
and IL the infection does get foot
hold to assist Nature in her fight
against II by rest in the pen air, and
and promoting elimination through
tle skin, bowels and kidneys.
In fine don't tinker with sympaoms
look for the cause, and remove It.
Don't try to lock the stable door
after the horse Is stolen, but train
your horse to bite strangers Attack
is the best defense. Keep your body
at good fighting weight. and you can
defy disease. Sunlight, food, fresh
air and exercise are the only cure-alls
known. Don't worry about disease
and what to take when you're sick,
but work for health"

from Rev. d. II. Carrick who has just
Resigned the pastorate of the Chris
tian church, at Lawrence, Kansas He
says no preacher can lead an honest
life. His language on resignation is
as follows:

scenes Of the pastors home or it
might realize the trials, the glGefs
and pains the pastor and his wife
are forced to bear. preachers wife
cannot even make a pretense of
dressing or dining we'll or the peo-
pie will think they are paying their
