"The Blood is The Life.o
Science has never gone beyond the
above simple statement of scripture.
But it has illuminated that statement
and given it meaning ever broadening
with the increasing breadth of knowl-
edge. When the blood is ebad . or inn
pure it is not alone tbs body which
suffers through disease. The brain is
also clouded, the mind and judgement
are effected, and many an evil deed or
impure thought may be directly traced
TO the impurity of the blood. Foul,
impure blood can be made pure by the

We make no complaint that every
subscriber of the paper Is not paid q
year in advance, but as all expect to
pay some time. we wish for their own
sakes they would keep the account so
they would receive the magazine Sec
ton each week. When we read the
interesting stories, sketches, histori-
cal articles. in the magazine from
week to week we feel sorry that every
subscriber is not having the same
pleasure we are. Last week there
was picture and a write-up of the
great falls Of the Zambesi river in
Africa and the Victoria Falls which
have grandeur and power above that
of our famed Niagara. There was
also story entitled. "On Equal
Ground" which is good. It suggests
q novel way of gaining relief for ones
true feelings on given situation, by
writing them down. and also gives
broad hint as to how to have domestic
harmony. This week there is story
which should interest the children
about kitten named sBoots.' "The

Wasted All Three Wishes.

An Irish legend has IL that a go
fairy once visited an old couple an,
promised them that any three wishe,
they would make would be granted.
After racking their brains for some
time in an endeavor to discover what
they desired most the couple decided
to visit the county fair to see IL some
thing there would suggest what they
wanted. They did SO, and, after ram
bling around all day and not seeing
anything that exactly suited them, to-
ward evening they found themselves
before a display of kitchen utensils.
Among them was a soup ladle. cheap,
but likely to appeal to woman. so the
old woman in an absent moment said,
"Oh, I wish had one of those" and
Immediately she had it. The old man
was so enraged because his wife had
thoughtlessly thrown away one valua.
BILE wish that he retorted, 81 wish that
was stuck down your throat" and i'm.
mediately this was done. Thereupon
he was at once sorry at what he
wished, and the only thing left to do
was to wish the ladle out again. So
all three wishes went for naught.
