As to Absent Friends.

There is an unfortunate tendency
with some people to talk in a dispar.
aging way about absent acquaintances.
"Oh, she's very nice, but" and this
but" often leads up to quite un.
necessary and unkind comment The
golden rule to observe in talking about
people is to speak exactly as though
they were present, says Home Notes.
Everything gains by repetition. and
not always favorably. Bishop Bever.
idge once said: Resolve never to
speak of a mans virtues before his
face, nor of his faults behind his
back" and faultfinders and fiatterers
would do well to bear this in mind.

that the law be so changed that if
agriculture or manual training and
domestic science are taught in the
high schools already receiving aid
from the state, these schools shall
receive $500 state aid. They now
receive 81, 700. This would effect Sank

THE CHILD'S DAY
By Rev. Brandford Leavitt,

By Rev. Brandford Leavitt.
 Christmas is the childs day in the Christian year, and how this weary and uneasy world needs the child like mind to save it from itself. What is more subtly fitted to the needs of a worn and dissipated world than the image of all that is alive and fresh and unstained? It is the child in men we look for and love-again today the child is the savior that answers a smile with smile, that responds to the confidence With confidence, ready to take you and he for what we would like to be and thus lifts us nearly to our ideal.
 1 have admired wit in men and in- fiuence and grace and beauty in wom- en and 1 find also that one disturbes these, grows indifferent to them as he gets older and sadder and wiser, but loves in men and women the little child longs for some one not to ad- mire nor praise nor be charmed by but some one to love so that loving shall be peace.

LIGHTNING KILLS FEW.

In 1906 lightning killed only 169 people in this whole country. Ones chances of death by lightning are less than two in a million. The chance of death by liver, kidney or stomach trouble is vastly greater, but not if Electric Bitters be used. as Robert Madsen. of West Burlington, Ia., proved. Four doctors gave him up after eight months of suffering from virulent liver trouble and yellow jaundice. He was then completely cured by Electric Bitters. They're the best stomach. liver, nerve and kidney remedy and blood purifier on earth. Only soc at all druggists.
