RECOGNITION OF THE OCCULT
Even It's Enemies Are Willing TO
Grant That the Belief Has a
Foundation In Fact.

The mysterious. the secret, and the
Unknown have ever exercised a power
ful attraction over the human mind,
and the present craze for what we
may designate cocmprehensively as
occult research is no new thing. But
II cannot be denied that. apart from
the merely superficial side, which
naturally fascinates the empty headed,
the frivolous. OF the ignorant, there
are aspects OF occultism which make
a very deep appeal to the more intel
lectual and spiritual among us.
Whether this be good sign or not.
it is not our intention to inquire: but
Il is curious to note the grounds upon
which its bitterest opponents base
their objections to occultism in gen
eral. We need not trouble about the
superior or matter-of-fact persons
who. without the slightest inquiry,
smile at such 'superstitions," for no
man has a right to sheer at another's
beliefs. unltss he can prove that other
to be wrong Put the real enemies OF
occult science are those who, fully
admitting the objective reality of oc-
cult experiences. hold that they are
necessarily evil and harmful in them
selves. On this point, again, we
should not care to express an opinion.
but it is clearly a remarkable fact
that fancies which have for so many
generations been looked upon as mere
supersttions and old wives tales
should now be acknowledged by so
many intelligent and thinking individ-
uals as az least resting upon some
foundation of fact Who could have
predicted such a tremendous reversal
of opinion concerning these matters
fifty years ago ?-I,ondon Globa-

Bad Teeth Co win Good Brains.

An English scientist has pointed out
that there are signs OF a steady de-
generacy in two sets of organs vital to
the well being OF the human race. and
the fall is most marked among the
western nations. The evidence is that,
colncident with the mental advance OF
man, there has been diminution in
the provision Of teeth. In the ape.
the negro. and the white man. brain
and teeth arc inversely proportional

reduced the work of the teeth. and the
demand OF the brain for blood has
starved the former: disorders OF di.

feel that their superior mentality is
reflected in the child's accomplish

Bones for Bricks.

One of the most interesting sights
of Malta, and. at the same time,
rather a gruesome one. is the Chapel
OF Bones. Guides who show visitors
round the island never fail to point
this out. The whole of the sides,
arches. and about the altar are the
skulls and cross bones of Iongdepart-
ed monks. In inches round the chapel
stand skeletons of monks in their
habits; on either side of the altar
stands a ske,ton. representing Father
Time. with a scythe. Standing at the
FEAR of the chapel, one osnnot but ad-
mire and wonder at the regular man
aer in which the skulls and bones are
placed.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.

Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health is not to
be found in the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance Of
health may follow facial treatment,
but health itself lies much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to the health of ev-
cry woman Is regularity Of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes. bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimpies and general air Of lassitude,
Is in most every case due to consti-
patton or Indigestion. or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective. is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
DR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild In it's action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
Ats effect. strengthening The muscles
of stomach and bowels so that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func-
tons without assistance.
DR. CaIdwelrs Syrup Pepsin Is sold

been awarded to their mother, with
the exception of two months in the
