Your Child's Health
Your First Thought

II you have children. naturally your
first thoughts are for their health.
You certainly want them to develop
strong, healthy constitutions. The
most careful attention must be given
when children show the first symp-
toms Of the many common ailments.
Perhaps they are weakly and thin, or
grow too fast thus sacrificing
strength. These and other apparent
ly minor ailments may be the fore
runner to a weak constitution for life.
Such children need Jayne's Tonic
Vermifuge which is essentially a chill
dren's tonic. First Of all, 1t will prop
erly care for the chi,d's stomach. 1t
will also improve the appetite, and
will add strength to the other organs
of the body. In cases of thin or i'm
pure blood, 1t increases the number
of red corpuscles enabling the on
riched blood to keep the body healthy
and strong.
Among the most common ailments
that children develop Ia that Of dis
ordered stomach, leading to an i'm
paired digestion. In many cases this
trouble Is due to parasites in the in
testinal tract. To correct such trou-
ble, Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge is un-
surpassed.
For more than eighty years mil
lions of children have been restored to
health through the use of this tonic
Insist upon Jaynes: accept no other.

POETRY AND FRIENDSHIP.

Crank w Gunlausus in Chicago
Record Herald.)
Oh, friend, my bosom said,
Through thee alone the sky is arched
Through thee the rose is red;
All things through thee take nobler
forms,
And look beyond the earth;
The mill-round of our fate appears
A sun-path in thy worth.
Me, too. thy nobleness hath taught
To master my despair.
The foundations of my hidden life
Are through thy friendship fair
All of such words taken like these
will illustrate the fact that friend
ship worthy the name is founded on
truth. IT, as our poet sings, friend
ship be streaked with colors of the
ideal it must be a a true ideal, lest
the friendship become beautiful
dream, which, however, ends in night
mare Such an ideal there must be,
else friendship cannot be true. For,
with all the roots that every friend
ship has in the real world, and with
all the demands which every friend
ship makes on the soil of practical
life in which it is rooted, 1t is sad
lie if somewhere it blooms not. How
can it blossom without a true ideal
So the simplest beginning of hu-
man friendship began in the ground
of service, one soul to another, and
operates on the faith that there Is
atmosphere and a sun and sky
above the ground in which it shall
bloom. In friendship. as in all the
life of man. the practical seems tC
oppose the ideal, as everywhere the
finite, and the human reaches fol
the divine. He who shuts off the in
finit sky from above me is most un'
true to me. 1t is as fatal to my owr
life as though he had taken away the
finite world from under me.
Friendship, like life. must have the
practical and real for its rootage, the
poetic and ideal for its fruitage. AL
friendship, like all life, has its growth
between these realms. 1t spreads its
arms and shots forth its leaves ir

ate itself from either. II my suppos.
ed friend imagines that he can cut
loose from the world and human life
as it ise, and befriend me by dwelling
altogether in the world which ought
to be. he deceives himself, and l find
the air too thin to breathe. Abso-
lutte truth to the fact that, as matters
really are. I have body, and Its
needs, temptations and desires that
fasten themselves on earth; that, be-
ing on earth, / must have to do with
citizenship, politics, trade, marriage
home, and the reform of this world
this is the somber fact that marks
the place where our friendship must
root itself Absolute truth to the
fact that as matters ideally ought to
be I am a soul able to climb up to
God: full of potencies which It will
take an eternity to unfold; that, be-
ing Heaven destined, have to do
with beauty, divinity. ideality-the at
mosphere of pure spirit--this Is the
luminous fact that MARKS the place
where our friendship must pierce the
soil of the limited and bounded to
rise unto its own fruitage in the linn
itless and the free.
II you will patiently look through
the histories of the great friendships
and carefully note the influence of
friends upon each other, you will
find that just that has been the un-

conscious effort of every sublime
friendship. You will find this other
fact that when the one friend sits
down to write about the other he will
like Emerson. whom l have quoted.
exaggerate what his friend really was
in the attempt which he unconscious
ly makes to paint the ideal friend.
The eXaggeration is the picture of
that ideal which his actual friend
these lines, our poet sadly said:
Friends, such as we desire, are
dreams and fables" Then our ideal
is loftier than the real. But is not
that as it should be? Would it be an
ideal at all
Antony was only another example
of those who, without knowing it,
have this dream" and talk of this
fable" of the soul. HE was my
friend, faithful and just to me-"
Rightly looked at, the history OF
the human heart as it is seen in
friendship. is as instructive concern
ing a coming Messiah as are the
chapters of Isaiah. Every true friend
ship so carries with it prophecy OF
the Christ that not only along the
heights which the intellect OF man
has upraised do we mark the earliest
and latest travels of this mighty orb,
but we find that the earliest beam
of light from the coming Christ
touched the mountains which the
heart of the world upheaved called
friendship, as he rose in the souls
eastern sky. When at last he had
fully come, the feet of the morning
rested on these incarnate yearnings
of the heart of man. So, as he trav-
eled on, his glory struck new conti-
nents of life. by first shifting with
new effulgence the lofiest peaks of
human friendship, THAT mans life
might thus feel the circuit of that
sun.
So it was not only the intellect of
! mankind which rejoiced, nor yet the
| conscience alone. but 1t was the heart
also which made an era in the his
| tory of the souls loves when Jesus
came. and it said to itself: Here at
| last is one who can be true to what
! is in man and before him" Now may
I say, here is my Friend, faithful
and just to me-"

be an excellent time for Marshalltown
to take up the matter of the long pro-

that the Milwaukee officials might

of trackage.
It is q timely suggestion and one
which should be needed. Little is Sc
