FRUIT FOR HEALTH.

In all ages the eating of fruit has
been recognized as an aid to health.
Some of the more advanced dietic-
ians advocate the use of fruit and nuts
exclusively. The more reasonable
plan, however. seems to be to eat
plenty of fruit," and that is the way
DR.. Harvey w Wiley, the pure food
expert, puts it. He believes that every
one should eat some fruit, every day.
The nation seems to be following
this advice. ut will save Doctors
bills says DIR. Wiley. and who should
know better than he? But that Is a
fundamental fact which everyone
should know from experience. 1t Is
pretty safe to say that the more fruit
people eat. the better the health OF
the nation will be.
A noteworthy change incident to
ocean travel is happily hit off by
John T. McCutcheon in cartoon in

ser to secure good seats at the tables.

MANS IMPOTENCE.

MANS imFOl ENSE.
Man boasts: AT last feel my might;
Earth. sea and air tame;
Out of the dark called for light,
And out of dark light came;
And tides which swept from north and
south
Change at my stern command;
Lightning takes words from out my
mouth
And bears them DER the land.
with man-made wings fly in air:
King of the birds am I;
find the oceans depths and there
My monarch's scepter ply:
Birds, beasts and fish are mine to
sway;
My kingdom, all see;
lam the lord of nights and day.
And all must bow to me-
So man, But came sudden note
Which carried warning dire;
An unseen hand stayed mere mans
gloat
And shattered his desire;
The night! The sea! An iceberg grim!
And death! Upon the wall
The wordless messages sent from
Him

Joy for the sturdy trees.
Famed by each fragrant breeze,
Lovely they stand.
The song birds Ger them trill.
They shade each tinkling rill,
They crowd each swelling hill.
Lowly and grand.
Plant them by stream and way,
Plant them where the children play
And toilers rest,
In every verdant vale,
On every sunny swale,
Whether to grow or fail
God knoweth best.
Select the strong, the fair,
Plant them with earnest care
No toll is vain.
Plant In filter place,
Where like lovely face
Let In some sweeter grace,
Change may prove gain.
God will His blessing send
All things on him depend,
His loving care
C1ings to each leaf and flower
| Like ivy to Its tower.
His presence and His power
Are everywhere.

Only a Campaign.

Only Campaign.
Each lifts an Ananias club
And smites the nearest head.
The old-time wounds with Stat they
rub
And fill our souls with dread
The spear which brothers shall not
know
Ferociously they raise.
Man waits in ambush for foe
And fells him with phrase.
With friendships of the past forgot
They rally to the fray,
The Golden Rule is quite forgot
In this fierce game they play.
Yet hope survives that peace will reign
Despite these methods rude.
Cheer up! It's only 2 campaign.
Thank heaven it's not feud.

Memorial Day.

The services in cOmmemOratlOn OF
our Nations dead heroes and in honor
Of the veterans yet living were held in
the Presbyterian church last sunday
morning and were attended by very
large congregation.
The church was tastefully decorated
with draped flags, beautiful flowers
and plants and pictures of Washington
and Lincoln.
The old soldiers, numbering about
fourteen, marched to their seats in the
front attended by the body of Boy
Scouts dressed in uniform.
The sermon was delivered by Dr.
Hunter, pastor of this church, and was
"a very impressive, interesting address,
listened to by an appreciatiye congre-
CATION. The choir rendered approprl-
ate hymns and anthems, which added
much to the service.
Each year this day seems to bring
greater sOlemnity and sacredness, as
the nks fall away in numbers, and
the more impressive We can make our
memorial services, the greater the
honor to the living and dead heroes,
and also that the observance or the day
may go on and on, even though there
may be no old veterans to take part in
the occasion.
