LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Declines to Reply to W, AS Questions

Mr.. Editor: In your issue of De-
cember 10 appeared an article from the
pen Of w. A. of Danielson, Conn. Had
w. A. ever read Spaulding's Financial
History of the War, he would never
have asked such an easy question as
"WiIl Mr.. Vallette tell us how the peo-
pie should get this money!" I sug-
gest that he get a copy of this history
and learn from good authority. After
his first question of how the people
should get this money" the remainder
of his letter and questions would lead
one to think that w. A. had an idea
that Mr.. Vallette was natural-born
fool, or else he was trying to adver-
tise himself as one Just think of an
American citizen asking Should con-
gress or the government shovel out this
money to the people?" No, Mr.. VAL
lette will not reply to such idiotic rot,
But Mr.. Vallette is in the habit of
signing his name to all his correspon-
dence.

Q.-Hss Spiritism ever benefited the
members of the race of mankind in
any way? Is so, how? (Victim.)

members or the race OF nanktnQ III
any way7 Is so, how? (Victim.)
Answer-The value of Spiritism to
the world is summed up in the words
Of a well-known author as follows:
According to the theory of Spiritual
lists there are hundred times as
many disembodied spirits about US as
there are men in the flesh. Among
them are all the poets, authors, ora
tors musicians and inventors of past
ages. They know all they ever knew
when they were in the flesh, and have
been learning r great deal more since;
and with their added powers and ex-
tended experience they should be able
to do what mortals have never done
before. They have had free access to
the public mind and public press, with
no end of me ilums ready to receive
their communi cations, and thousands
and thousands of anxious inquirers
who have questioned them and earn
estly desired to obtain information
from them. They have talked and rap
ped, they have tipped and ratified, they
have fiddled and scrubbed, they have
materialized ind dematerialized, they
have entranced and exhibited: they
have told us many things which we
knew before; many things which we
do not yet; and many other things
which it was no matter whether we
knew OF not: but when we come to
real instruction, reliable information,
or profitable and valuable knowledge,
Spirituallsm is as barren as Sahara,
as empty as hollow gourd."

WHAT WE WASTE

written Specially for The Bulletin.)
''Wilful waste makes woeful want"
is a proverb familiar to all; and we
have always been told to Waste not,
want not: but still most of US go on
wasting our resources in many ways,
though we claim to be thrifty and pru
dent.
We complain of being overdriven
with work, and yet we waste our time
in many ways. For one thing we plan
unnecessary work, thus taking the
time which should be given to more
essential items. Why should seven
rows Of trimming be used when one
answers just as well? Why must
ruf1les and tucks be put on the child's
dress when it will be just as com
Portable and more quickly made with
cut? Why must elaborate embroidery
be used in decoration, where a simpler
fashion will do as well?
The same holds good in the kitchen.
I've heard fine cooks boast of beating
cake for a long time by the clock, of
spending hours In preparation of SAL
ad dressing, which must always be
stirred in the same direction OF dis
aster will certainly follow. Think of
all the time thus wasted in preparing
food when simpler diet is acAnowl-
edged to be much more healthful.
Why do we say of one, She's a
good cook" when we only mean that
she makes rich food to tempt the taste
of those who come to her table, even
though it be no kindness to them2
"A good cook should be the title
given to one who gives healthful food
to her family and satisfies their ap-
petites without spelling their diges-
44nr, II ~
their overloaded tables, spend less
time in the kitchen and more in the
open air. How much better it would
be for all concerned!
When a housekeeper is sensible
enough to turn the key on unnecessary
household work, and take time for q
walk every day, many of her neigh
| bors wonder how she can be OF tbs
street so much more than they.
notice she and her family are vel
and strong, and she finds too fol
much reading, and can talk intelli-
gently on the topics of the day, But
most Of US are so bound by habit anC
custom that we SHALL probably, keeI
| on wasting time and strength, rivet-
! ing our own chains, even while we
complain Of them.
| We waste material in much the samt
| way. 1t has often been said of thi,

would sustain many a family nov

are open handed. lavish buyers, fret

them to purchase thoughtfully W,

closely. In some ways this is an ad
vantage. When the wealthy spend thei
money in snowy display and sense
less novelties, the chances are tina
the money may come into the hands o
those who are able to use it prudentl.

THERE is MORE BEYOND.

On old Spanish coins may be seen

surrounding them, me plus ultra,

restoring physical vigor. Good results
come after the first dose. FROM your

take a tablespoonful before each meal
and at bedtime" II your druggist does
not have Toris compound in stock, he
will get 1t for you in a few hours from
his wholesale house. Don't be Influenced
TO take a patent medicine instead OF

We often write the old motto on ex-
periences in our lives that seem final.
1t may be either some loss sustained
or some goal reached that has the
effect of a damper on aspiration for
the future. Through good fortune or
through Ill. men reach the point where
they assume that there is nothing be-
You'd. They have come to the confines
Of their world.
Distressing loss often has that eff
feet. One loses his health or his mon
ey or his reputation and concludes
that there is nothing left for him in
Efe. He has reached the limits both
Of desire and Of duty. Any possible
beyond seems like a barren waste.
Personal sorrows are not infrequent-
~ pillars of Hercules beyond which the
yoyager on life's ocean will not ven
ture. The passing out of our circle,
for instance. of some personality that
has meant companionship and happi-
ness seems to put up the bars against
us. We see nothing ahead that is
pleasant or desirable. The Israelites
Of old. led captive across the desert,
felt that their national existence was
at an end. They hung their harps on
the willows and refused to sing the
songs of Zion in a strange land. Not
otherwise men and women everywhere,
in the presence of those tragedies OF
which life is full, feel that the music
buoyancy, and delight Of existence is
clean gone forever.
1t is useful at such times TO reflect
that the march of the years may still
bring us gifts that we have never sus-
pected could come our way. Column
bus. on his weary voyage. must often
have concluded that the old motto
was right after all, and that there was
nothing beyond the horizon, when one
day there swung out of the mist a
whole new hemisphere. Similarly peo-
pie often find delight in work and q
joy in companionship that almost sur
prise them after losses that have shat
tered life to its foundations. 1t is q
sane and right hope that. in the provi-
dence OF God, life should continue to be

This textbook gives in proper rela-

ment of physical geography, together
with logical and well organized pres

for further study. In this section
preference is given to those features

view is reversed, and the outlines of
household management practiced by
