FOR GALL STONES

YIN NALL ~ SANSS
Nature often has a remedy for
diseases if people but knew, One
of the simplest and most harmless
cures of gall stones is olive oil. It
has been tried many times sue
cessfuIly. Take one tablespoon
four times a day. In short time
the oil softens the parts so that
the stones will pass away.
There is another excellent
method which is a real nature
remedy. This merely consists of.
the habit of eating carrots freely
and drinking the water in which
they are cooked at intervals
throughout the day.
In one case where this plan was
followed the gall stones were dis

A POETIC VISION

Robert G.. Ingersoll: A vision Of the
future rises:
I see our country filled with hap
py homes, with fresides of content
the foremost of all the earth.
I see world where thrones have
crumbled and where kings are dust
The aristocracy Of idleness has per-
ished from the earth.
I see a world without a slave. Man
at last is free. Natures forces have
and light, wind and wave, frost and
fame, and all the secret, subtle pow
ers of earth and air are the tireless
toilers for the human race.
I see a world at peace, adorned
with every form of art, with music g
myriad voices thrilled, while lips are
rich with words of love and truth
a world in which no excile sighs, no
prisoner mourns; world on which
the gibbet g shadow does not fall; a
world where labor reaps it's full re-
ward; where work and worth go
hand in hand; where the poor girl
trying to win bread with the needle
the needle that has been called
|4the asp for the breast Of the poor''
dis not driven to: the desp perate
choice Of crime or death, of suicide or
shame. ..:
l see world without the beggar's
outstretched palm, the miser's heart
less, stony stare, the piteous vail of
want, the livid lips Of lies, the cruel
eyes of scorn.
I see a race without disease Of
flesh or brain-shapely and fair, the
married harmony of form and func-
'tion-and, as look, life lengthens,
Joy deepens, love canopies :: the
earth; and over all in the great
dome. shines the eternal star of hu-
man hope.
