CHILDREN AND THEIR NAMES.


Woodrow Wilson babies are al
ready in evidence. A contemporary
suggests that it is an outrage to give
children names which they will be
expected, but will almost certainly
fail, to live up to. Enforcing its argu-
ment with illustration. the contem-
porary asks: What, for instance,
must not the street hawker suffer
burdened with a name like William
Taft Jones, or the woodchopper chris
tened Woodrow Wilson Smith p
The contemporary exaggerates the
hardship. 1t fails to apprehend the
easy manner in which people uncon-
sciously adjust name to the exigen-
cies Of its possessor. No one, for ex-
ample, necessarily expects Miss Ruby
White to be either gem or eau
casian, much less would anyone pre-
dict for simpering, suffering, hollow
chested William Bryan Green the
career Of an orator.
Besides, the possessor of famous
name may always take refuge behind
the American privilege of diminn,
tives, and let himself be known sim
ply as Bill Jones or Wood Smith,
without anyone being the wiser

ST. PArRlck,s DAY.

It's going to be St Patricks day IL,
the morning and every true Irishman
feels better In his hear on that ac-
count An exchange has this to say
Of the day:
1t is his own day. dedicated to his
own pleasure, and he deserves it. No
country and nc race has so strong a
hold upon day of celebration as
have the Irish. Your Irishman may
be entirely alone in the middle Of a
trackless plain, but this morning he
in some way toasts the day of his
patron saint and the day devoted to
the green, little isle. He may be bus
lily engaged in the populous city, bur,
he will find an hour or two to parade
and celebrate the occasion. He may
be worried near to death with cares.
but he will cast them off while he
pins a shamrock leaf to the lapel OF
his coat
The reasons for this lie in the Irish
character, of course. Your true Irish
man has a heart much larger than his
head. That big hear. may pump the
hot blood to his brain and he will
fight like hero and die like saint
for the liberties of his countrymen.
when another man would have held
his hand in check with his cool brain
and escaped the wrath of government.
That big heart may open its portals
to a friendship and take in a friend
and from that moment every vein full
Of irish blood is warmed by hat
friendship and every nerve is controll-
ed by the interest of that friend Your
true Irishman has the poetic tempera-
ment that has sent lis some Of the
greatest orators Of the world and
some Of the sweetest singers in verse
that the language knows.
This combination OF big heart. rich
sentiment and fidelity to ideals all
combine today in homage to ST, Pat
rick The good old saint drove all
the snakes out of Ireland the re.
union of good old Irish spirit each
year on this day does much to drive
out from the Irish race any lurking,
concealed. poisonous virus Of fault
and to keep the Irish the lovable fel-
lows that they are

ASSOCIATION OF EGGS WITH
FASTER

Few people know that the associa-
ton Of eggs with the Easter season,
like many other customs among chris
tians, is of pagan origin. and began
far back in the mists OF antiquity,
when superstitution ruled.
Between two and three thousand
years ago, the Egyptians regarded the
egg as the emblem OF recreation, or
of the renovation of the human race
after the deluge. This idea original
ed with them from studying The f1ap-
Its of the scarab, or sacred beetle.
which buried It's ball in the grave.
dug for itself. Not knowing that the
ball contained an egg, when the
young beetle was ha.cned, supposins
it to be the one they saw disappear
In the earth, they concluded that it
had again returned to life. Thus
arose the hope of resurrection of their
mummified bodies. and when they
later found that the burial ball con.
tanned an egg, the egg became a sym,
boil of resurrection.
Int duCIcHL. f16TSldHS ndu q l0RenQ
that the universe was Matched from
an egg at the time of the vernal equ.-
nox, and among the Persian Magi, or
priests, the egg represented re-crea>
ton. In accordance with this tradi-
ton, the Persian New Year began at
the vernal equinox, at which time t
was the custom for the people to pre-,
sent each other with eggs tinted red,
yellow, or sky-blue.
In Germany, the Easter egg plays
a part in a story told children to the
effect that. if they are good, white
hare will creep into the house on
Easter eve and hide a number of beau
tiful eggs for them in odd places
The familiar sight in American win
dows OF rabbits wheeling loads OF
eggs originated in the German myth,
the rabbit replacing the hare be-
cause of the scarcity of the latter In
this country.
Some christians of the present
time, knowing nothing of early tradi-
tions, suppose that the use of eggs at
Easter originated with the early Cath.

Glorious Iowa.

Reports to the auditor OF
state show that Iowa's 739
savings and s27 state banks on
February Z last held deposits aggre-
eating s3O0.292,s16 The thirty-three
national banks had deposits OF SILL
T5S.000 and the private banks about
S15,000,000. Deposits Of state and
savings banks show an increase OF
s34, 100000 in one year, says the Du-
tuque Telegraph Herald.
Some duplication Is involved in this
showing. A deposit made with a
country bank and transferred to an
other bank within the state ia counted
twice. Besides deposits to a consid-
cradle extent represent bills receiv-
able or loans But, making due al
lowance for all this, the showing is a
splendid one for Iowa. 1t indicates
heyond question that her agricultural
population is more prosperous than
ever before in the history of the
state. The growth in deposits the
past year is rs per cent Of the total
deposits shown by the state and saw
ings banks fifty years after Iowa's
admission into the union. In the val
ue of the annual products of her
farms, s63 100000, the sHawKeye state
exceeds all others except Texas, which
has an area of 265,oO0 miles against
50 900 for Iowa.
The prosperity of our state is due
to three things: the character of our
citizens, their security in personal
property under the laws Of the gen
cral and local governments, and the
qualities of our soil and climate. And
this prosperity is as stable as the
causes which produce It,
You can't beat Iowa, go where you

the past decade is itself product OF
her prosperity, which has made her
land SO valuable that the adventurous

gone west in search of cheaper lands.
There is only one objection to the
states agricultural prosperity. 1t is
SO big that it overshadcws Industrial
progress in the cities of Iowa How
many even among the manufacturers
of this state realize that Iowa the past
decade had greater ratio of indus

food, expressed their JOY by decora,
ing the eggs. The truth is, tina. when
the early christians began to observe
the resurrection of Christ, they pre-
served the old association of eggs
with the equinoctial season and he
idea of resurrection. At FIRST the
only color used was red, signifying
the blood shed by Christ, but, by de.
grees, this idea was lost, many col
ors Were used, and, in time, the con
nection between Easter eggs and the
resurrection was forgotten.

 (. BEEN F. SPRUILL."
 It Is now well recognized that the treatments ordinarily given for this disease. based on powerful minerals, are very harmful to the system. They have a tendency to deaden the nerve and muscular tissue, especially the former. The result is apt to show up in later years in the form of paralysis locomotor ataxia, rheumatism, etc. Even blindness sometimes results. This may not occur for many years, but in all cases where these drugs have been taken, the danger always exists. These afflictions, as well as others long considered as after effects of the disease. are now admitted to re- suit not from the disease itself, but from these drugs.
 Then why take these drugs when l Alkano is even more certain of curing the disease than they, and never has any evil after effects. but always leaves the system thoroushly cleansed and restored. >,
