MT. Editor: I have read with deep interest of late the various letters to the Editor of The Bulletin especially those of MT. Cary in defense of Pres ident Walker and The Thermos Co. why he felt called upon to take up this work. I am not in a position to state, but as long as he is in the lime light and happens to be quite willing to defand MT. Walker and the Ther- mos Co. in general perhaps he will be willing to state in his usual broadE minded way how much truth there is in the rumor that MT. Walker and his associates are planning at the first favorable opportunity to unload their holdings in the Thermos CO: also how much truth there is in the stories being told on the street by girls em- ployed at the Thermos annex con- corning the profane and vile way the men in charge there abuse these same girls when their work is not LID to standard. If there is any truth in these rumors the plain people whom Lincoln loved so well ought to be made acquainted with the facts. I am not so much interested in the price of gas as I am in trying to find out first what sort of "a broadminded lot of men" are back of this latest indus trial acquisition to The Rose of New England
 The ambulance proposition may be all well enough, but l can't say that am in favor of taxing the masses to support the classes.

 There is tonic for many a discourag ged one in the records of those who have won out against odds.

Popular belief in the ne cessity of possessing money, tools train = ing, Influence. friends. health even, is shaken when we see those who have forged to the front without any of these advantages.
 The thought of the historian Pres cott left with but partial sight in one eye completing his monumental works: of Beethoven. victim after his 10th year of complete and painful deafness. com- posing his glorios symphonies; of Stevenson, propped. up in bed between paroxysiTns of coughing. giving to the world his books of sky-blue optimism and bubbling humor should serve as a corrective to our complaining moods. Those of us who still enjoy TO- bust health and unimpaired faculties are quite put to shame as we contem- plate the slender resources with which these great souls did their work.

We all have foods we prefer. and it isn't natural to eat foods we do not like to improve our health. Food should be taken for nourishfnent not for medi- cine; but it should be taken in moder- ate amounts, and be thoroughly mas sti- cated.

Get little bisurated mag nesia from your chemist, eat what you want at your next meal, take a half teaspoon of the bisurated ,magnesia in hot cold water. and see if I'm not right" But the person who lives right and eats right will have no acid in his stomach to neutralize.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
TOOLS AND THE MAN.

The limitations of life press sorely enough on most of us. There are many things in our surroundings we could wish different. Ameasure of discomfort is a wides bread human mood. In view of their varied disabilities not many are inclined to mistake this world for Utopia. Count on your fingers your ac- quaintances who are fulfilling their ca reers under absolute ideal conditions and it is probable that you will not require both hands.
 But in attempting to count those who expect ideal conditions one has need of more fingers than he and all his fam fly circle are possessed of the count will begin to take the proportions of a cen- sus. For the world is full of those who, because conditions are hard, or equip ment is lacking are resigning them selves to sullen defeat.

If variety is the spice of life, some real good men are praying in vain. If variety is not necessary then the Creator made a fearful mistake when he prepared the way for it. You have listened to the description of some per sons idea of a heavenly abode. and you have had to hush up your inner consciousness lest it should make you say aloud in words: that would be no heaven for me- We mortals have way of letting every other mortal lay out his own heaven, but we sincerely feel willing God should prepare a heav- en for us. It would not be heavenly to listen forever to the white-robed saints playing upon harp of thous- and strings "the Spirit of Just Men made Perfect" That would only be agreeable for just one number on the programne=we are not constituted to to do one thing or to listen to one thing in joy eternal1x- Whyi God has winds to howl and the sea to roar just to break the nonotony of life.
