If you are housewife you can
not reasonably hope to be healthy
or beautiful by washing dishes,
sweeping and doing housework all
day, and crawling into bed dead
tired at night. You must get out
into the open air and sunlight. If
you do this every day and keep
your stomach and bowels in good
order by taking Chamberlain's Tab
lets when needed, you should be-
come both healthy and beautiful.

The Wilderness with its fountains

without the carol of the birds. The

house without some kind Of music
Armies would be stripped of half

to when | was a child, in these
mountains; and | honestly believe
that one OF the ground-sill reasons

The ten days and nights of the
Bible Conference will witness some
of the grandest congregational sing
ing of the old time gospel hymns
that ever disturbed the stiffness of
these mountain solitudes. This
music, like the gospel which it glad
dens and glorifies, is without money
and without price. DR.. Ridley OF
Atlanta, writes me that Prof. Geo.

will lead the old-time gospel songs.
COME! Bring your gospel song
books with you.

GREAT CONGREGA-
TIONAL music AT
bibLE CONFERENCE MUST N0T
MISS IT

mlSS ii
Ihe man that hath no music in
himself,
Nor is not moved with concord Of
sweet sounds,
Is fit for treason. strata6em and
spoils,
The motions Of his spirit are du])
as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus;
Let no such man be trusted"
The dlvlnest gift of God to the
world is music. Art, poetry, oratory
Supernal though they be-. are not to
be compared to music. It not only
hath its charms to sooth the saw
age breast" but to thrill the being
OF beasts and birds.
Horses have been known to
eVlnce profound appreciation OF
maru3t~1nusic; the dog will howl
ana bark at the charming notes Of
the piano, and even pigs have been
seen to roll on the ground at the
thrilling rattle Of the drum.
Music must have been the Crea-
tors gracious after thought, to please
the ear and cheer the soul of ami
nate nature.
Music belongs to another world
and a happier.
Not demons but angels sing.
The devil, in music, is plaguarist
and a paraphaser. He never wrote
a line OF poetry or set one to music
but he has trailed many a beautiful
tune@in the mire and has ruined
the fair name of many a fine in
strument.
Hating the concord of sweet
sounds, as hehates everything that
is beautiful and true, the Old Bow
has tried his level best to appropri-
ate this beautiful thing, called mus
ic, as sort of emmigrant solicitor
for his own dominions. And the
Christian religion is the only eartl,-
ly agent by which this WHY prosti-
tuition can be defeated or even
frustrated.
Sacred music cannot be redeemed
by "rag-tlme"
The sable gentleman sporting the
grusome horns and the grusomer
tail has presided over rag time"
and two-step" performances so
long that he is relieved. of patent
rights obligation.
And the only method by which
sacred music may be recovered to
he world is by the reinstatement
of the gospel hymns and tunes of
the fathers. The recalling from the
spirit world, as it were, the evan
gelical hymns of men like the Wes-
leys, Watts, Richard Baxter, Top
lady, John Newton, and many 9TH
ers, and set to the original tunes all
of which were divinely inspired and
not one of which was ever meant
to be revised by some worldly mus
ical novitiate.

One Is Less Prone to Believe Dscred-

SiVered the Hair.

Don't believe everything you hear"
Did you ever reflect how much more
that saying appeals to you as you get
on in years and accumulate expert
ence? When you were young you
might mention the name of a friend
That fellow?" a companion would ex-
claim, why he's jackass and crook
combined Don't trust him" Very like
ly he would go on to give you in detail
an instance of some crooked deal in
which your friend was involved
He would be so obviously sincere
about it all that lie would make an i'm
preston on you, remarks the Kansas
City Star Shocked, you would begin
to revise your estimate of your friend
and regard him with suspicion Later
you might happen to stumble on TO the
fact that the detailed story so discred-
liable to him was false Eventually
you would be assured that the preju-
dlces of your companion who gave you
the warning had run away with him
and that your friend was all right.
AS person grows older he learns
that most persons are constitutionally
inaccurate, that they will relate the

PLUTARCH ON THE SLIT SKIRT
Garment Is Described as Being in
Vogue in Times of Lycurgus
the Law Oliver.

We must reread Plutarch. We must
reread some Of the other so-called
classics-and not for antiquity's sake,
either. Thomas Owen of Topeka in
forms us that we are centuries out in
saying the slit skirt is only 1900 years
old. Speaking of Lycurgus the Law
giver and his times, PlutaCh relates
$50 writes Mr.. Owen:
The skirts of the habit which the
virgins wore were not sewed to the
bottom, but opened at the sides as they
walked, and discovered the thigh, as
Sophocles very plainly write:
Still in the light dress struts Her
mione,
Whose opening folds display the naked
thigh "
This passage of Plutarch is well
worth looking up for more than details
of cOstume-S00 or 600 years before
the Christian era, says a writer in Col
liers Weekly. You may read there of
the complaint made that women in
those times were too bold. too maScu-
line, to prone to make themselves mis-
tresses of the houses they inhabited );
and even they wanted a share in the
affairs of state" Aristophanes satir-
lied feminism in comedy that is
now % centuries old-and still acted I.
If you have time to do only timely
reading. you would better cut out the
periodicals and read the Greeks. To
them we owe (wrote Wilde) whatever
is modern in our life"-including the
slit skirt.
