The Power Of Smell.

II, when you went to school as a
child. you carried tin lunch bog
which often contained. let US say.
some gingerbread and sandwiches and
perhaps an apple, 1t is worth while to
take sniff at such box again now.
1t is surprising how this simple expert.
ment may recall the patter of long
forgotten feet and the memory of
childish voices that startle over the
long lapse Of years. These flashes Of
memory aided by smell are wonderful.
Through smell we achieve a sense of
the past; the secret members of the
mind are aroused to life and memory.
What pity that we waste this talent.

TIE POSTOFFlCE.

the parcel post will be increased All
Of this is in the hands of the people,
and whatever they decree as to this
great agency for their convenience will
be put into effect.
The postal service is the peoples
messenger. 1t carries their tidings each

BACKBONE.

Inere are times In the life OF every
man and woman when he or she must
eight for the right
The occasion comes to all when we
must stand up and be counted ON one
side or the other.
1t may not always seem convenient
to do this. may not appear good policy.
Yet in the long run it Is the only
course that wins.
All of US in our hearts know what Is
right and instinctvely love the man
who stands for it The world is full
Of eyes. ears and tongue, and sooner
or later what we do will be known.
1t will count in the worlds opinion
of u.s.
And sooner or later the man or wo-
man who is right is going to be the
victor. The man who says the con-
trary has not looked far enough.
He is either pessimist or sophist,
or both.
1t is shortsighted policy that fails
to reckon with the workings Of the
moral law.
In all the universe there is no law
that works truer or more certainly.
The chief quality required to keep US
loyal to this law is backbone.
Not only does God hate a coward.
but a coward hates himself.

It is not enough to know the truth.
We must also live the truth.

There is great deal Of weak and
