VOICE OF CONSCIENCE DEAD
All the Fault of Nurse That Small Cir
Could Not Walk in the
Straight Path.

Maria had been naughty and mother,
seriously demonstrating with her,
thought to press home a needed sug-
gestion.
Il can't think why you persist in
doing wrong, my DEAR she said, sol
EMMY. 1T always makes us unhappy
when we do wrong"
"But-but l often don't know it's
wrong till I've done it," sighed the
small culprit.
But" mother urged again, you
should know, my darling. Your con-
science will tell you if you listen
What is my conscience and how
will it tell me?" wide-eyed and eager.
Your conscience is the little voice
inside you that says MOI when you
shouldn't do things and makes you
feel sorry when you've made mis-
takes"
ooh, then I'll never be good"
mourned the troubled sinner. Il had
g voice like that once, but nurse said
it was indigestion and she gave me
some medicine and it died"

Some Headline.

At the time of the Volturno dis
aster literary critic for a certain
New York newspaper was acting as
substitute for a copy reader who was
i'll. 1t fell to him to write head for
the story of the disaster. The story
was full of thrills, of course, and he
was told to condense them all in a big
black line to extend across the page,
leading the paper.
He thought for some time, tore up
several attempts, and finally submitted
this: 20 Restless Seal"

Here, then, Is strange paradox,
but not the only paradox in a situation
full of anomalies-anomalie insepara-
BILE from the very nature and complex
ion Of the Austro-Hungarian empire,
an empire, to repeat, that has been
held together quite as much by the
jealousies and differences of outsiders
as by the dynastic and personal in
fiuence of the Hapsburgs.
If Austria cannot and does not rep
resent German interests and German
culture in this fight, what is it fighting
for? Pan-Servian agitation did not
endanger it's existence, while the war
does. It's own Slaw elements at no
time displayed an inclination to ex-

autonomy, and home rule, Cancellation

reform measures, political and social

walton.
The war actually endangers the ex
istence Of the dual monarchy, for aside
from the chances of defeat and disas-

jects of the emperor cannot sympa-
thize with it. The separatist and par

court and government can only be
deepened and strengthened by the con-

fratricidal strife.
No wonder the intelligent world Is
puzzled and utterly at loss to ex-
plain Austria's course.

raw material depends upon the manu-
facturer for market for his product
The manufacturer rs an individual Is
the more dependent because of the
fact that the factory must have the
producer OF raw material In order tC
exist The producer is more at liberty
to change his line than is the manu-
facturer. hence while there is close
interdependence between the producer
and the manufacturer, the former is
the more Independent, and it is there
fore expedient that the manufacturer
attempt in every way possible to as
sist him in producing the raw material
more intelligently and economically.
The above holds true of the rela-
tionship existing between the cream
cry and the dairy farmer. The cream.
cry is dependent on the farmer for its
existence, for the amount of raw ma
terial received, and consequently for
the economic production OF the fin

income from the dairy herd is very

increase the profit from q dairy herd

The Dawn of Christianity
 As Described in THE NEW TESTAMENT Translated from the Original Greek

z. Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled
 8. But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
 9. But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stum- blingblock to them that are weak,
 10. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idols temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
 Il. And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
 12. But when ye sinned so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
 13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, 1 will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest l make my brother to offend.
