Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel
fine and cheerful; make your work a
pleasure; be vigorous and full of
ambition. But take no nasty, dan
gerous calomel because it makes you
sick and you may lose a days work.
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking it up. That's
when you feel that awful nausea and
cramping.
Listen to me! If you want to en-
joy the incest, gentlest liver and

We Can't Expect Bleed
ing Hearts to Feel Joy
at This Season.

We cannot expect hearts that
are bleeding with recent wounds
to feel any Joy in this season.
But we can urge those who
mourn for the dead to remember
the living and cover the bleeding
wound, when possible, from sight.
A mother who has lost one child
need not shadow the holiday sea-
son for those remaining. who are
too young to feel sorrow so deep
ly, by darkening the home and
refusing to think or talk of any
thing but the departed dear one.
Let her ask herself II that dear
one would want her loss deplored
in such a manner?
Would she be happy in her
spirit-realm, among the angelic
hosts, If she knew her earth home
was shrouded in darkness, and
that all those she loved on earth
were turning their eyes away from
the light and thinking only Of the
grave?
Other sorrows besides death
show their faces to the eyes OF
the soul at this season.
Old Ambitions, old Friendships,
old Loves, old Dreams, that have
been too fragile to stand the wear
and tear OF the years, come forth
from the grave Of the past and

BIRDS.

S. NJ. A.-The first birds" were
not much like those of the pres
ent time. The "pterodactyl,"
supposed to be the pioneer of
bird life, was u great feather
winged monster, with great
spears on the hinges of the wings
and a mouth full of sharklike
teeth. The pterodactyl did not
sing, and could we have seen
him we would not have felt like
singing ourselves. True birds
and especially the warblers, are
very late in geologic time. There
was no bird melody in the car
boniferous jungles. The singers
in all probability, did not greatly
antedate the human race.

But | was quite clear that I had

They certainly we're not begging.
Was there reason?
In view of the problem OF the
unemployed which is upon us
there may be at least a passing
interest in setting down some of
the results OF an investigation
which these reflections led me TO
make.

gin when they like and leave off
when they are ready. Tea and
tobacco, games and papers are
for all And-it is a wine growing
country-once at least in the
day there is for each person a
glass of vim ordinaire.
What with the "Workhouse"
and the odd Folks Refuge"
Berne placed herself in the way
of limiting to Europe the plan of
a differential treatment of the
worthy and the worthless whom
poverty throws upon the charity
of city.
To another Swiss city, to
Zurich, belongs the honor of
having set TO the world many
years ago an example of high
consideration for the children of
the state" Zurich has realized
the responsibility of the COM
munity for these helpless lives.
Children are never sent to the
workhouse. The boarding out
system is universal.
The primary school is not CON
sidered sufficient. Children are
sent to the secondary schools
as well. A technical or COM
mercial education is given them
in order that they may never
need to claim public support in
after life.
Orphans are received in the
municipal orphanage by a com
mittee OF the City Council. And
it is alleged that the whole idea
of the orphanage is to bring up
the children not as paupers nor
as the recipients of charity, but
"as children of the Swiss middle
class"
And again politico- economic
reasons are alleged for this large
benefiCence; it pays the city and
the state TO lose money in build
ing men.
Switzerland has no coasts to
defend, and therefore no navy.
She has no spirited foreign policy,
and therefore no huge standing
army. She has no colonies, and
therefore her eyes are not in the
end of the earth. She has her
own problems of poverty and of
vice. But she knows how to
honor old age and she cares for
the children.

CREOLES.

F. NJ. R.-Disabuse your mind
at once of the idea that "Creoles"
are crosses between whites and
negroes, Indians or some other
non white breed Creole is a
term originally used to designate
an inhabitant of the Spanish col
onies who was descended from
the European settlers, as distin-
guished from the aborigines, the
negroes and mulattoes. The same
thing applies to the French Gre
oles." The French Creole is the
descendant of the original French
settlers in this country, and is in
no sense a negro. Indian or other
nom Caucasian person.

he will not learn, he is kept at
unskilled toll.
With its powers Of compulsory
detention, Berne has been able to
remove from the streets both men
and women who had become a
pest to society and danger to
themselves, and with these pro-
ductive farms and factories has
been able to make them con-
tribute largely to their own
maintenance. Good behavior Sc
cures holidays on Sundays and
on some other days, when the in
mates go out in ordinary clothes
and without supervision And
the system has been found to
work so we'll that "paupers" from
outside have been sent to Berne
and paid for by their own par
ishes.
But the city of Berne has
known how to deal with its de-
serving poor no less efficiently.
In the whole round of the prob
lens of poverty none is more
pressing than the necessity of
distinguishing between the lazy
vagabond, who has never worked
when he could steal and who at
last comes upon the taxes, ana
the storm beaten old man. who
has served his country more use
fully with his trowel. his pickax
or spade than the soldier with his
sword, and who, after a life of
hardship, of honesty, OF toll, can
no longer keep body and soul to-
gether,
The old Peoples Refuge in
Berne is a model of comfort for
the deserving poor. 1t began as
n charity, and the original endow-
ment lessons the cost to the
taxes. But municipal enterprise
has enlarged the scope of its op-
erations.
Work is entirely optional-that
seemed to me the most curious
thing about the place. If the old
men choose to potter about in the
garden and persuade themselves
that they are still of use in the
land OF the living, or exercise
themselves in chopping wood, or
fiddle about with carpenters
tools. facilities are there. and
they can still do a little sewing,
or generally make themselves
useful in the house. they can be-

X SPIRIT OF SONG .
BY Lillian LAuFERTY.

~ EAR voice that 10 thrill my heart.
i Murmuring gay or mournful song;

And none too long
But when you go from out my heart,
Though joys may come in happy throng,
Somehow my eyes are blind TO light.
And right seems wrong
Spirit of Song-stay in my heart!
Let my ears hear your happy voice;
For when you sing the dark seems bright
And ] rejoice.
