TOiIing On

We are evermore forgetting
that our stay on earth is brief,
and we waste the time in fret
ting, hunting for all kinds of
grief, making moan about the
weather, magnifyiug every i'll,
as we toll along together to the
boneyard on the hill, All our
little eriefs and worries will for
sake us in a day; every dark af-
Fiction hurries, anxious to be on
its way, but we lasso it and
teth er every trouble we can nail
as we toll along together to the
b"neyard in the vale. Life
should be a cheerful ramble
but we make it full of woes, and
we howl about the bramble till
we overlook the rose. We lg
more the scented heather look

toll along together to the bone
yard by the dump. There's so
much to make US joyful there's
so much that's good and bright
There's so little to annoy us if
our hearts were only right! Why
bawl forth from lungs of leather
protests fierce, when all is well,
as we toll along together to the
boneyard in the dell?
Then go to Crandall Bros. to
buy your Groceries and Meats
and lite will be worth living.
We have so many good things
to eat and everything fresh and
clean.

CHRISTIAN UNITY PROGRESSES

that Christian good will and unity il forging

Russia and the Pro-
hibitiOn of Vodka.

There has indeed been a revolu-
tion in Russia: you can see 1t In
the peoples faces" The verdict
was that OF the man whom the Rus
sian nation wished to have as their
minister OF munitions. writes Prof.
J. Y. Simpson, In The British
Weekly" Nor is il an isolated
judgment, he continues.
Every aspect OF our village life
has been changed" said the leader
Of one OF the most important par
ties In the Duma to me. ~Latterly
the old men did not come to the
village assemblies, because they
were continually submitted to in
suit by the younger men when half
drunken. Now they listen to the
older men, so that the latter say.
We have again become fathers. for
the young men respect US. The
women are enthusiastic; no longer
are they insulted or beaten They
receive their husbands wages now.
In the villages close to the towns
the women used to meet their hus-
bands at the entrance to the vii
lage on Saturday in order to get
the remainder Of their wages be-
fore they had spent them all in
drink. Now they remain quietly at
home. II Is the children who go
to meet their fathers, sure that they
have brought some little gif: for
them.
The whole life of the village
communities has been transformed.
The chief Of police in district In
the government Of Moscow said TO
a friend OF mine a1e other day. The
conditions of my service will have
to be altered; have had nothing to
do for two months Or. In the more
definite. but not less determined
words OF one OF their most distin-
guished professors OF economies
What I have seen compels me TO
ask for absolute restriction--i. e..
Of beer, as well as Of vodka. n we
can arrange that for 20 or % years
the population will not have the op-
portunity to drink, then the CUES

The Economic
Benefits of War

In his article will prosperity or
poverty follow the war;" in tho No
vember Worlds Work. Theodore H.
Price thus discusses some OF the
economic effects OF the great war
and of wars generally.
In France, England. and Ger
many the war has already put most
idlers at work and made men will
ing to labor longer and more EN-
ciently, and the fact that war al
ways has this effect probably ex-
plains the paradox OF the prosper
ity by which 1t is nearly always
followed
1T comes to this: The increase
OF wealth is in proportion to the
intensity and efficiency Of human
industry. for which war Is the
greatest stimulus thus far known.
War Is, In fact, stimulating 70
mankind both physically and men
tally.
ut not only makes men willing
to labor longer hours but 1t leads
them to devise ways Of making
their labor more efficient
with every great war there is
an increase in the use and inven-
ton OF labor-saving machinery.
I'm Europe. the era of railroad
building that succeeded the Napole-
onic wars increased the worlds
wealth by many times the sum the
wars had cost. In our own country.
industrial coordination and the use
OF automatic machinery was 50
rapidly extended after the war Of

You Can't Stand Still
~ n. ADDiN0TON BRUCE,
Author OF The Riddle Of Personality"
Psychology and Parenthood." etc.

There Is an ancient Latin proverb which says
He who advances not, recedes." There are few
proverbs which you ana I and everybody else
could more advantageously take to heart
Life itself Is essentially motion. a movement
forward or q movement back. All things. as
many philosophers have reminded US. are in a
constant state of nux. or cnange Inertia, abso
lutte cessation of movement. Is synonymous with
death.
In the natural course OF events there comes
time In the lives Of all Of NJ when a backward
movement sets In. physiologically and mentally.
The organs Of the body function less smoothly
and effectively. Our minds work less vigorously
and clearly.
Not few observers believe that this retro
grade motion inevitably starts with middle life.
Some have even fred arbitrarily the age Of forty
~ the time when men always begin to go
back"
But the facts of modern scientific research DO
NOT BEAR OUT THIS DEPRESSING VIEW.
They suggest rather. that. unless accident or
I'll long past forty the svfl day Of retrogression.
They also suggest that - the chief means to
this desirable end. nothing 10 Of greater import
LIFE. AND THE MAINTAINING OF AN OPEN.
EAGER, NQUIRING ATTITUDE OF MIND.
The temperate lke-which avoidance Of emo
tional excuses In the way Of anger. fear. worry.
observes to keep the physical processes in
good running order.
The maintaining Of an inquiring attitude
means q persistent learning Of new facts. and
the learning Of new facts insures mental growth.
In fact. the moment q man ceases TO add to his
stock Of knowledge that moment he has begun
to recede mentally. whether he be forty years
old, or twenty. or sixty.
Whereas II he refuses to be content with
what he already Knows. II daily he strives to
gain fresh knowledge. through books and through
contact with other men, he will advance men
tally long after he would ordinarily begin to
lose ground.
This undoubtedly accounts-in large part at
al events-for the physical and mental powers
exhibited in old age by such men as Gladstone
and virchow.
They led temperate lives. and they went
through life with inquirng minds. They never
felt that the time had come when they could af.
ford to stop learning. And they were INTENSE
lLY INTERESTED in learning.
You. too, must be intensely interested In learn
Ing IL. like them, you would save yourself from
mental retrogression. Never for an instant let
yourself feel that you know enough, that you
have achieved enough, and that you rest on
your laurels.
| That time never comes for you or any one
| else. The old Latin proverb holds universally
and inexorably true. HE WHO ADVANCES
