WHY MIR. CARNEGIE WILL DIE
RICH.
est. Louis Globe-Democrat.)

est Louis Globe-Democrat.)
We are all slaves Of words, and
the worst tyrant among words has
always been the mOnOsyllable
poor" in imposing itself as appel
lative of persons without large
wealth When Mr.. Carnegie some
years ago declared his purpose TO
die poor" and began the giving
away of his vast fortune, the world
understood him as promising that,
of the several million dollars he then
possessed, very little would be left
for his heirs. Undoubtedly that was
Mr.. Carnegie's meaning, since he,
no more than any of us. can escape
the tyranny of words, and must have
had in his mind the conviction that
he could only die poor" by divest-
ing himself of the great pile Of
riches he had accumulated.
But Mr.. Carnegie will die rich. We
can say this now with positiveness
since DR.. Pritchett, at the Carnegie
birthday party at Pittsburgh a few
days ago announced that only a
small part of the $3.50. 100000 Mr..
Carnegie began giving away at that
time is now left, and the later au-
thoritative announcement that the
/ balance on hand is only $50, 600, 900,
very nearly all of which is. in his
will, given 10 charities, leaving 10
/ his family only the means of a COM
/ Portable maintenance What we can
now see clearly is that the multimil-
/ liOnaire was in earnest in saying
| the words which have provoked so
much of feeble effort at wit, and so
much of ill-bred and sneering com
/ ment. What is not less clear is
that. while Mr. Carnegie will die as
| he wished. he will not die poor but
/ rich.
We revolt against the tyranny OF
a word which would make US say
/ that a man with a greatness of soul
making him capable of the fine thing
of giving away $35O,0OO.0OO will be
a poor man when he parts with all
of his estate save what is necessary
10 keep on fulfilling that part OF
| scripture saying that he who pro-
videth not for his own household is
| worse than the heather. He Will be
infinitely richer. in everything con-
stituting genuine wealth. than that
he held fast 10 that overgorged
purse. Mr.. Carnegie could and
/ would have died poor had he died
leaving $3.50. 100000 behind him. He
would have died poor leaving $780,
OOO.OOO or only $5O.OO0,OOO But
now we see that he has saved him
self from dying poor. and when he
dies though ne has not a penny left
he Will die rich.

PLEADS FOR PEACE.

Editor News-Times:
The heavenly hosts said in praises:
GLORY TO God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men"
Blessed are the peacemakers: for
they shall be called the children of
God"
For the past two thousand years
there has not been a teacher like
Jesus: no man spake like He. No
sermon has been preached like the
sermon on the mount" preached by
Jesus. And in this sermon He did
not speak in defense of prepared
ness of war and strife; He taught
the multtudes meekness, mercy,
pureness Of hearts, righteousness and
peace! Be peaceful and encourage
peace.
If we, as citizens, would spend as
much money in preparing our boys
to be Christian citizens as We do in
training them TO be "devilish sol
diers"; if we would invest the
amounts that we spend for navies
and other equipments for war in pro-
noting peace we would have more
need of pillow shares and pruning
hooks We would have men, real
men, marching to the tune Of Peace
on EARTH Instead OF dead soldiers
we would have live Christians; in
stead of widows and orphans, we
would have united families; instead
af hox-iVor oh 4
have useful, peaceful citizens; in
stead Of having an uproar and a con-
tinual cry for war or preparedness,
we would have a demand for peace
we would have peace!
We should be living in an age of
civilization and enlightenment; we
should be living in an age when men
cate peace. Bryan. Ford and others
who are advocating peace will go
down on the pages Of history as great
private citizens and their names and
deeds will be indelibly written in the
hearts of all true lovers of Chris
tianity and peace.

Do You Read Labels?

DOMESTIC science teachers and
food authorities are urging the
housewife to carefully read the
labels on all food articles.
The laws Of most States compel
food manufacturers TO print the
ingredi ents OF their products
on the label, and this enables
consumers to distinguish health
full foods from those which may be-
de1eterious.
High-grade baking powders are
made Of pure cream Of tartar,
derived from grapes. Royal Bak-
ing Powder is a type of the highest
grade. It is healthfu1 beyond a
doubt and the safest and best
to use.
The 1ow-grade baking powders
are made from alum, a mineral
acid salt, or phosphate Of lime.
Consumers can learn the char
acter Of the baking powder by
referring to the label, which
must state whether the contents
include cream Of tartar, alum or
phosphate.
