NEW YEARS ALLEGORY
When the Arriving TweIvemonth Walked
the CITY Streets.

:" CROSS the snowbound earth
the New Year stepped buoy
antly. A splendid youth he
was, with radiant eyes, full,
red lips and the star of hope set so
proudly above his brows that where he
passed darkness turned to light For
a whole year the world and the men
thereon were his.
Far away under the frozen sky a
blaze of light shone like jewel, and
he turned toward the city.
And, though the lights shone boldly
when he entered it, most of the streets
were empty.
In one of the streets the New Year
met a woman. A dark veil fluttered
around her, so that he could not dis
tinguish her form, but her face was
very sweet as she bent and clasped a
child to her heart. The New Year gave
her greeting.
"You are Charity, KNOW" he said.
Charity laid her hand in his and
smiled. And for all his youth her
and golden sunshine, of vague, sweet
things that were still unknown to him.
And then he met another woman!
A glittering gas moth this, with a
pert. powdered face. carmined lips and
hard, bright eyes.
'All hail!' she cried mockingly. 81
shall be your constant companion, for
am Sin, and where men are there
you will always find me-"
The New Year shrank back. and his
face darkened. But Sin pressed close
to him, laughed loudly and. tearing a
rose from those at her breast, tossed
it to him, as with a rustic of silk she
passed on. The rose fell ON the snow
powdered walk, and when the New
Year would have picked it up it was
scentless, and he saw that worm was
hid in it's heart!
Another form came in sight-in the
garb of a monk with a dark hood

LIME CoMBATs TUBERCULOSIS

1T is difficult TO escape the conviction
that lime starvation and lime assimila-
ton are the real issues behind the masks
Of vu!nerability and resistance in tuber-
culosis," writes Ira Van Gieson. NJ D.,
in the May Il. 1912. issue of the New
York Medical Record
DR.. Van Gieson is eminent in his pro-
fession. and his assertion that lime as
similation Is the real issue in resist
ance to tuberculosis bears the stamp OF
authority.
Ordinarily lime is not easily assimilated
incidentally, but Eckman's Alternative is
one preparation containing it in such
form and combination as to insure assim-
ilation by the average person.
This is one reason for its success in
many cases of tuberculosis which appar-
emily have yielded to it and others which
have been benefited through its use.
Our experience-based faith in this
remedy is shared by large number Of
men and women, who say they owe
health, strength and life to it. It con-
tains no opiates, narcotics or habit
forming drugs, so is safe to try.
If your druggist is out of it, he can get
1t. or you can order direct from u.s.

SPECIALIST EXPLAINS CAUSE OF
STOMACH TROUBLE
Valuable Advice to Sufferers

There are many different forms Of
stomach trouble" said well-known spec
ialist recently. but practically all are
traceable TO excessive acidity and food
fermentation. That is why the results
obtained from the use of drugs are usual
ly SO disappoirt ting. Admitting fermenta-
ton and consequent acidity of the
food contents to be the underlying cause
Of most forms Of indigestion. it naturally
follows that the use OF reliable anti
acid, such as the pure bisurated mag
nesia, which is SO frequently pre-
scrbed by physicians. will produce better
results than any known drug or combi-
nation Of drugs Accordingly I almost
invariably advise those who complain Of
digestive trouble to get some bisurated
magnesta mote the name carefully, as
other forms are unsuitable for this pur-
pose). from their druggist, and take from
one to two teaspoonfuls Of the powder,
or two 5-grain compressed tablets, with
a little water after meals. This by imme-
diately neutralizing the acid and stop
ping the fermentation, removes the cause
of all the trouble and insures normal and
healthy digestion ADV.

One OF Augustus jewelers., while on
visit short time ago TO Newbury-
port. Mass, ran across a gentleman
who, while he is a present the presi-
dent of the largest sterling silver man
ufacturing concern in the United
States, was about So years ago a
travelling salesman in the employ of
the same concern, and in the course
Of their conversation it came out that
the only time that the latter had Wis
tied Augusta was. when he was "on
the road" n speaking of that trip,
which was made in the winter time, he
told the Augusta man that there were
three things in the city which made
a decided impression upon him and
which he Rad never forgotten. One
of them was the temperature on the
day Of his visit-0 degrees below zero.
which he saw ty one Of the Their
mometers along Water street, and an
other was the big open fireplace at
Hotel North, at which house he
stopped during his stay. All the
guests of the house were that evening
huddled around the fireplace and the
picture, he said. made an impression
on him that he never forgot. The third
thing which he remembered was when
the next morning he went out for a
walk and on crossing the Kennebec
bridge looked out Of one of the little
windows in that structure and saw a
lot Of men lined up on the edge Of the
ice and hauling out fish by means OF
poles with hooks at one end. His Gu
riosity was aroused to such an extent
by this spectacle that he left the
bridge and made his way down to the
ice. where upon inquiry of some of
the fishermen he was told that they
were catching "tommycods.'
