WILLING TO SUFFER AGAIN
Old Woman's Prayers Were Not Ex'
actIy the Result of a Feeling
Of Gratitude.

A lady had a friend who called to
see her one day, accompanied by her
poodle. On the way they met an old
beggar woman, whose appearance so
annoyed the dog that it promptly bit
the mendicant, whose bowls and Ia
mentations terrified the kind-hearted
lady. Here, my poor woman, here S
ten shillings for you," she said, nerv-
ously rendering the coin.
The old woman grabbed it. and then
fell on her knees in the middle of the
road and started praying for all she
was worth, regardless of mud or mo-
tors.
And people say the lower orders
are irreligious and ungrateful," solilo-
quized her ladyship, who was quite
touched by the exhibition.
at last the applications became
more and more vehement, and curios-
ity prompted the donor to inquire
what special blessings were being in
voked. What are you praying for?'
said she.
The old vagrant stopped and looked
at her sympathetic inquirer. Sure

It is we'll to recall this remark now,

Efficiency is fine thing, In public

But it is better to be free than to be

How Aeropiane Aviators Signal.

There has been tried in France an
apparatus for signaling from aero
planes used IN the war, consisting OF
a reservoir of lampblack, which is
connected with supply of compressed
air
The aviator, by means OF a valve
within reach of his hand, can blow
out a cloud of lampblack OF a size
varying according TO the length OF
pressure of his hand upon the valve.
These small clouds can be seen from
a distance of SIX miles, and the move
ment of the aeroplane spaces them sui
ficiently to prevent them running to-
gether
By the use of the Morse code 1T is
an easy matter to send signals In this
way from an aeroplane, and in add
ton it saves the necessity of wire

SYMPTOMS OF DEBILITY

People who are tired all of the time and never feel rested even after a long night in bed, who cannot regain weight and strength, whose step lacks elasticity and who feel no joy in living, are debili. tated.
 A medical examination might easily show that every organ of the body is act ing normally but the pallor of the face will usually show that the blood is thin. This is the root of the trouble.
 Debility is loss of vitality, not affect ing any one part of the body but the system generally. The blood goes to every part of the body and the use of 6 blood tonic like Dr. Williams Pink Pills quickly tones up the system. The first sign of returning health is better appe- tite, improved digestion, quicker step, brighter eyes, better color in the cheeks. The rich, red blood, reaching every organ and muscle, carries renewed health and vigor. The nerves are quieted, sleep be- comes more refreshing and with persis- tent treatment and proper living the de- bilitated patient is once more enabled to enjoy life.
 Two useful books, fBuilding Up the Blood" and "What to Eat" will be sent free on request by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills.

so that if this is all he gets, his to-
 tai instruction in this line will amount
 to about twenty-five ten hour days in
 a life time. Of course this does not
 cover all the moral and religious in
 fluence of the church upon the child,
 and yet all that is given is little
 enough. If some of the time our
 church plants stand idle, could be
 put to such wholesome plan it
 would not only enhance, the oppor-
 tunities of our children, but would also raise the standard of the indus
 try and efficiency of the church in the mind of the community.
 'The education of the city is not
 limited, however, to our public schools. Many other agencies enter this field. I want to say word about the church and the cities play. There was a time when we turned our children out to play as we would turn cattle to pasture. But we are begin ming to learn something of the value of play and amusements in the life of the community and the necessity of supervision. The unconscious influ- ence of the play ground and the moving picture is perhaps far more powerful than we are yet able to de- termine. Right here the church and it's people have a duty to consider. There is not moving picture place in this city that is distinctly for children. Many children are thus de- prived of. one of the best forms of a1 on y,or y,o unfitness and those hundreds who do go with parents must undergo inn pressions and shocks that may have injurious lasting effect. Why should not New Britain have children's movie house as many cities have, or at least some place that showed chill dren's pictures one or two days a week?. In some places this is very successfully done. Many of the pie lures in the average play house are as bad for adults as for children, and, like the saloons, the worst ones are in those sections of the city where the people are the most susceptible to their influences. At the end of each film you are told that this picture has been Passed by the National Board of Censorship But why should a city be content with National Board of Censors if that board lets by many pictures that are plainly in furious to the minds and morals of it's citizens? Why, I ask, should not the city itself in some way sit in judge ment upon such popular elements of the amusment and recretion of it's people? Some cities ar doing it. but one trouble encountered is that in cities, many of the movie
