man death2
Oh God. Thy wretehed children are
afraid
And sick at heart Shall not this
flood be stayed
Before it crushes Thine essence and
Thy breath
From out mankind? Like torrent ov-

1t falls into the precipice Of fate,
And leaves the shuddering world
all desolate;
Insatiate, its awful weight would
drag
Thine image from the mind, and
leave the race
A piundered shrine, of all its gods
bereft,
A garden fair, whose choicest
blooms are cleft
Asunder in madman's wild em-
brace
Torrent and tempest have one living
end,
Fear and dismay are but nights
wild dream;
! am the end, eternal and supreme!
Shrink not from death, but see in
Him Thy friend;
Calm and nnfailing, silent gentle,
kind
His is the hand which gives etern
al rest
He is my servant trust Him for

| walked into the Office of busy man
the other day His desk was clear with
the exception Of one little contrivance at
the corner-a little block of wood with
a half dozen pearl eyes on top-a little
family of Push Buttons.
AS we talked, this subject was sug-
qested and that subject. And every once
in while, the trained fingers would al
most mechanically touch this button, and
that button, and Immediately without
loss of time this clerk, or stenographer,
or executive would appear, get his IN
structions and then as unceremoniously
disappear, while the great director of that
vast business machinery sat at his desk
calm and dominant.
And ever since, | have tried to evolve
the many little lessons of the Push But
tons.
| have thought of the marvellous ma
chinery of my body and of my mind, and
say: mot another organization, no
matter how stupendous, can compare
with this organization of my own" But,
have realized how incomplete the
handling of this more marvellous human
organization is when compared to that
great organization dominated b. that big
man whose fingers pressed the Push But
tons.

little Push Button system of my own

little Button to get to bed early and rest

here is the Push Button to rise promptly
and to lose no time in the preparation OF

up from the basement into the stricken

How tuberculosis is Contracted

called grippe), bronchitis, and, most
important OF all, the common cold
Experts in tuberculosis OF the
lungs teach that childhood is the
time OF infection--which shoulders
in glands until later in life; youth is
the time OF super-infection, or the
lighting up of the smouldering spark
Much market milk is found to
come from tubercular herds, and
young children often have scroiula
(tubercular lymph glands in the
neck) the bovine tubercle bacillus
being the type of germ present in
many Of these cases. Inbercelln-
tested, pasteurized or best OF al,
certified milk will insure against tins
mode of infection.
OF course the hereditary theory IS
no longer retained. What has passed
for inherited consumption has been
nothing more nor less than the re-
suit of intimate contact in the lam
ily or household life.
Thus we have the problem mar
rowed down to definite principles:
Tuberculosis (consumption) is con
veyed through uncleanliness, care
lessness, ignorance, viciousness and
persistence in all Of these sins Pow
erty fosters such sins, and Of course
the whole community, and not the
unfortunate victim, is accountable
for poverty in every instance.
