COLD WEATHER is HEALTHY

This time of the year. the tempta-
tion comes to every girl to stay close
indoors, and protect her comfort from
the weather. She likes to sit by the
fireplace and read, to work about the
warm kitchen, or sew or crochet in
the livingroom, by the glowing heater,
when 1t is raining and blowing and
cold on the road
Fortunate indeed is the girl who
has some task that must take her out
of doors a certain amount each day,
for she Is the one who will exercise
enough. A walk to school, to work, or
even after cows is fine thing, For
she will keep rosy cheeks, a trim fig
ure, and a bright eye, while her sis
ter who sits indoors will come through
the winter with pasty complexion
and too much flesh
Get out of doors all through No
vember. and the following months.
Make it your business to get out every
day, rain or shine, and walk, ride or
run In the open air. Do not coddle
yourself. Begin preparing now to
leave your window wide open at night,
whatever the weather may be, my
dear, whatever the weather may be.
Be an outdoors girl this winter.
Keep young, strong healthy and
hearty. There is nothing better than
daily tramp in the fresh air to keep
your digestive system in order, your
skin fresh and soft, and your express

Trumpet"

London.-It was on Saturday, May
4, 1888, that there occurred an acci-
dent which gave us, says the Chronicle,
the engine whistle.
1t was on the level crossing between
Bagworth and Thornton that Driver
Weatherburn drove the engine Samp-
son into market cart containing fifty
pounds of butter and eighty dozen
eggs. So serious an affair was reserved
for Stephenson's consideration.
A meeting of directors was called
and the managers suggestion of a
whistle which steam can blow was
adopted. He went at once to O musical
instrument maker in Leicester, who
constructed steam trumpet" which
ten days later was tried in the pres
ence of the board of directors. In ap-
pearance ii was like a huntsman's s

inches across the top.

Maybe we need some more BILLY" Sun

From A to 2, the whole encyclopedia
of Christian teaching is just this trans

the church is failing to produce these,
then the failure is fundamental and

We may view with great concern the
modern tendency to substitute sophis-

and power and worldly alliances for the
lives. Does; this present day disposi-

Nothing but the transformation of

enumerated in this chapter which we
are studying; humility. faith, love. res

forgiveness. They are but marks of the
new character which the renewed mind
produces. The changed life Is strong
for undergoing and strong for over

and it covets earnestly the best gifts.

to this lesson, but also to the Bible.
