Learn Meaning of Thrift.

Supt. Thurston explained yesterday
that he felt the money which has been
raised through the efforts of the chill
dren is not the largest phase of the
proposition.
Il feel that the greatest gain has
been that which the children have made
directly in learning the true meaning
of thrift said Mr.. Thurston. THE true
spirit of thrift has been taught them
in this way, and that is really more
valuable than the money which has
been raised"

and Chicago. Plans for this are only
tentative, at present.

be, if he were living and now the
thought comes to me, why not observe
his birthday just the same, even more
than if he were living and could write
us.
Doesn't it seem as though we
should want to be remembered, es-
pecially bywhat we have done. This
was foreibly brought to mind by
dream some time ago. 1 seemed to be
in very beautiful home, evidently one
of the many mansions. 1t was being
built for some of our folks,-this be-
longs to another story, but the part
that has a place here is that l heard
voices singing in the next room. 1t
was beautiful melody. l heard the
words all through, then l woke sud
denly and the dream began to fade.
Only the last two lines remained in
my memory. l repeated them over and
over so that / might never forget them.
but, alas! next morning they had faded
too,-all but the thought. and it was
this: Our friends who knew and loved
us on the earth. seem to have for
gotten us here l made a resolve to
treasure the loving deeds and words
of my dear ones gone before, es-
pecially to regard the work dear to
their hearts, and seek TO carry it on.
I have Just completed a short sketch
of this brothers childhood. 1 wrote
it for his daughters especially. as
much of it will be new to-them. Now
I VIII try to recall more of the thought
and work of his mature years.
From boy he was handicapped by
poor health. but he was one of the
most indefatigable workers - with

WHAT IS YOUR TIME
WORTH TO YOU?

Everyone s time is worth some
thing so when you lose time from
your work you lose money. When
you take ealomel it makes you
sick and causes you to lose time
from your work and is liable TO
salivate you. Lemolac Is a guar
anteed substitute for calomel that
is pleasant to take and as 1t
does not grippe, sieken or salIvate
it Is rapidly taking the place OF
dangerous, unpleasant ealomel.
You don I have to take a day off
when you take Lemolac, so it is
worth to you in proportion to
what your time IS worth, yet a
large bottle costs you only %
cents. You may eat or drink
what you desire while taking
