An old Chinese scholar came fol

the charge of certain DR.. Woods
The doctor asked the new patient his
honorable name. The old gentleman
replied that his unworthy name was

know the doctors exalted name. With
a smile, the doctor said that his mean
name was Ling (Which is Chinese for
Woods.
WHY exclaimed the Chinaman
with fervor. 1.-THE same name, Now I

Of our clan left China and were said

amusement, he was greeted as one of
the family and cordially welcomed into

THE OLD SOLDIERS!

Our ranks are growing thinner, ever,

And death is still winner, every year
Yet we still must stick together
Like the toughest sort of leather
And in any kind of weather, every year
Our comrades have departed, every year
And leave us broken hearted, every year
But their spirits fondly greet us
And constantly entreat us
To come that they may meet us, ever!

Our steps are growing slower every year
Pale death is still mower. every year,
Yet we faced him in the battle
Amid the muskets' rattle,
Defying showers Of metal, every year.
We are growing old and lonely, every
year,
We have recollection only every year,
And we bled for this grand nation
On many a field and station
And with any kind of ration, every year.
Many people may forget us, every year,
And our enemies may fret us, every year,
But while onward we are drifting
Our souls with hopes are lifting
TO heavenly scenes still shifting, every
year.
The Stars and Stripes grow brighter, ev.
cry year,
With labor burdens lighter, every year,
By blood of soldier sages
Along the rolling ages
On freemen's holy pages. every year.
In the May time Of the flowers. every
year,
We have lived in golden hours, every
year,
And our deeds be sung in story
through the future growing hoary
With blaze of living glory, every year,

Primary Votes Cost SIPS Each

voters in town. &c votes were cast in the
primary. and two of these were defective.
At the three caucuses held on the same
day, the Republicans had gathering of

to indicate that the &c votes cast in the

General Buffers Way,

Probably more stories were tolC
about Butler than of any other man IL
the war-unless, perhaps, it was
Grant. To illustrate his habit of do
ing things promptly and effectively
an incident is mentioned where a
newspaper correspondent called to ask
him for something that had to be writ
ten. Possibly it was pass. At all
events, there was no place to write
because the only table in the room
was piled high with books and a great
variety Of other articles. Butler,
without saying word, simply tilted
the table, cleared it by the simple
process of spilling everything on the
floor, and sat down to write while a
nimble negro servant picked up and
removed the debris.
In sending a pilot, who said he knew
all ABOUT the location of torpedoes of
the James river, to Admiral Lee, he
dictated letter in the mans pres
ence, saying: IF he faithfully and
truly performs his duty, return him
to me at Bermuda Landing. If not,
hang him to the yardarm." Then, turn
ing to the pilot, he added Now, my
good man, go; you have your life in
your own hands"
Great Occasion Recalled.
The men who paraded through the
streets of the country's cities and
towns on Memorial day do not ask to be
thought heroes. They are elderly citi,
zens who in their day answered the
call just as their sons and their sons
sons would answer it If it came today
The country gave the command, they
obeyed.
What makes the parade of these
men a great occasion is the great
ness of the occasion which it com
memorates. Every one of the vet
Grams is a unit in the mass which
made up fifty years ago the utmost
strength of the greatest republic on
earth, exerted to save itself from de.
struction and to wipe out from it the
curse of human slavery.
1t is impossible to exaggerate the |
importance of the work which the |
Union achieved for humanity or the
beauty of the self-sacrifice which the
soldiers of 1861 made for the ideal of |
liberty. 1t could not be easy for 1.-The |
spectators in Pennsylvania avenue to
keep the tears from their eyes as the |
blue-clad ranks passed by.

GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
| By ERNEST o. SELLERS
Director of Sunday School Course
Moody Bible Institute
president WILSON AND THE
| SUNDAY SCHOOL.
IN ORN in a Presbyterian manse
- and having devoted all of the
best years of his life to educational
problems, leaving the presidents
office at Princeton university to
enter political life, Mr.. Wilson has
not alone been one who has keen
ly observed but also has carefully
analysed every moral and religious
educational movement as we'll as
those which have to deal more es-
pecially with material affairs.
President Wilson has given his ap-
prevail to this movement by fire.
quently speaking at conventions
and conferences Of Sunday school
workers and is, therefore, more or
less familiar with the principles
and ideals Of the modern Sunday
school movement.
Many sentiments expressed by
Mr.. Wilson are current today;
they have been quoted by speakers
and printed in pamphlets, leaflets
and the press in general. The fol-
lowing has just come from the
White House at Washington ex-
pressing Mr.. Wilson's mature
thought and judgment upon the
ideals and work of the Sunday
school and is worthy of careful
thought and consideration, not
alone because of its authors high
position and wide experience, but
because of the thoughts and appli-
cations which it suggests:
mo study Is more important to
the child than the study of the
Bible and the truths which 1t
teaches, and there is no more effec-
tive agency for such study than
the Sunday school. The Sunday /
school lesson of today is the code
of morals of tomorrow. Too much
attention cannot be paid to the
work which the Sunday school is
doing"
Men who are looking for field
and force. not so much for self
interests but wherein they may in
vest their lives with the prospects
Of great returns upon the invest
ment, should ponder deeply the
suggestions contained in President !

JUICES or THE STOMACH.

The work OF the stomach is twofold
II breaks UT the food by moistening II
as It rolls 1t over and around. 1t Sc.
cretes Juice. wbich Is one of the agents
OF digestion.
Birds. having no teeth. must use their
stomachs to break up their food. In
called its gizzard, has very thick
heavy muscled wall and lining like
the sin on the palm of mans hand.
The human animal in theory breaks
up his food with his teeth and does not
swallow the mass until 1t has been
thoroughly ground up and mixed with
saliva. However. there still remains
for the stomach need for q fair amount
OF churning and mixing. Therefore, the
human stomach has fairly thick mus.
cular coat but one not to be compared
with the thickness of a gizzard. Why
men try to initiate the chickens BY
boiling their food Is inexplainable ex.
cept they think themselves built with
q gizzard and crop.
Last year Prof. A. j. Carlson had a
chance to study a man who had a hols
In his stomach. We recall that the
foundation OF all we know about the
stomach was lail by an army surgeon.
Beaumont, who had chance to study
q fur trader, Alexis st. Martin, at
Mackinac Island. One pay day Alexis
filled up with booze. got In O fight was
shot in the stomach. and achieved fame
Some of DR.. Carison's conclusions are
as follows: The empty" stomach is
never empty. II contains from two tea
poonfuls to two ounces Of gastric Juice
The amount Is greatest before break
fast. Secretion Of gastric juice goes on
ell the time. The amount secreted per
hour when the stomach Is empty"
varies from 30 drops to two ounces.
Thinking about food increases the
secretion Of juice. Seeing and. smelling
food increases the amount OF Juice. The
more palatable, pleasing and appealing
the food, the greater Is the secretion Of
juice. Chewing Indifferent substances
without the taste or flavor Of foods
does not increase the flow Of Juice.
AS soon as chewing of food starts the
secretion OF Juice starts up. The more
palatable the food, the stronger 1T ap-
peals to the taste, tho more rapid the
secretion of juice. The amount secreted
Is about so drops a minute. AS soon
as chewiL~ stops, the rate OF flow Of
er the act of chewing is kept UP, the
more ga=tric juice will be secreted. An
average person secretes about three
pints Of gastric juice during "a hours.
The amount secreted during the heavy
meal (dinner) Is about a pint and
half.
These observations and similar OBJ
servations by the great Russian. Paw
law, and others, tell US q few things
which we already knew, but were not
able to prove. They prove that good
appetite is an aid to digestion: that
savory palatable food Is more easily d.
gested than food which does not ap-
peal; that prolonged. thorough chew
ing helps to digest the food.
Perhaps also 1t explains why cup
Of water before breakfast feels right
and possibly aids digestion. Perhaps
also Il explains why when after a full
meal one feels that his digestion Is slow
he gets relief from chewing highly fla

SAVING FATIGUE.

Every employer Of long established
business carries on his pay roll q num-
Der Of wornout employees. Some he Is
able to give tasks which are profitable
to him. Many he carries from senti-
ment. Many are in between these ex-
tremes. Some are used in training
younger men. Some hold positions for
which the main requisite Is RESPONSE
bility and dependability and which do
not require much work. ,
IL the members of this group be ex-
amined closely 1t will be found that
they stoop. their finger joints are large,
their joints creak, their wind Is short,
and they are without endurance.
Taking sthe, group as a whole they
are far from earning what they receive
A right thinking employer keeps in his
employ the men who have won them
selves out in his service, charging the
loss to the same account in which wear
In equipment Is carried. ID
That some of these men are worn
out is no fault OF the employer. In
stead Of sleeping at night they have
caroused, they have drunk and smoked
and suffered infection with venereaA
disease. They have not lived the laws
of personal hygiene nor lived in hy-
gtenic homes. Some OF 1t is the fault
of the employer.
Let US assume that the cost Of worm
out men is carried by industry and q
large part Of 1t by the, individual fac
tories and stores. If overtired en-
ployes in the course Of time become
expensive for employers then employ
ers are interested in anything which
decreases fatigue.
Employers are studying the methods
Of work Of their employees with a view
to eliminating the waste and thus saw
ing fatigue. In Providence, r. l., they
have a museum Of fatigue. In this
museum there are chairs, tables,
benches, for preventing fatigue. There
are motion pictures showing working
men wasting energy in doing certain
Jobs and other pictures showing how
the same work can be done without
fatigue. The use Of motion pictures
Of men at work shows that much of
the reason for being overtired at night,
exhausted at the end of the day, for
being stove up" stiff in the joints,
prematurely, Is the result Of useless
and unnecessary motions Of the body
in doing work. ~. .... y.
The pictures show that much of the
fault lies with the management, from
floor boss through shop foreman to
manager and owner, in that the doing
OF the work and the arrangements for
1t are badly planned. Incidentally, IL
Is found that the elimination OF wasted
motion increases the amount accom-
plished in a day and at the same time
fatigue is lessened.

tigue Study" describes how one fac
tory changed q certain table in such a
