SQUEEZING BLOOD
OUT Of A TURNIP
A Lot Of People Apparently Think
Il Can be Done,

'You can't squeeze blood out
of turnip." This is absolutely
true, but lot of people evident
ly don't believe it.
You cant expect nervous, run
down men and women to be
CHEEKY, normal beings. They
don't get one-half out of life
that they deserve. But a lot of
people expect it of them.
In every community there are
a legion of these men and wom-
en-. Not really sick, perhaps,
but affected with a debilitated
condition so that they imagine
countless things are wrong with
them. They have frequent head
aches, are sluggish in mind and
in body and they haven't enough
real energy to make them self-re-
liant in even the little things of
life. They haven't enough rich,
red blood to nourish their bodies.
Their vital organs are longest
ed. They need something to
speed up their assimilation to a
normal state, something to bring
back old vitality. self-reliance
and a CHEEKY view of life. lA9x

tains the right nerve food. tonic,

The Habit of savino.

The United States is thriftier than it
is commonly given credit for being be-
cause statistics most frequently quoted
do not give all savings deposits and be-
cause a vast deal Of savings goes on
outside of savings institutions. Yet it
does not live up to its opportunities by
a long way. One of the country's
ablest business men said not long ago
that any one could tell whether he was
going to succeed or fail by his ability
to save. If he could not save he could
not succeed. At any rate, inability to
save for man with an income above
the bread line and no unusual i'll luck
implies lack of self control that is
not conducive to success.
Like nearly everything else, it is a
matter of habit, and with little de-
termination to begin with the right
habit is as easily formed as the wrong
one. Try it.-saturday Evening Post

Science and Nations.

True revolutionists, believe me, the
real men Of action, who are promoting
truth and Justice for the morrow, are
scientists Governments fall and pass
away; nations grow, shine with splen-
dor and decay. But what matter? The
discoveries Of science will 60 on, will
increase, will give mankind more and
more light and certainty. The close of
q century Is small matter; the march
Of human progress will always he re-
sumed; human nature will insist ON
having knowledge, whatever may be
the obstacles. 1t is foolish to object
that We can never know anything: we
have got to know all we can that we
may attain the greatest happiness.
And therefore say, How foolish are
all the political disputes that excite
nations! While the salvation of prog
ress is supposed to be involved in the
fate Of ministry, it is really the sci
entist-the man of learning-who will
be the master Of the future when he
shall be able to enlighten men with q
new spark of truth. All injustice SHAN
cease when truth shall reign.-Emile

A Doctor Of the Old School.

Doc Robinson never looked wise and

He'd let one tell him every little symp-

never go and whip out one of those

Il patient as If he were laying out

gossip delightfully."- and suddenly turn
around and ask Margaret if that wasn't
a brand new dress she had on, feed
little peppermint candies to the chill
dren and sit with several on his knees
while he talked. He made his call q
pleasant affair. Every one In the house
enjoyed it and got the benefit of it
even the invalid. "Well," he'd say re-
luctantly, exit and I've got to jog
along. though it's mighty comfortable
sitting here by your fire. We gotta go
way out on the Cider Mill road."-

Lowetl's Dread Of Old Ace.

I have said that Lowell was the
youngest man l ever knew. It Is also
true that I never knew any ether man
Who had greater dread Of growing
old than he. He would sometimes say
to me u was twenty-five years the
younga), 'Oh. you'll begin to feel it
pretty soon."
The last time saw him he gave me
curious and somewhat pathetic indi
cation Of his interest in this subject.
I happened to be in Boston for day
and went out to see him in the teeth
of a terrible March blizzard. 1 thought
he seemed rather lonely. He told me
that Hoppin had called upon him not
long before. He said that he looked
we'll and seemed to be iii good health,
but he noticed that when he went out
he was little awkward in getting
down the front steps. When l left
Lowell came to the door with me and
stood there, evidently waiting to see
how l negotiated the front steps. AT
the age at which l then was there was
no reason why there should be any
thing the matter with my action. But
the incident was characteristic of
Lowell and of his intense interest in
the subject of youth and age.-E. S.
Nadal in Harper's Magazine.

Gladstone Never Prime Minister.

0tS0SSoU0 TNSVer Frtn0 MtnISIoF.
Gladstone would probably have pro-
tested If any official document had de-
scribed him as one Of the principal Sec
retaries of state, for he was keen on
correctness in such matters. When CIV
ing evidence in trial he was asked
whether he was first lord of the treas
ury. He demurred at once to this de-
scription and explained that he was
one of the commission for executing
the Office Of lord high treasurer, "and
I believe my name stands first On the
list" In the same way it could be ar
gued that Gladstone was never prime
minister, for that post was first recog-
nized officially eight years after his
death. Sir Robert Walpole told the
house Of commons that he claimed no
such title, and Lord North would not
permit its use even in his own family

Tho Killed Evzone.

The Greek soldier may present to
some highly humorous picture in his
ballet skirts and tunic. Despite his
peculiarities of dress-which, by the
way, are scarcely more peculiar than
those of some other nations-he Is an
excellent fighting man,
The evzone, as he is called, would no
more abandon the skirt than would a
Scot his kilt. 1t Is part of his ma
tional honor, part of his personal be-
ing. 1t is right handed down to
him from ancient times. A bas relief
of the soldier who fought at Marathon
shows him in similar costume. His
costume is no ephemeral piece Of cloth
ing, for it is worn with the dignity of
ages behind it. The evzones are ig-
norant of fear and If they look any
thing but soldierly their appearance is
belied by their ability to fight under
extraordinary conditions. - Syracuse
