Calcium'S Value
i'm tuberculosis

AS a tonic and remedial agent in the
treatment of tuberculosis, this ele-
ment is being studied by scientists
and physicians everywhere.
For more than two decades users of
Eckman's Alternative have tested it's
efficacy in such cases, for calcium
Chord is one Of the chief constitu-
ents of this preparation, which has
produced beneficial results in thou
sands of instances. And in his form
it is so combined as to be easily
assimilated.
If you are thus afflicted, a trial may
prove this to be just what is needed
to assist Nature in bringing about a
return to normal health.
1t is safe to take, because it con-
tains no poisonous or habit-forming
drugs of any sort.

Destiny.


History is replete with predictions
which once wore the hue of destiny,
but which failed of fulflment because
those who uttered them saw too small
an arc of the circle Of events. When
Pharaoh pursued the fleeing Israelites
to the edge Of the Red Sea he was con-
fdent that they would again make
bricks without straw, but destiny was
not revealed until Moses and his fol
lowers reached the farther shore dry
shod and the waves rolled over the
horses and chariots of the Egyptians.
When Belshazzar, on the last night of
his reign, led his thousand lords into
the Babylonian BANQUET hall and sat
down to a table glittering with vessels
of silver and gold, he felt sure of his
kingdom for many years to come, but
destiny was not revealed until the hand
wrote upon the wall those awe-inspiring
words, "Mene, Meme, Tekel Upharsin. =
When Abderrahman swept northward
with his conquering hosts his magma
ton saw the Crescent triumphant
throughout the world, but destiny was
not revealed until Charles Martel
raised the cross above the battlefield Of
Tours and saved Europe from the
sword of Mohammedanism. When Ma
poleon emerged victorious from Maren-
go, from Ulm and from Austerlitz, he
thought himself the child of destiny,
hI14 IL
Butcher s forces joined the army Of
Wellington and the vanquished Corsi-
can began his melancholy march toward
st. Helena. When the redcoats of
George the Third routed the New Eng
landers at Lexington and Bunker Hill
there arose before the British sover-
eign visions of colonies taxed without
representation and drained of their
wealth by foreign-made laws, but des-
tiny was not revealed until the surren-
der OF CORVALLIS completed the work
begun at Independence Hall, and ush-
cred into existence a government de-
irving its just powers from the consent
of the governed.
Ihe destiny argument is usually
the subterfuge of the invertebrate who,
lacking the courage to oppose error
seeks some plausible excuse for sup
porting it. It is a complacent philoso-
ply; it obliterates the distinctions be-
tween right and wrong and makes in
dividuals and nations the helpless vic
