Noble ASpirations

II we accept Balzac's statement.
Nations, like men, owe all their
strength and vitality that is in them
TO noble thoughts and aspirations"
we shall find ourselves wondering how
We ought to compare the strength and
vitality of England, Germany and
france. Each of these empires is
great and strong, and each owes this
strength and vitality to the noble
thoughts and aspirations of its people.
How shall We appraise the noble
thoughts and aspirations OF Germany,
OF England, of France, No mortal
scroll could mirror forth all of lofty
good that has resulted from the
thoughts and aspirations of these peo-
pies, peoples who are now ravening
at each others threats, forgetting all
the splendor of their constructive
years in the madness of the destruc.
tive present.
Strong these nations are-what shall
make them stronger? Still nobler
thoughts and aspirations. 1t NAV be
that out of this moil of blood and tears
each may rise to a new and higher
destiny. destiny of peace and pros.
perity which shall include no thought
OF war. Let us hope that this NAV be
true of their future.-Dayton Journal.

MEANT TO CONSERVE HEALTH
Laws Laid Down by Hoses Acknowl.
edged to Be Excellent Sanitary
Regulations.

There has been gathered a collec-
ton of facts to prove that the sanitary
laws of Moses were not only on line
with the modern rules of hygiene, but
in some cases in advance of them.
The Jew, thousands of years before
Christ, settling in a semtropical coun-
try, was forbidden to eat pork or shell
fish, and milk was designated as a
source of contagion. In the Talnud
method of Strengthening animals was
prescribed which is acknowledged to-
day in our markets as the most SAM
tary
Five thousand years before Koch
gave to the world the results CT his re-
searches in bacteriology, the Mosaic
law pointed out the danger to man
from tuberculosis in cattle, but did not
forbid infected poultry as food 1t was
only few years ago that German spe-
cialists discovered that fowl tubercu-
losis was harmless to man.
The Mosaic law also enforced the
isolation of patients with contagious
diseases and the burial of the dead
out side all cities. These hints the
Gentle world did not fully accept UNI
til century or two ago.
The wise law-giver prescribed not
only fasting at certain periods of the
year, but the removal of whole fam
lies in summer out to camps. where
for time they could live close to
nature Many of the laws of Moses
were prescriptions intended for the
health of both mind and BODY.

The plan seemed difficult one, but
both the girls agreed that it was the
only possible solution. The boys met
rather sulkily at first, and glowered at
each other. But the girls had insisted
upon their shaking hands and forget

necessary restraint between John and
Peggy and Harold and Lefty.
The days went by aud still nobody
had made a move. If John Ford was
turning toward his former love he
gave no evidence of it. He was al

Neither knew her own mind and
neither dared hint anything to her
sweetheart.
The bows arrived in due course, and
the stroll down town was a dismal
repetition of many such strolls Peg
gy was desperately unhappy and, to
crown her woe, the boys obstinately
refused to join in the game OF gen
eral post" which had been devised.
Harold sat down with Peggy and John
with Lefty.
Both girls were crying silently IN
the dark theater, not watching the ac-
tivities OF the figures upon the screen
at all 1t was too dreadful. Now the
last chance had gone by.
Suddenly kissing sound was heard
and then a bright white flame shot up
from the operators box overhead

Instantly the theater was in panic.
Peggy felt herself knocked from her
seat. A man was trampling on her.
Women were screaming She tried to
fee, but, jammed in the crowd, she
fell to the ground II l.alf-swoon.
Suddenly she felt herself lifted in
a mans arms. He raised her as light
ly as if she were a child and, holding
her before him, fought his way
through the happily diminishing press.
When the girl opened her eyes she
was lying outside and somebody was
bending over her.
1t was John, and Peggy twined her
arms about his neck and chung to him.
His kisses were warm upon her lips.
Dearest, Thank Cod" he was say
ing over and over again.
And she returned his kisses, for she
knew at last, and with only faint
contempt for Harold's cowardice, she
resigned herself to the sweetness of
their loves renewal.
But suddenly she saw Lefty before
her Harold's arm was about her
waist and on the girls face was the
shyness and TRANSPORTATION of loves

The crowd was dispensing and the
four looked at each other in mixture
Of emotions. Then suddenly the girls
laughed and fell on each others necks.

saw him he was standing at the edge
of a roadside excavation for gas pipes

a laborer who was ostensibly engaged
in throwing out gravel. AS Smith an.
preached he heard Brodwaiser say:
My man. if you would grasp your
shovel with your left hand a little
