Better to Love.

Better to love while living,
And better than all that's said
To go with heart forgiving
The living before the dead.
For with the dead it Is peaceful,
And hearts can ache no more;
But with the living, they need you,
And their hunger Is never DER.
Better to love while singing,
And better than all that's sung
The love in sweet word winging
To. wed with heart that's young.
For words are an empty message,
And life Is sunless CLEAN
without the passion that puppies
The silvery valleys Of dream.
Better to love while toiling,
And better all toll for this
The touch Of a tender spirit,
The bloom Of an answering kiss;
For the toll may tear us asunder,
And the care may batter and scar
But love with living wonder
Can battle the bitterest tear.
Baltimore Sun.

GOODS ON APPROVAL
8y DIR. SAMUEL G. DIXON
Commissioner OF Health OF
Pennsylvania.


1t is the custom with many firms to
send certain classes of goods to their
customers homes on approval. If they
are not satisfactory the prospective
purchaser has the privilege of ex-
changing them. Obviously 1t Is impos-
sible for the salesman to know what
conditions are In the house where such
goods go, who handles them and how
they are tried or examined. The pos
sibility of spreading communicable
disease is very real.
When new things 60 into a home,
curiosity and interest is naturally
aroused In all the members Of the fam
examination.
OF course where there are cases Of
communicable disease which have
been reported and quarantined no
goods are delivered on approval. There
are often cases of disease, however. in
the early stages unrecognized or so
mild-in form as to make 1t seem I'M
necessary to call "a physician. Into
these homes merchandise Is delivered
without question.
Modern craftsmanship is far removed
from the sharp barter of earlier days
and fair dealing and honest represen-
tation are recognized as necessary
foundations for success. Sending
goods on approval however, is carry
ing things so far that 1t may result in
harm to the purchaser.

FLANAGAN AT THE BALL GAME

w. W., Flanagan, banker of al
most worldwide fame, and just at
present secretary Of the rural credits
commission, never saw a professional
baseball game until one day recently,
when he went with Daniel O'Connell
to the American league park in Wash
ington. Even at that he didn't seem
to take a serious view of the situation,
for when the seventh inning came and
the crowd stood up in obedience to
the old tradition which brings luck to
the home team at that juncture, Mr..
Flanagan started home.
"Where are you goingT' asked
Mr.. O'Connell.
"Why, isn't the game over? Every
one is getting up"
Dan pulled him back into the seat.
In the ninth inning the teams
were tied and Mr.. Flanagan began to
grow excited, which shows he is a
real American, after all. After this
perhaps he'll be a regular fan.

Collars Grow Wider.

Collars and cuffs grow bigger
and bigger; 1t looks as though,
before many moons have passed,
the extreme style Of 1880, when
cape collars, falling almost to the
waistline at front and back were
worn, will have been reached. A
smart neckwear set for wear
over a simple silk frock or
blouse, is Of sheer batiste, with
edge frillings of plated net. The
collar opens In v and falls well
over the shoulder, and instead of
crossing In surplice fashion, the
long ends are gathered up to
form a sort of jabot. The cuffs
reach the elbow and are buttoned
all the way up with round
, crochet buttons.

ALEXANDRA STILL POPULAR

Queen Alexandra still remains the
most popular member Of the royal
family of England, and scarcely day
passes that she does not make at least
one public appearance at some bene-
fit for war veterans. Although she
will celebrate her seventy-third birth
day next December, Alexandra takes
the utmost pride in her personal ap-
pearance, and at a distance she gives
more the impression of being unaf-
fected by time than does Queen Mary.
Nobody thinks of calling the Wild
ow queen the queen mother or the
"dowager queen" She objects to be-
ing designated by either of these IT,
ties in print, yet no familiar use Of
them by the press would lead her
friends to adopt them In speaking of
her. They don't fit. She doesn't take

fere In politics, and devotes herself
