CAN THE DEAD COMMUNICATES

In answering this question I be- ieve we should begin by recognizing that the vast majority of the human race have always believed that in some sort of way the dead do com municate with the living. I know that this argument, from universal consent, does not impress us much in this scientific age but it ought to inn press us more than it does.
 It is not religion which has brot us out of mid-Victorian skepticism, but modern science. We cannot ig- rore the conclusions of such men as Sir William Barrett and Sir Oliver Lodge. I remember the late Freder- ick Myers saying at physical re- search meeting, about twenty years ago: Remember that you clergy begin all sermons on a tremendous assumption that there is another world. We are trying to make that assumption a certainty"
 The Society for Psychical Research get us away from the quacks of the spiritualistic movement and accepted no evidence but that which would bear scientific inquiry. The result of that work is not by any means fully

Amen is a Hebrew word signifying yes. truly. In Jewish synagogues the amen is pronounced by the congrega tion at the conclusion of the benedit- tion. Among the early Christians the prayer offered by the presbytery was concluded by the word amen" utter ed by the congregation. Justin Martyr is the earliest of the fathers who al ludes to the use of the response. Al the conclusion of prayer it signifies according to the English church cate chism.

 In an article on the dishonesty of servants who have long served In old houses the London News cites the case of an aged woman who died in a sub- urb of London twenty years ago. She had been continuously in service in a great family for half century and had appropriated all kinds of property, among which was picture which was recovered by the heir of the house and sold to America for $1JO.OOO.

BETTER THAN CAlOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
q Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablet-,he sub
stitute for calomel-are a mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit OF DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts 10 banish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold OF the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense Of the teeth Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. I, is best not to
take calomel. but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take It's place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy' and
"heayy." Note how they clear clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spir-
its. lOc and &c box. Al druggists

The opposite condition, that OF

ing her out Of captivity.
So far, she has only succeeded
In making herself one more handy
cog in the wheel of mans indus
tries.
The children of the woman who
works for wages outside of the
home are often weaklings. Thus
the woman who is employed and
the woman who does nothing at
all, both fail as mothers in the
same degree, although for quite
different reasons.
But as a rule, more talking than
thinking is done on this subject.
And much of the talking amounts
to the same things as cutting
water with a knife.
Real freedom can come to wom-
an only through her universal, her,
normal experience.
Free womanhood means free
motherhood. The ideal woman
will be able to choose how many
children she will have and when
she will have them. This means n
new spiritual relation with man
1t is a matter of ideal love, not
one of dollars and cents, not one
of parasitism or of economical in
dependence.
