An Overworked Stomach

Diamond Jim" Brady, who died in New York a few days one of the most unique characters in America. Beginning messenger boy Is, he fought his way up into the world until became one of America's Big Business men, And, like so many others who acquire great wealth his appetite was his undoing
 Two three dozen oysters, a steak two inches in thickness heaping dish of chicken salad various have regular meal hours All this proved too much for his digestive It got he couldn't indulge himself with dry without being sorry he had done
 He went to Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltimore where the doctor extracted his stomach said it had been worked death gave it such scientific treat he could and put back in place again. It showed signs of being nearly good as new. Brady gave the doctor s1O00OO and ordered dinner consisting of canteloupe, cherrystone clans gumbo, sea bass, broiled squab turkey, string bean salad, demitasse, cigars wine and champagne
 The stomach held up under such treatment four years Then it showed signs of wearing out again. Gradually it failed entirely and Brady found himself the possessor of five million unable to eat
 Brady often criticised for his eccentricities recorded. It is said of him that his friendship en- dured through bad luck good Not many men can have such legacy when they called to the great beyond. He generous nearly to a fault He established of $500 900 hospital at Johns Hopkins where all deserving patients may receive free treatment. He gave the doctor who operated on his stomach three motor cars in successive years and handsome mansion in Baltimore

THE VOICE OF YOUR CALL

CFor will be with thee that no harmful thing 
 Sometimes despair of lifes efforts And wish I were out of it all; Sometimes when the clouds and the shadows About the heaviest fall And the cup-bearing hand of fate touches My lips with it's cup filled with gall Then l fain would retire in the shadows And hide from life under their pail; But something from out the grim silence Seems to sound like the voice of your call. Neither what you have done in the by gone, Nor the tasks which the present befall Can round out your life excuse you From doing your best and your ALL. No final there is-naught but future; All these shadows behind you fall, For the bright sun of victry is shining Before you, beyond this dark pail. Quaff the cup. Keep thine heart. Fear trials," Seems to whisper the voice of your call So list ming. I'm brought to the knowing That this life is made up of all The sunshine and shadows meet with; That it's sweets must be mingled with gall That the past is not mine, while the present Seems to beckon up life's winding hall, Giving promise of joy in the future
 Which shall strength to my spirit install If faint not, but smile through the shadows, While I list to the voice of your call

SPIRIT IN MAN
 BY ANOS YATES

| The morning sermon at the Reor- ganized L. D. $. church was preached by Amos Yates, son of the pastor. l The subject taken by the speaker was. Spirit The statement of Job: There is a spirit in man, and the l inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding was used as a text. | Following are some of the thoughts presented
 1 It is easy for all to obtain a fair l idea or conception of material things, | but concerning spiritual things this is i not the case. So many have d very hay and vague idea of the meaning of the 1 term, Spirit Is it term meant merely 1 to express intensity of thought? Or are we to understand that there is such a thing as the existence of real individual spiritual beings? I dare say, if you | present the question what is spirit, to q number of people you will not get d ] very definite expression or a very clear 1 definition.
 We read that in the beginning God | breathcd into man the breath of life and man became a living soul. What was that breath of life? Was it merely | the air that we breathe? Of course our | life ceases when the air is cut off but the breath of life in this instance meant 1 iii'iN liseil liiS DiSdln Ol dlF. u meant also the bestoVal of the spirit of life.
 There are other things needed beside air to sustain physical life. such as | warmth, Sunlight, food. etc. but these are not necessarily connected, or part | Of spirit. There is something back of aH thls not yet analysed. We can ana | lyze the air. the water, the body in it's | various constituents, but the spiritual | life can not be analysed by man. Some | compare spiritual life to a seed which germinates and produces of it's kind. and is it self lost in the production. Some present the idea of spirit as a cup or water dipped from the ocean then being poured in again loses its Identity. Jobs statement that there is a spirit in man which through inspira ton may receive understanding shows the capabiiity of spirit for receiving 1 understanding
 Matt 26: fl, emphasizes the same thought, the spirit is willing but the llash Is weak By this we see that an
 individual intelligent spirit within mar might wish to do that which the per son was unable to do because of the weakness of the flesh.
 Identity and individuality of spirit is snoWn in the instance of the raisine rom the dad of the maid as recorded III Luxe S: 53-55, and her spirit came asain and she rose straighway."
 rms same fact of separate individu- allty of spirit is shown in the state. ment of the Lord when being crucified

CAPITOL GRASS
 AUTOMATICALLY
 GIVEN SOAKING

An automatic lawn sprinkling system will be tried cut at the capitol grounds. Such q course has been determined up on by members of the state board of contfol as the only means of properly watering a portion of the lawn rather than as an experiment.
 When the recent Improvements were made in the capitol grounds. the lawn between the sidewalks and curbs was graded to a considerable extent. As q result. it would he imnossihie to irri- gate these lawns under the former con ditions. The new lawn directly in front of the building, which replaces the for ner driveway from Seventeenth avenue is also graded in the same manner.
 It has been determined that the only possible means for supplying water to these lawns is to construct automatic sprinklers The pipes will he laid un- derneath ground, with the sprink,ers just flush with the earth. This Will make other improvements without en- countering Instructions

Sir William on the Press

The statement Saturday night of Sir William Robertson, chief of staff of Brit ish army, regarding the press is an argument against the senseless censorship clause of the espionage bill which has been at least temporarily rejected by both the and the house The Brit ish have learned within the last years good deal
 about censorship which our amateurs have yet to learn But at it's the British censorship while suppressing much news which there was no good for suppressng did involve the throttling Of the press as to comment upon army hunders The

T believe in little children as the most precious gift of heaven to earth. i believe that the calling of motherhood is the holiest and should be the hap piest of all earths tasks
 Had we always had true mothers, what would America he today? Be loved, Man steps out on the platform as if he were ruling and guiding all and yet it has been the little wife, loving and enduring in the home, that has guided the destinies of Man. Then this creed continues;
 q believe that Christ, who was him self child, born of human mother, is the one never failing source of help for perpleXed, discouraged or wearied mother
 Since to this work, Father, thou has called me, help me to give it all that thou has given me, of understand ing and wisdom and strength and love and gentleness and patience and faith fitness"
 Oh what ideals of a mother. Are we developing mothers today-and the children from infancy-are they think ing the higher and the nobler thoughts Are the young men and women who walk up and down our streets today
 
 sus Christ? l fear not. We talk about the high cost of living. Who has made 't' When we go into cur public schools today we see the children in satin and silk. We follow them back to their i homes and what do we find? We find the father toiling day and night that l he might provide for his family, and yet his family must live equal to that family whose fathers income is three or four thousand a year. We must suffer for the sins we bring upon our selves.
 Let us honor our mothers for to 1 them we owe our lives. At no small l cost to themselves they have given us our lives Are we not in danger of for 1 getting this.
