u heard in this country about the
stringent government measures in
Germany for controlling prices and allot-
ting food and other things 70 the people
only on tickets, proiiteering still appears
to be very general there in all cases where
the government itself has to contract for
supplies. A late number Of the "Frank-
furter Zeitung," in a leading editorial on
the subject, speaks of the enlightenment Of
the people over the enormous profits made
by the farmers and many branches of in
dustry through the war Certain manu-
featuring branches in particular have
made enormous profits in army contracts.
The newspaper singles out the automo-
bile factories, and shows how they have
earned money since the war began. This
is what it has to say:
The Benz Company; OF Mannheim, which
passed is dividend the year before the war
and paid T. per cent for the first wa- year,
was able 20 distribute % per cent for each
Of the two following years. In addition

doctor. This town at the age of six
weeks has a post office, a bank and
a Methodist church. No other town
nthis state has never made such
rapid progress. But other towns have
had the same advantages that are

YEAR OF CARNAGE.

The past year has been one OF blood
shed and carnage. Men and inno-
cent children have been murdered by
the tens Of thousands, but yet Chris
tianity is advancing, is rolling on and
it is going to warm the hearts of all
nations and all nations will bask in its
light. Men j may shut the window
blinds so they cannot see it, or they
may smoke the pipe of speculation
until they are Swallowed under their
own vaporing; but the white light Of
the gospel made up .of all the beauti.
full colors of earth and heaven, violet
plucked Fl ON amid the spring grass,
the indigo Of the southern jungles, the
blue Of the skies, the green OF the
foliage and the yellow Of the autumn
nal woods, the orange OF the southern
groves and the red Of the sunsets, all
the beauties Of earth and heaven are
combining to keep the ball of Christ
tlanity rolling. The good homes of our
land are the little yeast cakes that
keep the moral influences working.

their death blow from clubs In hands
Of the good mothers OF our land

NO GLOOM AT HON IL.

Above all things there should be no
gloom in the home. The shadows Of
dark discomfort and fretfulness should
never cross the threshold, throwing
their large, black shapes, like funeral
pals, over the happy young spirits
gathered there. If you will, you shall
sit on throne and be the presiding
household diety. Oh. faithful wife,
what privileges, what treasures great
er or purer than thine.
And let the husband strive to forget
his cares as ne winds around the long
narrow street, and behold the soft
light Illuminating his little parlor,
spreading its precious beams on the
red pavement before it. He has been
harrassed, perplexed, prosecuted. He
has borne with many cruel tone,
many cold word, and perved him
self up to an energy SO desperate that
his frame and spirits are weakened
and depressed. And now his limbs
ache with painheat caused by too
constant application. He scarcely
knows how to meet his wife with a
pleasant smile, or sit down cheerfully
to there little meal, which she has
provided with SO much care.
But the door is opened-the overcoat
thrown hastily off. A sweet singing
voice falls upon his ear, and the
tones are so soft and glad that hope,
like winged angel, flies right into
his bosom and nestles against his
heart.
A home where gloom is banshed-
presided over by one who has learned
to rule her household. Oh! he is
thrice consoled for all his trials. 1t is
impossible he can be unhappy
That sweetest, best, dearest soace Is
his-a cheerful home. Do you won
der that the man is siren thened
anew for tomorrow's care?

THE MOTHERS OF THE WORLD.

The first mother OF whom we have
any knowledge was the mother OF
Cain and Abel, the much abused Eve,
who has been held responsible for SO
much Of the trouble that exists In the
world. 1t is written that Eve was
created after Adam so woman has al
ways occupied n second place in the
management Of the worlds affairs.
Yet Eve must have possessed superior
mental qualities or she could never
have led Adam into such evil ways,
and the circumstances attending
Eyes unhappy interview with Adam
all point to the fact that Eve was men
tally Adams superior.
Notwithstanding the fact In the
beginning woman was second In the
race, IL has been demonstrated beyond
cavil that mother love Is the hottest
purest passion OF the human heart.
The mother instinct is almost super.
natural. Even the brute mother will
fight for her offspring and when the
light dies out OF the mothers eye, nc
other eye, save the eye OF Omnipo'
tence will ever follow the child 10 al
his wanderings as she has done.
