striking illustration.
The part of the Bible that the or
thodox Jew perhaps thinks of first
and with the utmost reverence is its
collections of laws, the Law of Moses
short collections, with historical
narratives as their settings, giving the
reasons or the occasions for their
PRONUNCIATION. The laws deal with
almost all acts and all relations of life,
and ritual, ecclesiastic, civil, and GRIM
.inal laws are placed side by side. In
The different collections of laws the
critical student can follow the cultural
development of Israel from it's earliest
.nomadic to it's latest civic and political
stage as nation.
Next in order come the prophetic
books of the Bible, containing the SER
mons and orations of men who consti-
.tuted themselves the censors and trib-
unes of the people, Gliding, rebuking,
advising, threatening, cursing and
predicting evil, cheering and encour-
aging and foretelling good. These
men came from all ranks and classes
of the population, the peasantry, the
priesthood, even the court. The one
characteristic they had in common was
an enlightened moral sense, or con-
science, high moral ideals for individ-
ual and national conduct, which they
considered as the mandates of God
whose messengers and mouthpieces
they were.
Another literary element in which
the Bible is rich is poetry. Some
poems are interspersed in the historical
book, but the bulk of it's poetry is
found in three books, the Psalter, the
Song of Songs and Lamentations.
The poems are of a great variety of
theme: There are elegies, love songs,
war songs, hymns and didactic poems.
The last two are the contents of the
IPsalter. Unique of it's kind is the
book of Job, a poem in dramatic or
controversial form, dealing with the
profound and all absorbing theme Of
human suffering. In the grandeur of
some of its passages it is unsurpassed
in the worlds literature
Of ethical value is the element of
the Bible consisting of collections of
brief moral essays and aphorisms
found in the books of Proverbs and
Ecc1esiastes. In the one book the very
practical matters, the every day duties

Scorpio.

Scorpio is constellation and the
eighth sign of the zodiac. The con-
stellation is conspicuous in early sum-
mer in the skies of the southern Unit
ed States where the whole of the mag
nificent tail clears the horizon. With
the Chaldeans and Greeks it extended
over one-sixth of the planetary circle,
the Scorpion being represented with
exaggerated claws embracing a circu-
lar space where Libra is now placed.
From this irregularity it may be in
ferred that the constellation is older
than t1e zodiac, which was formed be-
fore 1000 B. c. Libra, though later is
of no small antiquity. since it appears
in the Egyptian zodiacs. It's adoption
by Julius Caesar in his calendar made
it familiar. Ptolemy, however. though
living in Egypt nearly two centuries
later, follows Babylonian and Greek
astronomers in covering the place of
Libra with the Scorpions claws.

where TAXES ARE UNKNOWN
That Would Seem Ideal Spots
in Which to Locate.

In these days of expensive living
what boon to live in city without
taxes! But there are such places.
There is Orson in Sweden This
municipality has its ordinary CITY ex-
penses, but it imposes no taxes. More
over, the local railway is free to every
citizen and there is no charge for tele-
phone service, schools, libraries and
the like.
All this is due to the wisdom of a
former generation. who planted trees
on all the available ground, with the
result that during the past thirty
years the town authorities have sold
$5,000,OO0 worth of young trees and
timber, while judicious replantings
have provided for similar income in
the future. s..a-v. --.e... a.
Then there is Mourmalon, in the
Midi France. Here not only are there
no taxes, but the timhers on the com
munal lands are sufficient to grant
each person small annuity.
Nearer home we have the island of
Ireland. Here there are no taxes, sim
ply because the fourteen families who
live on the island resolutely refuse to
pay. In report to the local govern
ment board rate collector stated that
he could not get boat on the main
land to take him to the island on such
an errand as collecting rates.-London

ecumseh's Bones Unearthed.

A discovery recalling early Canad-
ian history has been made ut farm
in the village of Thamesville, Ont,
where bones We're dug up which may
be those of the Indian Chief Tecum-
sch, who fell fighting for the British
in 1913. With the skeleton were metal
military buttons and a pistol of the
type then used. There are most trust
worthy reports that the chief had been
buried close to this place.
Tecumseh, Shawnee chief. fought
with the British during the invasion of
Canada by the Americans in 1912 and
1913. A man of great energy and de-
clsion, he was entrusted with many
minor enterprises, and was finally
killed in battle, when his body was
treated with great indignity.

SPOT ON NAPOLEON's RECORD
Ultimate Failure Dimmed the Glory of
Great Soldiers Early Wonderful
Successes in the Field.

The military genius of Bonaparte is
still fruitful theme for discussion. In
the early part of his career he achieved
such successes as made his name a
terror to Europe, and gained for him
q prestige which series of centinu-
Gus and overwhelming defeats in the
latter part of his history was unable
to destroy. But in the game of war,
results alone can form the criterion,
and the victories of Marengo, Austen
litz and Wagraln can scarcely be adj
mitted in compensation for the blum
ders Of the Russian campaign and the
overthrow at Waterloo.
One qualification of great general
was conspicuous in his character, the
capacity of recognizing and rewarding
merit in whatever position it might be
found. Favoritism was almost I'M
known in his army. He was of cold
blooded temperament, engrossed ex-
clusively by the master-passion, ambi-
ton, and the very cause which kept
his moral purity inviolate made him
almost insensible to the promptings Of
love and affection.

Hurry and Health.

Don't hurry. 1t wears the svsten
like worry. It is especially harmful
in hot weather.
Hurry tears out the nerves and the
body tissues rapidly. puts lines in the
face interferes with digestion and 9th
er intestinal action, and in time NAV
produce permanent palpitation of the
heart
Loss of both physical and mental
control and number of varieties of
nervous disorders may also result from
chronic "hurrying up"
Hurry exhausts twice the energies In
given time that would be REQUIRED
to accomplish twice the work if under
taken in a ieisurely manner

And IS they worked they came to
know each other, and they were
ashamed that for SO many years
they had been strangers side by
side.
"Surely this is one of the compen-
sations of war;" they said, 'that in
our deeper love for another"
So a new spirit was borG into
the city. As though in its heart it
had discovered something of the
greater religion, whose God is father;
and whose faith and creed are love.

THREE MEN AND THE VISION
THEY SAW
By Bruce Barton

In certain city dwell three men
And by accident Of birth one of then
is a Catholic and one Protestant
and one a Jew.
For thirty years they have ongag
ed in business side by side, and the
Catholic has not dealt with the Pro.
testant; and the Catholic and the
Protestant have had no dealings with
the Jew.
"What is he to me?" each man
has said. ''He is not of my faith
] will avoid him."
So for thirty years they have
dwelt together, strangers in friend
ly world
Then came the shadow Of fear
full war And out Of those three
homes three boys went forth alone,
Three fathers waited heart for
the letters from over there.
"There are Soldiers Of Friendli-
ness over here" the boys wrote
home. 'They bring us chocolate
and motion pictures, and baseball,
and good lectures; and the memory
Of mother and Of God"
"Help those friendly agencies
when you have the chance" each
boy wrote home.
So it happened that the three
fathers found themselves working,
shoulder to shoulder in a great cam
paign for funds.
Not as q Catholic and a Protest
ant and Jew-but as good citizens
united in common cause.

PACKING FIRM ANSWERS
TRADE COMMISSION.

Boston-Swift & Co., have pre-
pared a reply to the accusations OF
the Federal Trade Commission held
with Senate subcommittee on
Sept. %.
The company states that in its
whole consideration of profits, the
Federal Trade Commission fails to
realize that the profits reported by
the packers are not profits that have
actually appeared in the form Of
cash, but are largely book profits
tied up in inventory which will I'M
doubtedly disappear in large meas
ure when prices begin to go down.
Even if the war lasted five years
longer and the drop in prices did
not come until then, the loss would
be just as real.
For the meat and by-products
departments, which are subject to
the 8 per cent limitation of profits,
the statement continues, the rate Of
turnover is approximately 8 1-3
times a year. ut must be remem-
bered that part of the steer con-
.sists of by-products which move
SLOWLY, that some Of the beef is,
cured and sailed, and large portion
Of pork products consists of cured
products which move very slowly
and that even in the sale Of strictly
fresh meat it takes some time for
the money to return to the COM
pany's Golfers after the actual sale
is made.
3The commission says that the
packers profit Of one-quarter Of
cent per pound on beef amounts to
SIS ton as compared to only 25
cents per ton profit on coal. AS a
matter Of fact an average quality
ton Of beef is worth at wholesale at
present about S40O, whereas a ton
Of anthracite coal at tidewater is
worth only about 81. Compare a
SIS profit on $500 sale with rs
cent profit on a 81 sale. The beef
profit is only about | IA per cent,
coal profit over 8 IL per cent.
I'm 1917 Swift & Co. filled over
30,000,000 orders Of all products
with a total of about 100000, 900
items, large part Of which had to
be weighed and wrapped separately,
While coal is delivered in CARROTS or
ton lots"
Answering the charge that pack
ers have agreed among themselves
upon division of livestock receipts.
