The fall of Napoleon entailed the re-

and excluded France from the delib-

prevented this ostracism and succeed

Wherever moral issues are involved,
the instinct Of mankind demands a
clean-cut conquest of evil.
Wherever there is definite attempt

Wherever there is a man who lives
justly, he is entitled to conquest over
those who attacked him.
Right, safety, and justice all de-
mand conquest over wrong, danger

word we use in speaking of the dis

FOODS THAT AFFECT VOICE
Spices and Condiments to Be Avoided
by Those Who Use Their Organs
of Speech Much.

Certain foods or spices exercise a
positive influence upon the voice. The
voices of the alcoholist and smoker
are well known proofs for this asser-
ton. Saliva, owing to its soothing
effect, improves the voice. Vinegar,
on the contrary, has quite contrary
effect The harshest voices have,
among men, the cider drinkers, and,
among women, the pear eaters. There
are, on the other hand, some spices
that affect the voice favorably. Thus,
sweet oranges are favorable, and I'M
fermented lemon juice mixed with wa
ter is excellent for the voice. What,
however, should be avoided in all
foods is pepper and, for the same rea-
son, also all excessively spiced sauces
and irritating pastries. Sugar often
causes infammable irritation of the
palate and a tagging of the vocal
cords. Sugared dishes, creams, com
potes, etc, must as much as possible
be avoided by persons who have to
use often and much their organs of
speech.

different tones to the different rooms
Finish Of Woodwork important.

Naturally, floors and woodwork have
much to do with the final effects. As
rule, the floors on a single story
should be continuous In color and fin
ish. For the woodwork, large vari-
ETY. of effects is possible In these days
of attractive stains. The danger is that
this will be overdone. On the other
hand, the tendency toward simple fin
ish with white enamel is to be en-
couraged. 1t can be used with almost
any color scheme, and is particularly
appropriate for the simple style or
architecture in vogue in many homes.
Since the rugs for the floors and the
hangings-such as window curtains,
draperies at the doors, etc.-form so
important a part of the finish of every
home today, care must be taken in
their choice and arrangement. The
color principles which apply to walls
and woodwork are to be applied to
floor coverings and hangings. In every
case they must be in close harmony
with the wall decorations.

Roads rule the world-not kings nor
congresses, nor courts nor constables,
not ships nor soldiers. The road is
the only royal line in a democracy, the
only legislature that never changes,
the only court that never sleeps, the
only army that never quits, the first
aid to the redemption Of any nation,
the exodus from stagnation in any So
ciety, the call from savagery in any
tribe, the high priest of prosperity,
without beginnings of days or end Of
life. The road is umpire in every war;
and when after the war the new map
is made, the road simply pushes on its
great campaign of help, hope, brother
hood, efficiency and peace.

In determining colors in our modern
houses, the various parts of which are
so generally thrown together by the
use of large openings, harmony or
even uniformity of color is particular
ly important. Not only must the color
of the individual room be good, but it
must be in harmony with the hall and

necessary, then, to plan color scheme
for the whole house in which violent

SLACKERS OLD AND NEW
BY CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY
of the ViaiIantes.

The papers chronicle day by day the
steady advance of the British soldiers
northward through Palestine. Their
lines extend from the Jordan to the
sea and they are slowly but surely
driving the Turks before them in this
latest, greatest and most decisive
crusade.
If the followers of Mahomet can
make any stand against the followers
of Christ it will surely be In the plain
of Esdraelon, one of the natural bat
tlefields of the world. 1t Is singular
how some places lend themselves in
evitably to conflict The plain of Jez-
reel, to give it another name, is one
of these. 1t has been fought over con-
tinually since Thothmes there defeated
the Hittites In the dawn of recorded
history. Jew and Gentle; Canaanite,
Assyrian, Babylonian, Scythian, Per-
sian, Greek and Roman contested for
its mastery In the East; English,
French, italian, German, Arabian, and
Turk from Godfrey and Richard and
Saladin to Napoleon drenched its fer
tile soil with blood in more modern
times. May the forthcoming be the
last of its many battles, and Allenby
the last of the long line of crusaders.
One of the most decisive of the con-
| flicts upon that plain occurred in 1896
B. G. when Barak, the Lightning, in
spired by Deborah led ten thousand
men down the slopes of Mount Tabor
in a successful night onfall and sur
| prise of the army of the oppressor,
Jabin Of Hazor, under the command
of Sisera. The Hazorites were disas-
trously defeated, driven In panic ter
ror down the narrow pass cut by the
Kishon, then in full flood, and killed
or drowned in large numbers.
Deborah made great song about
| the triumph. One stanza runs this
way:
Course We Meroz, said the Angel of
the Lord, curse We bitterly the inhabi-
tants thereof; because they came not
| to the help of the Lord, to the help
| of the Lord against the mighty"
No one knows where Meroz lay. No
ruined vestiges remain to identify it.
There is no other mention of it in the
pages Of history. There is no ground
even for speculation about it. Yet for
over thirty-two centuries it has been
pilloried in it's infamy in that immortal
song. Whatever it's prosperity and its
works, whatever its hopes and achieve
ments, the loves and hates, the sue
cesses or failures, of its people-they
are all forgotten in the blistering with
ering condemnation of the singer. 1t
stands as a place accursed forever.
Perhaps its utter oblivion is the re-
suit of the merited condemnation.
Shall there be written against our
CITY, against our land, the curse of
Meroz? Shall we apply to these and
to ourselves this slackers' text? Or
shall we come to the help of the Lord
today, tomorrow and forever, in the
great conflict now, and at all times,
being waged in Europe and everywhere
against sin and the devil?
Curse We Meroz? Non nobis, Domino
Not unto US, Oh Lord

more formal apartments of special in
terest to men, the stronger, richer col
ors-dark reds, green's, blues and

The amount of light and the size
of the room are important factors in
determining the color of the wall and
woodwork. The greater the light, the
darker the color that may be used
though very dark colors should always
be avoided. Warm colors, including
cream, buff, tan, golden brown, reddish
brown, etc, are best for rooms where
the light is from the north, while
rooms with a southerly exposure are
best in the cooler colors-grayish,
blush and greenish tones, cool tans,
neutral browns, etc.
Tinted Walls for Small Rooms.
Good taste, as well as reason, sug-
gests that for the smaller rooms so
common in our modern building, plain,
light-tinted walls are best. The large
figured wall papers are wrong for such
a house. A room with low ceiling
should have the wall color to the cor
ner. Rooms with high ceilings may
have the "drop ceiling"
