Criterion of Civilization.

It is impossible to contemplate |nfi-
out interest the struggle made by
different nations, as they emerge from
barharism, to supply themselves with
some visible symbol of thought
that agency by which the mind OF
the individual may be put in commu-
nication with the minds Of a whole
community. The want Of such SYM
Dol is itself the greatest impeachment
to the progress Of civilization. For
what is it but to ilnprison the thought
within the bosom of its author,
or Of the small circle who come in
contact with him, instead Of sending
It abroad to give light to thousands
and to generations yet unborn! Not
only il such symbol an essential ele-
ment Of civilization, but it may be
assumed as the very criterion of CIV
ilization, for the intellectual advance
ment CT people will keep pace pretty
nearly with it's faculties for intellectual
unication.-William Prescott IN

COULD NOT DlsL0DGE ROCK
When Nature Placed Freak on Berk.
shire Hills, She Evidently Put
1t There to Stay.

The famous balanced rock" near
LanesbOro, Mass, in the historic BeTk-
shres, is one of the strange sights OF
this region of hidden mountain caves
snow-capped hills and folklore that
rivals fiction. This rock, which weighs
several tons, is apparently in pre-
carious position on the sheer edge OF
another rocky formation beneath II.
One would think that very sllsh'
push indeed would dislodge 1t from
its position.
Balanced rock" is located on Con-
stitution hill, the eminence named
after Constitution Smith, who was
instrumental in ratifying the Ameri-
can Constitution. An old farmer OF
Lanesboro thought he could pull 'bal-
anced rock" from its position ly har-

rock could be rocked back and forth
but could not be dislodged.

is believed to have been responsible
for placing the huge rock in its pres
ent position.

Has Biblical Sanction.

The American Humane Education
society thinks it has made point BY
showing that "Spare the rod and
spoil the child cannot be found in
the Bible, but was written by Samuel
Butler in 1863. Butler probably got
the alliterative "spare and spoil' from
Ralph Fenning, who used it in 1c49,
but the idea goes back to Proverbs
1924: Gle that spareth his rod
hateth his son; but ne that loveth him
chasteneth him be..mes." We are
with the Humane society (anI the
chastening) in questioning the domi-
nance of unselfish love in the average
Christening" but carnot approve OF
it's quibbling as to the quotation, so far
as substantial sanctioa goes.
But most people wo..ld be surprised
to learn that the ex-ct words were
not scriptural, just ae they would be
to learn that there 10 no direct state
ment about the lion and the lamb ly-
ing down together. Many still think
"God tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb is from the Bible, although
Sterne quoted it. without credit,
from Henry Estienne. Wesley's vague
quotation of an ancient Hebrews
"Cleanliness is next to godliness"
sounds like Bible. Numerous pas
ages from hymns are also enormously
ascribed to scripture.-New York

BETTER THAN ASPIRIN
FOR HEADACHES
New Perfected Tablet, Called Aspi-
tone, Free From Heart Depressing
Effects.-De Not Upset Stomach.

Physicians and druggists are very
enthused over the new and improved
aspirin tablets, called Aspitone, which
do not depl ess the heart. They say
that Aspitone is slightly stimulating
instead Of depressing to the heart and
should be used especially for head
ache, neuralgia, rheumatism anl
other heart weakening diseases, suca
as influenza, severe colds and threat
ened pneumonia
! Many physicians are substituting
Aspitone for aspirin in all of their
| practice on the theory that even if
the patients heart is strong, there is
mo reason TO give a heart depressing
remedy when the same effects may be
had from the new Aspitone without
the heart depressing effect.
Druggists report large demand
/ for Aspitone tablets on account Of the
prevalence of colds and influenza.
They say that the ideal treatment foi
colds is a laxative at bed time with
one or two Aspitone tablets to cou-
troll the pain, fever, inflammation and
tendency toward congestion and pneu-
monia. Aspitone may be had at all
of the leading drug stores everywhere
in sealed packages, price 35 cents. 1t
is sold locally by Glider & Weeks and

STRANGE V'sIT0Es TO INDIANS
savages Not UnnaturaIly Alarmed
When Airnen "Dropped In" to
Their Village.

Army aviat0rS stationed at Trance
1eld. near CriStobal, in the Panama
cana! zone. are required t" go much
IF their flying over water and along the
coast. Recently two pilo:s made
fight to the Gulf of st. Bias, which is
situated on the Atlantic ccaSt about
one h.ndred miles west of France field.
The mainland and small islands in the
gulf are inhabited By Indians, Who are
very unfriendly.
Due to the overheating of motor
one of the pilots was compelled to de-
scend and landed on one Of the most
popuIOus of the islands. His compan-
ion in the second airplane followed
him. CONSERVATION reigned among the
natives when the two airplanea "tax-
led up to the dugout village and came
to a halt What followed is described
in the bulletin of the air service which
contains in official report of the trip:
"It is doubtful who was the most
fearful on this occasion, for when the
besoggled pilots alighted from their
machines the entire population of the
island was lined up. armed TO the teeth.
The chief of the village very reluct.
antly took his place at the head of this
aggregation and with machete in his
hand greeted the visitors with scowl.
'One of the pilots was new arrival
in Panama and unfamiliar with stories
about the unfriendliness of the Indians.
AS soon as he stepped on the beach he
rushed up and greeted the chief in a
very effusive manner, and fortunately
his friendly smile was properly inter-
preted. After this the pilots were per-
mitted to go through the village. and
by way of courtesy the chief was ask
eG by means of signs to take ride
in one Of the airplanes, which invita-
tion was not accepted"
The pilots tried to take pictures OF
the Indians, but the appearance of the
camera aroused such hostility that they
finally gave up the attempt. Before
leaving the village the chief and few
of the young men were induced to
smoke cigarettes which the aviators
produced.
