CANNED GOODS.

that the label states the name OF the
packing company. the place ii is
packed. the weight of contents, the
amount OF liquid. the grade OF the

Fate Was Only Answer.

Spontaneous sacrifice is too sa-
cred to be judged of one motive.
Surely the case questioned is one
Of supreme action and sacrifice
to a great degree. Fate is the
only answer to this problem. Is
the predestination which is men,
toned In the Holy Book a decreed
thing? II so, is not the effort to
avoid it useless Although Of two
kinds. conditional or impending,
the decreed fate is that which
cannot change or be altered, and
conditional fate Us that which may
occur. 1t is wise to avoid it, to
protect life from il, to be eau
tious and circumspect or the in
evitable will follow.

The awful tragedy facing Tan

TO release Mary's foot failed. and

presses another action. 1. e.: AL
