Is He Worth the Price

''ls he worth the price?' Is the question every employer asks himsslf before he employs man. and the man who is not worth the price Is dead loss How many of us ever ask our selves the question whether we are worth the price that God and our nation and our community are paying us? We receive innumerable blessings from God, we receive protection and our in- dividual interests are safeguarded and there are thousand benefits that We receive as citizen of this Nation and community No one can deny these facts, and so the old question of reel procity looms up. unless one be beastly ingrate. and even that does not excuse or release him from obligations to God and his fellowmen. Every per son owes it to God and the community to be the very best possible citizen.
 Ideal citizenship commences with man g realizing his personal respons- bility to God Webster said that was the uppermost thought in his mind
 This thought or fact implies the wor- ship of God. and as the church of Jesus Christ Is the only institution in the community for the development of character and the making of citizens by leading men to Christ, it IS the duty of every one to stand by the church

 "To show you how he valued an egg He had boy workin' for him one time and he sent the hoy to the henhouSe to gether the eggs. and he was gone speek lenger'n Enoch thought needful.

not legally, compelled to send troops
to Europe or other parts Of the world
to carry out the will Of the league if
the league wills it that troops be sent.

THE SIN OF OMISSION.

1t isn't the thing you do, dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you a bit of heart-ache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write.
The flower you might have sent. dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way.
The bit of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch of hand. dear.
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time or thought for,
With troubles enough of your own.
These little acts of kindness,
So easily out of mind.
These chances to be angels
That even mortals find
They come in night and silence, r
Each chill, reproachful wrath,
When hope is faint and tagging,
And blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great,
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late.
And it's not the thing you do. dear,
It's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bitter heart-ache

As to Spelling.

The following, from the st. Louis
Republic, applies to almost every
school in the country and teachers
should sit up and take notice:
There's question we have been
wantin~ to ask for a long time. and
the presence Of the Missouri State
Teachers association gives US a rare
opportunity.
Is spelling still being taught in the
public schools or has it been discard
ed from the curriculum as useless
accomplishment?
It has been our experience, and
the experience Of St. Louis business
men in general, that school graduates
can do nearly anything except spell
common words correctly. They can
weave baskets, model in clay, do folk
dances and tell you the first name of
the second wife of Rameses III, but
when it comes to laying out in proper
sequence the letters that go to make
up the words in an ordinary CONNER
cial letter they're at total loss.
Probably we're hopelessly old
fashioned in assuming that spelling
is just as essential to general culture
as folk dancing and clay modelling, yet
doesn't it make you peevish to pick up
a letter from a sweet young thing Just
out of high school with about half of
the words in furious disagreement
with Webster?
AS matter of fact we have come
to the. belief that the prcsent-day cur
riculums are overcrowded with rela-
lively unimportant matter. Clay
modelling and astronomy are, no doubt,
excellent mental exercises, but are
they not rather specialties than stan
dard subjects of instruction? Isn't it
more important to have the child well
grounded on such things as spelling,
writing and arithmetic than to have
them emerge from school into life
with but faint smattering Of score
or more Of subjects?
We leave the answer to the Mis-
souri, State Teachers association.

ST. PAUL MAN
GAINS 20 POUNDS
Carlson Also Got Rid Of Thirty Five
~ Years Trouble With Rheu-
matisnn.

81 only weighed one hundred and
thirty-three pounds when / commenced
taking Tanlac, but now ] tip the scales
at one hundred and fifty three, which
gives me a gain Of 20 pounds" said
J. w. Carlson, who lives at So Phalen
Creek, st. Paul, Mimi, the other day.
II am sixty years old now" con-
tinued Mr.. Carlson, "and up to the
time I commenced taking Tanlac I
had been suffering from rheumatism
since I was a young man about 25
years old. During that time l had the
very best of treatment, and tried many
different kinds of medicine, but I new
er got any permanent relief until /
got hold of <Tanlac. I was in such
bad shape last year that ! was laid
up for three months on stretch. |
also suffered from stomach trouble so
bad that what I ate would sour and
cause me to be bloated up with gas
for hours at time. Very often I
would have raging headaches and was
so restless and nervous at night that
I never got any real good sleep. All
these troubles together finally got the
best of me, and not long ago had
to give up and go to the hospital for
awhile.
S"That was the condition l was in
when I commenced taking Tanlac, and
I really didn't think that I would ever
be any better. Well, sir. the way Tan.
lac knocked that rheumatism out is
simply wonderful. Why, I never have
a sign of it any more, and the same
with the stomach troubles. can eat
just any thing want and / never suf-
fer particle afterwards. / eat lot
too, for have such ravenous appe-
tite that I am actually hungry all the
time. My strength has come back to
me, and it beats the world how I am
gaining in weight. In fact, Tanlac
has completely overcome my troubles,
and I never felt better in every way
in all my life before. It gives me
pleasure to recommend Tanlac, for it
is certainly a real medicine, and will
do just what they say it will do" q
