.Sprog og den JAYNE Fremstil-
ling, barren af den starke Per

som vi, der kendte yilh. Beck,
.mindes fra hans muntlige For

Def hedder f. Eks.: ,,Skal no

RostH. Og hans Rost er altid

maa have hort, at det er Ker-

faar hans Ord en- bel anden
Klang for os, enten Diet lyder
mildt eller haardt naar vi kan
hore hans Rost" derigenrem,
saa lyder det altid som ct Ker.
.lighedens Ord.
Men sandelig, Diet er like nok,
at Vi kan h9re yor Frelsers Rost,
naar vi horer Ordet, medens
Diet tales til os men er Vi ,,hans

Rost som en- Aandens Rost i os

WILD ANIMALS VISIT BANFF
Are Everyday Sights In Cana
dian Village.

Although Banff Is a hustling village
during the summer, and is thronged
with tourists, wild deer from the
mountains are to be seen daily on the
streets, and at night stately elk leap
from the rOnds into the bushes to
escape approaching automobiles. If
Banff cOttager expects to eat his
own garden truck" he builds deer
proof fence around his patch. The
grounds Of Brett hospital are open
from the street, and the other night
half dozen deer made a raid upon
the flower garden. Banff is the cap
ital of Rocky Mountain park and
shooting game within the park limits
is forbidden by law. The deer, being
unmolested, have become very tame,
and even bear now and then pays
friendly visit to the village. Not
long ago a bicyclist, speeding down
one OF the side streets mt night, hit n
dark object, and turned somersault
or two before he hit the macadam.
Sitting up, he looked around and dis
covered a bear hitting the trail for
home as fast IA four legs could carry
him. Although lame and somewhat
obtrusive, the deer, elk and bear do
not relish too close an acquaintance
with man, and have proved them
selves to be not only picturesque but
perfectly safe neighbOrs.-Canadian

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies in
an interview of the subject. made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble il so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. IL is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles Of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, If you wish first TO test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

When Life Grows Broader.

God does not count prosperity as
we count II. Our sense of proportion
Ia largely shaped by our experiences.
When life is quiet and sheltered, and
the stream runs smoothly, we notice
every ripple and magnify every small
obstruction. We are fully occupied
with our work, our small worries.
Then comes some grief, calamity, or
new responsibility which suddenly
changes everything, Our old interests
are dwarfed and look so petty that we
wonder that we ever allowed such
trines to burden our souls. BY such
experiences life grows broader and
higher and takes on new values. We
have new standards of measurement
for our fellow men as well as our
selves.

KILLS MORE THAN WAR
tuberculosis Claims 10000
Victims a Year.
Survey Indicates 100000 Unsuspected
Sufferers From Disease in
Nation.

New York.-A survey of the country
shows the United States is face to
face with a condition more menacing
to It's people than actual warfare, ac-
cording to the report of the executive
committee of the National Tuberculo-
sis association.
The survey shows an annual death
rate from tuberculosis in the United
States of 10000, and more than 1,O00,-
600 active cases of the disease in the
nation.
To combat and prevent the spread
of the disease, an intensive national
campaign is necessary, 1t was asserted.
Funds for the campaign will be sought
by a ten-day sale of Red Cross seals,
beginning December l. The total of
the several state budgets will be more
than S6,500,000.
During the discussions, attention
was called to the revelations Of the
wartime medical examination boards,
made up largely of members of the as
ISOLATION. Official figures were cited
showing that of the men called to the
colors, nearly 100000 were tubercu-
lous.
1t was pointed out that the death
rate of 10000 a year from one pre-
ventable disease means the sacrifice
of more lives than the United States
army lost in the year it was actively
engaged In the war.

Wilson's income. Congress gave him
$780, 00, 900 to spend in the same way,
as he chose. during the fiscal year
ended June 80 last.
MIR. Wilson, abroad, has come into
social and business contact with a
number of crowned heads. None of
them has control of money to any en-
tent approaching his. Relatively
speaking, they are poor folks.
In Paris, a palace has been placed
at his disposal for residential pur.
poses. When he travels 'over there
he has nothing to pay. Nevertheless,
he has big expenses to meet, chief
among which is the item>of tips"
Tips" In u country are bestowed
upon walters, hotel servants and tuxi-
cab chauffeurs. \ But in Europe, when
q monarch or president of a republic
goes visiting, every high or low off,
tact expects something. They do not
stand in line with palms extended, but
it is understood that the august visi-
tor must give them presents of SUBJ
~stantial value-scarfpins, say. or other
jewelry. Nobody must be forgotten.
If he fails to meet this expectation, he
is put down not only as a "tightwad,"
but as a person lacking dignity and
self-respect.
The ordinary custom for the head
of a state in Europe. after a weeks
stay anywhere, is to distribute in this
way about $40, 900 worth of gifts. Mr..
Wilson has travelled much abroad. 1t
would be interesting to know how
much his gratuities ian unacceptable
item of expenditure have cost him.
Now. these huge appropriations in
the multimillions. are, of course, for
war. In peace times, for
purposes, the President has only the
aforementioned neutrality fund.-"
which is so-called because it is meant
primarily to promote safe and agree.
able relations with foreign powers.

date Improvement, doing away with
the mud which in thoroughfares had
previously threatened to engulf
vehicles and foot-passengers in wet
weather.
They made rather rough going, of
course. Nowadays a cobbled street is
avoided whenever possible by vehicles.
Traffic over cobblestones in a big city
made a veritable roar Of noise from
early morn to late at night.
Cobbles came in time to be replaced
by Belgian Observation-Disclosures

afford a smooth surface. This was
deemed an improvement quite o
derful. But Belgian blocks soon lose
their smoothness. Not so with asphalt,
il kept in repair. Much Of our COM
fort at the present day We owe to
asphalt.
Another disadvantage of cobbles was
that a mob. by tearing up a street.
