them, and haven't coin to burn,
but l see my neighbors blowing
every kopeck that they earn, and
IL they can have pianos and fine
motors and such stuff, l will go as
far as they do, though it makes the

the recollection will destroy my
peace Of mind, when l have a harp
before me and a pair of wings be-

blowing every rouble, every red,

them get ahead; so I'm buying cir

WHAT MIRO READ AT SCHOOL
Youngsters Initiation Into Culture
Was Made almost a Re-
iiglous Mystery"

At school Miro was early impressed
with the vast dignity of the literary
works and names he was compelled to
learn. Shakespeare and Goethe and
Dante lifted their plaster heads frOwn-
ingly above the teachers as they perch
ed on shelves about the room. Much
was said of the greatness of literature.
But the art of phOnetics and the COM
plicatiOns of grammar swamped Miro's
early school years. 1t was not until he
reached the high school that literature
began really to assume that Sacredness
which he had heretofore felt only for
holy Scripture, Randolph Bourne writes
in Yale Review. His initiation into
culture was made almost a religious
mystery by the conscientious and
harassed teacher. AS the "DeadwOOd
Boys" and David Harum" slipped
away from Miro's soul in the presence
of Millions "Comus," and Burke "On
COnCiliatiOn' cultural devOutness
was engendered in him that never
really died. At first it did not take
Miro beyond the stage where your
conscience is strong enough to make
you uncomfortable, but not strong
enough to make you do anything about
it. Mira did not actually become an
omnivorous reader of great books. But
he was filled with rich grief that the
millions pursued cheap and vulgar fic-
ton instead of the best that has been
thought and said In the world. Miro
indiscriminately bought cheap editions
of the English classics and read them
with q certain patient uncomprehend-
ingness.

Battle for Prohibition.

Hard drinking in England came to
be regarded as grave national dan
ger. In 1875 a London grand jury held
the traffic responsible for a great
crime wave, and regulation of the
liquor business by law was instituted.
Similar experiments were in the mean
time being made in America.
The battle in this country against
use and abuse of liquor began in a
mild way as a protest in pulpits
against drunkenness. A New England
society went so far as to bind its men,
bers not to get drunk except on the
Fourth of July and general training
days.
Advocates of moderation gave way
to those who felt that only total alb
stinence was the remedy. Then the
battle began.

HABIT

Ben Franklin is our great example
Of thrift. He wrote more on it and
wrote it better than any other man we
know. He began practicing thrift when
he was IL years of age, and he prac.
tiCed 1t and wrote on 1t all his life.
He became the richest man In Amer
lea in his day, richest not only in
money but In health, brains, sanity,
good cheer, influence. He was scien-
list, business man, lingutst, diplo-
mat and a philosopher. He always
paid his way. He founded the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, founded the first
public library in America, organized an
insurance company, pretty nearly cap
tured the lightnings, invented spec
tacles, manufactured the first cook
stove, went to France and borrowed
money on which Washington fought
the War Of the Revolution; and the
basis of all the strength and excellence
of Benjamin Franklin lay in the fact
that very early in life he acquired the
habit of thrift.
Thrift is a habit. A habit is a
thing you do unconsciously or auto
matically without thought. We are
ruled by our habits. When habits are
young they are like lion cubs, soft
fluffy funny frolicson little animals
They grow day by day. Eventually
they rule you. Choose ye this day the
habit We would have rule over you
The habit of thrift is simpl:- the habit
which dictates that you shall earn
more than you spend. In other words,
thrift is the habit that provides that
you spend less than you earn. Take
your choice. "-Elbert Hubbard. Start

IS GREATEST OF FESTIVALS
Easter Celebrated in Some Form
Everywhere, Especially Among the
People Of Latin Countries.

OF all annual festivals among Chris
tian nations, Easter seems to have
made the most serious impression, and
the customs connected with it's first
celebrations TO have fingered the long
est. Europe, with its many nations,
and. therefore. many people, has ever
been the scene of various ceremonies
distinctly belonging to the separate
countries, with the Latin church al
ways in the lead in the matter of pic
turesque symbols and professions.
The war will make a difference in
some districts, but wherever there are
a few gathered together In his name
In the neighborhood Of mighty cathe-
drals still standing, or tiny kinks in
the heart of the woods or along the
sea, there will some feature Of the
story of the atonement be told in SYM
bols.
These strange customs, sometimes
combined with elaborate ceremonies,
are found ~oftenest In the rural dis
tricts, where the people have not free
access 10 the towns, and simplicity of
living does not question the difference
between truth and tradition.

SABBATH OF LIGHT
Holy Saturday a Great Day for
the Pilgrims Gathered in
Jerusalem.

w. URING holy week the Chris

~ Jerusalem visit the sacred
river Jordan. On Holy
Thursday the Greek patriarch washes
the feet Of II pilgrims. This service
and ceremony IS performed in the open
court In front Of the cathedral, on q
temporary platform decorated with
olive boughs. The patriarchs Of the
Catholic and Armenian communities
perform q similar service inside the
cathedral, to which the general public
is not admitted. On Good Friday all
day services are in order, and special
services with ceremonies commence
rating the crucifiyion take place from
six in the evening until midnight. On
Holy Saturday, also known as the
Sabbath Of Light" all lights in the
cathedral are eXtinguished. The Greek
and Armenian sects relight their
lamps, candles and fires from a flame
which is believed by them to appear
on the holy sepulcher on that day.
This is the browning event Of Lent to
the Greek, Armenian, Syriac and Cop
tic creeds. Millions Of wax tapers and
candles are lighted at this flame, burn

Starving in the
Midst of PLENTY
Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

One OF the worst features of acid
stomach Is that very often it literally
starves its victims in the midst OF
plenty, And the strange thing about
1t Is that the people with a~cid-stolnachS
seldom know what their trouble
really Is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be, or how much they
eat, they do not gain in strength.
This Is clearly explained by the fact
that IN acid-stOmach cannot properly
digest food. Instead Of healthy, nor
NAL digestion, the excess acid causes
the food to sour and ferment. Then
when this mass of sour, fermented
food, charged with excess acid, passes
into the inteStines, it becomes the
breeding place for all kinds OF germs
and toxic pOisOns, which in turn are
absorbed into the blood and in this
way distributed throughout the entire
body. And that is exactly why it is
that 90 many thousands of people eat
and eat anG keep on eating and yet
are literally starving in the midst OF
plenty. Their acid-stOmachS make 1t
Absolutely impossible for them to get
the full measure Of nOurishment out
OF their food. And it doesn't take
long for this poor nourishment to show
It's III effects in a weakened, enact
ated body.
You may say: my stomach doesn't
hurt me-" That may be true because
many victims of acid-stomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again. there are millions who do suffer
all kinds Of aches and pains-head-
aches. rheumatic twinges, govt, lum-
bago, pains around the heart and in
the chest-who never dream that an

Is GREAT ESTABLISHED FACT
Skeptics Have at All Times Failed to
Disprove the Resurrection Of
Easter Morning.

The lesson of Easter involves the
question OF the divinity Of Christ.
There. are two great miracles upon
which Christianity rests. The miracu-
lous birth and the resurrection go to-
gether. If we believe n we can be-
]ieve the other. The former Is not
subject to historical proof. The lat
ter has been proved and is n Of the
best-established facts In history.

packed and treasured as sacred relics
which are carried and distributed over
the whole civilized world.
At midnight the service of the resur-
rection Is performed, after which many
of the pilgrims start on their home
ward journey.
Mere tourists are of course welcome,
because they contribute somewhat to
the trade of the season, but they stay
n or several days at the longest, and
do not enter into nor understand the
real religious or social life Of the peo-
pie of the land, and consequently are
regarded as outsiders.
The Mellette County pioneer. [volume] (Wood, Mellette County, S.D.) 19??-1971, 1919-04-25

acid-stomach is the real cause of the
trouble.
Naturally, the sensible thing to do
is to strike right at the very cause Of
this trouble and clean the excess acid
easy way to do this. A wonderful new
remedy quickly removes the excess
acid without the slightest discomfort.
1t is EATONIC. Made in the form
Of tablets-they are good to eat-just
like a bit of candy. They literally
absorb the injurious excess acid and
carry 1t away through the intestines.
They also drive the bloat out Of the
hody-in, fact you can fairly feel Il
work. Make a test Of EATONIC In
your own case today. Get a big box
of EATONIC from your druggist. See
for yourself how surely ii brings quick
relief in those painful attacks OF in
digestion, bitter heartburn, belching,
disgusting food repeating, that awful
bloated, lumpy feeling after eating and
other stomach miscries. Danish all
your stomach troubles so completely
that you forget you have a stomach.
Then you a eat what you like and
digest your food in comfort without
fear Of distressing after effects.
If EATONIC does not relieve you,
it will not cost you one penny. You
can return Ii to your druggist and get
your money back. So If you have the
slightest question about your health
If you feel you are not getting all
the strength out of your food-if you
are not feeling tlp-top, ready for your
work, full of vim and vigor--do give
EATONIC a fair trial this very day
and see how much better you will feel
