Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the "dose" mother tnsis-
ted on-castor oil, calomel, cathar-
tics. How you hated them, how you
fought against taking them.
With our children, it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is we'll
founded. Their tender little in

teaspoonful given today saves sick

GREATEST IN OUR HISTORY
Among Men Of Acknowledged Pre-.
eminenee George Washington Eas-
lily Stands At the Head.

In the generation that saw the birth
and the earlier years of the republic
five men stand out-George Washing
ton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas
Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and
John Marshall.
Whether or not the last four Of
them were great men in the full sense
OF the word Is a question on which
people were not agreed In the lifetimes
Of these four, and are not agreed to-
day; but every one felt then as every
one feels now that Washington was
great. He is a world figure.
In mere Intellectual power he was
not superior to the other four. He
had less originality and less wide
range of capacity than Franklin, less
versatile activity Of mind than JEFF
ferson, less brilliant gifts for con-
structive policy and the exposition
thereof than Hamilton; less logical
grasp and penetration of thought than
Marshall; but he rose superior to them
all in a certain massive strength Of
character, in a stately dignity, in a
calm frmness Of purpose that neither
the smiles nor frowns Of fortune could
divert from the course his judgment
had approved. So his primacy was
undisputed then and has remained I'M
disputed ever since.-Youth's Com
Danion.

THEIR HEARTS NOT BURIED
Many Instances of Celebrated Men
Who Have Had Chief Organ of
Life Preserved.

A recently proved will contained the
clause that the deceased "wished his
heart to be separated from his body
and preserved in spirits"
The request, though a singular one,
Is not without precedent. In 1909
Lord Burton made a similar request,
and nine years earlier the Marques
Of Butte ordered that his heart should
be conveyed to the Mount of Olives
for burial. This was done by his
widow. Robert Bruce enjoined a sim
liar duty on his retainer Douglas,
who may or may not have acceded
to the demand.
Shelly's heart is supposed to have
been rescued by Trelawney during the
cremation of the poet, but there is in
sufficient evidence on the point. Da-
vid Livingstone's body rests in West
minister abbey, but his heart lies I'm.
der tree in Africa, and the exact
spot is marked by a tall obelisk sur
mounted by a cross, raised by the
Royal Geographical society.

Foolish Fear of Poverty.

great deal of apparent poverty
come from dread of poverty. A man
saves every cent and goes mind and
soul hungry, and, ten to one, he is
starving somebody else at the same
time along with himself. He is really
poor, for the time being, although ne
mas q large bank account.
Poverty will come every time as the
result Of the improper attitude toward
money. Money is not a reality 1t rep
resents things that we consider for
our good. But there is no poverty like
that Of the starved soul that shrinks
Ind dries up into narrowness and COM
preston. In getting the feeling of
wealth look about you. See all the
wonders of nature; believe that Won
ders will happen and then get ready
for them.
After the days work is done build
air castles, and then go in and lay
strong foundation under one Of them.
Expect to develop into efficiency nee
essary for the bigger job. The key to
this lies in your hands In doing the
little things well.-Patrick Fenton in

Moss Grows on Old Books.

A French scientist, DR.. Pierre See,
has recently communicated to the
Academy of Sciences in Paris the re.
suits of original botanical excursions
which he has been making in the IL
braries. By means of microscopic ex-
animation of moldy volumes, together
with experiments in propagation, he
has shown that these blemishes are
caused by fungi of low orders. Certain
OF these molds secrete a pigment whose
color is characteristic of the species,
and which diffuses through the paper.
More than thirty years ago q Hun
garian botanist, Jules Schaarschmidt,
attempted to study the plants met up
on the edges and In the folds Of old
bank notes. among the dust and dirt.
He scraped the surface Of paper mon
ey in these places and, transferring
the deposit thus secured into a drop
Of water placed under q microscope,
he was able to establish the presence
Of an abundant cryptogamic vegeta-
ton. But he pursued his investga-
lions no further than this.

Odd Funeral Customs,

Curious funeral customs fingered
long in Wales and the border coun-
ties. Aubrey tells US Of "the sim
eater" who came to the house Of the
dead person and for a meal and fee
undertook the responsibility of the
guilt of the departed!
In Wales the night before the burial
the friends and neighbors came to
the house, bringing with them a small
piece of meat or bread and some beer,
etc. Tais night was called "Wyl Nos"
(tlre watching night. Certain psalms
were sung and Scriptures read, and
when person entered the room they
knelt before the corpse and repeated
the Lords Prayer.
Pence and halfpence were given to
the poor in place Of small rolls Of
bread, which was the oder custom.
Along the road from the house to the
churchyard at every cross-road the
bier was rested on the ground and the
Lords Prayer repeated; so also on
antering the church.

BERLIN IN
ANARCHY's GRIP
B0|sheyik Element Seize Many
Public Buildings.
MANY RADICALS ARE SHOT
Spartacan Element Has Seized Chan
ceIIor's PaIace-Independent Social
lists Join Revolt,

Copenhagen, Jan. S-Berlin is in a
state of complete anarchy and civil
war has begun there, according to the
Munick correspondent of the Politik-
Ell.
His information, he says, is based
on telephone messages from the Ger
man capital.
All the banks are barricaded and a
great number of the public buildings
are in the hands of the Spartacan, or
extreme radical group.
Thousands of armed workmen of
the SpartacuS faction, the correx)On-
dent reports, are crowding the streets
and at several points firing has be-
gun. The sound of machine gun fire
could be heard from all parts of Ber-
lin.
The message reported the intention
Of the government to make an effort
to storm the building of the police
guards later in the day and take pos
session of all the machine guns and
cannon there.
DR.. Karl Liebknecht, the Spartacan
leader has been seen here and there
about the city, organizing his troops
for the final fight which, the cores
pendent says, is expected to begin
very soon.
Hundreds of persons are reported
fleeing from the city.
AT Mondays respective demOnstra-
tons of the governments supporters
at the chancellor's palace, in Will
helmstrasse, and of the Spartacus in
the Siegesalle, there were turbulent
scenes
The Wilhelmstrasse, from Inter
den Linden to below the Leipsig-
strasse, was packed full of government
sympathizers. Hundreds of youths
and other civilians in the Spartacan
ranks carried rifles. First fighting
occurred at the corner of the Will
helmstrasse and United den Linden,
where the Bolshevik demonstrators
took away their opponents standards,
pataracan soldiers took stand in
Ion, with their rifles ready, but there
was no firing.
The Spartacan marchers, with the
exception of the workmen from GER
tain factories, comprise the scum of
the city and four-fifths of the whole
number are bedraggled women and
young girls. The American flag has
been hOisted over the Hotel Adlon,
where the American officers belonging
to the prisoner and food commissions
are living.
The Independent Socialist organ, Die
.Frieheit, openly joined with Dr. Karl
Liebknecht's organ, the Red Flag, in
an appeal to the workmen and SOL
diers to meet in the Slegesalle. The
proclamation calling for this gather
ing was signed by "the revolutionary
foremen and confidential agents of
greater Berlin's larger factories" and
by representative of the Independent
Socialists and the Spartacus group. 1t
referred to the "blood-stained Ebert
government" and amounted in reality
to an invitation to overthrow that
government
The situation is most grave. The
main question at issue is the demand
of the ultra-radical element that Chief
of Police Eichhorn shall be retained
in his office. The government order
ed his removal after an investigation,
declaring le was incompetent and
what in American slang would be
called a CRATER
