(BY DIR. VALENTINE MorT.)

<BY LIZ. VALENTINE 01ViA.I
At this time of year most people
suffer from what we term "spring
fever" because of a stagnant con-
dition of the blood, because of the
toxins (poisons) stored up within
the body during the long winter.
We eat too much meat, with little
or no green vegetables.
Bloodless people, thin, anernic
people, those with pale cheeks and
lips, who have poor appetite and
feel that tired, worn or feverish
condition in the spring-time Of the
year, should try the refreshing tonic
powers of a good Alternative and
blood purifier. Such a tonic as
druggists have sold for fifty years,
is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t is a standard remedy
that can be obtained in tablet or
liquid form. Made without alcohol
from wild roots and barks.

Bruce .Telford left the city with a
Swell-stored suitcase. The next after
noon saw him ringing the doorDell OF
the old mansion where he had spent
so many happy hours. The servant
recognized him with a start and
showed him into the parlOr.
There were old familiar aspects to
the room, and there in the alcove was
the special corner always given to
dead Mr.. Burton. The caller even
recognized his desk, his armchair. his
favorite books. 1t looked as though
this was a spot sacred to the memory
of the beloved parent, preserved as OF
old and not disturbed. Involuntary
TeIford took up one of the volumes.
He instantly recognized a classical
author from whom Mr.. Burton had
frequently quoted. Almost uncon-
sciously he turned over the leaves.
He smiled in sad retrospect as he
noted a line that had been a favorite
with the dead man, and, following the
context, turned ove a new leaf
No marvel that he started! That
volume had probably remained I'M
opened for years. There between the
pages lay three letters. They were
yellow and faded with time. Each
one pore an uncanceled stamp. I'm
doubtedly given to Mr.. Burton to mail,
in his Observation-Disclosures he had
placed them temporarily in the book
and they had never been mailed.
"Mr. Bruce Telford"-one was ad-
dressed to himself. And in Marcia's
handwriting His heart began to beat
wildly. Could It be-he was inter
rupted. He knew not why. but with
almost eager haste he closed the book,
thrusting the letter into his pocket.
Marcia entered the room.
They became almost jolly over the
package of presents he had brought
for the little ones. They spoke of
old friends, of the New Years eve
a few hours distant. Would ne
stay to tea and later join her sister
and her husband In a skating party?
Bruce Telford sat In q strange glow
as later Marcia left him TO direct
preparations for tea. His hand stole
TO the letter in his pocket. What
might It moi contain-her reply 10 his
letter, so cruelty withered through
three long. bitter years!
"No," he said, checking an impulse
urged BY a rare heart of h0pe-"iater."

Ring Out the Old!
Ring in the Newl

ND now we hear the tolling bell,
"A That sounds the Old Years dying knell,
And safe within the fleeing past
Its good and evil will be cast,
To oft return, in future hour,
Brought by retentive memory's power.
And what the New Year, ere its close,
May have in store, no mortal knows.
But if all men were good and true,
And would their Christian duty do,
The world would seem to hear again
Sweet peace on earth, good will to men!"
Then all could shout, the whole world through,
"Ring out the Old! Ring in the Newi"
"a, THINK of those bound down by sorrow,
" Now longing for some glad tomorrow
To Tighten up the heavy load,
That they must bear upon life's road,
Who journey on from Cay to day,
Along life's cold and rugged way,
Still longing, as they onward tread,
For deeds undone or words unsaid,
Though friendly smile or kindly hand
Two things at every ones command
Would help to soothe the gnawIng pain,
Or break the links of sorrows chain.
So, Christian friends, your duty do
Ring out the Old! Ring in the New!
WITHIN a learned land like this
W Some think that ignorance is bliss,
While ruthless hands and schening fools
Make rule or ruin their vicious tools;
With no respect for God or man,
Destructive methods are their plan;
Not using reason for defense,
Resort they to fools violence;
Imaginary wrongs they'd right,
By senseless torch or dynamite.
Oh, rulers of our mighty land,
Check this vile scourge with hrmer handI
Then tranquil peace will come in lieu
Ring out the Old! Ring in the New!
DEAR this in mind, what e'er befal,
IL The hand Divine rules over all.
And when we greet the glad New Year,
With all its joy and social cheer,
Let each resolve his best to give,
That this old world may better live.
And as we go but once this way,
Let's shed sweet sunshine's golden ray,
And bring good cheer to hearts bowed down
By adversity's cold, sullen frown.
Then when the sands of life are run,
Well hear the welcome, "Well, well done!
Come, reap the joys prepared for you'll"
Ring out the Old! Ring in the New!
