all the people should devote their Sundays
to what is worth while, to what has real
value and to quietude rather than clamor.
y Congress will not enact such law The
bill may be introduced. but there will be no
"Volstead" Sunday law. The agitation on
its behalf, however, will do good, not harm,
and those who sit in the seat of the scorn-
full will do themselves no credit.
To remember the Sabbath day no
longer makes necessary a return to the
habits and customs of our Puritan ances-
tors. The Lord can be worshippcd in the
beauty of holiness without austerity or
ascetieism. Yet it is to the very rigidity of
the faith of the men of those days, we
of today owe our freedom of worship, Our
political liberties and our right to govern
ourselves.
Certainly respect if nothing more, is due

made them what they were and able to
accomplish what they did, is worthy the
serious thought and possibly reverence, Of
this iconoclastic period

refusing his name, address and even re-

equal gift.
His clothes were so old and his appear
ance so unimpressive that the porter of an
institution in Bloomsbury did not think il
necessary to show him in to the secretary,
as he requested. but let the CLERK deal with
him.
Putting down the S2.soo. the benevolent
visitor explained that he was growing old,
had not many more years to live, and
might as well get rid of his money this
way as any other.
The secretary, when informed of the
windfall, rang up brother secretary and
warned him against not welcoming with
open arms a man in top boots and
breeches, a coat green with age, and cap

Infant Prodigies.

II child is prodigy should its parents
swell up with pride or shrivel with dreadl
Some scientists hold that prodigies are
candidates for asylums for the insane, that
genius is akin to insanity.
Just now they are watching Samuel
Rzeszewski, the 8-year-old Polish phenome-
non who has defeated not only all the chess
experts, but has, playing alone, beaten
from 20 to 26 of them in as many stimuli
taneous games. His name alone would
seem to warrant their suspicion.
Naturally they recall Paul Morphy, an
other boy prodigy at chess, whose brain
collapsed. Will young Rzeszewsi be but
another? Just how much strain can the
immature human brain stand and not give
way?
The ordinary man to whom the word
"phrenology" has much the same signih-
cance as "Rzeszewski," just string of let
tiers so hung together as to mystify the un-
initiated, regards prodigies as sideshow
freaks. The story of geniuses indicates that
it is as apt or more apt to fruit from SEEM
ing Juvenile stupidity as from infantile
precocity.
But beyond that, commonplace, every
day parents will marvel at the stupidity,
which to them amounts to crime, Of the
parents of this young Psle who permit him
to engage ins sthese contests. They seem
willing to exploit him for their own glory
or financial gain or both, wholly ignoring
the child's good or his child rights.
If this boy, apparently but mental
phenomenon, is not only used but abused
as he has been, it will be a miracle if he
does not either break, or degenerate into
mere machine of one operation. Ger
tainly' such child should have broader
usefulness, a greater personal satisfaction
for himself and more attractive and stin-
ulating outlook for his future years.
The youngster seems to operate at the
chess boards automatically, but automatons
are not really human even if they have
human form. He seems to play his games
without stress or strain, and with apparent
Indifference But why not let him be just
boy1 Why not find if his brain has not
OTHER eells?' Why not discover If his one
dominating ability cannot be, developed
and applied in other directions?
Chess may be side study, game,
mental test and recreation even though
strenuous. But it produces nothing in it.
self; its cultivation has no value to the
world at large or to any community. Why
then condemn child to it alone, who
might use this sort of uncanny ability in
some field of real usefulness?

about a month before he suddenly died in
Canada and penned the last night he spent
in the Embassy on Connecticut avenue

The love that asks no question; the love

That lays upon the altar the dearest and

The love that makes undaunted the final

great to them that know

When Joseph Hodges Choate sat in
Horace Mann's lap, it was because there
was no more room in the Choate carriage,
and Joseph was quite too small boy to
require seat for himself. DIR. Choate,
Joseph's father, was obligingly taking the
noted reformer from Topsheid, Mass,
where Mann had delivered lecture, to
Salem to pass the night. That was all

for State department of archives and his

elaborate study of the archives of England,

in the work of calendaring and transcrib-

Mr.. Edison and the Psychology Of Music.
Edison having both spent and secured
fortune IN perfccting an instrument for re-
.cording music, which device has value,
commercial and aesthetic, is not content TO
stop with this accomplishment. In making
his machine he has become interested in
music per sc, as he never was before. So
he has offered a prize of $500 to be
awarded next june by experts chosen by
the American Psychological Association.
The competitors are TO submit essays,
theses. whatever you please TO call them,
that deal with music's as yet unanalyzed
effects upon hearers. Mr.. Edison wants TO
know how far musical compositions can be
classified according to their psychological
effects; to what the degree of difference in
musical sensitiveness is due; how far
moods are caused or modified by music;
whether music has an effect on muscular
activity and can be counted upon If used

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to flush Kidneys
if Back hurts or Bladder
0OtherS,

If you must have your meat
every day, eat it, but flush your
kidneys with salts occasionally,
says noted authority who tells US
that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in
their efforts to eXpel it from the
blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a
dun misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness. your stomach
suurs. tongue is coated and when
the weather is bad you have rheu-
matte tWinges. The urine gets
cloudy full of sediment, the chan
nels often get sore and irritated
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating
acids, to cleanse the kidneys and
flush off the body's urinous waste
get four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy here; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice. com
bined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, so it
no longer initiates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts IS inexpensive; cannot
iniure and makes delightful eff
