She replied: Because I could get
nothing else to do. l lived down there

Cra.y Over Material Things.
l repeat that We have gone crazy
over structures above ground. We are
absolutely forgetting the greatest of
our resources-the great spiritual re-
source. upon which everything de-
pends. How shall we develop these
resources?
Certainly we are not developing
this great spiritual resource in the
public schools. The educational sys-
tenn was originally founded by the
church to train the children in the
fundamentals of Righteousness. Grad
away from this goal. and today the
purpose for which our schools were
started has been almost entirely lost.
In some states 1t is now a criminal
offense for school superintendent
to ask a prospective school teacher
what she believes or whether she has
any religion whatever! Under these
conditions. is 1t surprising that the
spiritual resources of our children are
lying dormant?
is due to the family prayers which were
once daily held in the homes of our
fathers. To a very large extent this
custom has gone by. Whatever the ar
guments pro and con may be, the fact
nevertheless remains that such family
spiritual resources to which the pros
perity Of the nation is due. The GUS
tom of family prayers should be re-
vived along with many other good New
England customs. which some modern
radicals may ridicule, but to which they
owe all that they possess.
A universal language with phonetic
spelling would do great things.
Today we laugh at those who are urg-
ing the teaching of Esperanto (and the
introduction of phonetic spelling) in the
schools of all nations. But a universal
religion may require a universal Ian
guage. Then there can be real league
Of nations. After this comes about, the
next step will be to eliminate the eco
nomic causes Of war. pull down the
tariffs and other barriers which are so
expensive for all. and cooperate in
greater production and cheaper distri-
button.
Phonetic spelling in itself opens won
when reprinted in phonetic spelling
would contain less than 500 pages. The
man who uses six typewriters would
then need only five. and so on. Ma
chimes are already invented that will
turn the voice into typewriter words
as soon as phonetic spelling is adopted.
This would at once eliminate the need
of shorthand work and many forms of
other clerical work Then it would be
necessary only to talk into a machine
and the finished product would come
out in typewriter form.

THERE'S DEATH IN THE POT''
\ Celebrated Lcrdcn Doctor Used the Above to Emphasize the Dauser of 0veresting. Worse Than 0vereatng is Failure
 ts Eliminate Waste.

Nature could not devise "a way to feed and repair the body without the production of considerable waste matter. But Nature provided for the regular, thorough elimination of such waste. To disregard her in- tention is to break a natural law.
 Whether you help Nature by wise or foolish means is left to your own judgment To simply force bowel movement is unwise, unnatural and ineffective. You can choose harsh, drastic, violently acting drugs or take such without caring what their action or effect is, or you can select some old time-proven, trial-tested remedy, that has been used for 70 years or more by thousands of people all over the world, with the result that it has won an enviable reputa- ton as reliable household remedy. Take Beecham's for example. All the world knows Beecham's; a good ly part of the world uses Beecham's, has been using it for years, handing it's use down from father to son, from mother to daughter, for gen. eration after generation, recomm end- ing it to others. In spite of such extensive and general use, who ever heard complaint or criticism of Beecham's? That in itself is a powerful recommendation.
 Don't take anything for granted. Reason it out. All druggists sell Beeeham's 's-are glad to sell them.
 Beecham's reputation has been made by it's users not by it's sellers

 Lebaudy Couldn't Spend 1t All.
 The vast Lebaudy fortune was not appreciably lessened by the 'tEmper- or's' a6venturers, since the principal is great. In that respect his spend inss were seemingly as powerless to ruin himself and family as those of the British lady.
 Most memorable in the history of recent American spendthrifts was Charles G. Gates, who once tipped a waiter S1,000. It is only fair to say that the man nearly dropped dead and, later revived, told the proprietor, who returned to Gates S9O0, the din ner having cost the other S1O0. Al though willing to throw money away, Gates, it was said. could not be beat en out of a nickel
 On a visit to Cody, Wyo., Gates met a minister clad in a shabby coat He not only got the clergyman new overcoat, but he cancelled the church debt At the same time and place a cowpuncher covered with his foot a note Gates had dropped, thinking the rich man would not notice it. But Gates's sharp eyes turned to look contempt at the man who tried to cheat him. He never spoke to him again.
