Mary Baker Eddy's Birthday.

Thousands of Christian Scientists from all
parts of the country gathered yesterday
Bow, New Hampshire, to observe the Tooth
In conformity with the expressed wish of Mrs.
Eddy against any ceremonial demonstrations
IN her honor the occasion was devoid of those
features which might be expected to mark
such occasion. Instead the visitors quietly
moved about the little town and viewed the
monument that the devoted followers of Mrs
Eddy erected in her memory several years ago.
That Mrs Eddy has exercised a great in
1uence on the world through her writings ana
teachings must be recognized no matter how
far you may be in disagreement with the claims
made for Christian Science And that inf1u-
encs grows, as is attested by the magnificent
places of worship that arising in various
parts of the country dedicated to the spiritual
practice preached by the woman whose mem
DRY was honored yesterday in her New Hamp-
sbiro birthplace.
It is not claimed that Mrs. Eddy, in her
writings. has given the world any light that
Is not contained in the bible Every word that
Mrs Eddy has written either has been taken
from the bible or inspired by that work. What
she has done is pointed in language that is
easy OF Interpretation the beauties and benefits
that are to be reaped through following the
Masters way. She has impressed upon the hui
man mind the necessity for keeping the COM
rnandments in order to enjoy full and healthy
life.
You may argue that it is not necessary to
embrace and practice Christian Science as
preached by Mrs Eddy in order to enjoy d
good Christian life. Very true. But the fact
remains that there are thousands who have
found a new light a fresh lease upon life,
new spiritual vision. through the application to
their daily lives of the admonitions of Mrs.
Eddy. Therefore the good that she has done
is doing and will continue to do must be
acknowledged
After all, there is but the one God and no
matter what your creed your reward can be
no greater sweeter than be that of your
neighbor just so long his living conforms to
the laws laid down by the Creator. You may
accuse your Christian Science ,neighbor of be-
ing an extremist in his spiritual practices. But
before you do so observe him in his daily acts
Is he a better neighbor for having embraced
the new faith or is he not? After all, this is
free country, and one Of it's greatest privileges
Is the right to worship God according to the
dictates of our own conscience.
Mrs Eddy is, through her writings, . living
influence for good She has helped humanity
and will continue to help it AS one extending
q helping hand to all who seek it her memory
should be held in sweet and grateful reverence
by her fellow citizens.

Business Revival.

Says the Chicago Journal OF Commerce: "A
people, that can buy automobiles at the rate
of 100000 a month can do business in other
lines if so disposed" The editor might have
gone further and said that when manufactur-
ers can make and sell that number of automo-
biles in a month it is a sign that business Is
not dead. 1t is not only the fact that buyers
and sellers are still able to do business when
they feel like it that holds out hope of an early
revival OF business activity. but the fact that
the time is about here when they will have to
do business whether they want to or not
Stocks in many lines are running low aud
the time of year is approaching when the mer-
chants will have to replenish their lines. This
means work for factory employees and distrib-
utors There are abundant crops of grain
throughout the country and the farmers are
selling their crops as they harvest them. H\-
ing liquidated their obligations they will have
to purchase supplies for their families and
new stock for their farms, including livestock
and machinery. The best indication, however,
of turn for the better is in the general feel
ing expressed that conditions are improving
When people begin to feel like doing business
they are very apt to find business to do.

Poe's Mother.

The Raven society of the University of Vir-
GINA is planning belated tribute to the moth
er of Edgar Allan Joe. The most picturesque
and tragic figure in American history studied
at the Virginia university for q time 95 years
ago. His mother died when her gifted son
was only three years of age, and she was, we
may suspect, happier for it Whether the rars
talent Of the poet came from his father, an
actor of some note, or from the gentle Eliza
beth Arnold, leading woman in a Boston stock
company. is OF course beyond determination
but we are privileged to one conclusion. Edgar
Allan Poe, despite his undoubted genius was
hardly an admirable figure OF a man, and knew
1t only too well. His abilities, naturally, were
his heritage from his parents and theirs. It is
easy to blame his shortcomings to his English
mothers early death.
An appropriate monument to Elizabeth Ar
mold Poe will be 6 graceful tribute to the son
she bore. Her grave, q paupers grave In st.
Johns church yard, has been unmarked too
long The erection and dedication OF a suit
able memorial cannot but direct deserved at
tantion TO the first American to compel the
applause and command the enduring respect

The Wisdom of Hoover.

Secretary Hoover may not have the wisdom
that his enthusiastic friends give him credit
for. But when he takes the public into his
confidence in a speech as he did in Boston the
other day, the reaction certainly is that he
knows what he is talking about He discussed
the industrial and financial situation of the
world in general and this country in particular
at some length, and concluded with the fol-
lowing: But when all is said and done the
real cure of all depressions is courage and
applied intelligence and the return to primary
virtues of hard conscientious toll and economy
in living. On every side there is evidence that
the vast majority of our nation is making again
al effort in those directions equaled only by
that of 1918. While our recovery may be
slower than some may expect, nothing can
prevent the prosperity of a country where the
people have enlightenment, wish to work, wish
to produce and wish to do right by their neigh
bors We are a nation of men, women and
children Our industrial system and our COM
merce are simply implements for their COM
fort and happiness. When we deal with these
great problems of business and economics we
must be inspired by the knowledge that We are
increasing and defending the standards of liv-
ing of all of our people. Upon this soil grow
those moral and intellectual forces that make
our nation great"
That is about the most statesmanlike and
inspirational utterance we have read for some
time.

Bonus for the Soldiers.

In connection with the proposed bonus for
the soldiers OF the World war it is well to re-
member that the citizens of the United States
lave always been true to the defenders of the
country on land and sea They will be no less
now But it is impossible to create wealth out
OF nothing or to borrow money in an exhausted
money market-exhausted not only in our
country, but throughout the civilized world.
Never before in our national history has our
country faced such appalling stumbling
block and such strenuous business conditions
But great as the magnitude of the task. Amer
lea will meet it and overcome all difficulties.
1t will require time, patience and persistent
effort but America will never halt in the full
fIlment of every obligation of gratitude and
honor.
If the legionaires do not get the bonus right
away they have the consolation that the vet
Grams of the Civil war had to wait much
longer time for their increased pensions justly
due them. Then, now, the delay was not
because of lack of appreciation of their serV-
ices to the country, but an empty treasury,
huge national debt, inflated values in process
of defation and burdensome taxation. But IN
time Uncle Sam rallied, the American people
earned the money from the soil. the factories,
mines and other sources of wealth. and squared
the account That is what will be done in the
present instance.

California growers are said to be receiving
fancy prices up to s12 box for their lemons

need but fear for the future that anirnates them
in their demand for higher tariff. In the
meantime the consumer ought to keep in mind

A few months ago you could buy lemons
practically at your own price due it was said,

This is a day. ordinary day
Like many other days that l have SEEM
lot of work I've had little play
A state of mind that's passably serene
Today I've worn the same old frowns and
smiles
That 1 have worn each day these many
years,
My moods have patterned on the same old
styles,
I've had the same fond hopes and silly fears
I've Iabored in the same old office chair,
Assailed my tasks as / am wont to DO;
I've tracked elusive wheezes to their lair
That l might bring them forth to show to
you.
The day has been the same-the same old
grind
One day of many days-and nothing more
And yet this fearsome thought comes to my
mind:
I'm not the man 1 was the day before!
Thus. looking back heave a tiny sigh
And wonder why the days so swiftly fee,
Why Time will never pause-I wonder why
This day has seemed so different to me! -.

And saw some "silyer threads among the

Why do I feel so different? Alas!

l. What is the value of catnep
tea as a remedy for babies and for
invalids? Is it injurious? 2. What
is hardening of the arteries? 8.
Is diabetes durable? Where would
you advise one to seek relief from
diabetes? 4. What is meant by
high blood pressure? Low blood
pressure? IT. H. W.
Answer. Catnep has the repu-
tation of being an antispasmodic,
wherefore it has been given infants
charged with having collie. Nine
times out OF ten the charge is IN
true; and in the tenth time the
catnep seems to have little if any
effect save to make the baby cry
all the harder. Catnep has been so
long a favorite of the grannies that
it would be cruel now to say it is
injurious. 2. Acknowledgements is a
disease of the arteries, one feature
of which is gradual loss of the
natural softness of the artery walls
and the increasing rigidity or brit
tleness Of the walls. 3. Diabetes

is becoming very dry and sallow. I
have tried cold cream nights, but
the cream seems to relieve it for
only a day or SO and also it opens
the pores. &C. b.
Answer-The fanciful idea that
any cream or medicament or wash

the pores need never deter one who
really knows anything about the
anatomy and physiology of the skin.
There are no pores, in that sense
Your skin requies oil. 1t may have
been bathed too much, especially
too much soap. Cold cream freshly

may be applied to the skin once or
twice day.
