THE MAN WHO TALKS


 excellent one for the other fellow who | eats too much. It will add to the Euro pean stomach, and keep just so much | from our own-hence the double bless | ing. Dr. Talmage once said that the | American people dug their graves with | their knives and forks" " and he ought to | know because he suffered more or less | from indigestion. And we who have eaten at banquets and have seen others eat can believe this statement. To cut out 2 single supper will hardly make any of us reakze what little children of Aus tria and Armenia are suffering, who never had a square fee din their lives. Hence the proposal is not likely to work intelerable cruelty on any of us. The writer, riskfng the probable effect of such denial on his emaciated form, will | fall into line. and, with great moral he roism, will dispense with his usual bowl of bread and milk and will turn the value of the same over to the custedlans of this fund-no charge being made for administration expenses.
 I That dreaded tomerrow! I mean the
 '.temorrow" created by mans overstrain- ed imagination. wonder if any of these
 dreaded tomorrows ever pan out to be quite so horrible as they loom up before | our previously distorted fancy. The to-
 morrow that one would naturally dread the most is seldom dreaded at all because
 we know nothing about it It is the to-
 morrow that one would naturally dread the most is seldom dreaded at all C : cause we know nothing about it. i. It is
 the tomorrow that never heralds it's com 1 ing: it sends out no advance agents. But those tomorrows that we suspect to be full of impossible mountains usually turn out to only little mole hills, quite cas- fly surnountable whens approached. surmise that if tomorrow is approached fwith courage, determination, and care ! ful preparation. it will draw the teeth out of the dragon we have dJAaded The school girl has a nervous chill the night before those awful exams She sees dangl- Ing before her all night A minus and B . plus, covered over with horns and hoofs. But, little girl, have you put brains, blood and muscle into the terms work l? If>so. you needn't fear. If, however. you have just filtered away your time, then
 you ought to see, not only hoofs and t horns, but The Old Fellow Himself with , full equipment. But take courage for < exams have more lives than a cat. and : you win do better for having little . scare Next time you will meet A minus and plus with invincfble armor.
 When John Howard began his great . humanitarian work about the middle oi E the 18th century, prison life was nftet : out of pagan savagry. Before Howard. q advent there was no vestige of Christian 8 principle in any branch of criminology
 The c1lprit was not treated as a human
 being; his prison life begEars all de
 scriptien. John Howard, the reformer
 was the forerunner of Florence Night s ingaA, the nurse, and the work she dit '- in the Crimean war, was the beginninl n of scientific nursing as a trained profes 2 sion. A new feature has lately beer o added to the scope of scientific nursing ' and that is the care of the infirm an, aged. At first it was aid rendered t the wounded in battle and to those sic
 in camps. Then it's field was the dis IS eased in the civilian world; and now, t 'e those who are equal to the expense, tn l. infirm and aged come under their kind itl ly care This, doubtless has much t sr do with the increased longevity of tn '. aged.
