All Of us have some special men
tai picture that rises in our thoughts
when we speak of Heaven"
Even the scoffers, the unbelievers,
the unfortunate men and women
whose creed is the very definite
creed of believing that nothing at all
follows human death. even they use
the phrase.
"The kid looked as II he was in
heaven" they say. Or, what do
you think this is-heaven?" Oh,
~heaven forbid!"
And heaven to them, and to all OF
us, may perhaps be most briefly de-
scribed as a place where there is no
pain. -
There is no place on earth Of which
that may be said, and so we mention
an unknown place, and when we say
heaven our thoughts float to tive
know neither its direction nor its
| Boundaries, and to define anything
about it is only to lessen its beauties.
The Hope Of Reunion.
To some persons, unquestionably, it
Is connected with material objects like
harps and white robes; to others,
streets of many mansions rise shining
under an eternal sun, and to many
! to so many there is always the hope
of reunion, of beloved faces smiling
again, and beloved voices breaking
the aching and unbearable silence Of
80 many hard years.
Some of the theologians become
definite and say that the joy of heav-
en- il contained wholly in the ecstatic
contemplation of and love of God.
But to those of us who know the
love Of man, Of father and mother,
sisters and brothers, husband, chill
lesser loves that spring from these,
Lesser loves that spring from these,
even that hard, big, incomprehensible
definition has its charm.
We find it easy to love men and
women, who reflect only tiny spark
of infinite good, and if to love God
Is only to love that infinite good, then
how simple the appalling task ap-
pears!
A Staggering Thought.
Meanwhile, We have our life here.
And why we are, or who, or whence
we come or whittier we 60, We know
now no more than we knew almost
two thousand years ago when an OBJ
scure Carpenter, later executed by
the State, expressed; the kingdom Of
heaven is within you.
Sixty generations Of men have
pondered upon these words; nineteen
hundred years of testing them by
VERY new discovery of science and
art have not proved them untrue.
This place of happines, of the love
of God and man, is within.
The thought is staggering.
For it proves to us that If we had

THE HEADACHE

In the back of the neck or base of the
brain is usually a direct indication o,
eyestrain, showing a weakness of some
one or more of the twelve little mus
cles which turn the eyes in their sock
cts, particularly those that turn the
eyes towards each other, as when look
ing ar near objects, as in sewing and
reading.
Glasses correctly fitted must relieve
these muscles as well as relieve the
eyes individually.
1t is the knowing what to do and
how to do it that gives the eye spec
ialist success where the ordinary spec
tacle filters fail. If you want thing
done right-a little better that the or
dinary-go to the person WHO does only
one thing and you are sure of having
it done right If you suffer from head
aches, the chances are you can get per

MOUNT BLANC sHRINks

New measurements of Mount
Blanc by scientists, reported in the
Scientific American, reveal the fact
that, instead of being 4,S10 meters
in height, it stretches but 4,S07 me-
tiers toward the skies. While some
authorities hold that the greater ac-
curacy of our present instruments is
responsible for this apparent shrink
age, others believe the loss to be
actual. From the brow of the
mighty mountain rises a snow cap
at least a hundred feet in thickness,
and in view of the unusual heat of
the past summer it is not inconceiv-
able that nine feet of this cap should
have melted away.

Free Explosives for Road and Fam
Work.

Farmers and road builders in the
Northwestern states, especially in Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho, are show
ing renewed interest, as spring ap
proaches, in the government distribu
ton under an act of congress of car
tridged picric acid, left over from the
war.
This cartridge picric acid is being
distributed by the Bureau of Public
Roads, the only expense being a
charge of seven cents per pound for
drying, cartridging, and distribution,
plus freight. Farmers, agricultural
colleges, state highway commissions,
road building contractors, road super
visors, county road commissioners, and
others may share in the government
distribution by writing to the Bureau
of Public Roads in Washington if they
are unable to make the necessary ar
rangements with their local state and
county officials, although the county
agricultural agents of the Department
of Agriculture are in most cases pre-
pared to assist those who desire to
obtain the leftover wartime explo-
sives.
Reports reaching the Bureau of Pub
lie Roads show that the farmers of the
Northwestern states mentioned are
finding the pierre acid the most de-
sirable explosive for blasting out
stumps.
The eartridged pierre acid blows them
to peiees without difficulty, leaving
no big stump on hand to be disposed
of with additional labor.
Many of the states have had ex-
cellent experience with the use of the
cartiidged picric acid, not only among
the farmers for stump blasting and
drainage work, but the state highway
commissions have used the government
explosive effectually and in large
quantities for extensive road building
programs. The explosive is available
not only to the state highway commits
sions, but through the state highway
departments to county road super
visbrs and county Tpad boards and
commissioners everywhere, where local
roads and highways are being built.
