Acidity

The common cause Of digestive diff
culties is excess acid. Soda cannot
alter this condition, and it burns the
stomach. Something that will neu-.
tralize the acidity is the sensible
thing to take. That is why physicians
tell the public to use Phillips Milk Of
Magnesia.
One spoonful Of this delightful prep
aration can neutralize many times it's
volume in acid. It acts instantly; re-
lief is quick, and very apparent. All
gas is dispelled; all sourness is soon
gone; the whole system is sweetened.
Do try this perfect anti-acid, and re-
member it is just as good for children.

One-Track Spending.

We passed house the other day, on
a street near our home, that was being
. torn down. 1t was the home Of de-
voted couple that put every cent they
had in the world into it. 1t was their
treasure 1t now is their loss.
Their loss is the direct result Of "one-
track spending" Things went along
smoothly for years and all was serene.
Year after year savings went into some
improvement on or in the house. Then
came a succession of misfortunes.
First the elderly husband met with
business reverSeS. Then his wife be-
came ill., AS he increased the mortgage
to raise money he was discouraged to
learn that back taxes would have to be
paid or his beloved house would fall into
the sheriff's hands.
Then he fell behind in interest pay
ments on his mortgages and finally he
was forecloSed. The house Is already
down and a new apartment house will
obliterate its memory.
OF course, many of the improve
ments" were destroyed with the house.
Many thousands of dollars were lost In
the foreclosure proceedings and the
couple sacrificed that money for more
than 80 years in vain.
That sort Of "one-track saving" is but
one variety. There are instances where
families irnpoverish themselves to edu-
cate and finance some favored member
or members of a family or possibly

Better Than Giving Money.

Text: Silver and gold have none;

iii6.
Happy is the man who has money
to give and gives it cheerfully and
wisely. never wish for lot of money
except as I see so many opportunities
the way most of us talk when we
haven't much money. We talk about
what we would do If we were rich
But perhaps If we were rich we might
not be any more liberal than some
others who are rich.
The question is whether we are giving
what we have to give. silver and gold
have I none: but what I have give
thee" If we are not generous with
what We have the chances are We would
not be generous with wealth, even II
we possessed it in abundance. Wha,
we need is to turn our thoughts to the
principle Of giving. Money is not the
only thing we may give. We may give
other things as well.
We have ability to help people. We
can give that ability. We can give
kindness, hospitality and friendship
We can give an encouraging word tc
some disheartened soul. We can give
cheer to the weary. We can give COM

companionship to the lonely. And
after all, these things are of greater
value than money And there is fan
more need for these things. There are
more people suffering for want of love
companionship and kindness than fol
the want of material help.
It is we'll to give silver and gold, II
we have it to give and that is the thing
needed; but to dispense spiritual values
Is better than giving money.

Pierre Eyquem of Montaigne at 60
still went upstairs three steps at time,
could leap from the ground to a horses
back. and, when he particularly over
flowed with spirits, would walk around
a table on his thumbs.
The worthy proprietor of the Chateau
of Montaigne was famous throughout
the Valley of the Didoire, in Perigorde,
as a character" His mind was not
less active than his body. He was a
progressive, always acquiring new ideas.
In the sixteenth century he originated
a proposal which has since been realized
in modern advertising by the want
ads" of newspapers.
There ought to be-" he suggested, "a
place in every city where people in want
of anything can go and list their need
in book kept by public officer; as,
I want to sell pearls or I want to
buy pearls; L want a master or I
want workman, and so on and on"
Pierre Eyquem was 33 when he came
back to his ancestral estates from the
Italian wars and married Antoinette
de Louppes. The first two sons born
him by this good woman were educated
according to the customary methods Of
the day, but by the time the third ar
rived Pierre was ripe for trying out
certain experiments of which he had
| heard in Italy. This third son was
named Michel, more simply known to
later generations as Montaigne, author
principally of a volume of essays which
| has been read the world over and which
probably has been surpassed by no other
book of modern times in the extent of
! IT'S influence on men.
| To make the infant grow up humble
and sympathetic he had him held over
| the font by persons of low degree, chose
his godfather and godmother from
among peasants, put him to nurse with
! a sturdy village woman, and for time
! after he had been weaned kept him in
| the village so that he might become
| accustomed to hardy way Of living.

OUR CHILDREN
BIZ ANGELO PATRI.
Memorizing.

We ought to take care to see that the
children memorize good poetry and
prose. We do not do as much as we
could in that direction, fear. In the
lower grades the children learn goodly
number of rhymes and proverbs, but
usually as they advance in the grades
the memory work slows down. There
is so much other work to be done. And
yet the poetry, the fine prose, means so
much to the children in later years.
Select the quotations with due re-
gard to the childs state of mind, stage
of growth, tastes and abilities. Because
Shakespeare wrote magniflcently Is no
reason for making a nine-year-old boy
learn ITO be or not to be-" That Is
cruel to the boy and to the memory of
the great poet
Nor is it fair to make him learn "The
Captains Daughter" My hand is
against the captains daughter.
don't believe word of her, SO it would
do me no good to learn her story. But
there might be little girl somewhere
who adored her. Let that child learn
the poem and let the boy learn There
was a sound of reVelry by night"-if
he likes it.
The child must like the words he
learns. That he fully understand them
is not necessary. Indeed, it is impos-
sible. The words of the Twenty-third
Psalm have one meaning to us when
we are children and another when as
old folk we repeat them with full
knowledge of their value.
words will outweigh the content in the
beginning, but that does not matter
The memorizing is the thing
1t is easy for children to memoriZe
verse and prose when they are in the
early grades Of the elementary schools.
They are curious then about words,
about language, and all that comes to
them is welcome. 1t is then they
gather words as a collector gathers
use them again and again until they
are commonplace. Then they take
another group and incorporate them into
their language, so that it is enriched
and glorified by the words of master
writer's.
Any child can learn ten or a dozen
pieces in year. If those are reviewed
and repeated and kept well in mind
from term to term, the child has a
mine of riches to draw upon for the
rest of his life. If he has not acquired
the habit of memorizing by the time he
enters high school he is not likely to
acquire it with any ease or pleasure
later.
There are many sources of material
We begin with Mother Goose" and
work through to Shakespeare and the
Bible The field is wide and broad and
rich. 1t offers material for any kind
of child, to any sort of teacher. Let us
not neglect it. Speaking pieces" was
a good practice. Some form of that
festival should linger among us forever

cotton material showing small flower

For the girl over or 6. suspender
dresses are a good selection, the skirt
and suspenders being of linen or pique
and the little blouse of dimity or fine
linen.
For the very little girl the dress that
hangs from a shallow yoke or straight
from the shoulder is still the type most
often seen, but often there is an ar
rangement of gathers or tucks that
provides something of flare below the
waist line. For the girl over 6 there
is much to be said in favor of the dress
with a definite waist line which is
sometimes placed high enough to be
called normal" A charming party

bodice.
