Whoever baa begotten by pure love.
And came desired and welcomed Into life,
la of immaculate conception. He
Whose heart is full of tenderness and truth, '
Who loves mankind more than he loves himself,
And cannot find room in his heart for hate,
May be another Christ. We all may' be ;
The Saviours of the world, if we believe ,
In the Divinity which dwells in us
And worship it, and nail our grosser selves,
Our tempers, greeds and our unworthy alms
I'pon the cross. Who glveth love to all,
Ty kindness for unkindncss, smiles for frowns,
And lends new courage to each fainting heart,
And strengthens hope and scatters joy abroad.
He, too, is a Redeemer, Son of God.

I have nut many people who did not
talk of their beliefs. I have met fanatics,
lend crunks even, who were silent regard
ing their ideas until asked to talk.
, But I never met an atheist or any ln
Ifldel who wag not voluble and aggres
sive In argument, and insisted on talk
ing on the subject of religion.
' Thousands of believers In various creeds
jure contented to permit their fellow men
other faiths, or no faith at all, thinking
'It is a personal matter between the indi
vidual and his Creator.
The atheist, however, la violently op
I posed to allowing any man a faith in a
livlne Power or a hope of Immortal life.

n the face In the effort to take away the
mforttng belief of a devout soul.
I think any creed which teachea that
the Overruling mind of this universe is
cruel and petty in its treatment of the
jfcelngs It has created should be destroyed,
because such a creed makes human beings
cruel and petty toward one another.
It waa the preaching of the horrible
old hell-fire doctrines of an Ignorant age
'which made the first infidels and un-
' believers. Because intelligent and Just
minds refused to accept the doctrine of
i Infant damnation and the fall through
Adam they .were called atheists. They
preferred that title to being classed
among the believers in such a cruel God.
But we have in the land today a more
violent and aggressive class of atheists
'.men who become abusive toward any one-
who expresses any faith m the contin
uance of life beyond the grave, no mat
ter how broad may be the creed of that
ne. - "'
Any man who In his own mind har
bors a creed which condemns hla fellow
' men to damnation for not believing as lie
dors needs to be educated eut of it, since
he is adding to the misery of the world
by hla thoughts and helping to keep hu
manity in chains of ignorance.
But any man who has a creed base!
on love and. kindness, no matter whethc,
' It be Tagan, Jewish, Oathollo or Pro
testant, and who exemplifies his faith by
tils actions, should be left to the enjoy
ment of it unmolested by the agnostic or
the atheist.
Tersonally I vslue my fixed faith in, a
Tilvlne intelligence and in a succession
of lives more than I value all other
things which could be bestowed upon
me by the united powers of earth.
Could 1 have the wealth of all the
billinnalrea of the world, the beauty of all
beautiful women united in my person, the
genius of all the greatest minds and un
disputed power, yet be deprived of all
faith In any life beyond this and of any
K'reator. I would not resign my belief.
Thai belief Is broad and unorthodox,
and I" based on love. It telle me that love
is the creative power of the universe
pnd the reforming and healing power of
humanity. That hate, anger and revenge
and selfishness are the only hell.
It tells me that heaven must begin here
mi emth, within our own hearts, or we
will never find it anywhere; that each
man Is his own savior, and that unless he
mvps himself by thoughts and acts of
lme no one In heaven or on earth can
ave him. It tells me that we build our
own future lives hour by hour by our
thoughts and deeds, and that we will
dwell in "heaven" with the same order
of disembodies Intelligence as we our
selves are. That prayer Is merely wire
less telegraphy through space, and Is
received by unseen beings and answered
by methods not always understood by us.
No thought or act Is ever lost, but lives
forever, while evil dies of Its own un
worth after working out lis law of effect
upon the doer, here or elsewhere. That
this creed might displease the religious
fanatic I can understand; but, strangely
enough, I find less antagonism from that
source than from the atheists who insist
upon a vain attempt to deprive me of any
belief In Mfe beyond thla earthly span.
l'csist, good friends, I pray you. As
well might the unlettered man seek to
deprive the one who had learned to read
of his education. My soul has mastered
the alphabet of Immortality, and is learn
ing more of God's wisdom dally.
It cannot unlearn at your bidding.

Cough medicines, as a rule contain a
large quantity of plain syrup. A pint of
granulated sugar with V pint of warm
water, stirred for 2 minutes, gives you
as good syrup as money can buy.
Then get from your druggist 2H ounces
I'inex (50 cents worth), pour into a pint
bottle and till the bottle with sugar

64 rents, a full pint of really better cough
syrup than you could buv readv made for
$2.50 a clear saving of nearly fi. Full
directions with Pinex. It keeps perfectly
and tastes good.
It takes hold of the usual cough or
chest cold at one and conquers it in 24
hours. Splendid for whooping cough,
bronchitis and winter cougba.
It'a truly astonishing how quickly It
loosens the dry, hoarse or tight couga
and heals and soothes the inflamed mem
branes in the case of a painful cough.
It also stops the formation of phlegm in
the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end
ing the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is a hlirblT concentrated eom-
4 Jaoiuined with guaiacol, and Las been
fused for generations to heal inflamed
membranes of the throat and chest.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for "2V4 ounces of Pinex," and

Here Is a tip to mothers:
Watch your young daughter's friends.
Scrutinize carefully her men friends, for
many wolves there be In sheep's cloth
ing. Keep a wary eye on her girl friends,
because birds of a feather are supposed
to flock together, and one silly, loud,
Indiscreet young person can compromise
all who associate with her. But as you
value your daughter's safety, turn a
searchlight of Investigation upon the
character and antecedents of her mlddle-
aced women acquaintances.
Theae women have grown old and fat.
Their joints are stiff. They have lost
their good looks. They can no longer
attract men of themselves. Men no
more are willing to blow In their money
on them for luncheons, and little dinners,
and theaters, and cabarets, and suppers.
But the women are still avid for mas
culine attention, and for good times.
So the heartless, conscienceless woman
looks about her and picks out some
pretty, fresh, innocent young girl that
she can use for bslt. Generally she
selects a girl who is in a humbler social
set than her own, and lesa well off a
girl to whom the gift of a pretty frock
or two will mean much, and who Is en
chanted at riding in a limousine and
sitting in a box at the opera.
Apparently Mrs. Smartley has become
the patroness of little Miss Dowdy, snd
little Miss Dowdy U so pleased and
grateful, and little MUs Dowdy's mother
Is so flattered, and brags about it to all
of her friends, and tells how Mrs. Smart
ley just can't do anything without
Mamie, and what a privilege It is for
a girl to have as a friend a middle-agcJ
woman who takea her about with her
everywhere.
Yes, Mrs. Smartley Is looking after
Mamie, as the cat looks after the mouse
she is playing with. Mrs. Smartley takes
Mhmle with her for the potent reason
that Mamie is the lure that tolls men
back to her. No man will Invite Mrs.
Smartley alone out to lunch or drag hr
avordupols about a dance floor.
Mrs. Smartley is perfectly aware of
this, and so she goes to the telephone
and calls up some man and says: "I've
got the prettiest young girl you ever
saw with me. Regular living picture.
Just 20, and fresh as a rose. And dances
like a hit of thistledown. Don't you want
to meet us somewhere for luncheon, and
afterward we can go to a dance?"
And the man goes because of the young
girl. He and Mtrs. Smartley understand
each other perfectly. And because she
gets the old woman the pleaaurea that
she desires and cannot get for herself
the girl is taken to places that no young
girl should frequent. 8he la Introduced
to men ahe should never meet. She la
taught to drink things she should never
taste, and lessons In life that innocence
should never learn.
Many a young girl is started on the
road to perdition by Just such an older
woman. And many a girl who stops
short of taking the final plunge has her
life ruined by such association because,
she has been given false Ideals, and
acquired a taste for the bright lights
that make domesticity every afterward
seem dull and monotonous.
Just because these women sre more
sophisticated and worldly wise than a
girl's own mother, their Influence is
greater than hers, and because they
frankly preach the doctrine of living
while you live, they make the most dan
gerous appeal possible to the youthful
Imagination and thus become the great
est possible peril to girlhood.
Because of this danger, mothers, be
suspicious of your little girl's friendship
with older women. Don't let your Inno
cent little daughter be used ss a decoy
dove.'

In the candle of my flames glows the face of Mary. Mary! There
Is a name! Ivy and Ruth were blurred In my mind when the first
years of high school came, and with them Mary. Here I waa leaping
ahead into the years as a man's mind leaps ahead of him as he
writes on the typewriter. I remembered nothing. I dreamed ahead.
Now now I am looking back and wishing again for Ivy and
the days of my old straw hat. Then I was wearing my first long
trousers and dreaming of top-hats. Mary came golden of hair
real gold. Not the fine pale sun-color of Ivy's little gypsy head but
dusky-gold with a thread of brown glinting through. I seem to have
been magnetized by woman's hair. Mary's was thick and soft, and
deeply waved and It hung in fat, stretchy ringlets over her shoul
ders. I will never forget how It fanned out from her face in the
shape of a golden clock.
Her eyes were brown velvet brown. And Mary's manner was
as soft and velvety as her eyes. She had a thrllly laugh. I was 15
then and Mary was, too. She sat in school far across the room
from me and I watched her golden bead the first day and wondered
shamedly If ever she might walk home with me. She wore little
gray frocks with red velvet on them. And her cheeks were like
peaches almost tea-rose pink.
I carried home her books one day and my heart beat In my
throat like a fist there when her curls bobbed against my shoulder
and the rustle of her skirts brushed me by. She walked with little
steps and a swing to her soft shoulders that was a delight. She bad
an epchanting little habit of lifting her brows in the middle and
crinkling her uuse. I teased her, I remember, to call up this trick.
' a j
She was "strong on" science. And could draw crabs and grasshop
pers In her notebook with a shine to their backs that left me stunned
with admiration! So with my science ahe helped me her gold head
bent thrillingly close to mine.
1 never kissed Mary. No. But sometimes my mind almost
thought of the wonder of ever doing it and then veered away in a
scared fashion. She it was who dragged me through science many
a time when 1 teetered on the anguishing fence between a flunk and
a passing mark and gave me the little push that helped me to fall
on the right side. I who was a master-mathematician proved the
hypothesis of things to her bewildered little brain.
I took her to the school dances. And sbo went in pink and blue
fluffy things that I had to be very careful of. For I still had boy
feet. I carried her slipper bag. And I suspect 1 know that at
these state affairs she put talcum powder on her small nose.
Here came to me the first soft lure of feminine ways and femi
nine things, and the belief In them. The soft lace at throat and el
bows the satin sheen of her girdles the tucking in of ber ador
able rbln like a bird's soft breast the bows on her slippers the
tiny fan she carried and flirted softly.
My growing heart was enchanted with the wonder of Mary, who
was a girl-girl! And here I first touched bands and cared to help a
girl across rough places. Here I first eyed and pondered on Mary'a
smooth hands her thin pink nails like bits of satin feld spar and
approved of beauty and daintiness. Ivy's hands had been brown.
Drown! And I hadnt cared. Now there were distinctly boy-hands
and girl-hands and mine look mighty big ! Mary shines in the
fourth candle of my flames the fourth but Mary waa the first glow
of the mysterious star-shine that woman means in man's cloudy sky.
No. Mary didn't move away. I came east to college. I wrote
to Mary for a long time.. And then Mary married!
NELL DRINKLEY.
Our Deadly
Habits
No. 1 Drinking at Meals
By WOODS lit TCHIXSOX, M. D.
How many repetitions does It take fov
nonsense to become accepted as the
farted truth?' Not very many, appar-'
ently, provided Hint It la once enunciated
with sufficient solemnity and perpendicu
larity of front. The world la full of
"wise sawa and modern Instances," which
most people accept as Implicitly and un-
(Uesttnnlngly as they do the law of
I gravitation if they happen to know w hat
that Is.
All that Is necessary, apparently, la to
'get a thing said, a rule printed In the
j text books (and so-called scientific text
'hooks Were Just a bad as the vlllag
whisker club until twenty or thirty yeare
ago), and then It does the reat aad per
petuate Itself automatically. " '
Tor Instance, of ail the popular rule
of health which were preached to the
young In the past, and Indeed the pres
ent generation, none was more undis
puted and mote universally accepted as
gospel, whether lived up to or not, than
the dictum that you must not drink water
with your meals; or. If you did, as little
as possible.
Fortunately, like most of our creeds,
nor.e of us sucoeeded In living up to It,
and now our perverseness and our heresy
have been triumphantly vindicated.
The law has actually been tried out
upon half a dosen different squads of'
student valunteers on both sides of tha
Atlantic, with the triumphant and unani
mous finding. In every test, that the
squad which drank the most pure water
with their meals, ate the moat food, did
the best work, enjoyed the best health
during the experiment; and got rid of
their food waste cleaner and better than
those who drank small amounta of wates
or none
The squad that drank the least water,
either none at all. or leas than half a
glata. came out at the foot of the list
In every one of these categories.
In fact, there la every reason to
shrewdly suspect that the real basis of
this ancient saw was. like so many ef
our so-called health precepts about food,
nure stinginess. Because the less water
ithe household drank at their meala. the
lesa food they consumed, and the lower
the cost of their grocery bills.
