The Road to Happiness for Men,
to Peace on Earth, Is Not
Charity.
The philanthropist has to give
an enormous purse nowadays to
ntlraet any great amount of at
tention, if attention is what he
is after. For the endowment, of
ducal ioual institution, the found.
ing ol hospitals, the building of
settlement houses, are in the
nature of the commonplace. In-
leed, tin1 multimillionaire who
Iocs not give more oMess freely
is unusual and Ins memory is
likely to have mud cast on it, if,
upon the reading of the will, it be
found that no public bequest has
teen made.
All this is encouraging as in-
liealing Hie spread of a spirit of
harity and the passing of crude
sellishness. Yet we must not
make the mistake of thinking that
philanthropy is the cure for what
ails Hie world. Too often, it is
resolution. Too often, it appears
to be (he case of the rich man try
ing to drive the camel through
the eye of the needle.
Enterprise has a right to claim
profit , but not to claim the earth
as the just profit. The ingenious
hould be spurred, the thoughtful
paid, the daring praised and
those who have the gift of leader-
hip rewarded, but not out of all
leserts and compelling the im
poverishment of others. The dif
ference between making wealth
and merely drawing wealth to
gether, as by a magnet, as the dis
tance between stars. The dif
ference between the development
of resources and the tyrannical
mastery of resources is the dif
ference between righteousness
and sin.
The road lo happiness for men,
lo peace on earth, is not charily,
but the distribution of goods so
fairly that every honest and in
dustrious man shall be assured of
independence of charity.

Hadn't Tasted a "Drap."
Joe Peters, the genial carpenter
working on the E. C. Wescott
Sons' building, received a jolt
yesterday that came near giving
:n nervous prostration. While
Joe was very busy in the entrance
working at putting in the door
frame or some such work, a gen
I Ionian from the rural district
who bad just completed sonn
purchases from Clen llavvls, th
iicconnnodat ing head clerk in the
establishment, gathered up hi
bundles and walked briskly
through the alleyway in the west
show window and attempted to
make his exit to Main street
through the heavy plate glass. The
loud thump the stranger made in
colliding with the glass attracted
Mr. Peters' attention from his
work, and when he realized what
had happened he nearly sank to
the floor, but had sufficient pres
ence of mind to beckon the aston
ished farmer back through Hie al
leyway lo the door. Ifefore an
other half hour elapsed the llrm
had the plate glass covered with
sufficient insurance to fix any
damage which might acme in the
future.

Inactivity.
Idleness is the mother of sin,
but il is also Hie mother of many
diseases, among which inactivity
of the liver is the most common.
Yon find it usually among those
leading a sedentary life, eating
rich food, drinking alcoholic
beverages lo excess without tak
ing proper care of their health.
They suffer from a bad taste in
the mouth, constipation, loss of
appetite, heavily coated tongue,
sallow and worn countenance,
headache, fullness after eating
and general weakness. In such
cases Triner's American Elixir of
Hitler Wine gives the best re
suits. It speedily cleans out Hi
body and keeps it clean; il drives
out all poisonous remnants of
food and at the same lime
strengthens Hie organs so Ihey
can perform I heir work. Use it
in all cases where good appetite
and bodily strength is desired.
