The Aim of Christian Education Dy REV. WALTER SCOTT. C Kristian education aims to make life a glorv instead of a grind, I to open a little wider the door of a narrow life, and to add power to the lens of the microscope or the telescope. It aims to take the drudgery out of life, to push one's horizon farther out, in order to give a clearer vision of life. It stands for high and noble pleasures that wealth cannot buy. It means character, wealth, a soul property which no disaster or misfortune can wreck or ruin. It makes you familiar with science and history and teaches you how to make life healthy and successful. It gives us au enlightened citizen | ship and imparts intelligence as to political and economic problems. It j brings the joy of self-discoverv, opening up rare possibilities in undis covered truths. It aims to have one’s mentality stirred by the passion of expansion, to feel the tonic of growth, the indescribable satisfaction which comes from the consciousness of perpetual enlargement. It aims to fill a few years with the most delightful associations and cultured people, at au age when ambitions and high ideals have not been dulled or shattered by disappointment, or the unbounded faith in human nature shocked by violated pledges. STAR OF THE MOVIES AFTER LONG YEARS By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY. (Copyright, 191G.) If I should meet thee After long years. How should I greet thee With silence or tears.’ Iu many a woman s heart there is longing to go back to the place wnere sue her girlhood, to find out what has become of the companions of her youth. If she can afford a visit to the old home, both her time and money In gratify ing the yearning are well spent. In the small towns far remote from the great city, the years that flow onward do not bring many changes, except that those who were rich ; grow rich and the poor poorer, me j woman who flatters herself that she has not changed much in the 20 years i she has been a wife, needs hut to wan der back among her old associates to have the truth that she has been rid ing swiftly along in Time’s chariot demonstrated to her. The old inn keeper and his good wife, who sat in the from pew of the village chnreh on the evening she was wed, failed to recognize her. The postmaster, a handsome, red-cheeked, cheery young man in those days, faces her now with snowdrifts among his sparse, dark locks, spectacles covering the eyes that had been so dark and sparkling 20 years before. He faces her with out the faintest gleam of recognition. His tongue loosens when she makes her identity known to him, and makes inquiry for the girls and boys w ho had danced at her wedding. Had Hattie j Vail and Harry Williams—the tvfo who had “stood up” with her—wed, or had Alice Shaw or Bessie Wells won him? The story of each separate love affair holds her interest ab sorbed. “They all come here for their mail of an afternoon. You may watch, if you will, and see which, if any, you will be able to recognize.” -Never had a wanderer who had returned to the old haunts a more exciting, pleasurable hour. She who.had been the beauty i of the village in those other days, was the first to enter—frowsy of head, with a faded shawl pinned about her shoulders, youngsters clinging to her skirts and a market basket on her arm. The village blacksmith’s wife - was not pleased to be reminded that | she had not made good her boast that . her beauty should win her a foreign prince, or at least a millionaire. The girl who had been the poorest, ret sweetest of them all, wa» wedded to one who had at last become mayor of the town, while the fair maiden who had been the haughtiest of them all, had wedded a circus clown to es cape the fate of being an old maid. The doctor’s daughter had married the undertaker’s son, a very suitable ar rangement The miller’s daughter and the village baker had also joined forces. Each and every lass and lad had wedded very differently from what ;hey had planned when time was young : with them. The come-ups and go downs among them were more inter esting by far than the pages of any novel could be. After a visit to the home of her girlhood and noting all that has transpired, the average wom an is prone to be more satisfied with j her own lot. The test of years proves that each one slides into the groove he or she was intended for, no matter what promises illuring youth held forth. We often pity those whom we thought we might envy. Study Would-Be Husband Like an Algebra Problem, Woman's Advice to Girls Girls of today would make better and more practical marriages if they were taught to study the qualifications of the men they meet and to con sider them in the same light as they do algebra problems at school, is the advice of Mrs. Prank Dechant. Mrs. Dechant drew a square on the blackboard, its four corners indicating what, she said, were the four neces sary adjuncts to a good husband—abil ity, reliability, endurance and action. To discover whether a man has these qualifications, she declared, was the problem every girl has to solve at least once in her lifetime, and she should be as carefully trained for it as she is for her school examinations. She advocated mothers talking over with their daughters the characteris tics of the young men they know, not only to gain their opinions on the sub ject, but to give advice and counsel to them for their future life. Every girl, she said, should be sure that the man she chooses has an abundance of the four qualifications before she makes up her mind to mar ry him. and she can only ho sure if she has been taught and trained be forehand in a calm, dispassionate man ner. She also advocated talks on home making, division of income and prac tical methods of housekeeping ns a part of ail girls’ education, whether they are working girls or not.—Phila delphia North American. Arline Pretty. Fortner ingenue of the spoken drama who first posed for the motion-picture camera about four years ago and made such a success in iter first attempt that she adopted the work for a livelihood But Neither Came Back A man who had just finished a com fortable meal at a restaurant the oth er evening suddenly rose from his chair, caught up his hat and umbrella that stood against the wall and rushed out of the building. “Stop him!” exclaimed the proprie tor. “That fellow went out without paying.” “I’ll stop him," said a determined looking man. who rose up hastily from a table near where the other had sat “He took my gold-headed umbrella Til stop him and I'll bring him back in charge of a police officer, the scoundrel2” Without a moment’s hesitation he dashed out of the house in hot pursuit of the conscienceless villain. And the proprietor, a cold, hard, unsympathetic kind of a man. has somehow begun to suspect that neither of them will ever come back. — Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph. City Furnishes Free Light.

QatHerecl Srrttles Figuring the Profits. “I suppose,” remarked the horse re porter to his friend the humorist, “that you make a good thing out_of your paragraphs.” ^ “Well, some days 1 make very little and other days not quite so much.” replied the funny man. “Now, take yesterday, for example; I only penned five lines, but it represented twelv* big round dollars.” “Well, that isn’t so worse for one day’s toll,” said the horseman. "By the way. what did you write?” “An order to my grocer for interior department supplies,” explained the joke carpenter. Rapid Transit. "Are tliose col ors fast?” asked the woman at the cheap dress goods counter. "They are the swiftest ever, mad am,” replied the truthful clerk. “Af ter they once get started they run so fast you couldn’t catch them with I a racing automobile. As Others See Us. Hazel—Don’t you think Mr. Cumso has rather an arch look? Aimee—Yes, now that you mention it, he is awfully bow-legged. Just So. “Why do you call life a hurdle race?” she Inquired. “Because we are always jumping at conclusions,” he replied. Doubtful Honor. Little Lemuel—Say, paw, what is an empty title? Paw—An empty title, son, is your maw’s way of referring to me as the head of the house when there are visi tors present. As Suggested. “Since leaving college,” said young Sapleigh. "I am at a loss to find any thing to take up my mind.” “If you will permit me.” rejoined Miss Knox. “I would suggest that you try a small piece ftf blotting paper." Paralyzed Him Anyway. The One—O a r friend Buttinski is suffering from nn athletic stroke. The Other—You mean a paralytic stroke, don’t you? The One—Oh. either is correct He was struck by a professional box* er. Another Point of View, “Brains will tell, my boy,” said the man who thought he was in the wist class. “Brains do not tell,” replied the con trary person. “If they did all tht world would be in the secret and brains wouldn’t be worth any more than the market price at a butcher shop. See?” Possible Explanation. Parker—Mrs. Howells evidently practices her pieces at home before singing them in the choir. Harker—Why do you think so? Parker—Because her husband never attends church. Well Mated. Windig—I’ve got a dog that can do almost anything but talk. Bifkins—Well, you and the dog ought to make a good team. Windig—What do you mean by that? Bitkins—About all you do is talk. Odd Facts. Fire is extinguished much more quickly by salt water than by fresh water. , It is a singular fact that, while hares are excellent swimmers, rabbits can not swim. Elm trees have been known to live 300 years. This tree is said to be in j its prime at the age of 150 years. A botanist says that flowers turn toward a lighted electric lamp just as : they turn toward the sun. About 4,000.000 tons of herrings are caught in Japan every year. This enormous quantity is not used only for human consumption; about four fifths of it are used as a fertilizer for the rice fields. The “Czar Kolokol”—the great bell of Moscow—is said to be the largest In the world. It weighs nearly 200 tons—about twenty times as much as Big Ben. Bread is made from chestnuts by the mountain peasantry in Italy and France. After the nuts have been blanched they are dried and ground. From this flour a sweet and heavy i cake Is made which resembles the oaten meal cakes so popular in Scot land. One of the most beautiful of the early lighthouses, and the first tower in a sea-swept position, was Cordsuan light, on the cwist of France at the entrance to the River Gironde. It was built in 1611, and, although it has been remodeled, some of the original struc ture is still there, over 200 feet high. Where Sneezes Grow on Trees Among ltd man v freaks of nature. South Africa includes the “sneeze wood” tree, which takes its name from the fact that one cannot cut it with a saw without sneezing. Even in plan ing the wood it will sometimes have the same effect. Mo insect or worm will touch it; it is very bitter to the taste, and its specific gravity is heav ier than water. The color is light brown, the grain running very close and hard; it is. too. a nice-looking wood and takes a good polish. For dock work, piers or jetties it is a most useful timber, keeping sound a long while under water. Payer and Payee George W. Perkins was talking at a t dinner in New York about a multimil lionaire. “He's honest,” said Mr. Perkins, dubi ously. “Oh, yes; he’s as honest as the day is long. Of course, the days are shortening now, aren’t they? “Anyhow, he said to me once: “ ‘Perkins, I’m one of those old-fash ioied codgers who firmly believe that honesty pays.’ I “Then he gave me an enigmatic nudge with his elbow and said: “ ‘And I believe just as firmly, Per kins, that dishonesty gets paid.’ ” Potatoes on School Roof. In Dresden, Saxony, there is a tech nical high school building heated by electricity taken from a power house, and potatoes planted on the roof of the schooihouse have produced an excel lent crop. That is one of the combina- I tions of educational institution, Indus- ; try and agriculture, by which the Ger- j mans claim they will be able to resist . their enemies for years to come, and never go really hungry. Chauffeur to Joffre. The Poilii, ii lively little newspaper produced in the French trendies, prints this Joffre story: The generalissimo's chauffeur, f--. was chatting with s .me sol diers. “Well." thej asked him, "what does the general say?" “Oh, not madi: lie talks verv lit tle." “But yes—” “Well, the other day. for instance, in getting into tlie car, he said: ‘Tilings all right, I--‘Yes. gen eral,’ I replied.” “And was that all he said?” “Another time he said to me, ‘You have a very pleasing appearance, L-.’ 'Y'es, general,’ I replied.” “But does he never speak about the war?” “Oh. not often. But yet—the other day he did say to me. 'Ah, my brave L-. when is tin's war going to end ?' ” Had .it Over Washington. First Thinker—There's one way I have it over Washington.

CMcnm Doctor Says Nuxated Iron Will Increase Strength of Delicate People 200% in Ten Days In Many Instances—Persons Have Suffered Untold Agony for Years Doctoring for Nervous Weak ness, Stomach, Liver or Kid ney Disease or Some Other Ailment When Their Real Trouble Was Lack of Iron in the Blood— How to Tell. NEW YORK, N. Y.—In a recent dis course Dr. E. Sauer, Specialist, of this city said: If you were to make an ac tual blood test on all people who are 111 you would probably be greatly as tonished at the exceedingly large num ber who lack iron and who are ill for no other reason than the lack of iron. The moment iron Is supplied all their multitude of dangerous symptoms dis appear. Without iron the blood at once loses the power to change food into liv ing tissue and therefore nothing you eat does you any good; you don’t get the strength out of it. Your food merely passes through your system like com through a mill with the rollers so wide apart that the mill can’t grind. As a result of this continuous blood and nerve starvation, people be come generally weakened, nervous and all run down and frequently develop all sorts of conditions. One is too thin; another is burdened with un healthy fat; some are so weak they can hardly walk ; some think they have dyspepsia, kidneyj or liver trouble; some can’t sleep at night, others are sleepy and tired all day; some fussy and irritable; some skinny and blood less, but all lack physical power and endurance. In such cases, it is worse than foolishness to take stimulating medicines or narcotic drugs, which only whip up your fagging vital powers for the moment, maybe at the expense of your life later on. No matter what anyone tells yon. If you are not strong •nd well you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nux ated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous, run-down peo ple who were ailing all the time double, and even triple their strength and en durance and entirely get rid of their symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days’ time simply by taking iron in the proper form, and this, after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. You can talk as you please about all . the wonders wTought by new remedies, but when you come down to hard facts there is nothing like good old iron to put color in your cheeks and good sound, healthy flesh on your bones. It is also a great nerve and stomach strengthener and the best blood builder in the world. The only trouble was that the old forms of inorganic iron like tincrnre of Ircu, Iron acetate, etc., often ruined people’s teeth, upset their stomachs and were not assimilated and for these reasons they frequently did more harm than good. But with the discovery of the newer forms of or ganic iron all this has been overcome. Nuxated Iron, for example, is pleasant to take, does not injure the teeth and is almost immediately beneficial. NOTE—The manufacturers of Nuxated Iron have such unbounded confidence tn its potency that they authorize the an nouncement that they will forfeit $100.00 to any Charitable Institution if they can not take any man or woman under sixty who lacks iron and increase their strength 200 per cent or over in four weeks’ time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. Also they will refund your money in any case in which Nuxated Iron does not at least double your strength in ten days’ time. It is dispensed by most druggists. If your druggist or general store is without a supply, ask them to get it for you —Adv
