IT IS A KINDLY Last week the physicians attending the baby daughter
OLD WORLD AFrER ALL of N. G. Lauritsen of San Rafael, Cal.,
said it would die unless given a suply of healthy human blood by transfu-
fusion. The father advertised, offering to pay liberally for the assistance
needed.
Within a few hours he had thirty volunteers. Most of them declined
any sort of compensation. One, a veteran of two wars, offered to pay his
own expenses to the scene. His message, "If I can serve, command me,"
expressed the spirit of all. One of the candidates was selected, the opera
tion was performed, and it is believed the baby will get well.
We hear a great deal from many loud-voiced critics ot their fellow men
about the selfishness, the greed, the hardness of heart, the indifference to
human misery, the "materialism" of the present age. These accusations are
either the product of sheer ignorance or of resentment because the maker's
personal scheme for bringing in the millennium is not enthusiastically ac
cepted. The truth is that the average of mankind was never so pitiful of suffer
ing, and so anxious to do everything to relieve it, as today. Let a concrete
case, where it is seen that the aid will go straight to the object, be presented,
as it was in the case of this baby, and the response is instant and most ample.
There is not a community in this or any other civilized country where such
an appeal for a suffering child would fall upon deaf ears.
That is the glorious fact. Assertions to the contrary are foolish false
hoods. Human sympathy with distress is felt today as never before in .his
tory. The human race goes upward and not downward, it grows better
and not worse, as this old world grows older.
SECRET CAUCUS Representative Sibley Anderson, of Minnesota, has
SYSTEM made a timely protest against the secret caucus system of gov
ernment established by the Democratic majority in the present congress, and
has emphasized that protest by formal refusal longer to serve on the com
mittee of ways and means, of which he was one of the Republican members.
An essential condition of free and popular government is that it shall
proceed by discussion, in which all sides shall have a reasonable opportunity
to be heard, from the original proposal to the final conclusion. In the pres
ent congress the Democratic majority has practically suppressed discussion.
The tariff bill and the currency bill, the most important measures consid
ered, have been framed by the Democrats of the committees in charge of
them in secret session, with exclusion of the Republican minority members,
and with denial to them of a hearing by their Democratic colleagues.
From the partisan committee meeting secretly held the bills have gone
to the party caucus, also meeting secretly. Only when agreement has been
reached in the secret caucus, and its members are "sworn in" to support the
measure without change, has the minority been given any opportunity for
criticism or suggestion.
Not only has there been refusal really to hear what the minority might
have to advance, but the majority has
.argument that the minority might offer, however valid." This is the most
dangerous, undemocratic and un-American phase of the procedure.
We have heard a great deal from time to time, and especially of late,
about "invisible government" at Washington, and have been urged to arouse
ourselves against its dangers.
Here is the real thing. Here is
personal, hiding behind the locked doors
and concealing any sort of personal responsibility for its acts.

Hookworm disease has become a NATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH

Hookworm disease is the greatest enemy of the human race in the
tropics GREATER EVEN THAN CHOLERA OR PLAGUE. It

HARVEST TIME.
It is the season of harvest.
In the fields toil the farmer and his
men. . working hard to bring in the
grain before it becomes, too ripe and
before the sun or rain shall injure It'
Not since the time of plowing and
planting have the tillers of the soil
been so busy.
When the grain Is In comes the time
of rejoicing.
Work ended and the crop safely
stored, the farmer can sit back, smile
contentedly at his good wife and cal
culate his profits. Let us hope that for
all honest tillers of the soil it has been
a good year, uffpestered by drought or
untimely and excessive rain, and that
their fields have been unvisited by the
insect pests which cost us so many
millions of dollars every year.
Harvest festival time! ' -
Throughout the land the churches
and societies are celebrating the close
of the growing season. They adorn
their churches and their meeting places
with the symbols of their crops, with
fine specimens of the bounties with
which Mother Nature blesses our rich
ly endowed land. "
It is a goodly custom and a pleasant
the assembling In their accustomed
places of worship -of our people to re
joice over the garnering of the fruits
of the soil.
In the life of each man or woman
comes a harvest season.
Whether the crops be wheat or tares.
It comes to fruition In its own time,
and it brings joy or .sorrow to the
grower according to its nature.
"By their fruits ye shall know them"
is a true saying.
When the wagons bring to the barn
of your life their load.' will it be the
full, fat kernels of the wheat, the rich
ears of the corn, the glorious ripe
fruits which blossomed in the spring
in beauty and waxed big In the sum
mer in sweetness, or will the carts un
load at your doors the thistles and the
burdocks and the weeds of ugliness?
"As ye sow, so shall ye reap. Is true
in life as it is in agriculture.
If you wish the harvest to bring you
joy and wealth instead of regret and
misery yon must prepare the soil in
time, you must plant therein the right
sort of seeds, and you must cultivate
the ground in toil and patience.
You must water it with the waters
of righteousness and watch lest the
thieves of evil break in and rob and
lest the pestilential Insects of sloth de
vour your substance.
GOOD ROADS AND CHURCHES.
If the Walking or Driving Is Bad Peo
ple Stay Home.
Churches and schools, the two great
agencies for the upbuilding of any citi
zenship, are sufferers from the ilia
which come from thoroughfares of an
inferior type, says James R. Marker,
state highway commissioner of Ohio,
in a recent report. Decreased atten
tion during periods of inclement weath
er, when either to drive or walk im'
poses at the best a hardship and is of
ten an impossibility over poor roads,
cannot help but be the natural result
It cannot be expected that children
will be compelled to walk to school if
a sea of mud furnishes the only foot
ing, and this is too frequently true in
places outside the urban centers and
often so in the latter. Nor Is it to be
hoped that the horse will be employed
to find his path along the treacherous
road In order that the children may not
miss their lessons. Those who -deal in
statistics claim that good roads every
where would Increase school attend
ance not less than 25 per cent
' Preachers bear striking testimony as
to the effect miserable roads have
upon the attendance at the churches.
They can gauge it with accuracy, and
the percentage of decrease there Ic o
less than in the schools. Good roads
point not only toward larger audiences,
but larger contributions and less" dona
tion parties. Thus they become" a pow
erful agency for spiritual and educa
tional growth.

PERRY'S FIGHTING SIGNAL.
Behold the chieftain's glad, pro
phetic smile
As a new banner he unrolls the
while; .
Hear the gay shout of his elated
crew
When the dear watchword hovers
to their view

Sublime the pause, when down the

PERRY UNDER FIRE.
A soul like his no danger fears;
His pennant from the mast he
tears,
And in his gallant bosom bears (
To grace the bold Niagara.
See! He quits the Lawrence's side
And trusts him to the foaming tide,
Where thundering navies round him
ride - t
And flash their red artillery.
Old Song
PERRY'S HOUR OF TRIUMPH
As lifts the smoke what tongue can
fitly tell
The transports which those manly
bosoms swell.
When Britain's ensign down the
reeling mast -Sinks
to proclaim the desperate
struggle past!
Electric cheers along the shattered
fleet
With rapturous hail her youthful
hero greet;
Meek in his triumph as in dangei
calm.
With reverent hands be takes the
victor's palm;
His wreath of conquest on Faith's
altar lays.
To his brave comrades yields the
meed of praise.
. Tuckerman.
Perry ascribed the victory to "the
Almighty" and "the force under
my command."
WORTHY.
T MAT not reach the heights I seek;
- My untried strength may fall me.
Or halfway up the mountain peak
Fierce tempests may assail me;
But,- though my goal I never see,
This thought shall always dwell with me:
I will be worthy of it.
I MAT not triumph In success
Despite my earnest labor;
t may not grasp results that bless
The efforts tf my neighbor; '
But, though life's dearest Joy 1 miss.
There lies a nameless strength In this:
I will be worthy of It.

ILLUSIVE BEAUTY.
1HAVE loved flowers that fade.
Within whose magic tents ,
Rich hues have marriage made
With sweet unmemoried scents.
A honeymoon delight
A Joy of love at sight
That ages In an hour
My song be like a flower!
I have loved airs that die . .
- Before their charm Is writ -Along
a liquid sky
Trembling to welcome It.
Notes that with pulse of fire
Proclaim the spirit's desire.
Then die and are nowhere;
My song be like an air!
Die, song, die like a breath
And wither as a bloom;
Fear not a flowery death.
Dread not an airy tomb I "
Fly with delight, fly hence!

To feast; now on thy bier
Beauty shall shed a tear. -Robert

VALUE OF GOOD BOOKS.
Good boobs make "good citi
zens. 1 be man who has a col
lection of books in his home,
no matter how small it may be
in actual volume, is paving the
way for his children to become
useful men and women. If 1
bad my way no .home would be
without its quota of books. And
they should be the property of
that home'. I cannot too strong
ly emphasize the importance of
owning good books as well as
reading them. There is no feel
ing quite so satisfactory as the
pride one takes in the posses
sion of one's own library, even if
. not large, and it gives to the
home a distinctive atmosphere
which could come from no other
; source. In these days of popular
prices and expert production,
when well bound books by the
best authors are within reach of
all, there is little reason for the
failure of every home to have
books, owu these books and read
them. That is the advice I give
to all. As I pointed out in the
beginning, good books make good
citizens. That means that you
must first have them and then
read them. Just as the newspa
pers keep man in touch with the
work of the world day by day.
so do books bring him into
broader touch with the progress
the world is making in art. liter
ature and the sciences. Rudolph
Blankenburg. -
How the Term Originated.
Adam was out one night after- Eve
thought he should have got home, and
she cried.
He went to work without kissing her
next- morning, and she cried.
He told her once that her cooking
wasn't as good as his mother's would
have beeu if he had had a mother, and
she cried.
He let their first wedding anniver
sary slide by without noticing it and
she cried.
He gave her . a beautiful diamond
ring, and she joyfully wept '
Then Adam said to himself:
"Now I understand what the poets
mean when they say 'dewy Eve.'"
Judge.
The Water Bottle's Shape.
Three useful purposes and probably
many more than three are served by
making the familiar water bottle of
such a distinctive pattern. In the first
place the narrowness of the neck pre
vents the entry of much dust that
would inevitably settle on the water
were the entire surface exposed. In
the next place the same narrowness
prevents excessive and rapid evapora
tion of the water, and in the third
place the shape of the neck makes it a
capital handle, thus doing away with
the necessity for a separate handle
fastened to the body, of the bottle, a
course that would render It much less
convenient and more liable to be
broken. Pearson's. '
Sting of a Bee.
When a bee stings it gives its victim
a hypodermic injection of an irritant
puison. This is the bee's defense
against its enemies. In the abdomen
of the bee lies a gland which secretes
the poison. This passes down to a
double bulb in which it is stored until
needed. From the bulb a slender tube
passes through the sharp sting which
lies in a sheath. AVhen the bee stabs
its sting into the skin of the man the
muscles squeeze the bulb of poison and
a drop of this is squirted into the
wound. New York World. - ' ' ' -
