Up-to-Date
We hear more and more every
day of Progressive and Reaction­
ary in politics. The popular ear
is keyed up to listen to the call of
Progress. But the popular ear is
just as truly out of harmony wiih
the spirit of real progress. That
and that only, is true progress
which makes for the welfare,
spiritual and material, of the race
Progress is attainable, not by legis­
lation, not by the faithful execution
of existing laws, for neither can be
had unless backed up by the will
and determination of the people,
but by and through education
Education begins in the nursery

If the home training of the child
is correct, there is a fair start for
life’s education, but there must
be no let up in the training. The
home, the church, the school, the

contribute their share toward in­

our descendants reap the benefits
of our labors and come to know the

“Prestige”
Strange are the ways of words. Of
which there is no better example than
the fact that “prestige,” which names
the power or Influence of a good repu­
tation, should have had its beginning
in the tricks of a juggler 1 Yet that is
how it started.
“Prestige” goes back to the Latin
“praestigiae,” meaning juggling tricks
—the same derivation as oùr “pres­
tidigitation” which is sleght-of-hand.
And the explanation of this strange
transition is in the fact that in the
myth and goblin-tenanted days of the
far-distant past, juggling tricks were
supposed to manifest enchantment,
which was regarded with the very
highest admiration and respect hence
“prestige.”
Not for Himself Alone
Man was not made for himself alone.
No, he was made for his country, by
the obligations of the social compact ;
he was made for his species, by the
Christian duties of universal charity ;
he was made for all ages past, by the
gentiment of reverence for his forefa­
thers; and he was made for all future
times, by the impulse of affection for
his progeny. The voice of history has
not, in all Its compass,. a note that
camp does not answer in unison with these
sentiments.—John Quincy Adams.

The trees known as “mangroves"
form dense thickets along the sea-
coast in the tropics of the old world
as well as of the new. They are char­
acterized by the production of many
prop roots from the trunks and
branches; these prop roots reach into
the mud and form practically impene­
trable tangles. They thus serve to
hold the mud together and are said
to act as natural sea walls, protecting
the soil against the inroads of the sea.
The bark of the tree is sometimes
taken for its abundance of tanning
material ; otherwise the several spe­
cies are of no economic importance.
In many of these species the roots
branch repeatedly before reaching the
mud. Instead of growing straight

Laugh tor Health
The diaphragm beats a tattoo on the
stomach when you laugh. Every time
you let go a good hearty laugh this
diaphragm pops up and down on your
liver, and helps to drive away the very
thing that gives you the blues—bilious­
ness.
Laughter is the best brand of pills
on earth. Laughter strikes in when it
comes from without, and Instantly
comes to the surface when it starts
from within.
You may laugh because you are hap­
py, and you may be happy because
you laugh. It is the one thing where
the cause is the effect and the effect is
the cause. Any man can be a million­
aire of good cheer.—Associate Con­
tractor.

Medical authorities agree that 65, per

much yoUnger) are afflicted with a disor­

legs and back, frequent nightly risings,
sciatic pains, are some of the signs—
and now a member of the American
Association for the Advancement of

symtoms and just what they mean. No
longer should a man approaching or
past the prime of life be content to
regard these pains and conditions as
inevitable signs of approaching age.
Already more than 10,000 men have
