Sin and Suffering Mere Adventures In Life

By ARTHUR CHRISTOPHER

SON, British Essayist

SINS, the ordinary sins of ordinary life, are not, as a rule, instincts which are evil in themselves, so much as instincts which are selfishly pursued to the detriment of others. Sin is in its essence the selfishness which will not co-operate and which secures advantages unjustly without any heed to the disadvantage of ot hers. Sympathetic imagination is the (•■al foe of sin, the power of putting oneself in the place of another. THE OLD THEORY OF SIN LANDS ONE IN A HORRIBLE DILEMMA, BECAUSE IT IMPLIES A TREACH EROUS ENMITY ON THE PART OF GOD TO CREATE MAN WEAK AND UNSTABLE, AND TO PUT HIS WEAKNESS AGAINST TYRAN NOUS DESIRES; TO ALLOW HIS WILL TO DO EVIL, TO BE STRONGER THAN HIS POWER TO DO RIGHT, IS A SATANICAL DEVICE. It is far more wholesome and encouraging to look upon manv disasters that befall us as opportunities to show a little spirit, to evoke the courage which does md rome by indolent prosperity, t<> increase our sympathy, to enlarge <>trr experience, to make thing'- < leaicr to us, to develop our mind and heart, to free us from material t <, mpt;v tions. PAST sUIIERfNt; IS NOT ALWAYS AN EVIL. IT IS OFTEN AN EXCITING REMINISCENCE.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

iiy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional ’remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When th;- tube is Inflamed you have a rambling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, -deafness is the result, and unless the ■inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for**er: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but i-T. inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by <atarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars. free. F. .1. CHENEY & CO., Toledo. O.

THE time was when questions were discussed in political campaigns by men who had made a conscientious study of the principles which lie at the foundation of government. CANDIDATES CAME BEFORE THE VOTERS WITH ARGUMENTS INTENDED TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS or to extend prosperity or benefit the people of the nation by their endeavors both in the party organizations which they represented and in the halls of the legislature* THOSE WERE-MEN WHO WERE STATESMEN ENOUGH TO OFFER SOMETHING AND TO MAKE AT LEAST SOME CLAIM OF REASON FOR THEIR DEMAND THAT ONE POLITICAL PARTY SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF POWER AND ANOTHER PUT IN. THEY GAVE THE PEOPLE SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT, AT ALL EVENTS, THAT WAS WORTH WHILE. But the strgngc peculiarity of recent campaigns is that we listen to scarcely anything nowadays but the abuse which some of the gentlemen engaged in it employ in their public speeches. It would almost seem as if they thought that an audience at a political meeting could find no GREATER DELIGHT THAN TO SEE ONE PROMINENT CITIZEN OF THE COMMONWEALTH OR ANOTHER STRIPPED OF HIS CHARACTER as a man and turned toward hatred or ridicule. Perhaps they do think so, but I do not believe that they are right.

Freiburg Method of Producing Twilight Sleep Has Come to Stay

By Dr. WILLIAM H. W. KNIPE.

THE Freiburg method of producing that state of mind called “Dam* merschbif,” or twilight sleep, bv the injection of drugs is ONE Til AT MUST BE ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY CARRIED OUT IN A HOSPITAL, and it may be advantageous for us to consider what arrangements in the hospital are best suited to his method of relatively painless childbirth. INASMUCH AS THE FREIBURG TREATMENT IS BOUND TO BECOME THE METHOD OF THE FUTURE, IT WILL BECOME NECESSARY FOR THE HOSPITAL TO HAVE PROPER ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THESE CASES. The one requisite for the proper induction of twilight sleep is quiet. The proper location of the room is on an inside court, where tlie least ' possible noise obtains. All care should be exercised that the noise from - the rest of the hospital should not reach the twilight room. This quiet . may be procured by double doors, padded doors,-rubber matting, etc. Besides quiet, means must he used to obtain darkness. It is not necessary that this should be intense, but all care should he used to prevent the entrance of bright light. I As the proper induction of twilight sleep requires the eon<htnt attendance of a trained physician or trained nurse, the management at , Freiburg SECURES INTELLIGENT NURSES AND "'TRAINS i THEM IN THIS METHOD, AND THEY ARE USED IN THE i OPERATING ROOM AND NOWHERE ELSE

Conflid of Men Leads to the Enfranchisement of Women

By Miss HEDWIG REICHER,

Tills war will bring about the cfii ramhiscmmit of German women, and life demand will come from the men. who stand amazed at the work of the women. With the men at the front it remained for the women to do the work of the«cilies. MANY OF THEM WENT DIRECTLY INTO THE BUSINESS OFFICES TO DO THE WORK OF THEIR MEN AND TO RECEIVE THEIR SALARIES FROM THE GOVERNMENT. AT THE OUTBREAK OF THE WAR THE IMMEDIATE PROBLEM WAS THE GATHERING OF THE CROPS, AND THE WOMEN OF THE EMPIRE TURNED TO AS ONE MAN SO THAT NOTHING OF THE HARVEST SHOULD BE WASTED. When the wonderful executive ability of the women was manifest the press of Germany began to sing (their praises. NOW ON ALL SIDES THE MEN ARE TALKING OE THE EFFICIENCY OF THE GERMAN WOMEN THERE IS NO DOUBT BUT TH \T .THE RESULT OF THE WAR WILL BE THAT THE MFX THEMSELVES WELL WISH TO GIVE THE VOTE TO THEIR WOMEN, for they will understand tl ie value of their comradeship They will realize that the women are not their rivals, but their partnerin the world's work. , ,

Street Waifs Only Need a Chance to Make Good on Their Merits

By THOMAS F. SCULLY.

SEVENTY-FIVE per cent of the boys ought never to be brought into court, they have never had a chance; they sleep in box cars and under sidewalks; THEY HAVEN’T ENOUGH TO EAT- * i THEY AREN’T ALLOWED IN SOME PA’RTS OF THE CITY TO PLA'i EVEN BASEBALL IN THE STREETS. ALL THAT MOST OF THESE BOYS NEED IS A WORD OF FRIENDLINESS. THEY AREN’T BEGGARS. GIVE THEM A CHANCE AND THEY MAKE GOOD ON THEIR OWN MERITS. ' Under the “big brother” movement seventy-live boys were taken in charge by members of the Elks fraternity. A Out of this number seventv 'four “made good.” The seventy-fifth left town and has not been heai-d from. - . 1 am not in favor of organized charities. The boy gets the idea that he is to be cared for from the cradle to the grave. WHAT HF SHOULD HAVE IS A CHANCE. BUSINESS MEN SHOULD GIVE HIM A CHANCE TO WORK FOR HIMSELF.

An Attempt At Conversion

By EUNICE BLAKE

“Jim.” staid Ned. “what do yon suppose has happened In our family?” “Whatr ’bailie has joined the suffragette movement. She's full of it, as all new converts are of the cause they are concerted to. She’s bound to march in a big procession they’re preparing for And, worst of all, it’s making her a man hater." “Edith has gone tbe same way. I’ve lectured and scolded to no purpose. She says that women have been subjugated long enough, and it’s time for them to achieve their independence.’’ “1 wonder. Jim, if you could have any more effect on Sallie than 1. I think admires you. Maybe if you a little attention and bring in your antipathy to tbe suffra gette movement* you might draw her away from it." “And you might try for the same result with Edith. But. Tor my part. I wouldn't come down on her fad at first Id out Herod Herod till 1 got some control over her. and then I'd put tbe screws on.” ■ ■ Right you are! If you agree we’ll start in at once. Will your sister be at home this evening?” “I reckon so.” A few weeks later these two young men met on the street where a parade of suffragists was forming. Each man carried a banner on which was inscribed ’’Votes For Women.” “Hello. Jiin'” ■’Hello. Ned!” “What you doing with that thing?” “The same as you’re doing with yours, 1 suppose,” “I’m playing suffragist In order to work my way into the good graces of your sister.” “And I’ni doing the same to ingratiate myself with your sister.” There was silence for a few minutes, each eying the other somewhat coir temptuousiy. “Seems to me.” said Jim, “that you look ridiculous holding up a banner like that.” “How do you.think you look your self?” ”1 couldn’t say it to any one except you. but I’m on the eve of an en gagement with your sister, and its arranged between us that if i’ll march just this once with a suffragette parade she'll have me. She says it’s a matter of pride with her before sheering ofi from the cause to show the sisters that she doesn’t do it to please any man. her fiance being in favor of votes for women.” “That's funny. I have the same arrangement with Edith.’’ “You have?” “Of course I have. Do you want me to keep saying it all day?” ~ “Well. I’ll be jlnged!” At that moment came an order to fall in. and each one of these young men shamefacedly took |>osttion in the ranks, and beside each was tbe girl he was converting. But the procession had no sooner moved than each girl dropped i>ehind the man with whom she h. ! made the agreement aforesaid and. taking a stuffed club from a neigh bor in the ranks, went through a pan tominie <»f striking the banner carrier before her. only the club was not per rnitted to reach his back The rouse quence was that tlie s|>eetators were enjoying a [»erfprmauce of which the principals .were ignorant. Finally a blow fell unintentionally on Ned’s shoulder. He turned and saw the ranks in the rear laughing at him. Throwing down his banner, he left the procession in high dudgeon. The lines moved on. and pretty soon along came Jim. whom Neds sister was treating in the same way Ned had been treated “Come out of that. Jim. You're mak ing a guy of yohrself. . Look behind you ” i Jim turned and saw a dozen or more women showing their pearly teethexcept those that were golden—and he. too. threw down his banner and joined his friend Tbe two elbowed their way through the crowds of spectators, not speaking till they reached one of those side streets whereon are located peaceful homes. "It’s my opinion.” said Ned. “that we’ve been done” “I think you're right.” “I could have told you that any such contract as that when made with my sister Sallie would be a snare.” “And I could have told you that any man who would make such a contract with my sister Edith was a natural born fool.” “Here’s the club. Suppose we drop in for rest and refreshment’’ “Suppose we do.” Later Ned received a phone message from Sallie that Edith would be with her In the evening and he was asked to bring Jim around. When they found the two girls together they were in formed that they had both confided their plan of conversion to others and -there had been a leak. The girls laugh ed heartily, but the boys couldn't see tbe joke. > 7be re was a coolness between Ned and Edith- and Jim and Sallie which, considering Hie position the girls had placed the young men in. bade fair to be Interminable, but a treaty of peace was finally concluded, the girls agreeing net er to do so again. The making itp proved very pleasant, and the boys found that the girls being suffragists was no reason why they would not Ils ten to a tale of love.
