TO 1912 AN APOLOGY. What will you say to us, bring to us here, O bland, mysterious beckoning Year, When all of your morning and midnights have fled, When all of your story is written and read; And what, O, Year, shall we bring to you? Of shame and blame, of laurel and rue! We prale of tales that the Old Years tell, Of hate and heredity, heaven and hell; We talk of Man, his predestined path, His day of doom and bis God of wrath; And yet, unresting, from noon till eve, Tis the pattern of Life that our fingers weave! We gloom on things as they Were and Are; Of the doves of Peace and the dogs of War; And some of us yearn for the Days of Old. For that glamorous, traitorous "Age of Gold!" And yet, unheeding, we mold the clay That shapes Man's Destiny, now, today! What shall we say to you, bring to you here, O wonderful, exquisite, lyrical Year? So pliable, possible, promising, dear. So chock full of hope and so brim full of fear Like children we'll use you, abuse you, berate, And then, when we've broken you, blame it on Fate!

I was so favorably impressed that I placed them upon our Chautauqua program, which alone 1b a sufficient testimonial of my appreciation. They appeared on the same program with the Weber Male Quartet and the Chicago Lady Entertainers. This Club gives entertainments which are both highly edifying and pleasing.

His Landlady's Advice Probably Saved His Life.

I feel that Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot saved my life. I inherited weak kidneys. The discharge was so frequent and painful that I would have to stay in bed to obtain temporary relief. I consulted good physicians but the results were disappointing. My landlady advised me to try Swamp-Root as the last resort, which I did and I was quickly relieved. I continued taking Swamp-Root and my weight has increased fifty pounds. My health is of the best and I have told many others about Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and have done a lot of good in this way. Your wonderful medicine is of great value to mankind. Yours very truly, J. H. BRUXBY. 855 Main St. Pawtucket, R. I. The above statement made before me I declare to be truthful in every detail. Thomas Marsden. , ' Notary Public.

Letter to Dr. Kilmer A Co, Binghamton N. Y.

PIDNT WANT TO EAT Had Severe Stomach Trouble la All- - right Now. Experts declare that much of the dyspepsia and loss of appetite so common in this country is due to the use of preservatives in foods. But much more likely it Is on account of hasty and careless habits of eating. Our delicious cod liver and iron preparation without oil, Vinol, has restored appetite and digestion to thousands of people who had despaired of ever being able to enjoy a meal again. Fred. Oberlander of Schnectady, N. Y., says "I had stomach trouble for two years and they were years of terrible suffering. I did not want to eat, and what I did eat gave me pain. My health ran down too. Since I have used Vinol my stomach trouble has vanished, I eat heartily, and never felt better in my life." If you are rundown and weak, cannot eat or digest your food, you need Vinol. It will do you great good. You can have your money back if Vinol does not do all we claim. Leo. II. Fine, druggist, Richmond, Ind.

The Wisdom of Fools. Folly, in the abstract, has been de nounced alike by Scripture and ancient heathen sages. "If I wish to look at a fool," says Senecn, "I have not far to look. 1 have only to look in a mirror." The Emperor Maximilian distinguished the dullest of his counselors by the title of the king of fools. Once when he ad dressed a prosy adviser by this title the gentleman neatly enough replied: "! wish with nil my heart I were king of fools. I should have a glorious kins dom and your imperial majesty would be anions: my subjects."

Favorite Furs For Children. Straugeiy enough, baby lamb is one of the favorite as well as one of the best looking furs for children's coats, being equally suitable for all ages from five years up. They are usually fashioned in straight lines and self trimmed. Ermine is beautiful witb the lamb; but. sadly enough, it is ir.ucli tuore appropriate for the matron, although ermine by itself, a small collar with muff, is always smart for children. For small childreu the fur coat

means a risk of taking cold, although it is usually so "cunning" that it is not to be wondered that mother is tempted. It is too warm, however, for the active child. Velvet of all kinds Is In high favor for suits, dresses and coats, even the figured weaves being brought into the running. An attractive model designed for a pirl of twelve is made with a diagonal fastening up the front, sleeves that are cut in oue piece with the body and the whole outlined with black fox. There is no collar, but the neck is cut high, with only a narrow point in front and the fox edging for a finish. At the lower edge the left fastens over the right side after having been cut to a rounded point that leaves it several Inches shorter than the other side. It fastens with three bone buttons ranged along the edge instead of one above the other. ' Toach Children to Think. One of the new ideas upou education is that children should be encouraged to think more and to leave dry facts alone. It is said. too. that we cram a

lot of facts down the minds of our

children and do not give them an opportunity to use their brains. This new idea- in education says that we must

take children oftener out into the woods to let them discover things for

themselves. We should let them watch

the habits of insects and animals and the ever varying phases of nature. We should let both boys and girls study mechanical organism of things that are

in daily use in our big cities. For instance, a boy or even a girl who happens to be In the vicinity of an automobile when it breaks down might by intelligent observation learn a great deal about the makeup of one of those modern conveyances if let alone to watch the machinist go about adjust

ing the matcumes. say an exenauge. A very much disgruntled little girl was overheard saying to ber father and mother, who had dragged her away by the hand when she ran with her brother to watch a man in the roadside who was tlxius his auto: "Oh. you let John

nie stay and look all he wauts, but you j chase me away. 1 like to look at the I

man fixing things too." Which shows that little girls sometimes waut to investigate. The Baby's Bath,

The temperature of the child's bath varies with its age. At birth the wafer should be about blood heat. 9fi degrees, j

inis may ie grauuaiij reuu .' degrees by the end of the first month. Baby's bath should always be takeu before breakfast. The child should not be allowed to frolic about and become cooled off before his bath, but should be popped right from his crib into the tub. For the first two weeks the baby should be held on the knees while it is being washed. Then he may be put into his tub. being removed as soon as possible after be Is bathed. He should be dried immediately witb a soft, warm towel, making sure that every Ht ou the little lHiy ! quite dry. A soft powder tf rice starch is then fluffed on nil over him. The water in the bath should be soft rainwater if possible and a delicate soap with a Turkey sponge, or light flannel cloth Is procured for baby's use Until after the child is eighteen months old the bath should be warm. At that time the change to a cooler temperature commences gradually. The mother may try sponging the child with semi-cold water, after the regular warm bath, and in that way work up to the cold hath.

A Cap Fastener. To keep children's caps of any Had on and over the ears in cold weather and also ts keep mischievous playmates from pulling them off sew elastic on one side. Iet it extend around, under the chin to the other side. Pull cap down to desired place, measuring . your elastic for length. Allow enough for a loop and sew a button on the side where you make the loop. The cap will stay on and stay in place and is also much easier to put on than it would be to slip the cap on with elastic sewed fast on both side. Tse buttous the color of the cap if possible. To Shape Baby Ears. When there i any danger of baby's ears growiug out it ts a good plan to let him wear at night a small openwork bonnet of cambric or nainsook, which will help to keep the ear flat. Care should be takeu that it is not in the least tight and so prove uncomfortable for the little sleeper. When ennkiug strings for the baby's bonnet work buttonholes in the ends and sew flat buttons to the Inside of the cap. Then the strings may be easily changed when needing to be washed.
