“It takes so little to make us sad,
To lose the courage and hope we had —
It takes so little to make us sad.
“It takes so little to make us glad,
Just the cheering clasp of a friendly
hand,
Just a word from one who can under
stand ;
And we finish the task we long had
planned,
And we lose the doubt and the fear we
had —
So little it takes to make us glad.’’
A letter has been given us from a
dear woman 84 years young. She
writes without glasses and is deeply
interested in all the 'affairs of life.
In her letter she tells of her last birth
day, the presents she received and the
43 post cards with which she was re
membered.
Why can’t our department get more
letters like this? It is always en
couraging to hear of silver weddings,
golden anniversaries and of dear old
people who are old only in years. A
beautiful story by William J. Locke is
being published in many of the large
city papers. It tells of the chance
meeting out in the moonlignt of an old
man and an old woman, who had been
first sweethearts. Under the spell of
the moon neither can see that the
other has grown old and withered and
faded. Their hearts beat with the
same rapturous joy of youth as they
say good night on the terrace. But
Mr. Locke is too true an artist to carry
it farther, he makes each realize that
the morrow is coming with its disillu
sioning glare of day, and they slip
away in different directions with mem
ories of a perfect hour unshattered.
The story shows that it is the body of
a man or woman that grows old, not
the heart, nor the spirit. The greater
grief is when the spirit too grows old
in a form emaciated and time worn.
There’s a wonderful picture by some
Italian artist. It shows a garden, a
very riot of bloom, in which young
men and rose garlanded nymphs and
maidens are dancing. All is gay and
happy until you look again. Over in
the corner you see a moss-covered
gravestone on which is engraved, “I,
too, once was young.’’
Ah, that’s the tragedy of it all —the
memory of youth that makes old age
seem lonely. But to what end is all
this? You ask. It is a plea, a personal
plea to you, whoever you are, to do
something for the old people you
know. It isn’t enough that your par-
GOOD HEALTH ESSENTIAL TO
GOOD CITIZENSHIP.
No doubt every reader of this paper
can call to mind some individual, or
several of them, in their town who, for
the lack of good health, are not really
desirable citizens. Good health is
Heaven’s richest blessing, it enables a
body to perform accurately and speed
ily their daily duties, it enables a body
to carry sunshine and happ'ness with
them, it enables a body to enjoy life
and make it enjoyable to others—
good health then, is essential to good
citizenship. You hear the cry of sick
ly and worn-out humanity, “what
shall I do?” First, all of you who are
w’eak and worn out, look for the cause
of your physical weakness —ninety-
nine* times in a hundred it’s your
stomach —then go to your druggist
and get a 25c, 50c or SI.OO bottle of
Conquerine —and get well. Conquer
ine is a purely vegetable compound
that is guaranteed an infallible reme
dy for indigestion, constipation, dys
pepsia, sour stomach, nervorsnecs and
other stomach troubles. If your deal
er can’t supply you, write the Left

and they will send it direct upon re
ceipt of price, or, simply send them
your name and address, and they w’ill
send you a free sample. Look after
your health and be a good citizen,
ticular old person is housed and cloth
ed and fed. The old person needs the
warm personal interest. She, too,
once was young. Old, she still loves
the things she loved when she was
young. Don’t give her charity;give
her warm human affection. Unbuckle
the wallet of care from her shoulders
—let her feel that her time for worry
ing about expense accounts and house
affairs is past, that she is to get as
much pleasure out of -ife as her years
will allow. It isn’t the greatest kind
ness to seat her in the most comfort
able rocker in the house and allow her
to do nothing but look out the window.
Give her some light duties to perform
and make her feel that no one else
can do them quite so well.
Os all the stories in the Bible, per
haps, I like best the one where the
strangers turned out to be angels un
awares. Life’s highway is thickly
dotted with old people many of whom
may be “angels unawares.” At any
rate if not already angels some of them
soon will be, so let’s remember that
“a rose to the living is more than a
wreath to the dead.”

DIVERTING THE CONVALESCENT
CHILD.
Our boy, who is ten years old, has
had a long siege of typhoid fever. The
fever left him as weak almost as a
baby, and it was three weeks before
he was allowed to go out of his room.
We had hard work amusing him dur
ing this time. He tired of being read
to and of playing games. He seemed
to find more amusement in a large
stove pan filled with clean white sand
than in anything else. He made or
chards and flower gardens. Sprigs of
cedar set in the sand were the or
chards, and geraniums and hy
drangea flowers separated from
the bunch' s made flower beds. A box
of Noah’s Ark toy blocks supplied him
with animals for his farm yard, and
another ten cent box of toy houses en
abled him to have the farm home and
in the distance a store 'and postoffice
with a road leading to it. A piece of
looking glass set in the sand with
sprigs of green around it imitated a
pond.
Our boy found amusement, in draw
ing with colored crayon pencils on a
pad, and in cutting out pictures and
pasting them in a blank book. We
had no modeling clay and had ro make
some by using the white clay we got
out of a ditch mixed with ju.sr a little
glycerine. The glycerine keeps the
clay just moist enough to be easily
moulded. He made animals, fruits,
eggs, cups and a variety of other
things. MARGARET SELLERS.
