Before Shopping Read Herald Ads The Devil Talks to Himself “Why Was I Ever Created? Man Is Able to Provide Sis OWN Hell” (Copyright, 1914, by the Star Company.) They are idle in Hades now---idle and full of wonder. In that mythical realm where Satan sits on his red hot throne---as some say---or where he sits buried to his waist in ice, flapping his wings and chewing sinners with his teeth, as Dante tells us---in that land of mystery and darkness there is amazement as well as idleness. Thus the Devil talks to himself: “What need was there of creating ME? “What could I or the worst of my devils do to men that men do not do TO EACH OTHER? “Locked in his heart, each man seems to have his own devil. That devil has a ferocity, a cruelty, a power of self deception that I never had. “I have declared a complete holiday down here for the time being. My reports from above show there is no need to send up any primitive, unimaginative soldiers of mine. “They are weak, philanthropic, kind-hearted, com pared with their fellow devils at work'on the earth’s sur face. “These, my devils, do not kill each other. They do not stick bayonets through the stomachs of new-born devils, or strike off the heads of female devils soon to have child- f ren. They do not burn each other, torture each other, hate each other. “Why should this be called Hell when among the in habitants brotherhood exists and war is not known? “I shall change the sign at my front door which reads, ‘This way to Hell,’ and point it the other way toward the earth.” war r \ f L nI THE GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER.
