It’s Up To You Old Chap.
It’s Christmas Eve, the place
most anywhere
When times are hard, and when
a mother’s care
Seems ended if she finds enough
to eat
Ajid shoes, such as they are, for
little feet.
But even there, though want and
need abound,
Hope, beating strong, in little
breasts is found,
No food, no clothes, deprived in
every way,

They will not be forgotten, here
at last
Will come rewards, to make up
for the past.
NEAR DEATH
BY SMOTHERING
Sat Husband, With Aid of Cardui,
Effects Her Deliverance.
Draper, N C.—Mrs. Helen Dalton, ol
ftis place, says: “1 suffered for years, I
with pains in my left side, and would 1
often almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up for awhile |
but then 1 would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to '
fry Cardui, the woman’s tonic, so he
bought me a bottle and 1 began using it. |
it did me more good than all the medi- :
sines I had taken.
I hare induced many of my friends to
fry Cardui. and they all say they have
been benefited by its use. There never
has been, and never will be, a medicine
lib compare with Cardui. I believe it is
I good medicine for all womanly trou
bles.
For over 50 years, Cardui has been re
leving woman’s sufferings and building
weak women up to health and strength.
II you are a woman, give it a fair trial.
It should surely help you, as it has a
million others.
Get a bottle ol Cardui to-day.
So with the faith eternal of the
tot
This night one hangs beside his
little cot
A worn and threadbare stock
ing. Oh, such trust
That dear old Santa’ll come, of
course, he must.
Just draw a picture, then, when
he awakes,
As out of bed one eager jump he
makes;
He looks—he sees—it’s EMPTY
—top to toe,
And oh the awful anguish of his
woe,
The one last, lingering look he
takes,
With choking, sobbing heart,
that nearly breaks.
With trembling mouth—with
eyes that cannot see
His faith denied; dear God!
how COULD it be!
It’s up to you, old chap, and
YOU—and You,
To do the little bit that YOU can
do!
The price—a few cigars for just
one day,
A few old dimes that you might
throw away,
To place within some heart a
ray of light;
They’re all God’s children, with
God-given right
To hope—to have! Just reach
that little chord,
That teaches Faith—Faith that
there IS a God
Who loves and watches o’er
them, kind and true.
It’s up to you, old chap, it’s up
to YOU!
—C. F. Sanborn.
Is Cancer Curable?
When men like Dr. Howard A.
Kelly, of Johns Hopkins Univer
sity, and Dr. Robert Abbe, of
New York, both in the front
rank of surgeons, and quite be
yond suspicion of mistaking
hopes or expectations for facts,
announce to a gathering of pro
fessional brethren in Philadel
phia that a positive cure has
been found for cancer the state
ment has a weight that compels
consideration.
The announcement was made
almost without qualification as
to the kind or state of the ma
lignant neoplasm, and with but
a single warning to the public—
the warning that the curative
agent is not now available in suf
ficient quantities to permit the
saving by its use of all the vic
tims of this probably the most
dreadful of human ills,
| And not only do they say that
these rays cure cancers that are
far advanced, but they say that
the cures are amazingly quick as
well as complete, the speed with
which the treatment acts sur
passing even that of Dr. Ehr
lick’s wonderful discovery.
Of course, there is nothing
new in the use of radium in can
cer cases. Since soon after the
isolation of that mysterious ele
ment it has been thus employed
with something of success by
manv inYrontiorntors. both in thlS
country and in Europe.
Hitherto, however, failures
have been many, and no such
definite and extensive claims
have been made for it as those
put forward by Drs. Kelly and
Abbe, except possibly those
made by the Middlesex hospital
in London in September last.
Numberless previous disappoint
ments have made the scientific
world incredulous regarding
such claims, but on the truth of
these great reputations are stak
ed with full knowledge of the re
sponsibilities assumed.
Something like confidence that
the eagerly waited cure has !
been found is therefore justified.
