The translation of the Twenty- third Psalm by the scholars of the University of Chicago is no improve- ment over the King James version, declares the Watertown Times, which adds that this deathless pas- sage, one of the most familiar in the whole Bible, has been robbed of a great deal of its matchless beauty. It has been changed from a prose poem to very ordinary prose, In the Chicago version the pas- sage "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death," be- comes "Though I walk through the darkest ravine." Instead of "He leadeth me beside the still waters," it becomes "refreshing waters." The King James version of our forebears is good enough. No passage of the Scripture | than this.

Why; precisely what you make it. More than ever befors, perhaps, the year on which we are about to enter hangs upon initiative, en- deavor and shrewdness, The time is past when men may play fast and loose with their busi- ness or their work. The day for reckless cxpenditure and loose dealing is past, The time when the competition for labor was such that "anything went" is, over, Next year there will be business in fair proportions for all, but there will be closer margins, keener competition and net profits only for those who economize all along the line; there will be dividends for those "who save and disaster for those who waste, There will be work at good wages for the conscientious workman, and hard times and idleness for those who are careless or lay. We are getting batk to the place where profits will be made dy those 'who can combine small profits on individual sales with volume; thers will be work for those who oan and do produce more for their pay. Nor need we trouble ourselves about this. Tt is a natural condi- tion and brings out the best there is in men and in the end leaves the country more soundly prosperous than when so-called "good times" make men careless, reckless, and lazy and wasteful. The result will be cheaper goods for the masses and good profits and steady work for those who know how to take advantage of the cir- cumstan of the moment, The Year, therefore, will be just what we make it. BHLITTLING WAR. It is a strange paradox that Prussia--ten years ago the seat of militarism--should be the first country to fight war by making war less attractive in public school text- books.

March 15.~-On Monday afternoon about five o'clock, a city carter was seen to carry on the ice in the har- bor above the bridge a dying horse with its légs tied, which he coolly deposited and drove away. Shortly afterwards the poor horse was fro- zen to death. Next day, about noon, the same carter and two other men it is to be ourselves in that realm of { - That Body of Bours By James W. Barton, M.D; | Food Fer The Teeth Themselves. It is a fortunate thing for the rising generation that dentists afd physicians are not taking so much for granted, but are now seeking to learn the cause of various ailments. You will remember that as young- sters we were taught that the first teeth, the milk set, were not import- ant, that they decay and drop out early, so that the permanent set could take their places. Accordingly teeth were pulled | out, or were allowed to decay, with no thought of treatment, except to put in some oil of cloves, or othér remedy to allay the pain. A step forward was made when our dental friends pointed out that if teeth were allowed to decay or drop out; then the entire shape of the mouth, and 'the 'Youngsteér's per- sonal appeafance, might be marred for life, owing to thé irregulaf man- ner in which the permanent teeth came through into sockets that were not. large enough for them. Accordingly, the past few years, the teeth of school childrem are watched closely, fillings put in to preserve the teeth, and thus -the shape of the mouth. Also because infection can gét into the system from the first teeth, just as readily as from the permanent set. However, still another advance has been mdde by an investigator, a woman this time, who shows that the foods that the youngsters eat. have a great deal to do with the hardness of the teeth and thelr enamel covering. By experimenting on puppies, she found that diet including cod liver oll, milk, and yolk of egg, seemed to form the bone and dentine better than other forms of foods. Accordingly, experiments made on groups of children of the same age, weight, and general health, one group getting the above diet, the second group getting other food and these same substafices in smaller amounts, and the third group getting the ordinary fare of the institution. The differences In the general health were searcely- noticeable, whereas the condition of the teeth after an experiment of eight months was markedly different, those chil- dren who had the special diet men- tioned above showing much better teeth.

NATHANSON, B. Se., MA. Department of Psychology, versity of Pennsylvania How To Overcome Fear, When you give your son a jack knife, it means one of two things, or both; he will learn to use the knife with safety or else cut him- self. Playing with fire teaches you how to handle it with care or else you pay the penalty for your careless- ness by pain. It is difficult to say, unless the case is thoroughly analyz ed, whether you should face the thing you fear or keep away from it entirely in order to overcome your dread. A little girl about twelve years of age had-a horror of locomotives. She used to frequent the railtoad station and one day danced in front of the engine getting more excited, and terrified as it approached yet she was so fascinatéd by it, that she Was unable to leave until res- cued by others. This effort to over- comé her fear made her much worse. On the other hand, a man who scqiiitted himself very creditably durifig the war tells the story that he was a great coward as a child.
