the time for folly, foolishness and
fashion is about gone. The sooner
you "Pitch in and make yourself

around buying household pets and
wall-fowers for wives. The stock
of "old fools" is about run out, and
Betsy James and Hannah AIMS will
be in demand after awhile by sensi-
BILE men, who want helpmates and

mother, learn something from her

idle, ignorant do-nothing-a STUN
bling block in the road of life for
others to run against and fall over.
Go to work, it must come. These
are terrible times, and the sooner
you realize the awful facts and con-
dition of things in everyday life the
better it will be for you. Take your
old mothers place in the dining
room and the kitchen, and "give
her rest" Show disposition to
help her, even if you are in the way.
1t will cheer her old heart to know
that you are at least willing to help
her even if you don't know how.
Pitch in and try at any rate.
