"Don't be deluded into the belief that

Ruth AshmJre in an article on ''That
Boy of Nine" in March Ladies Home
Journal. "Don't think it is smart to
listen to stories that are not nice and
which are about women. Gentlemen
never unite in deriding women-that is
pecnliarity of cads. Never read book
that you could not share with your sister,

be framed and hung in her room. WhatF
You think somebody will call yon 'girly'?

you to see the folly of anything. That is
an exploded theory. Why should you

GEMS.

Each generation lives in different
world.
The man who is not friend will often
need one.
The creation of a thousand forests is in
one acorn.
Some people would say more if they
didn't talk so much.
Good fortune does not always ride in a
gold mounted carriage.
That man is not poor wht has the use
Of things necessary.
Wbitowashing rascal never helps him
any ON the inside. .
1t is not the clock that strikes the loud
est which keeps the best time.
The way to do great deal of work is
to be continually doing little.
An easy chair for the discontented can.
not be found at furniture store.
The soul and spirit that animates and
keeps up society is mutual trust.
The love that never speaks until it does
it on grave stone keeps still too long.
The devil is the only gamer when boy
is whipped to make him 60 to church.
The shadow of misfortune will gener-
ally frigLten us more than the disaster
itself.
To demand nothing and to complain of
no one is an excellent recipe for happi.
ness.
The most certain sign of being born
with great qualities is to be born without
envy. -...-
You cannot prevent the birds of sad
ness from flying over your head, but you
may prevent them from stopping to build

The Coming OF Baby,

When a baby comes to the house real
happiness comes. The care and anx iety
count for nothing against the clinging
touch of the little hands and the sound of
the little voice. The highest function
given the human being is bringing
healthy, happy children into the world.
Over thirty years ago the needs of women
appealed to DR.. Pierce, now chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. The
result of his study improved by thirty
years of practice is embodied in DR..

the organs distinctly feminine. 1t gives
weak women the strength and health
necessary for the production of healthy

children easy. 1t is sure to cure any
weakness or arrangement peculiar to
women; stops pain, soothesinf animation.

For YOUR Projection. - Catarrh
''oures" in liquid form to be taken inter-
nally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodine of Potassa, or both, which are
injurious if too long taken. Catarrh is a
local, not blood disease, caused by sud.
den change to cold and damp weather. 1t
starts in the nasal passages. Cold In the
head causes excessive flow of mucus and,
if repeatedly neglected, the results of
catarrh will follow, and oftentimes an
offensive discharge. Ely's Cream Balm
is the acknowledged cure for these troubles
and contains no mercury nor any injurious
drug.

The bicycle stands today as practically
the only attractive form Of outdoor sport.
and is proved to be one of the most
healthy and useful forms of recreation,
furnishing an incentive for outdoor
exercise, something that Americans
particularly we're much in need of until
the bicycle came into general use. This is
the opinion of those tire makers whose
tires have not failed-the double-tubers--
and who are willing to go on with the
expense, since it is so much to their
advantage.

are beginning to think that this lsgge
expense is rank extravaganza. These same

1t is very difficult matter to make a
tire air-tight. The holding OF the air
depends upon the integrity of the inner
lining. Ia tires from which this inner
lining cannot be removed, il is impossible
to make them air-tight for any length of
time. 1t is important for new rider to
know that many leaks are from causes
that cannot be located on the outer sur
face Of the tire, henoe the importance OF
having the tube which contains the air
removable for inspection and repair.

In the so called single tnbe tire, wherein
the whole fabric of the tire is cemented
and vulcanized together, the walls of the
tire are made of several layers of
fabric, and the tires thus made are stiff
and unyielding, as compared with the
double tube tire, in which the inner lining
is free to move independently of the outer
wearing cover.
