Reauty's Downfall.

A warning note is struck by lady,
who has both medical and literary
skill, against the reckless disregard Of
those laws which make for beauty.
We Americans are growing palmer,
she AYERS, simply because we allow
even our children to be affected by the
stress and strain of modern life. The
smartness, the ability to look after
themselves and the athleticism Of the
women and children Of the present
time spell physical ruin. Beauty is
rarely seen nowadays in it's unadorned
style Lovely women are artificial
products, and really lovely children are
as scarce as auks' eggs. The reason
Is that our expressions have grown
anxious, eager, cold, our limbs and
members are strained out Of shape by
over-exercise and our compilations and
hair are starved for lack Of nerve
force. The exquisite compilations, lux

several years ago. the hodcarrier of to-

Of the joker's argument. he has nothing

There are in Chicago at the present
time about 1000 men who make bust

are styled hodcarriers, and in gen

but in great number of instances the
hod is a wheelbarrow. Modern inven-

buildings, was carted up and down lad

lifting building material above the

Men Will Marry a Laugh.


Girls spend considerable time try
ing to find out how to be popular. 1t
is natural that Il girl should seek ap-
proval and admiration. Her popular
| ity means good time, boxes of candy,
theaters, dances, flowers. everything
that the hearts of the young delight ill.,
The girl that is popular is the girl
who laughs. Not the girl that sim
pers and Fuckers or giGgles. but the
girl that laughs and means it. The
girl that laughs can have candy ana
flowers and theaters every day in the
week.
Men flock about her. They adore
her. She laughs herself straight into
the hearts of beauX and admirers and
straight into all the good times that
girl can dream Of
She laughs, but she is careful when
she laughs. She laughs with her
beaux, but never at them. She laughs
ut what they say when they say it.,
! but never aftcrward. She laughs at
their jokes, but never about them. She
never laughs at anyone's blunders or
misfortunes.
She laughs when the beaux give her
flowers. she laughs when they give
her candy. she laughs when they take
her to the theatcr. Why shouldn't
She? Her laugh is her fortune. Above
all. the girl who knows how to laugh
knows when to laugh and never laughs
when she should be silent.
She merely goes through life with
her laugh ready and into many dark
corners does she flash its cheer.
Many heart she makes glad just by
passing. Many a burden she lightens
by the music of her voice.
| Women forget to worry when they
hear the cheerful girls laugh. Old
men are warmed at the sound of 1t.
Young men listen and follow it. pay
court to it, marry it. For it is the
laugh that keeps the heart young, the
laugh that keeps the face bright.
What man wants a wife that can
not laugh? And the boy following
the laugh is looking for a WIFE He
may not know it, but he is. And he
will find her when he finds that cheer
