HIS WAY rs DIFFERENT
Citizen Who Wants To Be Mayor Say
He Will Discover How Popu-
lar He Is.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Oct. Is. -
"Some Of those who would be candi-
dates for mayor are waiting to see if
the railroads are with them; some are
sounding the street railway company;
others are feeling out the other cor
porate interests of the city, and if it
looks good they may become candi-
dates" dryly observed Deacon" Geo.
T.. Ellis.
Il am going about it in a differ
ent way. l am going to be elected
mayor and then find out whether the
corporations are for the city or against
it. Furthermore, I'm going to see just
how popular am. A fellow who gets
an Office through spending money or
through coercion never knows just
how popular he Is, and before 1 get
through 1 am going to know something
that few other men in politics have
ever found out"

The life insurance scandals, bad S
they are, should not cluse people
holding policies to lose their COZ
fidence in the value of their policies.
The very fact that the insurance
companies have been prospecting,
have had large profits, and enorm-
GUS sums to juggle with, is what
has made the reckless finance pos
sible. So it has not been the assets
OF the companies that have been en-
dlngered, but the profits that have
been squandered. Probably every
one of the companies can pay every
thing it has guaranteed and many
of them more. They may not pay
a much as they estim ted they
w ,uld, nor as much as their profits
would justify, but they will pay
enough that policy holders cannot
afford to surrender their policies,
unless they can be cashed in at a
good value.

There is a saying that everytime
a sheep beats it looses a mouthful
of hay. Every time woman worries
she loses a little of her attractive
ness and takes on marks of age. If
the members of the family are
habitually late try to remedy it but
don't worry about it. 1t you do
you will grow older in the process.
If your husband or children do
things which do not please you, do
not nag at them. This will only
aggravate the evil you complain Of
and will cost you some of their love
and respect. Every time you nag
you will lose your power to attract
them to you. If you lose your
pocket book, don't worry about it.
Worrying will not bring it back but
it will take out of your face and
disposition that which money can
never replace. If you meet with
bitter disappointment, don't fret,
don't cry over it, if you do you pay
a penalty you can ill afford. No
woman can fret and nag and worry
and keep away the marks of age
or retain her beauty and power to
please.

is ably, il somewhat Electrically written,
and ia enliyened with various sidelights on

note on the programme. Thus it seems
that young ladies' were expected when they
