A "MOThER IN ISAREL.

"A lady received the following re-
ply from a neighber in answer to
the question why she allowed her
children and husband to litter up
the house, and the sentiment will
lind lodgment in the heart of every
home-l loving person in the land:
"lhe mark of the little muddy feet
upon the floor can be easier remov-
ed than the stain where those little
feet go down into the highways of
evil. The prints of the little finp-
ers on the window pane cannot
shut out the sunshine half SO much
as the shadow that darkens the
mothers heart over the one who is

years. And if my John finds his
home refuge from care and trouble

EDUCATION AND SALARIES.

L. Those who ilavShad the beneti
of %, education have never cause
to regret tae time spent in acquir
ing it, but on the contrary some
have lamented tha, manG momeats
idly spent while ut school. Fan
from believing moneyed returns
shculd be gShaogoal- S$aght for in
education we deem the following
extract from an article by Super
indent Aaams6sf Fayette College,
published in Maxwells Magazine,
worthy of attention.
4HThe average educated man gets
a salary of 81 900 per year. He
works forty years, maxi ~ total
of $40, 900 in "A life time. The
average day laborer gets 81 so per
day, 300 days in the year, or $3.50
in yess Il forty he earns $lS,-
900. The difference, or 500, 900
ergals the value of an education.
rs acquire ta earning capacity
requires twelve years at.schoof of
$50 days eachQor 2,f6O DAYS.
Divide $4,000, the9yalue of au
education, by 2,l60, the number of
days required in getting it, we
find tkM eacL day of school is
worth little more than $40 to a
pupil"
No boy or girl can afford to |
miss school while the opportunity |
is offered, but to those who failed
to acquire an education in child
hold days there are today many ave-
lues open for self Improvement.

Treating Wrong Disease,

arate and distinct diseases, for which he.
assuming them to be such, prescrbes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only symptoms caused by sesne uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tlce until large bills are made. The suf-

worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.

THEORY AND PRACTICE.

The friends OF the State admins

the increase of $45, 900, 900 in the
assessed valuation of taxable pro-
perty, but none of them have much
to say about the reduction of the
rate of taxation that ought to fol.
low. How about itf-Donaldson

The probable reduction of the
rate Of taxation is as a fairy tail,

ADVICE OF A FRIEND
AND IT'S HAPPY RESULTS,

Mrs. Florence Stewart of Evansville
Ind, writes, ANY woman who can appre
ciate what it means to be restored &c
health and vigor after being so run down
and anaemic as to make life misery will
understand why | cannot express my graf
itude for Vinol.
ii had been in this condition for years,
and had tried many remedies prescribed
by physicians, but without benefit. When
| friend suggested a cod liver oil prepara-
tion, called Vinol, | must confess | had
not much faith in it, but decided to give
it trial. and after taking it short time
| began to feel better. | continued its use
and to-day am as strong and hearty as can
be, and feel that Vinol saved my life.
81 advise any woman who is in need of
blood maker and strength creator to try
Vino', and know she will thank me, as
thank the friend who suggested it to me.
Our well-known druggist, Mr. John r.
Taylor, says, "Vinol is not patent medi-
cine, but it is the most valuable and deli
cious preparation Of cod liver oil, the
greatest health restorer and strength -crea-
tor we have ever sold, and we ask every
rundown, nervous, debilitated aged or
weak person in New IBERIA and every
person suffering from stubborn colds,
hanging-on coughs, bronchitis or incipient
consumption to try Vinol on our guaran-
tee to return money If 1T fails to give sat
isfaction." John Il. Taylor, Druggist.

LIKE MASTER, LIKE MAN

With a saturnalia of crime in Sar
Francisco; with citizens being muir.
dered and robbed, even by policemen
in uniform; with the stricken clty
practically at the mercy Of thugs and
thieves, District Attorney Langdon-
who was elected by the people of Sar
Francisco to protect them from Grim
inals by prompt and effective prose-
cutions-is loafing around Southern
California as an alleged candidate for
governor by appointment of William
r. Hearst.
But this is characteristic of Lang
don. He was in 1902 chosen superin-
tendent Of schools in San Francisco,
in the hope that as a teacher he would
take an active interest in the schools
and in the children Before he got
warm in his new position he saw an
opportunity to get another office, and
sc he neglected his official duties to
campaign for district attorney. Being
plant agent of Others he was made
district attorney, and at once began
to look about for something else.
Mr.. Hearst came along and ordered
him to run for governor" and now,
when his services, If they were ever
needed, are needed more than at
any period in the history of San
Francisco, he is gallivanting through
the orange groves, regardless of the
cry of San Franciscans for the help Of
their district attorney.
Such man as that ought to be
ousted from office and not permitted
to again relieve the suffrages of the
people.
But-Iike master like man."

Impossible to keep pace with IN con-
struction.
Hence It Is that costly business
structures are projected and pushed to
completion at high pressure without re-
gard to cost Tenants are ready and
willing to pay rents corresponding with
Increased cost Of building. The mex
orable law Of supply and demand re-
quires that more business structures
be provided at once, no matter how
high lumber prices may soar.
And it is the judgment Of expert
enced real estate men that the same
situation will appear soon in respect to
dwellings With the coming of the
winter tourists there is sure to be a
house famine" Even at this early
period, as house hunters have learned
by experience, It Is difficult to find sat
isfactory rental accommodation. Fur
thermore, this situation is causing new
ly built houses to be snapped up by
buyers and incidentally is leading to
a sharp marking up in prices of all
property suitable for homes.

WHERE COST CUTS NO FIGURE

The value of Los Angeles buildings
represented by permits issued in the
first ten days of October is approxi-
mately equal to the total value of build
ings represented by permits issued in
September The record of one-third of
the present month equals the record of
the whole of last month in the projec-
tion of new buildings From COM
paratively low showing for September
a remarkably high showing, probably
a record breaker is in evidence for the
first third of October
In commenting on the falling off
in building permit values for Septem-
Der. The Herald attributed the decrease
to the extraordinary advances in lum-
Der prices during the last two weeks.
That explanation was correct. Build
ing contractors eorroborate it by the
statement that lumber has been
marked up from twenty to thirty per
cent within the last few weeks. AS an
example, a contractor tells The Her
aid that a lumber bill for a six room
cottage cost him s162 more this week
than an exactly similar order cost him
three weeks ago.
But there has been no stoppage nor
any symptom of stoppage in the up
ward tendency Of lumber prices, On the
contrary, contractors are expecting
further advances in the near future
How, then, is the remarkable spurt
in the permit values for the early part
Of October to be accounted for?
The greater part of the permit val.
ues for this month is represented by Z
few business structures of the highesi
type and exceptional cost. In face o.
the great advance in cost Of construc
tion these buildings are projected. Tn
