savage Cruelty Melted Out For the

Says an editorial In the Picking
Times: 'rhc position of the slave girl
III II Chinese home is Il very hard one as

property of the wife, and no one inter-
fcres with the mistress In her treat
ment of the poor little things, who will
as often as not be subjected to the
most savage cruelty for most veninl Of

ease Of great hardship being brought
into the mixed court, Shanghai, In
which IL small slave girl had been gag
gcd With Il piece of iron and severely
beaten because. when half starved, she
helped herself to some scraps of food.
"Our attention has now been called
to piercing cries which emannte from q
house near Canton road and are said to
proceed from little slave girl who for
some reason Is beaten almost daily
with a thick knotted rope, but for what
redson Is unknown.
"Our Informant thinks word In

been noticed, may suffice to check the
cruelty without lodging II formal com

Lindsborg the Great.
(Kansas City Journal.)


Over in Sweden the people
think the greatest city in the
United States is Lindsborg,
Kans. This is due to the con-
stant advertising the late DIR.
Carl Swensson used to give his
Kansas college in his native
country. Recently a couple of
Swedes were induced to come
to Kansas through reading the
Bethany college ads. When
they arrived in New York they
were amazed at the sight of
the boats, bridges, elevated
railroads, skyscrapers and mil
lions of restless people. When
the shock of their surprise be-
gan to wear away Eric said to

The Yocnl Cords.

Vocal power depends on the vocal
cords. When they are stretched, SO
narrowing the exit from the air pas
sage, the voice is high pitched. When
they are pulled widely asundcr the
voice is deep. When they are fiaccid
the voice Is nearly lost. OF course.
voices vary individually In pitch and
resonance, but power is always af-
fcctcd 10y the state of the general
health, and. broadly speaking loss OF
nerve tone is more often responsible
than anything else for vocal weakness.
Fast living, mental strain and similar
conditions occasion such impairment
OF the nervous system. Breathing foul
air. especially air saturated with to-
baeco smoke. Is bad for the cords.

THE CITY MAN.

of the Farmer.
According to the National Magazine,
men i'll the cities work twice as hard
as the farmers, and they get few or no
holidays. Thousands and thousands of
professional men, clerks and men in
small business enterprises dclvc and
toll their entire lives away and at the
end are carted out to the cemeteries
without having had any more leisure
or enjoyment in their lives than horse
on n trcadmill The rut they toll along

ton, when the city man is taking u
brief and much needed rest The farm
or secs him sporting his "glnd rags"
and mistakenly imagincs him to be all
the year round only an idle butterfly,
consuming the produce of the horny
handed son of toll. The truth, 1t il
held. is that the city man. as Il rule. IL
the harder worker and gets much less
enjoyment out of life. He longs for the
rural scenes and occupations of the
farmer; his dearest hope is to get back
to the country to spend his last years
a few of the city folks make II big lot
of money and get their follics and
amusemcnts in the newspapers. but the
great majority of city toilcrs live n
very monotonous and stupid us we'll as

has only barren aspirations and disup-

the next morning 4. ut 5 or Il pie

wake up Our sleeping selves respond
to the hypnotic suggestion made the
night before by our waking selves.
That is mysterious and striking, isn't

You can not accomplish very
much if your liver is inactive,

and bowels and makes you feel
bright and active. Orino Laxa-

nauseate or grippe and is mild
