Reform Your Faults, Not Hers.
You may wonder that don't suggest

bless you, my boy, you don't need to
study them. They will fall upon you
and envelop you and permeate you.
and all you have to do is to appre-
ciate them and give frequent evidence
of your appreciation. Virtues seldom
cause domestic trouble unless they are
allowed to become aggressively active.

virtues. Just cOnfine your attention TO

deed does not, after ten bleak
years, feel the impulse to cry
"Unclean" when he goes among
his fellows. Fortunately an all
wise providence generally sees fit
to combine a moderately thick
skin with that peculiar paucity
of intellect which leads the blum
dering idiot into the most thank
less, improbable and worrisOme
business that the sons of Adam
have invented for self torture.
Suppose the country newspaper
has thousand subscriber; which
means at least three thousand
readers: that means that 2,999
various and differing demands
must be supplied by one edition
of the paper-we will admit that
the odd reader, the town fool, will
be satisfied that he has gotten his
moneys worth, having fished a
copy out of the ash barrel of the
third family to whom it was lent.
Now if "Veritas," or "Indignant
Citizen" were running the sheet
he could, of course, furnish a sep
arate edition for two and a half
cents to each of his subscribers,
thereby pleasing at least a third
of his readers. Being a person of
alert intellect and fnacing capa-
bilities as proven by the success
of his dairy farm or his ten mil
lion dollars made raising pOta-
toes, he would be able to do this.
The newspaper person, being a
fool, is incapable of getting out
more than single issue in a
week, instead of a thousand of
them as he should. Besides, if by
a miracle or an Aladdin's lamp a
way were opened to provide a
custom made newspaper for each
subscriber, it is doubtful if the
editor would always succeed in
making an exact fit, not being
with the proper sort of
brains for reading the minds of
all his constituents. OF course
"Veritas" would not fall down on
such simple proposition as this;
he would say ut is the thing to
do; it must be done; and he
would do it. We have large
faith in "Veritas"; he is a great
man and to him all things are
known and all things are possible.
But out of their inferior mentali-
ties and the varying grades of
their incapacity, it looks as if the
newspaper Lazaruses would keep
IN producing their ready-made,
news rags, for
sheer lack of those crumbs of
Drains that might so easily be
spared from the Dives super

RECALL "s3" HAIR TONIC

The famous Rexall 1903" Hair
Tonic is composed in chief of
Resorcin, Beta Naphthol and
Pilocarpin.
Resorcin is one of the latest
and most effective germ-killers
discovered by a science, and in
connection with Beta Naphthol,
which is both germicidal and
antiseptic, a combination is
formed which not only destroys
the germs which rob the hair of
its nutriment, but creates a
clean and healthy condition of
the scalp, which prevents the
lodgment and development Of
new germs.
Pilocarpin is a well-known
agent for restoring the hair to
its natural color, where the loss
of color has been due to a dis
ease of the scalp. 1t is not a
coloring matter or dye-it pro-
duces its effect by stimulating

sible here below, don't make that mis-
take.
Love Is Not All.
Love alone is not sufficient for a
woman. She hIngers for its outward
and visible manifestation, and it is a
hunger that can never be fully APP
peased. A man can rest content in the
confidence Of his wifes affection and
doesn't worry If she neglects to ex-
press it in words or actions, but she is
Of different iber. She wants to hear

to feel your arm steal around her and
your lips pressed to hers. She never
grows weary Of these things, and she
never grows too old to appreciate
them Their neglect is the beginning
Of Indifference, and Indifference is
loves deadliest foe.
Without love marriage degenerates
first to a mere convenience and then to
q condition Of bondage in which iron
chains take the place of roses, chains
which the divorce courts are too often
called upon to sever. If you do not
give your wife frequenA evidence OF
your affection, you will have only your
self to blame if she turns to some one
else for that which her nature de-
mands. No; you cannot possibly attach
too much importance to these seeming
ly Insignificant things. They are the
very foundations of domestic happi- !
ness. You may provide a comfortable |
home and every material desire of her
heart, you may treat her with courtesy |
and Kindness, you may give her high |
social position, but if she loves you all |
these are as nothing if unaccompanied |
by the purely sentimental expressions |
Of your own affection for her With /
visible love she will live happily in the

Angels Without Wings.

Angels Without Wings.
l suppose you are pretty well along
with your honeymoon by this time
and unless your lot is different from
that of other mortals you have made
some discoveries. You have found, ]
don't doubt, that the wings you sup
posed We're full fledged haven't even
sprouted. That is the amazing dis.
covery every newly married man
makes, and the quicker he makes it
and becomes recOnciled the better it is
for his future welfare.
Angels are all well enough in pic
lures, but they would certainly CRATE
on our nerves if we had to associate
with them. Nor is perfection to be de-
-sifed in a genuine flesh and blood vo-
man. This would be a mighty tire
some world if all of us did exactly as
we ought. 1t is mainly our faults and
the faults of others that furnish us the
diversion that makes life worth while.
That isn't strictly orthodox, but it's
true. and l believe it will continue to
be true as long as humanity retains
mates it,
Don't infer, however, that l consider
imperfections and attractions to in
crease in corresponding ratio. A little
salt is necessary to make your food

RExALL DYSPEPSIA TABLETS

The remarkable success of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets is
largely due to the new and sue.
cessful method of manufacture,
whereby the well known prop
critics of Bismuth Subnitrate
and Pepsin have been combined
with carminitives and O ther
agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pep
sin are recognized by the entire
medical profession as specifics
for acute indigestion or chronic
dyspepsia.
The Pepsin used is manufac-
tured under a new proc e S s
which develops its greatest eff
fciency. Pepsin not only sup
plies to the digestive machinery
one of the most important ele-
ments of the digestive fluid, but
it seems to exert a tonic inhu-
ence upon the glands which
supply ali the other elements.
The carminitives add prop,
critics which promptly relieve
pains caused by undigested food.
The combination of the whole
makes a remedy absolutely in
valuable to any man or woman
suffering from dvspepsia-and
not only a remedy, but a clJ-e
which works by gradually re-
building and stimulating t h
glands which perform the di-
