walking past the biggest church ever
built
Reading past the 'damns" applies to
many things. It's a lot better than
calling attention to them
There we're four of them, four pink
and white ladies with not blemish on
their smooth compilations, and not a
marcelled wave out Of place upon
their blonde heads. They had hats on,
creations OF wonderful milliner's art,
and they stood still as II perfectly
pleased with their appearance, though
q little bit uncomfortable around the
neck because of the fit of their collars
Their hands were neatly gloved, and
one of them carried rolled umbrella
with a pretty and massive gold head.
They didn't talk, there was no occa-
sion for small talk. Were they not
the cynosure of four bright eyes in the
heads of two frosty haired bachelors Of
no small proportions? They We're!
The bachelors gazed admiringly at
the four well dressed women arrayed
so early In the season in brand new
spring attire. Evidently the men liked
| early spring attire worn late in the
winter time. Yes? No?
Well. should say Eyes"
They didn't talk to each other about
the appearance of these four, but they
gazed as if charmed, and smiled the
while they gazed.
~ They looked at the shoes that peep
| ed cautiously from beneath the hens
of the pleated hats, at the trim figures
| and then-then something happened!
| Al big man, the owner of the store, per-
haps, perhaps only the window trim
mer, came up TO the four from door
/ in the rear of the window and one by
one he picked them up and carried
them into the store away from the cur
i ious eyes of the two bachelors. The
two moved on quietly and neither said
| a word.
Has it come to- this? Are our hoary-
haired bachelors driven to the store
windows that they may see the neat
and the we'll groomed? Primp up la
dies! Get your kid curriers' and your
spring clothes into action that these
simple bachelors may be amused. They
/ have out-grown those younger days
when they were impressed by less con-
/ spicuous and truer things.

While you are looking for laughs
stop and get this one:
A young woman in Fargo bought a
book and read il and pronounced it
good because that's what everyone else
said it was. She put it upon her liz
brary shelves and there it remained
till one fine day friend came and
asked her If she had read The Tale of
the West, or something like that, for
tHyae gu la Of
which were in the mountains where the
COW puncher reigned supreme.
Yes | have, and it was interesting
she acknowledged and immediately
the caller asked if she might take the
book and read it,
'Why of. course" said the owner Of
the book, and that evening under the
light of her library gas lamp the bor-
rover sat down to enjoy herself
She read a page or two and found
each one sprinkled with blue dashes.
She read again to find that each dash
stood for damn" or for something
just as horrible and unladylike The
dashes were. in ink and close observa-
ton showed them to be of plain five
cents a. bottle blue ink The reader
turned over more and more pages and
found the blue blanks scattered
through the whole book. Then she
pondered for a moment, and the per-
petrator of the deed was discovered,
Was not the young woman who bought
the book, very, very nice? Yes in-
deed, she was! She was so nice that
she would let her face shine like a
glass paper weight rather than use one
little bit of face powder She would
walk four blocks to get beyond sa-
loon without going right past the door.
She was a very estimable and pious
young lady.
The question that arises in your
mind as you read this is the same that
arose in the mind of the borrower,
as she looked through the book. Didn't
the young lady. the most estimable
young lady, know more about damn ~
Wasn't it more forcibly impressed. upon
her mind by the trouble she took to
get her penknife and eliminate each
damn" than it would have been had,
she simply read past the naughty lit
tie words? It's like walking past a
saloon--if she didn't think about 1T,

Dies human health depend On one
orEan alone? This question is becom-
ing widely discussed since L. T.
Cooper irst advanced his theory that
the stomach is the true seat OF life
and all health dependent upon 1t.
Mr.. Cooper, who has met with re-
markable success in the sale OF his
new medicine, believes that the stom-
ach is responsible for most sickness,
and that this organ is weak in the
present generation. While discussing
this theory recently, he said: Il am
asked time and again to tell why my
medicine has made such record
wherever / have introduced 1t. My
answer always is, because it restores
the stomach to a normal condition.
No one will deny that today there are
more half-sick men and women than
ever before. Nothing critical seems to
be the matter with them. They are
Just half-sick most of the time. They
don't know really what is the matter
with them. I have talked with thou.
sands during the past two years, and
few knew indeed what their trouble
was. One said nervousness. another
said kidney trouble, another liver com.
plant, some constipation, or heart
trouble, or lung trouble. Many had
treated, as they called it, for most OF
these diseases at different times. A

Southern Farm Magazine of Baltimore for
December
Letters from leaders in the work of
railroads for immigration to the
South, published elsewhere III this
issue OF the Southern Farm Magazine,
sketching phases of the continuous
movement OF population seeking
homes in the South, suggest thai
now is the time of all others to EN-
phasize the opportunities in the
South for the making OF farm homes.
The marvellous expansion OF manu-
featuring in this country during the
past five or six years has tended to
draw population to the great centers
OF industry, and the opportunities Of
the country for Il comfortable living
have thereby been somewhat OBJ
scured. Now that a r.riod of com
parative inactivity has set it, it is
likely that thousands Of men, many
oil them OF farm origin, will be cast
ing about Tor some Occupat ION which,
though Offering not as many OppOr-
tunities for the handling and accu-
mutation OF actual money as does
work i'll cities and towns, certainly
assures greater independence and
regularity in living. Such an uccu-
patton is the tiling OF ones acres

South waiting their men.
