MORE WAGES, MORE DRINK

The followiog paragraph is clipped from a recent magazine article by President Theodore Roosevelt:
 "There is one discoura ging feature connected with the upward tendency of the wage scale among the wOrkmen of this country. The higher the wages, the more money they spend in saloons. The shorter the hours, the more they are inclined to absent themseveS from home. An apparent disregard for family ties is growing among the poorer classes which will eventually lead to disregard for the blessings our country affords them. Hence, with an increase of wages, cores

The great foe to home, peace and happiness is worry. The habit of worry keeps Us crossing bridges before We reach them. The evils that fret us most are those which threaten us but have not yet arrived. Stop worrying about the things that may never come to pass. Things are going to jog along in the future just about as well as they ever have in the past, and countless millions of people are going to live, prosper and be happy, not only next year, but for ages after you are dead and forgotten. It's just as easy to wear smile as it is frown, and you will not only feel better, but look better, and your friends will like you better.

1t seems that we have heard some thing about an old maxim that says something about the lamb and the lion lying down together. We don't recall its exact words, nor its author, but we are sure it never originated among the politicians of Arkansas. In fact if they are politically inclined. the lion and it's own cub cant even occupy the same cave long at a time in Ar kansas. For proof of this. look at our own and only Jeff and his Charles Friday Jacobson, who has served him so long and faithfully. Jake has been private secretary and handy man to Jeff ever since the latter went into the attorney generals office eight years ago, and has practically filled Jeff $ official position while Jeff was out saving the country. In fact, Jeff and Jake have been "the same as one. ," But now, alas, shadow has come be- tween them, and according to reports from Little Rock. Jake has rendered his resignation.

Care Of the Hands.

For well-kept hands the nails are Of
prime Importance. In the first place
they must be properly cut, following
the outline Of the finger tips.
When the hands are washed the skin
at the base should be gently pushed
back with towel or orange stick, so
as to disclose the little white half
moon.
When the hand Is held up before the
face with the palm inward, a tiny rim
of nall should show around the end Of
each finger. The corners should be cut
round but not too closely, or they will
become sore.
Sharp instruments should be kept
from the nails, and cutting away the
loose skin should be avoided, as it is
apt to produce soreness Lemon juice
is useful in taking Off stains. Should
they look dull or rough, little vase
line or beeswax may be rubbed on and
then polished with soft cloth.
