Economical Mrs. ReIden.

When Mr.. Belden announced that the
coal was nearly out and that more
must be ordered, his wife had pleas
ant surprise for him, says writer in
the Chicago Daily News. Mr.. Jameson
buys his coal through his firm and gets
it so cents a ton cheaper" she said,
land I told them today to order two
tons for US. They said they'd like to
do it,"
Mr.. Belden objected. 81 don't like to
be indebted to my neighbors. Fifty
cents on ton of coal doesn't matter. -
We'll" responded Mrs. Belden, "if
they are willing to take the trouble for
us the least you can do is to thank
them
''Oh, of course" Belden responded;
and well do something for them when
we can"
It knew you'd feel that way about
it. dear, so I've invited Mrs. Jameson
to go with me to the matinee tomor-
row." Mrs. Belden said, amiably. I've
telephoned for tickets"
When Mr.. Belden came home to din
ner the next evening he learned that
the coal had not arrived. Mrs. Jane
son says it will come in the morning ="
Mrs. Belden explained. she called up
by telephone three times today about
the coal, ana WOuldn let me pay back
the nickels il cost her, so l bought lit
tie Marjorie a pound box of chocolates
to get even.
How have you managed to keep
warm?" asked Belden.
Il bought two bushels of the man
around the corner. It's awfully expen-
siXe to buy in small quantities And

The next evening when Mr.. Belden

Don't Blink Your Eyes.

If ever you find yourself getting into
the habit of blinking your eyes rapidly
without any cause, stamp the inclina-
ton out at once. An authority says
that this habit will make your eyesight
fail long before it should. Natural
blinking is essential to clear and mOis-
ten the eyes, and the average number
of natural blinks per minute is about
twenty. These are necessary, and you
DO them unconsciously. But nervous
"blinker" will get in something like a
couple of hundred in a minute in bad
cases, and the result of this is a big
development of the eye lid muscles and
a counter irritation that acts on the
optic nerve and renders the sight daily
more weak and irritable The cure
consists in keeping the eyes shut for at
least ten minutes in every hour, thus
resting them, and bathing the lids in
warm water.

den but he held his peace.
THE coal has come dear" Mrs. Bel
den announced triumphantly, when he
reached home the next night. It's in
the alley
In the alleyr Belden fairly shouted.
Yes, of course The man said he'd
have to dump it in the alley or take it
back, Mrs. Jameson forgot to tell me
that the firm doesn't send a man to put
in coal, but, of course, we're getting it
so much cheaper. Where are you
going, Jack?"
ITO get in that miserab BILE coal"

Mrs. Belden, Indignantly. THE next

Dear Miss Valeau: Please give me
advice about my complexion and re-
cipe for a good cream.-M. S. K, Gold
field.
Before going to bed every night wash
Your face in hot soapy water, using a
complexion brush. Then with the
hands dash the water on the face at
least fifty times. Rinse in warm water
and then apply cream. The face is
rinsed in warm water so as to keep
The pores of the skin open and to allow
them to absorb the cream. The recipe
is as follows:
One-half ounce of white wax. one
half ounce of spermaceri, one-half
ounce of cOcOanut oil, one ounce of
lanOline, two ounces of oil of sweet al
lLlOIluN. MelI III a porcelain Kettle, re-
move from the heat and add one ounce
Of orange flower water, three drops of
tincture of benzoin. Beat briskly with
egg beater until creamy. Apply at bed
time Rub it in with a rotary move
ment of the finger ends, then by
spreading the fingers out over the face
pick up the muscles of the cheeks with
a Clawing" movement. In the morn
ing battle the face in clear cold water.
This food does not cause a growth of
hair on the face. The formula costs
about 30 cents to be filled.

Dear Miss Valeau: Please give me
some advice about how to correct a
fiorid compleXion.-S. T., Pocatello.
A complexion that is extremely florid
and which has the flushing habit to an
embarrassing extent calls for careful
general hygiene. You will find it nee
essary to avoid strong tea and coffee,
fat meat ana all highly spiced stimu-
laung dishes. Drink mineral waters
and eat crisp green vegetables. Every
night apply creme marquise to your
face; this will make the complexion
less sensitive. Active pedestrianism
viii help. Never neglect to apply a
good complexion powder when going
out of doors. Nervousness is often the
cause Of blushing. Cultivate mental
control-if you can.

Here at the further verge of youth
Where the cool road ! know
Forsakes the lovely, idle green
For the long hill whose height no mar

Turning away from morning and he

Live for the dew in the grass, the dear

The tranquil glory of uncountel days
For the stars. and silence and June

Oh, strange, dear place.

And brave desire, calling many ways.

Out of my youth, and, trying, live

WHILE IAN ALIVE.


How much would care for it, could know
That when am under the grass or snow,
The ravelled garment of life's brief day
Folded and quietly laid away;
The spirit let loose from mortal bars,
And somewhere away among the stars.
How much do you think it would matter
then
What praise was lavished upon me. when,
Whatever might be its stint store,
1t neither could help nor harm me more9
If, while was toiling. they had but thought
To stretch finger, l would have caught
Gladly such aid to buoy me through
Some bitter duty had to do;
Though when it was DONE they said fmay be,
To others-they never said to me
The word of applause SO craved, whose worth
Had been the supremest boon on earth
If granted to me them, ave are proud to
know
What use for the rope, if it be not flung
Till the swimmers grasp to the rock has
clungs
What help in a comrades bugle blast,
When the peril of Alpine heights is pasts
What need that the squirting paan roll
When the runner is safe beyond the goals
What worth in eulogy's blandest breath
When whispered in ears that are hushed in
death9
MOI no! II you have but word Of cheer,
Speak it while am alive to hear.

JUsT.TELL THEM so.


There's much to do the whole way through
And little use complaining.
For the darkest night will change to light
And the blacklist cloud quitraining.
If worth you find in weak mankind,
Twill do all good to know
That someone thought they nobly wrought
And frankly told them so.
Enough win remain of bitter pain,
With all the aid you lend;
Some will be sada others glad,
On down to the journeys end.
AS in the throng you pass along,
With rapid strides or slow
II virtue you see in bond or free,
Just stop and tell them SO.
There are many cares in home affairs
That wear the brain and heart,
And many way, most every day,
In which to bear part.
If you love your wife as you do your life,
1t will keep your heart aglow,
And make her feel your love is real
To often tell her SO.
If on the road you see load
Some pilgrim downward pressing,
willing hand to help him stand
Will bring you back blessing.
So in the fight 'twixt wroI and right
That's waging here below.
Should praise be said. don't wait till dead
Before you tell them so.

Trainer of Church of Tonnorrow.


The young people of today are to
be the support of the church OF to-
morrow On them viii rest the re-
sponsibility of carrying on Gods work
here after their fathers and mothers
have finished their work. To meet
this responsibility they need special
training in Christian work. The Chris
tian Endeavor society offers this train
ing. There they may learn to work
for Christ, to speak for Him and to
bring others to Him. Their interest in
the church is quickened by their hay
ing some definite work of their own
to do, and they are strengthened for a
larger sphere of usefulness in the flu
ture. No other organization sets the
young people at work along so many
lines, giving them the training neces-
Sary for future usefulness in the
church as well as developing the spir-
itual life. The Christian Endeavor So
ciety is an invaluable aid to the pas
tor by its members carrying out his
plans and through the committees as
sisting him in variety of ways. 1t
seeks to help not only those connected
with the church. but the indifferent,
endeavoring to bring them within its
influence and win them to Christ.

again. am going to close the column

a little singular that from the extremes of

poems that embodied the same thought;
that we should not wait to say our good
things of other people after they were

and encouragement for the performance of
