New York Evening Post
Women sometimes forget
That there are to sides to every ques-
ton.
That the "School for Scandal" is not
recognized educational institution
which fits her for the School of Life. -
That there are two essentials to her
success tact and charm of manner.
That children are just as susceptible
to "mothering" as dogs
That the reason they are less contented
than men is that women magnify their
troubles and men pass over the small
things -they are content to '1et the
little world pass by
That the hope of every woman lies in
one of two directions to make or take
name for herself.
That her personality, her faults and
foibles are all instrumental in shaping
the manners of men, and that she has
only herself to blame or praise FOR their
attitude toward her.
That it is good for her to close eyes
to all externals at least once every day
and soar quite away into Oblivion Their
to come back and be happy for the rest
of the hours.

WORK WEAKEkS THE KIDNEYS

In Mineral POiP..

Most Mineral Point people work every
| day in some strained, unnatural posi-
| ton bending constantly over a desk =
riding on jolting wagons or cars doing
laborious homework; lifting, reaching
or pulling, or trying the back in hun
bred other ways, All these strains
tend TO wear, weaken and injure the
kidneys until they fall behind in their
work of filtering the poisons from the
blood. Doan's Kidney Pills cure sick
kidneys and put new strength in bad
backs.
Mrs. N. Y. Burris, living in the
fourth ward, Lancaster, Wis, says Il
am giving Doan's Kidney Pills my en-
dorsment in the hopes that some of the
many persons suffering from kidney
complaint may read it and be benefited

severe pains in his back He is forced
TO travel great deal and the constant
jarring and jolting of the cars seemed
to agrivate the trouble. His kidneys

pain and in a short time his complaint
had entirely vanished. He has not had
any trouble with his kidneys or back

Senatorial Campaign Expenses.

There is talk Of legislative invest
igation of the financial features Of the
senatorial campaign. Such an investiga-
ton would permit me TO meet and re
flute these contemplate insinuations,
and for one would heartily welcome it, "
That was the statement made by Dis
trict Attorney f. +. McGovern, one of
the four candidates for the United
States senatorial nomination, who, il
has been charged, ran as a Stephenson
stool pigeon to weaken the strength OF
the anti Stephenson men. 1t was
charged that Mr.. McGovern could draw
the votes Of strong LaFollette support
ers who would not vote for Stephenson
but who would have voted against
Stephenson if McGovern had not divided
the LaFollette support. This charge Mr..
McGovern denies.
Mr. McGoven spent over $40, 600 in
his campaign, in which he proclaimed
himself the poor man candidate. The
other candidates spent more than twice
the amount, and Mr. Stephenson is be-
lieved TO have expended over 500, 600.

Chicago Record-Eerad.
How often you hear people say they
"dread winter" and that if they had
the means and time they would HE
themselves away to some milder climate
and thereby escape the storms and cold
and icy weather that annually come to
this section at this season of the year.
MANY do actually follow this plan, and
their glowing accounts of comfort and
warmth in the sunny south, " or in
| California, or some other section, where
snow and freezing weather are practi-
cally unknown, ordinarily cause feelings
of envy on the part Of those who are
unable to travel in this manner.
Yet aside from the pleasure and en-
joyment of travel itself, with the OPP
portunities of seeing strange places and
coming in contact with other people
whose customs, practices and character
istics may prove Of interest to the stud
ent of human nature, the person who
refuses to be scared out by the advent
of cold weather and remains to take the
seasons as they come in this section,
really have some advantage over those
who hurry away to find milder climate
during the winter months. For winter
appears TO have certain attributes that
give some of its gaieties a substantial
advantage over those of summer itself.
There is the higher outdoor life of win
ter, including for example, the sports of
sleighing, coasting, skating, and, in
some places, hockey sports that fill the
lungs with oxygen and endow the body
with vigor. In indoor amusements, Of
course, winter has advantages over sum
mer hardly necessary to mention. The
theater, the sociable or neighborly visit,
the evening card party, the club, the
lecture, the debate all these and many
others like them, are the ready avoca-
tons of the cold season.
The dangers Of disease in winter are
probably not greater that those of sum
mer, but is supposable that much of our
dread of the cold season is the result OF
wrongly educated imagination, nenta
habit which has its root in the former
literary supply of the people-a winter
in our early literary meaning an era
of wet, of rain, and of fog, Of dull
drilling weather, in short, the winter
Of England. Our winters here are
marked by bright, biting but energet-
izing atmospheric conditions, entirely
different from those that prevail in
Great Britain.
The city, of course, has many special
opportunities for pastime which are de-
MED the country The country has, on
its side, many which are denied the city,
The country people have much leisure in
winter when the people of the city have
| little or none. Their sports the chase,
sleighing, coasting and the hearty home
meetings, dances and festivities, are
distinctive and enjoyable. The city has
nothing to compare with these, and, so
far as enjoyments involving mere heart
mess and unaffected hilarity go, seems
to be constantly having less. 1t makes
up in other ways, however, what it lacks
in these. And so it may be said that
winter, either in city or country, is the
period of enjoyment most real, most
true and best available Of all the year
