whenever committees from coun

wanted to be deteated!-and

he has known how to use de- :,

was no reason why he should =

To the mind Of Mrs. Abigail Jen-
nings there was a sort of disloyaIty in
admitting to any outsider that a ma
tive of Willowby could be really &c.
centric. AS for anything beyond &C.
centrlcity, Mrs. Jennings would never
have admitted IL, even in the case
OF Miss Rachel Gregg, who was
frankly called crazy by the summer
visitors.

the boarders. do you really mean
that you've never known Miss Gregg
to do anything that you'd call crazy?"

nings. with a firm and unyielding ex-

telling the stage-driver. and letting
him throw the box right OFT" i'm

WISE WORDS.

Many man kicks because he
hasn't free foot.
The door Of adversely always has
the latchstring out.
In looking ahead some people are
entirely too previous.
Many a mans popularity begins
and ends with himself.
Few men believe they are working
for all they are worth.
Conscience doesn't believe In
straining its vocal chords.
1t is hard to be an enthusiast with.
out being something of a liar.
Some rich men are as crooked as
the dollar mark that brands them.
Joy cometh In the morning." but
not II you've been making a night of
It.
It's safe plan to believe only half
you hear, and then forget most of
that.
Aside from the moral side of It.
bisamy Is a luxury few men can
afford.
Some people are SO clumsy that
they can't even talk without making
q break.
Virtue Is its own reward. but that
doesn't influence a man to be a good
thing.
IL you want to know how to man
age wife ask man who has never
had one.
Success IS a rough road on which
many mans tire OF ambition has
been punctured.
A man might learn a lesson from
the centipede, who has more legs, but
doesn't do so much kicking.
Procrastination Is the thief of
time. but there is one thing we all
put OF till the last minute. and that
Is death.

, Is THE HUMAN
RACE DISSEMINATING?

A Berlin psychologist. DIR. Emil
KONG. who has Just published a dis.
couraging pamphlet concerning hui
man life. thinks that man has abused
MS strength and his physiological
constitution. and that. for that rea-
SOD. ne Is more susceptible to disease
than the beings Of former times.
In many people," quotes La Re-
vue' reviewing Konig's book. there
Is very evident degeneracy of the
physical organs. and the condition is
transmitted from generation to gem

the natural, not to say inevitable. re.
SUIT. KONG sees proof Of the fact
In the alarming increase Of cancer
cases. which he attributes. in great
measure. to the complex life of mod
ern man. He infers that the increase
In diseases Of the heart may be at
triouted to the pressure of blood
against the Innings Of the arteries. the
pressure being due, of course, to ex.
cessive activity Of any kind exciting
10 the circulation; for example. hard
work. undue effort or accelerated
movement Of the mind or body.
He (Konig) thinks that marked
deterioration is in progress in the
human stomach. and that the present
swift decay and loss of the teeth have
an alarming influence in stomach
trouble. In conclusion he says: If
men continue to live as they have
lived under the so-called civilization.
the time is near when suicides caused
by Inability to endure physical pain
Will be facts of daily occurrence"

WE'VE
 HEARD

this year, just as we have heard for the past thirty years, that when our customers go on their vacation they don't enjoy a cup of good tea or cof- fee until they arrive home again. We'll, wouldn't that jar" you? And why. because it's their own fault. Why don't they take some of our tea and coffee along with them? It's no trouble for hotels or restaurants to brew your tea or coffee if you'll fur nish it. If you go visiting relatives just take a pound or two of each and present it to them; they'll be de- lighted and they never will know why you gave it to them, and you Il get the benefit. We think it quite treat to give people something for nothing; some times it rather jars them to know why or how we do it. For instance, this week we give half dozen one quart fruit jars with a pound of our Baking Powder, 45 cents per pound. The price of the jars is S4 cents per dozen. Thou sands of people will wonder how we do it. Well, it matters not how we do it so long as you get both jars and Baking Powder for 45 cents, and both warranted O. K. or money re- turned ,at
