When the Nose BIeeds.

When the nose is bleeding never
hold it over a basin, or hold the head
down in any way. This only causes
further rush of blood to the broken
tissues in the nose. The head should
be held up and back, the flow being
caught in handkerchiefs or cloths.
One of the most effective and simple
means of checking a nose bleed is to
press On the upper lip. Near the un-
der surface Of the lip runs the artery
that supplies the interior nasal pas
sages where the ruptures occur. II
this is pressed, the flow Of blood is
mechanically checked, thus allowing
the blood around the broken tissues
to CONCEAL and seal up the opening.
II merely pressing the finger does not
succeed, place a wad Of paper under
the lip and fold the lip over it, hold
ing 1T down tight, says Woman's Life.
Again, if this does not succeed, and a
drug store is near, get some adrenalin,
saturate a piece Of cotton with 1t, and
apply to the interior OF the nose from
where the blood flows.

For the cultivated man there is nc
virtue in eitherSoptimism or pes

duty to be optf0 Dstic, and for some
people 1t may be a duty; but one OF
the great uses of education is to teach
us to be neither one mon the other.
In the management Of our personal
affairs, we try to be neither one nor
the other. In business. q persistent

cause In business the Trustworthy
man. as everyone knows, is the man
who sees things as they are; and to
see things as they are, without a
glamour or illusion, is the first condi.

lutely essential in war, in finance, in
law. in every field of human activity
n which the future has to be thought

A Match for a Tic.

The waiter smOthered an embar
raised grin when the red-faced absent.
minded man handed him his tip. After
the absent-minded man had gone the
waiter looked after him and then at
his tip, still with a half grin on his
face.
THE tip the man had handed to him
was a match-just a common every
day sulphur match of commerce.
HE meant well enough" said the
waiter. He was just thinkin' about
something else. The chances are that
somebody in his Office keeps bothering
him for matches and he's got so in the
habit of giving matches to people that
he hands out a match without thinkin'
any more about it than he would about
drawing his breath. He felt that he
ought to hand me something, and he
just made it a match without thinking.
Why" continued the waiter. you'd
be surprised at the absent-minded peo-
pie that give us tips. The other fel-
low, a solemn looking man. gave me a
dollar bill-just the amount his din
ner came to. He wanted to give me a
little piece for myself, and just as
he started cut he reached back and
gave me a handful Of cloves that he'd
pulled out of the little pocket where
he kept his small change. And he
wasn't doing it to be kidding, either.
He v knew he did it.
But" says the waiter in a serious
tone, somehow the absent-minded-
ness hardly ever makes 'em loosen
up any more'n they would when
they're right at themselves."-Cleve
land Plain Dealer.

county, to more than 1000 persons at
St. Mary's Church, this town. Father
Doyle warmly advocated the fight to
make the county "dry" citing instances
of the effect of liquor on communities,
and dwelling particularly upon the de-
moralizing effect on men. He talked
of the illegal side of the liquor traffic,
stating that in small towns with many
saloons it was often necessary for deal
ers to resort to unlawful means to make
expenses and profits. He gave instances
Of towns in which saloons were bad in
duences, using facts gained in mission
work as details. Rev. Francis A.
Schwallenberg, pastor of the church,
announced that on the day of election
there would be a special service at 8 a.
m, and he invited the children to come
to the service and pray for the success
Of the "dry" movement.

mankind can become fast runners? 10
be fast runner is good, but the de-
vourIng, managing and injuring OF
Thousands of boys is too high price
for the accomplishment. If your boy
is not a fast runner he will be doomed.
Will you vote that the bears remain?
Your boy in school.
The home is the school.
Your boy is now under your care and
the influence of home, but some day he
will go forth into the world. If he is
to be 3 useful man, he must 60 among
men, he cannot expect to perch himself
on the top of some high mountain
the sky is clear and the air pure, If he
is to be useful man in the universe.
He must walk the great highway of life
along which files the throng OF men.
Along this highway are many saloons
that have devoured many boys, bruised
and mangled thousands.
Saloons are bad.
This no one will deny.
Some people can resist all tempta-
tions. Therefore saloons cannot hurt
them.
Probably you are not total abstaine,
and have spent many pleasant moments
in company with the saloons, drinking
at their fountains, and when they flow
ed too freely and the current became
too strong, you exerted your will power
and ran away. They could not seize
you; they could not hurt you. But you
have a. strong will power. You were
born so. Do you know that your boy
now under your care has strong will
power? Do you know that he was
born so? Have all his an cestors been
persons of strong will power? Or was
away back someone who could not say
no. Are you willing TO vote that the
Saloons remain? Are you willing to
risk the welfare of your boy to his
ability to resist temptation Are you
that sure Of his ability? Are you will
ing to take the risk ?
Saloons are bad.
Fighting TO resist temptation makes
strong wills.
To have strong will is good.
Would you vote to have the saloons
remain? Arguing that your boy, who
knows the danger of the saloon, would
exert TO the utter most bis will power
to resist its temptation. That through
this constant exertion of the will man
Kind woul at last become so strong
that they, could say no to every temp
tation. Yes such an end would at last
be reached, but this growth will ex-
tend many years, and during that time
what will become of the countless
thousands of boys who cannot resist
temptation? To have strong will is
good. but is this day destroying and de-
oauching the only way by which the
gift can be obtained? To possess
strong will is great blessing, but the
forfeiture Of life, health, prospects,
hopes and the entailment of sorrow,
pam ana suffering through couh'ioSs
es is too high price to pay for the
blessing. If y0ur boy has not strong
will he will have to make the forfeit
ture. VIII you vote to have the saloon
remain ?
No man would think Of jeopardizing
the life and safety of his boy by voting
a. h., rsf fU
iects are analogous, and the father who
votes to retain the saloons does as bad
as he who votes to retain the bears.
