Simple Labor Too,

People find it tolrably easy to get
down to simple life in fare when
prices soar beyond the reach Of the
simple purse. To get down to simple
labor is not so easy, especially after a
prosperity boom. At present there
are few booms in sight. But that is
no reason for becoming strangers to
labor. A sensible farmer doesn't quit
the soil because a new seed or a new
method fails to bring double or treble
the yield Of the old the first year.
Progress is sometimes made when the
upshot Of hustling is simply to trade
an old dollar for q new one.
There's a good time coming for the
worker whose work is done right.
Some men today who were plodding
along and merely living when prosper
ity was at its height wouldn't know
there had been a slump but for other
peoples complaints. Business is bet
ter for them now than it was two OF
three years ago because they planted
good seed in good soil, expecting only 9
moderate yield. They are getting the
new dollar with interest on the old, at
least, and. it may be, a margin of profit
1t is better to wear out on that basis
than TO rast out waiting for so and
100 per cent propositions that may
never turn up.

was badly lacerated, which necessitated
amputation above the elbow. He had
been confined to his bed since that time

chance for recovery, but serious compli-
cations set in and he died yesterday
afternoon.

There are few women who can go

daily. And right here let me say that Its

soak in. When applied frequently little
will go long way and the merest touch
OF grease will smooth a chapped surface,
