Translation. Of EVIL.

Leisure misused. an idle hour walt
ing to be employed, idle hands with
no occupation, idle and empty minds
with nothing to think of-these are
the main temptations Of evil. Fill uI
that empty void. employ those vacant
hours. occupy those listless hands, and
evil will depart because II has nc
place to enter in. because Il is con
Quered By good.--Dean Stanley.

Thumbserew Again In Vogue.

In olden times thumbserews were
used TO torture prisoners into confess
sion and thus gain from them secrets
that only intense bodily pain would
bring forth; but this. with many other
fiendish means of torture, was left be-
hind by advancing civilization. Now.
however. 1t has made its appearance
again. but as a means of self-infiicted
torture, says Popular Mechanics. 1t is
the newest aid-to-beauty fad in Europe
and its mission is TO squeeze the tips
Of the fingers until they change from
fat and pudgy to long and tapering.

A Great Public Benefit.

However prejudiced some people are
against advertised medicines the gen.
eral public is greatly benefited by
some. For instance such standard
remedies as the Cod Liver and Iron
preparation called vINOL. Its ingred.
tents are printed on every bottle and
its worth has been proven so often in
cases OF severe coughs and colds and
to create health and strength for the
weak and rundown that it's sale will
continue to increase in the future as
it has in the past.

Through an oversight the wrong
teams competed Tuesday evening, so
the basket ball games will be played
again Thursday. Howard should have
played Snyder, and Hilliard, Colville,
and these teams win play their game
Thursday The pun up, however, will
stand just as was scored, but will
count against the team taat should
have competed. In this event billiard
scored 60 points to Colville's SO, and
Snyder 40 to Towards %. This puts
Howard and Snyder upon an even foot
