HAPPINESS IN ONES WORK
Only In Proper Employment Can
There BE Found the Real
Joy of Life.

The Joy of life is the Joy OF WORK
well done. Husbands love their wives
but, oh, their work! Wives, notable
for housekeeping, for wise mother
hood, or the particular kind OF social
helpfulness in which women so shine,
burn incense of affection to their
lords, yet have constant delight In
their duties.
Many fortunate men fall into work
from the start which gets the warmth
of their heart as much as their
strength and muscle and activity or
brain. But there are far too many
who snatch at any employment and
find themselves condemned to IT.
They sweat and groan and so add to
their unhappiness. They butt their
heads against stone walls and then
wonder at the bruises.
Let's preach a bit. If the work Is
not to ones first liking try to make
it so. Complaining will do no good;
sulking embitters. Put the best that's
in you in the job, and it's dollars to
doughnuts that the job will pay you
back. 1t will grow easier and more
agreeable. In time a genuine liking
for it may be developed. And then
will come the best of happiness.

A great deal has been heard OF the
successful battle against yellow fever
in Cuba and Of the stamping out Of
the disease in Havana and Santiago
through the heroic efforts of the Uni
ted States army officers and of the
Cuban officials who succeeded them.
In one sense this success was imposed
upon the Cubans from without. and
while every honor is due the republic
for the thoroughness with which the
work has been maintained, this pri-
mary fact will always be kept in mind.
In the case of Rio de Janeiro, how
ever, there has been no external pres
sure, and the triumph of the Brazilian
sanitarians is without single flaw or

The people of the present day have
witnessed a revolution in the meth
DDS of preparing food, and with all the
facilities at their command, including
gas and electric ranges, broilers and
boilers, dough-mixing machines, meat
choppers. kitchen cabinets and dish
washing machines, the labor neces-
sary to prepare even the most elabo-
rate meal has been reduced to a min
imum. Cooking schools, which orig
mated in England in the latter part
OF the nineteenth century, have been
established in all parts of the world,
and there is hardly a city in the
United States that does not annually
send its graduates, thoroughly trained
In the art of food preparation, into the
uttermost parts of the earth to teach
the gospel of scientific cookery. Yet
with all the wonderful advance that
has been made in the sphere of do
nestle science, we are still nation of
dyspeptics. The frying-pan and cof-
fee-pot claim their victims; the
grease-pots of the moderns Stay their
thousands and the heavy breads and
pies Of restaurant and hotel baking
exact priceless toll from their devo-
tees.

Eating for Strength.

The greatest pleasure to be de-
rived from eating is the pleasure one
gets in the knowledge that his food is
giving him greater strength and vi
tally.
Because of this fact there is con-
slant increase in the consumption of
Quaker Oats; every time the strength
making qualities of Quaker Oats have
been tested by scientific investigation
or by experiments in families it has
been found to be a food without an
equal.
1t builds the muscles and brain with
out taxing the digestive organs; it
costs so little anyone can afford it,
and it is so carefully prepared and
packed that it is absolutely pure and
clean. A Quaker Oats eating family
is always a healthy family. IL
Quaker Oats is packed in regular
size packages and also in large size
family packages. The latter very con
venient for those not near the store.

Keno Invites STONED.

Attendance at feather parties" and
keno games, conducted by various so

solely on the invitations sent through
the mails. Thousands were printed

1-cent stamps. They were inspected
and found to be missives contrary to
postal laws respecting lotteries, and
all were destroyed.

STANDARD OIL TRUST
ORDERED DISSOLVED.
COMPANY CANNOT DO BUSINESS
UNDER ANY OTHER FORM;
MUST WITHDRAW.
GOVERNMENT WINS CASE
Its Contentious Upheld on Every
Point; Company Found To Be Abb
solute Dictator Of Oil Business.

In an opinion written by Judge Wal
ter H. Sanborn, of st. Paul, and con-
Cured in by Judges Vandeventer,
Hook and Adams, with a special con-
curing opinion by Judge Hook, the
United States circuit court for the
eastern district of Missouri handed
down an opinion declaring the Stand.
ard Oil company, of New Jersey, an
illegal combination operating in re-
straint Of trade and ordered its dis
solution.
The opinion Of the court was filed
simultaneously in ST. Louis and in
st. Paul.
In this decision the government of
the United States wins a sweeping
victory, and according to Frank B.
Kellogg, who was the government
special prosecuting officer, the gov
ernmert has won every point for
which it contended.
The case will be appealed direct
to the United States supreme court,
as the judges who signed decree are,
in effect, the judges of the United
States circuit court of appeals, al
though they were sitting for the pur.
pOSe Vi Trying lHlS case as the CIT
cult court for the eastern district OF
Missouri.
The decree Of the court dissolving
the Standard Oil trust becomes ef
fective in 30 days, when no doubt a
stay will be granted for the purpose
OF an appeal.
When the decree takes effect, un.
less a stay is granted, an injunction
will issue restraining the Standard
Oil company from a further contin
uance of it's business under it's pres
ent formation.
IL appears from the concurrina
opinion written by Judge Hook that
the company cannot do business un
der any other form with the object
or sitting competition, for it is
thought that with the end of the com
bination the monopoly will naturally
disappear. but should it not do so, anC
the members of the combination re
tire from it, except one who might
perpetuate the monopoly by the ag
gregation on the physical properties
and instrumentalities, it would con
stitute a violation of the decree O,

Stack Falls: Two Dead.

Arthur Brooks, 80, of Ionia, and
Campbell McMurcher, of Glencoe,
Ont, were instantly killed, and Miner
Clugston, of LaGrande, Ind, was
probably fatally injured by the fall of
seven feet of concrete smokestack be-
ing erected on the Rapid Motor Vehi-
Gle company's plant at Pontiac.
The men were working at the top
of the 160-foot chimney removing the
framework which is put around the
fresh concrete until it hardens. II
Is believed that the concrete was not
sufficiently hard to withstand their
weight and plunged to the ground
with them.
