only reaps what has been sowed,
but above that justice, also a har-
vest of love, respect and admira-
ton.
Simplicity is Unborn and implant-
ed in every child, and according
to the influences of their early life,
is the result of their maturity.
The result, however, largely de-
pend upon the original character;
for some receive a larger heritage
than Others. ~.
Nevertheless, the orig final spark
is in all, to be cultivated and chung
to with endurance, for there is al
ways more'where that much comes
from.
Both CD ristianity and refinement
demand simplicity, and although
certain ettiquettes may for while
emulate honesty. still with no de-
gree oflsecurity do they ring true;
for at b cart man lacks, if he lacks
simplicity. which is but form of
honesty.

Decrease in Liquor Consumption.

Decrease in Liquor Consumption.
Advocates of prohibition and 10
cal option laws assert that the en-
actment of such laws decreases the
sale ard consumption of liquor,
and the opponents of such laws
just as strongly assert that they do
not. All doubt upon the question
will probably ae set at rest by the
official statement of tho Treasury
Department. The figures show a
decrease of between four and five
million barrels of beer in 1908.
That means a billion pints less
liquor drunk in 1908 than in 1907
That decrease is not perhaps sc
great as temperance reformers ex-
pected, Ibut it is "a very decided de-
crease all the same, and one that is
all the more suggestive because Of
the persistent at attempts at illegal
selling, and the facilities for secur-
ingfliqaor in dry territory through
the operations of 1.-THE express CON-
panies. 1t all indicates that the

The Value of Simplicity.
(BY LASDos CARTER.]


One of the Beauties of simplicity
is that it can adapt its shape to
complex situations without losing
its character.
There are some pessimists who
probe duplicity, sneer at virtue and
declare that simplicity and natural
ness are but encouraging targets
for the more worldly wise, who are
ever on the "qui viye" to take ad-
vantage ofignorance and innocence.
Such theories, however, can from
no standpoint be upheld, for there
Is no human being SO totally de-
PRAYED but that be will resr,ond to
certain gentle issues, and there is
no quality more insinuat;.ng in its
gentleness than simplici ty.
So far from simplicity indicat-
ing a lack of individual strength,
it is the highest form of wisdom.
and frequently inspires co nfidence
when perhaps all Else would fail.

Advertising is a modern
