CHERISH YOUR LIKELIHOOD.

Dear girls, don't be SO often
wishing that you we're grown up to
women that you will neglect your
girlhood. In rush and hurry of
these fast times, there is danger
that you will reach and strain af-
ter young ladyhood" too much.
Be girls awhile yet-tender, JOY
GUS, loving, obedieEt and industrl-
GUS. Womanhood, with it's privi-
leges and power, :ts burdens and
it's trials, will come soon enough.
On this point one has said: "Wait
patiently, my children, through
the whole limit of your girlhood.
Go not after womanhood; let it
come to you. Keep out of public
view. Cultivate refinement and
modesty. The cares and respon-
sibilities of life will come sooa
enough. When they come, you
will meet them, / trust, as true
women should. But, oh, be not
SO unwise as to throw away your
girlhood. Rob not yourself of this
beautiful season which, wisely
spent, will brighten all your flu
ture life.

WHOLE TOWN Crippled.

The little town of Hoquiam
Wash. with 5000 inhabitants, has
more MANNED, SCARED and Grip.

of it's size in the world. There are
500 men who have either lost a leg,
arm, hand, foot, finger, toe OF ear,
There are many more who will
carry to the grave ugly scars.
None of these men have ever
been in an Indian fight, nor have
any participated in battles. They
are loggers and saw-mill men, who
have met with accidents in one of
the most dangerous occupations.
Not a day passes in the saw-mill
districts of that State but that
some one is killed or injured.
The city officials recently took a
census, and the tabulations now on
file with the town clerk show:
Sixty-five men with one leg each.
Five legless men.
Two men have lost both legs and
one hand.
Twenty-thres men have no feet.
Three handles men.
-Four men have one leg and one
arm.
Nine men have lost one ear

One man lost nose and ears.
Eleven men have but one eye
each.
Two men have been scalped.
One hundred and fifty men have
scars on faces.
One hundred men have other in
juries that have manned them for
life.
All these accidents have been
met in the woods or in the saw
mills in the Grays Harbor dis

AFTER The GRIPPE
Vinol Restored This Mans
Strength

Several years ago was attacked by
a severe case Of grippe, which left me
with hacking cough, soreness in my
chest, and bronchitis. / took nearly
every kind of cough syrup sold on the
market, besides medicine given me by
physicians.
l received no permanent relief until
my druggist asked me to try Vinol,
and after taking three bottles l was
entirely cured.
l believe Vinol to be the greatest
blessing ever offered to the public, as
1t does what is claimed for it." R E. r.
Hicks, Maplesville. Ala.
The reason Vinol cures chronic
coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles
is because it contains tonic iron ana
all the healing and body building ele-
ments Of cod liver oil but no oil.
Vinol is also unexcelled as a strength
builder for old people, delicate children,
weak and rundown persons, and after
sickness.

BIG CLOUDS OF PIGEONS.
Over 100000 of the Birds ON a Farm
in California.

What is said by the owners to
be the largest pigeon farm in the
world is at Los Angeles, Cal.
There are cotes for more than
100000 of the birds, and every
nest is occupied, with numbers OF
the birds roosting on outbuildings
and in temporary roostilg places
The birds eat two tons of wheat
each day, says the Technical
World. with large quantities of
green stuff and other food of which
regular account is not kept, as
1T is obtained from surrounding
farms in exchange for fertilizer
from the pigeon ranch. When the
birds are disturbed from their eat
Jag they rise from the ground in
huge white clouds, spotted here
and there with patches of blue and
rufous coated pigeons. OF late
years the colored birds have been
gradually weeded out, until now
the population of the place is prac-
tically all made up of snow white
birds.
In the nesting season, when the
cotes are all full of young and eggs,
the pigeons stay close around the
farm, but at other times of the
year they gather in great white
clouds over Griffith Park, the
largest park in the world. At feed
ing time, they fly about the three
men constantly employed to care
for them, setting on their shout
ders, heads and arms, even trying
to get into the feed sacks, from
which the wheat is thrown in great
scoopfuls.
The product of the farm, squads,
young birds and adults, goes en-
tirely to the large hotels of Los
and surrounding resorts.

WHERE WOMEN LOSE CHARM.
Too Many Do Not Realize the Nece>
sity for Maintaining a Pleasant
Expression.

A more than profitable way of en-
tertaining ones self while riding
down town of a morning is to scan
the faces of the women passengers on
the other side of the car. At least
one-half of them have that tired, wor-
ried look. Watch them intently for
a minu-e or 30 and 1t will get on your
nerves. Then glance at the other wom-
en-, whose expressions are pleasant.
Isn't it relief?
just because those pleasant looking
women are pleasant looking is no as
surance that they ought to look pleas
ant. For all you know, the woman at
the end of the car with the most se-
rene expression is worrying about a
thing thousand times more vital than
that which troubles the sour-faced
woman just across from you. One
woman has acquired the art of looking
pleasant and the other has not.
If woman only knew it. one of her
chief charms is a placid, pleasing ex-
preston when her face is in repose.
The average woman finds it easy to
look pleasant when her shoes pinch
or an unreasonable pin is making its
presence felt; but she gives up in
despair If the cause of her unpleas-
ant expression be mental worry
