The SIMPLE LIFE LEFT BEHIND
Mankind Has Created Complications
Hard to Do Away With.

It is easy to talk about the simple
life and so hard to live it, for life is
not simple any more. Its compiled
tons seem unavoidable.
The trouble lies in ourselves; the
entire trend of womanly sentiment Is
away from the things the centuries
held dear.
It was not so hard to keep life sim.
pie when ones best black silk did
duty for decade. Nowadays if the
silk didn't cut into ribbons the cut
of the garment would mean the patch
box in at least two seasons.
It is the craze for something new
that is the undoing of simplicity.
Novelty is the keynote of most Of our
lives. Even friendships and matri-
mony are getting infected with this
microbe of restlessness.
A mother said not long ago: Baby
Louise is so nnnicky she will only
play with her toys two or three times
before she is tired of them and have
to send them off to the hospital.
And the mother seemed to think
that it showed a progressive spirit In
her child. Such craving for novelty
can mean nothing but unhappiness, no
matter what ones ability to crafty
It.
If we are ever to become simple
again without some dire calamity Fore
ing it upon our country, we must
change our views of much that we
now think progressive.
We will have to learn to draw a
sharp distinction between our necess1'
ties and our frills. A woman who is
noted for her restfulness and her
placidity in the midst of a hard life
was asked how she managed to keep
unfretted.
II try to keep my life simple. Long
ago I learned that what women pos
sess beyond the real necessities soon
grows to be WEAKNESS to the nerves
The more of the unessentials we &C
uuire the more we want. Our most
coveted treasure soon grows 1nsig
nificant in the thought of something
still to be achieved. I make my rule
of life less change and more repose.'
! That is good rule for any harasseo
mother or business woman who has
come to think life too much for her.

his brothers room, he found him dead
in his bed, the covers slightly dis
turbed and powder marks on the left
temple, where the 3S-caliber revolver
bullet had entered. He found fifteen

older. 1t would almost seem that what
ever the usual doctor advises not to
do, Peter does, and whatever the doc
tors usually advise to do, that he ad-
vises not to do.
Dr. Peter advises against smoking,
however, for he claims the heat of the
cigar or pipe releases the nicotine,
which is injurious. Sweet milk he
claims is injurious, because it curdles
the minute it enters the stomach, be-
cause of the acids there. Then he
takes decided stand against taking
drugs and commends the Christian
Scientists for their stand against
drugs. This would seem to leave lit
tie room for DR.. Peter to practice his

lows formerly worked for the Murrow
brothers and they were suspected be-
cause they knew the arrangement of
the interior of the house and that the
doors were never locked. Whoever
committed the crime knew the habits
of the family and was familiar with
the interior of the house.
The crime has caused such intense
excitement that it has preyed upon
the minds of some. Frank Sejtz, a
simple minded Des Moines man,
thought about it so much that he
made confession to the police that
he was hired to kill Charles e. Muir
row. When he was questioned by
Sheriff Ben Ness it developed that he
knew nothing about the interior of the
house or surrounding country, and
the authorities think he has brooded
over the crime and the mystery sur
rounding it so much that he has gone
temporarilv insane.

Five Years
Of Heart Trouble Cured by

Before l began taking DR..
Miles Heart Remedy l had been
suffering from heart trouble for
over five years. had pains in
my left side, and under my
shoulder blade, could not sleep
on the left side, and was so short
of breath the least exertion
would bring on the most distress
ing palpitation. I had scarcely
taken a half bottle of the Heart
Remedy before 1 could see a
marked change in my condition.
When | had taken six bottles I
was cured"
MRS. C. C. GoRKEY,
Mortified, Va.
If there is futtering or palpi-
tation it is an indication of a
weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the heart. It is not neces-
sarily diseased-just weak from
over-work. The heart may be
weak just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs. You
can make a weak heart strong
by taking DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy. Get a bottle from your
druggist, take it according to di-
rections, and if it does not bene-
fit he will return your money.
