u health and hopeE

Have you health and hOpet
Where do they come from, and to
whom do they belong? Do they belong
| to you, and you alone?
Who gave you these but the Great
Source? And they were not given for
your selfish pleasure.
TO you fancy you will always have
them if you do not give out of them as
| fully as they were given you.
Have you power, attractivenessF
You got these qualities from the
source of power and attractiveness,
and they do not belong to you for your
self. They were given you to give.
If you do not share with your fell
lows, using your strength for helpful
ness and your charm for virtues sake.
DO you imagine you can keep these
inner forces?
1t is impossible because it is opposed
to the inherent nature of things.
There's radium, for instance.
What wonderful reservoir of forces
is a tiny fragment of it! In it is sum-
med up the essence of light and heat
and healing, and it gives out these
qualities constantly, losing apparently
no iota of it's power Year after year,
without appreciable loss, it sends out
it's marvellous rays.
You should be like radium.
Only know this:
YOU ARE INFINITELY GREAT
Err THAN RADIUM.
Because when you send out from
your aura the rays of strength and
brightness aud healing you not only
do not lose your power, but you GAIN
power.
Understand?
One side of it is stated this way:
ITO him that hath shall be given
that is to. say. if you have power or
virtue and use it rightly you shall be
given added power and virtue.
And another side is stated this way:
"From him that hath not shall be
taken away even that which he hath
that is to say, if you have force or
body or mind or spirit and you do not
use it properly it shall be taken from
you.
The law itself is plain.
And IT is true not because it is in
the Bible; it is in the Bible because it
| is true.

a NOVEL CURE.

In sociological experiments the novel
and effective method used in McKees-
port, Pa, to deal with drunken hus-
bands is the latest.
In brief, it consists in making the
wife the treasurer of the family.
BY giving her control of the purse
strings she is able to keep the man of
the house reasonably sober.
Whenever 4 habitual drunkard IS
brought before the local court he is
confronted with this alternatives:
Either he must sign bond which
gives the wife the absolute control of
his wages for one year or go to jail
for six months.
1t is said few husbands hesitate.
And the police are careful to see that
they keep their bonds.
Experiment has proved that the rem
edy is a good one. It puts the hus-
band on his good behavior, aud it in
sures the family support.
Being dependent upon his wife for SO
much as a pipeful of tobacco, your
rampant, wife beating lord is very
careful how lie treats his tllmoner.
Few wives, it is said, abuse their
privilege as purse holders. If anything
they are too lenient just what might
be expected.
Already it has been demonstrated
that the new departure in reform has
gone far to reduce She number Of cons
plants of abuse and neglect on the
part of drinking husbands.
Elsewhere it is the old way
The husband gets drunk, beats his
wife, drives the children into the
streets, is arrested, Jailed. The family
is deprived of support, and there are
pauperism and crime. And the man
is not reformed.
And many a poor wife silently EN-
dures maltreatment, fearing to make
complaint lest she and her children
be left dependent.
Hail to the McKeesport system!
1t is not only effective, but just.
If the husband is unable successfully
TO manage the finances of the family,
let him turn the. business over TO one
who is competent.
1t may be somewhat CALLING to his
self respect to confess failure. but il
is better than to go 10 jail and ruin
his family.
he may depend upon the faInily
treasurer TO give him 4 square deal.

For the Thin Girl.


The scrawny girl, who objects to
having her shirt waist sink in, even
though slenderness is the fashion. may
be interested in a shirt waist extender
that not only fills out the lower part of
the blouse. but keeps it from sinking i'll
on the shoulders.
The extender can be made of four
graduated ruffies of lawn edged with
narrow valenciennes lace Each ruffle is
about two inches deep ard is sewed to
a shield shaped piece of lawn hemmed
neatly on the edges
The TOP ruftie is much longer than
the other three and comes up to the
shoulder on each side where it can be
pinned to the seam of the corset cover
1t should be shaped to just cover the
edge of low necked corset cover and
can be edged all around with lace to
give a pretty finish.
The lower rufiles. each one shorter
than the one above it. are lace trim
med only on the lower edge. The tops
are covered with a narrow binding
where sewed to foundation. and the
ruff1es overlap about half inch.
The lower edge Of the shield can be
finished with casing, instead of q
narrow hem. and tape run through il
to adjust the fullness into Il narrow
line at the waist
Do not choose too soft a lawn for
making the ruffles and have then
slightly starched when Numbered
They must not be made stiff At least
three should be owned. as they are
useless when not fresh.

Ey EDWIN A. NYE.-


"The first thing l do after gancine
at the headlines of Il newspaper or

to turn to the advertisements"
The speaker was a well known ~
ceum lecturer.
why DO you do that was asked.
Il am obliged to do 50 if l am to
keep in touch with the world" was
Che reply.
Precisely.
He who keeps his eyes wide open
for the signHoards that point the way
the world is going must not overlook
the advertising pages.
Especially Is this true Of the things
that make life worth while. IF the i'll
venton is new and practical, if it
ssares lahor, If it ministers to comfort,
you will find aD advertisement Of il.
Some persons object to large quauti-
ties Of advertising, which is mistake
The advertising makes the reading
matter possible. Were 1t not for the
advertising you would not be able 10
bug your favorite magazine for 10 or
Is cents or your newspaper for or 2
cents
The advertiser pays the freight"
But what Of the quality Of adver-
tiscd articles% asks one. 81 have al
ways quas toned that"
4 big mistake.
Advertising costs lot of money.
And the only way to get returns from
lit is to do a large volume Of business.
And to do a large business the adver-
tisement must be truthful and backed
UP by the right sort of goods.
1t is easily seen that to build up
permanent business there must be
quality in the thing offered
Indeed, it may be stated that the
mere fact that an article is widely and
steadily advertised is an insurance on
the quality Of that article.
Fancy, If YOU can. what & dull world
this would be ifall the advertisements
were cut out. It would be like walk
ing through a business street where
there were 10 signs
Rudyard Kipling wrote to a friend
who sent him magazine with the adj
vertisements cut out, thinking Kipling
would not care for the latter:
'4The next time send me the adj
vertisements only. I can write my
own stories.
Advertisements are signboards, show
windows and statesmen, combined for
rnf1r aoyvaD;onnn
1t not only pays to advertise, but it
pays to read advertising.

The valor of Private Howell.

During the Indian mutiny, says q
London journal, it was sometimes in
battle almost impossible to fell the
loyal native allies from the reyolted
enemy. At the relief of Lucknow Pri-
vate Howell was near loyal native
regiment that had, through too great
impetuosity and misconception of or
ders, got to a position where it was
mistaken for the enemy, and the whole
advance of the British army, amid the
smoke. poured into it an awful fire,
killing great numbers of men. At this
moment Howells, who saw that the
men exposed were paralyZed with as
constituent and fear, rushed forward
some thirty yards in advance of their
line and, throwing up his left hand
warningty, waved his helmet at the
point of his musllet with his right.
Hundreds of bullets from his own corn
rades whizzed past him, two of them
cutting his right arm, but the daring
deed served his purpose, for the Brit
ish officers saw what was intended.
No sooner had the cease fire. sound
ed than the men, to be the moment aft
err again in the throes of battle, sent
up magnificent cheer for Howell.

A SPLENDID INSTITUTION.

day published fine article on the
I. I. G c., the girls school of Mis-
sissippi, of which all Mississippians
are justly proud. There is not a
greater school in the country than the
Mississippi Industrial Institute and
College for girls. One of the great
features Of the school is the physical
care of the girls while there. They
employ first class lady doctor whose
duty 1t is to look after the welfare
Of the students and they also require
the girls to take sufficient exercise to
keep them in good health. The result
of this special care Of the girls is
that they rarely ever have a sick girl
in that school and when they finish
the course there and are ready to go
out into the world they are not phys
ical wrecks like some schools send
out, but they are stronger and better
developed than upon entering. Pres
