The Self-ImprOvement Habit as an
Asset.

The very reput alton of having an
ambition amount to something in
the world, of having grand life
aim is worth everything. says a
writer in Success Magazine" The
moment your associates find you
are dead-in. earnest; that you mean
business; that they cannot shake
you from your determination to get
on in the world, or rob you of your
time or persuade you to waste it in
frivolous things, you will not only
be an inspiring example to them
but the very people who are throw
ing away their time will also ad-
mire your stand, respect it, and
profit by it, and you will thus be
able to protect yourself from a
thousand annoyances and time
MASTERS, and experience which
would only hinder you.
In other words, there is every
thing in declaring yourself, in TAX
ing stand and thereby announcing
to the world that you do not pro,
pose to be a failure or an ignora
mus; that you are going to take nc
chances on your future; that you
are going to prepare yourself fol
something out of the ordinary away
beyond mediocrity, something
large and grand.
The moment you do this yOl
stand out in strong contrast from
the great mass of people who arr
throwing away their oppOrtunitie'
and have not grit and stamin;
enough to make any great effort t
be somebody in the world.

The Expected.

1t has been expected by those
in the inner circle that James Davis
of Ottumwa, Iowa and Miss Georgia
Hawkins would marry in June, but
none knew the date.
The expected happened for they
caught the month of roses on the
last round and were married at the
home of the brides sister, Mrs. Wal
ter Dimmitt, Wednesday at 1890 p.
IN. by Rev. j. M. Bailey and then
took the train for their future home
Ottumwa, Iowa.
Miss Georgia was a native of this
city and from babyhood up has al
ways been a sweet and deservedly
popular girl.
James Davis, a one time resident
of this city, now a prosperous bust
ness man of Ottumwa has many
friends here who rejoice in his hap
pineSs and his winning of the
est Unable lady.
May their love always be as
warm as the weather was that

Household Notes.

The best way to test the heat of
an oven is to try it for 10 minutes
with a piece of white paper.
If the paper is just lightly tinged,
the Ovenis right right for sponge
cake, meringues, etc.
If it turns dark yellow, the oven
is right for the bread, large pound
cake, large meat pies, etc.
If light brown (the color of nice
pastry you can bake tarts. vol AL
vents, etc.
If dark brown (rather darker
than well Drowned meat pie crust)
it is right for small pastry.
While if the paper. burns up or
turns black, the oven is too hot.
Kerosene will quickly remove tar
from hands or dishes.
New tins should be set over the
fire with boiling water in them, for
several hours before food is put in
to them.
Keep your oil-can tightly corked
Coal oil exposed to the air burns
dimly and forms a crust on the
wick shortly after being lit.
A vessel to which the odor o.

A good way to prevent lamp
glasses from cracking is toput then
in cold water, bring it to a boil ant

a man for appendicitis. After the
operation was completed one of the

found within and the man sewed
up again. Immediately the second

patient was opened and closed.
