Two Kinds OF Economy.
l [4R1fl1lJtEiD MH6Y.I3:ANEJ

Webster defines economy" as
management without loss or
waste" also as "frugality in expen-
diture." Some business men &C
cept one of these definitions; others
swear by the other. One merchant
advertises extensively, in the best
daily newspaper mediums, and has
large advertising bills to pay. Yet
he manages without loss or waste
and transacts a tremendously profit
able trade. Another merchant cuts
out publicity altogether, by way OF
being consistently frugal in expen-
diture," and engages in an unend-
ed struggle for a bare existence
Both mercants are, economists,

kinds of economy don't pay. Quin

Denied the sacred right to rise
To stations she might sweetly

'Tis wrong, it's pitifully wrong.

Keep Your Kisses.

The deadliest disease the kiss
disseminates that of love. That
is why a mother should caution her
daughter against allowing any man
to whom she is not engaged to kiss
her.
You young girls. perhaps, don't
know how susceptible you are. But
men do, and unless you maintain
your self-respect and keep them at
a distance they will be apt to take
advantage of it. A kiss sometimes
means everything to a girl. To a
man it means little or nothing.
Let a man prove by his devotion
and earnestnesS his sincere love for
you before you allow him to kiss
you.
If man means nothing to you
and you give your kisses carelessly,
then all the finer joys of life will be
closed to you. If you would have
them mean anything keep the
kisses for the man who will offer
you his heart and his life. St.
Louis Republic.
