Too many of our young people fail in
showing considerable attention, and too
often do not fully appreciate the self
sacrificing love and benign presence of
mother. Like the air and the sunlight,
she has her tender ministries are received

When she is at rest in the home of the

Work is moral and physical uplifter ;
it is a panacea. for sorrow; idleness
brings moral decay and furnishes an in
centive to crime The avalanche of crime
that is sweeping over the beautiful land
is largely due to the fact that too many
would rather steal than work. The life
of duty, not the life Of mere ease or
mere pleasure, is the kind of life which
makes the great men and women. The
first prize that life offers is the chance
to work at work worth doing.

No young woman looks So well as
when dressed neatly and plainly, with
cut any ruffles or ornaments. She then
appears as if she really is worth some
thing; and needs no superfluities to en-
nance her looks If all young women
would put in as much time training their
mind and learning the wonderful lessons
of amiability as some do in adjusting the
paint on their faces, the world would wag
along better.

no change in our rates, with the
exception of extension telephones
which will be reduced SOC each, and
a 10 per cent discount will be given
on the rental account if paid on
or before the tenth day of the
current month.
This discount will favor no class
Of service as compared with the
others, as does the fifty per cent
discount which makes the ra,c of
discount higher as the bill grows
smaller, manifestly unfair both to
