Your Task

bullets or pestilence. with duty for
his guide. He feels the insurance Of
a just employment. / am not afraid

sons should not feel that they have
some better resistance against cholera
than avoiding green peas and salads.
Life is hardly respectable-is it?-
If it has no generous, guaranteeing
task, no duties or affections, that con-
stitute a necessity of existing. Every
mans task is his ilfe-preserver. The
conviction that his work is dear to

him--Emerson.

Greece and Rome, or in the middle ages,
or in the early Victorian era, but surely
not now. No woman who really has a
good reason for her procedure need
fear to go about where and when she
pleases, alone as well as accompanied.
And if in some cities it Is stin con-
sidered improper and even unsafe to
do so, that is because that city has
not yet developed to the modern point

to be a soldier in the battle than to
be the heir of battles fought long years

Women who say men have more free
dom than they usually mean just one
thing; they mean that men can pass
the boundaries of convention and. of
righteousness with more impunity. That
is true, and I am afraid that for very

that this is so; I do not mean that I
wish for the women more freedom in
this respect. but for tle men less. I
do not believe myself in those silly
little proprieties which are more hon.
ored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance," questions Of fashion and Gus

only to be disposed of; but the big
conventions-the laws which are found

called ''incontrovertible verities Of ex-
istence they must be obeyed if life
is to be sane and healthy and reason
able.
When it goes further still, we come to
the liberty for wrong-doing. and here 1t

fled that they have secured a genu.
inc bargain and that they have set.
tied the piano question for life.
We offer the most extensive line,
the most famous makes and the
most artistic and up-to-date styles.
The only reason we offer them
at such ridiculously low prices is
that the temporary quarters we
have secured will not accommodate
them, and we wish to avoid storage
charges.
We are selling at the attractive
price of $21S the best 1925 piano
obtainable-an old reliable Chica-

month. On other payments as
low as $40 and S. a month are &C
ceptable.
The best selling instruments at
this sale are the higher grade
makes, such as Kimball Eallet &
Davis, Lester, Decker, Marshall &
Wendell and others well known to
the public, that can now be pur-
chased at reductions nothing short
of sensational. Can you think of
