Give your wife a vacation, she
needs one. Little cares are harder
to bear than greater responsibilities
and she has many more cares than
her husband and sometimes as great
responsibilities. When your work
is done you can lock 1t up in your
Office and put the key in your pocket.
But she never locks her work up till
sleep comes and turns the key upon
It, A woman's work Is never done.
And modern life has increased and
intensified 1t. Cares have multiplied
faster than conveniences. Life is
more complex, it's demands are great
er and more numerous, society more
exacting Who needs a vacation IL
she does not? And she cannot get
it at home. The more quiet and rest
full the home is to you the more evi-
dence that it is care if not burden
to her. A housekeeper can no more
take a vacation in her home than a
merchant in his counting room.
Even though her absence occasions
Inconvenience give her an occasional
vacation.

Charles w. Morse, who went pro-
testing to Atlanta, Sunday to begin
his ffteen-year term in the federal
prison, is one of the most pathetic
figures in the public eye at present.
To have such ability as Mr.. Morse
has demonstrated and yet fail to
grasp the great fact that honesty and
square dealing are the only possible
methods whereby any man can hope
to win lasting success, is a tragedy,
ranking with the saddest. Mr.. Morse
should expect no leniency because of
his having handled millions. He de-
serves his sentence, but as he dons
his prison garb, has his head shaved,
and becomes one of society's out
casts, we find nothing to exult over.
A man whom God obviously intended
to be great, has brought himself
down on a level with the smallest and
meanest of men.
The fate of Mr.. Morse has caused
some deep thought among other men
of great wealth. We wish the lesson
might also sink its way into the
minds and hearts of the lesser
thieves-the men with mortgages,
the men who take unfair advantage
at every opportunity, and to whom
their fellows are but objects to prey
upon. Mr.. Morses crimes have a
dignity Of their own in comparison
with those OF these little men, but
the same lesson is necessary.

HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Alexandra Mcdonald, the oil mill
lionaire, who is confined to his home
by feeble health, made some declara-
tions on the high cost of living that
will cause some talk and challenge
attention, coming as they do from
one of the original Standard Oil
Magnates. MIR. Mcdonald, who is
seventy-six years old, sees no incen-
tive in work that produces nothing
for the future, and declares that
there must be readjustment some
where. In speaking on the subject,
he said:
1T is becoming impossible for the
wage worker to make both ends
meet. do not recall when the cost
of living was so high. Wages have
not kept pace with the prices. We
will have to have readjustment
somewhere.
1t is not good that the mass of our
people should be forced to live a
hand to mouth existence. There is
no incentive in work that produces
nothing for the future The saving
ability of our people must not be
CuTtalleQ.
/ cannot see how the clerk who
must pay the high present prices can
support a family and save at the
same time. The results of such a
condition cannot be anything but
bad 1t discourages marriages,
among other things, and those who
have means are living too extrava-
gantly.
The automobile, for instance, un-
fortunately has become a sign of fl
nancial standing. The result is that
it is now often required as much for
show as for use.
This is an age for much business.
We find rich American girls buying
titles. say that nine-tenths of such
marriages are purely commercial.
1t is deplorable.

Misses Stallo). Should any one ask

why Currants Are Nutritious.

The reason why currants are so
remarkably nutritious is that they
consist, to a very large degree. OF
saceharine in its most easily digesti-
BILE form-that OF grape sugar. The
piquant flavor of the, currant, which
adds 30 much to its pleasantness as a
food is derived from the valuable
percentage OF tartaric acid which the
berry contains. Potash is also pre-
sent In the form of cream of tarter
and Is undoubtedly OF dietic value

Home! What a hallowed name
How full of enchantment and how
dear to every heart. How it touches
every fibre of the soul and strikes
every cord of the human heart with
it's angelic fingers. Nothing but
death can break the spell. What
tender associates are linked with
home. What pleasing images and
deep emotions it awakens. 1t calls
upon the fondest memories of life
and opens in our nature the purest,
deepest, richest, flow of consecrated
thought and feeling. Home, home,
there is no place like home. Home
of our childhood, How affection clings
and hovers round thee with her
seraph wings.

The worst habit that boys can fall
into is that of loafing around on the
streets at night. 1t is then they cast
their lot in slippery places when at
any moment they are likely to tall
from grace. All good and noble les
sons taught them by their mother
are there counteracted and nullified.
They learn nothing that is good
but everything bad. The boys who
spend their evenings in the sacred
precincts of home with good books
for their companions are the future
hope of the republic. They will fill
our legislative and congressional
halls and sit in judgment upon men
and measures, while the boys who
run the streets will fill the peniten-
tiaries, almshouses, and lunatic asy-
lums. Parents who are responsible
for these broken laws of decency will
have broken hearts and bowed down
heads in the awakening years that
will inevitably follow.

BAD BILIOUS
Attack I

There Is nothing that will more COM
pletely knock out a man, or woman either,
and entirely incapacitate them for work or
pleasure, than bad attack of biiousness.
You get up with headache which increases
IL you stoop, over. You are dizzy when
you stand up straight again. Your tongue
is coated and your mouth tastes bad. You
are irritable and out of sorts. That's
biliousness.
, If you want to get right again remove
the cause. Your bowels are clogged. The
natural sewers of the body fail to carry off
the poisonous matter. The bile is being
absorbed by the blood, and your whole
body is crying out against the imposition.
Take three Smiths Pineapple and Butter
nut Pills at once. Don't wait till you go to
bed. Then take two more when you retire.
1t is astonishing to see how quickly they
will relieve. They restore the liver and
stomach to normal activity and purify the
blood. Physicians use and recommend.
They form no habit. You should always
keep these little Vegetable Pills on hand.
They ward off many ills.

ELECTRICITY NOW OBTAINED
FROM THE sun.


The StrouusDurg Record published
quite a lengthy article last week.
We copy a portion of the article as
follows:
A Record man had pleasant chat
with John S. Schoonover, the we'll
known Stroudsburg gentleman, on
Monday afternoon, during which he
told of the wonderful invention by
which electrical energy is taken di-
rect from the suns rays and stored
up for use for lighting purposes.
The inventor is George H. Cove and
the company pushing his invention
is known as the Sun Securities Co.
Mr.. Schoonover is the district rep
resentative of the company and so
well known that anything from him
on the subject will naturally have
weight in the public generally. The
gentleman is enthusiastic on the sub
ject and believes the invention great
est in history and will revolutionize
the business.
By means of the new mechanism
known as thermo solar battery
enough current is produced in 10
hours sunlight to supply 80 tung-
stem lamps for three days. The ap-
paratus consists of frame of violet
glass. like a large window, below
which a number of metallic plugs are
set in an insulating material. One
end of each plug is constantly expos
ed to the sun, while the other is
shaded and cool, and the rays per-
mitted to pass by the violet glass set
up reaction in the special alloy
used, causing a constant flow of cur
rent to the storage batteries.
The apparatus is placed on the
roof of a building and the current
secured and stored is conducted by
wires to the lamp. 1t is claimed for
the new mechanism that one suffi-
ciently large to furnish sufficient
current to light say 15-room house
can be installed for $1O0 and will re-
quire no repairs for 10 years. Be-
sides there are great possibilities of
securing heat and power from the
same source, which if it proves true.
will mean much to everyone taking
advantage of it.
The thermo solar battery is not yet
ready for the market, money being
necessary to properly push it. This,
is being raised by the sale of stock,
the par value of which is SO per
share. Men in the electrical business
who know whereof they speak, do
not hesitate to state that the claims
of the inventor are conservative, to
say the least, and that the mechanism
is feasible in every respect and should
prove a wonderful success, in which
event, the Investors will reap the
harvest.
Mr.. Schoonover learned of the in
Yention by the merest accident and
later went to New York to investi-
gate. He found Mr. Cove, the in
ventor, at work on a generator at
11S Maiden Lane, n, Y. While in
the factory, lighted by tungsten
lamps, the electricity for which was
secured from the suns rays, Mr.
Schoonoyer had an opportunity of
looking into and making a careful
examination of the whole arrange
ment, and while he doesn't stand
sponsor for it, or guarantee it, he
was convinced that the inventor
could do all he claimed to and little
more. Mr.. Schoonover satisfied him
self that there were no outside agen-
cies, other than the battery which
absorbed the suns rays. The great
possibilities of the invention, Mr..
believes, will be govern
ed only by the possibilities of the
storage batteries
