THE MEANING or VANITY.
An Unborn Sense OF the beautiful
Which il Often Misnsed.

Man, by the way. II he be prop
or specimen, will only consider this
trait inexcusahle in other than HE
own womankind, but, ms In mos,
things. there Is vanity. the wisdom
Of which Is entirely governed by the
use or misuse OF The same
An uncultured mind could never
realize the depth Of prettiness 1t can
descend 10, or how paltry vanity may
appear that IL in no way governed
by common sense. An uncontrolled.
insane conceit--or vanity~is not
worth moments discussion.
There Is naturally. In most women.
an Unborn love OF the beautiful, an
artistic instinct that petitions for
soft laces, delicate tints and flowing
draperies. when stern economy pro-
yides only humdrum lindsey wolseys.
Imagine the bitter feeling Of resent
ment possible, If an unkind fate de-
creed the choosing Of stout. service
able boots warranted 10 wear" In
stead OF soft. luxurious glove-kid
that would mold itself 50 elegantly
70 an arched instop, graceful foot
Is Il then only vanity in the ae-
eepted meaning of the word. when
our turn comes and we see our own
feet daintily shod in suede or satin,
with every grace of the foot thus
outlined p IL II vanity or is II ali
appreciation of the beauty of life,
whether II be our foot or another's
whether. indeed II be foot at all,
or face to be suited. or the arrange
meut of a bunch of flowers that not
the least of their beauty may b.
lost?
II Is quite unusual 10 regard with
indulgent forgiveness for her vanity
the woman who ia always carefully
dressed at all times. though 1t woutst
be far more correct probably toI
credit her with love of comp etc
ness an dorder so extolled by Ruskin
And IL it does take longer to braid
ones tressess In a becoming manner
instead of an uRinteresting knot
the result warrants IT, inasmuch as
the outside world has a pleasing pre-
sentiment offered instead of a rag
tag and bob-tail apology for refined
womanhood What passes for vanl~I
+ is sill very well so long as this
vanity is confined to ones face ana
form. The love of the beautiful
must embrace ones inner life as
we'll as the outer.
1t is the vanity that Is not govern
eli by common sense that suggests
compressing the beautiful lines and
curves Of the human body into al
shapeiess casing of the hour-gtass
type. Again. the thrusting of ter
shapely toes into a boot several sizes
too smail-or even one size too
small--is TO betray ones ignorance
Of the truly beautiful If such an
action be persisted in. The ugliness
of the ill-temper produced from
tortured feet is quite sufficient to
show that in case of this descrip-
tiog cultivation of the love of The !
beautiful has no place. 1t would be
ill-advised 20 call this operation wan
Ity:" there can be no vanity In crush
ing out of shape anything so lovely

oneself pain and discomfort thar
must all too surely find EXPIRE sion |
in the face and rob even that of It's
beauty. Such is not vanity, it is |
merely ignorance. Philadelphia III |

 When I see woman physicians struggling for a living here and know what field there is in India, l feel as though they must be told.
 The kind of work I have been doing is ter rife appeal to the sympathes We have to respect caste, which makes nearly all of long standing One woman whom treated came to me with her entire arm in a gangrenous condition. She had prcked her finger seven months before, at the time of her husbands death. On account of her caste she could not so much as leave the house for the seven months, during which time septicemia set in and went up as far her shoul. der told her that her arm would have to be am- putated. She refused absolutely to part with it. and died a result.
 Another woman burned her knee and turned up at the hospital five months later with that part of her leg in terrible condition. The leg cut oil and the woman made perfect recovery.
 Y went many miles into the interior to see an injured woman. She had fallen down a well and was IGdTluIly bruised all over. l found her lying on the floor grinding corn every turn of her arm causing the most intense agony. She couldn't bear to have me even touch her, she was suffering so. l told her husband she had to be taken to the hospital or she would die and he asked who would cook the bread if she were gone He refused to allow her to go. All l could do was to leave a little medicine"
 Dr. Stephenson finds that the natives invariably prefer using ointments to clean dressings Women come in large numbers to get ointments for raw where their husbands have beaten and chi them and they are full of gratitude to the doctor She finds that those of high class are just as bru tally treated and just grateful as the lowest

TOWN AND COUNTRY LOYAL
Home Industry Patronage Is the Best Evidence of Successful and
 Prosperous Community.

The country town and surrounding farming district should be organized upon basis of cooperation. That is, there should be mutual business re- lationship existing between the mer- chant, shop owner, mechanic and farmer that would demonstrate their cooperative fitness into the affairs of life, by qualification and occupa- tion, to profit by each others assist ance. The spirit of business loyalty that is emphasized by home industry patronage is the best evidence of a successful and prosperous community, says Twentieth Century Farmer.
 There should be more attention paid to the cooperative interests of the farmer and the towns people. All evidence of discord or lack of harmony in joining together for the building up of both town and country, should be discouraged The most successful towns are those whose efforts have been strongest in encouraging the farmers institute, the county fair, the buying of improved stock, the ad- vocacy of improved public highways and the aiding by every reasonable means the enhancement of farm land and town property values
 The spirit of agricultural education has spread among the people, and the ambition has become so intense in ex- hibition rivalship that producers con- tests are demanded. This offers a splendid opportunity for the town and country to join interests in the organ ization of a local fair for the benefit of both town and country The farmer can exhibit of the products of the farm and the merchant and artisan the wares of the store and shop.
 It is the farm and farmer that make it possible for the town to exist, and on the other hand the town extends to the farm and farmer advantages in carrying on the work of production that cannot be dispensed with. Co., operation of town and country is the evidence of thrift.

 The best way to cultivate an appe- tite is to cultivate field. Then you'll have both the appetite and the means of gratifying 1t.
 When you get sore on the world don't forget that it will not hurt the world at all, while it vii do you in- conceivable harm.
 You have doubtless read the lives of a good many of our presidents, but you cannot recall that any one of them contained a sentence like this: "He was the best. pool player in his town when he was a boy.'
 The middle men took the profits of the farmer until he began to fight hard to get better prices, and now the mid dle man has concluded that he might as well get what he has lost by the farmer out of the consumer, and he is.
 Justice, equity and the Golden Rule are cardinal doctrines of the Farmers union, but there are other things that seem to be more attractive just now among the membership. Faith, Hope and Charity, but the greater of these is Charity" don't seem to be much in evidence just now.

INTEREST FARMER IN UNION
Texas Lecturer Tells of Many Diffi- cultes in Getting Intelligent Men
 Into Organization.

While this county is not as thor | oughly organized as it should be, we 1 have some as good union ladies and men as there is in the state, and we are living up to unionism and keeping an eye on the other fellow. l am com missioned as lecturer and organizer by our state lecturer, and have been doing some general work of that kind in this county under contract with the County union, writes J. R. Maxey of Corrigan, Tex, in Co-Operator. But my contract is now filled with the County union, so I will now take up the work and organize where l can, and help the cause every way pos sible I find the union spirit dominant in the great majority, but there Is carelessness akin to sluggishness about organizing or coming into the organization. They seem to think that they are no part of the element that composes the Farmers Union or should compose it.
 While they know it is good thing and hope for it's great success and defend the principles of the union, etc., yet it is a hard matter to enlist them in the order. Now, dear broth CTS in this great cause, it seems to me that we have got to redouble our eff forts and enlist the non-union element we have got to interest him in the union to such an extent as to create a desire to become a member. There bot tn Or some way to reach. By giving open meetings and public discussions of the principles of the Farmers union and the necessity for organization. If we can't get a good speaker from a dis tance let us use home talent; there is always some one that is a good talker and can interest the people, and when a lecturer sends an appointment to place see that it is well advertised and that everybody is cordially invited and requested to attend. Make it. pleasant and interesting and not mere ly a function or an order of business that we feel under obligations to at
 tend. It seems to me, in order to make the Farmers union what it should be, or what it is intended to be, we have got to make a persona; application of all the principles of the order. Realizing the condition of the great common people and the possibil' ities, ah! the certainty of their deliv. erance from under the yoke of oppres. sion and monopolistic greed, and the independence of the farmer through the administration of the principles of the Farmers union it is a mystery to me why so many intelligent people will stay out of the organization that promises so much to them and theirs. In conclusion let me ask, even beg, all within the ranks of the Farmers union to remember our obligations to one another, and in the name of justice and for the sake of our grand old order and our wives and children to stop their wrangling, and if there has been any wrong done we can right it through the order. But never out of it.
