persons die each year from the for

EASY TO KEEP LACERS TIED
Untidy Appearance Of Foot Done
Away With II Simple Precau-
tions Are Taken.

Nothing is more untidy or more
troublesome than shoe lacers that slip
and become united. This can SO cas-
lily be prevented that 1t is the more
inexcusable.
If lacer has one loop pulled
through the bow that is tied in the
usual way and is then given a firm
pull 1t will rarely become undone.
II ordinary mohair lacers or even
silk ones are slightly waxed they will
stay tied much longer. Should the
metal end come of either shoe or a
corset lacer 1t can be pulled through
the hole quite easily by waxing ends
to a point.
Ribbon lacers should be tide in a
fiat, square bow. with the end brought
twice through the loop. Heavy gros.
grain ribbon not only keeps its shape
better and wears longer. but 1t comes
united less easily than softer ribbons.

This has been well known to the best

THE RETURN TO MOTHER.

Just as in all our lives there comes
a time when we go back to the great,
sweet Mother Earth for solace, so,
too, there comes time in every
mans life when he turns back to his
mother to renew the early memoir
les, to gather together and hold in
one continuous body of being the
thoughts, the suggestions, the ten
denotes and impulses which have
made him what he is, which have
given the form and content to his
life. If the mother is still living,
there is a renewal of the old relation
of mental intercourse, tender under
standing, comment and counsel and
sitting of events. But If the mother
is dead, she may count upon the COM
none the less, and she may
know that all her little words and
smiles, her daily goings. her efforts,
and her works will live again, con-
secrated by loss and sorrow to hallow
the daily ways of her son. -Harper's

THE MARRIAGE QUESTION.

Most men look forward to getting
married. If they can they will prob
ably deny it. A young man will pre-
varicate here whose word could be
taken on anything else. Yet it is a
fact that for very many of us the fate
Of matrimony is in store, and so why
should we be afraid to discuss this Of
all subjects?
In our decision in this case lies our
future happiness or misery. A young
man ought most certainly marry, but
let him keep in mind that the true
idea Of matrimony is to create happy
homes.
1t seems strange that many young
men who could be trusted to transact
business in satisfactory manner,
and who are otherwise levelheaded,
cannot be trusted to successfully nego-
tiate matrimony. Many promising
career has been, and is at the present
time, spoiled by what could have been
avoided by little foresight
A young man in choosing life
partner must look out for one whom
he can love and respect. The wise
