Many girl discards her white

without knowing that little effort
will restore them to their pristine
purity.
The first requirement for complete
restoration is not to get the white
shoes too soiled, for they never look
so well as when they are taken In
hand before the discoloration becomes
too deep. After wearing canvas shoes
they should be given good brushing
with stiff brush, the sole edges and
with plain water But do not let the
water get on the canvas, for this will
only serve to fasten the soil the tight

Philadelphia StartIes Teachers Insti-
tute by Saying Tendency to
Lie Is Natural.

Pittsburg, Pa.-That an alarming
proportion of children between the
ages of and 13 years are addicted to
lying, was the statement made by DR..
Earl Barnes of Philadelphia, in an ad-
dress to teachers attending the Ale
gheny County institute. In an address
on "The Truth-Telling of Children"
he referred to a specific instance in
drawing this conclusion and declared
that the tendency to lie is natural un-
der the natural law Of self-preserva-
ton, and that the average child can't
help but lie.
He told his audience that truth tell
ing is not virtue but vice." and
asserted that the fox that tells he
truth will die" He then drew paral-
lels to illustrate his statement. He
insisted that animals that tell the
truth surely will die"
Lying in America began with the
Indians" he said, land he left progeny
behind him to perpetuate his quail
ties"
DR.. Barnes took up business life and
said that on the whole there was
great stability in business as it rests
on mems word. He declared that any
kind of fraud is due to the force of o
weak nature, and contended that this
Is why women are more forceful than
men"
There are 999 truths told to every
one lie in politics." said DR.. Barnes.
"The truth generally is told in trade
and politics. That 500 truths are
told to every one lie in politics may
seem doubtful The trouble Is that
the one lie stands out so plainly that
truthful statements are doubted.
Truth-uelling Is now a vice and not a
virtue. People doubt the truth when
it is told to them, and believe that
most everything they hear is false

IF you will watch a fish that is fed
with bread you will see him eat it

will take it in his mouth and cough 1t

If they are given plenty of light and

the fish are accustomed in their ma
