The hypoerite q Genius.

Really to be a bypocrite must re-
quire a horrible strength Of character.
An ordinary man such as you or gen.

enough energy to be a man. But the
hypocrite must have enough energy to
be two men, 1t is said that liar
should have u good memory. But
hypocrite must have not only q good
memory Of the past. but consistent
and creative vision Of the future: his
unreal self must be 50 far real to him.
The perfect hypocrite should be trin-

Good Advice Regarding the Pre-

If people would only fortify ami

weakened j, becomes easily infected with
germs which cause many OF the diseases
to which flesh is heir. Healthy mucous
membranes are essential safeguards OF
the body's general health.

coughs, cold, pneumonia, and such like
infection diseases, is remedy that will

The D. A. R. THEFTS.

Chapters OF the Daughters OF the
American Revolution throughout the
country have received official notice
from Mrs Matthew T. Scott, presidents
general, that Miss Sarah B. Maclay, an
employe OF the society since it's organi-
zation, IS years ago, was guilty Of the
defalcatiOns that have been going on
in the Washington Office for the past
eight years. 1t is stated that, when
confronted with prOOfs Of her guilt, Miss
Maclay confessed having systematic
ally looted the mails and the total
amount Of the shortage Is not known.
The name OF Miss Maclay was for some
time withheld from the public as being
guilty OF the thefts, and In fact was not
made known until popular clamOT de-
maBded It. There were some 40 en-
plOyes in the Office at Washington and
their friends demanded that justice be
done them by making public the name
OF the guilty one and thus relieve the
innocent from the cloud that hung over
all alike. The Withholding OF Mics
Maclay's name has been the cause Of
the death Of one employe who broke
down under the weight Of that Gus
picion which rested on all. Another
employe who it was feared would be-
come a nervous wreck is fortunately
i'm proving and will iu all probability
soon resume her duties. The name of
Miss Maclsy should have been pub
lished at once that the innocent might
not be made to suffer With the "guiIty." "
