Heart toHeart
Talks.
Is IT FAIR?
BY EDwEN A. NvR
This is a true story:

Is ii FAX!
This is true story:
A farmers daughter. twenty-one. was
teaching school some distance from her
home. She received word that her
mother had broken down physically,
and the doctors said she must have a
long rest.
The daughter resigned her school
work and went home to do the work
of the household and nurse the mother.
She made great sacrifice. The girl
was saving her money in order to take
a college course.
For three years this good girl has
been the homemaker. She has nursed
her mother back from the verge of the
grave. Her service and sacrifice have
required all the strength she could
summon. She has iabored on an aver
age eighteen hours day.
Well, the mother is much better, but
still is a semi-invalid 1t may be
long time before she is completely re-
stored. On the one hand, the daughter
feels she ought to stay longer; on the
other hand she feels that she owes
certain duties to herself.
Now
There is a brother twenty-one. In the
three years since the daughter got
home he has attended agricultural col
lege one year. he has bank account
of nearly $1,000, and now the father
has taken him into partnership. and
hereafter he will get full share of the
sTarm's earnings.
The daughter has had nothing.
Having a pride in her own ability,
she has purchased her clothes from
her own little savings
Is that fair?
Neither the father nor the brother
appears to appreciate the girls great
self abnegation. They take it for
granted she should do what she has
done willingly and without pay.
And
Should the girl go away every one
would exclaim at her "heartlessness
land selfishness."
But is 1t fair?
Why should the girl be called upon
to make all the sacrifice? Is 1t not
enough that she should have given up
for so long the realization of her chez
fished dreams?
And hers is one Of several such cases
that have come under my personal at
ssention.
Il it fair?

TRANSMISSION on sLoop.

United States Senator Luke Lea of
Tennessee gave quart of bis blood to
save the life of his invalid wife.
The operation is an object lesson
which strikingly illustrates the great
advance In medical science.
Mrs Lea was much reduced and
growing steadily weaker. 1t was de-
cided by the physicians that the trans

Who would furnish the blood?

made which showed that the blood Of

cheeks the dush faded from the face

The TRANSMISSION continued for an
hour and half.
At the end OF that time. although
Senator Lea urged the surgeons to
continue IL there were any doubt as
to the success OF the operation. the
slow beating of the blood through the
tube was arrested.
Then Senator Lea fell to the door in
a faint.

In explanation it is stated young

years ago and quit and that he is en-.
gagged to be married.
Further. that Mr. Gates was preju-
diced against football and believed
that boxing is the best exercise; also.

Dairyinu In Winter.

Winter dairying has many advan.
tages. In the first place. all dairy
products sell at high price in the
winter. If cows come fresh in the fal
they produce II good flow of milk dur.
spring when they are turned on grass
this acts as second freshing and
thus iengthens he period of milk pro-
duction. Another distinctive advan-
tage is that during the winter season
the farmer Is not so busy with other
work; consequently be can give more
time to the care of the cows. the milk
and the cream than is possible In the
busy season.

can see all one ought to see by looking
the other way. For instance:

There is only one way. Every stu

that way or fail of success. You must
cultivate the power to shut out the

ethe matter near to hand.
Is It not SO?
IL you would specialize in your work
sax would be folly to be wise to the
things outside your speciality.
the paradox that ignorance often
s'xines is wisdom is strangely true.
