AS a class, however, optimists are to
be avoided
Is there anyone in your entire roper
toire that you detest with fiercer
and more murderous detestation than
the confirmed optimist? The horrible
| person who always looks on the bright
side. Who sees Il silver lining to every
cloud. Who knows it will all be for the
| best. Who says-"oh. well. she has
a good heart anyway and after you've
lost all your money there's just as
good fish in the sea- and such old
saws as honesty is the best policy"
TO be good is to be happy cheer up
and never forget to smile
And on no account forget to smile
Go grmacirg round and grinning
about like some sublimated chessy-cat
Be sure and don't forget that because
then people will love you on the left
side of the moon.
Why don't optimists let pessimists
in their gloom. There's no pessimist
that doesn't love it. To sit round and
anathematiZe fate, curse heaven and
refuse to be anything but abjectly dis
NAL is often exquisite enjoyment.
In such a state you do not want to
be disturbed by any fiendish optimist

Mrs. Barclay, however. believes in
dispensing optimism. There are very
i few pessimists, indeed, who could re

| If she hadn't sold enough to pay the
publishers bill would her optimism
have been so unQuenchable?
But do not push an optimist too hard

is because they have money enough tc

Bad Compilations
Removed BY Absorption
From Happy HOmes)


It was discovered not long ago that
ordinary mercolized wax had the pow
cr to absorb an old, faded or discolor-
ed complexion-or more literally, the
old cuticle. or outer skin-revealing
the freshcr. healthier underskin,
blooming with the pink of life and the
glow Of youth. The dead and half
dead cuticle comes off SO gradually,
in fine, flour-like flakes. that there is
no pain, no discomfort and no de-
tention from ones everyday duties. OF
course such troubles as chaps,
freckles. moth patches, liver spots,
and fine lines, go with the discarded
skin.
Mercolzed wax, which druggists
generally have in stock. should be
spread over the face at night before

Doctors Prescription For Eczema

The most advanced physicians OF
this country and Europe are now pre-
scribing wash of winetrgreen thymol
and other soothing and healing ingre-
dients for the cure Of Eczema, Psorias-
is and all other forms OF skin trouble.
This compound is known as the D. d.
d. Prescription.
Dr. Holmes, the we'll known skin
specialist, writes: II am convinced
that the d. d. d. prescription is as
much a specific for Eczema as is qui-
nine for malaria, We have been pre-
scribing the ID. D. ID. remedy for
years"
We ourselves vouch for the d. D. D.

ely guarantee that it will take away
the itch the instant you apply it.

THE WILD WEST RIDERS
Cowboys, CowgirIs, Mexicans and
Cossacks Will Give Exhibition
of the Real Thing.

For years, in fact as long as can be
remembered, circuses have always
featured strongly feats of equestrian
ism. Riding acts have always been
the nucleus of the circus, for without
them there would be no circus but
simply vaudeville show, and into
the latter the circus of late years has
apparently drifted. This is due to the
fact that the riding acts have become
monotonous. They are the same to-
day as they were years long passed.
The horse with the same schooled
canter and the rider with the same
schooled movements have not been in
the least changed. Every rider rides
the same, every horse canters the
same until their acts have become as
tiresome as the repeating of the null
tiplication tables. There is complete
absence of anything refreshing or in
MIGRATING 1t is forced unnatural
style and one that fails to either APP
peal to lovers of good horsemanship
or to good horses.
With the 101 Ranch Wild west
Show, which will be here Friday, Oc-
tober 6. there is none of this schooled
style of riding, It is all natural riding,
in which both the horse and rider
have the style and opportunities to
display it. There is no forced gait to
which the horse is compelled to con-
fine himself. There is no set pose for
the rider: it is the natural style OF
riding that both the horse and rider
enjoy and meets with the approval OF
those who enjoy good riding. The
riders with the 101 Ranch show, let
them be the cowboys, cowgirls, Mexi'
cans or Cossacks, are to the manner
born. They ride with a combination

MAY FIND CANCER REMEDY

Baltimore, Nd, Oct. 4.-"For nearly
twoscore years have been doing re-
search work on the composition of the
atoms comprising cellular life Of ami
NAL and vegetable mater, and frank
ly admit that am just at the A, b G
of my investigations"
So declared, with the modesty OF
the great scientist, Prof. Albrecht
Kossel of the University OF Heidel-
berg, Germany, winner of the Nobel
prize of 1910 for the medical dlscoy-
cry of greatest importance to man
kind and considered the greatest liv-
ing savant engaged in medical and
physiological research. Prof. Kossel
begins today series OF three lectures
at Johns Hopkins, in which he makes
his first public bow in America.
The minute cells of animal and veg
etable matter have long been pro
foundly interesting study to scientists,
but Prof. Kossel's researches have had
to do with the atoms composing those
cells-atoms so small that no word In
any language could adequately ex-
press their minuteness. The effects
of these atoms-they are much small
er than molecues-upon the human
system: what ills and diseases may
be traced to them; how, with such In
formation in his grasp, a patient may
be treated, Prof Kossel will describe
in his series of lectures.
II was his belief, he said, that event
ually the research work in which he
is engaged might indicate some treat
ment of cancer and other cellular dis
eases 1--WE are just at the door oil
discovery" he declared, "and while
am not certain on this point, believe
that cancer will soon be vanquished.

of speed, grace and daring that none
others can attain. They are at home
in the saddle or bareback, and to
them horseback riding first became 4
necessity before becoming an accom-
plishment They ride because they
love to ride and not because they are
compelled to ride or fall Off. The
same can be said of the horse when
his movements are considered. His
gait Is not one that is confined to the
small ring. for the 101 Ranch show
uses no rings. II is In the huge arena
that the horse Is seen and his oppor-
tunities are the same as when pro-
vided with unlimited space. There is
no better display of horsemanship i'm
aginable than when the entire COM
pany with speed that Is astonishing
sweep around the arena. There Is
nothing the least artificial in the
movements of either horse or rider.
The display of daring horsemanship
in which the very nerves OF both
horse and riders are taxed to their
very utmost It is the riding of those
who know how to ride and the move
ments of horses that enter into the
game with all the vigor their bodies
contain There is nothing but what
can be considered true horseback rid
ing. There is no trained pace. for
every horse is steeled for his best and
every rider is on his or her mettle.
Such equestrianism is impossible with
any circus under any tent. While this
natural style of riding has done much
to establish the reputation OF the 1ol
Ranch Wild West Show. riding Is but
one of the many features.
