ALL MEN ARE CREATED EG0S
Endowed by Creator With Certain In.
alcnahIe Something's of Which
Nothing Can Deprive Them.

An ego is a Latinized l. All men are
treated egos and endowed by theil
creator with certain inalienable some
things of which neither statute. ukase
edict, injunction, beggar, magnate
book agent nor promoter can deprive
them. He who steals my purse steals
trash, but he who filches from me my
ego takes that of which he already has
enough and makes me not at all.
Women without votes have egos, and
strangely enough, would still have
them If they secured the votes. Hence
egos are not political issue.
An ego is what man is when he
has nothing and is nothing else; that
is to say, he is then first person
singular and no particular gender.
An ego is neither soul, body. spirit,
family, country nor race. 1t is neither
moral nor pathological A criminal has
just as much ego as a parson and no
more. Some egos are better than
others--chiefiy our own.-Life.

II should be dealt with ruthlessly.
White paint and enamel should be
used with a generous hand Dark
woodwork should not be tolerated,
and dull or gloomy paper should be
avoided. Hang the room in a paper
OF suny yellow hues, put up only cur
tains of thin net, and decorate your
walls with pictures framed in white
and gold and silver gray frames.
Many mirrors, If possible, should be
used, for they aid wonderfully in
Frightening a dark room, but they

No one thing is more successful in
destroying the depressing atmos-

tractive by thin covering of brass
or copper that will add to the bright

should be chosen with an eye to their

about, this room, which filled every
one with feeling of aversion and

THOROUGHBRED ANIMALS AND

There is as much difference be-

plants as between thoroughbred and
ordinary animals" This statement
is made by D. NJ Ferry & Co., of De-
troit, the greatest flower and vege-
table breeders in the country, anI
appears in their 1911 Annual Cata-
logue just issued. They argue for the
great value and economy of ,norougn-
bred seeds. Any fundamental ma
tural law which applies to animals ap-
plies equally to plants" A good COW
ii. e. a thoroughbred) eats no more
than a poor one, but may give twice
as much butter-fat Good blood"
makes as much difference with corn
as with cows. But thoroughbred
plants, like thoroughbred animals,
are not produced in one or two gener-
ations. for no matter how superior an
individual Of common origin may be,
its Drogency are as a rule like the
general run of it's antecedents. Hence
the need for seedsmen like D. NJ.
Ferry & Co. They have experience,
the best plant breeding equipment in
the United States, and the business

stocks for many generations.
