Will and Frank Preston, former
Laclede boys who left here many

S. Mahurin and o. Y. Watson on

should be at his best. The home
ought to be a heaven. 1t ought to
be as nearly heaven as possible on
earth. There should be no purposely
withered flowers about the hearth
stone and no purposely clouded
sunbeams. Selfishness alone ought
to be sufficient to make home con-
duet exemplary. Certainly all want
a pleasant home. Certainly all
want smiles instead of frowns.
Do not sit and ponder over
trouble; you cannot dispel it by
making yourself miserable. Never
look into the future with despair;
you cannot cross a bridge until
you come to it. Don't harrow
your mind over things that cannot
be helped. Live confding in the
present. The past cannot now be
remedied, and you have yet to try
the future.
Half the marriages in the world
are nothing but bubbles and barter.
A man wants a wife. He casts
about for an even exchange. In
year he is tired of his bargain. In
five years love is dead, and cold
browed tolerance inherits loves
garments. In twenty years toler-
ance is at it's grave and hate reigns
supreme. The wife is naggy and
prickIy and peckish. The husband
is dogmatical and reticent and
mean. But they hang together on
the bough, like two gnarled and
frosted apples until the winds of
death dislodge them and away they
go. The only way to be rid of
bubble marriage-marriages that
turn out emptiness with one drop
dfop aF-is to educate our boys
and girls to something higher than
playing with pipes and soapy water.
Give them something more earnest
to do and see that they do it. Com
pei men and women to choose their
life companions with at least
1.-THE of the solemnity they bring to
the selection of carriage horse or
ribbon.
The mother who radiates peace,
radiates strength also. The rest
lessness, the noise, the rush OF the
life of today, make it all the more
necessary to maintain within the
home an atmosphere of serenity
and sweetness that, the thresholo
once crossed, the outside noise and
clatter and strife are left securely
behind. This is, perhaps, an old
fashioned conception of home.
If one desires to improve in
manners he can never do so except
by mingling with the refined and
good. Difidence often keeps back
those who have in early life but
few social advantages. The only
way to overcome this painful
difficulty is to plunge init is one
of the most easily cured OF all NAL
aides. A bath in the braclng
ocean of social life will enable a
person to keep his footing brave
ly.

the late rains have helped fruits

BALDHEADED MEN.
Ignorance Of the Hair Causes Much
Badness Amonq Men.

Early piety doesn't cause badness,
neither does any kind of piety Some
baldheaded men console themselves
with the idea that badness is caused
by a superabundance Of gray brain
matter, and would have the world be-
lleve that a baldhead is a sign Of
great intellect.
Such, however, is not the case.
Ninety-nine times in one hundred,
badness is caused by dandruff germs
which dig down deep into the roots
of the hair, destroy its vitality and
cause it to fall out
All this may come gradually ana
take time, but as an up-to-date humor-
list would say, whats time to a dan
druff GERM
If you have dandruff, the little in
visible, persistent devils called dan
druff germs are at work. Destroy
them at once, or sooner or later they
will cause your hair to fall out and
jyou will be compelled to take your
place in the baldheaded class.
In France baldheads are few be-
cause men understand how to care for
the hair Partisan Sage is a hair
grower and invigorator that IS guar
anteed by E. ]. Jenkins to grow hair
if the hair root is not already de-
stroyed, to eradicate dandruff, stop
Itching scalp and falling hair, or
money back.
Fifty cents for a large bottle at
e. j. Jenkins and druggists every
where on money back plan.
