In the Face of Palm.

= Instances Of bravery in the face Of
the most intense pain are Of daily 90
eurrence, but even in cases Of dif.
6cult and tedious operations the ct.
stention paid to them is slight unless
they are undergone as result Of SELF
sacrifice. A case where a friend sac
e 1if1ces a few pieces Of skin to be
grated on victim of burns or scalds
will be told of at length, while the man
who suffers just as much pain from a
/roken leg is not considered worthy Of
mention. The man who lies gasping
z iOr breath with an attack Of inter-
O0stal neuralgia is sometimes consid-
cred a laughable spectacle. but a
sprained and swollen wrist would gain
him prompt sympathy and help. The
amount of pain that is endured gen.
orally Is not taken into consideration;
the circumstances of the case form the
basis for the opinions of the outsider.

FRIGHTENING A DARK ROOM
Dark Woodwork Should Not Be Toll
Grated and Gloomy Paper Should
Be Avoided.

In nearly every city house there Is
always sure to be one dark and
gloomy room. It casts its depression
upon all who enter 1t, and yet one
Is often at loss as to what should
Be done to. dissipate the lugubrious ef-
feet.
1t should be dealt with ruthlessly.
White paint and enamel should be
used with q generous hand. Dark
woodwork should not be tolerated,
and dull or gloomy paper should be
avoided. Hang the room In q paper
1t 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, II possible, should be
used, for they aid wonderfully in
frightening q dark room. but they
pust not be hung too high, as they
viii only reflect the ceiling. while they
should catch the cheerful fame Of an
open FIRE and repeat its CLEAN.
No one thing Is more successful in
destroying the depressing atmos-
phere Of q room than an inside win
dow box. This box can BE- made at
Gactive by 9 thin covering Of brass
Or copper that will add to the bright
ness Of the room. and the plants
should b chosen with an eye to their
color.
When the furniture in your dark
and depressing room has been covered
with q gay cretonne and magazines,
books and papers have been strewn
about, this room, which filled every
one with q feeling Of aversion and
discomfort, will become the favorite
resort of the family.

An ego is a Latinlzed l. All men are

things Of which neither statute, ukase,

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
Hhem II they secured the votes. Hence
0gos are not a political issue.
An ego Is what q man Is when he
has nothing and Is nothing else; that

singular and no particular gender.
q 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

AVOID HARSH DRUGS.
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause
Injury to the Bowels.

If you are subject to cOnStipa-
ton, you should avoid strong
drugs and cathartics. They only
give temporary relief and their
reaction is harmful and some
times more annoying than con-
stipatiOn. They in no way effect
cure and their tendency is to
weaken the already weak organs
with which they come in con-
tact.
We honestly believe that We
have the best constipation treat
ment ever devised. Our faith in
it is so strong that We sell it on
the positive guarantee that it
shall not cost the user a cent if
It does not give entire satisfac--
ton and completely remedy con-
stipatiOn. This preparation is
called Rexall 0rderlieS. These
are prompt, soothing and most
effective in action. They are
made of a recent chemical discOv-
cry, Their principal ingredient
is OdOrleSS, taStelesS, and colOrless
combined with other well known
ingredients, long established for
their usefulness in the treatment
of constipation, it forms a tablet
which is eaten just like candy.
They may be taken at any time,
either day or night, without fear,
of their causing any incOnven-
fence whatever. They do not
grippe, purge nor cause nausea.
They act without causing any
pain or excessive lOOseneSS of the
bowels. They are ideal for child
rem, weak, delicate persons and
aged people as we'll as for the
most hearty person.

was very young and the deacon was
very tenderly and cautiously raising
him on bottle. He hesitated about
venturing to feed the animal without
changing his clothes. but his time was
limited. so he took the bottle and
went to the barn. The calf choked
