The eirl of wealth is educated on

The girl of wealth is educated on
most rigid lines her training is so
wide and 30 thorough, her opportu
mites so great that, when reverses
come. there is preparation. though
perhaps unconscious. 1t is the girl
who knows she must look after her
self some day who too frequently
makes the least of the opportunities
she has and is without ambition or
too fond of a good time to make
ready for life work, much less for
reverses.
BY the time a girl is Is or Is the
responsibility for her futureaarests
with herself. Parents can give ad-
vantages; they cannot compel them
to be used. The girl who is not
awake to the necessity of making
the most of herself, of learning thor
oughly everything she studies and of
specializing on the thing she likes
most, has only herself to reproach
if calamity finds her unprepared.
If only for her own peace of mind
a girl should see to it that she is
ready to meet reverses. Even the
butterfly will have hours when she
faces facts and shivers with fear of
unsheltered days ahead. Though
such days may never come, the fear
of them is unpleasant.
Sometimes a girl is unready for
reverses from lack of means. She
knows what she can do, but has no
money to 60 into training. This is
unfortunate, but not hopeless
A girl with grit and ambition can
prepare herself for reverses by sheer
will power. Sometimes she can Dor
row money for a technical training
more often she works hard at,what
she can and on that for which she
has talent.
The main thing is for parents and
girls both to realize that the girl
who faces the future unframed for
any one line of work is starting life
under a handicap that will leave
her far in the rear in the race for
success. She may forge to first
| place, bnt at the cost of nervous
strength and drudgery that early
training could prevent.
The saying, Never trouble trouble
until trouble troubles YOU" is the
silliest sort of advice. The girl who
would like a comfortable life, free
from nervous forebodines, is she
who faces the possibilities of trouble
makes ready for it, then refuses tC
worry about its coming. National

A BALD.HEADED WON
AN
Shorn Of Her Crown Of Beauty Loses
in Love and Marriage.

Hair is certainly most necessary
to woman. Who could love and
marry bald-headed woman? What
charms could one array to offset
such Disagreement?
A woman's goal is usually love
and marriage. Her browning glory
is her hair. The loss of her hair
mars her beauty, happiness, and
success. Yet. right here in Monroe
City, there are thousands of women
who are neglecting or injuriDg their
hair to such an extent that it is
only a matter of time when it will
be utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty
of their hair through thoughtless-
ness or ignorance of certain facts.
They use curling irons over-heated,
or to excess, which destroys the
natural oil of the hair, causing it to
split, break, and come out. They
do not shampoo their hair often
enough. or TOO often They use
soaps or preparations which contain
ingredients positively harmful to
the scalp and hair.
AS a result of such treatment.
dandruff is created, the hair loosens,
loses color, falls out, and badness
commences. unless proper and
prompt precautions are taken in
time. Then again, microbes and
certain diseases bring about I'M
healthy scalp and hair conditions.
Almost any woman may rid her
self of dandruff and diseased scalp
and hair if she will but use the
RICH: remedy. We have that REM
edy. and we will positively euaran-
tee that it will either cure dandruff
and badness or it will not cost the
user anything.
That's a pretty broad statement.
but we will back it and prove it
with our own money. We will re-
turn your money if you do not find
that Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is an
, entirely satisfactory remedy that
will promote hair growth and over
come scalp and hair troubles; that
it will grow hair even on bald heads
unless all life in the hair roots has
J been extinguished, the follicles clos
, ed, and the scalp is glazed and
shiny. 1t gets its name from the
fact that it grew hair in SO out of
100 cases. where it received a thor
oughly hard, impartial, and practi-
, cal test.
, We want you to try Rexall 49,

Drag the Dirt Roads.
while addressing Missouri far

I Texas special agricultural train, C.
P. Light, field secretary of the
American Association for Highway
Improvement, asked how much it
was worth to drag the mile of road
that usually joins a quarter section
farm The farmers replied that it
could easily be done for dollar.
And about how many rains may
you expect during an ordinary
summer" asked Mr.. Light He was
told that about ten rains would be
the average, says the Missouri and
Kansas Farmer.
Then it will only cost each one of
you $40 year to have good roads
all of the time. Is it worth $10?"
Every one agreed that it was, and
much more. Mr.. Lights belief is
that the township should pay the
farmers for dragging the roads. but
in the meantime until such a sys-
tenn is adopted farmers should have
enough interest in good roads to do
nate that much. time.

is discouraging to people who are

say nothing about not getting any

In such cases we would suggest
this: Instead of acknowledging
yourself beaten and quitting the job
suppose you not only drag your own
road but your neighbours also. II
you should drag his road all sum-

experiment would be worth trying

Old Aunt Sally, the highly es-

was frequently praised for her cul-
mary skill. and on one occasion,
when number of guests had been
to dine with the family, remark was
made touching the beautiful appear
ance of Sally's pie, which showed a
very pretty scallop on its edge. In
quiry being made as to how the
old lady managed to get such an
even design, Sally was summoned
to the dining room and the ques-

emotions of the guests may be

Every Girl Should Have a Trade

Every Girl Should Have Trade.
The president of one of the biggest
corporations in the land, a man
whose wealth and social standing
are unquestioned, is training his
children boys and girls alike, to be
ready for self-support at the first
need of it. Besides his regular col
lege education, each child is able to
work with his hands, the boys are
skilled cabinet makers and the only
daughter could be a proficient music
teacher or dressmaker.
This is most un-American, unfor-
tunately. Mistaken kindness of
parents too often breeds poverty and
incompetency for the children they
have given every advantage, save a
practical, working education No
where do riches take more sudden
ly to fiishtsthan with us. Nowhere
is there less preparation for such re-
verses.
One does not want to be a pessi-
mist, always preaching possible ca
lamity, but it is well to impress up
on children the uncertainty of wealth
and the need of being able to face
reverses Young people, naturally
happy-go-lucky and thoughtless, live
T! in the present, so the parent is to
blame for not thinking of.the future
Oddly, it is often the parents OF
moderate means who are least par
ticular in practical training for chill
dren. They struggle along them
selves. keep the children in school
as long as they can. bot are too busy
or too short-sighted to see that the
child needs something more = the
knowledge from the start that she
alone must carve her own future
and must learn early to manage heI
own tools.

that the areas, when corrected, are
slightly less than the rough area orig

in fact, the floor area on the bulkhead
plan is some $4,000 square feet less
than the area noted on the charcoal
