BY EBERT HUBBARD

Every tyrant who ever lived has
believed in freedom-for himself.
Sometimes he has been generous and
has been willing to give freedom to
few others whom he deemed fair
ly intelligent. But freedom for all
nonsense they would cut them
selves with 1t.
believe more in the goodness of
bad people than in the badness Of
good people.
Joyous are the busy. dissatisfied
are the idle.
The blaming of woman for all the
ills of the world Is the browning
blunder Of certain creeds.
1t is better to be lied about than
to lie.
The old woman who wants her
photo to look like coy maiden has
forgotten that death Is as natural as
life. -
He'll Is a separation and Heaven
Is only going home to our friends
God looked upon His work and saw
that 1t was good. That is where the
clergy take issue with Him.
Ignorance is not so bad as decep
ton.

who have succeeded in Kidding them
selves OF the friendship OF many.

A MODERN BARN
The Fra

A hundred years ago, a barn Of
any kind that was shelter for an ami.
NAL, and kept it from freezing was
q good barn. Milk that sustained life
was all that was required. Milk was
milk. Those who had 1t to use were
nourished. The rest were half starv-
ed. The cattle were sheltered in Au.
gean stables. but there was no Her
cules to cleanse them. Cows stood
knee deep in barn litter.
Cattle were shut into a stable, dark
and unventilated. Doors were closed
and fastened. The little openings
which were called by grace win
dows" had no glass in them. No sun
light ever came into the stable. A
wide open bucket was used to milk
in. and the restless, unhappy COW
had the freedom Of her untidy tail.
The milk was often set on shelf in
the stable behind the cows. until 1t
was convenient to take 1t into the
house. Now, when We are demanding
better food In order to nourish bet
ter people, We require sanitary
barns. We insist upon pure milk.
and In order to have 1t We build by.
gienic barns, great, big. roomy barns,
automatically ventilated, where the
fresh air is pouring down in front
of the cows all of the time, the bad
air Is perpetually drawn out from
the floor so that the cows are breath
ing pure air.
We are giving our most careful at
tention to the food that We give the
cows. A balanced ration, clean whole
some, appetizing, Is furnished. Not
long ago a breakfast food was ad
vertised in this way: Tell me whaI
you eat and / will tell you what 20,
think" This is not a discussion t.
prove whether this Ia true or not
but men who take care Of cow
know that the milk shows what tn,
cows eat. Men of science hav,
spent much time and thought On tn,
question Of diet for mich COWS
There are as many balanced ration
for cows offered on the market a

WHAT A GIRLS
CLOTHES TELL
ABOUT HER

In an article on "A Girl and Her
Clothes" published in the March Wo-
mans Home Companion, apears the
following:
You may not speak word to me,
but the manner and line of you the
gentle or brusque, gracious or awk-
ward little tricks Of body, the way
you walk, the hat you wear, the
clothes, the gloves, the color and
fashion Of them the manner OF wear.
ing them-all these along with the
look in your eyes, are expressing you
and are saying to me: She belongs
to this class, or that She is this
manner Of person, or that See, she
is careless See, she is tired and
worn. She Is a person Of good judg-
ment', or whimsical; dependable,
a person of loveliness;' unloveliness;
Of taste, or lack of taste. Don't you
understand what we are saying to
you? These things seem to say: Look
at us! Read us! AS plain as day!
Whether We realize II or not We are
perpetually expressing ourselves and
our clothes speak for us-condemn
US or recommend us, praise us or
blame us,-as plainly as though they
spoke with voices like our own.
have seen girls apply to business
houses, seeking positions, and have
seen them refused good positions
and they never guessed the reason.
Some of them brought with them rea-
sonably good letters Of recommends
ton saying perhaps that they were
capable, willing. But Of what avail
was that when all the while huge
masses of yellow puffs, dowdy
clothes, low necked shirtwaists and
tawdry imitation jewelry, badly cho-
sen and designed, were saying as
plain as could be, She has no judg-
ment. She does not know true values.
She is frivolous. Could you trust
girl to be careful of your accounts
who Is so evidently careless Of her
her own?
Then the kind heartedness of the
employer, perhaps hesltates. After
all, might she not do, this little girl
making pitiful enough showing as
she sits waiting for an answer? Isn't
it right to give her chance any
way?
We'll, I've told you the truth, the
puffs seem to say, you can heed 1t or
not as you choose, that is your az
fair. You wouldn't be advised by me
the huge hat speaks, looking a little
insulting; don't blame me, gave You
fair notice! And the jingling bangles
and mock silver purse and the vanity
box clank little fretfully as the girl
rises. It's no fault of ours If your
business is neglected! Don't blame
us! We warned you! they seem to
say"

THE DRINKER
AND THE
DRUNKARD

mere Is slgulHCant ulStinCtiou
drawn by DR.. Aked in his discussion
Of Christianity and temperance III
Appleton's Magazine-the distinction
between drinking and drunkenness.
Inc evils OF drunkenness are no
them. Few people seek to minimize
them. And nobody on the face of the
earth defends drunkenness. And yet
one the whole view, IL seems certain
that the harm done by the drinking
which never passes into drunkenness
Is greater than that caused by all
the drunkenness in the world. This
is not the same thing as saying-as
temperance advocates are often ac-
cused CT saying-that the moderate
drinker is a worse man than the
drunkard. 1t Ia simple statement
of fact that in bulk the injury done
by the constant use of alcoholic liq-
uors in quantities insufficient to Gre
ate drunkenness is greater and more
widespread than the more patent and
demonstrable harm done by alcoholic
excess. Drunkenness has stained
some of the noblest names, destroyed
some of the finest intellects, ruined
some of the bravest souls of pulpit
and pew. The priest and prophet
have erred through strong drink. ALI
this is known, indispu,abie. But
there Is something more. Every man
or woman familiar with the work of
the churches has pondered, some
times almost in the agony of spirit,
the problem presented by the mass
Of Snug, callous indifference which
no preaching or pleading can pierce.
The preacher with his heart afame
making himself one with his Re-
deemer in the effort to seek and save
the lost, receiving branded upon his
soul the stigmata Of Christ, sees in
his congregation and in the circle of
cent Indifference to human sin and
human suffering az comes near to
making shipwreck Of his faith in man
and in the power of God to save man
from himself. Is mere not cause !
Inc nabituai use OF intoxicating
AJAX in quantities which never go
beyond what is called moderation, "
which has never caused drunkenness
and which probably never will, ere
ates more than anything else with
which We have to do the type OF
! character so hard to move. The as
pirations have been a little dulled
the conscience made little less sen
sitive, the emotions little less re
sponsive by the daily use of drug
drug called alcohol" Would any
reasonable human being ask the most
eloquent Of living preachers to speak
his message to a number Of persons
who had been drugged into insensi

enable person expect the best result
from preaching to people who hat
been chloroformed into semi-insensi
bility? Why make people dull ant
heavy and stupid, and expect swift
responsiveness. generous ardor, warn
hearted zeal? 1t is My question o
degree. The drink habit az practice,
among really nice people, good mel
and good women. people who hav
never been what Is called tn
worse" for drink and who neve
will be, has q certain physiologica
effect, and that effect is demonstrat
ed in the indifference found anon,
ten thousand congregations through
out the land. 1t is not drunkenness
which is the preachers deadiiest en-
envy; 1t Is drinking Exchange.
