GIVING THE PLUG HIS DUE
steadysoins, Sensible Qualities Are
Not Always Accorded the Recog-
milton That They Deserve.

Don't make fun of the plug. He may
be slow and awkward and never get
to the stable until dark, but he Is the
fellow who in the end will bring home
the coin, says a Kansas City writer,
The plug horse that pulls the lister
all day in the field puts more money
in the bank for the honest farmer
than the race horse that goes out and
turns a half in 0: so fiat and then loafs
for two weeks waiting for another
race to be matched. The old plug
goes out in sunshine and storm and
pulls in few dollars every week, but
the race horse waits for the day when
the track is good and then generally
loses more than he wins. The steady
old plug keeps the wolf from the door.
while the race horse causes the mort
gage to be foreclosed.
Just so with the man. Pin your
faith to the plug who keeps eternally
at it; the fellow who gets up every
morning and does 80 much and is
ready to do it again next day. He
lays up more shining dollars in the
bank than the swift sport who lies
around all summer waiting for luck
to come along and turn stream of
silver into his pocket: One cackling
Plymouth Rock hen Is worth a dozen
screaming eagles when 1t comes to
paying off the mortgage. The plug
Is the fellow who steadies the ship
and acts as ballast when the boat be-
gins to rock. The plug is the fellow
who lives contentedly and long and
when he passes away the local paper
says, "He leaves his family in com.

DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You lat
Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders ere SO common in
this country Is due to hasty and
careless habits of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually 90 together.
John Lind, OF Oneonta, N. Y, says:
ST have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that 1 could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
vas very poor. and 1t seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles Of Vinol find that 1t has
already made a remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion Is
much stronger, and I have gained in
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. Vino
is easily asslmilated nv the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try bottle of Vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned If 1t does not help you.
p. s. If you have Eczema try our
Saxo Salve. We guarantee it.

MADE HIM GOOD AMERICAN
Act Of Wise Father That Kept His
Boy In the Path of His
Birth and Duty.

1t is claiming rather a great deal to
say that a child's whole future career
may depend upon the hearing of a
story! But, unquestionably, it is true.
a boy know, whose parents were
obliged to live in England during two
of his early years-from the time he
was eight until he was ten-said to
his father one day: Am / an Eng
lishman, an American, or haven't I
any country at all?"
His father, loyal American, startled
at this question, read to the boy "A
Man Without a Country"
You are an American" he told the
boy. Never forget that"
The boy, now a man, Is just about to
enter the United States army. Much
of his life has been passed in other
countries, but he is an American.
81 think I might have become an
Englishman, or a man with no partic-
ular loyalty to any flag" he said re-
Gently, had IL not been for the story
of A Man Without a Country which
my father read to me when was a
little boy in England. / didn't under
stand all of it, but I understood
enough to keep me forever loyal to
the land Of my birth, no matter where
/ might happen to be growing up

TRAINING FOR LIES WORK
Adoption Of Ruskin's Views Would
Mean the Making of This Into q
Different World.

AS to the distribution of the hard
work, none of us, or very few of us,
do either hard or soft work because
we think we ought, but because we
have CHANGED to fall into the way Of
it and cannot help ourselves Now,
nobody does anything we'll that they
cannot help doing; work is only done
we'll when it is done with will. And
no man has a thoroughly sound will
unless he knows he is doing what he
should and is in his place.
And, depend upon it, all work must
scrambling, logged way, but in an or
dered, soldierly, human way--a lawful
way. Men are enlisted for the labor
that kills-the labor Of war; they are
counted, trained, fed, dressed and
praised for that. Let them be en-.
listed also for the labor that feeds; let
them be counted, trained, fed, dressed.
praised for that.
Teach the plow exercise as carefully
as you do the sword exercise, and let
the officers of troops of life be held
as much gentlemen as the officers OF
troops of death, and all is done. But
neither this nor any other right thing
can be accomplished-you can't even
see your way to it-unless first of all
both servant and master are resolved
that come what will of it, they will do
each other justice.-Ruskin.

WOMEN CREATED
WORD SAYS TABLET
Stone Carved in Babylon B.
c. Says God Wrecked the
World When Man Became
Wicked.

A special from Philadelphia says.
A newly undiscovered tablet AT the
museum of the University Of Penn
sylvania, brought 10 this city from
Babylonia, gives what is now believed
to be the FIRST of the creation ol Che
world, as we as one of the most
wonderful accounts of civilization as
it existed in 2500 b. G..
According to this story THE world
was created by woman goddess. She
was a brunette, because The account
says that her hair was black N is
stated that when the world became So
wicked that it had TO be destroyed,
the male gods, angry at the goddess,
opened the food gates Of heaven and
drowned all but one man and his
family
There are many parallelisms be-
tween the story and the Book of Gene
sis. DR., Arno Poebel of John HopS-
ms University, who has deciphered
this tablet has declared that, IN his
estimation, il is the most remarkable
story Of the Creation which the world
ever has known.
The tablet tells of the peculiarities
of the women of those DAYS. Ii saws
that they mad equal rights with men.
thus providing the suifragists with an
additional weapon for argument all
though history in $500 b. q. saws
nothing OF militant method.
II containes beautiful epic poems.
such as characterize the Psalms. and
it is now thought that the Hebrew
language. which came into use cen
turtles after this Sumerian tablet was
written, copied its style In this way
the psychologists account from the
writings Of the Scripture ia its present
form.
The tablet relates all the essentials
of the story in Genesis. 1t tells OF
the creation of mankind first, then
the animals and then the ground,
just the reverse of the story in the
Bible.
II tells ola flood that lasted only
seven days, instead of forty, or "a
year, as some historians have insisted
took place. 1t tells OF the reward to
Noah, after he had been saved: OF
how the ark was constructed and why
Noah was selected for salvation
1t declaresthat one prehistoric king
ruled "a, 600 years, which makes Methu-
selah look like an infant 1t declares
that the number af years which elapsed
from the Creation to the flood was
400 600.
Part of the tablet found are miss
ing. and the university authorities
