Spoiled a Plan for a Feast

An esteemed friend of THE
HERAD tells of an amusing ex-
perience he had with an old domi-
nique rooster. He had whetted his
appetite fora ration of chicken sal

the necessary ingredients and pre-
pare the appetite appeaser. Now,
We EDITORS wife sold the lady the
rooster in question, and with no
knowledge that the fowl thought
himself a hen-a rooster was need
ed, one a little past middle ace.
and nothing but a rooster would
do.
But, 10 and behold, this same
chanticleer, as soon as he was
transferred to new chicken-vard
began to exhibit the procIitivities
OF a hen. He was put into a coop
where there happened to be hen |
nest and he Immediately went to
setting-and he was really setting. |
for he would regularly 90 through |
the motion of rolling eggs in the
manner than hens are wont to do. |
Of course, no one wants to make
chicken salad out of even a settino
hen, much less setting rooster.
SO this old dominique's setting had
to be terminated before any salad
was made. He was removed to
another coop, but he went to work
and scooped ont a nest in the sand
and continued his setting. Fin

Famous Actress Finds That Healthy
Liver Is Necessary To Good Looks
and YOuthfuInegs.

ana YOuthfulneSS.
One of the best known women OF
the American stage Is writing q Sc
ries of articles on the preservation
OF beauty. She attaches great import
ance to keeping the liver active at all
times, and she is right. Neither good
looks nor happiness will stay long
with any man or woman who let's the
liver get lazy and sluggish.
1t is not always safe to take calomel
the old liver remedy. Doctors agree
that it is very uncertain drug. But
the Seminole Pharmacy has a REM
edy for sale that they guarantee to
take the place of calomel absolutely,
and still be harmless, causing no re-
striction of habit or diet. This rem
edy is Dodson's Liver Tone.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting vegetable liquid, but it starts
the liver gently and surely and re-
lleves constipation and biliousness SO
promptly that it has become depend
able remedy in thousands of homes
In the United States. There are scores
OF families in this vicinity who will
not be without it in the house and
who would not think of starting on
trip without bottle of it.
The Seminole Pharmacy has sold
SO much Dodson's Liver Tone that
they are convinced of it's merit and
VIII give any person his soc back, who
buys a bottle and does not find that it
taxes the place of calomel to perfec-
ton. ADVERTISEMENT

Business for Girls.

According to the recent census, it
appears that there are nearly third
more females in this country than
males; so of course there are not
husbands enough to supply the de-
mand Under this state of affairs
there is nothing left for the girls to
do but to change their tactics. In
stead of spending their time and en-
ergies in fascinating the beauX, set
themselves to work and earn their
own livelihood. They can do it, too.
Let them calmly and decidedly make
up their minds that there is work
in life for them to do, and that they
do not propose to throw themselves
as martyrs into the matrimonial
market to be disposed of to the high
est bidder.
If girls have good, comfortable
home it is far better to abide there,
if they can find anything to employ
their time and energies, than it is to
go among strangers and fight their
way. AS long as they have a moth
er to love them it is well to keep
her, for in no place can purer happi-
ness be found. After she is gone
there will be time enough to buffet
the storms of life in the wide world.
A girl can be independent if she
chooses, and earn q comfortable liv-
ing many ways, and it is not the
worst misfortune in life to be born
a girl; not half as bad as it is to be
married to a man that you can neith-
er love nor respect, who makes you
perfect slave to pander to his COM
fort and humor his caprices. Think

ANARCHISTS and CRANKs.

The ghastly death roll of assassin
ated rulers, published in connection
with the killing Of King George of
Greece, ought to be read with more
than personal interest by the man
who sits in the White House.
To king or president the shack
les of official restraint must weigh
heavily. From Haroun AL Raschid
down, monarchs have enjoyed incog-
nito mingling with the people. Prob
ably they have done it more than
most people realize. Blbowing along
the sidewalk with Tom, Dick and
Harry, they feel like the school boy
on vacation.
The hysterla of modern life bids
fair to end all this kind of play for
the great men of the earth.
The danger to the president of the
United States is not so much from
long-haired anarchists, their heads
stuffed with dream PHILOSOPHERS, as
from plain, everyday fools. The
shuffling, shambling, down-and-out
of the curbstane, who apparently
wants nothing better than to swipe
square meal from your refriger-
ator, may be just the man who car
ries the gun that may upset business
and statecraft by a successful assas-
sination.
The higher speed of labor and
business, the growth of enfeebling
vices, is filling the insane asylums.
With a considerable proportion of
these unfortunates, the mania is
homicidal. Any such who in more
normal days were interested in poll
tics, are first impelled to right popu-
lar wrongs by killing a Roosevelt or
a Mckinley. Violent newspapers who
paint opposing politicians as traitors
are the fuel from which these reptile
deeds may spring.
President Wilson has given signs
of feeling the constraint of armed
guards. Let him not yield to such
sentiments. Under present condi-
tions it is ordinary business horse
sense for the president to have stiff
secret service protection all the time.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1913-03-31
THE DECLINE OF THE TAIL
COAT.

The average man notes with some
complacency that President Wilson
wears his gray sack suit every day
to the office, instead of the tradi-
tional frock coat.
A few recent presidents have soft
ened the rigors of dress in recent
years by the slightly less formal cut
away. But the sight of president
debating letters in a sack suit must
no doubt shock ceremonious Wash
ington.
How can man do days work in
a "jim-swinger" coat?
A Prince Albert envelopes a man S
limbs like shroud, its wide and far
reaching tails swathe the alertness
of his motions. The bigness and
constraint of the thing must dampen
his ardor and blur the JOY of quick,
active endeavor.
Men are growing less conventional
in their dress. 1t was not many
years ago that the majority of those
having any society affiliations used
to wear at least cutaway coat
evenings and often during the day
time. To call on your next door
neighbor with simple business sack
coat on was about like going in your
shirtsleeves.
Man is working animal. The de-
mands of his labors grow more and
more exacting every year. Efficiency
schemes and systems have arisen by
which he is trained to avoid every
useless motion. He is taught how to
sort the papers on his desk, how to
handle the raw material at the ma
chine to avoid the loss of even a
second by doubling on his track.
Under these conditions he must
strip to his task. The mechanic re-
duces his impedimenta to overalls
and shirtsleeves, like a runner in
the race. The business man is not
often permitted to 90 as far as that.
But at least he has become welded
to the swift adusjtability of the sack
coat Meanwhile the cutaway in
which he used to do his courting, or
the frock coat in which he was mar
ried, repose in their moth balls, re-
appearing only at longer intervals.
Let them rest!

TALKS ON ADVERTISING TO It'd.
INGS READERS.
(By Ralph Kaye.)

in most every town of any size
there are one or more confectioners
who make their own candy and sell
ii under a certain name. Generally
these confectioners have an ice
cream parlor in connection with
their store. In advertising this
homemade candy the local marker
should play up big the fact that his
candy is fresh and is not candy that
has been shipped from some distant
point. If he makes special kinds of
candy each day, he should play that
point up too. The materials he uses,
their purity, his kitchen with its con-
veniences and cleanliness, etc,
should be playe'l up. Everybody
likes candy. In describing you cater

and clean candy, whether it is sold
