HOU HAVE 10 FIND OU FOX
YOURSELF
BY Berton BraIey.
Now Adam most probably knew
Much more about life than his son,
But I'll warrant his son snOrted,
POOH"
When father told what should be
done.
Like many a boy who is bright,
He said, "The Old Mans on the
Shelf"
WeI-he learned his father was
right,
But he had to find out for himself.
And so it has gone down the years,
The young ever doubling the old
And suffering sorrow and tears,
Because they refused to be told.
Each girI-oh, you couldn't tell her.
Each boy was wise little elf,
And so, as was bound to occur,
He had to find out for himself.
Through trouble and sorrow and pain
We gather the little we know,
And then when we try to explain
Our children just laugh as they go.
You laughed at the words of your
dad
(And you've paid both in worry
and pelf)
And you'll get the same deal from
your lad,
For he has to find out for himself!

THE DOCTORS GIFT Food Worth It's Weight in Gold.

We usually expect the doctor to put us on some kind of pehance and give us bitter medicines.
 A Penn. doctor brought patient something entirely different and the results are truly interesting.
 Two years ago." writes this pa- tlent, T was frequent victim of acute Indigestion and biliousness, being al lowed to eat very few things. One day our family doctor brought me a small package, saying he had found some thing for me to eat.
 He said it was food called Grape Nuts and even as its golden color might suggest it was worth it's weight In gold. I was sick and tired, trying one thing after another to no avail, but consented to try this new food.
 Well! It surpassed my doctors fondest anticipation and every day since then I have blessed the good doctor and the inventor of Grape Nuts.
 T noticed improvement at once and Tn months time my former spells of Indigestion had disappeared. In two months l felt like new man. My mind was much clearer and keener, my body took on the vitality of youth, and this condition has continued"

ALL WANT TO NAME THE BABY
Advice heaped in Profusion on Keep CTS of Big City's Geological
 Gardens.

"The arrival of a baby animal or bird of any kind from hippopotamus to a canary at either of the city zoos gives people all over town chance to spread themselves in the matter of names" said New York park keeper
 Everybody wants the honor oi naming the baby. Letters come from all parts of the city, and from the sur. rounding country suggesting names that the writers think appropriate Patriotism runs high among our cor respondents. If they had their way half the animals in the park would be called Abe Lincoln, and a large part of the other half Teddy Roosevelt Regardless of the sex of the youngster these two presidential appellations are urged upon us.
 Classical and Scriptural names also have their advocates. Hercules and Plato in particular are proposed.
 "Of all the ladies of antiquity Niobe seems to have first call. Once in { while a writer of sentimental turr of mind suggests more modern TO mantle name. Out of consideration fol the animal fancy names are taboo te start with. To call a beast of the jungle Violet or Queenie is enough tC shame the most docile of infants into a reversion to type"

KEY WAS UNDER DOOR MAT
Important Information for Which Con- ductor of Indianapolis Car Held
 the Passengers.

The South East street car was hur. rying on it's way toward the end of the line. Near the ten hundred block the single line branches out into a switch. The cars slow up and the passengers, generally known person. ally by the conductor, often have time to exchange pleasantries as the cars pass. A German woman was on the car coming downtown the other day As the car slid on the switch and started to pass the other she got up excitedly and waved toward the car headed for the end of the line
 "Oh, Charlie! Oh, Charlie," she shouted at a youth on the other car, evidently her son, on his way home. Charlie did not catch the sig. nal at first. and the cars gathered speed
 this time more insistent. Then Char lie looked around and saw the other car going off the switch. with the woman still waving excitedly.
 The motorman was aroused by this time and, thinking that the summons was urgent, stopped the car and Charlie jumped off and made a bee line for mother.
 She met him a. the door q just wanted to say that the key is under the mat at the back door," she yelled And Charlie jumped off, waved at his conductor and caught his car amid the cheers of the other passengers.--In dianapolis News.

BLIND SPELLS

Mrs. Larsen Tells of Her Experience and How She Finally Came
 Out All Right.

Elkwood, Ala-Mrs. Matte Largen, Of this town. writes the following letter for publications: My health was very bad for a long time. on account of womanly trouble. I suf fered . great deal, at different times. with headache. and pains in the bot. tom of my stomach. and had blind spells.
 All of this made me so weak, I could hardly sit up. I tried treat ment after treatment, but they did me no good.
 Just as soon as I commenced talk. ing Cardui, the womans tonic. my health got better, and now 1 can do all my housework.
 l will never be without Cardui in the house, and will recommend if to every lady that can, for it has done me so much good, and 1 know it will do the same for others, if they will give it trial"
 The reason Cardui has attained such wonderful success in the treat. ment of diseases peculiar to women, IS that 1t acts specifically on the womanly organs. It contains purely vegetable ingredients, of real medic 1nal merit. and in safe, gentle way, helps build the womanly constitution back to health and strength.
 Cardui is being successfully used by thousands of women every day. You won't regret giving it a trial. N: B.-.W,ite fo: Chattanooga Medicine co Ladies Advisory Dept. Chattanooga, Tenn. fo,, sTe1af fIrsf,ncffons on your case and 64 page book wrapper. Adv. ' NA pa"

Vail From French Jurymen.

In France, as we'll as in England, 1urymen have their grievances. The latest can easily be remedied. The French minister of justice has re- ceived an address signed by citizens figuring on the Paris jury lists, pro- testing against the bare appearance of the courts where they have to sit. They point out that if--tired of look ing at the judges. counsel. witnesses and other parties to a suit--they turn their eyes upon the walls, nothing but an inartistic paper meets their gaze. In order to relieve this deadly mo- notony they beg that print of Prud- hons famous picture, Justice in Pur- suit of Crime" may be hung in each court.
