THE MOST VALUABLE WORK.

An Oklahoma mother, writing in
the April Woman's Home Companion
says:
Many times have thought it would
be better if I could help my husband
(who is a loyal citizen and splendid
business mani outside the home. I
have been very anxious to assist him
in other ways-aside from domestic
duties. But 1 have come to the con-
clusion that the greatest work on
earth is 'mother-work,' The biggest,
broadest work we can do is to carry
on the home tasks, using economy,
Judgment, and plenty of good COM
mon sense, and last, but not least,
training our boys and girls and pre-
pairing them to go out into the world
fully equipped for their life-work."

USE YOUR DICTIONARY DAILY.

Writing an article entitled Treas
ure in Books" in the Woman's Home
Companion, Laura Spencer Portor
gives the following excellent advice
about the advantages to be gained
from the study of words:
THE study of words: it may sound
to you dry thing, yet promise you
it is not, very far from it.
And this brings me to suggest that
the habit of one of the great writer's
of studying carefully from good die
tionary i've words each day is one
from which we might all of as get a
good deal Of profit. Or, take a good
book OF synonyms, for instance, aud
learn from it each day five words
somewhat similar, comparing and
weighing carefully the meanings and
values of them. Notice the degrees
of force in the following to dislike,
to hate, TO loathe, to retest, to abhor-
each note struck is a little stronger
we might say, like an ascending Gre
scendo scale. So, to instruct, to
leach, to educate are each quite diff
ferent in meaning with great nicely
Of difference. So, rebuke, reprimand
eensure, blame are all Of one cor
but of how different shades G.. meaning
So. too, misfortune, calamity, Lfsas-
teri, SO, weak, feeble, dcscrepit; and
what delicate difference between fame
and renown, or feminine and woman
ly ad womanish.''

Recent reports show that in British
West Africa the importation Of spirits
has swollen from I, 7O5,s7s gallons II
1905, to 6,s55,1ss gallons in 1911. In
French West Africa there has been.
an increase from 100000 1itres in
1908 to 7,sO3,215 Iitres in 1912. How
ever, a new regulation of the Belgium
government came into form in the
Congo at the beginning Of the year,
prohibiting entirely the sale of dis
titled alcoholic liquors of all kids,
to the natives, and the sale and man
ufacture of spirits has likewise been
prohibited by Portugal in the Congo
district of Angola. The duties on
spirits in West, Africa has been in
creased by Germany, France and
Great Britain. In British West Afri,
co local distilling and the importa,
ufacture of spirits has likewise beer
prohibited, and in southern Nigeria it
has been decided to substitute a sill

the artist or writer husband. Fol.
lowing is an extract from what he
has to say about the American busI

This animal is very popular and
Justly So He comes in a variety o.
colors. white, tan, deep red, notified
brown, and sometimes green. The
white variety is generally desired
There is no animal known that will
take the amount of abuse and neglect
that this one does. and still be devo

-CircuIation Canapaign.

The Daily Telegram,s big circula-
lion campaign closed Saturday night
and the result is made known else
where In today,s issue The Tele-
gram extends its most cordial con-
EXAMINATIONS to the winners, for It
believes the prizes they hayesWo are
fully worth whatever sacrifice and Ell
fort they have cost.
It is peculiarly gratifying to the
Telegram. that the best Of feeling
among the competitors and between
them and the campaign department
has characterized the Campaign from
the day of its Institution. This has
been due to the fact that absolute
fairness and impartiality have
marked the enterprise throughout.
All competitors were on the Same
footing and had an equal opportu-
nifty. Everyone received the interest,"
ed cooperation of the campaign de-
partment, but none enjoyed axsingie
all the others.
The single regret of the Telegram
is that all could not win automo biles.
for 1t would be gratifying beyond
measure If It were possible to see the
labors OF all the com petitors re-
= arded as they had hoped.
TO the judges who SO cheerfully
nd satisfactorily presided over the
campaign. the Daily Telegram wishes
to extend Its most sincere thanks. IT
was no easy nor Hnimportant task.
Their Services were most valuable to
the Telegram and MOST satisfactory
to all the competitors and their
friends. and were all the more aps
preciated by this newspaper because
they were so cheerf1l1y given. The
Telegram hopes to be In pesttfon
more than once in time to come to
reciprocate their kind favor.
To It's hundreds of new readers
the Telegram extends greetings and
trusts that by the time their caIn-
paper will have become SO strongly
Established Ia their homes that they
will find II enc Of the necessities OF
their daily lives.
The campaign vas conducted by
the National Circulation Company,
of Columbus, o., with Freeman H.
Kincaid ia charge. One thousand,
-four hundred and eighty-nine new
paid in advance Subscriptions and
one hundred and seventy payments
on old subscriptions, summarize the
results of the campaign.
These figures show great addi7
tional value OF the Telegram to adj
vertisers and place the Telegram
easily in the lead In West Virginia
outside of Wheeling as an advertising
medium The campaign has added
much to the long maintained superb
