COLTS ?. HoNrlnaron.

A Connecticut boy-one OF nine children
born in 1921. His parents were poor but
thrifty. At a very early age he was COM
PEELED to do such work as he could. Elk
cepting four months in the year, when at
school, he worked hard all the time. He
was Ia years of g when he went to
work for a neighbor at 81 per month and
board. At the end of the year he had
saved all the money thus earned. AT the
age of II he had saved enough money to
go into the general merchandise business
with his brother. When the news Of the
discovery of gold in California came,
he drew $1,000 from his business and
started west via the Isthrnus of Panama.
For want of shipping facilities he, with
many others, was detained on the Isthnaus
fos three months. During this time he
traded in commodities and made 81, 0e0,
to add to his original 81, zoo.
He located in Sacramento nj engaged
In the hardware and miners supply bust
ness. In a few years he had sufficient
capital to undertake uniting the two
coasts with a railroad.
To his untiring efforts are we indebted
for he first trans-continental railroad.
He, amassed a fortune of over 80 million
dollars.

Mothers! Have Your Children Worms?

Are they feverish, restless,
nervous. irritable, dizzy or con-
stipated? Do they continually
pick their nose or grind their
teeth? Have they cramping
pains, irregular and rayenous
appetite? These are all signs
of worms. Worms not only
cause your child suffering. but
stunt its mind and growth. Give
"Kickapoo Worm KiHar" at
once. It kills and removes the
worms, improves your child's
appetite, regulates stomach, iiv-
er and bowels. The symptoms
disappear and your child is made
happy and healthy, as nature in
tended. All druggists or by

the HOME CENTER

In almost every old-time farm
home was a fireplace. Here at the
close of the winter day the family
gathered; here bodies and hearts
we're warmed, and here the home
spirit was kept alive. The children,
as they looked into the great heap
of Goals, saw there the pictures
ahat fancy fashioned. Fathers and
mothers perchance saw in the flames
faces fair, memory pictures, that 1t
vas given no stranger to see. Be
cause of this fire. e-place atmosphere
She home life was made higher.
Today We are undermining the
farm home as we'll as the city resi-
aence. The old hearth is giving place
30 base burners, hot air registers,
steam or hot water radiators. The
vshole house is indeed made com
fortable--but the gathering place,
che rallying point is lost. Less and
Ness does the entire family meet to-
s,ether for social hour, and more
and more does the rising generation
fail to learn rare family history, such
as can never be obtained from books
or from the lips of strangers. Be
cause of this loss there is that larg-
sr loss of influence and advice so
valuable to every boy and girl. 1t
has been declared that the influence
of the fire place has spread like
the ripples from stone dropped
INTO still water out into many lives
IN many lands; and it was an in
siuence for right living and lofty
sdeals.
If We can not have without our
modern heating systems an open fire
IN one room a sort Of altar of the
home-we should at least have some
place where all the members of the
family may meet in restful, helpful
converse for a little while during the
winter evenings. Music, games, read
ing aloud, and. for the smaller chill
Sren, q story hour, all present pos
Eibihties for this family pleasure
part.-The Breeders Gazette.
