MIR. TAFT ON SOCIALISM

Ex-President Taft in his Indiana
speech, has something of n new angle
to the argument that all socialism
must fall, because it finds no fort
that is furnished by the institution of
private property, and the shaping of
reward by competition and natural
economic adjustment"

TAKE PLENTY OF TINE TO EAT

There is saying that "rapid eating
is slow suicide" II you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you
are most likely suffering from indi-
gestion or constipation, which will
result eventually in serious illness un-
less corrected. Digestion begins in
the mouth. Food should be thorough
ly masticated and insalivated. Then
when you have fullness Of the
stomach or feel dull and stupid after
eating, take one of Chamberlain's
Tablets. Many severe cases of stom-
ach trouble and constipation have
been cured by the use of these tablets.
They are easy to take and most agree
able in effect. Sold by all dealers. adv

Tom looked at her steadily, then
took her little pink hand in. his.
Slowly he reached for the other and
got it. "Rose!"
Rose dropped her eyes and turned
crimson again.
Rose, do you love me?'
No answer.

SWAT THE RAT.

A student of the animal kingdom
once said: "Of all the animals on
earth, the rat has the least excuse for
being alive" A study of this rodent
shows that it is pest first, last and
all the time. 1t does an enormous
amount of damage every year but
worst yet it is conveyor of various
diseases. 1t shows mercy to nobody
and should be shown none. No op-
portunity ought be lost to exterm1-
nate these pests and warfare upon
them should be continuous. Swat the

She rose unsteadily, the tears
starting to her eyes. II must think
it. all over, Eric. I am little upset.
Good.by.'
Along in her room, Rose began to
think as she had not done for
months. The sale of the house, his
wedding gift to her, had given her a
sudden jolt But after all house is
only house, her common sense kept
telling her. She must do nothing for
which she would be sorry. But some.
thing was wrong with her. All her
feeling for Eric seemed dead. Surely
his thoughtlessness could not kill
real love so easily. Rose sat and
thought it all out Then she realized
for the first time that her feeling for
the southerner was not love at all.
She cried herself to sleep that
night thinking Of Tom. "Oh, what

spoiled his life and mine, but / would

cents less on each article.

cents less on each article.
That seventy.five cents dozen may
represen. the entire profit of the
United States manufacturer but on
account of paying lower wages, the
foreign manufacturer can sell them at
$7.75 per dozen and make a small
profit. That is enough of a difference
to make a dealer decide to take the
foreign product, because he may buy
hundreds of dozens of these articles
in the course Of year, while con-
sumner may only buy single one in
the same time. The six cents diner
ence on the volume Of business done
by the retail dealer may amount to
hundreds Of dollars in a course of a
year, while it only amounts to six
cents a year to the consumer
\ A reduction may be so small as to
be of no value to an individual con-
sumner, while at the same time 1t does
make a big difference to the man who
is in the business of manufacturing or
growing the original article in large
quantities. A difference OF cent a
pound on the market price Of cattle
will only make difference Of about
$500 in a year to the man who buys
a pound Of meat every week day in
the year IL he gets tho full benefit of
all the reduction. But 1t means to the
farmer loss of $12 on every 1900
pound steer he has. It means that 1t
will take II steers after the decline to
bring him in as much money as 10
steers did before the fall Of one cent
q pound. .
There is one thing about the tariff
that a great many people 90 through
their whole lives without learning,
and that Is: That there may be a
reduction in the price at which an
article can be sold, that Is not enough
OF reduction to be of any material
benefit to the consumer, and yet Is
sufficient to bankrupt the manufac-
turer in the field Of indiscriminate
competition.

SENSIBLE HEALTH RULES.

Would you live to be a centen-
arian, or at least arrive at hale and
hearty old age, with continued good
health. Barring accidents, it Is man
heritage so to do. provided he observes
the laws laid down by nature, and
plays the game OF life according to
the rules Civilization and the strenu-
GUS pursuit of wealth. pleasure and
luxury too often cut the span Of life
far. below the allotted time.
Sir James Sawyer, In the Toronto
Health Bulletin, has laid down four
teen rules of health which. if observ-
ed, he thinks ought to give a man
hundred years of life, barring acci-
dents These rules have attracted a
great deal Of attention and comment.
They are as follows:
Eight hours sleep every night.
Sleep on your right side.
Keep your bedroom window open.
No cold bath in the morning, but a
bath at the temperature OF the body.
Exercise before breakfast.
Eat little meat and be sure 1t is
we'll cooked.
Avoid intoxicants.
Allow no pet animals In your 1iv-
ing rooms, for they carry disease
germs.
Live in the country if you can.
Watch the three Distributing wa
ter, damp, drains. @
Have change Of occupation.
Take frequent and short holidays.
Limit your ambition.
Keep your temper.
DR.. w. A. Evans, in his health de-
partment in the Chicago Tribune,
quotes Metchnikoff, who is an author
ity on health and old age to the ef-
feet that rule two is superfluous, al
though it is best to sleep on the side
opposite the heart, II one sleeps on
his side. He also thinks that rule
four, relating to cold baths should not
be made absolute. For the young
and even the middle aged cold baths
under certain conditions may be
beneficial. In hot weather quick
cold bath, a snappy one, followed by
good rub, DR.. Evans thinks is bet.
ter than a cup Of coffee or drink OF
whiskey to enable the body to endure
cold. But for the older ones the rule
ought to be observed, although there
may be exceptions.
