difficult to find a remedy. But he well says in conclusion that "the read- ing of good literature is necessary to the growth of the mind and strength ening of character, especially in young people, and that there is no resource for all periods of life so helpful, so satisfying and so enduring as love of good books"
 Several causes might be brought forth to explain why the rising gen. eration cares little for the best books as compared with an older generation, and one is the indifference of parents. Parental restraint and parental direc- tion are not what they used to be, and in the matter of literature many educated parents pay little attention to the books their children read.

CENsoRING CUPID

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 The young woman in the fur toque frowned and shook her head
 George thinks he's awfully cute," she said. The other girl looked up.
 What has George done now?"
 He has sent me censored proposal of marriage. What do you think of that suppose he has an idea that 1t won't be admitted as evidence against him. Want to see the thing?"
 "Of course I do.'
 '"There it is.'
 This is what the other girl saw:
 Dear Mis-: My - for you has been increasing so rapidly of late that - cannot resist the opportunity of asking you to be - wife. If you should marry - tomorrow - would be the happiest of men. Of course, you understand that - await impatiently for your reply. Do Lot keep - in suspense. Yours sincere ly,--. (Name deleted)"
 The other girl handed back the letter. That's the worst thing I ever saw" she said. "Whatcha going to do about it?'' The first girl laughed.
 Fill In the blanks and accept him, of course"

LUKE M,LUKE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 A few years go long way in wom- ans age.
 It isn't rocks that cause most of the shipwrecks on the sea of matrimony. It is usually lack of rocks"
 After you have roamed around for Q while you will discover that the longer an explanation is, the less it explains.
 Just because a man wears a No. hat Is no sign that he Is broad-ninded.
 An affinity is a guy who pays coinpli- ments while the husband pays the bills.
 We admire a man who says what he thinks. if he says it about other people.
 When a man pats you on the back and tells you how wise you are, he may bc only batting his hook for another sucker,
 An optimist is a man who knows that he isn't in any danger of having sun- stroke as long as 1t is raining.
 Once in a while the fellow who never knows when he is licked sits down and envies the Quitter.
 As a nation we may be tagging in some arts. But talking isn't one of them.
 Every married man would like to have as many girls chasing him as his wife i'm agines he has. When a man owns a $50 dog he doef more barking than the dog. Some of these damage suits jar you The only time wife's affection Is worth s5C.o00 is when 1t cannot be alienated by another man. And then 1t Is worth s50. 900. 000
 A man gives a party to entertain hi. friends. A woman gives . party to snul her enemies.

The Alabama Election

In Alabama a governor and other officers and a United States senator
 and ten representatives in Congress
 will be elected on Tuesday next. In
 the democratic primaries last spring there was more than ordinary interest and large party vote was polled
 The general election. in Alabama, as in other southern states, is usually regarded as merely formal ratifica- tion of the action of the democratic party. That means comparatively small vote. This, however, should not be. Even in a state like Alabama, with virtually only one party, the democrats should turn out to the polls in large numbers as matter of party spirit and discipline. The larger the vote the more certain is party su- premacy to be continued.
 For many years past congressional elections in Alabama have given the state a solid democratic delegation. It will be so on Tuesday. In the Seventh district, however, the democratic can- didate, Congressman Burnett, has op- position that should be reckoned with. While in the state at large the oppo- nents of the democracy form, negli- gible quantity So far as the state ticket is concerned, there are many republicans and progressives in the Seventh district, and in order to give MT. Burnett his normal majority a full democratic vote will be in order.
 Let every democratic voter in the state, regardless of district lines, do his duty and cast his ballot day after tomorrow. AS matter of fact it should be part of every democrats political religion, so to speak, to vote in the regular election as well as in the primary. At any rate, let no dem ocrat forget the Sd of November.

dull its senses, or spoil it's fine edge
 Do you keep your mind engaged Read. Live in the whole world, not Z corner of it. Study your business know it's details, it's larger policies, iti connection with all the worlds work Vote, and know what you vote for Join your city's organizations. Asso- ciate with your superiors. Learn how little you know. And yet learn that big men are just like you. The point is, stretch yourself, give your mind something to do so it will not dawdle by the way to gather noxious weeds for lack of better job.
 In connection with the mind as we'll as with other parts of being I advise every young man to go to church at least once every Sunday. The mental stimulus is good, the social impulse is good, the tying oneself down to a steady programme, that is yet volun- tary, is an education of the will not to be despised. Not to mention other things.
 Now, we have drifted into the spir- itual part of young mans life. Just three things here in the way of keep ing safe.
 l. Get it into your bones that you are living to serve the world. If you are not doing that thing, or if you are incapacitating yourself for it by in- diligence, or what not, then you are laggard and shirker.
 ?. Look on religion as chivalry and on godly living as crusade. Turn the thing round about and state it in terms, of battle. It is not a cowardly turning back; it is a courageous go- ing on. It is not yielding; it is an overcoming.
 5. Get the prayer habit. Begin each day with little praying. Stay in an attitude of prayer all day. When you get off, get on again; when you fall down, get up again; but keep on pray ing. You would be surprised at how many large men are constantly pray- Ing. You would be surprised at how many men who are beating you at every turn are doing so by prayer You would be surprised at how many men who are standing up and keep- Ing safe have the one secret of praver

STAYING IN HARNESS

Girard in the Philadelphia Public
 Ledger.
 I saw yesterday one of Americas A persons who pays tax on an income of over s1, ,000,oo year, Although this man Is far beyond his threescore and ten he was downtown on business.
 P. A. B. Widener by that act typified the American habit--to stay in the har- ness permanently. In almost every foreign country man of his wealth would have retired 25 years ago.
 It is impossible to estimate how much this stick -to-it habit on the part of captains of finance and industry has earned for the United States. We set no time limit on the years of work by men who can do the most work. That's big gain all around. I once heard MT. Widener himself express censure of the custom of quit ting and living upon income. He said 1t had done Philadelphia a noticeable harm.
 But no one who watches those steel girders in city hall square rise into his $7,000,0o0 property can lay such blame upon this veteran.

An Alumni Banouet

The Alabama members of the Univer- sity of Michigan alumni will come to- gether at their second annual banquet to be given at the newspaper club on the night of November 14," said J. L. Cox, vice president of the local chapter.
 "The date set for this banquet is that on which the Auburn Vanderbilt game is scheduled to be played here, and Bir- mingham will be thronged with college men In the afternoon Dean Farrell of the University of Alabama, who is one or our graduates, will give a gridiron box party at Redwood, at which the Michlgan alumni will be guests, and at the banquet which will be given at about p. n., returns from the Michigan Cor nell game will be received. The Michigan team. by the way. has made an excellent football record this year, having been defeated only twice, and then by close scores. but has won several decisive vic tories
 "The University of Michigan has al- most the largest attendance of any col iege in the country, our enrolment this year being 6500. Graduates are found In large numbers throughout the coun- 'ry' There is an alumni organization in every state in the union, and our ban quets are always pleasant occasions. The anair at the Birmingham Newspaper club will certainly be no exception tc the rule in this respect. and jolly re- union is in store for all of the old guard. J

John Bulls Nerves

| Heretofore we have labored under the impression that the average Eng lishman was a person whose nerves were reasonably steady at all times. In fact, he was thought one of the last persons in the world to fly off the handle," no matter what sort of crisis he might be called on to face. The British soldiers are fighting across the channel with coolness and daring that upholds their prestige, but the Britisher at home seems to fear the worst" with vengeance and his susceptibility to panic is sur prising.
 From time to time statements have appeared in the press that betray a great deal of uneasiness among the English people as regards the Ger mans and their plans. The fear of a Zeppelin raid has obsessed the coun- try, and London in particular, for sometime. It was reported recently that more than 20 persons had been shot in England by sentries since the war started, simply because they did not reply when challenged. Patrons of restaurants decline to be served by German and Austrian walters, pre- sumably for patriotic reasons, but possibly with the idea of safety first" German shopkeepers have been with difficulty protected from mobs by the police and numerous other in- stances of national unrest" might be mentioned.
 However, the most prominent vic- tim of prejudice in England is Prince Louis of Battenberg, first sea lord of the admiralty, who has been forced to resign his position because he was born in Austria and has German con- nections. The press of England is ac- cused of having forced his resigna- ton. Yet, the princes son was recent ly killed while fighting for England and he is himself credited with great ability and untiring diligence which l he has used in behalf of the British navy. To cast the eye of suspicion on such man, whose record is ample vindication, seems puerile. The Eng fish government realizes that it can i'll afford to lose his services at this time, but Germanophobia has made it impossible for him to continue to serve his country.

STORE DIMPLEs REPREHENsIBLE

From the Richmond Times-Dispatch
 Charges that candidate for presi- dent of the Michigan State Federation of Woman'sl Clubs wore "store dim ples," which-the charges. not the dimples-were made at the recent meet ing at Adrian, resulted in the candi- dates retirement from the contest, in fit of mysteries that lasted an hour, and in such general excitement that the federation has not yet recovered It's accustomed serenity and boise.
 The lady with the dimples, whether natural or acquired certainly the Times Dispatch saith not, was Mrs. Anna Caulfield Mcknight, of Grand Rapids; the lady of the allegation was Mrs. Anna Fox of Detroit, who, as state parliamentarian, should have known that 1t is not parliamentary to cast reflections on the genuineness of y feminine charm.
 But why shouldn't "store dimple" be all right? Any sort of dimple bright ems the human countenance. and so adds to the joy of the social circle in which it operates. Why should there be discrimination against this modern masterpiece of the beauty doctor s wondrous art?

NEW ERA IN MEDICINE

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 We were talking about development in medical science when Dr. George I. Mac- Leod made this rather startling observa- tion:
 'The number of prescriptions written by physicians today is very much srnall- CT than 1t was eight or 10 years ago. I believe that in about 10 more years the writing of any prescriptions for medicine will be very rare occurrence"
 What" I inquired, is going to take the place of drugs?"
 Well" replied this observant student of events as well as of human health the use of serums and other means of warding off disease will do the work, and what they cannot do physicians will know that ordinary drugs will be unable to ac- compnsh."
 A drugless world. Just think to what we are coming and cheer up!

New York,s Nent Goyernor

New Yorks political campaign, which will close Monday night, has been very exciting, as far as the governorship is concerned, and think the successful can didate will have plurality of not more than 15,ooo or 2o,o0o," said w. B. Littleton of the borough of Manhattan.
 T believe that Glynn, who has been gov ernor since Sulzer was removed from of flee, will be the winner. I have usually voted the democratic ticket, and I am sorry that shall not be able to get back home in time to cast vote for Glynn. The republicans have been vicious in their methods of opposing Glynn, and many fair-minded men will vote against Whit man as protest against underhand at tacks on high class man.

BUTTER KEPT GOOD 90 YEARS

J. w. 1ngham in the Breeders Gazette.
 The following shows the importance of cold, even temperature for the preser- yation of butter: At the old Red Tavern at Towanda, Pa. then kept by William Means. a firkin of butter containing 100 pounds, tightly headed. was lowered into a deep well. to be kept cool until wanted for use. In lowering 1t the rope broke and tho butter went to the bottom Of the well, which was half full of water. After spending considerable time grap- bling for it, and Knowing that to pumr all the water out and go down for It's recovery would be a hard. disagreeable job, the proprietor concluded to leave fl where 1t was until a more convenient sea- son. Butter was cheap (only 12h cents a pound). and in case it was never re- covered the loss would not be great
 Thirty years afterward the well had te
