Stops Tobacco Habit
in One Day
eanitarium Publishes Free Book Show
Ing How Tobacco Habit Can lie
Banished i'm From One 10
Five Days at Home

The Elders Sanitarium located at 1923
Main St, st. Joseph, Mo, has pub
lished a free book showing the deadly
effect of the tobacco habit, and how it
can be banished in from one to five
days at home.
Men who have used tobacco for more
than fifty years have tried this method
and say it is entirely successful, and
in addition to banishing the desire for
tobacco has improved their health
wonderfully. This method banishes
the desire for tobacco, no matter
whether it is smoking, chewing, cigar
cites or snuff dipping.
AS this book is being distributed free
anyone wanting copy should send
their name and address at once.

LESSON VIII-PART Ill
The Hand-Their Possibilities
The Use of Gloves

Gloves are not a fashion, a mark of
social position or formal dressing; they
are in all climates and at all seasons of
the year a necessary protection to the
hands. If everyone would regard them
as such. hands would be much whittier
and would not need the constant cleaning
with strong soaps that does so much to-
wards spelling the texture of the skin.
Wear gloves in summer to protect your
hands and prevent tan and unsightly
freckles. They are quite as important
at this time of the year as in winter. Al
ways wear gloves in a railroad train;
moreover, on railroad trip one is apt
to read newspapers and cheaply printed
literature and the ink that comes off
from this matter is bad for the skin.

Last Days of Campaign
The last two days of Mr.. Underwood's

Care of MIX Utensils

One OF the chief things to remem-
ber when caring for milk utensils is
that they should never be rinsed in
hot water without first being rinsed
in cold water. If hot water is used,
milk that may remain in vessel is
very likely TO become so hardened
that it can with difficulty be washed
off.
Rinse first in cold water, wash in
hot water, using washing powder
if desired, then rinse IN boiling wat
er. In the summer, set utensils in
the sunlight to dry. The 6nal rms
ing not only kills germs but so
heats the pals that they will dry off
thus le,sening the chance
Of rustlng. It's economy to buy
only the best grades Of pals, cans,

Luck and Fate

The literatures of all lands arc
lich in proverbs telling US how large
a pert luck and fate play in human
lives.
That there is much truth ia them
cannot be doubted. But 1t is a
truth that is easily capable Of exag-
geration. 1t Is a doctrine that, if
publicly believed, might make IdIers
Of us all or mere. .automatons.
1t is dangerous doctrine for tie
young, who should he made to know
instvad that whatever may be the
fate or luck IN store for them, their
real success and their true happiness
eau come only from and through
their own worth and Efforts.
Fete or luck may make a man
riah or put him in high places. but
the character, development, the self
respect and the love and trust Of
Others, which constitute genuine
success, can come only from with
IN himself.
Fate and luck are but the bare
skeleton upon which each man builds
his life. The result depends entire
ly upon himself.

Making Film Pictures Of Flying
Bullets

An apparatus capable Of making
film pictures at the rate Of 100000
second has been invented, and
with il some remarkable pictures
have been MADE. In one case 70
consecutive views ofa bullet fired
from a revolver were taken while
the bullet was passing through a
space OF 10 IN. This bullet was
fired through a thin piece of wood,
and the film showed curious stu
alton. The wood did not show any
effect from the impact of the bullet
until the bullet had passed complete
ly through it. Then splinters be
gan to form, the stick split, and f.
nally fell to pieces. No camera
shutters can be used with this appa'
ratus. A series Of electric sparks
are flashed at the rate of 100000 a
