BROWNING SHRIMES ARE FEW
Warwick Crescent House Is Perhaps
the Most Interesting of Them
In London.

Pious Browning lovers who de-
sire at this centenary time to make
pilgrimage to London shrines will
find few. One of the most interest
ing, perhaps, is 10 Warwick crescent,
where "'The Ring and the Book" and
many of the later poems were writ
ten. Browning took the house on
his return to England after the death
of Mrs. Browning and remained
there for five and twenty years. The
place, as he declared, has a charm
of its own, an element of the un-
usual denied to most London houses,
for it faces the Grand Junction ca
nal just at the point where it wild
ems into miniature lake with a
tree-clad islet in the center. Just
beyond No. 10, too, a bridge spans

RARE "FIRsT FOLIO" IS FOUND
Early Copy Of Shakespeare's Play 10
Brought to Light la Curious
Manner.

Another copy of the very rare
"first folio" of Shakespeare's plays
has been brought to light in a
strange manner. A sixteen-year-old
son of well-known baronet was eg-
ploring in the library of the earl of
Dudley, at Whitley court, recently,
when he came across a volume which
he recognized as an early edition Of
the great dramatist's works. 1t had
been rebound, and one or two pages
were missing. At first the boys dis
covery was not regarded as any
thing very special, but having seen
a first folio of Shakespeare in the
British museum, the young expert
insisted on the Importance of his
find, and eventually the book was
sent up to a leading firm of book
dealers. They at once declared that
the volume was a genuine first folio.
Imperfect as the new find is, it is
of considerable value. Only last
year similar copy was sold at auc-
ton for FL, 100.

given by Mayor HarryF. Engel-

ceding administration.
The Neal Institute was chosen

accomplished with all the per

Go TO NEAL INSTITUTE
OR THE WORK HOUSE

Mayor Engelhardt is not the
first Ohio official to catch the
new vision that it is better to
save than to punish drink vic
Tins. One Kentucky Judge has
sent to Cincinnati's Neal Insti-
tute five drinkers, all of whom re-
turned homcward with their
hearts thrilled with gratitude
over their release from the awful
grip of alcoholic appetite. Sew
eral Ohio and Kentucky Sheriffs
have carried into effect the same
splendid plan and proved elder
brothers to those who. weaken
ed by the poison of alcohol-the
underlying of all excessive drink
ing, were no longer masters of
self, but abjcct slaves to liquor.
Mayor Engelhardt's action is
right in line with the plan which
was adopted years ago by the
Australian Government, which
officially indorsed the Neal Treat
ment and in that country today
it is now administered to suffer
ers from the drink habit under
governmental direction.
If you have a friend or near
one, who is one of those unfor-
tunates who are powerless to
stop drink, you can save him.
Take him to the Neal Institute.

EXIT THE COMMON
DRINKING CUP

Back in the day when ignor-
ance was bliss" and the small
but mighty microbe was havin g
the time of his life undisturbed
by the scientists, the common
drinking cup was an accepted
fact, except at the liable. A per-
son was thought ultra-fastidiuos
if he rebelled at using the same
cup that dozens of others had
used.
With the growth of knowledge
came the realization that a good
ly share of the ordinary diseases
were communicated from one
person to another by these same
common drinking cups. In fact,
many could be transmitted in no
other way writes the household
editor of Southern Farming.
Because of the pressure exert
ed by those who were alive to
the dangers of this custom, the
lawmakers in most of the states
have passed laws for the unthink-
ing, prohibiting the common
bringing cup, for only a person
who dosen't use his brains will
drink from one.

their masters voice and do his

HOW ABOUT Your

If you can laugh when others
weep,
If you can work while others
sleep,
If you can lose and never kick,
But start again and gamely stick ;
If you can face defeat and grin,
Nor grumble if you never win;
If you can see things go to rot
And never get your collar hot,
But take it all with perfect grit
And scorn to curse single bit ;
If you can bear heap of pain
And scarcely murmer or COM
plain;
If treachery and lies and such
Can never freeze you very much,
And all through life you don t
descend
To knife a foe or knock a friend |;
If you can keep your life thus
high,
Believe me, you will be SOME
guy,
And I'll admit quite frank and
free,
You'll have an awful bulge on
