Mad at Paint

Csc a gallon for paint is about $2.5C
on the average job, and lots of men
waited last year for that; but they
didn't reckon; they got mad; wouldn't
pay it.
There are times to get mad and re
fuse to pay; but when ones property
needs protecting is no time to get mad
and not paint.
Besides, it cost more to get mad and
wait than to paint.
Getting mad doesn't do any good te
your property; paint does 1t good by
keeping-out water; no water no rot, n,
paint some water and rot; and little
rot is more than enough to make
man liberal towards his painter ant
paint.
Paint costs not cent. All the pain
in the world, so long as it keeps-ou
water, cost not a cent. DEVOE
Barksdale & HARRISON sell it.

A HEALTHY. HAPPY WIFE

is the greatest inspiration man can
have and the life of the family, yet
how many homes in this fair land are
blighted by the i'll health of wife and
mother!
1t may be backaches, headaches, the
tortures of a displacement, or some
ailment peculiar to her sex which
makes life burden. Every woman in
this condition should rely upon Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
made from roots and herbs, to restore
her to health and happiness.

UN|ON-MADE PARADE

SESSION WILL URGE STATE USE
OF PRISONERS INSTEAD

Newark, N. J., Aug. l1.-Three hun

CARRIED completely in union-made wear
ing apparel as required by the organ
ization. were present here this morn
ing at the opening of the thirty-sixth

EYE GLASSES SHOULD GO
SAYS NEW YORK PHYSICIAN.
Here Is His Free Prescription.

Many who wear glasses could dis
pense with them. Only ordinary care
is necessary. The eyes of old and
young should be properly bathed night
and morning. This Is more important
than cleansing teeth" says he and
then he goes on to say:
The following treatment is worthy
OF fullest confidence. 1t Is scientific,
Immediately effective and positively
harmless to the weakest of eyes, Go
to any drug store, get tube of Optona
tablets, dissolve one In a two ounce
bottle of pure water and battle the eyes
two to four times daily. What is gen.
orally known as eye strain will soon
be banished while the muscles and
nerves are permitted to perform their
normal functions. 1t helps diseased
eyes and it keeps good eyes healthy;
it is absolutely harmless in every way;
does not smart or burn, has wonder
full effect on granulated lids and is
especially recommended for dull,
bleary or CLASSY eyes. 1t helps all
eyes and should be in every home for
use in emergency"

tiers received from users OF this pre-.
scription:

TIGHT SKIRTS AND BEAUTY
(From the London Mail.)

NtlOhi WIG i@OhdOl MILL
Much has been said against the pre-
vailing mode of tightly draped, clinging
skirts, showing the feet and ankles
but though, worn by the wrong people,
they are, | admit, things to shudder
at, yet they possess certain great mer-
its which have been overlooked.
One of these is that since the Eng.
fish woman has adopted them she
has been forced to revise her shoes.
which have hitherto been a national
weak spot" The Frenchwoman, who
has never, through all the countless
fashions of the years, been without
the severely plain perfectly made tail
ored costume, with its Interchangeable
| short skirt, has always been known
for her eXquisitely shod feet. English
women, who have invariably shown,
up till two years ago, a preference for
long, trailing skirts, however out of
place, have been known abroad for
carelessness in shoes and boots. Now
that the short, scanty, clinging skirts
has come to stay (for stay it does, in
spite of all attempts at flounces and
crinolines), we have to pay the same
careful attention to our exposed feet
that women do across the channel.
The result of this is a general appear
ance of much better dressing through
out the country.
Moreover, the short, scanty skirt has
greater cleanliness and lighness.
| I cannot help thinking that those
who inveigh against the narrow skirt
rally are Directing, without realizing it,
to seing it on the wrong people. A
woman whose lines and proportions
are bad, land whose feet and ankles are
ugly, certainly may make a narrow
skirt appear an unseemly fashion, but
on a slight, graceful fgure-on, in
deed, the average English figure-it as
sumes charming and very often clas-
steal lines. The moral of which is. as
Alice's duchess would have said, that
in order for each and every woman
to look her best she should never adopt
a fashion merely because it is the
fashion if it is not perfectly becoming
to her This is a platitude but too
often ignored.
was asked the other day why one
should pay more for ones dresses in
stead of less now that half the quality
of stuff is used to make them. The
answer is simple; the fabrics them
eslves are twice as costly, so as to in
sure no loss to the dressmakers. When
full skirts are worn the materials were
quite simple, for rich and elaborate
designs would have looked all wrong
Drsses are now made of the most
gorgeous gold and silver brocades, etc.
and strikingly BEAUTIFUL and artistic
they are.
Certainly it is undeniable that, dear
err or no the narrow Skin has made
us a much better dressed nation. That
is evident in practically every social
grade.

In January, 1913, the Countess Mas
tasia Tolstoy sent to the American
press the following letter:
81 have the honor to hand you my
interview with the late Count Leo
Tolstoy had with him some months
before his death. | authorize you to
make use of 1t for the first time, the
original copy having been presented to
His Majesty the Gar. Hoping that
the American reading public will be
interested to learn about the prophecy
of the greatest genius of our age, | am
respectfully yours, N. ToIstoy."
She then describes the manner in
which she obtained the interview.
In the autumn of 1910 the Czarina
had invited the Countess to visit her at
her summer palace at Peterhof. She
was summoned into the presence of
the Gar, who explained that he wished
her to undertake for him.
He said the German Kaiser and the
King of England had expressed wish
for direct message from the old
Count Leo Nicolaevitch Tolstoy. Be
ing on unfriendly terms with the
Count and knowing that the Countess
was relative, grandniece. he asked
her to assist him.
Tell him." he said, that if he will
in friendly way. send a message
through you to me, l will send it to
the King of England and the Kaiser
of Germany
A week later, being a guest at her
uncle's, she delivered the Cars mes

81 would be glad to send message

the trouble Is, / have written all my

could not publish as fiction. There is
something that has haunted me fol

AS alluring and bewitching as she
seems, much destruction and agony
follow in her wake. Her breath reek-
ing of sordid transactions, her voice
of metallic character like gold, and her
look of greed are so much poison to
the nations which fall victims to her
charms.
And, behold, she has three gigan-
tic arms with three torches of uni
versal corruption in her hand. The
first torch represents the flame of
war, that the beautiful courtesan car
ries from city to city and country to
country. Patriotism answers with
flashes of honest flame, but the end
is the roar of guns and musketry.
THE second torch bears the flame
of bigotry and hypocrisy. 1t carries
the lamps only in temples and on the
affairs of sacred institutions. 1t car
ries the seed of falsity and fanaticism.

The third torch is that of the law,

authentic traditions, which first does
Its fatal work in the family, then
sweeps through the larger worlds OF
literature, art and craftsmanship.
The great confagration will start
about 1912, set by the torch of the

eastern Europe. 1t will result in a de-
structive calamity In 1918. In that
year l see all Europe in flames and
bleeding. l hear the lamentations of
huge battlefields.
But about the year 1915 a strange
figure from the North, a new Ma
poleon, enters the stage of the bloody
drama. ell is a man of little mill
/ taristic training, a writer or a jour
nalist, but in his grip most of Europe
will remain till 1925.
The end of the great calamity will
mark a new political era for the ole
world. There will be left no empires
and Kingdoms, but the world will
form federation of the United States
of Nations. There will remain only
four gerat giants-the Anglo-Saxons
