less, the foolish. the silly; let go OF
the shams, the shoddy, the false; let
go of the straining to keep up appear
ances, let go of the superficial, let
go Of the vice that cripples, the false
thinking that demoraIizes, and you
will be surprised to see how much
lighter and freer and truer you are to
run the race, and how much surer of
the goal.
The American people do not know
how to let go. We keep our muscles
tense and our nerves up to such
pitch that it is the hardest thing in
the world for US to drop things.
Why not resolve this coming year
that whatever you do or do not do,
you will not be haunted by skeletons.
that you will not cherish shadows?
Determine that you will have nothing
to do with discords, that every one of
them must get out of your mind. No
matter how formidable or persistent,
wipe them out. Forget them. Have
nothing to do with them. Do not let
the little enemies-worry and fear,
anxiety and regret-sap your energy,
for this is your capital for future
achievement
Whatever is disagreeable, whatever
irritates, nags, destroys your balance
of mind, forget it-thrust it out. It
has nothing to do with you now. You
have better use for your time than
to waste it in regrets, in worry, in
useless tribes. Make war upon de-
spondency, if you are subject to it.
Drive the blues" out Of your mind as
you would thief out of your house.
Shut the door in tbs face of all your
enemies and keep it shut. Do not
wait for cheerfulness to come to you.
Go after it; entertain it; never let
1t go.
If you have had an unfortunate ex-
perience forget it. If you have made
failure in your speech, your song,
you book, your article; if you have
been placed in an embarrassing posi-
ton; if you have fallen and hurt your
self by a false step; if you have been
slandered and abused, do not dwell
upon it. There is not a single redeem
ing feature in these memories, and
the presence of their ghosts will rob
you of many a happy hour. If you
have been indiscreet, imprudent; if
your reputation has been injured SO
that you fear you can never redeem it,
do not drag the hideous shadows, the
rafting skeletons about with you.
Rub them off the slate of memory.
Forget them. Start with clean slate
and spend all your energies in keeping
it clean for the future, and you will be
surprised at the transformation in
your life and it's effect upon those
around you.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color.
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle Of the famous
old recipe for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it SO naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy

Busby-No-o-o! It's war. They're
fighting. The report from Berlin says
they've licked tn British army to a

fall into tn Turks hands.
Mrs. B. (calmly)-I can't see what

Why, they'd loot it.
Mrs. B. (innocentlyl-O what?

A brief silence ensues.
Mrs. Busby (sweetly) there
are no locks in the Suez canal
And it wasn't any consolation to
Busby to remember that he had no
one but himself to blame.

HEADACHX,
SICK 'CASCARETS'
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.

Sick headache, biliousness, dizzi-
ness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath-always trace them to torpid
liver; delayed, fermenting food in the
bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the in
testines, instead of being cast out
of the system is re-absorbed into the
blood. When this poison reaches the
delicate brain tissue it causes con-
gestion and that dull, throbbing, sick
ening headache.
Cascarets Immediately cleanse the
stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all
the constipated waste matter and
poisons in the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will surely
straighten you out by morning. They
work while you sleep-a 10-cent box
from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. Adv.

Woman,s LOGIC.


You sometimes wonder about the
logic of the feminist mind.
A man was to meet his wife at ner
office at one o'clock to take luncneon
with her. He was 20 minutes late. She
had gone out. -
He sat down and waited. At 1880
she arrived.
ssWhat are you doing here?" she
asked.
.I'm waiting for you.''
"Didn't you know / wouldn't come
back after I'd given you up and gone
out?"
"But you did come back, didn't you!
You are back now, aren't your?

that when / did come back ! Woulo

WAR Terms NOT UNDERsTOon
"ForIcrn Hope" for Instance H.s NJ.
the Meaning With Which It
Is Credited.

IN the course of every war ono
hears a great deal about afor,orn
hopes. The term is one Of tha most
misused in the vocabulary Of war #
IS commonly misunderstood to mean
lost troop"-that is detached
troop The word s'hope. in tbs
phrase is not an English but a Dutch
WORD hoop meaning literally
neap," and secondarily body Of
troops. The word "forlorn" represents
the Dutch "verloren' A ever
loren hoop was detached BODY Of
troops thrown out in front of the main
line Of battle to find the enemy
and engage them first. This was the
regular sixteenth and seventeenth
century practice, and though it was
one OF the more dangerous kinds Of
service it was not desperate or. in
the English sense, forlorn. Nowadays
much the same work is done by the
detached bouies of cavalry which are
thrown out before the main line to find
the enemy.
ID dAOtH0T TERM OI
war, which is very loosely used. 1t
does not mean Surrender, but sur
render on terms; in fact, it means the
terms, not the surrender. It is from
the Latin scapitulum" or heading
(from which is derived our word
"chapter'), and a capitulation is a
formal treaty of surrender drawn up
under series of headings or chap
tiers, embodying the terms on each
point.

IRRITATING NEUTRALITY

There's no denying tt-this country is getting to be mighty unpopular with large of the world It's the benigerent part abroad and at home
 The neutrals seem to like us. The foreign neutrals snuggle up closer and closer Uncle and the do nestle neutrals feel that while Uncle has made some mistakes since the started they've been errors Of the head and not the heart and therefore deserve ndu gence
 But these belIigerents-at home and abroad-there'7 no pleasing them. Germany jumps onto for playing Engands game and England jumps onto for playing Germany's game and the multtudinous members of the Hyphen American family regardless of their first names swell the chorus of foreign criticism, while Uncle Sam scratches honest old head and wonders whether he's really such an internal ingrate hypocrite he's painted.
 But Uncle is beginning to see what the real trouble is and glimpse o the truth his worry into grim satisfaction
 Whats the neutral hue between black and white? Cray of course But in comparison with black gray may look white: and in comparison with white, gray may look black
 To belHgerents shouting and pummelling the life out of each other there no gray-there is nothing but snow-vhe and etblack representing friend and enemy.
  against him. People whose blood is boiling with wal heat recognize no halfwoy policy They cannot compre- hend neutrality. The calm neutral is so far removed from their excited maginngs that there is bridging the gulf
 If only one group of bellgerents were assailng us we should have grave for alarm When both sides assa us the truth is plain any capable of judg ment the policy pursued by our government gives of fense to both the government is steering neutral course
 And that is what have done. It may be argued that many of our people individuals have failed to pu sue the middle course But our public conduct is not open to such accusation If this balanced chorus of dis approval means anything all it means that in word and deed the government of the United States, repre- sentng the dominant sober thought of the nation ha. been honestly and thoroughly neutral
 Let the belligeren then as long as both sides rage. It's pretty tough on Uncle Sam but clear con science can endure heap of abuse.

 Another message read, "It is impossible to break through the whirlpool of wild and warning vibrations which surcharge the ethe rover Europe. Will you please give this message to my daughter?"
 No less remarkable is a series of messages which rurport to come from Frank R stockton, the Ameri can author who died years ago and from whom Miss Etta de Camp proesses to have received the sey eral stories she has published in his since his death Miss de Camp declares in statement in the New World that she mas received the following from MT.
