Good Disposition an Asaet.

It is a pity that children are not
taught the value of good disposition.
Perhaps the reason for the neglect is
that so much insistence is placed on
the qualities that, taken together,
make up disposition. But there Is
something in disposition itself, in at.
titude, that ought to be made clear.
II we have the wrong attitude, no mat
ter how hard we may strive to cult.
vate this good quality or that. it is
almost impossible for US to go through
the day harmoniously and happily.

be observed"

EASY TO ovERDO ONES WORK
Housewives Might Well Take Advice
From One Who Has Thoroughly
Studied the Subject.

"No matter how busy, a woman
should take time to rest five minutes
several times a day" said Miss Mary
F. Rausch, assistant professor of
home economics at the University Of
Washington, in an address before the
American Bankers association at
Seattle. "There are some housekeep-
ers who make life a burden for every
one in the family. These are the
women who are too clean about
housekeeping and who want to polish
every nail in the attic floor SO as to
show that they are good housekeep-
ers and have everything bright and
shiny.
'eNo woman should become a slave
in her home. She must learn to let
things go and not be ashamed Of q
little clean dust on the tables or OF
the piano.
"NIany housekeepers think thai
housekeeping is drudgery, but tina.
is because they do not know how t.
do it in the easiest way so as to make
it a real pleasure. 1t is far easier t.

Psalm of War.

The War Lord is my shepherd
l shall always be in want.
He maketh me to lie down in

into chill waters. He harasseth
my soul; he leadeth me into hell
ish combat for his fame's sake.
Yea, though l come unscathed
from the shadow of death, l
shall be no better off for thou art
still with me; thy tyranny and
thy taxes discomfort me
Thou preparest danger for me
in the presence of so-called enc
mics; thou makest me useless

Surely evil and hatred will fol-
low me all the days of my life,
and l shall dwell in the army of

WOMAN GETS RELEASE
AFTER TWENTY A

Suffered From Catarrhal TrOub-
les. Declares, She Found
Prompt Relief After Taking
Master Tanlac.
The greatest proof that Tanlac
will give relief in cases of ca
tarrh, comes from Mrs. E. j.
Savoie, who resides at $40 Lulu
street, Wichita, Kansas, this is
what she had to say regarding
the Master Medicine"
II was troubled with a catarr-
hal cough for the past twenty
years, l coughed up mucous mat
ter and l usually went around
with a dull throbbing headache.
i suffered with severe pains be-
tween my eyes, and when / got
up in the mornings there was a
.fulness in my head and l was
.loggy and listless generally.
81 have taken four bottles of
Tanlac, and the cough has about
left me entirely. l don't have
the pains any more, and the
change in my condition is so re-
markable that the neighbors
have noticed it. l feel greatly
indebted for what Tanlac has
done for me, and will take adj
tage of every opportunity to tell
anyone about it that is suffering
from catarrh."
One of the most prevalent and
distressing conditions is chronic

MERE FABLES, SAYS EXPERT
Museum Director DEGREES Stories Of
Large sums Being Paid for speel-
mems Of Natural History.

F. A. Lucas, director of the Mu-
scum of Natural History, New York,
in disputing a recent statement chat
some of the butterfly farmers OF Eu-
rope have reared specimens selling
for $5,0OO," asks for the names OF
the men who ever spent that amount
for a butterfly.
During my forty years expert
ence in both buying and selling his
tory material" says he, 81 have never
even heard Of a butterfly having
sold for such an enormous price, nor,
in fact, anything like that sum, and
the statement is likely to arouse in
some Of your readers expectations
destined never to be realized.
Many years ago, when at the
United States National museum, the
correspondence clerk was kept busy
contradicting the statement that a
certain butterfly had recently been
purchased for the sum Of $4,000.
Quite recently a statement, equally
false, went the rounds of the papers,
stating that Sir Walter Rothschild
had paid $1,000 for a flea.
GAS a matter of fact, there is
hardly a natural history specimen Of
any kind, save precious stones, that
cannot be purchased for $4,000, and
usually for a great deal less"

morning and ending at 8 in the

chance to hear men discuss rural
conditions and modern progress
sive movements for the better
ment Of country life, as they
have learned from years of
study and investigation. From
8 to 6 o'clock each afternoon, the
rural preachers will be given an
opportunity to attend the Home
Makers and Rural Life confer
ences. Professors L. L. Bernard
and S. D.. Gromer of the Univer-
sity faculty and Prof. A. w. Tay-
lor of the Missouri Bible College
will lecture daily at the country
preachers meeting.
