self-tended. We must teach our chill
dren to be unselfish or they do not
become so. But the necessity Of think

child to be good to another without

for the pure pleasure Of doing good.
In fact, l do not see how we can really
teach the children kindness, justice and
unselfshness unless we do give them dogs
or kittens 10 exercise those faculties on.
And then that other faculty of the hu-
man heart--'the greatest of these"-love.
All human beings respond naturally to
the feeling of love, but those who love
animals have, ! truly believe, greater
capacity for the love of their own kind
than have those who have never had the
care of the dumb creatures who have to
look TO US for all their needs.
One mother has asked me how she was
to have pets in a city apartment. She
said, and very truly. that she felt sorry
for the dogs who are housed in that re-
stricted fashion. with never a bit of grass
to run on. That Is one of the problems
of the city mother which We will have to
take up in a later talk. But to those not
SO restricted l say. do not fail to give
your child a pet to love and care for.

HOROSCOPE.


Inc stars incline, but do not compel
Friday, September "A, 1915.
On this day when the autumn quar-
ter begins the Sun enters Libra in
the second house. conjoined to Venus
and opposed to the Moon in the eighth
house. The cross aspects Of the Moon
and Mercury with Saturn and Mars
are not encouraging for the peace of
tho world, according to the reading
for Great Britain.
At Washington the end Of Gemini
rises and the ingress falls on the cusp
of the fifth house. This is interpreted
as forecasting a panic in Wall street
and great shortage in revenues for
the Federal government. Heavy ex-
are indicated. Syndicalistic and Social
istic agitation are also predicted. Jupi-
ter in the tenth will bring new honors
to the President of the United States.
For this day Uranus is promising
and Saturn adverse SO that good and
bad influences appear to balance.
1t Is rather a fortunate time for the
forming of acquaintances between men
and women and the stars presage q

SHALL WOMEN PROPOSE!

1t is an old question, ever new
this question as, to whether or no
women should assume mans preroga
tive in the matter of proposing. Their
are some women who are just lit
tie shocked at The >suggestion--a
they are inclined to be shocked a
- any suggestion of deviation from th'
way things have always been. Othel
women take the suggestion as some
thing humorous. There are alway.
any number OF jokes cracked abou
the Leap Year girl.
Then there are other women who
seriously think that women ought tc
do the proposing. There is nothing
in the thought that either shocks them
or makes them smile. Among this
class of women is Mrs. Tweedle who
has recently written book which
she calls women the World Over,
in which she says:
"Of course women should propose
1t is women who change their entire
lives by matrimony; it is women who
take on colossal responsibility by
matrimony The woman should sure
" be allowed to choose the man for
whom she feels herself able to work
and give Men propose; men have had
it all in their own hands up to now,
and if they have married the wrong
woman they have only themselves to
blame for it.
But do you really think that under
the old order men have had it all
their own way? Perhaps women
haven't done the proposing, but they
have done the rejecting, and in one
way or another she usually manages
to exert as much choice in the prob
lem OF choosing life partner as her
brothers do.
Hardly any OF us would deny that
music has an elcvating influence To
be sure the argument that music, in
the form of popular-priced opera and
concerts, is accessible to the poor of
Europe, is not very convincing at the
present time, when those musically
elevated people are all at war. We
have always heard much of the fact
that the poor people OF Europe have
opportunity to hear music which in
this country only the well-to-do can
afford.
But music is not responsible for
the war, of course, and there is every
reason why we should cultivate as
high standard of music in our Cap
ital as is to be found in the capitals
Of Europe. But the movement can
make very little progress if the pres
sure is exerted only from the top. 1t
is the fact that the humble folk of
Europe have appreciated good music
that has made it possible for them to
hear it.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair ir
good condition. the less soap you use
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle and
is very harmful. just plain mulsified
cOcoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
soap or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly in
icre the hair.
6Iaply moisten your hair with wa
DER and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for

PHOTO DRAMA OF CREATION

This great collection of Bible pic
lures, will be presented, free of
charge, in Yonge's hall, Ocala, three
successive nights, beginning Friday,
July %, at 7:3O and continuing thru
Saturday and Sunday.
No collection Of Bible pictures, per-
haps, has excited more favorable
comment among truth loving people
than these pictures, together with the
Photographic lectures accompanying
them, which are of great assistance
IN coming to a correct understanding
of the great truths of the Bible. They
have been prepared at great expense,
by philanthropic people, whose sole
desires have been to assist others in
coming to realization of their true
relationship to just and loving God,
and they are being presented to the
people of Ocala and vicinity under the
auspices of the Associated Bible Stud
ents, absolutely free of charge. No
collections are ever taken nor any
charge made for seats. The public is
invited to come and partake of a
feast prepared for those who rever-
ence Jehovah.
The lectures are strictly undenom-
national and non-sectarian, being pre-
pared with great care by thorough
Bible students. They have received
the endorsement of people, both
clergy and laity, of all denominations;
and are acknowledged to have been
instrumental in throwing more light
on Bible teachings than many of the
modern methods of Bible study.

plans to see and hear this wonderful
collection of pictures and lectures. 1t
