"Going home!" How often that
phrase has been sounded during the
past few weeks, before and after
Thanksgiving!
How it has animated the tired work.
er. the exile, the sad and the care
encumbered making work light and
dissipating the clouds OF sorrow ana
depression and gloom and discourage
mentI
What new elasticity it has given to
the feet of those in the long lines OF
the bag and suit case brigades, hurry
ing toward trains and ferries and
tubes and trolley cars and L roads
and post roads and all the other kind
of roads which, no matter how diverg-
ing, ultimately led to that sacred spot
called home!
And what intensity of sorrow was
born in the hearts and minds of those
thousands of mortals who had no
home to go to, as the holiday neared!
Who lacked the expectancy of glad
welcomings, the greetings of loved
ones, the warm hand clasps of friends!
Social workers in the big cities state
that there is no grief like that which
settles upon those disconsolate ones
derelicts. as the time of a holiday
nears. and they. alas! realize that they
have no home joys awaiting them.
Friendless, Penniless, wanderers,
cheaply paid workers who can claim
no better shelter than some cramped,
cherries, chilly, shabby hall bed
room; prodigals, male or female, who
through sin or weakness or evil doing
of some sort have cut themselves off
from all home ties. 1t is said that
their depression is deepened a hun
dred-fold at such times. especially as
they see their associates joyously go
ing off to homes, poor though they may
be, but nevertheless homes. Those are
the times when suicides increase;
when the river or the railroad or the
gas route offers a temptation to the
discouraged to give up the struggle!
Houses and homes. The thought
was suggested TO me today, as my eye
CHANGED to fall on a newspaper para
graph referring to the estate of the
richest man l ever knew.
There has been a quarrel about this
estate, and after much unpleasant
publicity and delay and expense and
wrangling and family bitterness, the
estate has finally been devided, so
that the daughter of this rich man
by his plain and humble first wife is
to receive $35,000.0000, while his sec
ond wife. the fashionable mate of his
successful years, it bought off with
So, 00O, 900.
The man ! am referring to had made
his way up from poverty in the fairy
story style possible only in America,
where fortunes are made in a night.
Hence he knew all about poverty,
privations. grinding work, the battling,
discouragi1g, uphill struggle in
which so many fail.
At che time that 1 knew him he had
six homes-and an abundance of
money to keep them up. In the first
place, he had a home in the western
city where his fortune had been made
no matter just how; but it was an
enormous one. then he had built a
wonderful mansion in a fashionable
summer colony in Connecticut, where
thirty seven men kept the grounds in
order and almost as many more in

If you have q poor memory do not
blame your ancestors or your teachers,
but yourself. 1t is up to us to keep
ourselves impressionable by having
live interest in everything we observe.
Be alive to the why's and wherefores
Of life in every direction and strive to
understand them. 1t is poor powers of
observation and lack of interest which
make the plate of memory unimpres-
sionable. If you cannot remember
names it is because you do not pay
attention enough to them. Repeat
names when persons are introduced to
you to yourself and spell them-get a
grip on them. The whole science OF
memory included in the study of
Mnemonics consists of simply
connecting things you do not recollect
with things you do. No one ever had
a good memory for just wishing for it.
They get it by working for it. You
can have a good memory by just culti
waiting it-paying the price.

There is a law against the use of
the muffier cutout at any time in the
state of Connecticut. and it ought to
be enforced to the limit, for there is
no conceivable reason for tolerating
this nuisance. And yet it is no I'M
common thing to hear automobiles
roaring with open muff1ers for two
or three or four blocks while getting
up speed or making a hill. Motorcy-
clistss, too, are persistent offenders,
and there is no vehicle in the world
that can make more noise in proper
ton to it's size than a motorcycle. Yet
there is no advantage whatever to be
gained in cutting out the muller of
properly designed car and even If
there was a legitimate demand for the
use of the cutout, the advantage gain

1t is an encouraging sign that the
leading educators of the country are
beginning to devote attention to the
problems of the rural school. The
general educational board of the Ma
tional Teachers association has tax
en- up the problem, and at it's outset
has discovered that as a rule all the
schools for the education of teachers
in their calling have devoted their
energies to fitting teachers to meet
the conditions that will confront
them in the city and village schools
and there has been little training for
the rural school teacher and the prob
lemI5 involved have been treated as
a negligible quantity in the field of
educational effort.-Torrington Regis

The average consumption of gaso-
line in motor vehicles is more than
ten gallons a week per car the year
round. Paying % cents per gallon for
gasoline will mean that the average
cost of operating an automobile will
be considerably more than 81 per week
greater during 1916 than it was in
1914. In the summer when the car
owner may require twice as much
gas the added cost will be felt as
a burden by hundreds of thousands
of Americans. Any federal tax upon
gasoline is. therefore. likely to be I'M
popular.-Hartford Post.

like to meet the man or woman
with love and good cheer so confirmed
in their hearts that the winter of old
age cannot freeze it out. These con-
genial souls are not so few as we
think, and they possess no power
which could not be our own. There is
no surer way of making life chilly
than by reviewing our trials and nurs-
ing grudges as a habit. Sensitiveness
and senselessness go hand in hand.
The hair-trigger temper has to be
cultivated, for there is nothing sensi-
BILE about it, or natural. 1t paves the
way to the deeps of dependency, to
the arctic regions of thought. We
cannot keep warm if we turn our
hearts into artificial ice plants, live in
a chilly atmosphere. make every soul
cool who approaches us, and blame
everybody but ourselves for our self
created and self-sustained miserable
condition.

ed thereby would be so slight as to be
negligible. Herbert Chase, mechanical
engineer for the Automobile club of
America, is authority for the state
ment that only a very slight advant-
age is apparent in the use of the cut
out, even with a motor, running as
fast as 1000 revolutions per minute,
which is the equivalent Of a higher
speed than the law allows. Besides
that, the cutout is placed at right an
giles to the exhaust pipe. so it cannot
relieve any alleged back pressure.

roaring cars through the streets at all

Just as ! happened in at a place of
business recently heard the conversa-
ton between two youth which clos
ed with this remark: -Four hundred
members on the books of that church
and twenty present to listen to the ser
mon. Amt that punlly?" Young eyes
observe and young minds form con-
illusions. This lad must have thought
the case he was publicly citing was
bad religious example, disgusting
ly manifest disloya1ty to professions
What do the unfaithful think of this :?
Four weeks from now are they going
to turn over another new leaf to look
back upon with remorse. Why doesn't
the church grow? Did lack of enthu-
siasm or unfaithfulness ever make
anything flourish. A boy beholds a
religious body's efforts and says:
Amt that punky!" Don't you think
In modern phrasiology that it is about
time to get a move on?

If you patronize the trolley cars
much You have been surprised to see
the passenger manouever who cheats
the conductor out of his fare. Did you
ever get on at Franklin square and
pretend you were a through passenger,
gaze out of the window so the con-
ductor could not catch your eye and
get through scott free?" Most of the
time the conductor knows you did it,
but your general respectable appear
ance makes him avoid a dispute with
you, because between dishonesty and
lying his very bread and butter may
be put in peril. How free is such a
ride as this? Being self-conscious
for a nickel seems to me to be about
as expensive a ride as anyone ever
took And this is happening every
day, too, and the conductor doesn't
speak of it, he only looks after US
sharper and keeps getting a poorer
to blame. That is the price we pre-
Ter to pay for a trolley ride.
Il takes severer weather than we
have had to stop things growing in
the garden The 0Eactt grass and the
and sowing seeds to clutter the garden
next spring. Before man became a
cultivator of the soil 1t was such per-
sistent weeds as these that worked
eight months in the year and clothed
the lean places of the earth with
beauty. The chickweed is often found
in flower in sheltered spots in Jan
uary and February. And this little
mouse cared plant must be recognized
as one Of our oldest Inhabitants. If
the toad preceded man by fifteen mill
lion years, these weeds preceded the
reptiles perhaps by as many more
millions of years. The chickweed pro-
| duces a million seeds to every plant,
so it is not strange it is one of the
most numerous of weeds and the birds
love it because it is tender. Man dis
likes it because it is so prolific and
| inconquerable. The hoe can only check
1t. 1t cannot be annihilated any more
than the mosquito.

Zach mans chimney is his mile
stone!" wrote Longfellow; and this is
true, when, at such holidays as
Thanksgiving or Christmas, thoughts
turn lovingly toward the old home;
when the sailor nears the glad home
port; when the tired worker realizes
that the days labor is ended, and at
last he can turn his face toward home.

remember once, in a western town,

find so many of the older houses with
their entrance doors opening directly
into the living -rooms-no halls, as we

Thin People
Can Increase Weight

Thin men and women who would
like to increase their weight with 10
or Is pounds of healthy stay there"
fat should try eating a little Sargol
with their meals for awhile and note
results. Here is good test worth
trying. First weigh yourself and
measure yourself. Then take Sargol
one tablet with every meal for
two weeks, Then weigh and measure
again 1t isn't a question of how you
look or feel or what your friends say
and think. The scales and the tape
measure will tell their own story, and
most any thin man or woman can
easily add from five to eight pounds in
the first fourteen days by following
this simple direction. And best of all,
the new flesh stays put
Sargol does not of itself make fat,
but mixing with your food, it turns
the fats, sugars and starches of what
you have eaten, into rich, ripe fat
producing no,-rishment for the tissues
OF the blood-prepares it in an easily
assimilated form which the blood can
readily accept, All this nourishment
now passes from your body as waste.
But Sargol stops the waste and does it
quickly and makes the fat producing
contents of the very same meals you
are eating now develop pounds and
pounds of healthy flesh between your
skin and bones. Sargol is safe, pleas
ant, efficient and inexpensive.
Druggists sell it in large boxes

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK, THICK, GLOSSY
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur
and Nobody Will Know.

Almost everybody knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray; also ends dandruff, itch
ing 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 we simply ask at any
drug store for "Weyth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle for about so cents. Everybody
uses this old, famous recipe, because
no one can possibly tell that you dark
ened your hair, as it does it so natur-
ally and evenly. You dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hiar disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger.
