All a Part of Beauty.

whats the use of discussing the
question as to how 'homely girls may
secure husbands" said an observant
Broadwayite as he watched the mat
inee crowd. There are no homely
girls in this city. You may see plenty
that you think are homely, but do not
feel sorry for them-they don't think
SO. There is not woman who In her
heart Goes not feel that she looks well.
l know a young lady who is distress
ingly cross-eyed. One day expressed
sympathy for her Don't pity her, ex-
claimed another woman. She likes her
eyes. She believes they are her chief
beauty. Thinks they make her look
cute And SO it is with all women.
Their blemishes are regarded as aids
to beauty. There is a well-known
actress who has large pale brown
mole on one of her cheeks. 1t is near
ly as large as a dime. Do you think
she regards it as a blemish? Not at
all; she likes it and has suits made
to match it in color"

THREADING THE BEATEN PATH
They Have Discovered All Things
Along the Route.

Most of us grow weary at times of
what we call the beaten path. We
have trod it sc often that we imagine
we know it's mileposts by heart and
believe that with eyes and ears closed
to what is going on about us we could
tell in a moment our whereabouts.
This may be true to a degree, but
such intuition is not given to every
one, and sometimes even to those who
really think they have explored all the
byways of the great path of life many
things are yet undiscovered. 1t all
really is a question of our own abil-
ity to appreciate and use to our ad-
vantage such conditions as influence
our Individual lives. OF course, If we
have no desire beyond attaining a
purely worldly success we limit our
possibilities of enjoying life to its
highest degree, because material sue
cess is not everything in this world
It is very good, to be sure, and very
satisfying in way, but even those
who can bear personal testimony to
it's many advantages are the first to
admit that wealth and high worldly
position do not comprise the sum total
of happiness. We must have an inner
life, consciousness Of the existence
of something better and higher than
the world affords, before we can
really deem ourselves wholly blessed
And that realization is often easier
obtained by the man who has little or
by his more fortunate brothers who

NATURE UPLIFTED BY LOVE
Mans Affection for Dumb Animals
Has Been the Means Of Broad
ening His Intellect.

Who has not loved horse, a dog, a
cat or a bird? He has missed a re-
filming and softening influence in life.
There is something in our love for
animals that lies deep in our hearts.
Why we love them is a question not
easily answered. 1t is not animal in
stinct; that leads to contempt of an
inferior. The sick animal in herd
or the weakling in pack is Ill treated
or killed by it's fellows. Our love for
them comes partly from their depend
ence on us. Mans nature differs
from that of lower animals; weakness
and dependence appeal to his tender
ness. Our love for an animal appears
to lift 1t up out Of the commonplace.
The love and companionship that man
has given the dog has raised him in
the ranks of creatures. 1t has in
creased his intelligence. He has even
gained some traits Of human beings.
In strength of love and faithfulness
the dog exceeds most human animals.
And man loses nothing by companion
ship with animals. His intellect Is
broader, he has wider and deeper SYM
pathy with all the world. His nature
is uplifted by the love he bears his
dog or his horse.
Kindness to animals and love for
them should be taught children from
their earliest years. 1t is a duty Of
parents, of teachers, of employers.
Some employers need to give more
care to how their horses are driven.
Boys driving delivery wagons are Oft
en- cruel from want of knowledge. If
all were imbued with kindness for ami
mails, there would be little work left
for humane societies.

And the best of it is you need never
hesitate to use resinol soap and resinol
ointment. There is nothing in them
to injure the tenderest surface. Res
mol is DOCTORS prescription, which
for twenty years has been used by
careful physicians for all kinds of skin
affections. They prescribe resinol
freely, confident that its soothing,
healing action is brought about by
medication so bland and gentle as to

tated skin-even of tiny baby. Every

KEEP AMERICANS Off
ALLIES BRYAN
Few Reckless Citizens Should Not
Drag U. S. Into War, Says
Former Secretary

Chicago, ILL.,. Aug. 23.-William J..
Bryan, former Secretary of State, last
night gave out the following signed
statement:
Il have read the editorial opinions
concerning the sinking of the Arabic,
as those opinions were reproduced in
Saturday mornings papers, but they
| seem to me to avoid the most impor-
tant question. The real question is
not whether American citizens have,
under international law, a right to
travel through the danger zone on the
ships of belligerent nations. That is
admitted. The question just now is
whether an American citizen should
put his convenience or even his rights
ABOVE his nations welfare. If Ameri-
can citizens refuse to consider their
own safety or the safety of the nation,
then second question arises, namely.
whether the government should per-
INIT a Few persons to drag the country

our government has made its pro-
test and there is no doubt that the
position taken is abundantly sup
ported by precedent, but that does not
necessarily mean that we are going
u war. Diplomacy has not vet con-
ciuded its work, and even If diplomatic
efforts fail we have recourse to the
treaty plan, which must be resorted
10 in case of disputes with Great Brit
taln, France. Italy and Russia, and
should be resorted to before going to
war with any other belligerent nation
If the treaty plan fails we still
nave a choice between entering this
war and the postponement of final
settlement until Deace is restored, In
the meantime it will be we'll to think

men are certainly entitled to consid-

Danger to their country.
1t is time for the unneutral por-
ticn of the press of the United States
to lay aside its bias and unite in help
ing the President to keep the country
out of war
The pro-allies papers are insisting
upon war with Germany, for the bene-
III OF the allies, and pro-German pa
pers are insisting upon an embargo on
arms and ammunition for the benefit
OF Germany. If these two groups of
papers would join together and urge
measures to restrain American citi-
Gens from going into the danger zone
on belligerent ships, and prohibiting
american passenger ships from carry
ing arms and ammunition-if they
would do this, they would aid in pre-
Nentlng war and in reserving for our
nation the priceless opportunity to act
as peacemaker when the time for
peace arrives"
