SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

R6eumntism depends on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting The
muscles and joints, producing inflana-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
rets into the blood through some de-
fect III the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
news and skin are too torpid to carry

Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful IN tne
treatment Of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly, with purifying effect, on the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver kidneys AMI skin, which it
stimulates, and at the same time it
improves the digestion.

THE IDLE LIFE
Work and Be Hdppy
By
ELLEN ADAIR

II is curious thing that some people
who are otherwise perfectly sensible and
weikbaianced should fondly imagine that
the goal Of all human ambition Is the
same and that humanity as a whele Is
striving and working with one end only
IN yiew-the attainment Of the idle life.
II Sertain people were questioned as to
their ultimate hopes and ambitions, and
~ they answered truly, they would tell
us that life free Of all suggestion Of
work is the Ell Dorado on which their
eyes are fixed.
But idleness never yet brought happi-
ness to mankind. The human brain Is
so constructed that It must never be al
lowed TO 20 idle for long. For mental
idlenees means mental stagnation. THE
brain is like the hand, and grows with
using" Conversely, the mind that is not
employed will dwarf and shrink, will
turn back on itself and will harbor all
mRnner Of unhappy thoughts and dull
ideas.
II hate this continuous grind Of work.
Gays one person gloomily. IF only had
enough money never would do another
stroke of work in my lifel Thoee people
who don't do anything, and who, there
fore, haven't care in the world, are so
lucLy!'
But the person who hasn't a care in
the world doesn't exist except In the
Imagination of grumblers and very youth
full individuals of strong socialistic ten
denotes. For, no matter how many mill
lions of dollars n human being can lay
claim to, he cannot lay claim to life
absolutely care-free and devoid of worry.
For each must shoulder his own moral
responsibility. And no person on earth
can escape worries and trials II the
shallow thinkers would only believe IT,
the man or woman who to all outward ap-
pearances is leading an idle life is up
against a much harder proposition than
is the little stenographer who Is plodding
patiently or impatiently along on her S12
a week. and who Is or is not rebelling at
the hand OF cruel fate which compels
her to do so.
II work is the salvation of mankind, 1t
certainly Is the salvation of womankind,
too. The extraordinary and appalling |
divorce statistics cited recently can very
largely be traced to the old proverb about |
Satan finding plenty OF mischief for idle |
hands to do. And herein lies the fallacy |
of the idle life" as an aim and ambl- |
tion. For there Is no such thing as an |
idle llfe-the mind is always working, al
ways thinking out new schemes and II |
an overmuch degree OF leisure is forced !

sacrifices marriage for career loses
good deal.
Women's clubs are doing much for the
women OF America. Every city in the
West has its women's clubs. They reach
out helping hand, and act as a mental
stimulus to all classes OF women and
particularly to those who have no op-
portunities in their own homes.
Another thing that votes for women
will do is to ensure the economic inde-
pendence OF women. Women will then
realize that they can afford TO wait until
the right man comes along, for they
will be Independent financially. The bal
lot will mean a raise in the salary OF
women. Businesses which employ women
should not be allowed to live.
Votes for women will also bring a
minimum wage. A minimum wage bill
will certainly be passed. There will be a
regulation of the hours per day OF labor,
and a child labor law will surely be
passed. Women will sec to IL that their
children stay In school up to a certain
specified age.
The average woman, too will vote for
prohibition. II Is a notable fact that the
four states that went In for prohibition,
namely Washington, Arizona, Colorado
and Oregon, were all suffrage States.

ment by vote OF 81 to II, which, COM

waged before will be carried on IN this
State. Woman after woman is simply
dedieating herself to the movement, from
April 10 November, for they fully realize
that failure this year would mean ave

DGtIids and HOU to GrOlU Them
BY JULIE KING

! No flower will give more satisfaction
! and finer display late in the summer
| than da'nlias,
They come in many varieties, single
and double, and are among the easiest
ANNALS to grow.
They can be raised from seed to bloom
the first year by starting a few 5 or
10 cent packages indoors in boxes now.
Transplant these to your garden early
In June. But / find a better way for
beginner Is to buy bulbs-most depart
ment stores will have them on sale very
reasonably.
If planted out early in May there should
be masses of blossoms two months or
longer during the summer.
The "Pompon" or any of the small
flower sorts usually bear more. making
a fine variety for cutting. Any of the
cactus are handsome. Try to plant these
so as to keep each color by itself.
The "Peony' flowered is a good, easy
grower and most effective. You will find
in looking over your seed catalog many
varieties, and all colors are to be had,
so you can have abundance of color in
your garden late in the season, with
plenty to cut for the house.
They flourish better in deep rich soil
and need lots of moisture, although l
have known them to do quite well in
sandy spot.
1t seems too bad more of our garden
lovers have not recognized the beauty
of this decorative fall bloomer. Do ar
range few clumps in your borders this
summer; or II you have no garden, surely
you can find spot to plant a. few of
these dear old garden friends, so magnih-
cent in foliage and colors.
Be sure all danger OF frost Is over be-
fore setting out your bulbs and don't
plant them too close together; give each
one a deep hole and plenty of space to
grow.
Supports must be given them as soon
as your judgment tells you they need
them; use good heavy stakes, put deep In
the ground and tie the plants to these.
Pinck off the first few buds that ap-
pear; this gives moro strength to the
roots, assuring larger blossoms. An
other thing, to thin out your foliage,
don't let 1t grow too thick and pinch
off few of the weaker shoots In mid
summer.
Every two or three weeks throw a.
little manure about the roots. If YOU
find bugs and slugs attacking them, dust
a little lime or SCOT near the plants or
lay few cabbage or lettuce leaves on
the ground around them; often the bugs
enjoy these as well-Rnd our plants are
saved
Some Gardeners cut q potato or radish
into small pieces, put a stick In them and
plant them in the ground near the flow
ers, stick marking the spot The latter,
when moved every day or two, is found
TO be covered with bugs. After washing
these off, the stick is returned to the
ground In this way the dahlias are freed
from the pests
After most of your flowers nave flow
cred the bulbs must be taken up. Before
you disturb them. while they are still in
blossom, you will enjoy marking them
for another years planting. selecting
your favorites and arranging the colors
