When You Darn Socks.

It is good plan in darning stock
tngs to hold the darned wool for
minute or two over the spout of ket-
tie of boiling water. This shrinks the
wool, and when the stockings are
washed there is no fear Of mended
parts shrinking away from the sur.

Dentist. Dispenser Of Health.

As prophylactic the dentist is
worth his weight in gold filings. We
Of the healing cult realize his useful
ness, nay, his indispensable help in
many OF our most obstinate easea.
Certain severe stomach troubles, ane-
mias and joint diseases in particular
will not respond TO treatment until
we call good dentist in consultation
and follow his expert advice in the
management OF the case.
A well-trained and studiously inclin-
ed dentist is as much specialist, a
dispenser OF health, as any oculist OF
neuroIogist or other qualified expert.
For example:
A middle-aged man suffered with
digestive disturbance which bothered
him more and more until it began TO
undermine his health His family
physician tried without success 10
give him relief, and then sent him on
TO a great city specialist on stomach
troubles.
The specialist employed all the labor
atory aids at his disposal. The pa
tient, being desperate. wished TO spare
no expense, and gladly submitted to
every test the specialist suggested.
But the chemical analysis of the stom-
aeh contents, obtained by means Of the
stomach tube after a test meal, show
ad no indication OF ulcer or cancer.
The blood count lby another labora-
tory expert showed nothing OF dag

is profit even in the buying and selling

But it is lucky for the Krupps that
they are cold-Dlooded men of science,
and do i.ot believe in ghosts and signs
and apparitions. For then they might
try 10 wash their hands some evening,
and they might like Lady Macbeth,

might behold the CHASTITY dead battal-

greed, their policies and their business
methods have helped to bring down

Of course. The kfupps were not the
makers Of this war, Al they did. in

Dear Sir: How did YOU pass storm

pray to deity that you are safely It
was so heavy storm as gave great big
damage TO very many people as you
know. The barn at your farm of Aigoa
blew down to pieces and part of roof
Of house fed away. so some part OF
ceiling dropped down and windows
broke off but house is standing very
fine without moving its foundation. I
think you can fix up house without
sending big expense MIR. pump of
well broke off and its pipe dropped
down in the bottom Mr. Quishis could
not stay in their house at midnight
wherefore they escaped TO wire fence
near house and were sitting down all
night and water was increasing so
badly to wet their belly l brought
her to town to escape some flood and
they went back to farm after 2 days
and will fix some way for short time.
MY crop went away nearly I wish
you may come down here in a few days
and look out good how to fix up,
Please let me hear good answer.

efficiency and success in the west. SO
does the exhibition of a marvellous
capacity of unreal in serious affairs
strike the foreign mind at once a.
plain for failure and as intellectually
offensive. The statecraft that is at
work in our country today--so typic-
ally manifested in the gesture Of the
hour--is based on an order Of ideas
which may have correspondent with
reality in the 18th century, when China
stood in splendid isolation; but In
these days when our very existence as
nation is in the trust OF friendly
powers, medieval concepts of gov
eminent must give way to the other
order Of ideas which inspire men in
the west to govern a country as ma
ton and not as a family domain. We
write these words less in the sense Of
active opposition 10 the monarchied
movement than of caution and counsel
to those who may know China even
IN her reeesses, but are in truth lack
ing in the foreign experience which
alone can enable them to understand
and to deal--otherwis than cropping
iy-with certain great categories Of
foreign affairs"
Continuing the discussion Of the
monarchial government, apart from
the attitude of the foreign papers, the
Picking Gazette says: While We fear
there may be tragic possibilities in
I the movement which is hurrying the
nation to the foot of a throne. We are
! free TO admit that the president
whose knowledge of his people is IN
matched by any other living Chinese
may yet be right in believing that
China must be ruled by an empire Il
| her salvation Is TO be achieved But not
the least OF the things that may make for
this possible success is the necessity
OF enyisaging the momentous change
as d transaction that cannot be COM
plete unless 1t receives foreign sane
ton and approval The elevation OK
the president to the seat vacated by
the Manchu has hitherto been regard
ed as a purely domestic matter Moth
! ing is more calculated 10 lead She n1-
thorities astray in a capital direction
than an adherence TO such a dubious
and false view of the relations Of this
| country to the outside world We
| have 10 insist upon the real connee-
ton that lies between the success Of
the great experiment which is on the
eve OF trial and foreign opinion"

Ben may be a good man, hut we do

he is. and when a man gets so he
