tributed so largely to the maintenance
OF the corrupt practises and that the
list of indictments included As sa-

on the criminals, Judge Anderson was
constrained to remark:
my notion is that the saloon will
have to 60 believe the time will

The president of the Russian Duma,
in his speech opening the new session
on February 9, 1915, referred to the
prohibition Of vodka in the following
words: .-... %@--s-i. j..

According to the London Times, at
these words "a scene OF indescribable

a letter dated December 81, 1914, and
issued by the British Press Bureau on
January II, 1915, Professor Pares, the
British official eyewitness with the
Russian troops, in referring to the
absence of vodka In the army, says:

FRILLS ALLURE
AVERAGE MALE;
not GOOD COOK

There are such things as ideals
and, for myself, / cannot follow the
lire of reasoning which says that a
woman's attraction depends upon the
way she serves the dinner. Otherwise,
great heavens. let every man marry
his cook or his waitress and be done
with it,
But no. After all the unreal argu.
ments have faded away we find our.
selves facing single fact: Love is
ideal before 1t is practical. Our court
ship is like dream. Our married
life is AN attempt to make that dream
come true.
.'In seeking for woman's attrac,
ton, therefore, we must be guided
more by the glamour of moonlight than
the fierce white light OF logic.
st is my opinion that a man Is at.
tracted, whether he knows it or not,
by the essentially feminine in woman
by her frills, her ornaments, her
weaknesses, her Inconsistencies, all
those variations of thought, manner
or appearance which distinguish her
from the ordinary man.
tAnd whether she knows il or not
I believe that girl is instinctively
aware of this. When a woman wishes
to make an impression on man. she
decks herself out with all sorts oil
laces and adornments. She makes
herself as feminine as she, can. "-Wo

The question of food is important to

the quantity as the quality; not how
much but what you eat. And what
you eat must vary from one day to
another according to the amount Of

Do not cut down your food on the
day when you have exercised more
than usual. That is when You need
the full supply. On this matter you
will have to exercise your own iudg-

HEADSLIST Of
NEEDS OF LIFE

You can lead the Intellectual life:
even you. No matter who you are or
where you are placed. you can make
your mind thing OF joy
You may be farmer boy, or busy
working girl, or burdened house
wife, storekeeper: It makes no diff.
ference; the door Of the intellectual
life is open before you; enter il you
will.
First of all let us get at some prac.
tical ways and means, for that Is what
we all want most to know. There are
some plain rules to which we ought 70
attend; in the neglect OF ignorance Of
them we fall into despair.
At the head OF the list Of vital things
to believe in comes Self. You must
have and doggedly cling to your self
confidence. Do not despise your own
mind. 1t may not be ss bright as this
mans nor as retentiye as that mans;
but it is your own Il Is precisely
adapted to your personality. It may
not be the best mind in the world, but
the best for You.
You are not to cultivate your mind
so as to excel someone else, to know
more, and to be more clever than 9TH
ers, but for your Own satisfaction.
