FIND GOODNESS IN PLEASURE
People Are Beginning to Understand
That II Is a Mistake to Work
Too Hard.

For a good many years we lad a
creed that the only way to >eep men
or women good was to work them to
death. We didn't consider ourselves
yirtuous unless we ended each day so
toil-wearied that we had no ambition
Tor anything but bed. When we had
a holiday we didn't know how to use
it, and either slept it away or did
something that landed us in jail.
The doctors are telling US now that
there is a fatigue poison; that we owe
it to ourselves not to overwork. The
.;reat labor unions are demanding
shorter hours and graded work, so that
men and women workers shall not be
overtaxed, and so that the few may
not be overworked and underpaid at
the expense of the many.
We are learning very, very gradu,
ally, that man was not created to labor
Is hours out of the "a in order that
he may have the privilege of eating
and sleeping. Very, very gradually
we are being taught that we are part
ners in Gods pasture, and that, rich
or poor, we have the right to take our
share Of sunshine and fresh air and an
idle time to enjoy them.
A fair measure of leisure in each
day is necessary to cultivate sweet
ness and saneness of soul, and the
man or woman, boy or girl, so over
worked that there is no opportunity
for recreation, never reaches the high
er planes of being. Indeed, too much
work has often been as much a breed.
er of crime as too much idleness.
Sometimes It is a desperate effort
to escape from the grind. More often
it is an intelligent craving for excite
something different"
| believe it is in one of Aesop's
fables where we are told of the man
who was so busy grubbing in the muck
heap that he never had time to look
up and see the crown above his head.

ABSOLVES ROCK ISLAND d.
RECTORS IN IMPORTANT SUIT

In the United States District Court
in New York City, February 2t,
Judge Pulius Mayer handed down an
order authorizing Walther c. Noyes,
as receiver of the Chicago Rock
Island and Pacific Railroad Com
pany, to settle and compromise all
the claims of the receiver and the
railroad company against the direc-
tors for S75O,000, paid by Daniel G.
Reid and William II. Moore. The or
der is the result of a petition by
Judge Moves, as receiver, supported
by the affidavit of Charles Z. Rush
more, counsel to the receiver.
The chief claims asserted were
that purchase of the Frisco system
was violation of the Sherman act
and resulted in a great loss to the
railroad company and that dividends
had been paid out of current earn
ings when the capital of the COM
pany was impaired by the sale of the
Frisco stock. The affidavit of Mr..
Rushmore, supporting Judge Noyes'
petition for leave to settle, stated the
belief of the receiver and his counsel
that the receiver could not success
fully litigate the claim and that no
liability could be successfully assert
ed against either Reid of Moore.
The defense of Messrs. Reid and
Moore and the other directors have
thus received the sanction of the
court, and they are absolved from
all liability, to either the receiver,
the company, the stockholders, OF
creditors.

There will be no special edition
of the Democrat at any time soon.
A few weeks ago a party came into
the Office and offered us certain
price for 120 inches of advertising
space on two inner pages, to which
we agreed but he later had sold
space on the front page and turned
several other little tricks that were
not strictly according to Hoyle, and
for which we are not responsible
and the whole affair has blown up.
If we decide to put out such an edi-
ton later on we will do so on our
own hook and will have no connec-
ton whatever with the fly-by-night
gentry who are out for the financial
end of it only

A MODERN COUNTRY CHURCH

John L. Boles and several of his
neighbors were in from the Wide
Awake community Monday to haul
out car load of sand for the founda-
ton of their new NJ. E. church which
will soon be under course of con-
struction. The church will be a
frame building, % by 40 feet in di-
mension, and will be equipped with
basement and class rooms. This
speaks well for the enterprising spir-
it of the people of that community
as you see but very few country
churches rugged up like this one will
be when completed.

Helpful
Health Hints

To have health means to be educated in to
knowing how to stay we'll, or what to do
when the first symptoms Of disease appear.
Advise to young doctor desiring success:
Tell your patients what they ought to hear
instead of what they want to hear.
We should drink freely upon arising, upon
retiring, during the forenoon and during
the afternoon. Nothing is more neglected
than this, because nothing is more difficult
to keep in mind. Try to acquire the
watering habit.
Do you know that the treatment given by
an osteoPath is not rubbing or massage?
Massage is not even taught in osteoPathic
schools. adjustment cannot be accomplish
ed by massage, and the osteoPath who does
not practice ad justment is no osteopath at all

The old line politicians of both
parties are holding up their hands in
righteous indignation at President
Wilson's proposed tariff commission.
If the tariff is taken out of politics
it will eliminate the principal cam
paign argument and the patriots OF
both parties may have to make their
races on individual merit. This
would indeed be sacrilege, besides
being unconstitutional, irrelevant,
incompetent and unkind. We shud-
der at the heartlessness of such a
leader, and hope congress will i'm
mediately take steps to pevent this
interference with our personal lib
erty.

Admiral Blue stated the Pacific feet
was in such condition that no power
or coalition of powers could land on
our western coast, and week or two
later Admiral Winslow startled the
country by telling us that any for
eign frst-class battleship could blow
our entire Pacific feet higher than
GilrOys kite. Being only swivel
chair warrior we don't know which
report to believe, but the wide di-
vergence of opinion between two ex-
perts on the same subject makes us
suspect an Ethiopian in the kindling
pile.

Henry Ford's peace mission having
failed, and being DESTROYS of COM
batting the preparedness idea in an
effective way, he has hit upon the
plan of running full-page advertise
ments in the leading daily newspap-
ers of the country. Ford has finally
struck the right idea OF getting his
views before the public and if he
keeps at it persistently enough the
scheme will go long way towards
quelling the lingo spirit so ardently
enunciated in columns of hog-wash
by those directly or indirectly inter
ested in the sale of munitions.

There is more Catarrh IN this section Of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For
great many years doctors pronounced II
local disease and prescribed local RENE
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be
constitutional disease, and therefore re-
qures constitutional treatment Halls

URGE KINDNESS TO ANIMALS
Many Reasons Have Been Advanced
as to Why Cruelty Should
Be Avoided.

Here are some of the reasons why
we should do all we possibly can to
protect animals, says an exchange,
l. They are, humanity speaking,
dumb and defenseless.
2. They are especially liable to
cruel treatment.
3. They are the victims of science,
sport, fashion, ignorance and preju-
dice.
4. There is so much suffering in
this world that we ought to do every
thing we can to lessen, and not to in.
crease 1t. '<a..
5. It is cowardly and contemplate
to cause living, sent t creature un.
necessary or avoidab suffering.
T. The animals do so much for US
in so many ways, ministering to our
needs, that they earn exemption for
their various races from cruelty, suf-
fering and ill treatment.
7. Selfish and callous disregard OF
their rights can only react disastrous
ly upon the moral nature of the hui
man family, and make other similar
evils appear excusable. 1t is short
step from cruelty to animals to cru
city to human beings. The parents
who train their children to be kind,
considerate and thoughtful for the ami
mails are laying up treasures which
they themselves will reap when those
children are grown up.
8. AS Jeremy Bentham, the great
jurist. wrote of the claims of animals:
The question is not-'Can they rea-
son. nor can they talk but can they

Shadow Pictures for Children.

For shadow pictures hang a sheet
in double doorway, if possible. Have
a lamp, or preferably a bull's-eye Ian
tern, set about two feet from the floor
at the back of the room used as a
stage. All kinds of interesting and
amusing shadow pictures may be CIV
en- with the help of stiff paper cut
outs, which may be pinned to hair
and costume to change the outlines.
Large paper noses, pointed chins and
boards may even be fastened to the
features with a bit of paste. Indians
with paper feathers and cardboard
tomahawks, and Puritan maids and
men with paper caps and broad
Drimmed hats, can give appropriate
historic scenes.-Modern Priscilla.
