LYING TO ONES SELF.

Lying to others is much less seri-
Gus than lying to yourself.
Lying to ones self is always de
formation of the truth, disavowal of
life's exigencies," Iolstoi wrote In
his private library. which has just
been published.
That there are persons who do lie
to themselves has not often been
suggested. Yet it Is habit of mind
with some, and as such it works con-
siderable havoc In many household.
Such people evade all facts which are
disagreeable, all truth which does not
promote their own ends. They do
this quite unwittingly. They belong
to the non-critical class. This class
is recognized by scientific men.
The Medical Journal refers to one
variety of them as the type of indi-
yidual prone to uncritical acceptance
Of the environment, and in conse-
quence easily influenced, in word,
over-suggestibIe. Such persons later
in life become prone to imaginary all
ments; for these they are apt to
seek relief at the hands of charlatans.

How can I estimate the volume and
weight OF hay in stack, was the Ques-
ton received last week at Iowa State
college from farmer who wanted to
estimate his hay for sale purposes.
Here's the answer: The volume OF the
hay stack equals 81 x the overthrow
(the distance from the ground on one
side over the top to the ground on the
other side) x the width X the length.
In test on SIS stacks standing less
than 80 days it was found that there
was 1886 Gu. it. to the ton. In seven
stacks standing IA to 155 days only
5149 GU. #. were required for ton.
Alfalfa hay is estimated in the same
way as clover or timothy.

The Des Moines Tribune suggests
that Colonel Hepburn, now that he

and adds that no man living could do
it so interestingly. And there are

beginning to see that very few men
living were SO competent to return
valuable service to their state and

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call n, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put cup Of boiling water upon
it, pour through sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
cold or the grip. It is Inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

sHowFLAkES AT TWILIGHT.
An hour ago the silent sky
Was softly overcast
A dimness crept into my room
From out the heavens vast.
The world seemed smaller than be-
fore,
A sober grayness fell
Upon the road along the Mill
And in the poplar dell.
Then dropped the curtain OF the dusk
And with it f1uttered down
The snowfakes. tiny and serene,
Hiding the distant town.
Gently against my window pane
They tap; playful tinkle
Comes to my ear as on the porch
And still they gayiy sprinkle.
/ know they are the blossoms wee
OF winter hard and drear,
Yet somehow even's waited fakes
Sooth me and calm and cheer.
