ting excited over it. Didn't we all do
the same thing when we were young?
Or ut least we We're all tempted to,
and If we did not yield it was just our
good fortune and not oar superior vir-
tue. Besides, its the sort of thing II
child will do just because he is a
child. When he gets to be as old as
we are he won't be tempted to go down
to the luke. Remember that boys will
be boys. Give him chance to grow
up and he'll be all right.
This did not sound so heroic, but it
did seem reasonable. After all, day
out of school breathing the fresh air
and taking good exercise won't hurt
any boy. He could make up his school
work just as easily as though he had
been absent on account of sickness,
and this was better than sickness.
Thousands Of boys play "hooky" and
some of them even become teachers or
ministers. Let him alone, and he'll
grow up all right.
Young Blank, whose children had
not yet reached the age of truancy,
was interested, but bewildered. He
had expected to lay up u supply Of
practical wisdom to use in possible
emergencies in the future. But he did
not find the conflicting counsel very
helpful. Evildoers ought to be pun
ishcd, of course: otherwise there
would be no premium on doing the
right thing. But If II child does what
we consider "evil" without malice,
should he still be made to suffer-es-
pecially when he is very likely to out
grow the instincts that lead to such
acts?
The trouble with Saffron was that
he had not taken the pains to think

Peanuts Manv Uses.

The peanut Is much more useful
product than most people think. BE.
sides its use in the roasted form, there
are other innumerable uses.
The nuts contain from ~ to 80 per
cent of n nearly colorless, bland, fixed
oil, resembling that of the olive and
used for similar purposes.
More than % years ago there was
begun In Virginia the manufacture of
peanut flour, of which n particularly
palatable biscuit is made. North Caro-
lima has long made pastry of pounded
peanuts. 1t is also eaten for dessert,
and Is roasted as substitute for cof-
fee.

A vein of blue quartz milling ore
forty-five feet thick has been struck
in the Columbus mine at Durango.
Two Cripple Creek miners, Pleas
ants and Taylor, have taken a lease
on group of mines in Gilpin county.
The heavy shipments from the Ar
gentine district still continue and
numerous new leases are being
sought at the Santiago mine.
Bruce & Co., OF Georgetown received
$517 for ten tons of concentrates
from which the high percentage of
gold had been previously removed.
Biologists are giving considerable
attention to Leadville's latest extern
sion of the gold belt, known as the
Lackawanna and Half Moon gulches.
In Silverton district an additional
flotation unit is being installed at the
Iowa-Tiger mill, which will increase
the flotation capacity fully 80 per
cent.
Breckenridge sends word that about
$4,000 worth of placer gold in
bricks" and "retorts" was shipped
from Breckenridge to the United
States mint at Denver.
At Cripple Creek the weekly pro-
duction from the main shaft of the
Modoc Mining & Milling Company, in
the saddle between Battle mountain
and Bull hill, is holding at three cars
or about 100 tons weekly.

That the price of tungsten will ad-
vance from SIS to at least s75 is the
prediction of Fred Carroll and M. b.
Tomblin, commissioners of the Colo
RADIO bureau of mines. Their predic-
ton is based on the fact that Eng
land, France and Russia are in the
market for the ore in large quanti

cause 1t was dlsapproved-the man had
the assurance that he was in the

temporaries.
The trouble with Brown was that,
whereas he had learned enough to
know that the misdeeds of children
are In most cases the outward express
sions of perfectly healthy instincts,
and not evidences of "wickedness,"
and whereas he knew that most chill
dren will outgrow these misdeeds, he
had no idea that there was anything
to be done about it except to permit
the fateS to finish the story.
1t is well for all of us to know
what Brown knew. But that is not
enough. Children will outgrow their
childish impulses, but what will take
their place? One of the ways in
which the grown-ups acquired that
feeling of righteousness in the pres
ence of childish misdeeds was through
the impressive indignation of their
parents on the occasions of their own
childish errors. 1t may be wrong for
Saffron to put so much stress upon
the wickedness of truancy, but 1t is
just as wrong to evade the issue and

WHY WOMEN Z

"Why do women write such lettersf ="
In answer we say that never have We
published fictitious letter or name.
Never, knowingly, have we published
an untruthful letter, or one without the
full and written consent Of the woman
who wrote it. ,-.-....-.,,--.--
The reason that thousands Of women
from all parts of the country write such
grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink
ham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Pink

health and happiness into their lives,
