THE trouble with you, my dear fell
low, is that you lack ambition. You
were not born with desire to become
famous. You would never think OF
turning from pleasure for the purpose
of undergoing hardships in order that
your name might live through future
ages. You have never done anything
to lift yourself above those around
you. You are one of the many who
are content to exist and to pass from
the earth without ever having done
anything worthy of note

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every Day
Brink a glass of real hot water
before breakfast to wash
out poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
WELL sleep well, look well. What a
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink glass of real hot
water with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the

bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans.
ing, sweetening and purifying the en-
tire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach. The &C.
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
plate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid ap-
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flushing
of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both
cred with constipation, bilious spells,
stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor-

to get quarter pound of limestone

He Arose to His Feet Trembling.

His glance was fixed upon a stray
ray of sunlight glinting into the room.
It seemed to illuminate dark hid
den corridor in his mind that held
long past memories.
Mayor, state representative, con-
gressman," he repeated softly. Eyes,
and before that. If they knew!"-
and then he checked himself, and
arose to his feet and paced the room
in a feverish, disturbed way.
Waldron Morrison had come to
Lisle five years previously. No one
asked where he came-no one asked,
for at that time a heated campaign
was on as to the choice of Lisle and
another town as the metropolitan cen
ter of the district. At critical juno
ture Morrison made a legal sugges-
ton that won the victory for Lisle.
Its grateful people remembered it.
Honors were thrust upon him and
riches, but--he was a lonely man.
How lonely, none knew except him
self, and the secret he MD III the most
sacred recesses of his sOrrOwful soul.
He was softened, his heart nigh melt
ed under the influence of his intense
emotions, then his lips set firm, he
drew himself up to his full majestic
height. He was iron once more. Hol-
low as were to him the promises OF
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, he resolved to re-
main stanch and active in field
where there was at least surcease
from memory.
Then Morrison became involved in
the hardest battle of his political
career. There was a split in his
party, and bitter strife with his di
rect adversary. Two days before cleo
ton, Driscoll, buoyant, optimistic
forceful as usual, burst in upon him.
You're there" he announced con
fdently. We've won! 1t will be g
landslide!" and proceeded to detail g
bargain with the disaffected ones
whereby their votes would be pumped
en- masse for his candidate.
There was something in struggle
and victory after all, morrison decld
ed, and he tried to take solace in the
high sense of usefulness and honol
that had always attended his politica
preferment. It was pleasant to real
lie that from nothing he, stranger
five years ago, had won his way tt
the highest position in the gift of thu
community. There was no one neaI
and dear to him to share the glory
but all the same he had gained thu

he illustrated h3 contention in this
way, the Ohio State Journal observes:
IF stocking makers could convince
women it was cheaper and easier to
buy stockings than to darn old ones
what a help it would be to the knit
ting industry. Darning stockings and
socks is the bugaboo of every woman.
There is a fine suggestion in all this
Darning stockings is too Insignificant
an occupation for women of high think
ing and simple living. 1t may be a
useful labor, but it is so tedious as tc

that adorns a true woman, but there
is also a mild drudgery about it that
Crawls all over the nerves and leaves
track of worry and impotence. Or
dinarily it doesn't pay. 1t is possible
if the work was brought down to the
base of ordinary wages, the good WON
an wouldn't earn more than rs cents a
day and that will buy six or seven
pairs of socks that will endure two
wearings. Besides, darned socks are
not much improvement on the un
darned kind.

The grade of dairy breeding will

she is MIXED and will continue
twice daily to establish her super-

The movement of the common
cow is within the reach of every
milking farmer. There is
really no excuse for conducting an
improbable dairy. 1t is for the
dairyman himself to determine
whether or not he will make his
dairy herd as profitable as it can
be done. If he is content to allow
the herd to drift along in the
future as in the past. then we have
no word to say. Itis to the man who
says that milking does not pay
and that he cannot make it pay,
that we are continually preaching
the gospel of a better COW, better
and more liberal feeding and better
care
Profit in dairyiug can come only
from a COW capable of handling
large quantities offeed, which COW
is kept consuming all the feed she
can eat during a milking period of
ten or eleven months. There will
always be demand for her pro-
duct at a price which will return
