When CriticlzIng.

Many an unpleasant thing needs 70
be done in a pleasant way. Teachers
and parents, and people in business
life who are responsible for the WORK
of others must from time to ume
sneak in criticism or point out how an
Improvement can be made in the way
of doing things. Such a word OF
criticism, or correction, or OF sug'
gested Improvement can have the Ell
feet of being either shove down or
a lift up. 1t can come to the one ad
dressed as slap in the face, or as
hearty grip of the hand. The WORD
can be spoken with a disarming smile
of reinsurance, or a hard and discour'
aging look of condemnation. And the
heartening, lifting, smiling word of ad'
monition or suggestion brings hun
dred per cent better response than
the other sort; 1t gets the very results
that we are after, while the word that
antagonizes is liable to defeat the
whole thing. Love is a paying prop
osition: unloye is dead loss.

Z How Most Of Public Pests Secure
Immunity From Merited
Retribution.

Once upon a time there was dog
whose delight 1t was to bark at the
moon. He knew nothing discreditable
concerning the moon, but felt that
he just naturally must show his SUI
periority. So he yapped and yowled
and called it names and made faces at
1t by the hour. All this caused the
other animals great annoyance, and at
last they held an Indignation meeting.
Something must be done!" was the
general opinion. Let US do it by TAX
ing this measly nuisance out to some
secluded spot and abating him in a
thorough and permanent manner"
STAY" spoke the hog. Let US not
act hastily. / travelled widely in my
younger days, appearing in the dime
museums all over the land as the just
ly celebrated educated pig. | have
looked this matter up. 1t is true that
the varmint under discussion is an
ahomination. Still, he is one Of the
pests to whom all the rest of creation
appear to feel compelled to give ear
and deference-men call them reform
ers or agitators, or statesmen, as the
case may be. AS l understand 1t,
there is no way of stopping his bark
ing at the moon except by paying him
to quit. And that, alas! would not give
us permanent relief, for as soon as
he had spent our money he would find
something else to howl about, and we
should have to buy him all over
again"
Moral-From this we should learn
that the average pest secures immu-
nifty from retribution because he has
US bluffed.-Judge.

Breaking 1t Gently.

Speaking of breaking the news gent
ly, the story is told of well shooter
who operated in the oil fields in south
west Kansas ten or twelve years ago.
While he was going from one well to
another with a load of nitroglycerin
the wagon fell over the side OF a
bridge and landed on the rocks fifteen
feet below. The well shooter, his
wagon and his team were Immediately
distributed over the surrounding coun-
try.
A friend, who happened to see the
accident, felt that he ought to notify
the unfortunate well shooters wife,
but he wanted to break the news as
gently as possible. He called her up
over the telephone and said:
MY opinion is, Mrs. Loop, that your
husband won't get back home in time
for supper. and | reckon you might
as we'll not wait for him.
Which way did he go?" asked Mrs.
Loop.

Testing Quality Of Ale.

At one time Shakespeares father is
said to have served as an ale conner
or tester. In the olden days the ale
conner tested only for sugar, and o
musty land doubtless ale-soaked)

custom of these testers to enter a
tavern, call for pot by accident

with due dignity from his seat, all
was well; but woe to the tapster whose
ale glued the leather breeches of the
tester to the bench-there was sugar
in his ale which brings us, by the
well-worn route of anecdote, nearer
home.

The Beast of Burden.

Professor Ward, social secretary OF
the Methodist Episcopal church, in an
address in Indianapolis on THE De-
mand for LEISURE said:
Working hours should be judged
from the standpoint of fatigue. Sta
tistics prove that the highest mortal
ity rate III invariably in the indus
trial sections because the rest of these
workers is not commensurate with
their duties. A shorter workday is an
economic benefit to all. 1t means more
men, more machinery, higher stand
ards, increased demands, more produc-
tion and the expansion of industries.
THE family life becomes a closed
book when the man returns home dead
tired from his days work. When ne
reaches that stage he loses identity
as man, husband and father and be-
comes the beast of burden"

What Is a sarmeold Feast9

The model of Bagdad was the older
Persian capital of Ctesiphon, situated
only a few miles away. Doubtless also
most of the builders employed by
Mansur were Persians. for his desert
Arabs were not versed in that art.
Persian influence was conspicuous
from the first, and the chief advisers
of the Abhasids were all Persians I'M
til the time of Harun-al Rashid. They
belonged to the famous Barmacid lam
lily whose power began with khalid,
Mansur's yizier, and ended with jar
far, who used TO accompany his mas
ter Harun in his incognito excursions
through the streets of his capital IN
search of adventures that are familiar
TO every child Despite his romantic
picturesqueness, Harun was a weak
ling. and like many another oriental
tyrant his last days We're marked
with shocking cruelties, one OF the
worst of which was the slaughter OF
the whole Barmecid family at feast
that has become proverbs with us

CHECK REIN WAS TOO TIGHT
Witness Would Have Preferred to BE

Court Testimony.

An aged negro porter, nearly eighty
years old. was arrested on some trivial
charge, for which he was later dis
charged. 1t proved, during the trial,
that he had never seen the inside OF
a court before, and the hustle of events
greatly dazed and embarrassed him.
AS he stood up when his name was
called the clerk sang forth:
do you solemnly swear that the
testimony you shall give in this case
shall be the truth, tn whole truth,
and nothing but the truth, SO help you

And the negro started back gasp

bench.

GERMS INJURIOUS TO HEALTH
Deeayed Teeth One of the Most Po-
tentiai Causes of Disease In
the Human Family.

A hole In a tooth is due to decay.
The animal matter of which the tooth
Is composed is decaying. In that mass
OF decaying matter the germs OF all
kinds of disease find hotbed OF fer
tile soil in which to thrive and multi
ply and grow strong.
Swarms of them 60 down into the
stomach with every swallow, some OF
them being destroyed by the action Of
the stomach juices, but some passing
into the blood and being distributed
to organs of the body, where they
lodge and cause tuberculosis, pneu-
monia, sore throat. appendicitis and
many other diseases.
In fact, it is difficult to pick out a
single disease to which we are sub
ject that may not enter the body by
way of decayed tooth. Decayed and
broken-down teeth prevent proper
mastication of the food, and this in
turn causes malnutrition or poor nour-
ishment of the body, which means
physical degeneracy, and physical de-
generacy means mental and moral de-
generacy.

people where the liquor business

financial harm than good. The dry
