REFLECTIONS OF A
 BACHELOR GIRL

(By Helen Rowland in F.-I.)
 A girl always knows intuitively when man wants to marry her, the difficult thing is to prove it to her.
 z The woman who goes insane fv1 love, and the man who goes to the devil for woman, usually haven't far to go.
 A mans life is complete tragedy so long as he has courage enough left to make love to another woman; no woman's hope completely dead so long as she has vanity enough left to powder her nose.
 Whats the use of being philoso- phical? If woman is jealous of her husband everybody says: Poor thing. She knows him!'' If she isn't everybody says, Poor thing! She trusts him!" So what can a poor wife do?
 Nowadays half the people live in motor cars-and wonder why the other half are allowed to livel
 There are only three things worth while that man can give any wo- man in this world-love, support or friendship; yet, so many of them seem to think that she ought to feel r ghly thrilled and flatteted when they offer her a casual kiss and a cheap compliment.
 Filtration is the relish of life, love the wine, marriage the roast and divorce the black coffee which "settles" everything.
 The price of money is heavy in- deed! The man who works for it earns it by the sweat of the brow but the man who marries for it earns it by the sweat of the heart and the shrinkage of the soul.
 When a man says, "I'm sorrs-" .le merely means that he's tired Dearie. No man ever repents SC long as the game or the woman is interesting.

Have Paired for Prohibition.

Each rum-controlled party has lost
one OF the men II needs so much 10

bauched existence.
The relative strength Of these parties
has not been changed by Hanly and
Landrith pairing for Prohibition.
But their votes will no longer be
cast with the license parties
Their votes will count two for Pro-
hibition.
Let million clean Republicans who
hate the liquor traffic and a million
clean Democrats who also hate the
liquor traffic Pair for Prohibition.
Even then the relative strength of
the rum-soaked timbers OF the old
parties will not he changed.
But the hideousness of the two old
wrecks no longer hidden by a multi
tude OF good men, will cause all other
decent men to fly, as though IL we're
for their lives.
And their votes, millions OF them.
will count for Prohibition.
Why should ]. Frank Hanly and
Ira Landrith have remained in oppo-
site political parties and cast their
votes against each other for rum?
They could not do that and con
vince men that they are sincere in
their claim that the liquor traffic Is
the most gigantic evil in America to-

Here is this Republican who hates
the liquor traffic and that Democrat.
his neighbor, who hates the liquor
traffic also: the one proposes to vote
FOR his good man candidate" and the
other proposes TO vote for his good

Neither candidate will be helped by
this opposition.
But these two voters will be paired
for rum.
Rum will get two votes.
That is good reason why the rum
mics are bipartisan.
Hanlv and Landrith are paired for
Prohibition.
Prohibition gets two votes.
That is good reason for sir Gle

There will be two less votes for
Prohibition
And there will be two more votes
for rum.
Prohibitionists can never be elected
