ing from superfluous fat. If you want

If there is anything more pathetic
than the man who never had home
or friends or money, it is the man
who had home and did not appfe-
ciate it; friends and couldn't keep
them; money and lost it, says Thrift.
The world is full of derelicts, and
eyery town has its has beens' who
once "were''-had and could not keep.
1t is a sad commentary on human life
that men must work and sacrihce
and save; practise thrift for years !;
accumulate a competence, and Tor
one reason or another lose 1t all, and
begin over again worse by far, ex-
cept for the experience.
Men who were once citizens OF
affluence will be found in the bread
line, sleeping in the parks at night,
living on relatives. i'll the poorhouse,
selling shoestrings on Broadway,
when by better management they
might have been in comfortable cir
cum stances.
Why Men Lose Their Money.
There are two principal reasons
why men lose what they have ac-
quired.
First, by being an "easy mark, .
lending to friends and relatives and
unable to say mo" to a request for
help or an alluring proposition. Sec
ond, the desire to make money fast
not by gambling, but by trying to get
a large income from small princi-
pal. The stories Of men who have
acquired considerable money. and In
the desire to make it grow fast have
lost it all would fill book, and no
caution is more opportune than this:
Hold fast to what you have.
A few basic and common-sense
rules will, if persistently followed,
save those who heed them many a
pang of regret.
First: Do not lend to your friends.
Friendship loans are bad; it is deli
cate matter to ask for your money.
Second: Never endorse a note for
anybody. More losses and business
disasters have come about through
lending ones name to promissory
notes than perhaps any single cause.
If you want to help friend and have
the money to spare better make a gift
outright and forget 1t than try to de-

Dentists and tho public.


Des Moines Tribune: Those VINO
hate to pay dentists bills and VINO
like to crack Jokes on the high cost
of tooth tinkertng should pay atten-
ton to what the president OF tne
Iowa State Dental society told the
dentists of Iowa at the opening OF
their annual convention in Des
MONIES recently.
When he said that the greatest con-
tribution of dentistry to humanity IS
preventive dentistry, and outlined
course in oral hygiene in the pubic
schools, DR.. Hildebrand was really.
talking about the cutting down OF
fees to the profession.
For every dollar that dentist re-
ceives for professional work in the
public schools, dentists as class
will lose $40.
If the dentists wanted to make
money, they should mislead the pub
lie. They should recommend acid
toothwashes, which soften the en-
amel and hasten decay. They should
keep the people in the dark as to the
care Of teeth in the home. Every
toothache is good for So. So multiply
the aches.
But this is not the policy Of the
dentists of Iowa, nor Is it the policy
of the medical men. Members OF the
medical profession are leaders in all
public health enterprises, although
municipal sanitation and knowledge
of sanitary laws cut down the doctors
receipts. Every discovery that Will
prevent sickness is given to the pub
lie, without the reservation of patent
rights, and this is done to the fnan-
cial detriment of the individual dis
coverer and to physicians as a class.
Dentists and physicians are the OBJ
jects OF a great deal of unjust crit
icism and suspicion. II all business
were run on as high plane, and with
as much regard to the welfare of the
community, the world would be near
er the millennium than it is.

Your Boy.


Leslies': This is a good time to
think of your boy. If you do not look
after him In the right way, someone
viii do it in the wrong way. Begin
now!
Teach your boy to follow in the
footsteps of his father. to respect the
law, to obey his parents, to regard the
rights OF all men, to honor virtue, to
respect womanhood and to depend
upon no one but himself for his ad-
vancemenl.
Teach him that the golden rule OF
life will be found in the ten COM
mandments. They are short. They
have survived the ages. They stand
today unchanged and unchallenged.
They comprise the first great writ
ten law given by God to man. Be
fore these few commandments all
man-made laws fade into insignific-
ance. Teach them to your boy.
There is danger ahead if you do not.
The universal drift of mankind is
toward decadence. Heredity pays its
premium and also exacts its dis
count. The son Of good father and
an affectionate mother, brought up in
an atmosphere of parental regard,
never will disgrace the family.
The boys Of today are to be the
men of tomorrow The destinies of
the American people are to be in the
hands Of their sons. If the boys are
taught respect for the law, both
human and divine, obedience to
authority, manly independence and
the fear Of God, this great nation will
be noble monument to mans ca
pacity for self government and self
control at time when all the world

Saving DAYLIGHT"

Standard time in the United States has been
in use for about a generation and generally has
been satisfactory. In order to conserve its re-
sources Germany has adopted the ''save the
daylight" policy by opening and closing the
business day an hour earlier, and Holland has
followed It is said that England, where the
subject has been under discussion for three or
four years, may adopt the system. 1t has been
suggested for the United States. Possibly we
may live to see return to conditions similar
to those that existed before the days of & stand
ard" time, when it common to have three
kinds of time in given community railroad

that accompanied such lack of system Per
haps much can be said in favor of the Saving
daylight plan, but all that can be said on the
subject is not favorable to the innovation.
The president might have avoided some
blunders in his Mexican policy if he had con
sented to listen to the advice of persons ia
miliar with the conditions in that country, in
stead of assuming that all of them had some
personal ak to grind.

Hon. Andrew ]. Redmond, Repubh-

June S, was born in Philadelphia,
August /, 1864. When he was still
very young he came with his parents
to De Kalb, Illinois, where he was
brought up on a farm. He attended
public school, and later a school for
teachers at Oregon, Illinois. After
completing his course there, he studied
at the Northwestern Illinois Normal
School.
He began his career as a teacher,
but being ambitious to practice law,
he came to Chicago in 1889 and en-
tered the Northwestern University
Law School, from which he graduated
with the degree of LII. B. Since that
time he has continued actively in the
practice of his profession for a long
time occupying an extensive suite of
law Offices on the 18th floor of the
Otis Building; in 1895 Mr.. Redmond
was happily united in marriage to

PAYS HIGH TRIBUTE.
A Contribution from a Chicago Friend
Who Knows the Judge.
Judge William Fenimore Cooper.

Judge William Fenimore cooper.
One of the best known men in the
state of Illinois is Judge William Fen
imore Cooper of the superior court of
Cook county. Judge Cooper is man
of sterling qualities, unexcelled in ju-
dicial ability, and possesses the most
vigorous personality of any man be-
fore the American public today.
In speaking of this man it must be
borne in mind that he is possessed of
a peculiar rugged honesty and SINGER
ity of purpose that characterizes his
legal opinions and is easily discernable
in all of his court decisions. Judge
Cooper has lived in Illinois more than
twenty five years, during which period
he has devoted much of his time, ener-
gy and money in defense of the polit-
ical and civil rights of the common peo-
pie. He has stood like a stone wall
between them and unwarranted as
saults upon their individual interest
by persons and corporations of power
full influences. He has proven, in
more instances than one, that he is an
uncompromising friend and a staunch
protector of the weaker and less for
tunate of men, regardless of national
ity or religious inclinations.
There are many instances in the ju-
dicial career of all good men in which
the layman fails to understand the full
meaning Of some of their decisions.
They fail to recognize the fact that ju-
dicial decisions are based upon facts
controlled by certain well defined and
fixed legal principles which no Judge
can well afford to ignore.
1t is particularly gratifying to know
that Judge Cooper is too honorable and
too fair to permit his decisions to be
influenced by anything other than the
law and the facts, a most admirable
qualification for any good Judge to pos
sess.
During the past six years that Judge
Cooper has occupied the bench he has
made an enviable record for himself,
which, without any other considera-
tions, make him by far the strongest
candidate for reelection on the Demo.
