Remedy for Hieeouuhs.

Several cures for hiccoughs will be
welcomed by many mothers. Have the
patient suck lump of sugar having a
few drops of vinegar on it. Drink a
glass of water upside down. That
doesn't mean to stand on your head,
though it certainly sounds rather like
it. Hold the glass of water in one
hand, lean forward and bend over the
glass, fitting it away from you, and
drink from the further edge.
Another remedy is to stand facing
the person hiccoughing, grasp her
hands firmly, look steadily at her and
get her to breathe evenly, keeping time
with you. Or have her hold her breath
and count 60. Or take nine gulps Of
cold water very slowly.

BY a Cross Old Person.

One is asked to tolerate good-hum-
oredly and even to admire young high
spirits as all so natural and simple.
1t may be natural and It may be SIM
pie, especially as simple is sometimes
a synonym for fool.
But where is the consolation in a
man being natural if he is naturally
offensive?
Why should we like a woman the
more for being simple If she is simply
vulgar?
This apology for the casting off of
good manners does not appeal 10 us
at all.

MORE THAN MONEY IN LIFE
Those Who Look Upon Riches as the
Source of All Happiness Have
the Wrong Idea.

Dollars to dimes it is money, easy
money, the easier the better.
What do. we want money for?
Merely to spend. There are some, OF
course, who want it just for the sake
of having it, but the average individual
wants 1t to spend. He thinks he wants
to live high and fine and be sporty.
What has been the fate of the aver
age young man who has had all the
money he wanted to spend?
full pocket generally leaGs to a
pace that kills.
Only those who have earned their
money know how to care for it, and
to use it to the best advantage.
This is the best world there is for
human beings. There may be better
ones for spirits or other forms of life,
but none better for spirits encountered
with the mortal coil.
This world may have been made for
man, or he may be nothing more than
one of the incidents of creation. There
is much that leads to the latter con-
ciusiOn. None of the various phenom-
ena of nature show him the least re-
spect. The lightnings smite him,
storms regard him not at all, seasons
come and go just as If he were not
here, and he is not consulted about
anything. If he cannot get enough to
eat he must starve, and If he doesn't
provide against cold he will freeze

POsterIty and Good Roads

one OF the principal stock argu-
ments OF those who oppose the bond
issue for good roads is that II is plac-
Ing n debt on posterlty. II these good
people would stop and reflect we feel
confident that they would readily re-
cognize the fact that one OF the great
est blessings than can be handed down
to their children is benehcient insti-
tutions that will make easier and
smoother their path in battling with
the world. Not the financial world.
mark you, but the world unrestricted
And surely II must be admitted that
good roads go a long way towards
contributing to this desired end.
Our children will never curse us for
leaving them as a legacy a Just and
honest debt from which bountiful
return can be had. Furthermore, n
parents would look more to the edu-
cation OF the child and the rich heri-
tage OF good and untarnished name
than leaving a full Golfer that poster
ity would succeed far better. An hon
est debt is one OF the greatest spurs
known to the furtherance OF we'll di-
rected ambition. The poor boy who
has the proper blood coursine
through his veins usually makes a
better citizen and leaves more 10 the
world than the one raised in the Lar
OF luxury and who has never known
want. No man would regret leaving
behind a mortgage on the old home
place. for worthy purpose. or an un-
paid note that had been created for
the beneft of his child Ito would die
knowing that the child would take his
greatest pleasure in the liquidation OF
that obligation. The same principle
applies to the question Of bonds for
better highways. The children will
reap a greater ben ne from good roads
than the parents There is neither
good horse-sense nor reason In such
argument Let us not try to fool our
neighbors by such argument

New Year and Bank Books

Efficiency is the watchword in the
world OF industry and trade. And eff
cheney is but another name for thrift
thrift in the conduct, the expenditures,
the future plans of the factory, the
railroad line or the store. Neverthe-
less, 1t is a strange contradiction that
with all this thrift in the organized
American commercial life, the Amer
'can people, taken as individuals, are
probably the greatest spendthrifts and
the least provident OF all nations
The growth OF this tendency is the
really alarming feature OF the situa-
tion.
The number OF persons who live up
10 all their income, whether they be
engaged in business, work for salaries
or depend solely on a daily wage, Is
legion. Those who live beyond their
means are anything but rare. Who
cannot count men of their own ac-
quaihtance, we'll beyond middle life,

years still paying rent for the homes

earning salaries upon which their
grandfathers supported large families
and acquired a substance, find them
selves on each pay day broke" or al
least badly bent" TO use a slang
phrase? Those who consistently save
are far In the minority.
That the habit Of spending all one
earns very often leads TO strsitened
circumstances, dependence on others
and even poverty Is well enough
known. That the man who saves
nothing Is deliberately impairing his
chance for success IN life is just as
true, On the other hand, the young

bond issue because II will not build
road by his farm or into his DWELL

him to consider whether It is not bet
ter to drive through one mile OF mud
to the main road than to have to
drive through ten more after reaching
the main road. Unless he is con
firmed crouch he will forget the one
mile of mud in the recollection OF the
JOY OF driving over the ten miles of
good road
