A WAY TO QUIT WORRYING

That worry Is curse no intelligent
observer of life will deny. 1t has
hindered millions from progressing,
and never benefited a soul. It occu-
pies the mind with that which is in
furious and thus keeps out the things
that might benefit and bless. 1t is an
active and real manifestation of the
fable of the man who placed the froz-
en- asp in his bosom. AS he warmed
1t back to life the reptile turned and
fatally bit its benefactor.
Are you cursed by the demon OF
worry? Has 1t got death grip on
your throat? Do you want to be
freed from its throttling assaults? II
SO, get hobby, the more mentally
occupying the better, and ride II
earnestly, sincerely, furiously. Let
It be what it will, 1t will far more
than pay in the end, when you find
yourself free from the nightmare OF
worry that has SO relentlessly ridden
you for SO long.

kets, Indian blankets, pipes, domestic

Hon. John P. st. John, former Gov
ernor of Kansas and at one time can
didate for President of the United
States, whose services have recently
been secured by the Flying Squadron
of Kansas, will be in Liberal Sunday,
May z. He will speak in the Chris
tian church at $500 O'Clock p. m.
Howard e. Kershner of Kansas,
former member and manager of the
Flying Squadron of New England,
will speak at the same meeting.
The occasion of the coming Of
these two prominent men is the visit
Of the Flying Squadron of Kansas to
our city on the above mentioned date,
representing the get-together move
ment for the national prohibition OF
the liquor traffic.
The Flying Squadron will also
have a meeting at Lone Star Friends
church on Monday night, May 8, at 8
o'clock, and at Rose Valley Friends
church on Tuesday, May 8, at 8 p. m.
Mr.. st. John is known as the
Grand Old Man" of the prohibition
reform, having been active in the
movement for more than half a CEN
fury. He has been spoken of edi-
torially as 1.-THE greatest living bene-
factor of humanity" Though we'll
beyond four score years he Is still
vigorous and very active in the fight
for better government. 1t is said that
no man has ever done as much for
Kansas as Governor st. John and in
turn no hero was ever honored and
loved by the people of his state more
than he. His early life was replete
with villification, abuse and sacrifice,
as he stood sometimes almost alone
for great principle, but he has lived
as but few great reformers are privil-
eyed to- do, to see the reform for
which he staked his all, triumph in
the minds of the American people un-
til even his former enemies delight
to do him honor. To hear him, So
great and good man, and one whose
life has been so rich with sacrifice
and service to his fellowmen, is in
deed rare opportunity and will
probably never come again.
Howard e. Kershner of Kansas,
"a young man of power, his message,
to the Nation stirs the SOUL" A native
of the Sunfiower States, he comes to,
be recognized as one of the nations
ablest and most pwoerful exponentsi
Of the prohibition movement. His;
great address, Achieving the Pur-
pose of Government" was delivered
more than one hundred times in the
larger cities of the east last fall and
summer. You should not miss hear
ing him. These men, though separat-
ed in years by two generations, fight
ing shoulder to shoulder, from pow
erful unit in the great army that
fights for the humiliation of rum,
for better government, for improved
social conditions and in short for a.
tomorrow better than today.
