ANGER.

Ever stop to consider how foolish is anger
how useless?
Not only this, but anger weakcns and un-
nerves and renders us unfit for battle, be that bat
tie of the brain or the Drawn.
Ever watch two professionals spar? See the
~clean-cut exhibition of skill and science as each
receives and returns and returns blow for blow.
But wait till one becomes angry. Gone is all that
fine science and in it's place is the brute lust for
battle. Now see how terribly unprepared is the
angry man to stand before his smiling adverse
ry. Passion driven and furious, he is ar easy
mark, and his defeat is fore told from the begin
ming. Again and again the scientific blows of his
cool and quiet opponent beat down his guard and
are driven to vital parts of his person, and blind
with passion he is powerless for defense, to say
nothing of offense.
And as in the sparring ring, so in the larger
circles Of life. The man who can with a smiling
face and stout heart meet the blows of life is
armed for the fray and victory is his. The shafts
of opposition, of envy, of malice, of hatred, roll
from him as the water from the back of a duck.
He is impervious to attack. He is unconquerable.
Does your temper give way under the annoy
ances and vexations of life? Then stop-back
a fresh grip on yourself.
Remember, anger never conquers any but the
heart that harbors it.

THE ONLY RESPECTABLE DISEASE is
OLD AGE"

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley speaking in Kansas City
recently said that old age is the only respectable
disease to die Of.
Hardly one hundred of you here tonight will
die of old age" said Doctor Wiley, "the only re-
spectacle disease of which man may die. The
rest of you are going to die before your time.
Il mean it. You men are burning yourselves
up with tobacco and with business cares. You
women are trying to shorten your lives by drink
ing tea, dancing the tango and playing bridge.
Disease that could be avoided are going to
carry you off. You wait for an ache before you
go to the dentist. You ought to go twice a year.
The dentist will find a cavity or he will prevent
one from coming. Every tooth is worth $1,000.
'The average life is IA years. Why, a man is
Just getting into his best years then. Just get
ting where he can pay back a little interest on the
investment he has cost. 1t is not unreasonable
that the average life should be advanced to SO
years."-The Progressive Farmer.

WAR MAY PUT HAIRDRESSING
ON THE FRITZ,

New York, Nov. 1.-(By Union As.
ISOLATED Press.)-If there is anything
wrong with anything whatever, put il
on the war, for after the latest de-
velopment one should not be surprised
If wal caused the moon to rise higher
in the heavens than ever before. "Hor-
rors," is all that the ladies can say to
the latest piece of news. There's a
shortage in hairpins and this war
threatens to put the art of hair-dress-
ing on the fritz. >Hairpins have finally
come in for their full share of atten-
ton. Having a long list of antique
jokes about being a woman's prime
solution to all difficulties to their cred
it, the heretofore unassuming little
bits Of crinkled- in-the-middle wires
have at last come to the front and de-
mand a dignifed recognition. All
couture builders have announced that
hereafter when women want their hair
dressed they must bring along their
w pins or there will be an elaborate
arrangement Of their browning glory.
And the explanation for this worse
than terrifying possibility IL that the
countries which have always supplied
the pins for milady's couture are keep
ing all of their wire at home for am
munition.

PREDICTIONS FOR FUTURE.

Rome, Oct. 31.-(Cor., Associated
Press.)--That the war viii result in
a rebirth of architectural art, in vas
ter and more beautiful buildings than
the Coliseum Or the American sky
scraper, is the opinion Of Dr.. Jesse
Benedict Carter, director Of the Amer
lean Academy in Rome, who has just
been appointed by the French gov
ernor to deliver the Harvard series Of
lectures this winter before twelve of
its provincial universities.
DR.. Carter expressed this opinion in
the Roman Forum during an interview
with The Associated Press, just after
his first annual lecture there, a lee
ture which was attended by Ambassa-
dor Thomas Nelson Page and other
Americans. Said Dr.. Carter: can
art renaissance has two basic require
ments, first, a crisis, then the contrib
uted wealth of a few people. This war
has furnished both. Let me explain
the second requirement. While this
has impoverished a majority of
the people of Europe, it has enriched
a lot of contractors and munition
manufacturers who after the war will
have more money than they can spend.
Such men have ever become art pa
irons, stimulators, rather than buyers
of old art treasures, as happens in
countries where there are a great
many m%illionaires.
"This wal will surely bring a heal
thy reaction of art. 1t means the
death of cubism and other f%ollies. It
will bring the intense suffering and
the sympathy therefor which results

THREE KINDS OF MEN.

EVERYBODY is familiar with the type OF person
who is ali things to all men. He meekly agrees u
any opinion you assert, and just as readily agrees
with the next man he encounters, even though tne
next mans opinion is exactly the contrary OF
yours. On election days and on all other occa-
sicns he is subject to the last man who sees him.
He is so over-anxious to please everybody that ne
makes himself a nonentity. And there are many
of his kind.
There is another class, including many OF the
same people, who are all things at all times. They
are always heartily in favor Of what exists. In
time of peace they are strongly in favor OF peace.
In time of war they are belligerent and bloodthirs-
ty. They favor trusts in those commodities which
are trustified and are opposed to trusts which
have not been formed. They support municipal
ownership and private ownership of public utili-
ties in cities which follow that policy. They are
against the labor unions that are not strong, and
they oppose the closed shop until it is closed.
They are>never for the under-dog unless it gets
on top. Such people, hocking along the lines of
least resistance, are little brothers to the sheep
and are regularly sheared by those whose self
confidence allows them to move along lines of
somewha greater resistance.
A third class is that of the chronic non-con-
formist. He is strong in his beliefs and vigorous
in uttering them. He thinks that he thinks ire
mendously. But intellectually he is of the same
order as the other two. His views are fixed en-
tirely by forces outside himself. He simply op-
poses whatever is generally accepted. If he is
for the Democrats when they are out of power,
he is against them when they get in. The whole
secret Of his seemingly enigmatical attitudes lies
in his being against anything that exists. To be
fully and consistently up to his type, he must be
against the government, against religion, against
capital, against vaccination, against everything
that is thoroughly established. Single-handed,
he sets up his opinion against that of the world,
and thinks he is at least getting the best of the
argument. Thus he impresses himself deeply
with his own Importance and sometimes impress
es others.
In none of these three classes is there any
fundamental thinking. To things as they are or
said to be, the first two simply assent, and the.
third simply dissents.
