Why is it certain men

Generally it will be found
that those who have accunu-

our prosperity. And SO we
offer you a plan which will
be an incentive to you to

If you have $50 you can
buy a 500 bond. We will
lend you the balance and
keep your bond as security
for the loan until it is paid,
which may be done in any
sum and at any time con-

your goal, and when it is
reached another bond can be

U. S. "the One Peaceful Spot. "

The one bright. peaceful spot under
the sun this day is America, and il is so
because the President pleads guilty to
the charge of using words rather than
shot and shell and shrapnel If Amer
lea is to lead the world toward that now
seemingly far-distant goal, where brute
force shall be bound by wisdom and
conscience in letters which it can never
again break, then these are the hours
for mere words"
The Vice President made a caustic ref
erence to the refusal of Theodore Roose-
Feit TO accept the progressive presidential
denomination. declaring the former Pres
ident vas leader who promised he
would lead at Armageddon, but who. alas,
deserted at Bull Moose Run" and now
had turned his back on the Holy Land. )"
he predicted that the issues put forward
by the republicans would not be accepted
as such by the people in the present abb
normal year. adding, You cannot inter-
est a bridegroom in the tariff nor a
widow in the coffin trust"
The ail-lmportant question of what the
republicans would have done regarding
the Lusitania, Mexico and Belgium, sa id
the Vice President, had not been an
swered by the party's presidential candi-
date, Mr. Hughes. He added that firm
Americanism" should be categorically de-
fined by those who had coined it, and de-
clared the people would not be willing to-
discharge one doctor because he was
criticised by another who offered no
remedy.

girls of the present generation less

Ger periods?
This question is one often asked
and much discussed. 1t has been the
theme for innumerabIe lectures be-
, fore schools and clubs, and the con-
sideratiOn of many young man
contemplating matTimony. 1t is de-
cidedly fact that there are a greater
proportion of bachelors, and conse-
quently bachelor" girls, too, today
than there were in the pasta condi-
ton which seems to answer the qUes-
ton in the affirmative.
With domestic science one of the
principal branches of our schools to-
day, it seems hard to arrive at a
logical explanation of the circum-
stances responsible for this back
wardness in the arts of the home. My
opinion is that in the business world
activities of present-day girls lies the
real reason for the decline Of house
keeping efficiency.
1t was once a mothers Joy and
pride to boast OF the <eXcellency OF
her daughters cooking and the neat
ness she displayed in keeping house.

often points to the business of her
daughter, when discussing the quail

doubtful if it has increased the essen
