noble.
william Henry Kephart was born in
Porter, Ohio. in 1854. the son of W. G.

were Presbyterians of the strictest
type for generations. The parents
were astonished to find themselves the
possessors of a jolly. r%ollicking boy,
who made the most comical faces and
drew the most comical pictures on the
backs of the white doors, on the walls
and in his books; who thought the
world a fine place to live in and met
the storms of life with a laugh and let
them blow right over his head.
When a youth, Mr.. Kephart entered
the East Tennessee university for two
years, and during that time he sang
in the choir at st. Johns Episcopal
church. Later he left East Tennessee
and entered Marietta college, o.,
where he graduated in 1878. He then
went west, first to Atlantic. Iowa,
where his parents resided. He was a
reporter for the Atlantic Telegraph
for two years; then he went to Miller,
Dakota, where he edited the Hand

Detroit Herald-Nobody aver thinks
of going to the coal dealer and asking
him to send a little coal up to the
church or lodge room to heat up the
building for a meeting or entertain
ment. Nor does one ask the ice cream
man to donate ice cream nor does one
suggest the electric light company
furnish lights for the occasion. But
people often express surprise and re-
sentiment II the newspaper man asks
regeneration for an advertising no.
tice relative to aforesaid meeting or
entertainment.
II the coal dealer or the ice cream
man Or the electric light company
should voluntarily donate said coal,
ice cream or electric lights the recip-
tents thereof would be exceedingly
grateful and would probably instruct
the newspaper man to run free notice
telling all about the generosity Of the
aforesaid coal dealer, ice cream mar

The editor very gladly gives a GER

EAT WHAT YOU NEED:

food than he requires. And what you
require depends upon what kind Of a

or stenographer, or engaged in an
average office occupation, you are sup.
posed to need $500 calories day.
Ii you are woman in a similar en-
ployment, you are supposed to require
but 1000 calories.
Artisans and mechanics need $500
Calorles or less.
Laborers at hard manual work re.

A Free Prescription You Can Hav,
Filled and Use at Home


Philadelphia, Pa. Victims of eye strain
and other eye weaknesses, and those who
wear glasses, will be glad to know that
according to DR.. Lewis there is real hope
and help for them. Many whose eyes
we're failing say they have had their eyes
restored by this remarkable prescription
and many who once wore glasses say
they have thrown them away. One man
saws. after using it: II was almost blind.
Could not see to read at all. Now l can
read everything without my glasses and
nv ewes do not hurt any more. at night
they would pain dreadfully. Now they
feel fine all the time. 1t was like a
miracle to me- A lady who used it says:
1.-THE atmosphere seemed hazy with or
without glasses, but after using this pre-
scription for 10 days everything seems
clear. can read even fine print with
out glasses" Another who used 1t says
"I was bothered with eye strain caused
BY overworked, tired eyes which induced
fierce headaches. have worn glasses for
several years both for distance and work,
and without them l could not read my
own name on an envelope or the type
writing on the machine before me. can
do both now and have discarded my long
distance glasses altogether. | can count
the fluttering leaves on the trees, across
the street now, which for several years
have looked like dim green blur to me,
l cannot express my joy at what 1t mas
done for me-"
It is believed that thousands who wear
glasses can now discard them In a reason
