Begin the Day IL Coed humor and ps.
termine Not to Complain, and
Note the Result.

Start the day right-especially when
the weather is trying upon ones
nerves.. Start it by being in good hu.
mor-by refusing to be annoyed. Don't
get excited nbout anything; there is
reaily nothing exciting early in the
mOnatng. Make the most Oh ev.dy.
thing about you-and determine in
yoursown mind that come what may
you are going to accept 1t without COM
plaint, and there will be little cause
for complaint. says the Dayton News.
If we could start the day with q
smile, there would be no trouble for us
through the hours to follow. II we
would refuse to become peeved, moth.
log would peeve us throughout the day.
There Is more in this thing Of getting
started right than the average man
may suppose.
Ever notice q good engineer, how he
starts the train? He sits there gazing
up the track. He has oiled the engine
and caressed 1t little and gazed ut 1t
admiringly. He clasps the throttle with

pull it recklessly. He presses 1t slightly,
some way, and the muscles in his arms
contract gently, md the steam Kisses 4
bit, and the great wheels start to turn
us gently US If child were turning
them. They revolve little faster, and
little faster, and the train Is under
full speed with never jolt or jerk.
Well, that's exactly the way we ought
to start the day. We ought not to e1.
pcct to get under full speed at the
jump. There should be no joltins, no
Jerking. The wheels ought to move
slowly, gently, at the start, and we
ought to work ourselves to full pres.
sure as gradually as the engineer gets
his train underway. Then we'h find a
smooth track and plenty Of power and
we'll be able to bring the train into
the shed Mt night with never an injury
to q passenger and the machinery in
good shape.

Lincoln Cell met with an adventure
the other day which turned out all
right in the end, but which he prob
ably could not repeat with such lucky
ending in thousand trials. He start
ed up from the river Wednesday, in
the blizzard, with load of wood. AS
the team came up the big hill, they
concluded to keep on and let the dri-
yer walk home. They veered off as
they reached the top, and came with
IN little bit of going over steep
bank, fall which would have pulver-
lied the whole outfit. Lincoln followed
them short distance, but, knowing
that unless he retraced his steps at

started for home on foot, through the
wild snow-storm and got to Williams
port about dark After dreaming all
night about dead horses and a hash
like wagon, the hunt was taken up the
following day. The outfit was found
all right The tongue had run into a
bank and stopped the team. And the
wonder of it ali is that not bit of
damage had been done.

ALLIES ARE SUCCESSFUL.
,Hindenberg Line Said to Be Turned
On the North by British.

London, April 10TH The British
sweep east of Arras today turned the.
northern pivot Of the famous linden
berg line and large forces of British
troops tonight were pressing far be-
yond the top of that German barrier,
which was prepared after endless
months of labor.
The manner in which the British
have advanced over scores Of Ger
man trenches, which the Germans
must have believed would protect
them indefinitely, have been little short
of miraculous. The Germans them
selves have been amazed At the audac-
ity of the invaders and have surrend-
cred with an air Of complete mystifi-
cation.
The success Of the attack launched
yesterday against some of the strong
est sections of the German lines Of
the entire western front seems to in
dicate the fact that the artillery has
finally solved the problem Of entrench-
ed warfare. It has taken years Of
preparation, but when the guns were
finally massed against the German
front they hammered it into submis-
sion. .tn

POLICEWOMEN NEED TACT.

One lost tooth and one blackened
eye are the total wartime casualties
of the $50 policewomen in London
who have helped to release harness"
Boobies for the trenches. The tooth
was punched out during slight mis-
understanding with lady prisoner
Another minor difference of opinion
was climaxed by an unlady-like wal
lop in the eye.
Cecil Chapman, a police official, eX-
planned that the policewoman must
have an unusual fund of tact to make
up for her lack of Drawn. One police
woman, he said, was shocked by the
hugging of young soldier and girl
in public. She attempted an arrest,
but learning that as the pair were en-
gagged they had a perfect right to
borrow and pay back kisses any time
they pleased.
So the soldier had the policewoman
arrested for interfering.

ACID IN STOMACH
SOUR THE FOOD AND
CAUSE INDIGESTION
"Pape's Diapepsin' Fixes Sour
Classy, Upset Stomachs
in Five Minute.

You don't know what upset your
stomach-which portion of the food
did the damage-do you? Well,
don't bother. If your stomach is in
a revolt; if sick, gassy and upset,
and what you have just ate has fer
mented and turned sour; head dizzy
and aches; belch gases and acids and
eructate undigested food; breath
foul, tongue coated-just take a lit
tie Pape's Diapepsin to neutralize
acidity and in five minutes you won
der what become of the indigestion
and distress.
Millions of men and women to-day
know that it is needless to have dys-
pepsia. A little Diapepsin occasion
ally keeps the stomach sweetened,
and they eat their favorite foods
without fear.
If your stomach doesn't take care
of your liberal limit without rebel
lion; if your food is damage in
stead of help, remember the quick
est, surest, most harmless antacid is
Pape's Diapepsin, which costs only
fifty cents for large case at drug
stores. It's truly wonderful
stops food souring and sets things
straight, SO gently and easily that it
is really astonishing. Your stomach
will digest your meals if you keep
acids neutralized. (adv)

Look At Tongue! If Coated, Clean
Little Stomach, Liver,
Bowels.

Don't scold your fretful, peevish
child. See if tongue is coated; this
is a sure sign it's little stomach,
liver and bowels are clogged with
sour waste.
When listless, pale, feverish, full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore,
doesn't eat, sleep or act. naturally,
has stomachache, indigestion, diar-
rhoea, give a teaspoonful of Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs" and in few
hourse all the foul waste, the sour
bile, and fermenting food passes out
of the bowels and you have a well
and playful child again Children
love this harmless fruit laxative, y
and mothers can rest easy after CIV
ing it, because it never fails to
make their little 'insides" clean and
sweet.
Keep it handy, mother! A little
given, to-day saves a sick child to-
morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a 50-cent bottle Of
California Syrup of Figs" which
has directions for babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Remember
there are counterfeits sold here, so
surely look and see that yours is
made by the California Fig Syrup
Company" Hand back with con-
tempt any other fig syrup. (adv)

IL. D. Stearns in the Mothers Maya
zine for October.

DO not try to crowd a child into
some niche for which he is not fitted.
Nature endows every normal person
with talent along some particular
line, and when you attempt to force 4
musician to become lawyer, or an
architect to take up the profession of
literature, you are trying to force a
square peg into round hole. 1t can
not be done successfully.
When you compel the girl whose
delight is in shining pots and kettles
and whose happiness scars high over
mixing cakes and bread and pies, to
enter business life, either as clerk,
bookkeeper or stenographer, you are
helping to fashion one of those dreary
failures who attain sometimes half
way success and then, pausing, look
out npon the world and wonder why
her life is so far short of what her
friends has reached
There is as much glory in loaf of
well-baked bread as in adding figures
or teaching a child to read. 1t isn't
the kind of work, but the way it is
done that spells success or failure
when the balances of life are struck.
The glory of living consists in giving
to the world what God-has given to
you.
With this thought as a keynote,
mold with gentle hand the young life
entrusted to your care. Fit and train
the child to take his own part in the
world-not the attempted part of
somebody else.
Earnestly, prayerfully, set about
finding the particular bent toward
which he is inclined, but remember
that in cultivating one talent others
must not be neglected. A good gen
eral education along all lines, to-
gether with clean, strong body and
soul, hand in hand with work that
calls forth amen of the soul, is what
counts; and it will be only when we
awake to the fact that not our plans,
but those of an all-wise God are to
be followed, that life, individual and
total, will round out into both sue
cess and happiness.

WAR GARDENS OF FRANCE.
(Mme. Bernardini Sjoestedt in Car
tOons MagaZine.)


Gardens were very much la mode
this summer in Paris, especially vege-
table gardens. do not refer to such
gardens as Willettes picture shows
us-a sweet peasant girl in the be-
coming Lorraine bonnet, the bonnet
DirectOire, who, with one finger on
her lips, watches the cabbies in her
window bOxes-cabbages from which
little pollus has sprouted. : / should
perhaps tell you that in France
do not know whether it is the same
in America-the fiction is that baby
brothers grow in cabbage heads,
while little sisters come from the
smaller. perfumed chou des roses:
Thus the cabbage plays in France the
same role as the stork in other coun-
tries. can still remember my little
boy, then 3 years old, running to me
with a cabbage head that the gard
ener had just cut, in his baby hands.
A big caterpillar has been severed
by the knife, and half of 1t still
wiggling. Look" exclaimed the lit
tie fellow, indignant at the irrepara-
BILE damage, little brother had al
ready started" It is this childish be-
lief to which the child in Micheline
Resco's drawing gives utterance.
while, with her pretty mother, she is
planting vegetables in the boxes on
the balcony. Mother" she asked,
eff plant Brussels sprout, do you
suppose I'll get little Belgian
brother?" In that case 1t would
have to be brother of the size of
a flea in Hans Anderson's delightful
fairy story.

"A car enables you, your family and your friends to know and see this earth and enjoy it fully. To call car "luxury," if you are able to own and it, is trivial nonsence. AS well call running water and bathtub in pour house luxury.
 ''If you had intended to trade in your old car for new one, go ahead and do it! If you have decided on the make of the new car, go and get it!
