Mot TO BE Mon Over.

A Nebraska farmer, who had been
counted doubtful at the best, greeted in
a most unexpected way three prohibit
ton workers who approached him. He
was big, sturdy giant, and out in the
field picking corn. AS the crew ff4n
the federation came toward him, head
Ell by a stocky business man. whose
flushed face belied his habits, the
farmer stopped his team, squared him
self around, assumed a defiant atti-
tude, and cried: Come on boys. Come
on and talk to me all you want to.
But 1 tell you right now, no matter
what you say and what you promise,
I'm going to vote her dry."-Christian

GIRLS WHO WORK IN HOMES.

Expect not more from thy workers than
is just;
Reward them well If they observe their
trust
Nor with them coldness or pride invade,
Since God and nature them our sisters
made.
Wanted: A tidy young girl for gen.
eral hOusework in family of two adults
and three children. A good home guar
anteed, also generous wages and priv
ileges. Private house; all home cook
ing"
Wanted: Girl for general house
work for two adults in small fiat. Lit
tie cooking required. Buy all at bak-
cry anG delicateSSen. Fair wages.
Fine air, fiat on fourth floor"
How many girls, looking for situa-
tons as general houseworker, would
ignore the first advertisement and
jump at the chance to secure the place
offered in the second? Nine girls out
of ten would mentally eXclaim: ''No
children! Little or no cooking! Only
few rooms to keep clean. That place
is a cinch.''
The doorbell Of the fiat is constantly
rung. They pass the door of the
woman who has three children, turn
ing their heads the other way. Do
these girls make q wise choice? /
sent out hundred and fifty letters to
as many single workingmen, all of
whom would eventually look for wives,
putting this question up to them: 1t
would open the eyes of the better
class of working girl to know their
opinion on this subject. I will quote
the letter of one young man, which
voices the sentiment of the great ma
jority.
Dear Miss Libbey: I am glad you
ask my opinion on this subject. l
have long had serious thoughts con-
corning it. My views are that the
girl looking for Il soft place makes a
shiftlesS wife. That girl is afraid Of
work. She'd feed husband on deli
catessen and bakery stuff until he lost
all vigor and all the blood in his
veins and was unable to work. She
would not make fit mother, knowing
little or nothing about children. The
girl who makes her own living in a
good home of others is fitting herself
day by day to care for home of her
own when she gets one. The study OF
the married life of a young couple is
worth something to her. Above all,
the study of child-life is the greatest
lesson a young woman can learn and
profit by later on. She sees how to
care for the infant, the toddler and
the older ones, what is for their we'll
being or dangerous for them. 1t is
brought to her attention what they
thrive on or what they may Sicken
under. She learns the value of home
cooking, the greatest knowledge on
Garth. The careful mother of a grow
ing family teaches her economy in
running a home. Such girl soon be-
comes fitted to be the ablest kind of
aid to poor man who might wed her.
He could well intrust his savings into
her hands and see ahead future pros
perity and happy home. &C. B. e.
All girls should have a knowledge
of homework and home life.

SWEETHEARTS TOO AFFECTION
ATE.

III | freely may discover
What should please me in my lover,

More of court than city;
A little proud but full of pity,
Light and humorous In her toying,
Oft building hopes and soon destroying.
1t is well for lover and his lass to
he sure OF their affection for each 9TH
er. But * is not necessary to exhibit
before the public their great fOndness
for each other. Haven't you seen the
silly pair of lovers holding hands in
the theater, blind to the knowledge
that people were observing them and
tittering? Many summer lover is a
nuisance. He persists in putting his
arm behind her seat when he takes
his girl trolley-riding. The winter
beau makes himself quite as conSpicu-
Gus by holding his sweetheart too
closely claSped in his arms in the
dance, and being unable to restrain
the fond words he whispers to her.
lie forgets other people have sharp
ears and that he brings both himself
and the girl into ridicule. If he is in
vited to sing before a company of
friends he is sure to select the most
sentimental love ditty. He sings di-
rectly ut the girl he cares for, bliss
fully unconscious that anyone else Is
listening.
If the girl Is quite as responsive, en-
couraging him in his lovemaking be-
fore others, they make a sorry pair.
Their friends do not invite them IN
their homes after they have ceased
making Jokes of them. His male COM
panions are apt t. call the man soft

"a foolish fellow" The pair satisfy
only each other. If the maiden is at
all sensitive, she does not relish his
parading his affection for her before
friends or strangers. There are time
and place for all things. 1t is not
the time TO call the girl of his choice
"dearie," sweetheart" "duckie" or
"lovie' when there are others within
earShOt. Nor should he put her to
maidenly shame by thruSting an I'M
expected caress upon her. Let no
young couple imagine that they are
not observed wherever they may ap-
pear in public. A nice-looking youth
and maiden are sure to be the cynosure
Of all eyes, admired as long as they
leport themselves in accordance with
good manners. When they deyiate

who might be foolish enough to follow
their examples.
Even the most exacting sweetheart
should not expect her lover TO be more
than polite to her in the company Of
others. His lovemaking will be all
the more appreciated in her little par
Tor, with only some few of her home

heart, but it should not be worn on

The early Tarascans, a Mexican

of tempering copper. One of their le-
gends is not far removed from the

One of the latest conceptions for
rendering military uniforms less WIS.,

Some of the darker patches are out
lined in a still darker color, and small

so that the effect of uncertain light

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-ROOt, DR.. Kilmer'S PreScrip-
ton, OvercOmeS Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the posons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting OF burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DIR. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t

vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.

How to Adorn
The Church For
,.. The Holiday

CHURCH decoration should be
started at least a week before
Christmas. Better be early and
do the work deliberately rather than
leave it and rush and slight the I'M
dertaking at the last moment.
Have decorations light and use color
sufficient to make them cheerful. Work
in plenty of red and white.
Everlasting flowers are good for the
purpose. Bunches of immortelles can
be broken up, wired into small bunch
es and used in various ways. These
can be had in white, red, yellow and
other colOrs.
Work color into the garlands at prop
er intervals to relieve the sOmber eff
feet of the heavy dark green wreath
ing. Pampas plumes are excellent
where they can be used away from
gas-lights or danger of fire.
Holly branches are most useful and
appropriate. Laurel, lockwood, wild
smilax, branches of evergreen trees
and tissue paper wreaths, bells and
garlands all work in together effec-
lively where IA little taste and judg-
Isent are used in the arrangement.

foundation Of English liberties is
known by the name of Magma Charta.
Johns tyranny had become intolerable,
and the hopes of the people hung ON
the fortunes of the French campaign,
in which he was then engaged. After
his defeat and return to England the
barons met secretly and swore to de-
mand the restoration of their liberties
by charter under the kings seal. Hav-
ing agreed to assemble for this pur-
pose at Christmas, they separated. On
the feast of the Epiphany the barons
asked of the king his confirmation OF
the laws of Edward the Copfessor and
Henry l. John met the barons with
an absolute refusal, but, finding them
firm. pleaded for time to consider. This
was granted, and in 1915, knowing 1t
to be inevitable, he called the barons
