Home Tact.

We hear frequently that 1t is love that makes the world go round. There used to be catchy song to that effect that sounded quite convincing. But, occasionally, one entertains the suspicion that with love alone to steer by, the world might very easily fly off on any tangential path that presented itself, and that nothing short of genu- inc tact, nice discernment, inborn courtesy-call it what you will-freely exercised in the same place where charity, too, should begin, will hold the spinning earth in its proper groove and keep it from colliding with the rest of the universe.-ExchangGA

Why Children Believe in Fairies.

To the children fairies stand for all the wonderful and unpredictable cossl- bilities of life, for all the magic of 1t, It's charm of unexpectedness. A child Is bit puzzled by the inevitable; in the fairy world 1t does not exist. In that world he slips away from the world of grown-ups, with its endless consequences remorselessly bounding the gay, irresponsible nttle-child do- :ngs. He loves the grown-ups and 1t is not from them that he wishes to es- cape. but from their world, their dihl- cult, unyielding world.-From the At lantic.

Oldest Bird Known.

The oldest bird known is called the archeopteryx. That is Greek word. which really means "ancient wing" It was an extraordinary bird. It had a long tail, not all feathers as a birds tail is now, but like a lizards tail, long and thick, with bones and flesh. and with feathers growing from it. It had two legs, with which 1t could walk or perch in the trees, but 1t had two other limbs like hands, which it probably used to climb about the trees instead of flying from bough to bough, as birds now do.g It. had curious eye fitted with sort of armor shield, as the rep. tiles have, and its beak was armed with great strong teeth. There is no such bird as this now.

EXPECT ANSWER
WITHIN MONTH

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Stockhold
ers Of the Equitable Life Insurance
Society yesterday voted to approve
the naturalization plan adopted by
the board Of directors on July 10 AT
that time a plan for retiring the stock
OF the society and placing It in the
hands Of the policy holders for all
time was presented by the mutuaii-
cation committee of the board OF ci'
rectors.
A mild protest was made b" rep
resenlatives Of minority stock
against the price they were 70 re-
ceive for their holdings. One resolu-
ton substituted $500 for $500 per
share which the plan provided as
payment for minority stock. This
was voted down.
The main features Of the plan pro
vide that General T. Coleman dupont,
who I'm 1913 purchased the CONTROL
ing interest In the society from j. p.
Morgan in carrying out his promise
to cooperate in placing the policy
holders In control Of the stock Of the
society offers them his holdings Of
564 shares at approximately 50 900,
600 less than they cost him. plus in.
terest. His offer aggregates S2,799,.
600, and includes, in addition to the
control stock. sixty-three shares OF
minority stock at $500 per share.
The plan states that the society. in
its desire to deal fairly with the
owners Of 436 shares Of minority
stock. has offered a price which is
believed to be considerably above the
average cost to them. The price pro
vided for the 436 shares Is the same
as will be paid to General dupont
for his sixty shares Of minority stock
The proposition now goes 10 the
society's 10000 policy holders for
ratification. Their verdict will prob
ably be recorded within the next
month. Every policy Of $1,000 Of
more will have an equal vote In de

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just as
natural as it is for old people to walk
slowly. For age is never so active as
youth. The muscles are less elastic.
And the bowels are muscles
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at
all ages, but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But a lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
OF the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store.

S23.25 per month, while it is s32S3
without board
Those conditions are certain to re-
suit In small crops with attendant high
prices, said department official to-
day. He predicted that cotton might
even go higher than the peak price
or 1876 cents per pound, reached last
year.
One important factor in the fore
cast of a high price for cotton. is the
action of the federal shipping board in
its endeavor to construct a large
American fleet of wooden sea jitneys
to take care of our commerce:
Last year vast stores of cotton were
tied up for the lack of bottoms to
transport it.
If the shipping board is able to car
ry out its present plan, this fleet of
5000 to 1000 ton wood motorboats
will be in service by the time the
cotton crop is ready for the market
and many of the boats can be used
to handle the cotton exports.
The department reports that the
cold weather in the south, especially
IN Florida, Texas and southern Cali
fornia has partially destroyed the
early crop of vegetables.
Vegetable Crop Killed.
This early vegetable crop, depart
ment officials say, will be from three
20 TOUR weeks later than usual. The
weather at the points mentioned
reached a temperature of "a degrees
above zero or degrees below freezing
point
kilograms received by the depart
ment state that potatoes were frozen
IN the ground and are probably dam
aged so per cent by the freeze.
The lettuce crop was almost totally
destroyed.

California were killed.
