SIDE TALKS
When Life Is Too Easy
BY RUTH CAMERON.

"Well, there is ono thing about q big trouble like that" said my neigh bor, when I had told her how very sorry I was for a heavy trouble that had come upon her, 'it makes every little annoyance and inconvenience dwindle away. You know. my life had been pretty easy before this c@me to me, and yet I used to fuss about a lot of little things. I sometimes think, now perhaps it was too easy and that made me soft and selfish. l hope, if this ever comes cut right, l shall have learned not to fret so over little, un- important things
 Then Comes Real Trouble.
 Is it not often true that when one $ ways arc ways of pleas1ntncSS, and all ones paths are peace for any long stretch of time. one is all too apt to grow soft, to feel ones fibre slacken, to fret oneself disproportionateiy over the small disappointment, the minor inconvenience. And then comes real trouble and ones fibre stiffens to meet it and one becomes imperviOus to the lesser trouble.
 You Think Nou Couldn't Stand It.
 Have you not sometimes actually felt yourself growing soft and selfish? Have you not sometimes looked at your neighbor. buffeted by one mis- fortune and grief after another. and said to yourself, with sickness of soul at the very thought, 1T simply could not stand that?''
 And yet, you could stand it, if 1t should come. You would pass through it and perhaps come out with a strengthened fibre of character,-a knowledge of the secret resources of your soul,--that would bless you the rest of your life.
 Trouble Manufactures Courage.
 Trouble is like the toxin that the

LAST CHANCE TO
 SEE THE BELGIAN

Today is the last chance to seq The Belgian" at the Lyceum. This story stands forth like d brilliant etching against it's background of tragedy. Throughout the story runs the ensnaring web of the German se- cret service, the web whose center is at Wilhelmstrasse and which reaches out to enfold in it's meshes the char acters of the story almost to their undoing. The vaudeville is good and the program on the whole is we'll bal anced.

 Monday there will be a new show. The feature will be Madame Who," starring the favorite Bessie Barris- cale. The locale of the story is laid in the South during the period of the Civil War.

followed a sudden impulse in thus sending flowers with my card at tached to a total stranger. The thought of the wife whose brave fac ing of her trouble had so appealed to me, speeded my impulse and purse in the purchase. I was indeed glad to find she and her husband had re- ceived them.
 "Oh, dear" she said plaintively. "I was afraid you hadn't. I gave it to one of the nurses to mail, for I didn't want to leave MT. Graham, and, of course, she forgot it''
 'That doesn't necessarily follow" I said lightly. When you have lived in Marvin for time you will realize that the delivery of the mails here is fearful and wonderful thing.'
 She laughed, a little relieved, sill very tone, that attracted me greatly. I hastened to put the question which I should have asked at first.
 "I hope MT. Graham has fully re- covered,' I said solicitously.
 Thank you," she replied with the courtesy which I knew even without seeing her was inbred. He is still far from we'll, but he's so much bet ter than I had hoped he could be that I am very happy"
 "I am so glad" I returned fervently, and meant the words.

 1T don't know how to thank you for your kindly interest,"" the "other Mrs. Graham went on, land I cannot leave MT. Graham, who is at home here now, long enough to come over to see you. But I wanted to ask you if you wouldn't waive formally and come down to drink a dish of tea with me soon? I so want to know you"

 'DThe hospital" she said, and I fan cied there was a note of sharpness in her voice. What hospital?"
 "The Mineola Hospital" l returned, a bit wonderingly. "I was the victim of a slight automobile accident last week"
 "But you're all right now?" "Oh, yes'
 "Please pardon by abruptness,' she said, "but the mere mention of a hos pita1 shatters my nerves" 1T can we'll believe that" I returned, but as I hung up the telephone after | making arrangements to come to tea | the next day, I wondered vaguely if 1 she had given the real reason for her 1 abruptness.

THE PRICE YOU PAY

II know 1 ought to take treatment; l have been running down for the l last year or two. I am all Jagged out, have no ambition, worry from mOrn- Ing till night, don't care whether I am dead or alive, have lost weight and cannot do the same work 1 used to do some years ago. If 1 were as strong as l was, 1 could earn good good specialist, put 1 cannot afford money. 1 know 1 ought to treat with to pay for the treatment" You are paying for it NOW, my friend, and dearly; yet you do not get it.
 Let mo tell you why. Your health is your capital; your working capacity is the interest you are drawing.
 A good manager never spends more than his interest.
 Should he begin to draw on the capital his interest would, of course, decrease.
 And what are you doing?
 You allow your health to run down more and more; therefore, you can- not work and earn what you used to- Do you see the point? You are draw ing on your capital--which is your health-by allowing it tU run down, and so the interest (your working capacity) is steadily growing smaller.
 You used to make good money; now you earn about half Of what you used to get.
 To make two. three or four dollars was play to you; and you had all your heart and soul in your work.
 These happy days are gone.
 You now barely make q living and find it almost beyond your strength And you shuddcr at the thought of what will happen when the final breakdown comes.
 Figure out in dollars and cents what you have lost already and you will be amazed at the amount; and what you are gong to lose is beyond estimation.
 The dollar you MIGHT earn. but don't, is an actual expense to you. You spend it. And what do you get for it, Worry. anxiety, despondency. want and deprivation for yUup family.
 The dollar you take out of your pocket and spend for treatment with an experienced specialist is not an expense. It is an investment. And in reIurl you get increased working ability. higher wages. health and hap- plness at home.
 Which will you choose?
 Can you hesitate?

ADVOCATES KILLING OF
DOGS TO WIN THE WAR

DR.. Evan 0'Neill Kane, of Pennsyl-
vania, advocates the killing of dogs to
win the war. If not immediate execu-
ton, DR.. Kane proposes that tax be
levied that would be so high as to
make it absolutely prOhibitive for
anyone to own a canine except the
ultra rich. He hopes to get a bill in
Congress to provide such a tax.
DR.. Kane says there are 100000
dogs in the United States and they
consume food each year amounting to
between $25O,OOO and $1,OOO,OOO. He
calls them "unproftable luxuries"
and dangerous nuisances." Also dis
turbers of the peace, breeders Of hy-
drophobia and sheep killers. Dogs
in the United States kill 100000
sheep annually, he declares.

BETHLEHEM co. BUILDS MILL

The Bethlehem Zinc Company,
which recently purchased the old Han
nibal and St. Joe mill, with leases on
100 acres of ground, will begin the
erection of a 800 ton mill in very
short time. They expect to make this
mill modern in every particular. This
company has bought about $4,000
worth of subleases. The old mill on
the same site on which the new mill
will be erected is being torn down.
Eighty acres of this lease has been
subleased and the Bethlehem COM
pany will work the remainder. Two
shafts have already been sunk on the
company's land and n drift is being
run from the north shaft to the south
one. 1t is still 180 feet from the
south shaft, but has entered a large
body of rich lead, which it is thought
will continue to the south shaft, as
good lead is shown there. This lease
is located just east Of Quapaw.
