with all this stuff and let's get back to
the real girl
There are certain small things that
betoken the real lady or gentleman
Just as surely as the rising of the sun
betokens the coming of day. Thank
God there are some SO evenly
balanced that they are jewels and keep
mans faith still. She knows how to
dress intelligently and does it insofar
as her means will permit. She does
not go about in snow storms with her
feet shod in a pair of ties; she does
not try to see how little she can wear
to a ball and escape arrest; she e
not attempt to beat the girl of ten in
the length of her skirt, but on the con-
trary she decides sensibly about her
wardrobe and upon every occasion you
feel she is decidedly well dressed. She
is neither conspicuous for being under
dressed or over dressed and you know
that her head is too full OF grey mat
ter and her heart and mind too full OF
the big things of life for her to spend
the major part of her time upon the
subject of dress. She is the sort of
woman that a man would wish to call
wife, would wish to mother his chill
dren. Her mind has not dwelt upon
the subject of fashion and the super
fatalities until it is too warped ever
to be made capable of seriously CON
sidering the worth while things of life
and she is altogether lovely" And
this is not an argument for the prude-
| We speak for the real womanly wo-
man. The one who can enjoy the
| right sort of good time to the limit,
who is not afraid to laugh, but who is
well poised. We would not deny her
the pleasures of life. She has as much
right to them as her brothers. Let
her gun, fish, play games, swim, drive
a car-these teach her independence.
But let her keep her womanly sweet
ness and good ense. "Then shall
men rise up and call her blessed, and
we know full well that this type will
make for better men.

indecency, and we quote the following
from the New York Sun:
Bishop McCort at all the masses in
the Church of Our Mother of Sorrows
gave a spirited denunciation of the
present indecent dress of women.
which he said was to be blamed for
much of the evil of the times. He had
opened a propaganda, he said, against
this growing improperly chiefly be-
cause of the bad example set to chill
dren, who were becoming sadly def
cient in respect for religion and care
less in their conversation.
THE Bishop said that the prevalence
bf certain indecent styles was no ex-
euse whatever for m appearing
without sufficient clothes, nor would it
excuse them when on the last day they
were held responsible for the sins they
had occasioned others to commit. Pro
priety and morality demanded that a
woman should be as much clothed as a
man, he said, and she should remem-
Der her obligations quite as we'll as the
other sex.
THE Bishop said that if the women
of to-day could look back to their
mothers and grandmothers, going
about with the short skirts and other
|~curtailed dress which they now wear
themselves, they would be shocked.
The Ten Commandments, however, he
said, were just the same now as when
they were given to Moses, and just as
necessary to the women of to-day as
hoped the Catholic women would no
longer wear the shameful clothes they
had been wearing, which made them a
disgrace to the faith"
Another fashion which sickens is the
paint and powder plague. Surely ev-
cry young girl has the charm of youth,
God given, and yet she seems to feel
that she can improve upon the work of
the Almighty with a box of Rouge.
Noses now look as though they had
, been white-washed and the color of
some cheeks would discount a SOU
brette and yet lovely woman will ruin
herself in this style and do it in the
broad daylight and expect admiration.
Girls, do you think when a man is
looking for a wife he wants one of the
paint and poWder variety?
Every young girl, no matter who she
may be, has the charm of youth and
snould hold it. 1t is as elusive as a
dream and cannot last for many years,
20 while it is hers she should cherish
t. 1t is the look of youth.
But no girl can hold it, no matter
how clever, who covers it up with lay
ers of rouge and swathes of powder,
declares a beauty specialist.
1t seems almost unbelievable that
any girl with a really good complexion
would resort to paint or powder, and
yet it is true that many do. 1t may be
that these girls have an idea that these
aids to complexion give to them the
appearance of sophistication.
And they are right, in a measure.
For rouge invariably does give the
lines of the face an older look, a hard
ening of the countenance, if too rashly
used.
And the last drop in the bucket is
tho nenciled eyebrows and lids. AWAY

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and
that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the infammatio can be reduced and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inhamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine Circulars

To Wilhelm Won Hohenzollern, King
of Prussia, Emperor of all Germany
and Envoy Extraordinary of Almigh-
ty God
My dear Wilhelm: l can call you
by that familiar name, for l have al
ways been very close to you-much
closer than you could eyer know.
From the time that you were yet az
~undeveloped being have I shaped your
destiny for my purpose.
In the days of Rome l created a
roughneck known in history as Nero.
He was a vulgar character and suited
my purpose for that particular time. In
these modern days a classic demon and
efficient supernatural was needed,
and | know the H~ohenzollern blood.
/ picked you as my special instrument
to place on earth an of hell. |
gave you abnormal ambition, likewise
an o%versupply of egotism that you
might not discover your own failings;
| twisted your mind to that OF a mad
man with certain magnetic force that
you might sway the people. | am re-
sponsible for the deformed arm that
hangs helpless on your left, for your
crippled condition embitters your life
and destroys ali noble impulses that
might otherwise cause me anxiety,
| - -+,1pr curnrd aYua &c driven
by your ambition that squelches all
sentiment and pity; | placed in your
soul a deep hatred for all things Eng
lish, for of all nations on earth | hate
England most; wherever England
plants her flag she brings order out
of chaos and the hated cross follows
the Union Jack; under her rule wild
tribes become tillers of the soil and in
due time practical citizens; she is the
great civilizer of the globe and l hate
her. | plant in your soul a cruel hat
red for your mother because she was
J English, and left my good friend Bis
marck to fan the flame | had kindled.
Recent history proves how well our
work was done. 1t broke your royal
mothers heart, but l gained my pur
pose.
The inherited disease of the Hohen.
zollerns killed your father, just as ii
will kill you, and you became the ruler
of Germany and a tool of mine sooner
than l expected.
To assist and further hasten my
work l Sent you three evil spirits
Nietzsche, Tritschke and later Bern.
hardi-whose teachings inlamed the
youths of Germany, who in good time
would be willing and loyal subjects
and eager to spill their blood and pull
your chestnuts, yours and mine; the
spell has been perfect-you cast your
ambitious eyes toward the Mediterran-
can, Egypt, India and the Dardenalles
and you began your great railway to
Bagdad, but the ambitious arch-duke
and his more ambitious wife stood in
your way. 1t was hen that l sowed
the seed in your heart that blossomed
into the assassination of the duke and
his wife, and all hell smiled when it
saw how cleverly you saddled the
crime on Serbia. l saw you set sails
for the fords of Norway, and I knew
you would prove an alibi. How clever
ly done, so much like your noble grand
father who also secured an assassin to
remove old King Frederick of Den
mark, and later robbed that country of
two provinces that gave Germany an
opportunity to become a naval power.

ny
Your opportunity was at hand; you
set the world on fire and bells of hell
were ringing; your rape on Belgium
caused much joy. 1t was the begin
ming, the foundation of a perfect hell on
earth; the destruction of noble cathe-
drals and other infinite works of art
was hailed with joy in the Internal
regions.
You made war on friends and foe
alike and the murder of civilians show
ed my teachings had borne fruit. Your
treachery toward neutral nations has
tened a universal upheaval, the thing
| most desired. Your undersea warfare
is a master stroke. from the smallest
mackerel pot to the great Lusitania
you show no fayorites; as a val lord
you stand supreme, for you have nc
mercy; you have no consideration for
the baby clinging to its mothers
breasts as they both go down into the
deep together, only to be torn apart
and leisurely d%evoured by sharks down
among the corals.
l have strolled over the battlefelds
of Belgium and France. l have seen
your hand of destruction everywhere;
it's all your work, super-fend that l
made you. | have seen the fields of
Poland; now a wilderness fit for prowl-
ing beasts only; no merry children in
Poland now; they all succumbed to
frost and starvation-I drifted down
into Galicia where formerly Jews and
Gentiles lived happily together; [
found ruins and ashes; | felt a curious
pride in my pupil, for it was all above
my expectation. I was in Belgium
when you drove the peaceful popula-
ton before you like cattle into slav-
cry; you separated man and wife and
| forced them to hard labor in trenches.
l have seen the most flendish rape
committed on young women and those
who were forced into maternity were
cursing the father of their offspring
and l began to doubt if my own infer
no was really up-t0-date.
You have taken millions of dollars
from innocent victims and called it
indemnity; you have lived fat on the
land you usurped and sent the real
owners away to starvation. You have
j strayed away from all legaliZed var
methods and introduced a code of your

people of friendly nations and destroy
ed their property. You are a liar, a
hypocrite and a buffer of the highest
magnitude. You are a part of mine
and yet you pose as a personal friend
of God. All Wilhelm, you are a Won
der. You wantonly destroy all things
in your path and leave nothing for
coming generations.
l was amazed when | saw you form
a partnership with the impossible
Turk, the chronic killer of Christians,
and you, a devout worshiper in the
Lutheran church. | confess, Wilhelm,
you are a puzzle at times. A Moham-
medan army, commanded by German
officers, assisting one another in mas
sacring Christians is a new line of
warfare. When a Prussian officer can
witness a nude being disem-
boweled by a swarthy Turk, commit
ting a double murder with one cut of
his saber, and calmly stand by and see
a house full of innocent Armenians
locked up, then my teachings did not
stop with you, but have been extended
to the whole German nation. I con-
