No man is a hero to his valet, runs
the old saying; and fewer still are
heroes to their wives.
But to the woman who is closely
associated with him in his business

clerk, or cashier-a man is seldom
less than a demi-god. That is, unless
he is really a demi-god. and even
some demi-gods set the favorable
rating.

woman will tell you in hushed. wor-
Sinful tones. mo other man in the
world could accomplish what he is

or if she inclines more to the
Vernacular: Say. if you're looking
for the real stuff, you've got to hand

Go-getterville. believe me-
And there's a reason for 1t.
The man at business is the man
in action. He is the modern express

His wife sees him only when he
returns at night to the family lodge,
spent and wearied by the efforts he
has put forth, all the edge of his en-
thusiasm dulled. His step is lag
gard and his speech slow. If the
hunting has been good, he dumps
down his spoil at the door and gives
himself over to rest and relaxation.
If on the other hand things have
gone badly with him, he is apt to be
GRABBED and fault-finding.
He may endeavor to show an in
terest in the affairs of the house,

Girls and women with sallow

A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate costs very little at the

Neil O,Brien, minstrel man, known on every American stage for gen. eration past, was at the Davis theatre on Friday evening with a company of sweet singers, trained musicians and blackface comedians of the O'Brien standard that made an attraction that filled the house from the front row clear to the roof.

 A dancing story in rhyme with a plantation setting and the comedians in the makeup of an aged colored preacher and the reacons of his church was one of the funniest fea- lures of the evening.
 At the request of the local war sav- ings stamp committee, "Sugarfoot'' Gaffney and Billy Van Allen made an announcement that sellers of stamps would pass through the audience, and Miss Marion Swan, with her Girl Scout assistants, were helped out in their 1 sales by the effective way in which the comedians presented the subject William H.
