EVENING SMILE.
A NOSEY PAIR.

1wp brothers who live in mn Enst
Lancashire manufacturing town were
noted for being exceptionally well served
with nasal organs
One Of the ring spinnprs ut the mill
where they worked invited them tn a
wedding and promised To send cab for
them
The cab duly arrived and the two
brothers entered and plnnked themselves
down one Mt each window
In order tn create an impression during
the drive 10 the wedding, tho two brothers
were looking ont of the cab, ono nj either
side, SO that the people could sce them.
All went well until the cab came 10 n
rather narrow railway arch which our
travellers had to pass through The cab
man looked back To take his bearing and
seeing the two brothers noses sticking
out Of the windows on either side, shouted

Legislative Strabismus.

That state Of vision the doctors call
strabismus, but known 10 the laity as
"cruss-eved, seems to have attacked those
members OF the legislature S lower house
who on Friday reported unfavorabiy the
bill requiring all horse-drawn vehicles to
show light while using the highways at
night. and this too. in despite Of the fact
that the House already has passed bill
making proof of failure TO show light
evidence Of contributory negligence IN
law suite arising over road accidents.
Onc-that is. one sound in mind and
understanding ng-Honders how on earth
the rejectors of the bill came to Their con-
clusicn 1t is to be supposed that occasion
ally they use tie public highways at night
and are therefore aware Of the danger TO
life and limb those who travel III hghtlees
convevances enjoy They also ought TO be
aware that to carry light is simply TO
employ very simple and cheap method Of
preserving ones skin who e in front Of an
automobile going al igh speed or another
less hasty vehicle drawn by horses. They
ought also TO be aware Of the fac that the
law makes it obligatory upon the auto
mobiIist to carry lights both fore and aft.
Why, therefore, these monuments OF legis-
lative wisdom should object to horse
drawn vehicles having just one light pass
es our mere human comprehension.
Let US hope the unfavorable report
works no harm. lest retributive justice
gives the fool-killer another Job

H. believes this is not only tho best, but
probably the cheapest way TO care Tor the
soldiers. The officials point out that no
now hospitals will have 10 be built; ~
viii be merely a matter Of enlarpiDg the
capacity Of those already standing.
The administrative part, and much of the
equipment needed are already IN exist
onco. As for the three tuberculosis
sanatoria, the Public Health Service
thinks that one should be located in New
Englnnd, one IN the southern mountains,
and one in the west. These sanatoria
should have for n beginning . combined
capacity Of about $500
What will the Public Health Servlce
do with these institutions after the
veterans are all discbarged2 The answer
To this question is obvious. Tho United
States Is looking forward 10 an enormous
expansion Of its merchant marine, aud
the care Of the sick mariners will still be
duty Of this service. All the other branches
Of the government for which the Public
Health Service acts az doctor are growing
And the recent influenza epidemic, with its
pitlful toll of deaths that could have been
prevented by adequate hospital service
ut reasonable rates, has made plain to
everyone the need for government hos

public in time of dire need

THE BETTER DAYS.

The better days lie just ahead
Not with the past among the dead.
Our finest hours are all to be,
Life b best our eyes arc still TO scc,
And yet men sigh and dwell upon
The joys that were and long have gone,
Wise men dcplored IN centuries old,
That men had turned their thoughts 70
gold
And seemed to present glories blind
While treasuring those they'd left behind.
And those that followed grew to yearn
For vanished splendors, in their turn.
Youth hears from sages old and gray
OF many n bygone yesterday,
Yet grows to find that he has priced
Those joys which Older men despised,
And to the youth about his knee
lie talks OF joys that used to be.
Live not too closely with the past.
No Joy is sent 10 man 10 last;
Old thoughts and customs pass away,
Preparing for the better day.
And as the months and years are told,
The new becomes the cherished old.
Behold the glorics of today
And know them ere they pass away
RcIoice that now you live tn SEQ
This world not as it lped to be,
but under Freedom skies serene
Better than it has ever been.

Der OF which are nothing moro than

QuiEade is a highly medicated POM
ade that has stood the test of time
1t is real scalp food; it stimulates
and nourishes the roots Of the hair,
causing a natural growth Of long
hair.
/ Quinade is the invention OF an ex-
pert chemist and is made under the
supervision Of. an experienced regis
tered pharmacist. 1t makes the hair
soft and smooth and easy to put UP
in the style desired.
TO get best results from the use of
Quinade it Is necessary to shampoo
the scalp about every two weeks with
Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is
made entirely out Of pure vegetable
oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is
thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lath-
ers very freely. 1T leaves the hair

freshing feeling to the scalp unequal
