Important to Motnara
IS RACE TO BE HAIRLESS?
Prediction Made, Not Without Reason, That Coming Generations
 Will Be Bald.

That the man of the next century will have no hair on his head has been predicted time and again, and the fact that many men under forty are bald seems to indicate that this may be possible, the men of the coming gen. eratfons acquiring badness at an earlier age until finally hairless specimen of the genus homo shall ar rive. But it is through no fault of their own that men are losing their hair, while women are perhaps un- consciously getting ready to become hairless females of the species, and while they may be only working out the will of Providence, they are doing 1t deliberately by "bobbfng" their-hair. The fashion was introduced, it is said, by Russian women, who disguised themselves trying to get out of their bolshevist-ridden country. Coming to the United States, their bobbed hair attracted attention, was first taken un by the bohemian set in New York. and now is rapidly spreading. Some of the older women, not wishing to sacrifice their locks, are said to be wearing false bobbed hair.

Last Night 'sDreanls What They Mean
 ACORNS.

THAT simple little fruit of the oak
 X tree, the acorn, has divided the mystic world of those who profess, or have professed, to read the riddle of dreams into two violently antagon1stic camps. According to one set of pene- trators of the veil the acorn shed by the tree of night through the visions of our slumbers is as much to be de sired as rubies and fine gold; to the other set it iS thing to be abhorred. Those who sit in the camp of the pes- simists and the predictors of evil de- clare that to see an acorn in ones dreams means dire poverty ahead if you don't watch out. Another one walls that 1t means that you are about to commit an frreparable fault. Mot so," comes the cheerful and confident cry from the other camp; the acorn seen in dreams Is one of the happfest auguries; the acorn is one of dream lands most desirable products. Those who say otherwise are night birds of ill-omen, croaking in the leafless dreamtrees whereon aeorns never grew. To dream of acorns, say this school of optimistic mystics, is sure sign of good things ahead; much happiness in store for you. It means. among other good things, that you will derive much gain from your present business, which will increase under your foster ing care. If you dream that you are picking acorns from the tree it means that, after trials, you will have a sure success. If you are now a. laborer, or a worker of any sort, and you dream that you are eating acorns it is sure sign that, from your present condition of toll, you will rise to condition of peace and ease and plenty. When doctors disagree who shall decidei Give us the optimists, every timel

Rann-dOm Reels
By HOWARD L. RANN

most tense moments in married life is when a well-muscled bride of a week places a sector of bread pudding before the man she swore to cherish and protect, and watches him edge away from the table with a crestfallen look.
 This culinary misdemeanor is made chiefly of bread which has died of old age and general exhaustion. After a loaf of bakers bread has been put. in the cake bin by mistake and allowed to remain there until two strong men couldn't slice it with a cross-cut saw, it can always be saved by hammering it into the form of a pudding. After surrounding it with dollars worth of sugar and two pounds of butter it becomes able to stand alone and throw out its chest. True. the law does not compel married men to eat it, but it is cheaper to do so and avoid court costs,
 In some homes bread pudding Is served twice a week, on stated days, and it will be noticed that on those days the restaurants and eafeterias are crowded with apprehensive hus- bands. Once in, while some hus- hand will break into open rebellion, but this does not last long, owing to mans forgiving nature. There Is something about q bread-pudding diet, however, that stamps the victim more indelibly than being tattooed on the left wrist, causing him to glance about furtively at the close of every meal.

Nervous Spells Near Heart Failure
 Eatonic Stopped Ii

MT. c. B. Loats, writing from his home at Lay, Md, says, "I had been taking medicine from four specialists, but believe me, friends, one box of eatonfc has done me more good than all the remedies have ever tried. was in awfu1ly bad shape. About half an hour before meals, I got nerv- ous, trembling and heart pressure so bad I could hardly walk or talk. One box of eatonie stopped it."
 Eatonic quickly produces these tru- ly marvellous results, because 1t takes up the poisons and gases and car ries them right out of the body. Of course, when the cause is removed, ! the sufferer gets well.
 Everyone that wants better health is told to have just little faith-enough to try one box of eatonfc from your own druggist. The cost is trif1e, which he will hand back to you if you are not pleased. Why should you suf- fer another day, when quick, sure re- lief, is waiting for you7 Adv.

REAL REASON FOR HIS TEARS
Teacher FIattered Herself That Young ster Was Crying Because She
 Was Leaving Them.

The graduating class of a Terre Haute school gave the teacher a part ing gift. During the speech she made acknowledging the gift she noticed that one boy was weeping. Then she told how touched she was by the emo- ton displayed by this boy. "What greater tribute could teacher have than to have child cry because he was leaving herr" she later asked the class.
 One of the other boys remained after the others had left. Miss N" :" he confided, "you thought Jim was crying because he was going to leave you, but he wasn't. It was because that was going to be the last time he would see that present. had the hardest time to get his 50 cents to- ward it out of him I ever had getting anything.

Wonder z By GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

WONDER is able to make big men
 w and women of us all. for when we most sincerely feel that we are small and unfmportant, that moment we are in reality biggest and greatest. Look into the Heavens at night. Won der at its magniflcence. Take note of the worlds in Stars as they wink and blink abong themselves millions of miles away. Wonder at them and how needless they seem of you-so small, so tiny-so inf1nftesimal!
 Wonder-but as you Wonder, THINK.
 Look about you-no matter where you may be. There are always things to Wonder at. Every spot of Nature is a Wonder Garden. Every Seed and Tree and Rock and Breathing Life in Nature transformed through the Mind and Effort of Man, is but the further arranging of chances for Wonderment.
 Wonder-bur as you Wonder, THINK.
 AS you go to your Bed tonight, be. fore closing your eyes in Sleep, Won der at it all-Sleep, that for the tint obliterates conscious Life and taket you away from activity and turmoil but to return you again in safety re. charged with Strength and Will. Won, der at the miracle of Sleep.
 Wonder-but as you Wonder THINK.
 Let the power of Wonder that is SC free to you correct your distorted viewpoints. Let it lift and brace you. Let it abdAsh the false Conceit within you. Let it convince you of your hu. manness and lead you through your work in this world, contentsa yitL your lot-an Uncomplainer.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ENVY.

I like to see the flowers grow, -- To see the pansies in row,
 I think well-kept gardens fine, And wish that such a one were mine, But one can't have a stock of flowers Unless he digs and digs for hours. My ground is always bleak and bare, The roses do not flourish there, And where I once sowed poppy seeds Is now tangled mass oe weeds. Pm fond of flowers, but admit, For digging don't care a bit. I envy men whose yards are gay, But never work as hard as they; also envy men who own
 More wealth than I have ever known. I'm like lot of men who yearn For joys that they refuse to earn. You cannot have the joys of work And take, the comfort of a shirk, find the man envy most" Is he, who's longest at his post. could have gold and roses, too, If would work, like those who do.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never
 Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there IS one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for it's remarkable record of success.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in m interview on the subject, made the as- tonishing statement that one reason why 70 many applicants for insurance are re- lected is because kidney trouble is so eommon to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica- tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale 1t all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this Kreat preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. r., for ample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.-Adv.

BREAD PUDDING

It has been observed that women who manufa cture bread pudding very seldom eat enough of 1t to founder anybody.
