FORERUNNERS.


Each of US is a forerunner. Fore
runners of ourselves. All the time we
may be SO positioned that we may be
inspirers of ourselves.
A forerunner is a preparer-one
who goes ahead to get things ready.
He is also running shadow of what
you and l were but yesterday. And in
his busy going ahead, he is an accumu-
lation of both our good and bad. He
is our pictured depression.
1t is good thing to keep careful
track of ourselves as forerunners. To
be the kind that We would like to be.
If we go ahead and get things ready
for those who come after us, it doesn'=
matter much where we pass. We have
done our work-we have eteFnally
linked our hearts and efforts into that
of all time.
Secretary Stanton, on being inform
ed that the great Lincoln had breathed
his last. turned and walked from the
room with these words on his lips:
NOW he belongs to the world" And
the other day read the comment of a
writer about a great public man, that
soon he would be a part of history.
We are children today. looking up
to others for guidance and leadership
but tomorrow someone is going to
look up to us.
1t all depends upon what kind of a
forerunner we have been
And the measure our present hap
piness and our future worth is bound
to depend upon how highly we have
valued our opportunities and made use
of our visions.
Try to be forerunner of beauty,
happiness, and usefulness. Try to as
sociate yourself with the beginnings Of

JUST FOLKS

BY EDGAR a. GUEST.

OOOD oOc1NE Sc-
If possessed shop or store,
I'd drive the grouches off my floor;
I'd never let some gloomy guy
Offend the folks who came to buy;
I'd never keep a boy or clerk
with mental toothache at his work,
Nor let a man who draws my pay
Drive customers of mine away.
I'd treat the man who takes my time
And spends a nickel or a dime,
With courtesy and make him feel
That / was pleased to close the deal,
Because tomorrow, who can tell?
He may want stuff / have to sell,
And in that case then glad he'll be
To spend his dollars ali with me.
The reason people pass one door
To patronize another store,
Is not because the buster place
Has better silks or gloves or lace,
Or cheaper prices, but it les
In pleasant words and smiling eyes;
The only difference, I believe,
Is in the treatment, folks receive.
It is good business to be fair.
To keep a bright and cheerful air
About the place, and not show
Your customers how much you know;
Whatever any patron did
I'd try to keep my temper hid,
And never let him spread along
The word that have did him wrong.

Girls, Don't Wash
 Your Face

Use Liska cold cream instead (you have never used anything like it). Just try it once. and you will never be without it. Soap and water has a tendency to make the skin rough. and does not cleanse the skin as thor oughly as Liska cold cream. To prove it make this test: Wash your face with soap and water. dry thoroughly, then apply Liska cold cream, massage it well into the skin, then wipe off the superfluous cream with a soft white cloth; examine the cloth and see how much dirt has accumulated thereon. Liska cold cream cleanses- softens and beautifies the skin. For sunburn or after a dusty auto trip there is nothing like it It's fine after sshaving, too. Let hubby or brother try it. Just compare Liska cold cream with any other you have ever used and you will need no further ar gument to convince you that it's the best. It's put up in tubes, the only sanitary way. Try it tonight. You will be delighted. At toilet counters everywhere including Kimban & Hu- lett and the Owl Drug Go.

 Chrys Tries to Rescue Me From
 Depressing Mood
 My husband didn't betray the least feeling when I told him that the much desired heir to the Lorimer millions was going to arrive at his brother Jim's house. Bob's indifference broke my heart. I knew that he must be disappointed, that once we would have talked over our mutual disappoint- ment, and my hand shook as I poured his coffee. I set my lips in a stiff show girl smile. I was enduring the most tremendous trial of my married life-and my husband couldn't see how I sufferedl
 Was he blind to my grief because another woman filled his mind7 tried to put the horrid idea aside. Then addressed my husband:
 I'm afraid I really was horrid to Ann when she told me. but sent my congratulations to Jim"

TYPE OF JAcosEAN CHAIR

The Jacobean period was a slow change from the Tudor or Elizabethean period. It is of especial interest be- cause the first furniture brought over to the colonies and copied by the American cabinet makers was Jacob can. It was built along straight lines, but the lack of curves was alleviated by the rich and heavy carving. A rich. grandiose heaviness prevailed in Ja- cobean times. both in architecture and furniture. Oak was invariably used.
 The illustration shows chair of the Jacobean period. made about 1860.
 In the best modern Jacobean sets, oak is used as this lends itself particu- larly we'll to this style of furniture.
