YOUR TROUBLES

In q court the other uGy husband
and wife asked a judge to arbitrate
family quarrel. The wife had asked
that the husband be arrested, and he
had made a typical reply. The Judge
asked them both to sit with him on
the bench for an hour or so and lis
ten to the other cases that came be-
fore him. They sat there silently,
witnessing the troubles, problems and
unhappiness of others; saw so much
distress that they were ashamed and
apologized to the Judge for bothering
him with their petty differences.
This is a story told by Golfers
Weekly, which adds to the obvious
moral that "the best way to get rid OF
our troubles is to find out what other
people are suffering.
All of us have troubles, but most OF
us would have little to complain if il
we knew what others are bearing w
under.

"But the Russians themselves" he

has come. And it hasn't. People

masses in the city. Industries are in
desperate shape.

THE HUNTING BOOBS

1t may seem superfluouS to sound
a warning about the hunting season,
but casualties are already being re-
ported so freely that the annual re-
marks may be in order.
OF all the accidents which could be
prevented, the hunting accident is the
most uncalled for.
There is the man who takes his
neighbor for rabbit.
There is the grcenhorn who thinks
the guide was a deer.
There is the seasonable old hard
shell who drags his gun after him
through the fence.
There is the dub who doesn't know
it is loaded, and the one who is sure
that the safety catch is up. and the
proud guy who carries IA loaded CUR
over his shoulder through the thicket
with other men behind him.
There is the fool who rests his CUR
on the bottom of the humping Lizzi,
of the rocking duck boat. muzzle to
ward him. and all the rest of the nut,
who, if they had used the care abou
their guns that they do filling theil
pipes, would have hurt neither them
selves nor others.
The warning is for these. Tn,

AMATEUR BOOZE HORRORS

1t was certainly nightmarish pic
ture of amateur brewing and distill.
ing that Major Haynes, federal pro-
hibition commissioner, drew recently
in a message to the American Public
Health Association.
He had found iodine, a deadly
poison, used to color bootleg" liquor
and give it "kick." He has found
many stills operating on garbage,
with half-rotten banana skins, water
melon rinds. potato peelings, etc, ap-
pearing In the mash.
And the home distilling is not much
better than that done for profit. Ig-
IIorance of proper practice and inabil-
ity on the part of amateurs to keep
their stills at a proper temperature
result in the production Of ether,
fusel oil and other highly poisonous
liquids instead of alcohol.
Often there is produced an aldehyde
which pickles" the drunkard's diges-
tive apparatus.
Some doctors say that the drinking
of the stuff now being made and dis
tributed is producing an alarming
crop of diabetes.
The surroundings of the illicit still
are nauseating. too. Some stills have
been found hidden under hog pens
Nearly all the bootleg stills are filthy
as we'll as unscientific. Some Of
them use lead pipes instead of cop
per, thus adding another poison to
their devel's brew.
Brewing and distilling, whether al
coholic or otherwise, are complicated
arts, requiring experience, skill anC
honesty. The only safe way is to nc.
cept no amateur or illicit brew or dis
tillation of any kind.

YOUR BOYS DREAMS.

Artists have often painted pic
lures suggesting the dreams of a
country boy. They portray him in
homcly working clothes. his eyes
fixed on some far away vision of
lofty business buildings and bustling
commercial scenes, as he imagine
himself becoming parsonage of
wealth and power.
Such boy is not commonly of
much use around home. His thought
is too remote. 1t can't see oppor-
tunities near at hand. Usually his
visions come to little.
The way to deal with that boy is
to stimulate his imagination and
ambitions by visions within his reach
Let him have his little enterprises OF
his own. his garden, his chickens, his
pigs or calves. Then instead of dream
ing of himself as a captain of indus
try in distant New York or Chicago
he will be thinking of the prizes he
could win in the juvenile exhibit anG
what he could do if he had farm oi
country business of his own.

YOUR THOUGHTS CONTROL

When shivering in the cold this
winter do not let YOUR thoughts dwell
too much upon shivering. That is op-
pressive.
Turn them toward the warm and
sunny days of another summer. That
would be anticipation.
Dwelling too much upon disagree
able things shuts out the brightest
side of life. 1t STILES enthusiasm and
renders impotent many of the best
efforts of mankind.
We have but one life to live up6r
this earth, and that life will be as We
make it.
Bright spots should be cultivated
until they compose the greater part
of existence. Dark ones should bt
eradicated-and then forgotten.
Shiver-but think of the sunny day:

NOT A'BADGE OF DISHONOR

A city paper lays stress upon the
fact that great many of the crimi-
mails of this country are of foreign
birth.
The editer of that sheet might also
have stated, with justice, that hun
dreds of thousands of our best citi-
zens are also of foreign birth.
There are two vital causes which
contribute to the present state of law
lessness on the part of certain for
eigners now resident in this country
First, our immigration laws are en-
tirely too lax. Foreigners are admit
ted without proper investigation as tC

HEATHFUL COUNTRY LIFE

HEATHFUL COUNTRY LIFE
Many a millionaire in his elegant
city home suffers tortures from his
impaired digestion or other ailments
He has acquired an uncounted hear
of golden dollars, but he paid ar
unreasonable price for them. The
artificial pace of city living has per
manently impaired his health.
He goes out into the. country and
looks with envy at the farm hand
who tramps vigorously along the
road cheerfully whistling a merry
tune. Such fellow may not have
dollar in the bank, but he has a
perfectly functioning body. Under
the animating influence of out door
life, he views the future with conf
dencc. The millionaire would give
away all his possessions and make a
fresh start, if he could get that sound
physique in exchange.
City occupations usually confine
people in crowded and stuffy build
ings. The business man or mechanic
breathes contaminated air loaded with
poisons from the human hive in which
he is condemned to live. He catches
infections, as his body, fed on vitiated
air, lacks the power to throw off the
attack of disease.
Country people are not always
healthy, because some of them are
careless in regard to sanitation and
healthful living. But those people
who show reasonable intelligence in
these matters avoid such perils. City
folks call the farmers life laborious
but it's ideal for physical develop
ment. Even if country dwellers work
indoors, they can have good ventila-
ton and avoid the enfeeblement that
comes from bad air. If you would
take 10 country town people, and 1C
city folks, dress them in the same
kind of clothes. and line them up op'
posite each other, you would see q
sharp difference between the tive
groups, and you could pick out the
country crowd by their more vigor'
ious appearance.
The so called pleasures Of city life
are mere sham and tinsel compared
with the satisfaction Of good health
which is blessing beyond any price

KINDNESS PAYS

In an interesting article in one of
the current magazines Robert Page
Lincoln says:
kindness to animals pays big divi-
dends in clear conscience, broadens
the mind and includes more than hu-
man beings in the great perspective
of life. Have you ever noticed a
farm where the chickens came and
picked corn from your hand, where
the cattle came up to be petted or to
playfully butt their heads against
you, where the horse seeks a lump of
sugar in your pocket, where the fam
lily cat sits on the porch and rises
to rub against your leg as you come
up instead of darting under the
house? II you have ever found such
Il place, there pitch your camp anG
warm your soul, too, before the fires
of kindness that pervade the place
There are such hooks in this selfish
world. If you find them you are
fortunate"
True words.
The whole history of the rae,
proves that kindness pays. 1t pays il
many ways,
We hear great deal Of Americ;
about the matter of things paying.
When this word is used one thinks in
stantly of money. But when we thinl
of reward, money is the last thing W,
should consider.
Mr.. Lincoln says that kindness t.
animals pays big dividends in
clear conscience, broadens the min,
and includes more than human being
in the great perspective of life"

1t is not a crime to be poor, and it
is not always a disgrace to be unable
to pay ones debts at maturity.
But it is not playing the game
sQuarely to live extravagantly while
putting off the payment of bills.
1t is not playing the game squarely
to ride around in a fine automobile
while standing off the grocer and the
butcher and the hired help, all of
whom need their money.

want others to play fairly with you.

CURB THE TONGUE

1t requires years of correct living
to build up an unblemished reputa-

Yet people who otherwise lead ex-

that starts stories that grow into
mountains of scandal that envelop
and crush many an innocent person.
People who cannot curb their

THE UNPUBLISHED KILLERS

THE UNPUBLISHED KILLERS
Killing people in New York City is
usually regarded as serious matter
unless it is done with an automo-
bile.
The chief medical examiner of the
city reports that with 1858 persons
killed by automobiles on the city
streets in the year ending July 81,
four hundred of them admittedly
through criminal negligence, not one
of the offenders has been punished or
held responsible.
Here is surely curious state of
affairs and one which has its conn
terpart on smaller scale in many
another city. Automobile drivers
habitually berated and condemned for
careless and illegal driving, and yet
when one of them is guilty of Grim
inal act he is seldom punished and
few people seem to expect him to be.
The large number of killings in
New York and the failure to hold the
offenders accountable obviously go
together. If the guilty were punished
these inexcusable killings would
cease.
What is needed everywhere is less
loose criticism of automobilists as a
class and more effective punishment
of the few who deserve it.

Because a man has reputation of
