YOUR BEAUTY
HURRY AND WORRY ENEMIES TO LONELINESS

and arrive punctually, without
hurry or worry at your office,
classroom or start upon your
household tasks.
Let your head save your
HEELS the old saying goes. Calm
thought will prevent hurry and
enable you to linger with fresh
energy over your daily tasks.
And the fact remains that un-
less we do our work with enjoy
ment and thoroughness we can
not do our best or realize the
best results from what we do.
Think first. Then you will not
overcrowd your noon hour, but
enjoy a leisurely luncheon ap-
propriate to the weather, your
work and particular personal
need. You will saunter back on
the shady side, enjoy a bit of
brisk walking and most likely
find time for an errand.
Think first and you will man.
age your afternoon so cleverly
that your systematic work will
be finished on time. Clear think
ing will also send you to bed an
hour earlier, though that may
mean eliminating a bit of gossip
ing, idle dawdling or other Gus
tomary delay. So you may easily
manage your nightly cleansing
and identifying toilette and still
enjoy eight hours of sound sleep.
Last but not least-indeed, the
best remedy of all for hurry and
it's accompanying worry-place
on your bedside table at night, a
precious little volume of wise
philosophy. Next morning as
soon as you open your eyes to a
new day, feed your mind with
calm wisdom for the day, by five
minutes reading of the precious
message of this master spirit"
Think of what you are reading
and apply 1t all day.
What has beauty to do with
hurry? Nothing-nothing at all.
Hurry consorts with distress and
ugliness. But eliminate hurry
and you will add to your beauty
of mind and beauty of body.

-HE slight trembling in her
voice found its way to his
- heart. He could not stand
before its ring of weakness, OF
supplication. Blindly he found
his hat, blindly he found the hotel
corridor, blindly found the street
with its sharpness and dreary
emptiness.
Her letter reached him two days
later.
Mary's Letter.
my dear Philip: Our marriage
cannot be solemnized. / have con-
suited my spiritual adviser, Father
Gregory, and my duty has been
clearly pointed out. You must
know that the Catholic Church
stands unalterably opposed to di-
vorce, and refuses to sanction a
marriage between persons, one OF
whom has been divorced. Your
own church is nearly as strict in
this matter, and you would find
few Episcopal clergymen and even
few ministers Of other denomina-
lions, who would be willing to per-
form the ceremony of marriage
between you and any woman.
Our Lord expressly and unequi-
vocably states what should be our
guidance in this matter, and even
should I disregard the commands
Of my own church, I should find
no. authority which would justify
my marriage with you. Your
oath, taken before God. binds you
to your wife until death do You
part, and whether right or wrong
I cannot see that any process of
law warrants you breaking that
oath.
"I have no reproaches to make,
none are deserved. There is moth
ing to be said. / am willing to
believe that you proceeded in
ignorance, that there was no in
tention of deception. We must
face the situation resolutely and
seek fortitude from heaven. I be-
lieve profoundly IN the compass
sion of Almighty God, and am
confident that His purpose will be
made clear, and that we both will
find comfort in rsking our bur-
!. dened hearts to Him.
You win help me by making
no further effort to see me or
write me. While your wife lives.
there must be no further COM
munication between US. Any eff
fort on your part to shake my
resolution would be a patent dis.
regard Of my earnest wish, only
to be construed as a deliberate ef-'
fort to tempt me to sin.
81 wish you every happiness,
Philip, and hope that you will
find comfort and consolation
where they have been so freely
promised. Your friend,
MARY ROWLAND"
Philip was stunned. His mind
refused to accept the fact that
she had broken with him. He
stared DULY at her letter, read
and re-read it, folded it carefully
and put it in his pocket, then
started out to walk, hardly know
ing where he went-walking,
walking, walking. His steps led
him to the Preside, and he
crossed the golf links, to follow
the road out beyond the concealed
forts. Down the steep hillside he
scrambled through loose sand and
tough wind-blown brush, till he
reached the strip of white beach
with its winding surf-and here,
flung out upon the sand, the scud
flying in his face, tossing his wet
hair, the breakers rolling thunder
=.ously toward him, flattening
Zthemselves thin, and rushing hiss
ing across the interval that lay
between, his grief overwhelmed

Four Years of Stomach Trouble
Relieved by Three Bottles
of O'BRIEN'S
Prominent Medford Man Indorses Old
Stomach Remedy.

That prominent men do not
hesitate to testify to the benefits
to be derived from high-grade
article is readily demonstrated
here. James Norton, Medford.
Mass, widely known in that
town, writes this about O'Brien's
for Dyspepsia:
1T gives me great pleasure to
state. my experience with
O'Brien's for Dyspepsia. / have
been troubled for four years with
a case of Indigestion, and have
tried several different remedies,
but they were Of no use. Some
one suggested that try

Especially when all you need

After the scud came the wet fog,

muffled intermittent bark; the
light beyond the old fort occasion

GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA
URGES THE REPEAL OF
STATE CONSTABULARY LAW

Since the state eonstabulary bill has
been re-introduced in the Illinois state
legislature, those interested in the
defeat of the measure have busted
themselves in ascertainfng what the
people think of the cossacks in the
states where they are in active opera
ten. The following from the COVER
nor of Colorado indicates that the
chief executive of that state regards
the so-caleld rural police as being of
but little Importance:
On page 10 of the inaugural adj
dress of Governor William l.. Sweet
of Colorado, delivered before the Oath
General Assembly of that state in
Denver, January 9th, 1923, on the
subject of The Colorado Rangers,
Estate Military Police), he made the
following recommendations.
"A Department of Safety was
created in 1917 when the world war
was in progress. This act provided
that the department should cease to
exist within ninety days after the con-
clusion of peace between the United
States and the Imperial German Gov
oInment.
The 1921 Legislature amended the
law turning this Department into the
Colorado Rangers" with sunerin-
tendents, a deputy superintendent,
captains, lieutenants, sergeants, cor
porals and rangers, all of which has
entailed very large expenditure of
money. | believe the existence of the
rangers for police purposes and their
use to supplant civil officers is wrong,
because 1t depriyes our people of the
right OF local government. The
Ranger law has created an overlap
ping OF duty, a divided assumption of
authority, which has resulted in fric-
ton, an absence of cooperation, a lack
OF efficiency and heavy burden upon
our already overburdened taxpayers.
l favor the repeal of the Ranger
Law and the consequent saving of
taxes necessary to maintain it, plae-
ing the responsibility for the enforce
ment of law and order in the hands of
the sheriff, constables, police officers
and other county and city officials
charged with this duty, and the Gov
ernor as the Chief Executive of the
state, backed by the National Guard,
and, If necessary, by the army of the
United States. The power and author
lty will thus be distributed as pro-
Ylded IN our constitution
These recommendations speak for
themselves. The reasoning and logic
are unanswerable, and because they
are based on facts developed through
actual experience, their appeal is
irresistible to every intelligent man
and woman in our state, in dealing
with the same question that is being
so persistently kept before the people
Of our state by the same elements of
our citizenship in Illinois that were
responsible for this enormous un-
necessary burden of taxation on the
people Of Colorado, which at the same
time not only did not prevent crime
OF raise to higher standard Of eff
cheney, law enforcement in that state,
but according to the Governors own
statement, vitiated and deteriorated
the standard of law enforcement in
Colorado, besides resulting in the peo-
pie of that state being denied their
fundamental rights as American citi-
zens, the right of local self govern
ment
