Better to Break Now Than Later

ed to wait for him he has lost his
interest in her. He has outgrown
her-his new contacts have changed
mis- interests-and his affection for
her is dead. But he feels that since
he has kept her from marrying some
other man he must make good on his
promise.
1t is most unfair to both to go
through with a marriage OF that kind.
Break the engagement right now BY
all means. You may be sure that d
quick break now will hurt and humii-
ate her less than the realization las
er that she has been holding you
only through pity.
Then, Too mere is the possibility
that she may feel that same way
about you. If you don't phone her
] or didn't see her for a week, it is
likely that after her first shock OF
nurt vanity she will shlug a shoulder
and go off to the movies with SOME
nice neighbor boy, who has been hop
ing for just that sort of a break
to occur that he might take immedi-
ate advantage.
Even if her hurt goes deeper, il
can't go as deep as the pain she
will feel when she wakes suddenly to
the realization that you married her
only because you hadn't the courage
to break the engagement.
Have a frank talk with her. Or
skip a week now and then, and stop
the love-making. She'll understand.
Women don't deceive themselves much
where the affection and love of
man are concerned.

Women are wrecking the House of
David
Old Benjamin Purnell, founder of
the peculiar colony at Benton Harbor,
Mich, finds himself under arrest and
facing charges which may end his ca
reer as q prophet, all because he VIC
lated his own tenets and began to
toy too much with female members of
his house.
Purnell in 1908 labelled himself
the Seventh Messenger of the King
dom of God and set up the House
of David. He managed to bring 76O
persons into his fold
Upon joining the House of David
a member turned al of his property
over to the general fund and agreed
to work without pay. In return the
House Of David agreed to furnish
clothing, shelter and food. The
prophet Purnell, ruled with an iron
hand.
The members vowed never to touch
meat, tobacco or liquor They ruled
against normal married life.
House Of David's baseball team be-
came noted throughout the country.

Judge BOrtOn Sights Thomas

In Address High School Pupils Glasgow Judge Casts Re-

VentiOn.

GLASGOW. ~ In the course of an
address before the high school stu
dents here last week on political his
tory if the times of the Constitution.
Judge G. d. Borton, took a few slams
at the men who were leaders in the
American revolution such as Patrick
Henry and Thomas Jefferson. The au-
dience did not approve of the att
tude of the Valley county jurist but
passed over his remarks because they
knew that he was a cOngenital reac-
tionary and probably regarded the
great men he sighted as radicals"
Some of the main features of his
address were that the Is states had a
great deal of discussion over the ap-
POrtiOning Of representation. Benja-
min Franklin made the motion in the
convention, that it be adjourned for
three days in order that members
be able to talk the question over with

About 1lOuE"
Health
Things You Should Knorz
DIET AND AGE

"That is one mans antidote is
another mans poison" refers more
to the age Of the man, than to the
matter Of chemistry. Age has its
limitations of capability; to go be-
yond the limit may be very dan
gerous for the man grown old.
Almost every day we read Of the
death of man, ffty-five to sixty
five, who was in good health ap-
parently, the evening before. The
report generally Is, that he ate
heartily the hast meal preceding the
attack of cerebral hemorrhage; the
conclusion l draw is, he might have
lived right along, if he had only fed
according to the needs of his body.
No aging or aged man needs more
than one-third of the food of hich
he usually partakes.
The young, active man, strenu-
ously employed, may eat quantities
and qualities of food that astound
and feel no inconvenience there
after; his capabilities are almost
unlimited; his digestive apparatus
is new; he has the ability to cast
aside the elements that he does not
need; with the old man or woman:
1t is a different matter.
l once saw a woman of So. in
apparent good heath, topple over
from her dinner-table, unconscious;
she had eaten at least a half
gallon. She became conscious sew
eral days later, from her cerebral
attack. She remained paralyzed in
the right arm and limb, for eight
years-then, died from a second
stroke" If she had but refrained
from that first meal! Nothing
comes by chance; there is always a
cause.

It just could not be beat.
So back, again, Josiah went,

He thought such bargains couldn

But from that little wheat he took

And Well, I guess he can.
A dollar twenty, now for wheat,
Sure makes the flour cheap,
Three sixty for a hundred pounds.
That price is hard to beat.
And you can get just what you
want,
And they will take your wheat
And makes no difference what you
get,
You'll find it can't be beat.
