Use any recipes you like—but remember to use one-third less of Cottolene than you would of but ter, lard or any other shortening. Cottolene not only makes better, lighter and entirely digestible bis cuits, pies, cakes and other pas tries, but it always “creams-up ” beautifully,blending perfectly with the flour or sugar. You cannot “experiment” with Cottolene.

FAlRBANK^m CHICAGO I If recent reports, published in the j daily papers, may be trusted, more peo- j pie are killed and injured on Sunday j than on any other day in the week. Ac- i cording to the New York Times there | were killed in and near that city on | Sundays during last summer seventy- three persons, and two hundred and . iifty were seriously injured by Sunday j Accidents in the same district. We cannot suppose that the desecra tion of the Sabbath is singled out for livine judgment beyond all other sins. , Sabbath-breakers are not sinners above all who dwell in New York. Why then should the day of rest show ! such an increase of casualities as com pared with the accidents occurring on other days? It is because multiplied thousands are turning Sunday into a holiday for reckless pleasure-seeking. Doubtless many of these accidents come from the speeding of automobiles. The Sabbath is the day selected by : many people to rush hither and thither | from town to country and back aguin, i and for rynning to all sorts of pleasure- • grounds and sporting places. They I crowd the highways, and thus multiply ! the chances for collisions with one an other and with other more worthy peo- I pie going in the way with proper ob jects in view. ’ Moreover, there is a certain reckless ness which characterizes a Sabbath- breaker running an automobile on Sun day. Driving an automobile on any day seems to beget in thp driver a certain disregard of the safety and the rights of other people: a man who is courte ous and considerate when walking on the streets loses a certain amount of his sense of justice and propriety when j he lays his hand on the steering gear | of a. machine. A mania for speed takes ; possession of him, and a kind of fiendish indifference to the rights of other peo ple fills him. He will imperil the lives of even women and children, as well as his own safety, in his mad riding. When he decides, to turn his back upon the Churches and profane the Sabbath in order to gratify his passion for speeding, this spirit of recklessness throws off all restraints and becomes more conscienceless than on any other da\\ Hence the multiplication of death- dealing accidents on the Sabbath. But automobiling is only one of many ways by which thousands are violating the sanctity of the day of rest, and in ducing in themselves and others those dispositions which induce the heedless ness and crime from which so many deaths and injuries arise. A man can not engage in as dangerless a game as golf even on the Sabbath without' suffering a certain moral deterioration which makes him less regardful for tne sanctity of human life than he ought to be. Sunday dinner parties at fashionable hotels are drawing pien and women away from the Churches, and lowering their religious vitality in a dangerous degree. So also Sunday concerts—(some times miscalled “Sacred Concerts’’)—are damaging the moral tone of very many people. These and other things are manifesta tions of a wide-spread disposition to de throne God and deify pleasure; and noth ing is more hard and selfish and reckless than a life absorbed in pleasure-seeking: it neither fears God nor regards man. Beneath its imperious demands all things sacred go down. Of course, all these popular forms of Babbath desecration are defended by plausible pretexts. No evil, however vile, was ever without apologists and defend ers. Baalism in Israel, during the reign &7i Jbu&wteLJtr (P£jouu, (^AjCtsyu?

ROSECOO P'RFUME CO. Bex2l4 Afoodsboro.Md THE NOBLEST PHILOSOPHY—THE LOFTIEST PATRIOTISM. It was a forceful paragraph, written by a good penman, who said; “Fight wrong always, and fight it bravely. Help along every good cause and do it with all your hearts.” There are a great many good people who are afflicted with timidity. They will endure evil legislation and tamely submit to wrongdoing without public protest, because they are afraid of no toriety. They are satisfied with say ing: “Yes, somebody ought to come out and talk it up,” but they are content to whisper it behind their closet doors, and do nothing more to help the man or woman who is not afraid to ask other good people to unite in a public protest or vote down the nuisance. And the evildoers are very happy that so many good people wear this sort of a muz zle! They make a point of saying, “That fellow is a sap-head, or that woman had better be at home darning her husband’s stockings.” These are two of their stock arguments. If they can ridicule the reformer or cast slurs on the woman who complains of bad laws or upon places of vice and crime they have won a strong point in their game. When it was very unusual for a wom an to stand on the lecture platform in Georgia two or more decades ago, and plead for protection to .motherhood and the children that were starved and de stroyed by saloon influence there were plenty of saloon keepers who were frank enough to say: “I am ashamed of that woman who is trying to be a man. If she was my wife I’d take her and carry her back home until she was able to behave herself.” I have been told that men somtimes came to hear my tem perance appeals for the mother and her child who confessed they were there to make fun of me to a circle of listeners and prepared to hiss me if they dared to do it. Nowadays there are multitudes of good women who not only help in every good cause, church or state, but who light the wrong bravely in public as semblies. They are to be reckoned with whenever a good cause is violently as sailed by those who make gain by houses of ill-fame or gambling dens. Agitation hag wrought this change. The courage of good hearts has warm ed timid ones into action. The good causes have been bravely assisted and the attitude of evildoers has changed in many lines of action, j They are not so aggressive. They are I placed in the defensive. What does our ] Heavenly Father feed us for if we can- ! not range ourselves with those who j love righteousness and stand bravely for the irconvictions? GIRLS! filDLS! TRY IT, THE QUESTION OP RACE SUICIDE IN UNITED STATES. i I have been in this “earthly taberna- | cle” considerably over three-score and ! ten years. I have been an observer of ! conditions and events for a greater part of that time. One of the things that j has been pressed upon my notice and my convictions is the fact that wealth ’militates against big families. If it wore not for the middle classes, so- i called, and the very poor also the small number of children In the average fam ily would create surprise in studying statistics of births, etc. I observe that 1 the most of the very well-to-do people rarely have more than one child, if they have even that one. ‘ And this does not mean that they use violence to reduce the number. They are intent on other projects, of gain, recreation, etc. It does not mean that they are not fond of the one child. They are too often foolishly indulgent. But the fact remains that the con tinual population of our country de pends on the poorer classes of society. It is women of poor homes who are mothers of a “house full of children. It is from these humble homes that the industrial workers of the nation must be recruited if we expect to keep a ma jority of Anglo-Saxon citizens. It is well understood that poor emigrants are prolific as to children. Go to the slums of New York or Chicago and you find the foreign element with large fam ilies! With the new income tax law it is the irony of fate that rich Americans must shovel out the money to assist these hordes of foreign-born parents in rais ing children, while their own homes are meagerly supplied with descendants and heirs for their own property. Their huge wealth is often barren of chil dren to inherit. 1 am not attempting in this article to explain causes of “race suicide,” except to say that the moth ers of early days were vigorous, indus trious, active and free from abnormal habits of life that largely prevail in our modern homes. Seventy-five per cent of our young married women in this era of our history are sickly, and often in sanitariums and familar with the .surgeon’s scalpel at some period of their child-bearing opportunity. The coming mothers of our white race of Anglo-Saxon lineage must come from the rural sections, in the mountains and w'iregrass, or the race will die out. of Ahab and Jezebel, was defended as a social and political necessity, and men who opposed it, like Elijah, were ac counted “troublers of Israel.” English literature preserves for us the most in* society during the reign of Charles II. It is not strange, therefore, to hear men say of these demoralizing and de structive profanations of the Sabbath in our day, “We work very hard all the week, and we need the recreation which we can have only on Sunday. We need a breath of country air, etc.” The truth is that they have been pursuing pleasure all the week with such a monstrous mo mentum that they cannot stop when Sunday comes; but do rather run with an accelerated speed over the Sacred day. So the Sabbath is no longer a day of rest for them, but a day of rampant rest lessness. In fact, multitudes ha we forgotten the value of worship in God’s house as a means of rest. There is a restlulness in withdrawing the mind from all worldly and temporal things and fixing the at tention upon things spiritual and eternal, which •cannot be found in ay other way. I his day William E. Gladstone was the busiest man in Great Britain, if not in the world, and Mr# Gladstone found in worship his rest by which his strength was continued beyond four-score years. He attended church services twice every Sunday with scrupulonus regularity and derided with the name of “Oncers” those people who went to church once only on the Sabbath. Some preachers are so eager to secure popularity with modish Sabbath-breakers that they echo from their pulpits the specious pleas made to justify the pro fanations of the holy day in pleasure seeking. Such preachers are as silly as they are sinful; they are really pleading for the scattering of their congregations on Sunday, whether they know It or not. They are sawing off, between themselves and the tree, the limb upon which they are sitting, and are thus planning for a neck-breaking fall. If they only were hurt by the senseless proceedings, the matter would not be so bad; but they help to draw men aw|y from the min istry of wiser and better preachers than themselves; they ae doing all they can to diminish the number of men and women in the Churches on Sunday. Another evil which is contributing to drive people from the Churches is the converting of our places of worship into arenas for all sorts of strenuous struggles in behaif of manifold reform schemes. The restful element in wor ship is being displaced to make room for ranting agitators and rabid contro versies. Jesus called a tired world to come unto him for rest; but many Churches, where it has been supposed men might go to find Him, are no longer places of worship, but halls in which the cries of the market-place and the contests of the forum are continued by clerical declaimers. This also in vanity and vexation of the spirit. Let all concerned know that men must have a day of rest or they will run to ruin. This is not the protest of Puritanism, but the proclamation of one of the plainest lessons of history. We cannot go on with this matter of Sabbath profanation as we have been going on for some years past. It means personal and social and political de struction in the end. We must have one day in seven devoted to getting the feverishness out of our over-excited lives. We must have a day of re£t. Even the Editor of as godless and frivulous sheet as the periodical called “Life” feels called upon to speak a word on this subject. In a recent issue of that paper he says: Sunday has developed from a day of rest to a day of restlessness. On Sunday the great God Speed holds high carnival. The churches are almost too slow to keep up with the pace set. Nothing exceeds like Sunday. Some wholesome way of suppress ing its homicidal activities ought to be invented. If it could only be arrested and locked up. It is our worst offender. And how good it used to be! What has been gained by exchanging the Sabbath, about which our most blessed memories gather, for the rush ing, restless Sunday which so many people demand today? If men and wom en who were brought up under more re ligious conditions than those now pre valent have become so godless by pleas ure-seeking, what will be the end of their children—provided they have any? Their offspring will, go to disgrace and destruction, and some beter stocks, from the Sabbath-observing rural dis tricts, will take their place. THE EVENING STORY WHITE CHARMEUSE Copy 1 glit. 1013.

It is an old lady’s opinion, and may be worth very little to the public, but I am impressed that the time is coming (how long, of colrse, I am not able to declare) when the humfln stomach will not be loaded down with all sorts of drugs, many of them poisons if given iri large doses. The lining of the human stomach is a very delicate affair and easily irri tated. At least seven-tenths of complaining \ people will tell you they have “stomach i trouble.” I will write down the names j of some drugs that sound familiar, and : with which many stomachs are more f than acquainted. Aconite, gelsemium, j ipecac, digitalis, ergot, belladonna, chin- ; cona, lobelia, arnica, sarsaparilla, buchu, ! ginsing. veratrUm, jalap, senna, ginger, j rhubard. nux vomica. calomel and opium! This is a familiar list, and a short one. and every single one of them are made into pills, capsules, liquids, or compounded into mixtures, and every one has been swallowed in greater or less quantities by human stomachs! If we could lift the roofs and look down on the people who are taking these medicines by the drops or the spoon fuls, we might reasonably wonder if we had not been diseasing human stomachs instead of curing them. The doctor very often experiments with them. Careless druggists are sometimes handling them and careless people very often dose them out to sick ones. The wonder is that the human stom ach lias been able to fight against them in a thousand cases! If we were able to count up flow many people took a dose of calomel last night, or swallowed a blue plJl to “help the liver,” we would not wonder that so many drug makers o.nd drug sellers get rich, and yet cal omel is made out of a poisonous sub stance and if* taken continually will make mouths sore and rot out the gums! Opium in some form is being used night and day, and we all know that the opium habit is worse than the liquor habit when it is fastened on the victims. They will lie, and they will steal and the habit is the cause of both vices. Just stop and think about these drugs for & little while, won't you? Pick Out the Dyspeptic You Can Tell Them Anywhere and Especially if You See One Eat A Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablet Will Di gest Any Meal. One of the saddest sights at a roy ally rich dinner is to see a man or a woman unable to eat because of dys pepsia. It Is really a crime to continue this martyrdom when all one has to do is to eat a little Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab let. “Too Bad.” Just carry a jj-fjri tablet in your Era purse and after each meal eat it gS;;- as you would a Jjpc- peppermint. It mS will digest the egg meal and surely convince you that food will not hurt you. One grain of the ingredients which compose a Stuart’s Tablet will digest 3,000 grains of fish, soup, coffee, ice cream, meats, vegetables and pastries. The whole idea of this great natural digester is to aid nature to do her work without exhaustion and it certainly complishes this result. Stuart’s Dyspep sia Tablets are our best known remedy for ail stomach and dys pepsia troubles. It is positively won derful see the way one of these little tablets will digest a meal. And no one can real ize it until one has used these tablets. 1 ,6 (7 Used to be Like Him.” Every drug store sells Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab lets and sells them in huge quanti ties. No matter where you are lo cated you may go to any druggist and buy a 50c box that will last you a long time. Ab- Be solutely convince you dyspepsia can be prevented. Many thousands of people use these tablets occasionally just to keep their digestion always perfect. If you stay up laite or overeat then take a tablet before bedtime; there will be no hor rible dreams or bad mouth taste. Go to your druggist now and buy a 50c box and go armed against any ldnd of stomach trouble.--(Advt.) I < "I Know I’ll Sick.” ed slimpsy and unattractive. But she couldn’t afford chameuse, even for the one gand event in her life, and she could afford the modest messaline. Any way Aline just then was too happy to be seriously perturbed over such unim portant things as textures. Jim would never know whether she wore hand-em broidered. chiffon or cheesecloth, she laughed self-consciously. “Cut off nine yards, Stella,” she said, “and don’t for get the discount, and be sure and send it down to the pass-out desk so I can get it tonight. That dressmaker is rushed, and I’ve got to get it to her this week or she'll have too many ahead.” Then Aline scoted back to the hosiery counter, where she had stood for years, but which she would leave exactly one month from that day. On the way she loitered in one aisle to send a brilliant smile across tall up standing bolts of broadcloth and serge at Jim Cooley, who had charge of the dry goods. But Jim wasn’t looking. He was talking to the new* salesgirl, a tall, slim blonde, who had come that morn ing. Aline, her smile less brilliant since he would not see it, but still a very hap py smile, went on to her own section. If you stand at the extreme north end of the hosiery counter and tilt your head obliquely so as to look through the vista between the rack of black sateen petticoats and the long table of ormolu clocks under the over hanging panel of mission timepieces, you can see the extreme southeast cor ner of the dry goods. Jim usually stood there when not engaged with customers, with his head tilted around the tall up standing bolts of brown serge, in order to smile at Aline any time that she hap pened to be smiling at him. Aline, when she got to her section, immediately sought the north end and tilted her head at the required oblique angle and Jim stood at the southeast corner of the dry goods and smiled—down into the upraised smiling face of that tall slim neiv girl. Aline thoughtfully real ized that yellow hair of that peculiar dark lustre was rare. But she shook off the first faint suggestion of jeal ousy. Rubbish! As if Jim could ever even dream—Why, she and Jim had been engaged four years! “You and Jim have been engaged an awful long time, haven't you?” Aline jumped, ^he careless question chimed in so opportunely with her thoughts. She turned, frowning faint ly, to Lena, who w r as sorting a pile of lisle thread disheveled by a finicky cus tomer who wanted 60-cent value for 17 cents. “Why, yes,” Aline acknowledged. “You see he’s had his mother and father to keep,” she spoke quickly, although Lena had know’n that circumstance for a long time. “Now, his father’s dead. Sounds heartless, but I didn’t mean to say it that way. But now we can get married.” Lena yawned. She had been talking simply to talk. She had not meant to be inquisitive or taunting, and now- she continued: “Course the old folks have to be taken care of. Did you get the messaline?” “Yes,” absently. “Seen that new girl in the dry- goods? Her name’s Jane Grady. You know r she and Jim used to chase around together about seven years ago. But she isn’t one of the kind that wait for old folks or care for old folks. I guess she chucked him. Say, she looks real young, doesn’t she? I don’t see how she keeps her pink and white skin cooped indoors all the time. The rest of us can’t.” And Lena cast a dissat isfied glance, first at Aline’s colorless face and then at her own reflected in a mirror across the aisle. Aline might have forgotten both Lena’s words and her own perturba tion. She wasn’t the doubtful kind, and she was sure that Jim loved her. It was only from habit, she assured herself, that she went so frequently to the end of the counter that day. But at the end of the day her face, al ways colorless, was unusually pallid, for Jim had never looked once through that vista between the sateen petti coats and the ormolu clocks, sound of the closing bell as they put “Lena,” she asked abruptly at the away their aprons and checkbooks, “how r old would you take me for if you saw me for the first time?” “Well, Aline,” said candid Lena, “you don’t look like you’re twenty. But I wouldn’t—she tilted her head criti cally for inspection—“oh, I don’t know'. Aline,” wfth obvious desire not to oft- fend. “What do you care? You’ve got Jim and you couldn’t get a better one if you was a Cleopatra. But I'd like to know how that Jane Grady keeps her looks.” * Aline very quietly slipped out “Tired?” Jim asked that evening. “Want to go to a nickel show?” “No.” She was sitting down on the front steps of the flat building. “Oh, I forgot. I guess it’s the dress maker’s night,” he laughed. "Did vou get the white silk?” “No,” said Aline quietly. “That Is I got it, but I asked Stella to tak; it back. 1 guess I’ll w’ait awhile be fore I buy it.” “Why the delay?” he asked. But he didn’t seem to notice that she didn’t answer. For some reason he was abstracted. Finally he said in a sort of blurting way: “Aline, ar e you sure you wouldn’t mind living with moth err? I’m afraid ” He paused, i as though uncertain how best to speak. Aline stiffened. Was he trying to j w’rlggle into freedom? She flung up I her chin. Very well. He needn’t j wriggle. She would teljl him. But before she had a chance Lena came by with j three or four others on their way to a! park. They inested that Jim and I Aline join them and Aline was j glad to postpone the break that 1 now aeefed inevitable. And at the I %nd of the evening Jim kissed her good night in precisely his usual warm fashion and said: “I’ve got something to tell you tomorow, Aline. It’ll be a shock, so get ready to meet it.” “How perfectly heartless of him!” gasped Aline as he ran down the steps. “Does he think I will De heart broken? I'll tell him first.” And then she went* to bed and cried. The next day she kept away from the north end and waited on .customers with such assiduity that Lena was moved to comment. “If I was going to quit in a few weeks I’d take it easy,” said she, disapprovingly. “First thing I know the manager will be noticing that I could work harder, too. You shouldn’t set such an example, Aline. It isn’t fair.” Aline said nothing. Out of'the cor ner of her eye she saw Jim approach ing. Whereupon Aline flung off her apron, murmured. “It’s lunch time, and ran down the opposite aisle to the elevator that led to the lunch room. But she left her lifnch untasted. She was thinking what to say to Jim. When she got back <o the section ne was waiting. His eyes were perplexed. “When did you change your lunch hour?” he asked, indignantly. “I had mine changed so as to go with you, and then 'you go half an hour so >n<y. Say, Aline, instead of getting married a month from now ” “We’ll change it,” hastily. “I’m will ing. I wanted to tell you last night.” The perplexed light in his eyes •changed to gladness. “Then you know ? Who told you? Jane Grady? Say, that girl is clever ” Aline caught her lower lip tight be tween her teeth. The audacity of him! “I’m glad you think so,” she mumured. “I didn’t hear you." said Jim placidly. “Say, about that white messaline—” * What?” sharply. "You won’t have time to buy the goods and have' it made,” he went on. “But# say, Jane says they’re havii\g a sale of charmeuse gowns ready made on the eighth floor. And she saw one that would just about fit you, sfliite with lace panels, so I had. her to tell them to lay it away till you came up and looked at it. I’ve got to go tomorrow evening, so you’ll have to hurry. I wasn’t sure last night ” “Jim, 7 what are you talking about?” demanded Aline. “Why, the firm’s taken me out of the retail and given me charge of a branch store. Jane takes my place here. I’ve been coaching her, and. say, she’s got posted in no time at all. Can you get off now to go up and get your gown? What’s the matter, Alinne? You look “Like a simpleton?” Aline laughed tremulously. "I look like myself then Sure, I can get off.
