DOCTOR HALE ON WOMAN'S WORK, In his Monthly Talk in the Wo man’s Home Companion Dr. Ed ward Everett Hale says; “Will you please to remember that the bottom rock of American success is the habit or determa tion that every place, village, town, neighborhood, or whatever you call it, shall have home rule. If I and Mr. Gcodchild want to have a road and a bridge which shall go back to the rhododendron swamp, we build the road and we build the bridge with such help as we can get from Mrs. Tucker or from Mr. Ohamplin, and we do not write to a sub-perfect who writes to a perfect who writes to an assistant commandant who writes to another commandant who writes to an intendent who writes to a secretary of engmew who sends word to us from the scat of government whether we may build the bridge and how we may build it. Lift where you stand expresses the foundatimi principle, the subsoil, the hard pan, the bed rock of American life. “Now, a very queer thing has developed in the evolution of this principle. It has proved that where the men of the country have been too busy, or have thought they were, to attend l<> their own affairs, the women have been ahle to attend to them bet ter than the men do. “Take this business which 1 have referred to, of a neighbor hood library, feeding a regi-n of not more than four or five thou sand people. The affairs of that library, if they ar'e well conducted, are conducted by the women of the neighborhood. They know what their children want, tln-y know what their husbands need. And it is very fortunate for the neighborhood and the library that they can harness the hor<--- - and can drive themselves to tier meetings of trustees and seh-et the books and tell Mis- Dorca hnw manv she may buy." Fo rme i! Tennessee Woman Suicides. “1 could not bring a single hope into my life or joy to my heart, so wherefore tlie struggle; all whom ,1 have ever loved have passed on I before. 1 should like you to feel i that it is a surrender of a strong, proud soul.’’ Thus wrote Mrs. 0. A. Walton,formerly of Flat Creek, j Tenn , to a friend before swnllow -5 ing poison". I jioti the death of her : husband she opeifed a millinery j establishment in San Fiaiciseo and prospered until the earth quake impoverished her. Man Shot in Quarrel. Marietta, Fob. B—C. I’.

A little retlectin shows ; how indefinite must be the post ijponemenfc of sleep under such ( conditions. 1 No training is more important I for the victim of compulsive tend leucies than the practice of trust ’! ing something to luck and to the ' morrow, and reconciling himself t to the fact that at no time, in this j world will all things be finally ad ,:-justed to his satisfaction. | Next comes the insistent desire to sleep in a certain bed, with a certain degree of light or dark | ness, heat or cold, air or absence lof air. This is in line with the j desire to eat certain foods only, at -'a certain table and at a certain | time. The man who loses his up petite if dinner is half an hour I late is unable to sleep again if j once waked up. This individual ' must say to himself. “Anyone lean stand what lie likes; it takes j.a philosopher so stand what he j does not like,’’and try at being ‘ a philosopher instead of a sensi |live plant. Inability, to sleep while certain noises are continued must besiin ilary combated. If one goes from | place to place in search of the quiet spot of slcpcp. lie may final i iy fiiiiNquiet itr.Jl oppressive, or, worse yet, may lie kept awake by hearing his own circulation, from which escape is out of the ques , tion. He who finds himself persistent • Iv out of joint with his surround ings will do well to ponder the language of the Chinese philoso ipher: “The itrg* of the stork are long, 'the legs of the duck are short; i you cannot make the legs of the j stork short, neither can you make I the legs of the duck long.
