Secret of a Vulgar Idea of
Marriage.
The treating of young girls as
objects of ornament, and bring
ing them up in luxurious idleness.
This habit of excessvie outlay up
on young girls runs thru every
grade of society, The daughter
of the blacksmith is as likely to be
dressed extravagantly in propor
tion to his means as that of the
millionaire for whom he works.
The income which the successful
professional man earns by his
brains is equal to the interest on a
large bulk of capital; it gives him
the feeling of affluence. But in
rearing his daughter he is apt to
wholly forget that his brains die
with him. For how many of the
pretty, innocent butterflies who
brighten our streets today is any
provision made to insure them,
five years hence, one tithe of the
luxuries which they now enjoy?
How many of them are qualified
to earn their own living? The
effect of this cruel neglect in pa
rents strikes deeper than mere
poverty. Luxuries are made ne
cessities for the girl. She knows
that on the death of her father
she will lose them. There is but
one way to secure them —mar-
riage with a rich man. There is
the secret of the vulgar idea of
marriage which is debasing our
social life; of the market for wo
men which fashionable society has
become; of the voluntary sale of
themselves of the prettiest girls
of each season to rich old men of
the wretched homes, and of the
innumerable divorces that end
this lamentable history. What is
the remedy ? —Ex.
In Defense of Father.
“Every now and then father will
come across a little baby shoe
when he is rummaging through
an old trunk. To him it is only a
cheap little bit of kid that was
worn by a littlle tad who got sick
and died. He can’t see why my
mother keeps it. But to mother
the little shoe was warm lips mois!
with her kisses, little hands that
cling lovingly to her breast and
little eyeslhat look into her ver\
and understand her sorrow.’
Tlie above 11 appeared in one of our’
most valued exchanges and
brought forth the following com
ment :
Here is where we call for a new
deal for father. Mother* is all that
has been said, and more, God
bless and kedp her. Father is all
that has not been said. I know
men who rush away in the dark
and grieve on their knees with
their head in their arms, because
a little baby died a long time ago.
And after that they come out and
face the world smiling bravely,
and the world doesn’t know. 1
know a man who carries a little
daughter’s shoe in his grip when
he goes out upon the road, and
sleeps with it beneath his pillow,
and I know many fathers who will
never be comforted this side of
the grave. Let us still love and
cherish mother; but let us also
give father credit for being at
least half human.
A Traveling Man’s Experience.
Yon may learn something from
the following by W. H. Ireland, a
traveling salesman of Louisville
Ky. ‘ln the summer of 1888 1 had
a severe attack of cholera morbus.
I gave the hotel porter fifty cents
and told him to buv me a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic and Diorrhea
Remedy and to take no substitute,
I took a double dose of it acc<tiding
to the directions and went to sleep.
At five o’clock the next morning 1

Georgia Phenomenon.
In Georgia, near Valdosta, there
is a lake which disappears every
three or four years and then comes
back again, no matter what the
weather is like.
The lake is three miles long and
three-quarters of a mile wide,
with an average depth of 12 feet
of water. There are natural sub
terranean passages beneath it,
through which the water passes
off.
It takes two or three weeks to
disappear, when a mammoth basin
is left in its place, which furnishes
a beautiful sandy beach. After a
month or so the water begins to
return, and then in a couple of
weeks it is same magnificent
stretch of water as it was before.

The Best Physic.
When you want a pleasant phcsie
take Chamberlain’s Tablets. They
are easy to take and mild and /gen
tle in effect. They are highly
prized by people who have become
iicqvminted with their good qnali
ties. They only cost a quarter.

Noted.
Sunday morning. The congre
gation in its go-to-meeting best
filed into the pews of the village
church and sat rigidly at attention
as was the custom among God
fearing Americans of that day.
All was serenity and stillness.
Then the pastor arose.
“Let us prav,” he said.
The government inspector in
the last pew reached hurriedly for
his notebook.
“Ah, ha!” he muttered. Estab
lishing secret communication with
the Almighty without a federal
permit. Burleson shall hear of
this.”
A Great Remedy.
The merits of Chamberlain’s
Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy are
well known and appreciated, but
there is occasionally a man who
had no acquaintance with them
and should read the following by
F. H. Dear, a hotel man at Dupuy
er, Mont. ‘‘Four years ago I used
Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy with such wonderful re
sults that T have since recommen
ced it to my friends.” For sale

THE strong and vigorous man or
woman is envied by less fortunate
humanity afflicted with aches, pains,
infirmities and ailments. The sufferer
says to himself, ‘‘lf I could only be
well, how happy I would be,” for health
is more essential to the joy of living
than is wealth. >
The kidneys almost literally wash the
blood and keep it clean and free from
impurities. When the kidneys are out of
order, they fail to filter out this waste and pois
onous matter. It remains in the system to cause
backache, rheumatic pains, sore muscles and
stiff joints.
JMeyganeyßUs
belp the system eliminate this poisonous waste.
They soothe, strengthen and heal sore, weak
and diseased kidneys and bladder. When the
kidneys are working properly, appetite returns,
refreshing sleep is possible, and health and
strength come again.
C. W. Smith, 1205 No. 4th St., Salina, Kas.,
writes: "1 am very much pleased with Foley
Kidney Pills. I am working in a coal yard and
have been very much troubled with my back.
1 have taken several doses of Foley Kidney Pills
and they have already helped me.”

U. S. Fabric Tires
Still Great Favorite.
The advent of cord construction
in automobile tires has made pos
sible the manufacture of tires
which give astounding mileages,
yet there are many automobile
owners who have found so great
a degree of satisfaction in some
favorite brand of fabric tire, that
they are loath to change to the
new type.
The United States Tire Com
pany reports sales of its fabric
brands that show that these tires
are continually gaining favor
among motorists who want good
tires at a moderate initial cost.
President J. NEwton Gunn of
the United States Tire Company
has received this letter from a
New Haven merchant, telling why
he remains firm in his allegiance
to the “Chain” tread:
C T think 20,346 tfiiles up to date
is a remarkable record for three
out of a set of five of vour 35x4%
‘Chain’ tread tires. They are still
on my seven passenger car in
serviceable condition, and the car
is used every day.
“The full set of five tires was
put on my new car the first week
in March, 1915. The first of the
set went out of commission April
2,1918, after running 16,203 miles.
The second blew out beyond re
pair the month following, but the
remaining three have been run
ning ever since. I had but few
punctures or blow-outs, owing to
the durability and elasticity of the
tires.”
You'll Do Better at Home.
At this season of the year, suff
erers from hay fever and asthma
who can afford to travel are seek
ing relief at health resorts. Some
find it, others do not. Hay fever
and asthma victims compelled to
remain at home will find relief in
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound.
This standard family medicine al
lays inflammation, soothes and
heals raw and painful bronchial
tubes and helps to overcome diffi
culty in 1 eathing, making sound,
refreshin ; sleep possible. Good
for coughs, colds, etc. McDonough
