The Lesson of History.
We take the following extract
the oration of Judge Jann
the Confederate Veteran
New Orleans:

tile
million divorces
country during the last twenty
had been granted for trivial cau
outlook would lie bad enough, but the j
situation becomes all the more serious
when the separations take place lor
grave moral reasons. It is generally
recognize d that such causes as adultery,
desertion, cruelty, imprisonment fori
crime, habitual drunkenness and neg
lect to provide are grave reasons for
divorce, and while some of our States
have omnibus clauses in their divorce
law, these principal grounds are the
ones recognized by the majority oi
States.
Moreover, the statistics of divorces
gr mted show that S7 per cent, of all
divorces are granted on these six prin
cipal grounds. Only an insignificant
fraction of the divorces in the United
States are granted for trivial reasons,
such as “incompatibility of temper.”
Again, over 00 per cent, of the di
vorces in the United States are grant
ed for the two most serious grounds of
all adultery and desertion. In other
words, in two-thirds of the cases di
vorce was granted after husband and
wife were already practically separa
ted.
We must conclude, therefore, that di
vorce is prevalent not because of the
laxity of our laws, but rather because
of the decay of our family life. The
real evil is not divorce, but the decay
of the very virtues upon which the
home rests. The problem in American
family life is whether we are able to
build up the virtues upon which a new
and higher type of family may be
founded higher, that is, than the des
potic, semi-patriarchal type of family
of our fathers, which is now passing
away, or is, rather, already extinct. It
must be remembered, however, that
the first essential element in the home
life of a people is stability.
GROWS HAIR ON BALD HEADS.
Bald Headed People May Get a New
Chance in Life.
In these days when youth is the
moving factor in business; when a man
makes his mark at thirty-live and is
ready to retire at forty-live; when
business houses pension the man >ve call
"middle age” rather than allow his lag
ging influence to intrude upon the com
mercial rush, a bald head is almost fa
tal to any man’s hopes. The following
must therefore bo interesting to people
who are losing their hair or who are
bald.
Resorcin is one of the latest and most
effective germ killers discovered by
science, and in connection with Beta
Napthol, which is both germicidal and
antiseptic, a combination is formed
which destroys the germs which rob
the hair of its uutriment, and also
creates a clean and healthy condition of
the scalp, which prevents the devel
opment of new germs. Pilocarpin is
a well-known agent for restoring the
hair to its natural color, wheie the loss
of color has been due to a disease of
the scalp. Yet it is not a coloring
matter or dye.
This combination of curatives mixed
with alcohol as a stimulant perfects the
most effective remedy for hair and
scalp troubles.
The famous Rexnll “93“ Hair Tonic
is chiefly composed of Resorcin, Beta
Napthol and Pilocarpin. It makes the
scalp healthy, nourishes the hair, stim
ulates the follicles. Where the head is
already bare, it enters the follicles, re
vitalizes the roots, supplies nourish
ment and stimulates a new growth.
We want you to try a few bottles of
ReXall “93“ Hair Tonic, on our per
sonal guarantee that the trial will not
cost you a penny if it does not give you
absolute satisfaction. That’s proof of
our faith in this remedy, and it should
indisputably demonstrate that we know
what we are talking about when we
say that Rexall “93” Hair Tonic will
grow hair on bald heads, except, of
course, where baldness has been of
such long duration that the roots of the
hair are entirely dead, the follicles
closed and grown over, and the scalp is
glazed.
Remember, we are basing our state
ments upon what has already been ac
complished by the use of Rexnll “93“
Hair Tonic, and we have the right to
assume that what it lias done to hun
dreds of others it will do for you. In

The lady, taking the pen, of course j .sential to the full development of the
tv isted the draft around so she could
write on the wrong end, and, as she |
wrote, said; “Just give me the five
dollars, please.”
The cashier, thinking he might possi
bly have caught the amount wrong,
waited until she had finished writing
her name, then blotted the indorse
ment, turned the draft face up, and
seeing the amount as he had at first
thought it to be, laid down $3.50 for
our lady.
“Just give me the five dollars,
please,” again demanded madam.
"But the draft only calls for three
and a half,” protested the cashier.
“I know that is what it says,” said
the madam, “but you see down there
at the bottom it says ‘not over five
dollars,’ and my husband wrote me if I
needed more than the three-fifty, I
could get the five.”
And there it was stamped indelibly
by a protectograph- not over five dol-
ars. ($5.)
We have often wondered if ‘hubby’
really wrote her as she said, fora joke,
or if her conscience was on a vacation
that day, and she stretched the truth
just a trifle.
Why George Got Red.
Tit-Bits.
A business man has a daughter and
also a confidential clerk, and the confi
dential clerk has for some time been
attentive to the daughter, but he has
not—or had not a month ago—sufficient
courage to come to the point, though
the young woman, goodness knows, has
never done anything to scare him off,
for he is a first-class fellow in every
respect. The other evening he was
making a call, and about 9 o’clock her
father came in.
“Ah. George,” he said, “how about
that deal we were talking of this after
noon Did you see the party?”
“Yes, sir,” replied George, “and I
expected to see you this evening and
tell you about it.”
“My dear,” asid the father, turning
to his daughter, "will you retire for a
few minutes? George wants to speak
business for awhile.”
The daughter rose up, but hesitated.
"Why do I have to go?” she aked
doubtfully.
“Because, dear,” smiled the father,
“you are not interested. Why do you
want to stay?”
She blushed and fidgeted.
“Because, papa,” she twittered,
“I’d rather like to hear George talk
business just once.”
Then George got red, and the father
looked at them both significantly, and
tlu* girl fled.
William had just returned from col
lege to spend his spring vacation. One
of the things most noticed by the young
man was Fanny, the daughter of Si
Perkins, a near neighbor, who had
during his absence changed from a
tomboyish schoolgirl into a very beau
tiful young woman. It seems his fath
er had also noticed the change, and re
marked to his son :
"William, have you noticed how old
Si Perkins’ daughter, Fanny, has shot
up? Seems to me she's gettin’ to be a
jolly, handsome young critter!”
“She certainly is, father,” said Wil
liam, enthusiastically. “Fanny is as
beautiful as Hebe!”
“Where’s your eyes, boy?’ objected
the father. “She’s a durn sight pur-
tier than he be! Old Si is as homely
as Bill Jones’ bull pup.”
The late Gen. Joseph Wheeler told
this story as illustrating the firm be
lief that in war times prevailed in
Tennessee as to the efficacy of prayer :
“There had been a summer religious
meeting in one of the rural districts.
No rain, it seems, had fallen in a long
time; everything was about burned up.
Consequently, the preacher at the
meeting referred to concluded his
prayer with this appeal for rain;
“ ‘Oh, Lord, we need a refreshing
shower. Be pleased to send us the
blessed rain, so that the drooping veg-
nny event you cannot lose anything by I etation may be revived. Oh. Lord, not

men of the South that they should be i
tried in the fiery ordeal of war and the j
still more grievous experience of our
reconstruction period, to produce a race
of men and women who should once |
more lead our beloved country to the
most exalted place among the nations
of the earth. Who cannot even at this
day recognize that the war of 1861 to
1865 taught not only the South, but the
North and the world, that through suf
fering and privation all that is strong
and noble in a people muse be developed
and exemplified. What Southern man
is so blind as not to realize that only a
war could produce a Robert E. Lee. a
Stonewall Jackson, a Thomas R. R.
Cobb, as perpetual examples of duty,
self-sacrifice and manly purity; a war
which caused the whole South to suf
fer the loss of all its material wealth
and its life of ease and comfort for
principle alone, will in the end fur
nish to the generations yet to come
their greatest incentive for a higher
life and to the maintenance of those
virtues of self-denial and civil purity
which alone can exalt a people and
make them great in the true sense.”
Right Amount of Sleep.
Nothing is more important than sleep,
because it is at the foundation of all
waking activity. Yet few men and few
er women get either the proper quantity
or the proper quality of sleep.
The main cause of sleeplessness, or
failure to sleep long enough and well,
is indigestion. And as the woman, in
broad, use their bodies and their brains
less than men, they lie awake more
hours that should be spent in conscious
ness. This indigestion is usually not
of the painful kind, but is, on the con
trary, accompanied by no other symp
tom than restless slumber or wakeful
ness.
Worry or care rarely causes sleepless
ness, or even grief. People eat when
they are laboring under these emotions,
and what they eat does not digest, and
of course they do not sleep.
The stupor produced by beer, wine,
whiskey, sufanol and other sleeping
potions is not sleep, any more than it is
sleep to butt one’s head against the
bedpost until one is unconscious. Ev
eryone must study the problem of sleep
for himself or herself. And everyone
should do it—the women especially, if
they wish to fool the men and other
women about their age after they are
thirty. ___
Is she not the very sparkle and sun
shine of life?—the woman who is happy
because she can’t help it, whose smiles
even the coldest sprinkle of misfortune
cannot dampen? Men make a terrible
mistake when they marry for beauty,
for talents, or for style. The sweetest
wives are those who possess the magic
secret of being content under any cir
cumstances. Rich or poor, high or low,
makes no difference; the bright little
fountain of joy bubbles up just as mu
sically in their hearts. Do they live in
a log cabin, the fire that leaps upon its
humble hearth becomes brighter than
the gilded chandeliers in an Aladdin
palace. Where is the stream of life so
dark and unpropitious that the sun
shine of a happy face falling on the
turbid tide will not awaken an answer
ing gleam? These joyful, good-tem
pered people don’t know half the good
they do.
A youth in Trenton, whose devotion
to the young woman of his choice has
encountered many obstacles during his
long courtship, recently sought her out
with this apparently encouraging state
ment :
”1 think it’s all right now, Alice. I
managed to get access to your father
the other day. and while he wouldn’t
exactly give his consent I rather im
agine I’ve made some headway. He
borrowed $40 of me. Surely he can't
stand me off much longer after that.”
The young woman sighed. “Yes, I’ve
heard about it," she said, “and I think
you’ve made an awful mess of it. Fath
er mentioned the $40 and remarked that
I’d better give you up—you were too
easy.”

“I known young man who decided |
on New Year’s Day that he was giving I
too many of his evenings to the club.
Accordingly, he resolved that through
out 1908 he would go to the club only
twice a month. And then he proceeded
to put the resolution in force.
“ ‘Amy,’ he said to his wife at din
ner, ‘1 know that since our marriage I
have been too constant a frequenter of
the club, and I am aware that this has
caused you a deal of silent wretched
ness. My dear. I am sorry. I am
going to turn over a new leaf. And I
will begin to-night.’
“The young woman’s eyes shone.
Her face lighted with joy.
“ ‘Oh. Harold.’ she cried ‘how happy
you have made me ! Uncle Jim wants
me to go to the theater with him to
night and you can stay home and mind
the baby.’ ”

any physical irregularities, such as a spell of indigestion, bowel disturbance,
etc are merely the exciting causes producing the pains and aches, which
are the natural symptoms of the disease. Rheumatism is caused by an
excess 0 f uri< acid and other corrosive, irritating poisons in the blood, which
are carried through the circulation to every part of the system. Every
muscle, nerve, membrane, tissue and joint becomes saturated with these
acrid, irritating impurities, or coated with fine, insoluble caustic matter,
and tlie sharp, piercing pains or the dull, constant aches are felt with every
physical movement. When the blood is filled with uric acid poison, perma

instead of being a weak, sour

Sometime ago, I had Rheumatism and had to
quit work. The pain in my back and between
my shoulders was so intense I could not rest or
sleep. I tried everything, but nothing did me any
good till I heard of and took S. S. S. This med
icine cured me sound and well. It purified my
blood and made me feel like a new man.
CONRAD LOHR,
Anderson, Ind. 122 E. 19th St.
I was severely troubled with Rheumatism. I
had it in my knees, legs and ankles, and any one
who has ever had Rheumatism knows how excru
ciating the pain is and how it interferes with one
at work. I was truly in bad shape—having been
bothered with it for ten years, off and on. A
local physician advised me to use S. S. S. I did
so. After taking two bottles I noticed the sore
ness and pain were greatly reduced. I continued
the medicine and was thoroughly cured; all pain,
soreness and inflammation gone. I recommend
S. S. S. to all Rheumatic sufferers.
