strength of conviction • • * There is '
no evidence wanting to prove that De-

• * * It was found by the represen- I
tatlve nf The World that among promi
nent department and drug stores of

landed on all sides. Th* proprietor of
one of the largest of these establish
ments said: The sal* of DeMiracle Is

nothing but praise for it all the time.’
I,ike expressions were echoed by the
others."
For years we have been cautioning
women against being defrauded by so
called superfluous hair "cures.' In
spite of all warning it seems that some
are always willing to be humbugged,
because, as The World says, The fakes
put on the market in the last ten years I
have numbered their victims by the |
hundreds of thousands." The mere fact
that fake-dangerous preparations arc
short-lived should alone he sufficient
warning to avoid the use of any de
pilatory but that of proven merit.
Don't be deceived or deluded by al
luring and impossible claims of Im
postors. Tell any on* of them that De-
Mlracle Chemical Company will forfeit
Five Thousand Dollars If it can be j
proven that their so-called superfluous
hair "enree" even- eradicated on* single
growth of superfluous hair.
It is astonishing that some women
will take the risk of disfigurement by
using unknown and uncertain means for
removing th*s* blemishes when there

reputable authorities everywhere as the I

room when the lights had flashed up sud

-the finding of the weapon by which the

NATIONAL TOILET COMFANY. FerO. Test
Getting On in Life I
By THOMAS TAPPER,
The Proof of the Pudding
FEW people, so It Is satd. have it in
them to be a Lincoln or an Edi
son.
But how do vve know this?
Who knows what any boy nr girl
may be until the boy' or girl has tried
in every way possible to find out just
w hat there Is in he or she?
H hen they tell you to be content
with the simple life, not to want money,
not to care for the things that people
prize, do not be too quick to act on
this advice.
You do not go to bed at 5 in the aft
ernoon for two reasons:
First. You afe not tired at 5 in the
afternoon.
Second. You like to be up and see
what is going on in the evening.
The same wish holds good in life.
Do not shut yourself up in a narrow’
and restricted way of living too soon.
Make up your mind that you have a
share in the good things of life. <See
rules later on). This is like going to
bed early- in the afternoon. You miss a
lot and you miss doing a lot.
Now, any one of us can have our
share of life's good things provided
(and here are the rules):
1. w? think about the work we are
going to do.
2. We think about the work we. are
doing
3. We think about the work, of a
harder kind, vve want to do.
How the Rules Work Out.
This sort of a program acts in an in
teresting way—about like this:
1. It keeps you thinking.
2. And that keeps you awake.
3. And. being awake, you know what
is going on.
4. And when you know what is go
ing on. you are in a fairway to find
your chance.
5. And when you have found your
chance all the rest is easy.
6. Then you wifi have opportunity
and money; and If you want the sim
ple life, you can have that, too.
But remember the simple life belongs
to the independent man.
Mr. Edison has money, and he cer
tainly makes opportunity. Yet he sleeps
only about four hours, and eats prac
tically- less than any other hard work
ing man in th® United States.
If he wanted to, he could have duck,
plum pudding and champagne three
times a day. Why does he not want
these things" He can pay for them.
The answer is simple:
He would rather get the work out of
Mr. Edison than nut ducks .and plum
pudding into him.

Anty Drudge Tells How to Make
e Housecleaning Easy.
p 3/rs. Hardworlc— “l certainly do detest housecleaning
time. Here I've been scrubbing and scrubbing until
the skin is all off my knuckles, and I just can't get
s the doors and paint clean.”
Anty Drudge— “ All the elbow grease in the world won’t
j clean things if you use the wrong soap. Get
A Fels-Naptha and the grease and dirt on floors and
, paint-work will disappear like magic.”
1
Fels-Naptha is better than an extra
i pair of hands in housecleaning,
' It makes dirt fly from walls, floors,
woodwork, linoleum, windows, porcelain
• fittings and anything else that's clean
able, just as it does from clothes.
< No scrub-brush or hot water is nec-
essary, mind you.
j Just Fels-Naptha, cool or lukewarm
water, and a soft cloth.
Fels-Naptha dissolves the dirt in a
jiffy so it can be rinsed away; it doesn’t
have to be scoured off.
I As Fels-Naptha is also a germicide,
it is a good sanitary precaution to do (
your housecleaning with it.
r Did you ever try wasm'ng dishes with
( Fels-Naptha in lukewarm water?
It cuts the grease quick as a wink
and makes the glasses shine.
Directions for all uses of Fels-Naptha
• are printed on the red and green wrapper.
I
This is the type of simple us e e or
you to go after. Get work out of your
self, with plenty of ideas about it Don’t
live for plum pudding; live for what
you can do.
This is the simplest game in the A
world. And yet— *
More men play pinochle every day
than play this great game of getting
' n.
More women play bridge than eve
try to get acquainted with the ptm er
and character of the «■ u! they hone,
some day. to save.
All a Matter of Choice.
It is all a matter of choice until the A
■day you are. scared to death, and then
the plum pudding and the pinochle
can do so little for the soul you want
to save that ytfu hate them.
11.
Well, mister, if the rule is so simple,
why isn't everybody at work on It?
I do not know. 1 think that a bit
of plum pudding that a man can s»e
looks better to him than the sou!
which he can not see—or, rather, will
not see.
There may be some other reason.
But after all, it must be the plum
pudding.
Successful men have been praising >
work and its rewards for six thou
sand years, and they still have a small
audience.
They have kept on singing for sixty
centuries that you can have al! you
want if you are willing to keep bus'-
And still most people want it with
out work.
So I think it is the plum pudding
'hat wrecks this chance in life.
But it may be the duck or ths ‘
pinochle.
