Every one is forward to complain of the prejudices that mislead other men or parties, as if he were free, and had none of his own. This being objected on all sides, it is agreed that it is a fault and a hindrance to knowledge. What now is the cure? No other but this, that every man should let alone others' prejudices and examine his own. The only way to remove this great cause of ignorance and error out of the world is for every one impartially to examine himself—Locke. For Remembrance.

Gilead baptist Church, on 17th, st., by Henderson Stratton, the trouble arising over alleged undue attention to Stratton's wife, Brice died Thursday.

Glass of Hot Water Before Breakfast a Splendid Habit Open sluices of the system each morning and wash away the poisonous, stagnant matter. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, lame back, can, instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daly always by washing the poisons and toxins from the body with phosphated hot water each morning. We should drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teapooful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but a little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at your druggist or from the store, but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with billiousness, constipation, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiasm on the subject of internal sanitation. Try it and you are assured that you will look better and feel better in every way shortly.—Adv. She Was Right. Fortune Teller—You will marry a light man. Woman-That's Tim! He works for the gas company.-Harvard Lampoon. IS CHILD CROSS, FEVERISH, SICK Children love this "fruit laxative," and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely. Children simply will not sleep plying to empty the bowels, and the result is they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, not eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the system, and you have a well child again. Millions of mothers give "California Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly harmless; children love it, and it never fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv. Easy. "She's the limit at flirting with soda- water clerks." "How long can she keep up the flirtation?" "Oh, about five sodas." To Fortify the System Against Winter: Cold Many users of GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC make it a practice to take a number of systems in it that to strengthen and fortify the system in winter. Everyone knows the tonic effect of Quinine and Iron which this preparation contains in a tasteless and acceptable form. It is used to strengthen the blood and builds up the whole system. 50c. Not Like Him. Crank—Jack Speed, our boss, baseball catcher, is playing in vaudeville this winter. Flend—Well, judging from his batting average, he won't make a hit. RECIPE FOR GRAY HAIR; To half pint of water add 1 oz. Bay Rum, a small box of Barbo Compound, and ¼ oz. of glycerine. Apply to the hair twice a week until it becomes the desired shade. Any drugstore hair can be used; it will gradually darken streaked, faded gray hair, and removes dandruff. It is excellent for falling hair and will make harsh hair soft and glossy. It will not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy, and does not rub off.—Ady. Just a Spot of Water as a Rule. Mistress—What are you going to do with that sponge? Cook—To get the piece of ice the ice cream left on the step this morning.

"Why do you knock so? Why are you always using the hammer?" "I do it to rivet attention, my boy." To keep clean and healthy take Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They regulate liver, bowels and stomach—Adv. Some men are as proud of their ancestors as a self-made man is of himself. CAP and BELLS WOULD MAKE PLOT ORIGINAL Improve Moving Picture Plays by Making Waitress the Heroine and Cook the Villainess. "The principal thing I don't like about these moving-picture shows, said the fat plumber, "is the similarity of plot. They all seem to begin the same and all have the same old end- ing." "Well," the thin carpenter returned, "I suppose it is pretty hard to think up something original." "I don't see why." "Perhaps you could do the trick yourself." "I think I could." "Well, let's hear you tackle it." "I'd have a waitress for the hero- ne." "Nothing particularly novel in that." "And a cook for the villainess." "Why a cook?" "That is where the plot comes in. You see, the cook gets jealous of the wattress and puts fish bones in the hero's mashed potatoes." — Buffalo News. HIS IDEA. Miss Green (selling tickets for churo bazar)—Mr. Wise, did you ever go to a church sociable? Mr. Wise—Why, I'm sociable where ever go. No Danger. "I see Gadson and Dubwaite comparing watches. They'll be quarreling in a moment." "I think not." "But they are sure to have an argument over the merits of their respective timepieces." "You are entirely wrong. Both have tin watches and both are blessed with sense of humor." She Would Be Sorry. "My young friend," said the reformer, who was studying the night life in a great city, do you realize that it is only a step from the cabaret to the gutter? "I guess you mean the curb, don't you?" replied the gorgeously dressed young woman. "Believe me, I'm glad of it on a rainy night when I have to run for a taxi." Unattached. "Who is that seedy-looking fellow?" "He claims to be a citizen of the world." "It's quite likely." "Yes?" "I can't imagine extra inducements being offered him to settle in any particular spot." Oh. Pickles! Miss Elderly—I was so frustrated when Mr. Bleeker called that I'm sure he will think I acted like a goose. Miss Young—Well, you certainly don't expect him to think a woman of your age would act like a spring chicken, do you? Logical Deduction. "What reason have you for thinking that man is a physician?" asked the student. "I overheard him say that he didn't enjoy good health," answered the great detective. Unusual Type. "This is the sort of moving picture play I enjoy." "A story of adventure, eh?" "Yes. And the hero is a homely wretch. I can't help wishing him well." Quite Impossible. "Ahem!

ILL Don't Neglect Kidneys Don't Neglect Kidneys Swamp-Root,Dr. Kilmer's Prescription. Overcomes Kidney Trouble It is now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more attention as they control the other organs to a remarkable degree and do a tremendous amount of work in removing the poles and waste matter from the system by filtering the blood. The kidneys should receive some assistance when needed. We take less exercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Evidence of kidney trouble, such as lame back, annoying bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brickdust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble. An ideal herbal compound that has had most remarkable success as a kidney and bladder remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. There is nothing else like it. It is Dr. Kilmer's prescription used in private practice and it is sure to benefit you. Get a bottle from your drugrist. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation, send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a test. Be sure and mention, this paper, -&yrs.

"What is Jack Summers fretting about?" "Afraid his wife can come back." Wife Beats Talking Machine. A talking machine isn't in it with a wife—and that's not intended for a joke, either—it was proved by a decision handed down in the New York supreme court. A woman suing for separation on the grounds of desertion also demanded alimony. The husband strentuously objected to the alimony on the ground that he had purchased a talking machine and was very heavily involved in trying to meet payments on it. The justice declared that a wife came first. He or dered the defendant to get rid of his canned music, if necessary, or in any event to pay his wife alimony. Couldn't Win Cadetship. Although during war time the standard of the entrance examination for army cadetship has been slightly lowered, it would probably even so prove too severe a test for some of our public men, the London Chronicle observes. When the duke of Edinburgh passed a naval cadet the prince consort sent Lord Derby the papers done by his son. "As I looked through these," the prime minister wrote on returning them, "I could not but feel very grateful that no such examination was necessary to qualify his majesty's ministers for their office, it would seriously increase the difficulties of forming an administration." PRESSED HARD Coffee's Weight on Old Age. When people realize the injurious effects of coffee and the better health that a change to Postum can bring, they are usually glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. "My mother, since her early childhood, was an inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that 'weak all-over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making a visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat unusual flavor of the 'coffee' and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with it that I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family liked it so well that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely." "I had been very anxious concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time she felt much better, had little trouble with her heart, and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was well and hearty. "I know Postum has benefited myself and the other members of the family, especially my mother, as she was a victim of long standing." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal—the original form—must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages. Instant Postum—a soluble powder—dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water, and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins. Both kinds are equally delicious and cost about the same per cup. "There's a Reason" for Postum. NO EXCITEMENT IN LONDON American Lighted Cigarette and Walked for Something to Happen—Had No Monocle. "So you are just back from London?" "Arrived last week." "Did you have any exciting experiences over there?" "None worth speaking about." None worth speaking about. "But what did you do when Zeppe- lins arrived." "Oh, I—er—lighted a cigarette and waited for something to happen." "Umph! Sheer bravado!" "Of course. I had to do something to make those bally Britishers think I wasn't frightened, and had no mo- nicle to adjust." Remembered His Grudge. "Were you still at loggerheads with your rich uncle when he died?" "Yes. The old gentleman never got over his animosity toward me." "Ahem! Did he remember you when he made his will?" "It's quite likely. He didn't leave me a cent." Quite an Effort. "Did I understand you to say that Dubson is a deep thinker?" "No. He's a hard thinker." "What's the difference?" "There's a great deal. Any sort of thinking is hard to Dubson." Thrifty Candidate. "I understand Blabson was a candidate for office in the recent election." "Yes. He made a close race, too." "Why, he received only a few hundred votes." "True. And he spent only a few hundred dollars." Where They Had Met. Judge—Have you ever met the prisoner at the bar? Witness—Of course I have, your honor. Judge—Why do you say "of course?" Witness—I'm a bartender. Most Likely. "This jewelers' circular says filmy jewelry must be worn with filmy clothes." "How about the stage dances?" "I presume it means when the jewelry is not the principal part of the attire." A Preserver. "How shall we preserve the forests!" said the worried woodsman. "Leave it to my wife," replied the town idler. "A woman who can preserve green tomatoes and watermelon on rinds oughtn't to be baffled by a few trees." Ray of Comfort. "Mrs. Fritters seems inconsolable since her husband's death." "I seriously doubt it." "Have you no heart?" "Of course, but black is very becoming to Mrs. Fritters." "I hear your husband is great for sports." "He's that crazy about them that he won't even have roses or vines in our garden that are not runners." "Isn't it composed mainly of married men?" Bad Prospect. "Don't call your boat Will o' the Wisp." "Why not?" "Don't you know it has a tendency to a swamp?" "Say, pop, what is meant by a bump of destructiveness?" "Why, er, a railroad collision, of course." Her Business. "I certainly do pity any poor seam-stress." "Why a seamstress especially?" "Because she's bound to see so much of the seamy side of life." Natural Inference. "I suppose wires are made of quick-tempered metal." "Why do you think that?" "Because it is so dangerous to cross them." Not in His Line. "Have you studied political economy?" "No, sir. Economy is all right in its place. I'm one of those who believe in keeping business out of politics." ```markdown ``` Oh! You Good Housewife Cut Out This Coupon and Mail It Now Skinner Mfg.

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren't Acting Right or If Back Hurts or When you wake up with backache all morning in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, slick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effervescent lithia-water drink.—Adv.

The stickiness of materials can now be measured and placed in actual relative figures with the aid of a device which the California highway commission is using to test road oils. The experts who examine road oils have found that the ordinary physical and chemical tests did not tell some of the facts which they most desired to know, among them how sticky a sub- 3 Kilo The Substance Is Smeared on a Roller, and the Machine Then Tells How Sticky the Material Is stance is; so to find out the power of different oils to hold dust, and the binding coat, the "adhesive machine" was constructed. The little invention consists of an inner and outer cylinder, the latter a hundredth of an inch larger than the former. The material to be tested is placed between these two cylinders and the whole combination is mounted horizontally. A rope and a weight are attached to the outer cylinder; a water-cooling jacket keeps the temperature uniform, with a tall thermometer on the device keeping the record, and the test starts. The time required for the weights to turn the outer cylinder three times is the figure which decides the test. A minimum time of 200 seconds has been established as a requirement for all oils. The balsam preparation used for sticky fly paper has an adhesive test figure of about 250 seconds.—illustrated World. Evolution of an Aristocrat. When Hanch Clover was a farm hand, relates the Howard Courant, he ran away and married his employer's daughter, and he had never warn a linen collar or a nightgown, and his wife had to nag at him to get him to wash his feet every Saturday night. When he moved to town and built his new house she had the sight of her life to get him to have a bathtub and hot water equipment built in. But she won out, and now Nanch doesn't see how he ever got along without it. In fact, he monopolizes the bathroom and calls it his room, doing all his dressing and undressing in it, and his wife can't get inside the door until after he is through or leaves the house. The other morning when he found long hairs in his brush and some hairpins lying on the shelf he anorted and jawed around till he made himself very unpleasant, and now he is planning to have a bathroom put in which shall be his exclusively and where his wife will not be allowed to butt in and clutter it up with her powder puffs and tooth brushes and funny looking fixin's. Hanch Glover has changed greatly since 1881.—Kansas City Star. Children are often roostless because no occupation has been provided for them. And if a little thought is taken it is sometimes easy to do this, for when children are quiet any household gets on much better. When the children must stay in the house, a never-falling source of amusement is "store." What child has not delighted in weighing cut flour and sugar or giving imaginary or real samples of dress stuffs? And money may be of paper or pins. The childish imagination will bridge any gaps. One mother procured a large wooden packing box for her children and they thought it an ideal "store." Furthermore, she saved all the grocery boxes, labeled tins—in fact, everything which would swell a grocery stock on a packing box scale. Needless to say, those children played for hours in perfect quietness. She—"Why do you refuse mhel's hand to Mr. Nocoyne? Don't you want your daughter married off?"

ADVANTAGE OF THE HORSE At Least There Was One Thing In Which Feared Our Creation They were speaking of the love that some people have for the old-fashioned when Congressman Harry H. Dale of New York was reminded of the following appropriate incident: A farmer who lives in one of the back counties was approached by an automobile salesman, but the eloquence handed out made no impression on Uncle Josh. "Nothin' doin', mister," he said, with an air of finality. "Ye can't beat the hoss with one o' them things. The hoss has the advantage every time." "You said that before," responded the salesman. "In what particular do you think the horse has the advantage? "Wa-al," returned Uncle Josh, "when a hoss dies ye kin skin an' git a dollar for his hide."—Philadelphia Telegraph. 8AVED MINISTER'S LIFE. Rev. W. H.

One of the biggest "hits" in the drama was a snow scene, where the heroine fainted from hunger, and the gentle snowflakes covered her fragile form. The company was on tour, and the Scottish manager was rather quick-tempered. At one theater he had several rows with people, and his temper was at boiling point when he dispatched two men up above the stage with large brown-paper bags of torn-up white paper for the snow. The scene began, and so did the snow storm. The scene went on, but the snow didn't. "Hey, you there!" safd the manager, in a savage whisper. "Whaur's the snow? "I've used up all the white paper, sir," came back a despairing voice. "Then snow broon, ye idiots! Snow broon!" roared the infuriated manager.—Answers. THIS IS THE AGE OF YOUTH. You will look ten years younger if you darken your ugly, grizzly, gray hairs by using "La Creole" Hair Dressing.—Adv. Retort. An English bank clerk, who imagined that no one was as clever as he, was recently on a visit to the south of Ireland. It was this young man's greatest pleasure to hold up the "natives" to ridicule on every possible occasion. One morning when he was out for a stroll with some of his friends he met a boy leading a very thin horse along the road and called out: "Say, Pat, why don't you get inside and fill him out?" "I would sir," said Pat, "If his mouth was as big as yours."—Exchange. Boarding-house Keeper—Susan, will the strawberries go around? Susan (the servant)—Hardly, mum; there's one strawberry short.

On the Authority of Samuel Pepys, the Following Account of a Historic Incident in Copenhagen If you "tell it to the marines," be quite sure you have it right, for that warring amphibian is not the credulous personage you have always supposed him to be. United States marine corps officers have traced the famous saying, "Tell it to the marines" to none other than our old friend Samuel Pepys of the diary renown, the original "first nighter," who tells us that the saying had origin with Charles II, the merry monarch of England. "It so befall," the story goes, "that his lighthearted majesty, with an exceedingly bored expression on his swarthy face, was walking in the shade with the ingenious Mr. Pepys, secretary to the admirair." "I had a speech yesterday at Deptford," said Mr. Pepys, "with the captain of the Defyance, who hath but lately returned from the Indies, and who told me the two most wonderful things that ever I think I did hear in my life." Among the stories told were of fish flying in the air. "Fish flying in the air!" exclaimed his majesty. "He, ha, a quaint concept, which 'twere too good to spoil wi' keeping. What, sir" (he turned and beckoned to the Colonel, Sir William Killigrew, of the newly-raised maritime regiment on foot, who was following in close conversation with the Duke of York) "we would discourse with you on a matter touching your element. What say you, colonel, to a man who swears he hath seen fishes fly in the air?" "I should say, sir," returned the sea soldier, simply, "that the man hath sailed in southern seas. For when your majesty's business carried me hither of late I did frequently observe more flying fish in one hour than the hairs of my head in number." Old Rowley glanced narrowly at the colonel's frank, weather-beaten face. Then, with a laugh, he turned to the secretary and said: "Mr. Pepys, from the very nature of their calling no class of our subjects can have wide a knowledge of seas and lands as the officers and men of our loyal maritime regiment. Henceforth, whenever we cast doubt upon a tale that lacketh likelihood, we will tell it to the marines—if they believe it, it is safe to say it is true." EASY TO REGULATE HEAT By the Use of Adjustable Thermostatic Controller the Temperature of Room May Be Fixed. By the invention of an adjustable thermostatic controller which is intended to be attached to a steam or hot water radiator a simple means of maintaining a room at a nearly constant temperature has been devised. The plan of the instrument, says Popular Mechanics, is such as to make it possible to keep separate rooms in a house at different temperatures when illness or other conditions make this desirable. The device is only a few inches in height, and is not objectionable in appearance. The thermostat consists of two corrugated silver disks which are hermetically joined. The hollow space provided between these drums is filled with a gas, the expansion and contraction of which turns on and off the steam when the heat in a room drops below or rises above predetermined points. A shield is provided which protects the thermostat against the effect of heat given off from the radiator. Science in the Kitchen. To plan a kitchen successfully one must consider carefully the scientific arrangement thereof. After the location of the stove has been decided upon, the sink must be placed. This necessitate a consultation with the plumber, as well as with the architect, since its position is largely dependent upon the location of the water pipes and upon the drainage. A generous space should be allotted to the sink; also, it should be sufficiently large to permit two persons to work comfortably there. It must be well lighted by ample windows placed above it; if these are double-hung sash windows, one may have the maximum of fresh air, even in extremely cold weather, with no discomfort while washing dishes or otherwise working at the sink.
