GOOD OLl> WORDS BECOMING
OBSOLETE
Boy, Girl, Child, Children—those
are good old words, as ancient as
th-■» language we speak, and entitled
to the utmost respect from people
who lay any claim to refinement
and intelligence, says the Portland
Telegram. But do you know Mr.
■ ioodmau aud Madame Good woman
that those words are in danger of
upcoming obsolete?
That is the fact. Jast keep your
ear's open a little and you soon will
t'O convince J of it. The new genera
tion is about to thrust these old and
distinguished members of the Eng
lish lauguage fajuily into outer
darkness, and substitute therefor
!ue cynical, low-peditreed noun
"Kid "
So true is this that one may
s;^::d the day talkiiu; with all the
children lie may meet, whether
singly or in groups, and 99 per ceut
of those boys and girls will refer
to each other and to their play
mates generally as th« progeny of
a goat.
Why? Because tha; 99 per ceut
of boys and girls hear little or noth
ing else among their elders. It is
' kid," "kiddie" and "kiddo," and
the least elegant of these three,
"kiddo."
The thought is, how does this
strike the father and mother who
would like to be credited as rea
sonably cultured and refined citi
zens? Can such people say that
they like this rather contemptuous
siai.g of low breeding, as befitting
their children, better than the sweet
old English words—boy, girl, child,
children?
Iti the discussion of this matter
we are not straining after any
nish-brov.-eil, purist effect. We are
£ imply stating a plain and palpable
fact, that these splendid words,
which denote something of the love
and the teuder respec* we have for
oar sous and daughtns are by
mere earlessness going out of use,
so that in course of time parents
will not tnv of their daughter: "She
is our girl, but she's our 6he-kid,
or little N'annv; and of the son:
He's our he-kid, or little. Billy.
This is not a case of the sur
vival of the fittest. It is the
penalty of thoughtlessness.
SAYS IT'S SISSY
Recent remark quoted from Rev.
Billy Sunday was to th" effect ^hat
law a tenuis is a little too "sissi
fied" a game to please him. Prob
ably no moiity in it. If Billy
were to start in playing it this
spring, he might soon find himself
more winded than he ever got on
the ball field, or in the pulpit.
Lrwu tennis constantly grows in
popularity, owing to its adaptability
[to limited spaces. It requires u«
costly grounds, running into the
I thousands or tens of thousands, like
golf. The ordinary subvrban back
yard is apt to be big enough. While
:i good court may cost a hundred or
two dollars or more, an inexpensive
layout can be had lor much less.
So, although it used tr. be called
the "dude game," it has the quali
ties of a very democratic sport.
The real objection to lawn tennis
is quite the opposite ol that stated
by Billy Sunday. It is so very ac
tive that few men play it after they
have reached middle age. The Ion
rallies, when a ball is kept see-saw
ing back and forth over the net in
to different corners of the court,
will run the breath out of any but
a man who is well in training. Sun
day could doubtless qualify on the
breath end of the game, at least.
It is more fatiguing than running
on a straight track could be. The
player must first sprint in one di
rection, then pull himself up, re
cover balance and run back again.
The irregular and intense activity
calls for a high degree of nervous
control and muscular endurance.
-Xo game is more practical for
physical development of young peo
ple. Played in groups of two,
three, or four people, it calls for
no elaborate machinery of organiza
tion. The athletic candidates that
are disheartened by rejection from
a school or college ball team, can
resort to the tennis court, and get
a better physical development than
they would have secured on the dia
mond. In most schools the num
ber of tenuis players is usually
limited only by the number Of
ojurts, which are commonly to» few.
i"robably the time will come when
tennis will be the usual outdoor
adjunct to public high schools.—

THE UNEXPECTED.
Says the poet ol the Alcestis,
"The things lha! seemed likely
are not fulfilled, but heaven find?
the way ol the unexpected.
DISCRIMINATING LADIfcS.
i3njoy Using nerplclde on Account ol
ItM Distinctiveness.
The tollies who have used Xewbro's
nerplcidc speak of it In the highest
terms, for it3 quick effect in cleansing
ihe scalp of dandruff and also for its ex
cellence as a general hair-dressing. It
makes the scalp feel fresh and it allays
that itching which dandruff will cause.
>Tev-bro's Kerpicide effectively cures
dandruff, as It destroys the germ that
causes it. The same germ causes hair to
fall out. and later baldness; in ltiilinsr it
H-rplcide stops falling hair and prevent?
baldness. It is also an ideal hair dress
tog. for it lends an aristocratic charm to
the hair that is quite distinctive. Sold
by leading druggists. Send 10c. in stumps

Comforting Words
Many un Alnskaii Household Will
Find Them So.
To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed—to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous ur
inary disorders, is to make any
kidney sufferer grateful. The fol
lowing advice of one who has suf
fered will prove comforting words
to hundreds of Alaskan readers.
P. E. Sanderson, 819 First St.,
San Diego, Cal., says: "A severe at
tack of la grippe laid me up for
five weeks My back got very pain
ful, laine and weak. My kidneys
were in bad shape. 1 felt all
run down. I read about Doan's Kid
uey Pills and got a box. They
fixed me up all right. Whenever I
have taken cold on my kidneeys
since, I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills. They have always brought
good results "
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Sanderson had. Foster
