If you can’t agree with a man
argue with him, but don't rake up
personalities to throw in his face.'
Almost every man has a vulnerable
spot. Gne of the weakest is his
past. Let the past alone.
“And where are the old fashioned
young folks," queries an ex
change. “who used to play 'Heavy,
heavy hangs over your head’ at the
neighborhood parties?” They are
learning the tango and old fash
ioned ideas no longer find lodgment
within their craniums.
The game with John Barleycorn
cannot be beaten. So many great
and once good men have tried it
and failed that it is the wonder of
the present age that so many oth
er, and less brilliant, individuals
, will attempt to win in a game in
' which the cards are stacked
against them.
The entire civilized world is
short of meat. There are only
two-thirds of a normal supply of
cattle in the United States. Ar
gentina. that was expected to fill
our shortage of beef, has this year
slaughtered a much larger numbe”
of cattle than there have been
calves born, and will soon have a
beef cattle shortage. Civilized
people will have beef and bacon.
The cut over lands of Arkansas
and Louisiana can produce these
more cheaply than any other sec
tion of the United States and more
pounds per acre per year. There
is ample acreage of cut over lands
to meet a largely increased demand
for beef and pork.
TNI TRIUMPH Of THE CURRERCY.
It was probably the happiest
moment of President Wilson's life
as President of the United States,
when he signed the new currency
law on Dec. 23rd. It is needless
to say that this bill is the greatest
masterpiece of statemanship en
acted within the last forty years.
Under the wise provisions of this
bill there will never be another
financial panic such as we had
under Roosevelt in 190? and under
Cleveland (which he inherited from
Pres. Harrison)in 1893. In other
words this bill will make money
easy and plentiful everywhere.
Whenever a bank has loaned all
the money to the business men of
its community that it can spare,
and atill has calls for more loans,
the bank can take the stocks,
bonds and mortgages and other;
first class securities and turn them
over to the Government regional i
bank and get more money with
which to accomodate its borrowers.
It is this element in the bill which
will render our currency elastic so
that it will expand automatically
in accordance with the require-;
ments of business in every state
and county of the United States.

HER LAUDABLE EFFORT
BY EFFIE SAUNDERS.
' Ho you notice any difference in !
me? ’ inquired the little stenographer 1
of the bookkeeper.
“Well, that, depends,” he replied,
non-committally. “There is the weath
er and the daylight and so many oth
er things one’s supposed to notice a
change in—”
"Oh, tell me all about that some oth
er time!” interrupted the little stenog
rapher "1 had the floor, and I simply
asked you a question to be answered
yes or ‘no.’ 1 had reference to a
change for the better. However. I know
it would be hard for you to distin
guish any added graces and beauties
in me, ho I withdraw my question.”
“Thank you,” murmured the book
keeper, meekly.
“You’ll be pleased to know that I’m
a follow’er of one of the muses. I af
fect gymnastics—and t.hey, incidental
ly, affect me! Of course, gymnastics
in themselves are not my ai;n—rather,
they were not. 1 once could see myself
spinning around on one toe, rushing
gracefully across the floor with out
stretched arms as though to catch a
streak of lightning, suddenly halting
and spinning like a top; then vigorous
ly repeating the performance with vari
ations.
\ on know, I really saw a flesh and
blood girl do such things. And she
said it was easy!
I talked with her about it and, oh,
she was so graceful, it seemed to af
fect even her tongue! While Bhe talked
she moved around me like a fairy, ami
l nearly fell over myself in awkward
••tempts to get out of her way every
time she came near me! But she
talked right, on, and never noticed any
thing. She was so w’ell-possessed, as
a result of her dancing.
“So 1 grew more and more interest
ed. Site told me what she had studied,
and how long she’d been at it—Just
two years— and what it cost for a
course and, above all. how much fun
it was!
I felt the need of something of the
sort. When I’m out in company I sit
still and envy every one, most of the
lime! It seems that I’m the only per
son on earth who hasn’t a single ac
complishment! And after talking with
the girl who knew gymnastic dancing
1 could seP mvself calmly smiling at
all my new hosts of friends while thiy
begged nrve to dance for them. 1 could
see myself, after much coaxing, rising
languidly and. amid a breathless hush,
pirouetting into a wonderful dance!
I could see club women begging
me, as a favor, to help them entertain!
1 could see myself doing innumerable
dances with wonderful men escorting
me. throughout all the rest of my life!
"Well, of course, I couldn’t start
right in pirouetting tn graceful mazes.
I had to begin with the groundwork!
That girl had to, too, when she be
gan. It sounded all right. I thought.
I could hastily brush over the neces
sary foundations, and hasten onward
to the heights.
“I’n» still hastening. but the height*
have gone up so high in the meantime
that I've given up even wanting to get
there! Do you know, in order to
dance, you have to be able to swing
Indian clubs to music, just as fast as
you can go—whether your head gets in
the way or not makes no difference—
until it’s Just as simple to you as
swinging your arm over a boat.
T hus far I can manage to grasp
the club firmly and put it hack of my
head every other count without mur
| dering lny neighbor—and I consider
that this degree of dexterity Is quite
j an achievement.
“Then you have to be able to bend
forward, with your knee** straight, and
touch your hands to the floor. Now.
the tips of my fingers come almost
within a foot of the floor when I’m
bent double that way, and I'm most ap
preciative of the early martyrs who
had their muscles drawn out as far as
possible. Unless I crack. I fear my
hands will never touch the floor!
“Then you fcave to stand facing
front, and at a signal turn so that just
the half of you from your waist up is
facing back! I know it sounds im
possible, but it's required and that's
all there is to it. You just have to! j
It isn't the only absolutely impossible
thing that I'm forced to do!
"But, anyway. I've paid my tuition,
and they say it's beautifying, so I'm
making it my ambition now to grow
beautiful!
“Oh, yes—1 didn’t tell you that. The
reason I've relinquished the dream of
dancing is that I discovered that my
graceful adviser studied every day
of her two years, all day long! I have
been trying to learn in one hour a
week, at night! 1 suppose now, if I
fail to grow graceful. I’ll find that it’s
because I should have begun trying as
an infant, before my bones hardened.
But as long as they keep the bitter
truth from me, I shall continue to
hope!”
"You asked me a little while ago,”
said the bookkeeper, "if I noticed a dif
ference in you. I had noticed it before
you spoke. I thought it was rheuma
tism!”—Chicago Daily News.
Most Regrettable.
“I understand you have sold your
beautiful country home, Airs. Wuf
fles.”
"Yes. We hated very much to part
with it, but there was nothing else to
do."
"It was a charming place."
"Undoubtedly, and it pleased us in
every way. but we were unable to de
cide on a name that was sufficiently
bizarre to look well in the society col
umn."
NO NEED.
“T nm going to vjite some fugi
11vc poetry."
“1 wouldn't lake (lie trouble. No
body will bo miming after it.’’
MAIN THING.
TTo—I see where (bey have been
proposing a duty on bops.
She (anxiously)—Will that affect
the turkey trot any ?
COLOR CHANGE.
“Blue laws are generally ignored,
are they not ?”
“Yes. but as a matter of fact, blue
laws ought to be rtad.”
EXPERIENCE.
“So you invested in a silver mine
out west, eh? What did you realize
from it”
“Jus! how big an idiot I can be.”

TThen the liver Is torpid, It throws Impurities Into the system,

the blood, tho stomach is bilious, the kidneys weak and the
bowels irregular—generally constipated. Ilcrbine clears out all
these impurities, opens up the obstructed channels, strengthens
the torpid liver, cleanses the blood, purifies and regulates tho
bowels. After the system has been thus overhauled, there is an
Immediate improvement. Appetite returns, digestion is good, the
spirits rise, the mind clears of gloomy forebodings and everything
looks bright and cheerful, which means, sound, healthy conditions
