Wisdom can win wealth, but
Wealth cannot win wisdom.
The best way to p’ease a woman
is to listen, rather than to talk.
The world may owe you a living,,
debt, but you are the only collector.
Beware of a silent man and a
dog that does not bark. Proverb.
Don't worry "nless you can
make said worry pay interest on
t le investment.
You will ne/er get anywhere by
staring up the ladder of success.
Start climbing.
"rhe first equipment of the knock
er usually is a lodd, disagreeable
tone of voice.
If you mean well, you should oc
casionally and often, as an evi
djnce of your faith, do well.
Usually when a man says. “Let's
reason together,” he wants you to
)i ten while he gives the reason.
Wise men usually are engaged in
trying to do something, while fools
waste their time trying to do some
body. _ '
Work that is thoroughly lubri
cated with interest and enthusiasm
is not particularly wearing on the
human body or mind.
When a man thinks he is good
for everything and can accomplish
any undertaking, he is most usually
good for nothing.
If you can not push, tnen pull: if
you can not do either, don't incum
ber the highway. The fellow
behind you may be in a hurry.
We are able to inherit health,
wealth and prosperity, social posi
tion and personal prominence, but
no one ever Inherits success.
Attend to your own business,
and in the course of events, normal I
conditions prevailing, you will have
a business to attend‘to.
While the days are growing
'..hotter, it is extremely doubtful at
this hour of going to press, if they
can equal the girls' skirts in that
regard. _
California fruit was chil'ed by a
frost Sunday night. Republican
fruit in California was more than
chilled by a political frost which
came a few weeks ago.
The boy who hates to put on a

“1 heard a feller say in a lek
shure down at the church one time
thet a gossip wuz +he lowest down
thing on earth, an’ blamed if I ain't
a little bit inclined to agree with

The Sage borrowed a chew and
proceeded:
"Trouble with 'em is thet when a
bunch of 'pm gits to talkin' and tell
in' each other whut's happened in
their neighborhoods, they run out
of facks an’ git to guessin' at whut
happened. They ruin peoples rep

makin' gossipin’ a pen-a-tensury

"Seems to me Uncle, remarked a
young man, "that I've heard some
of you old timers over at the gro
eery store get mighty personal in
some of your conversations.”
‘'Yes,” replied the Sage. “I reck
on we do, but we don't aim tu tell
nothin’ on nobody thet we ain't

There’s Room in Western
United States for People
Of All European Countries
The United States can swallow all
of Europe—area, population and all.
The entire combined computed area of
the foreign countries and the area of
the western United States is very near
ly the same, says Popular Science
Monthly. The discrepancy is 15,000
square miles on Europe’s side. At the
same time, however, Russia in Europe
would spread over the whole western
part of our country, crowding it to the
doors with its 111,000,000 of people,
being the largest of all the European
countries.
The state of California has ample
quarters for seven European countries,
hut its population is only a little over
2.000. 000, whereas little Itoumania
alone harbors just about 7,000,000 in
habitants.
Austria-Hungary fits rather tightly
across the shoulders in Texas, which
has a scattered population of nearly
4.000. 000, whereas Austria-Hungary
has more than 51,000,000 of people ac
commodated within its boundaries.
More striking, however, is corpulent
Idaho with its 325,000 inhabitants living
In an area sufficient to quarter 16,000,
000 of Europeans living in four large
countries. Then there are Montana
and North Dakota with their 000,000
people enjoying enough room for Spain
and Portugal’s 25,000,000.
Would You Be Strong and
Healthy? Then Just Walk
Walking is one of the best exercises
n person can possibly take, physicians
say. To walk properly it is necessary
to keep the head erect, the shoulders
back, and the abdominal muscles
tense, so that the abdominal viscera
are not allowed to dangle in space or
left to drop into the pelvis.
Energy and life must be thrown Into
the exercise and elasticity into the
step in order for it to be of benefit.
Deep abdominal breathing must also
be practiced. Of course, care must be
taken not to overdo at first. A short,
energetic walk of 15 minutes is of
greater value, mentally and physically,
than a listless, spiritless wulk of five
hours.
“Instead of raw March winds and
cold drufts—in other words, outside
air of low temperature—being the
cause of colds and catarrhal affec
tions,” says Dr. Felix L. Oswald, “it
Is the warm, vitiated, indoor air that
is the cause while outdoor air is the
best remedy. The combination of ex
ercise, abstinence and fresh air will
cure the most obstinate cold.
“Air is both food and drink to the
lungs. It is more—like water to the
j body—It washes them clean. One great
advantage the persistent walker has is
in getting used to all kinds of weather.
I Exposure to cold and damp will do him
no harm, although it might be fatal to
| others.
“Walking, if resolutely and Judi
ciously followed, is a perfect exercise,
which taxes the entire system. When
you walk properly every member and
muscle, every nerve and fiber has
something to do. The lungs grow
strong and sound; the chest enlarges,
the limbs are rounded out, the tendons
swell und toughen, the figure rises in
height and dignity and is clothed with
grace and suppleness. Not merely the
body, but the whole individual is de
veloped.”

Do you read the label to know whether
your baking powder is made from cream
of tartar or, on the other hand, from alum
or phosphate ?
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is
made from cream of tartar, derived from
grapes, and adds to the food only whole
some qualities.
Some baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both of mineral origin, and
used as substitutes for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and healthful
ness for low price.

Cottages for Teachers.
Iielieving thut more young people
will enter the profession of rurul
school teaching and remain in it nfter
they ure murried if they are provided
with cor.ifortuble homes by the school
authorities a campaign is being con
ducted iu the state of Washington for
the construction of cottages which
shall belong to the school plants, ac
cording to Popular Mechanics Maga
zine. Two sets of suitable plans have
been drawn and already some cottages
erected. The smaller of the two types
is designed for two teachers or for a
teacher with a small family. The
combined living and dining room meas
ures 13 by 19 feet and Is also suitable
for small school gatherings, neighbor
hood and mothers’ meetli.gs, etc. Off
of the bedroom Is an alcove which
may be converted Into an open air
sleeping porch. A raoderr.ly plumbed
kitchen and bathroom are provided.
Wealth Handicap to Student,
Says University President
Wealth is a handicap to the college
student, and the poor boy has the ad
vantage, according to Dr. Kay Lyman
Wilbur, president of Leland Stanford,
Jr., university.
Doctor Wilbur decrees that begin
ning this year automobiles may not be
owned by students; that too frequent
dances, the purchnseof expensive flow
ers for co-eds and similar luxuries will
be banned.
He has sent a circular letter to stu
dents’ parents saying students with
too much money are not desired at the
school, if they are inclined to spend
their time in the pursuit of pleasure.
The letter urges parents to refrain
from too liberal allowances and warns
them that as the number of entrants
this year Is limited, those students
who fall to show they are doing hon
est work will not be permitted to re
main.
ODD NAMES GIVEN CHILDREN
Seems an Injustice for Parents te In*
flic* Some et Them an Their
Helpless Offspring.
It would seem a poor sort of humor
to label a child with a Christian name
which fits the surname all too well,
like Sardine Box, Jolly Death, Holly
Stick, Rose Bush, Long Street, Seldom
Early, and the like, but It Is done,
nevertheless.
Of course, Nemesis Is sometimes on
the track of these practical jokers,
only his revenge Is probably wreaked
on the namebearer rather than on the
parents. For Instance, Wild Rose
sounded very appropriate In Infancy,
but when the pretty Miss Rose mar
ried the fascinating Mr. Bull, and s&e
had to sign her resignation paper wild
Bull It sounded a bit queer I
Somebody, of course, nobody la to
blame. Nobody was In the case ot
Ilettn Simpson, who married Mr. John
Lott, but she got unmercifully chaffed
over the combination, Hetta Lott.
But the font-fiend who perpetrated
the following joke upon his uncon
scious though wildly protesting bairn
must have known what he was doing.
Rrobably If the pursou had twigged
the dtabollcul design of the smiling
father he might have transposed two
of the names and spoiled the plot.
The parents were called Gunn, and
when the parson asked for the child’s
baptismal names the father whispered,
"Benjamin Isaoc Geoffrey,” and It
sounded all right. But fancy that lad
writing nil his life such a conceited
signature us B. I. G. Gunn! It's too
dreadful
There are certain names that aro
“ofT the map." Such are Jezebel, Ana
nias,' Sapphire. Judas and Beelzebub.
But occasionally parents have been
known to take a mean revenge on a
new and unwelcome arrival, as, for
Instance, Oue-too-many Johnson, Not
wanted Smith, Odious Heaton. Poor
kids!
Sometimes the Idea Is the reverse.
So profoundly thankful are the hup*
py pair to have a new baby that they
must express their joy at the toot.
Thus we get Merry Chrlstmus Fig
got, Welcome Jones, but It Is difficult
to admire such names as Noah's Ark
Smith und Anno Domini Davis.
Many people wrongfully conclude
tliut the nnrties bestowed by Bunyan
upon Ills Immortal Jury at Vanity Fair
were very exceptional. But his Mr.
Hatellght und Mr. Llveloose hud their
counterpart in the local director of
Bunyan's time.
Singularly enough, a volume pub
lished In 1700 gives u copy of a "Jury
Heturn made at Bye, Sussex, Eng
land, in the lute ltebellious Troublous
Times.”
The names of the 12 were: Meek
Brewer, Graceful Harding, Kill sin
Pimple, Earth Adams, Weep-not Bill
ing, More Fruit Fowler, Hope-fur
Bending, Return Spelmuu, Fly Debate
Roberts, Stand Fast On High-Stringer,
Be Faithful Joiner, and Fight the Hood
Fight of Faith White.
