He Gente wer menen lie selarsiendleas essex ial When a Woman Is Ripe Women are begining to look upon the age of forty as their prime. It is something more than the old alliteratiye maxim, fair, fat and forty”; it is the idea of the beauty and Wholesome- ness that goes with ripeness. And ripeness is perfection. The ripe woman should be not only comely ; she should be mentally sweet and sound; she should have social graces; she should have a well-rounded character in every sense. In a word, at 40 she should be the very best of which she is cap- able. Recent magazine articles have shown a number of public women, especially actresses, at the prime of their beauty when 40 years old. Now comes Dr. George P. Shears, of New York, with the declaration that “woman should be at her best be- tween 40 and 50." He lays down these rules which are notable as being something different from the ordinary beauty rules of keeping young: 1.—"She must cultivate a sense of humor.” 2.—"She must have a hobby.” —“She must have interests outside herself.” He thinks city women more likely than the women of lonely farms to live up to these rules. He doesn’t know, per- haps, that a new kind of farm life is growing up which makes it easy for the women of the country to cultivate humor, have charming hobbies, and participate in wide interests outside of their households. Nevertheless, Dr. Shears’ suggestions are sound, Women should be ripe at 40, as attractive as any other peach when soil, rain and sunshine have brought it to the stage of perfection.

Since then I have been leading a square, honest life. I gouldn’t stand ~ before all the courtroom and confess. I couldn't for my family’s sake.” The juryman explained that he had shot a man and was sentenced to prison for two years for assault with intent to ill. “I know you,” replied Judge Porterfield. “You are a good citizen. You shall not have to tell your story to any man and it shall not pass this door.” Another “Jean Valjean,” but this time he found a judge with the spark of divimty in his heart. He was forgiven and went his way, rejoicing. ‘Water, water everywhere, but not one darned drop to drink. | We Live on Water | we, falls annually on und within the.United States. This is enough issippi rivers; enough to cover 200 states like Ohio, Kentucky and Virginia one foot deep. What do we do with all the water? 4 Dr. W. J.

If ig eat two pounds of oe today, you have used tp a of water! A pound of beef is equal to from 30 to 50 tons of water which the animal has consumed, directly or indirectly, through its food.

Good evening! Have you washed your face yet? i We're Not Scared | James J. Hill is worrying now about scarcity of farm help. He says the farmer is practically limited to what he and his] family can do themselves. Well, is that a calamity? : Wouldn't it mean a nation of landed proprietors instead pf a nation of hired men? Wouldn't it mean small farms lov- ingly tilled by their owners instead ofgbig farms grudgingly till by employes? Yes, and landlords insteads of tenants? We refuse to be scared by the scarcity of farm help. Agriworship | A new interest, a new passion, almost a new religion is bound up by that new and rather unwieldly word, It means “the worship of the soil.” Men are turning to it everywhere as to a rock of refuge fn a weary land. They pray to the earth: “Give us this day our daily bread.” And lo! the prayer is answered. “L #ee you are paying the hospital expenses of that painter who fell off the roof.” “Yes; he's too good a man to lose, As he went down he touched up two, “Got to the end of the dinner or three places which would have| with three forks and two spoons been very bard to reach.” wtfll unused.” ‘THE USUAL RESULT The unconscious stranger lay on the sidewalk breathing beavily and groaning, Two teeth wore missing, his eyes wore marked and bis nose was bleeding. “Who can he be?” said the crowd again and again “L guess he was some peacemaker,” suggested the ambulance surgeon, surveying the wreckage.-Buffalo Express, SHE WAS IN A HURRY | “Can you walt on me Immediately?” demanded the richly dressed ‘m in a great hurry.” let me have your prescription,” paid the harassed druggist I have no prescription.
