True Living in Days
of Present
Dy diaries R. Hobart, Kansas City, Mo.
'Prepare to live by all
means, but for heaven’s
sake do not forget to live.
You will never have a bet-
ter chance than you possess
at this moment. You may
think a larger opportunity
will eome to you later, but you are mistaken. Any future larger oppor-
tunity is gained only by truly living in the days of the present.
Think! 1'se your God-giTen gray matter or you allow it to corrode
and evolve into a ne’er-do-well. Solve your own problems, make your own
plans and then don’t be too lazy to apply them. It’s your job to find your
niche, your vocation, some work you may like and are sure will like
you, but never for the money there is in it. The law of remuneration
takes care of that if you fit your life occupation. It pays to be happy
in the earnest playing of your part on the stage of life. There is no
understudy to take your place. It's for you alone to do the acting, and
all the while.
Consciously live, making the most of every spare hour. Desire to
grow mentally and spiritually. Meditate on the way to it through your
work and your recreations, physical and mental. Your life will become
lopsided if the pleasures which your conscience allows are postponed till
you have fulfilled ambitious desire. Soon ambition will make you its
slave and then foreverJjood-bv to the open mind and its happiness. Its
road carries you into a narrowing sphere of life, resulting in mere human
machines, whose hearings soon become worn and loose for want of the
oil of whole-souled living.
Hear the wail of souls in the markets of the world’s commerce, in
the cruel slavery of that hardest of taskmasters, ambition for worldly
honor and gain. What a price to pay for a dosed mind and a chained
soul! When will the eyes of humanity be opened to the worldwide swath
that false ambition has mown down to misery throughout the centuries?
Why do men imprison themselves in a keyless house of slavery ?
Live your life fully. Be free. Why should what the distorted vision
of the world counts gain hold you back ?
Should wisdom of action give way 'to custom and mere form ?
Should we fail to make the best of our inner lives because of what
people w^ll say ?

More “ Failures at 40”
Than Ever Before
By G. O. REED, Terre Haute, lad.
What chance of success
has a man after he reaches
the age of forty ?
In the last few months
any observant person who
has come in contact with
the “down-and-outs’’ has
seen more “failures at forty” than ever before. I refer particularly to
the men who hdve been out of employment for months and who were never
idle before for more than a week or two in each year. «
Those who haven’t found it necessary to hunt up another job in
order to exist will never know the heartaches resulting from such an expe-
rience. It is a hateful predicament to be in even when industrial condi-
tions are at their best^
1 have met many men of middle age in the last few months who were
out of work through no fault of their own, and who would have been
glad to accept even a menial position if it were possible to get one. In
this day of hustle employers are calling for the younger men. Youth i?
a great factor nowadays in the commercial world for turning out a “good
day’s work,” and a man at middle age gets scant attention when applying
for a situation, regardless of his ability or experience. The laborer that
is worthy of his hire in this generation must be able to produce abun-
dantly. He is merely a “cog in. the wheel” of the great industrial system.
I have heard of eases wherein men have made good after forty years
of age who before wore comparative failures, but they are few, and most
of them were prisoners in their respective lines of endeavor.
What chance has a failure at forty ?
g
Mother Can Largely
Prevent Diseases
By F. G. Aoderaeo, Philadelphia, Pa.
The mother is the real
doctor of the family. This
does not mean she can cure
diseases or should fry her
hand at doing so. It does
mean, however, that she
can very largely prevent
them, which is a much easier task and has no magic about it except
daily attention to the rules of cleanliness.
Doctor Hygiene, in one word, means keeping clean. It is one of
the happiest signs of these tim^s that the best aids science can give are
brought to the door of the humblest home. But cleanliness does not mean
merely washing a child’s face and hands. It must go in downright fashion
nil through its habits and surroundings. It means clean air, clean food,
clean clothing, clean things to handle with its deft and busy fingers. It
moans a house so cleanly from top to bottom that a youngster will find
it the hardest job imaginable to get his-“peck of dirt.” It is no longer a
<-ign of genius that a child can make mud pies in the gutter.
No mother wishes to see her children pale, puny, weak and ailing.
She has genuine pride in seeing them with eyes bright as daisies and brim-
ming over with mischievous laughter. They tan have limbs clean as a
filbert and tho soul of a sunbeam in their gaze. The scientists who have
swept. whole territories free of dread plagues by sanitation tell what is good
for a continent is good for the household.
f
Dreaded Rat as
Carrier of Disease
By PHILIP HALLER. New Y«k
To stamp out a disease
either contagious or infec-
tious to mankind or stock,
1 agree that no expense or
value should he sjwired in
order to arrive at a result
without any loss of time,
but it seems to rue rather a one-sided affair that not only valuable stock
but also domestic pets of every’ description should he sacrificed, whereas
nothing is said about the much-dreaded rat, which has been known for
rears as a disease carrier of the deepest dye.
Nothing is definitely known as to how* the hoof-and-mouth disoa-e
is spread from one farm to another. It will appear quite mysteriously
at a distant line farm and leave the nearer line one perfectly atone, as
if it did not exist, and because perhaps one of the disease carriers might
be among their number the deputies give orders to slaughter not only valu-
able stock but also to kill domestic pots.
The authorities should make it compulsory that all rats and even
mice in ail the infected farms and all farms in the same districts where
the disease has not yet appeared be destroyed immediately and the runs
and holes of these animals thoroughly disinfected.
The strong and drastic measures now adopted l»v the authorities
could be in many cases avoided and valuable stock and the lives of our
nets snared.
UGH! CALOMEL MAKES YOU SICK!
CLEAN LIVER MILS MY WAY
Just Once! Try “Dodson's Liver Tone” When Bilious, Consti-
pated, Headachy—Don't Lose a Day’s Work
Uncle Sam has one bank to every j
9,700 people.
Made since 1846—Hanford’s Balsam.

Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel
fine and cheerful; make your work a
pleasure; be vigorous and full of am-
bition. But take no nasty, danger-
ous calomel, because it makes, you
sick and you may lose a day’s work.
Calomel is jnercury or quicksilver,
which causes*’‘necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking it up. That’s
when you feel that awful nausea and
cramping.
Listen to me! If you want to enjoy
the nicest, gentlest liver and bowel
cleansing you ever experienced Just
take a spoonful of harmless Dodson’s
Liver Tone. Your druggist or dealer
sells you a 50 cent bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone under my personal money*

“Did you hear about Scribbler?
The police caught him walking out
of a hotel writing.room with about ten
dollars’ worth of the hotel stationery
under his coat.”
“What did he have to say for him-
self?”
“Said he was gathering material for
a novel.”
back guarantee that each spoonful
will clean your sluggish JiVei^petter
than a dose ot nasty calomel and tnat
It won’t make you sick.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is real liver
medicine. You'll know’ It next morn-
ing, because you will wake up feel-
ing fine, your Jiver will be working,
your headache and dizziness gone,
your stomach will be sweet and your
bowels regular.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is entirely
vegetable, therefore harmless and
cannot salivate. Give it to your chil-
dren. Millions of people are using
Dodson’s Liver Tone instead of dan-
gerous calomel now-. Your druggist
will tell you that the sale of calomel
is almost stopped entirely here.
Her Own Business.
A woman mounted the steps of the
elevated station carrying an umbrella
like a reversed saber. An attendant
touched her lightly, saying:
“Excuse me, madam, but you are
likely to put out the eye of the man
behind you.”
“He’s my husband!” she snapped
calmly.
Had Pellagra Seven Years
Thanks God He’s Cured
Cowards, S. C.—David G. Pate, of this
place, writes: “I am glad to say to you,
after waiting forty days, that I still feel
like I am cured of pellagra. I had this
disease for the last seven years. The
fourth day after beginning your medicine
1 went back to work and have been able
to do my work ever since. I thank God
for your remedy.”
There is no longer any doubt that pel-
lagra can be cured. Don’t delay until it
is too late. It is your duty to consult the
resourceful Baughn.
The symptoms—hands red like sunburn,
skin peeling off, sore mouth, the lips,
throat and tongue a flaming red, with
much mu£us and choking; indigestion and
nausea, either diarrhoea or constipation.
There is hope; get Baughn’s big* Free
book on Pellagra and learn about the
remedy for Pellagra that has at last been
found. Address American Compounding
Co., box 2088, Jasper Ala., remembering
money is refunded in any case where the
remedy fails to cure.—Adv.
Health and Excitement.
Tho sick rate in Russia has de-
creased since the war began. Part of
the improvement—doubtless the great-
er part—is due to the passing of
vodka, but something must be said for
the curious way in which the human
frame reacts to excitement and de-
velops resistance to disease under the
stimulus of strong interests or emo-
tions.
The refugees from San Francisco,
for example, had not been devotees of
vodka, but they showed a wonderful
health record during their period of
enforced opdn-air life and short com-
mons.
WAS DOUBLING UP ON LIFE
Small Girl's Unfortunate Remem-
brance of Mother’s Remark
Caused Embarrassment.
Col. George Harvey said at a ban-
quet In his honor in New York:
“We editors like criticism, espe-
cially when it is of the very favorable
kind that I’ve received this evening.
“But not all criticism is favorable
even for the most successful editors.
A good many editors, in fact, often
find themselves in the position of the
rich old broker whose little grand-
niece said:
“ ‘Uncle, how long do people live?’
“ ‘The natural span of man’s life,’
the uncle answered, ’is, as the Good
Book tells us, three score years and
ten.’
“ ‘Oh, then you'll live to be one hun-
dred and forty, won’t you uncle?’
“The old man looked around the
rtjom crowded with relatives1 and
laughed heartily.
" ‘Why, no,' he said. ‘Why, no. How-
do you make that out?’
“ ‘Isn’t it true, then,’ said the little
girl—‘isn’t it true what mamma says
about you living a double life?’.”—
Washington Star.
Life in London.
On the day after the visit of the
German Zeppelins there occurred in
Southwark — so a wireless message
from Berlin asserts—the following con-
versation :
“Betsy,” whispered Mr. James, lead-
ing his wife into the darkest corner of
the cellar, “here is a wallet. You will
find in it%ll our valuable papers, the
! stocks and bonds, my will, my insur-
; ance policies, and the lock of baby's
hair out off t on his first birthday.
Good-by, Betsy. If I fail to return,
bring up our children to be good Eng-
lish men and women.”
“Oh. James, dear, you are not going
on a dangerous journey, are you?’’
“Yes, dearest. I must go up to the
first floor.”—New York Evening Post.
