Such is the statement of elderly people who. have been persuaded ta provide themselves with teeth. It is folly for any one to"rgo toothless, and it is equal folly to refuse to supply the three or four that may be missing on one side. Any mouth can be fitted comfortably . and after , the temporary inconven ience of adjustment has passed, the possessor of store teeth will experience a joy in eating that he had long ago forgotten ever existed. If this reminder or gentle urging should tempt any toothless soul to visit a 'dentist the ' G.-T.v would feel that this Christmas had not passed in vain. ' - THE END OF COOK The Copenhagen investigating committee says Cook's records are not sufficient proof that he reached the North Pole, as he has repeatedly stated. This makes Cook either a deliberate imposter or a victim of his own ignorance. If the former, ' Cook's feelings! at fhf nmssnf ovnncnm w;n v.Q I sufficient punishment.; If he Pole, as he stated, then the find ing of the Copenhagen court must come as a terrible disap pointment. . , Cook's technical ability in handling recording in struments has never been con sidered superior, and it is not impossible that his ignorance led him astray. However, Cook's failure to bring from Etah cer tain records he considered ' indis pensable to his vindication; his haste to sell "his ' story and get the cash from great newspapers; his disposition to 'prepare" his records and Droofs, rather than submit, those proofs "directly to some, competent investigating committee; and his final disap pearance and ; general shabby treatment of his best friends, his backers in all his undertak ings; all" tends to prove' that he is a weak man gone wrong. A man ot that sort needs no con: demnation to make him suffer the torment of the damned. The greatest' mental torture that comes to ' men comes to those who must acknowledge to them ; selves that the world knows ' the limit of their Weakness.; The i one desire of the weak man is to 1 appear strong, and he will de jlibertely attempt all that is im possible to him tp ferove that Tie is strong. But the man morally weak always fails when his effort is not sincere and the world's- knowledge of his failure and his j - i weakness ds thg greatest tor- ment 'that can come to his SOUL Before You Buy Come In.

Do you know of any.' family scarcely able to give the little youngsters the joyous Christmas all boys and girls hope for? 4 Why not be a real Santa, Claus once and give some pobr little expect ant fellow a trick or so that he will not get if you fail to get it for him? ; By loving kindness in this way a great deal of pleasure can be given at a very small out lay, and such a gift is certain to bring to the giver more a'oy than will come from many ether gifts. . . - The very best Christmas gift some people- could give them selves and tleir families, as well as their creditors, would be to pay off' present - indebtedness. Men - and women in debt, .with out a very - clear and definite ability to pay, that debt when called upon, can not: afford to buy Christmas presents for any one. ::'' ; - In giving gifts at Christmas time, any effort to keep up with the pace set by relatives- or friends in rfr.r.pr financial ' mndL tion is terrible folly.

For the first time in forty years the postoffice department at Washington Is considering postage stamps with an other design than the display of the features of some national hero. The dozen or more designs submitted for the new twelve cent stamp for regis tered letters show the spread eagle of the national coat of arms with the. stars and stripes adorning Its breast. IS PONCE DE LEON'S . - - DREAM A" REALITY SO IT APPEARS FROM RECENT INVESTIGATIONS. Hopeless Cases Cared at Mineral Spring ' - Lead to 'Comment. - ' . In' the days of Spain's splendor, wherf returning Spanish galleons brought precious cargoes of gold and other, minerals back to Madrid, wild legends of springs of eternal life were told in every European court, ;-sxiJ t Ponce de Leon, a Spanish' gentleman of great riches,, fitted out an expedition and went in search of the spring of life.. The ludicrous und pathetic ending j pf this expedition is :. known to - every schoolboy, but it is very of ten called to, mind by some, new discovery of wonder ful healing springs somewhere ; in the wilds of Africa, India or Asia. '' , -The recent and practical demonstra tion of mineral springs which make mar velous cures has again brought forth the story abroad of Ponce de : 1 Leon's myth: ' - - Paso Robles Hot Springs, California, ' are now the cause of universal wonder Handle Umbrellas, Hawke's OCCIDENTAL BUILDING CORVALLIS, OREGON stmas O.

But aside-from any romantic feature of the springs, dealing with its : Indian tradition or its occupancy by the Panciscan Monks, Paso Robles is to day among medical men who know, the cause of much interest' and scienrific investigation, V:- .,. ; . : Many are not aware of what a place Paso Robles really is. The1 town ' is by all means one of the most - thorough health, towns in the world. - It is given over to the cure of the sick. Its citizens regard its waters almost in an infallible light. .'.-, - - , - - ; : The temperature, altitude, air : and scenery make it an Ideal retreat. Its eures pf rheumatism,; '-. gout, stomach trouble, kidney and other - organic dis eases have been so remarkable that its citizens believe there is nothing its baths cannot conquer. Invalids from all . over the country come to Paso Robles. Here can be seen every strata of human hf e ' from the bank president in the sumptuous hotel to the sick man reposing in his tent on the meadows. - Paso Robles is distinctly a spot where weak women gain health rapidly, and an hour's conversation at the bath house will reveal tales of nervous women who have been cured, One wonders, after being at Paso Robles (The Pass of the Oaks) wether Ponce de Leon really was without just ification when he strated in search of the wonderful "waters of youth;' .
