It takes a good deal of courage to seem cheerful In wartime, yet It is a detail of one's self-respect to keep a smiling face in public. A display of hysteria indicates considerable indif ference to the rights and comforts of others, and Is not good form. No mat ter how hard life may be, one must keep from scolding and scowling and complaining and whining and indulge in tears and grief only in one's own room. Chicago Evening Post. Uncle Eben.

If you wake up with a bad taste, bad breath and tongue is coated; If your bead is dull or aching; if what you eat sours and forms gas and acid in stom ach, or you are bilious, constipated, nervous, sallow and can't get feeling just right, begin inside bathing. Drink before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a toaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will flush the poiBons and toxins from stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels and cleanse, sweeten and purify the entire alimen tary tract. Do your inside bathing Im mediately upon arising in the morning to wash out of the system all the pre vious day's poisonous waste, gases and sour bile before putting more food into the stomach. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became loaded with body im purities, get from your pharmacist a quarter pound of limestone phosphate which is Inexpensive and almost taste less, except for a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. 1 Men and women who are usually constipated, bilious, headachy or have any stomach disorder should begin this inside bathing before breakfast Adv. - 1 MT JSf Xf M LetCiiticuraBe YourBeautyDoctor 28 TYPHOID Is no more necennary thanSmallpox, iumf experience haidemonrtrttci the almost mlraculoui efU- Cacy, and harmlessness, of Antityphoid Vaccination.

I was visiting a few days in the home of some friends. One morning the little son of the family came into my room. I pretended to be asleep. He approached the bed and stood for several moments looking me over from head to foot as if taking my measure ments. Then he said in a matter-of-fact tone, "I come up to pull you out of bed."

Why Crescent is Turkish Symbol. When Constantinople was a Byzan tine city, Philip, the father of Alexan der the Great, tried to reduce it by siege.
