Too many people think of thrift as a matter of hoarding money; while, in reality, thrift is only the best way of doing things and leads to mastering the art of simple living. The constant practice of self-denial develops habits of temperance in all things and be comes a great moral force. The con sciousness of having something in re serve gives poise, and does away with the anxiety and nerve-strain so detri mental to the American people. The sense of power and of worthwhileness that follows brings rich returns In service to others and in happiness to self. The training, now being given in the public schools, to develop hab its of using without waste, and of stor ing away for future use, is real thrift; and the inculcating of its principles by instruction, by practice, and by ex ample, is the great forward movement in the education of today.—From “Public School Thrift: A Practical Development," by Teresa M. Lenney, in the American Review of Reviews for May, 1917. "Anuric” cures Backache, Lumbago, Rheumatism. Send 10c. Dr. V. M. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., for large trial package. Danger. The other Sunday evening, when church service was over, a young cu rate started on his journey home, ac companied by two young women of the choir, when they began a conver sation about hymns. "What is your favorite hymn?” asked the curate, turning to one of his fair companions. "Draw me nearer,” she replied. At that moment her companion, who was walking on the other side of the curate, to make matters worse, said innocently: “That is only the chorus; the com mencement of the verse is, I am thine.” Then the curate sought safety In flight—Exchange.

There lives in Providence a very matter-of-fact man whose wife is, and always has been, a bit sentimental and fond of trying to draw from husband those little endearments he has ever failed to furnish. “I suppose,” said she, on one occa sion, “If you should meet some pretty girl you would cease to care for me."

Liver and bowel poisons called toxins, sucked Into the blood, through the lymph ducts, excite the heart which pumps the blood so fast that it congests in the smaller arteries and veins of the head producing vio lent, throbbing pain and distress, call ed headache. You become nervous, de spondent sick, feverish and miserable, your meals sour and almost nauseate you. Then you resort to acetanilide, aspirin or the bromides which tempor arily relieve but do not rid the blood of these Irritating toxins. A glass of hot water with a teaspoon ful of limestone phosphate in it drank before breakfast for awhile, will not only wash these poisons from your system and cure you of headache but will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary canal. Ask your pharmacist for a quarter pound of limestone phosphate. It is inexpensive, harmless as sugar, and almost tasteless, except for a sourish twinge which Is not unpleasant If you aren’t feeling your best, if tongue Is coated or you wake up with bad taste, foul bresth or have colds. Indigestion, biliousness, constipation or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos phated hot water cure to rid your sys tem of toxins and poisons. Results are quick and it Is claimed that those who continue to flush out the stomach, liver and bowels every morning never have any headache or know a miserable moment HERMISTON, OREGON. FIRST PRINCIPLES OF SAVING Men Must Look to the Future If There Ie to Be Any Progress Made by the World. Socialists claim that the world would be better off if every man received and consumed ail that he produced so that nobody could accumulate wealth, or be come more prosperous than his neigh bor. If all men were equally strong, intelligent, honest and industrious, such a state might be possible ; but the superman must come first. If a small group of men living by themselves save nothing and do no work to Improve their future, they will not progress. They would have to build and otherwise create real wealth for future use, or they would remain barbarians. The aborigines of Amer ica, Australia and most of Africa lived from hand to mouth for ages. Ameri can Indians were practical socialists, and they made no progress, though they were physically strong and intel lectually bright. They remained barba rians because they gave no thought to the future. If a few men, beginning with noth ing more than means of bare suste nance, put aside every year tokens of value, such as gold, acceptable to them selves, or build houses, make tools, cloth and other things of value that can be kept for future use they will Improve their condition in life and grow rich in proportion to their indus- dustry 'and thrift. The accumulation of gold or other money is a secondary matter. Real wealth can be accumu lated in other ways, but money is a convenience that standardizes values and has become indispensable to our form of civilization. When wealth has been accumulated the community is benefited by its exist ence. As it grows, roads can be built, pure water cun be brought into the towns, etc. Such progress is impos sible if there is no store of wealth from which to draw to pay or sustain the men who do the work before it be comes productive. It may be said that other members of the community could give part of the wealth they produce while public works are being construct ed. That is true, but It would be the exact accumulation of wealth to which reference is made, and its outward and visible sign would be the roads and the waterworks. By giving part of their earnings or products for such a purpose they put aside something of value for future use, in this case roads and a water system. Someone has to save if any progress is to be made, and the more that save the faster will be the rate of progress und the greater the prosperity of the community. What the masses lack is correct understanding of their common interest.—New York Commercial. Never Knows What He Wants. The nuisance for the man who has acquired great financial resources usu ally is that he doesn't know what he wants. Possessing the resources and feeling the normal necessity to have recourse to them, he looks about for something to want, and he selects the most costly thing. The acquisition of this most costly thing always involves, in practice, the separation of the rich man from society. Thus, he will ac quire a large estate, or several large estates, and cut himself off from the world by gates, doors, miles of drive, lodge keepers, menials, and secreta ries. Or he will acquire a 2,000-ton yacht and cross the Atlantic privately, though less quickly, less comfortably, and even less privately than on a great liner. Or he will keep a private or chestra, instead of being seen at con certs. All which, though magnificent, is antisocial and silly, and is secretly felt to be so by the rieh man when he happens to wake up In the middle of the night and can’t go to sleep again.— Woman’s Home Companion. Generous Man! A Scotch comedian whose frugality is as notorious as he himself is famous, had an engagement in Glasgow some years ago, and as he had a friend who could put him up for the week, no ho tel was going to get free advertising through ills residence within its walls. His host had just become the proud possessor of a son and heir, but his pride in the kid did not prevent him from giving the star all the attention the most exacting guest could expect. The Saturday night brought a taxi to the door, and while the host was carrying down the luggage the come dian, after bidding his hostess good- by, pulled a handful of silver out of his pocket and said : “Do ye ken, Mrs. Whitewood, if I had a copper I wad leave It for the bairn !”—Saturday Evening Post.

Any corn, whether hard, soft or between the toes, will loosen right up and lift out, without a particle of pain or soreness. This drug is called freezone and Is a compound of ether discovered by a Cincinnati man. Ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone, which will cost but a trifle, but is sufficient to rid one's feet of every corn or callous. Put a few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callous. In stantly the soreness disappears and shortly the corn or callous will loosen and can be lifted off with the fingers. This drug freezone doesn't eat out the corns or callouses but shrivels them without even irritating the sur rounding skin. Just think! No pain at all; no sore ness or smarting when applying it or afterwards. If your druggist don’t have freezone have him order it for you. Things We Would Like to See. A hat for the brow of a hill.
