GANG SPIRIT GONE RIGHT.
ACMJOl'P of boys, in mi average residence community, had
Hindi! themselves a pirates' den with boards and shingles pil
fered from various building operations in the neighborhood and
from the cellars of their own homes. To live up to their name they
carried on piratical exploits iuvolving the disappearance of a gal
lon of ieo cream intended for some one's patty, the entire crop from a
neighbor's pencil tree, and a pie set on a window sill to cool. None
of the boys, were bad individually, but as a gang they lived in a
dream world of adventure which carried them into serious mischief.
There was one father w1ni didn't condemn the gang. In fact, lie
confessed to approving a gang,oiily he fell that this particular gang
had started off on the wrong foot, lie had a friend at the Y. M. ('. A.
who knew about boxing, baseball, basketball and other . valuable
sports. First thing the pirates knew, they were working their
heads off to earn the money needed to join (lit; association; There
after they were so taken up with swimming ' contests, basketball
games, hikes and such affairs that they just didn't have a minute left
for stealing pie or smashing windows.
It is (in old story with many well known variations. It isn't
always the "Y" leader who comes to the rescue. The supervised
public lilaygroitnd, the l!oy Scout movement, the well managed pub
lic park, the parent who points (be way unobtrusively to the right
sort of activity, all play important roles in making the gang spirit
and boundless energy of boyhood forces for safe and happy growth.

1 HUM southern sens the authors come, astride of sharks and
... whales; the island graft is out of plumb, and now it's desert
tales. They fed us up on hidden reefs and all that coral bunk;
and now they turn to desert chiefs, who 're equally as punk. They
wearied us wilb 'blue lagoons, and damsels dark and fat, mid
now they baud us liedouin prunes, and let it gn at that. Some
gifted daimmd or dame produced a Bedouin tale; it brought her
seven kinds of fame and fourteen kinds of kale. AVhen this oc
curred the authors all were earning bread and cheese, by writing
stories, large and small, about the southern seas. But when they
saw that desert chiefs were strictly in the swim, they passed up
all their coral reel's, horizons far and dim. The dusky damsels,
promptly canned, were left in native state; mid to the wastes of
shifting sand the authors pulled their freight. For southern seas
I hold no brief, but they are hotter far than is the bughouse lie
douin chief who's now (he fiction star. And now for weary
months, gadzooks. tho desert stuff will reign, until the sandy
line of books gives every one a pain. And then at last some
chap will write another kind of tale, and till the, authors, in a
night, will camp upon his trail. ,

It Costs You More
to rot .buildings than it
z does to let paint save them
CHECK the costs. Compare
the prices of lumber and
paint. They will show you how
extravagant it is to allow build
ings to depreciate for lackof
paint.
And buildings, do depreciate
rapidly unless they are painted
when they need .J to be. Paint
saves the lumber. It protects
your investment.
To enjoy the biggest saving in
painting, use the best paint. It
spreads more easily saves labor
cost. It covers more surface "per
gallon than "cheap" paint.
It serves five or more years
longer than "cheap" paint.
The best paint is most eeonom-"
ical because it is scientific in

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a
Marvelous Help
WeRt OrntiRP, N. j. "I was very
nervous anil upset for six months be
fore my buby was born. One of my
friends told me to take Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegutaolo Compound and I
have taken it for five months now. I
have a big boy who weighed almost
nine pounds at birth and 1 do all my
housework and don't feel n bit ner
vous or upset any more. I still take
your medicine and have told all my
friends what good it has done me."
Mrs. MargarktGregoky, 440 Valley
Koad, West Orange, N. J.
West New York, N. J. "The first
two months I carried my baby I was
in bed almost every day with sick
headaches. I tried Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound and tho
first bottle helped me. 1 took seven
more and I know I couldn't feel bet
ter than I did. The headaches stopped
and I was able to do my own work. I
have a baby girl sis months old who
weighs twenty pounds and is the pic
ture of health."-Mrs. J. MrCoY,207

Nervous and Run-Down
Biloxi, Miss. "Just a word of
praise of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound. I took it with won
derful results before my baby was
born. I was ao nervous and run-down
that I was a wreck of misery. I had
pains it) my sides and back so bad
tnat I could not stay still or sleep
nights. My husband was reading your
'ad.' in tho paper and I decided to try
vour Vegetable Compound. After I
had taken half a bottle I felt a change
and was cooi: as well as ever. 1 took
it the whole time and recommend it
to every woman who is suffering as 1 .
was. People said that because I was
so young I would never pull through,
and I praise your Vegetable Com
pound for my good heaHh. -Mrs.

E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
for all prospective mothers. 1 suf
fered from weakness and faint spells
and had to lie down twice a day for
an hour or so before I could go on
with my work. My cousin, who lives
in Wisconsin, has used your Vegeta
ble Compound for over five years and
she came to us for a visit and she
recommended it to me, saying she
would pay for the bottle if it did not
help me. I took that bottle and got
more, as I found itgavemegreatre
lief. I recommend it to my friends
and sisters and am willing for you to
use theso facts to help others.
Mrs. I. J. KimiNSKI, 1813 W. 17th

GAS is a clean, convenient fuel. It comes into your
house and to the stove in a small, well-concealed pipe.
Gas fires produce no smoke and their flames can be
perfectly controlled. It is only necessary to open
further a little valve when more heat is wanted.
The advantages of brightness and cleanliness in your
kitchen in themselves are reasons for investigating
most fully the many other merits of gas, as a fuel for
cooking.
