HOW MANY ARE POPULAR?
There are Many and Varied Kinds
ul Popularity,
opuhirity, be il of the right son
is one of the finest characteristics a
person cuii court. There are many
and varied kinds of popularity but
the only kind that is really worth
while is the kind that will redound
to your credit: the kind that is
rock-ribbed and not evanescent.
The man who bears the truest
brand of popularity is he whom
his friends point to with pride and
say: there is one of the squaresi
men 1 have ever met; I have never
known him to consciously do a
wrong or work a grievance on a
living soul." Could man ask for
any richer encomium? Could
man desire a greater monument
in the memories of his fellow men
than just such eulogistic remarks
as we have written above? We
think not.
Unpopular fellows are strutting
about on every side. What the
world needs is more of the popular
sort; the sort who are not wrap
ped up in self to the extent of giv
ing no thought for the other fel
low. There is a Scriptural text to
the effect: "Bear ye one anoihers
burdens." In following out the
sentiment contained in this text in
your every day living, you will
find yourself on the highway that
leads in the end to a popularity that
is enduring rather than ephemeral,
PREPARINQ FOR MATRIMONY.
Miss Alma was rather an attrac
tive young lady, and her bosom
friend, having missed her for some
time, called to inquire the reason.
"No, mum, Miss Alma is not
in," the maid informed her. "She
has gone to the class."
"Why, what class?" inquired
the caller in surprise.
"Well, mum, you know Miss
Alma is going to get married soon,
so she's taking a course of lessons
in domestic silence. "

it is unlucky to enter by the

taken along with the household
goods the new home will al

If a jar of honey is tha first
food to be taken in there al
ways will be plenty on the
board, but beware of a loaf of
bread getting there first. It
signifies thut the occupants
will some day want for bread.
A family should never move

almost a magic phrase to many.
But really it stands for honest
friendship, cordiality and (you've
guessed it) lota of delicious goodies.
Luzianne Coffee is always in

because It tastes so good. Fra

knowwhat's good-that's Luzianne.

THE FUTURE DAYS,
We'll sing the love songs over when the fighting days are done,
We'll tread once more the clover when the battles all are won,
Every band that's playing marches shall strike up an old-time dance
And through Victory's sun-kissed arches we will lead the boys from
France.
Oh, we'll find the days of laughter and we'll dry the mothers' tears.
Joy has always followed after trouble's long and dreary years.
We will hum our songs of gladness and we'll claim the old delights
Of a homeland freed from sadness when the family reunites.
Maid and man shall go a straying down the moonlit lanes of love,
Dusk shall find the children praying old-time prayers to God above.
When we reach the long road's turning and the cannons cease to roar,
By the home fires brightly burning we shall gather as before.
There'll be days when every mother happy lullabies shall hum,
Little sister, brother, there are glorious days to come,
From the great soul of our nation God shall lift this weight of woe
And with Victory's celebration love shall set our hearts aglow.
A SOLDIER'S DREAM.
Out in the land of heroes,
When shadows of twilight fall,
And the night keeps the sun in hiding,
Till it hears the morning call
'Tis then when the soul is weary
Of all that the daytime has done
'Tis then when the soldier dreams
Of the happy days to come.
Thousands of dreams are for dreamers,
But a soldier can dream only one.
He dreams of a home and mother,
He dreams of the days gone by,
A cottage 'mongst the trees,
The humming of the bees,
And a mother's lullaby
He dreams of the land of "No Man,"
And there through the clouds of war
Comes a light through the night,
And the world seems bright
Returning home once more.
There is a land of promise
A land that is bright and fair,
A land filled with love and kindness
For all who may enter there;
A land Riled with smiling faces,
It's heaven and and peace is the door,
' But a soldier to get within
Must fight through the fire of war.
Fight for what's right so that vict'ry
Will his lireside and loved ones restore.

"I am going to enlist," he an

"But your wile," we began.
He interrupted us.
"Bah I My wife ! She wants

My wife has insulted nieand "
"Tell us about it."
"Listen. Last night I was read

the wonders of plastic surgery du

how the surgeons are actually giv

"Yes and what did she say?"
"She didn't say anything, but
about an hour later 1 noticed her
looking intently at me. I asked
her what was the matter, and she
said she had been thinking it over,
and if I wanted to join the army
she would withdraw her objec

RICHLY ENDOWED.
Although Alfred had arrived
at the age of twenty-one years,
he showed no inclination to
pursue his studies at college or
in any way adapt himself to
his father's business.
"I don't know what I will
ever make of that son of mine,"
bitterly complained his father,
a hustling business man.
"Maybe he hasn't found
himself yet," consoled the con
fidential friend. "Isn't he gift
ed in any way?"
"Oiftod?" cmeried the father.
''Well, I should say ho is ! He
aiu't got a darued thing that
wasn't given to him." Har

HOW THEY ARE FED.
Immense Stores Needed to Peed
Men on Transports.
An account of how soldier's
are foil at sea is given in the
daily newspaper published on a
transport:
"Outside of providing 'JIO,ooo
lueals ut sea, the mess ollicer of
tho ship has very little to do.
Very little.
"Ho is only culled upon to
provide, by the regulations,
IWi different varieties of food.
That's all. Ever try to order
lsu different things to eat? Yet
this is the authentic list.
"The food needed to feed sev
erul thousand men ut sea ranges
beyond the glutton's dreams
Yon get the answer in the ship
down below the water line,
where 7,'1'M loaves of bread
have been baked in one day,
and where you stumble over
every variety, from iiO,noo
pounds of beef to 13'2,(ioo eggs,
or a compartment of brick ice
cream in a 10-degree-above zeio
vault.
'And if this doesn't suit you,
you can bump along into 4U,:24
pounds of potatoes,;, 1 1 10 pounds
of ham and bacon, 7, 800 pounds
of butter, 9,200 pounds of sugar
and lit, Clio pounds of flour.
"If you cau't get a meal out
of this you can still fall back on
4, lion pounds of sausage, 11,400
pounds of sauerkraut, 2t),ooo
pounds of apples, 18,800 pounds
of oranges and 4,20Q pounds of
onions. And this leaves out
1,000 pounds of jam and ,4iXi
pounds of lima and navy
beans."
Jaggs says this raw, damp
weather just suits him.
Why, 1 understood him to say
his wife was very susceptible to
cold.
Thai's just it. When she takes
cold, she can't speak above a
whisper.

A GRAND SCHEME.
A down town music store is
advertising a popular song by
means of a sort of tableau win
dow display. There is a phono
graph; a bed, and baby doll
saying her prayers at the bed
sido. A little girl was looking in
teresting ut the window. Fi
nally she turned to her mother
and said:
"Mamma, why wouldn't that
be a good idea for me?"
"Why wouldn't what be a
good idea?" asked the mother.
"Why to put my prayers on a
record and have the machine
play 'em evory night before I
go to bed!"

Few medicinci have met with more
favor or accomplished more (rood than
Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea

Sask., says of it: "I have used Cham

myf II and ia my family, and cau rec
ommend it as being an exceptionally
tins preparation."
THE SHOE MA USED.
A lady saw a little boy go in
to a ahoeiiuikHr'a shop with a
small parcel. She asked him
what was in it. His reply
was:
"Oh, it's mamma's shoe,
which has a nail sticking out of
the bottom of the sole, so I've
come to have it taken out.'
"You are a good little boy
to have so much thought for
your mother," remarked the
lady.
"Oh, it is not so much for that,
madam," was his reply, "but
this is the shoe ma spanks me
with." Pearson's Weekly.
Cause ol Despondency.
Despondency is often caused by indi
gestion and constipation, and quickly
disappears when Chamberlain's Tablets
are takes. These tablets strengthen
the digestion and more the bowels.
