HOME LIFE.
It Is The Home Lite That Our Civ
ilization Is Built.
I he best of life should be and is
for nufst people the home life.
Thnse persons who are unfortu
nate enough not 10 have experi
enced ihe truth of this fact huve
noi known what is best in life. If
a nun looking hack over lite years
finds that Ins greatest satisfaction
ami happiness hus come from as
sociations and experiences ouiside
his own family circle, it is a bleak
and desolate career that he sur
veys, however successful it may
seem to others. The talks and
walks that a boy has with his fath
er and a girl with her mother, the
gumts that ihe family play togeth
er, the jokes that to an outsider
perhaps would have little flavor,
even the quarrels, ending as they
do in reconciliations that make the
affections more warm than they
had been before are there any
better experiences and memories
than these for anyone ?
Some people fear that the value
of home life is less appreciated
now than it used to be. They
think that automobiles and jazz
and movies and magazine fiction
tend to make people restless, dis-
contened with the quiet of home,
discontented even with their homes
We think that there is not much
reason to be apprehensive. The
love of family is the most deep
seated instinct in the race. Amuse
ments and excitements that pre
vent or diminish the manifestation
of that instinct can have only a
temporary fascination. As nr ihe
automobile, it is for most persons
a convenience that helps to enrich
the family life though sometimes
perhaps it impoverishes the family.
The American people are too
sound at heart to become careless
and callous toward the family tie.
It is on ihe home life that our
civilization is built. If the home
life decays, our civilization will
crumble. In the home life of
every family the members are re
sponsible not only to one another
but to the nation for theitnaintenance
of a high st.indard. In spite of the
prevalence of fiction that presents
domestic uuhappiness as its theme,
we believe thai by lar ihe greater
number of Americans meet the
responsibilities and rejoice in ihe
happiness of their home life.
How Not to Take Cold.
.Some percent are suhject to frequent
cold, while others seldom, if ever, have
a cold. You will liud that the latter
take Kood care of themselves. They
take a shower or cold bath every day in
warm room, avoid overheated rooms.
sleep with a window open or partly
open, avoid excesses, over eatiuir, be
coming overheated and then chilled
and getting the feet wet. Then, when
they feel the lirst indication of a cold,
they take t'hamberlaiii's Cough Kerne-
jjy without delay and it is Boon over.

MORE LIGHT.
"More lighil more light!" When sunsets hues are steeping
All heaven and earth in waves of living light;
And silence, o'er creation calmly creeping,
With ringers whispers heY good night.
"More light! more light!" When Dawn's soft golden tresses,
Blown through the sky, proclaim the vigil o'er,
And rosy, to the Zephyr's sweet caresses,
Aurora smiles through heaven's half open door.
"More light! Upon the page so full of wonder,
Which God's great gracious love to man has given;
That though the veil which ii has rent asunder
The light may stream to show the path to Heaven.
"More light!" For dying eyes when sunlight fails them,
And all creation quivers to the sight;
"More light!" 0 God! Thy light avails them,
And Thou will give it, for Thou an the Light I
AT GRANN Y'S
HOUSE.
At Granny's house things somehow seem
Like they ain't real all just a dream
Of days when Granny useft to be
'Bout big as half as big as me.
We like to sit in Granny's door
An' hear what she calls "days of yore."
Which Granny says was 'way back there
When sense was sense an' men was square.
Why, Granny says, une man back then,
If he was here, would be worth ten,
An' she says, wimmtn, loo, could work
As hard as some now sit an' shirk.
She says today things don't endure;
Why, just look at th' furniture!
You ain't got rockers more'n a week
Till they break down er start to squeak.
Them duys when folks got wed It stuck
judge didn't care who had bad luck.
An' Granny says th' wimmens then
Got out o' bed 'fore half pas' ten.
Oh, Granny's mad th' way things is
Girls ought to git th' rhemaiiz!
An' she can't stand th' way that ihey
Wear Sunday dresses every day!
An' Sausage now is all a sin
Th1 way it's got th' cornmeal in;
An' folkes back then cooked fer iheirselves
An' don't git meals from grocery shelves.
Oh Gee, .but Granny's mad the way
This world's turned out to be today,
Still what I can't git through my head,
Is why such good folks all is dead. ,
SCHEME WORKED.
Experimenter Secured Sleep, but
Hardly Knows Just Where to
Award ths Credit.
He could not sleep. He had
read (hat if one would put the lips
of the fingers of one hand ag,iinsi
the tips of the fingers of the oilier,
one could go lo sleep immediately
and the next thing would be day
light. He decided not io tell his wife,
With the lights out he placed t he
lips of his fingers together and lay
still for several minutes. Then he
moved slightly and was quiet again
for several minutes. Naturally
after a time he began to squirm,
but he kept the fingertips together.
The wife, noticing the restless
ness and the finger lip perform
ance, inquired irritably:
"Edward, what in the world are
you doing?"
"Nothing," he sheepishly re
plied, and was soon asleep from
ihe fatigue of holding the finger
lips together.
Now he doesn't know whether
lo give credit to the finger tip or
deal or thanks to his wife for break
ing the spell."

A Timely Suggestion.
This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re
plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It is almost certain to
be needed before the winter is over and
results are much more prompt and sat
isfactory when it is kept at hand and
given as soon as the tirst indication of
a cold appears and before it has become
settled in the system. There is uo dan.
ger in giving it to children as it contains
no opium or other harmful drug.
ALL ACTION.
What does the Work?
THE cleaning power of all soaps and cleans
ers is lye. Soap is nothing more than grease
and water and lye, sometimes perfumed.
You can make your own soap at a great saving,
out of Red Seal Lye. Simply mix it with grease
and water according to directions.
Red Seal Lye is the very best lye your money
can buy. It is pure lye, granu
lated, and pa'ked in cans that are
easy and convenient to use. To
use it by itself for cleaning
floors, woodwork, dishes, clothes,
simply dissolve it in water and
use the water as a cleanser. Red
Seal Lye, sifted into the sink, ab
solutely cleans out the pipes and
prevents them from clogging up.
It softens water saves soap
and is a wonderful disinfectant.
Always ask your storekeeper for,
and be sure to get, the old reliable
Red Seal Granulated Lye.
