THESE MODERN UIRLS.
"This new fad of women bob
bing their hair makes me tired,"
is the remark of many an already
tired crank these days. These in
dividuals should try to remember
that bobbed hair is not new, and
therefore it is not a fad.
Stone-hewn pictures on the walls
of the temples erected before Moses
of the Old Testament was known
to the world have found to repre
sent dancing Hgypiian girls, not
only wearing shorn locks but go
ing through contortions that re
sembled the "shimmy" in a start
ling and realistic manner.
Joan of Arc bobbed her hair,
though she probably did it for con
venience while on the Held of bat
tle, and history tells us of the style
being accepted by the women of
certain sections of France off and
on for quite a while thereafter.
Later, as far back as ISOO.when
women of cenain types, then call
ed "freaks" broke away from mat
rimony and entered the profes
sions, they no. only bobbed their
tresses but had 'em off completely
and even donned trousers.
So, girls, you see that you can't
start much that is new. This plan
et is a pretty old mass and it is al
most an impossibility to pull any
thing new that some one else has
n't tried out centuries or decades
ago-
ON (iETTINO MARRIED.
A pastor in one of the cities of
the country who is being sued by
his wife for divorce is quoted as
making (he statement to his con
gregation that "it takes a mart of
nerve and a woman who is brave
to face the marriage ceremony to
day." If this is true, why the "today?"
What difference is there in the
marriage ceremony of today from
that of yesterday?
It lakes more than "nerve" and
"bravery" to enter into the mar
riage ceremony. It lakes judgment
and it takes honesty and sincerity.
It requires the squat e deal beiween
the two parties to the marriage
contract. It means consideration
for the other party.
No man or woman should enter
into the marriage ceremony who
does not know how to compromise
on the non-essentials. Any man
or woman who marries with the
expectation of having it his or her
own way is headed straight for the
divorce court.
And this great fact might be
taken under consideration by the
minister in question as well as by
all others. When a marriage ends
in failure it is not wedlock that is
at fault uui liic parties who enter
into it.
DO IT RIOrir.
It takes very little if any more
time and trouble and expense to
do a thing right than to do it half
right. But many people do not
realize this.
And when you do a thing well
you get so much more satisfaction
out of it. Nobody is ever happy
over a slovenly job of any kind.
One of the main reasons why
many people never succeed in life,
and are continually discontented,
is that they have never learned to
do their work thoroughly.
General Pershing says the
army needs second lieutenants.
Well, as the man remarked when
he saw a woman kissing a dog,
there is no accounting for tastes.

AS TO VALUES.
A one-cent siamp, printed by
the government of British Guinea
in 1S56, sold the oilier day in
Paris fur $.12,077.
Fur that much money you could
buy a diamond ring big enough to
look as if a small hen had laid it.
Values are usually fictitious
imaginary. So, too, are the most
things in human life, especially
emotions and so-called knowledge.
SQUEEZED.
In one year the 12 federal re
serve banks of the country have
reduced their commercial loans j
from $1,224,53.1,000 to $.162,- j
662,000. The reduction is more I
than two-thirds.
There seems to be liule human ;
interest in thus- rigures. Back of
ihein, though, is the greatest trag- j
edy of our generation -the story j
of deflation, wiili iis hurricane of!
desperation, fear, loss, despair and !
necessity.

It is pretty evident that ihis Col.
Nun, one of the chief prohibition
officers, isn't one.
The party in power is never as
good as ii says it is, nor as bad as
opposition says ii is.
The call now is for red-blooded
Americans. The old blue-blooded
crowd are out of date.
Those Irishmen would get along
better with each other if they would

It would help the government
treasury some if Congress would
put a luxury tax on divorces.
Anybody can view with alarm.
It takes real discernment to he able
to point with pride these days.
Babe Ruth counts thai day lost
whose low descending sun hath
not seen him swat another home

A good memory is a wondeiful
thing but there is many a man who

NX'K suppose lhai after ihe Sen

The New York zoo has a mon
key thai eats like a man. Wonder
what he thinks of men that eat

President Harding's income

We will have to be careful how
we treat those South American
republics if we keep on reducing
our army and navy.
A Chicago woman complains
that men will trust a woman indi
vidually but not collectively. There
is something in that, too.
No' some congressmen claim
that they are underpaid. But they
will not get much sympathy until
they can show ihat they are over
worked. An Fnglish lecturer who was
over here not long ago says Amer
icans have bad manners. They
must have told hint whai they
thought of him.
CALOMEL GOOD
BUT AWFUL
TREACHEROUS
Next Dose May Salivate,
Shock Liver or Attack
Your Bones.
You know whai calomel is. It's
mercury; quicksilver. Calomel is
dangerous It crashes into sour
bile like dynamite, cramping and
and sickening you. Calomel at
tacks ihe bones unil should never
be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy,
constipated and all knocked out,
just go to your druggist and get a
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for
a few cents which is a harmless
vegetable substitute for dangerous
calomel. Take a spoonful and if
it doesn't straighten you up better
and quicker than nasty calomel
and without making you sick, you
just go back and get your money.
Don't take calomel I It makes
you sick the next day; it loses you
a day's work. Dodson's Liver
Tone straightens you right up and
you feel great. No salts necessa
ry. Give it to the children be
cause it is perfectly harmless and
cannot salivate.

flowers sold at lowest prices.
