A Constat ( Liar.
"I used to know a fellow who wui
the most constant and consistent
liar 1 ever saw," observed Uncle
Hy. "but there wux this to say fur
him, be always lied with the idea
of pleasin' the feller be wui talkin'
tc or the woman he wui convarsiu
with. He never talked with a home
ly womhan without givln' her to un
demand that he considered her one
uv the handsomest females he'd ever
been acquainted with, and he seem
ed to be so much in earnest that
be really made the woman believe
he meant it and she wui pleased
about it. even when her lookin'
glass told her the man wui a liar.
Why ,he could take a rotten orange
from the box and make believe it
wui from a select tree in the best
part of Floridy. He never went to
hear a preacher without taklu' the
opportunity after the sermon wux
over to tell the preacher it wui one
the greatest sermons he had ever
hearn in his life and that heann
it had done him a wonderful amount
uv good. And the preacher went
away pleased over that lie as much
as if it had been true. Xo matter
how sorry a team a farmer drove
this liar would manage to make the
farmer believe the hosscs were crack
animals. So it went. That feller
told more lies than you could stack
tip in a week with a patent stack-
et, but every lie he told was calcu
lated to make some man or woman
feel good fur the time bein.' Now
what 1 can't determine in my own
mind i this: Did that feller's lies
do any harm or did they do good?
Generally speaking, 1 hate a liar,
but that feller wui an exception.
Everybody liked him and listened to
his lips with pleasure, even when
they knowed that he wui a ly In'
faster than a 2:20 hoss can trot.
He would tell you everything so it
would dazzle. Durn his hide, he
wuz such a finished liar I liked to
hear him talk." Exchange.

There is alwaja danger In t.x
trenies. This law applies to the af
fairs of married life as truly as It
does to our several habits and in
terests. Even in the case of husband
and wife there is a peril in too close
association. There is a delight to
be found in thfir chumship which ex
ists in no other relation in life, yet
it is necessary that they should ex
ercise a measure of common sense
in the enjoyment of these pleasures.
When a man finds more real enjoy
ment in his wife's companionship
than he does in that of others when
he derives genuine pleasure in din
ing out with her when he prefers
to make his associates in his little
excursions instead of electing him to
go with some other "chum" the
foundation of their happiness is laid
so firmly that there is small danger
that serious disaster will ever over
throw the structure.
When a man and a woman who
have married fall short of becoming
chums, the fault usually is that of
the husband. Occasionally, it is
true, there are women who become
so engrossed in the management of
their home that they feel they have
no time to devote to the small friv
oilitles of life. In most instances,
bowever.'the wife would be only too
ready to participate in her husbaud's
Pleasures were he to show a dlspO'
sition to desire her company. And
this is the right spirit that she
should display. Tito slightest ten
dency in this direction on the part
of the husband should be promot
ed and cultivated most ussiduously,
for there is more safety than we
sometimes suspect in un intimacy
of Interests that extends beyond the
lour walls of the home. Instead of
permitting her own carts and re-
Donsibilities from deterring nor
from accepting his Invitations, there
fore, she should endeavor to make
her own plans subordinate to his
program, und, during the time when
they are together, she should also
spare no effort in making the hours
pass as enjoyable as possible. I'
is only by avoiding every note that
may be suggestive of discord that
she can inspire him with an earnest
desire to repeat the experiment.
Attractive as all this may seem.
however, there Is another s'da to
the picture a danger that this
companionship may come to play so
vital a part in the mind of the two
that the chumsip may generate into
a galling system of espoinage. Love
confers many rlghst rights that
are Intuitively recognized and gra
ciously accepted by both but the
right to dictate the life of the oth
er la not one of them.
When companionship between hus
band and wife is so genuine that
they instinctively become chums
there is much happiness in store
for them, but let either become too
exacting let either assert the right
to the companionship of the other
to the exclusion of all other inter
ests and associates and the end to
happiness is as certain as the sue
cession of day and night. Because
the husband enjoys going about with
his wife, she has no right to in
sist that she be his companion on
all occasions or expect him to de
cline all invitations where sh can
not accompany him. If the wife is
! willing to play the "chum" for her
husband when he desires it, he
should be grateful for her company,
tut he should not wish for her to
throw all other interests overboard
.that she may live her life exclusive
ly with him.

Comparative
Digestibility
of Food
Made with different Baking Powders
From a Series of Elaborate Chemical Tests:
An equal quantity of bread (biscuit) was made
with each of three different kinds of baking powder
cream of tartar, phosphate, and alum and submitted
separately to the action of the digestive fluid, each
for the same length of time."
The relative percentage of the food digested is
shown as follows:
Bread made with
Royal Cream of Tartar Powder;
flOO Per Cent Digested -
Bread made with
phosphate powder;
681 Per Cent Digested
Bread made with
alum powder;
T67 Per Cent Digested
These tests, which are absolutely reliable and
unprejudiced, make plain a fact of great importance
to everyone: Food raised with Royal, a cream of
tartar Baking Powder, is shown to be entirely diges
tible, while the alum and phosphate powders are found
to largely retard the digestion of the food made from
them. ' '
Undigested food is not only wasted food, but it
is the source of very many bodily ailments.
