: Do You Practice Thrift?
The art of acquiring means consist
mainly of thrift. It is in every per
son's nmvpr trt nrn r-tlr-i tliia a ft- Tn. !
try to . recount the values of thrift
would be to try to enumerate the re
sults of many virtues.
The best start in life that parents
can give their children is to teach them
thrift. j
'Thrift makes strength. The strong
men in any community are men of
thrift '
Thrift begins to be acquired when
one distinguishes between luxuries
and necessities and schools himself to
do without luxuries.
Wasting a cent a day wastes $3.65 a
year. This would buy the use of al
most $50 at 8 per cent interest.
The thrifty man does not have to
haunt the free employment bureau or
feed his family on mush and milk.
Thriftiness with money means inde
pendence of the pawnbroker and the
loan shark. - Thrift of time enables a
man, if he so wishes, to acquire a lib
eral education.
Policemen In the Spot Light.
At certain street intersections in St,
Louis, where traffic officers have fre
quently been struck by passing auto
mobiles in dark and foggy weather be
cause of their low visibility, they are
now protected by searchlights installed
on nearby buildings, which clearly re
veal their presence to approaching mo
torists. The lights are of the nitrogen
tungsten variety, high powered and
. mounted in reflectors. Placed at the
second or third story of a corner build
ing, they flood with a bright white
light the spot where the officer stands
At one street corner in the west end
the light is mounted at the itop of s
seven story hotel. The spot lights were
adopted after several other methods
had failed. Popular Mechanics.
Coffee Adamson Makes,
"Adamson of Georgia," a Washing
ton news item says, "is best known be
cause of his eight hour bill." Most
widely perhaps, but not best. William
Charles Adamson is best known be
cause of the coffee he brews in his pri
vate office adjoining his committee
room.
No newfangled percolator or chip
contraption for him. Coffee boiled hi
a tin pot, poured into a drinking glass
over a lunip of sugar, tempered and
mellowed with rich cream, served by
his smiling "boy," a white haired ne
gro it is that which makes Bill Adam
son best kuown. New York Sun.
A Lesson From Joy.
He took Joy home with him, and Joy
said, "Where's your fire?" And he
told him, "The wind came in and the
fire went out" And then Joy said,
"Carry sunshine enough about you tc
warm your heart and hands." And
Joy asked him for a fiddle, but he said
that it had only one string. But that
was enough for Joy, who made the
rafters ring with music. And then
Joy said : "The fiddle ain't all. If you'll
just keep some music in your soul
life '11 be hallelujah come down all the
days of your life." Atlanta Constitu
tion. Business Instinct,
Mr. A. So the Tompkins-Chorkina
match is broken off, is it?
Mr. B. Yes. The Tompkinses object
ed to Chorkins being so economical.
Mr. A. You astonish me.
Mr. B. Yes. You know he is a con
tractor himself and so sent circulars
to all the ministers in town asking fo?
their lowest estimates for performing
the ceremony. Pittsburgh Chronicle

Old Railway Cars.
An eastern railroad burns its dis
carded wooden cars to recover the
iron in, them. Before the cars are set
on fire, however, they are thoroughly
inspected, and all the wood available
for further use is removed. The iron
saved from the destroyed cars is sold
as scrap.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Cancer.
8
As to who are likely to have
S cancer and what are the signs 8
$ of its approach a bulletin from $
8 the American Society For the $
S Control of Cancer says:
$ "Cancer patients are often per-
$ sons who have generally enjoy- $
$ ed good health, have never been S
g seriously ill and who at the time $
$ of the onset of the disease were $
$ apparently in robust health. $
$ This disease is so insidious in S
$ its approach and so often with- 8
out pain in the first stages that $
$ the patient often fails to pay se-
S rious attention to the sign of 9
danger. Statistics independent- $
$ ly gathered by many surgeons $
3 prove that the average cancer
$ patient waits a year or more 9
$ after observing some suspicious 9
condition before seeking the $
treatment, which is then often 9
$ too late. This disastrous delay
3 is the main if not the sole obsta- 3
S cle to the successful treatment
$ of cancer at the present time. S
"The only cure for cancer is 9
S to remove every trace of the dis-
g ease. The only sure way to do S
$ this is by a surgical operation. $
If taken at the beginning the S
S majority of cases of cancer are
$ curable. All cases will end in
8 death if left alone. Records of 9
our best hospitals prove that the 9
S chances of cure are very high S
4 with early operation and that $
$ these chances decrease with 8
$ every day of delay. Early diag- 9
nosis is therefore all important." fr
How to Be Happy though Married.
Domestic happiness does not come as
a matter of course, but, like everything
else worth having, must be worked for.
Don't imagine that because you. have
won each other you need d longer be
affectionate.
Carry over into the wedded life the
refinement of manner that character
ized your wooing days.
Once in awhile let your husband
have the last word. It will please him
and be no loss to you.
Husband and wife are one, but it is
a parody on unity if each wants to
be that one.
A rose strewn on life's path while
weary feet are painfully walking over
it is more than wreaths for the dead.
Make your home a cabinet room
where all the affairs of the household
and sometimes of business come under
comparison and advisal. .
Many a failure would have been
avoided if men had consulted with
their wives. Rev. Dr. Madison C.
Peters.
The "Make Believe" of Flowers.
Cyclamen like to pretend they are
cross little animals with theiy ears laid
back, or else that they, are little fugi
tive maidens fleeing very fast across
the meadows, with their hair blown
back from their lovely faces. Their
whimsical trick of play acting like this
is all a part of their quaint mirth.
They have, of course, other attributes
as well beauty and spirituality and
love. Love I feel with flowers particu
larly. I seem to get hold of that ex
quisite sense of the whole world's be
ing wrapped in the essence of God's
love more often through flowers than
through anything else. They are to
me indescribably dear, merry little
companions. My affection goes out to
them constantly in a deep, happy rev
erence. The reverence is not only for
the lovely little things themselves, but
also for the wonder that is back of
them an ecstasy of worship. Atlan
tic. Curious Andean Keyholes.
A curiosity of the Andean villages
are the doors of the houses, which are
hard to open and hard to close, but
which, despite the intricacy of the
locks, admit the air freely on all sides.
Harry A. Franck describes one such
door, writing in the Century Magazine
of the town of San Pablo, Colombia:
"The keyhole was in the shape of a
swan. Others in the town and all
through Narino have the form of a
man, horse, goose and a dozen other
ludicrous shapes. These homemade
doors of Andean villages never fit eas
ily, and their locks always have some
peculiar idiosyncrasy of their own, so
that by the time the traveler learns
to unlock the "door of his lodging with
out native assistance he is ready to
move on."
Skating Advice.
Don't skate very heavily clothed, ex
cept in extremely cold weather.
Don't skate until exhausted and over
heated and then stop to rest in the cold
wind; that means a bad cold, some
times pneumonia.
When an overcoat is found an in
cumbrance wear a paper or fiber vest;
it will protect the back and chest from
the wind.
Don't try to skate in low shoes or
buttoned boots.
Don't wear extra high laced shoes
and do without straps, if possible, as
both hinder the freedom of the ankle
and stop circulation.
Always breathe through the nose. It
may be difficult at first, but after a lit
tle practice it will be easy.
A Goethals Story.
A bonmot of Colonel Goethals is re
ported from Chicago.
It seems that a Chicago amusement
agent sought out Colonel Goethals and
besougbt him to undertake, on the
completion of his mammoth task, a lec
ture tour devoted to the Panama canal.
But the engineer hemmed and hawed.
He did not seem overenthusiastic
about the lecture tour idea.
"A Panama canal lecture," said the
agent, "would go like hot cakes, sir
like hot cakes. -We'd illustrate it, of
course."
Colonel Goethals gave a wry smile.
"What with?" he said. "Slides?"

Her Compliment.
Balzac had for a neighbor at one
time a nobleman of high degree and
often used to pay him a visit in the
morning clad in the completest negli
gee. One day Balzac met at his
neighbor's the latter's niece and felt
bound to excuse himself on the nature
of his attire. "Monsieur," replied the
young lady, "when I read your books
I did not trouble myself about the
binding." :
Libeling the Glorious Dead.
Professor Robinson of Princeton
says on the lecture platform that
Louis XI. robbed the henroosts of his
subjects. Is the professor aware that
a man in Tacoma was sent to jail for
libeling George Washington? Louis
XI. has rights too. New York World.
v Reached His Limit.
"Has your boy Josh completed his
education?"
"I reckon so," replied Farmer Corn
tossel. "I don't say that he's got all he
needs, but I suspect he's got about all
he's able to hold." Washington Star.
Chestnut Wood.
An investigation by the department
of agriculture shows that blight-killed
chestnut wood is just as durable as
healthy timber.
Truth is the property of no individu
al, but is the treasure of all men. Em
