That, tha majority of human beings baveiadigiiUon and kindred troubles ia no purprif e ts this d ay when the anni hilation of time appears to be the aim of everyone. Statistics say that the majority of divorces are due to the quick lunch habit, which develops indi ges'km and the eonsequent irritation that makes ar.y companionship unen- dursMe. What may ba termed the . "restless habit." ; cot cor fined to these United States, although the habit finds its greatest following in this country, and tre followers have spread the disease abroad. Very inter fating from at least ons point of view, ' sre the stories of haw 'the.autosiohilti hitit has made the proprietorship of one f these machines ail important, d aks earning salaries of twelve hundred dollars a year, buy autos coating nearly as much as their entire year's salary, while othera with mortgages on their homes let tha mort gage stsnd, and buy an automobile. Speed and nore speed is the demand on all siues., Autca on the great highways pass the exprees trains; the' row boat and the sail boat are drawn up high and dry on land, or aisa engiaes are plaoed in them, to give th:a speed in the water, which they never were made for. The flying machine today is less of a curiosity thaa tha bicycle was twenty years ago, And all this develops and increases the individual habit of restlessness. Apprenticeships are toe slow for tha youth of today, There is no time to gain thoroughness, therefore tha great supply of "jack legs", who can spoil raw material batter than they can con vert (t into artfeles of value. The master of on trade ia held rather slow, instead of being held in respect, as worthy of emulation. How few parsons there are who are sa&fted to live lifea which will bring t.em in fairly good condition to the O&'dt fe. Better thirty years of world 8ped, rather than sixty years of right jniJusefal living, with concern ice the Luman safety guaee of physi cul, mural and mental attainment The restie.i habit ia supreme, and the ultras glory in tiie rush which kills time and quite often themselves, and makes world cii!iir.g a far tamer trip, than the journey from New York to Philadel phia in the earh days of this country. The restless habit ia not hard to at tain,' bet it ia hard to get free from. Tha rup.H on land or sea, aqd even tiough the a'r poateaes its fascination, and yet the person without tha restless habit i the one who gets the most out of lifo, and is tha cna who lives to some purpose and serve beat to further the safe passage of nur.liod through OAD?OHIA. fonts Th Kirs!

Next in importance to removing the cause of any disease is th condition in which th system is left after a course of medical treatment.

A Telephone Should Be In- ' stalled In Every Honse, , i Thii-d of Five Prize Essays. . - Below We reproduce Dr. B. K.Hayes' "Reason Why Every Residence Should Hava a Telephone." This paper was awarded 3rd priae in the "Reason Contest" of the Home Telephone and Telegraph Company. I'The telephone is necessary in every home from an economical point of view; for protection to person and property; and as a convenience; whila it ever re mains a social luxury. ; .. The telephone saves servant hire, since every home without a telephone must have a runner. It saves ' a trip each day to the market;, it puts u in touch with our grocer and our druggist; it enables us to communicate with the dry -goods merchant and th dress maker; and it takes but a moment to call a doctor, "Frequently the doctor's presence is not required, but only a word of advice wanted. The telephone brings this word. : As a protection the telephone is in valuable. In case of fire th alarm is instantly reported; in case of robbery th telephone is our surest friend. When leaving home at night a mania not so much afraid of actual barm be falling his family as of some unneces sary fright The dogs bark, a strange noise ia heard in the garden, and the lonely wife begins to feel cold chills creeping down her spine. But when she calls the nearest neighbor oyer the telephone and a big, honest vpjee ans wer reassuringly, her fear ia straight way forgotten. ' . The telephone makes every man your neighbor, brings all the news to your door; facilitates business; widens your acquaintance, and puts you into the current of modarn progress. It is our greatost educator, and when one em ployed ia never abandoned. Time changes idess and conditions.
