The mun who sold me the pat ent rooting after trying several times to make it satisfactory. finally admit ted the best rooting material for the ordinary cottage is the old-fashioned pine shingle of tlrst grade. Any new idea is a risk until it has been prac tically tried out at least a hundred years. 1 will remember that this sum mer when tearing off the patent roof to replace it with old-fashioned pine. Thus I learn; thus everyone learns. ? ? ? In a certain town there is a man everybody says is crazy. Lately he wrote a letter for the Public Mind col umn of the local paper, and the editor printed it exactly as written, as a "Joke." The man can't spell, but ex presses more clear common sense about public alTairs than I have known a citizen to write In years. lie op poses the present mania for inilntlon ; for government help for everybody ; says the only remedy Is economy, In dustry, better behavior, and less poli tics, and agrees with Europeans gen erally that Americans seem deter mined to commit suicide. ,A man knowing that much Isn't crazy. ? ? ? Americans not educated themselves have a tremendous notion of the bene fits to be derived from a classical edu cation. I met a farmer recently who had lost his farm t cause of sending three sons to college. This father be lieved that a classical education would specially arm and equip his children for their battle with life, but he told me that, after graduation, his sons re turned home, and he could not see they had been benefited. Employers even had a prejudice against them, and many Ignorant foreigners were be ing given employment when Ills sons could not get it. * ? * In the erchange of every dollar there is an element of dishonesty on one side or the other; in every legal transaction as much dishonesty as the traffic will Iw.-ar. The law itself leans toward dishonesty, as ^ tribute to hu n^an necessities. A man may keep well within the law and still exercise Considerable of his naturally roguish disposition. What is all this human bargaining about? In every case a man or wom an declaring to. another he. Is asking too much. It is the first Job of all of us to become capable traders; if we are not, we are robbed. Why do we have locks on all our doors? Why are taxi drivers, street car conductors, clerks, compelled to ring a bell when they take in a cash fare? Why are county treasurers, all classes officials, bonded? It Is ac knowledgment of the universal belief In dishonesty. Just-recently twenty of the world's most prominent business men were in vestigated by congress. The first one called to the witness stand said : "We keep well within the law." Visit an Indian camp and the bucks will all say: "I'm a good Indian." We all know we are under suspicion and what Is expected of us: to keep well within the law ? to be good In dians. ? ? * Every man handles the women a lit tle differently. I have a neighbor who has walked out on three wives ("quit them cold," as the neighbors say). Still another man I know well has been thirty-four years getting rid of one, and isn't entirely out of the woods .vet. In meeting the emer gencies of life ? and, with men, wom en occupy first place In creating them ?I have come to believe the most hon orable way Is pretty generally the eas iest way. For Instance: The husband who has walked out on three wives badly crippled himself three times, whereas the other man, who displayed more fairness. Is still going fairly good. ? + ? After you become Aid (as I am) you will find one of your heaviest burdens Is being regulated too much. . I do not object to proper regulations, but I am regulated dally and hourly when I have not offended, and regulation Is not necessary. I try to meet the nafurnl duties of life with patience, but am heavily burdened by regula tors self-appointed, and who should. In any fair consideration of fairness and common sense, let me more qui etly pursue my natural tasks. ? ? ? In our attempts to acquire learning, we hnve unhappily learned much we must unlearn. ? ? ? I have frequently noted the man who Is always telling what he says to his wife, something after tills fashion: "Sweetheart, don't you think a little vacation would do you good? You urn not looking any too well this spring, darling, and I am worrying about you." etc. ... I rarely like such a husband. ? * * I have no sympathy with the old cry that men should love each other; <]<v cent toleration of the faults of each other Is all the Lord expected ? mort than wo grant ?. 1?J*. ftolt Ryn<1lA?t?. ? WNtl > CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA Civil wars, the antl-Chrlstlan move ment and the rise of nationalism have caused a decline of fr^ui 50,000 to 70,000 in Christian church mem bership In China, according to the third Installment of the report of the laymen'B foreign missions inquiry made public by Albert Scott, chair man, says the Literary Digest The total number of Christians In China Is assumed to be 400,000. "Since the growth of the national spirit Christianity has come under bitter attack as tending to denatlon* allze its adherents," says the report. MA genuine and acute sense of shame seems to have taken possession of not a few Christians. Nationalism has put Christianity on the defensive to prove the patriotism of its adher ents." If you want to GET RID of Constipation worries - Science says Today * use a LIQUID Laxative 1. Control intestinal action exactly ? no " purging " 2. Measure to suit your individual needs to the drop 3. Banish Bowel Fatigue and the laxative habit Here's Why: Any hospital offers evidence of the harm done by harsh laxatives that drain the system, weaken the bowel muscles, and in some cases even affect the liver and kidneys. A doctor will tell you that the unwise choice of laxatives is a com mon cause of chronic constipation. Fortunately, th<f public is fast returning to the use of laxatives in liquid form. A properly prepared liquid laxa tive brings a perfect movement. There is ho discomfort at the time and no weakness after. You don't have to take "a double dose" a day or two later. In buying any laxative, alivays read the label. Not the claims, but the contents. If it contains one doubtful drug, don't take it. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a prescriptional preparation in which there are no mineral drugs. Its in gredients are on the label. By using it, you avoid danger of bowel strain. You can keep the bowels regular, and comfortable; you can make constipated spells as rare as colds. The liquid tesf: This test has proved to many men and women that their trouble was not "weak bowels", but strong cathartics: First. Select a good liquid laxa tive. 2. Take the dose you find is suited to your system. 3." Gradually reduce the doso until bowels are moving regularly without any need of stimulation. Syrup pepsin has the highest standing among liquid laxatives, and is the one generally used. It contains senna, a natural laxative which is perfectly safe for tho youngest child.
