thought for his wife’s comfort and
make the fire; he should make his
wife a partner in money matters
and turn his salary over lo her.”
Approving in toto the excel

not refrain from reminding these
good women of Maryland that

to have a husband of Ihal stand

worry about? In the meantime,
the good women of Maryland and
elsewhere will probably have to
do the best they can with real,
rather than ideal. liushands.—

DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS.
W lh'ii unc is broad enough In
recognize I lie vie\v|ininl nf utliers
then, and then alone, is lie nr she
capable nf criticism nf I lie ac
tions of llial oilier. When an
incident, a llmuglil or a spoken or
written word conveys a message
of certain import to one person
and that person is surprised that
such message is not recognized
by some one else, then it is lobe
/oared that the complaining one
is not of sufficient breadth of
mental vision to he able to see a
thing from any but one viewpoint.
t'nless one can place himself
in the mental altitude of anoth
er, he is not justified in criticism
of that other. Because some one
does things ditferenlly or does not
do things that we do: because an
incident strikes some one as fun
ny and lie laughs thereat, while
In us that incident is sad in the
extreme, does not justify us in
either considering that that oth
er is either lacking in sense of
sensibilil ies.
After all. it would look as
though criticism should he with
held until one is at' least able to
see things from more than one
viewpoint. •

PONDEROUS PERSONAGES.
Adam.
>.By George Fitch.)
Adam, whose i"?ar name seems
to have succumbed to the tooth
o.f time, was a citizen of Eden
and other eastern points about
5.200 B. 0. Iiis record was ro
mantic and brilliant. Born an
orphan and later thrown out oil
his own resources at a lime when
employment, was notoriously hard
to get, he succeeded in living 900
years'and becoming the world’s
greatest ancestor.
I No photographs of Adam arc
lexlanl and no historical society
lias preserved Ihe collage in
| which In- lirsf saw I lie light, lie
| is known lo have heen wild in his
I you I li. having seen snakes and
ishorlly afler having heen ap
ipoinled custodian for life of Ihe
| Harden of F.deii, he was hoimeed
; for slealiug apples. I.aler on lie
| steadied down, however, and lived
I irreproachably and perseveringlv
for many centuries, aeeumiilal ing
grandchildren lo (lie ;i;ird degree
and holding Thanksgiving family
dinners each year in sonic ra
pacious valley with a Iwo-mile la
dle down Ihe middle.
Adam was not an educated man.
There was no learning lo pick
up when he was young, and he
s’ides it was 111,000 miles and (>.
000 years lo Ihe nearest C.arnegie
library, lie was no politician and
never made lull one) speech, from
which speech, however, woman
kind is only now recovering. He is
famous principally for I is work
in lhi“ census bureau. Appointed
head of I lie v ital stalislics of
Mesopotamia al a time when that
country consisted entirely of cli
mate and possibilities, he threw
liis whole heart into the work and
did not. cease his efforts until the
country was thoroughly settled.
This was afler he had made a
lamentable failure as a student of
natural history, and filly a fair
success in agriculture. From
Adam we should learn that no
man should despair when'he fails
in business. He can still sell life
insurance or run for office.
Adam became the father of his
country vyhen he grew up, and
Tilled the position an an earnest,
painstaking manner., spanking Ihe
entire body politic personally
whenever il Decided it. lie became
also Hie earliest settler, the old
est inhabitant, the grand old man,
and other local celebrities, and.
while he never went into politics,
he succeeded in getting relalives
into every public job as long as
he lived. He was greatly mourned
at his deaili and all of his great -
great-great-great-great grand
children. who were not too feeble
from age and disabilities, atlcml
e'd Ihe lunerul.
We may all look hack vv il 11 pride
upon Adam, for he is'I In only fa
mous ancestor whom most of us
have.

It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home pr duct; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valde*. should patroniz home products.
