AVOIDING THE LOT OF THE
BORE.
I'hc Century dielinnarx ilelines
a Lore as a person who causes
ennui or olherwise taxes the pa
liencc. Mrs. Wickersham, wife
of I he allorney general, recent
ly said there wouldn't he any such ■
if all persons refrained from j
talking about disease, descend- j
ants, domestics and dress. This j
alliterative combination of four
D’s has unite a formidable sound,
but it needs In be dissected and
considered in detail before1 its
direful dictum displays its due’
dread. Drastic find dreadful are
mild terms for the delivery from
boredom that is thus delineated.
First of all, no talking about
disease. That would rob the man
with rheumatism of his only joy
in life; no longer could the cold
in the nose come to the rescue
of the budding but embarrassed
vocalist; hookworm doctors would
have to go out of business, and
-the proud mother whose baby had
wrestled triumphantly, one after
the other, with colic, croup,
chicken pox and castor oil would
lie robbed of the fruits of vic
tory.
Think of silence on that sub
ject .Of descendants. Never a
word about "my Sion'’ or 'fmy
girl," or I hc bump I hat “my son”
placed upon "my lit lie girl’s”
forehead the lime lit", in proof of
his celestial nature, slammed her
with volume 113 of the Encyclo
pedia Ih'ilanuiea. That would lie
a hardshp. indeed, especially if.
Mrs. Neighbor were to be permit- I
led to ramble on til length with j
totally uninteresi ing and uncnll- |
ed for details of the lives of var- i
ions ancestors she may or may
not have had.
And domesiies what are they
for if not lo be talked about?
They don't half do the work, they
keep the family bankrupt, they]
save the best part of the steak I
for their own supper in the kilch- I
en. they go out Sunday night in
clothes better than the mistress
can ever hope to afford, they pick
the roses and poison the cal at
will; and now. if Mrs. Wicker
sham is In be believed. Iliev are
not to lie talked about. Imagine
the sacrifice that silence would
entail after Nora had been de
lected sitting on the lap of Pa
trolman Flannery.
roiirlh ami climacteric aiming
the four l)'s is dress, and well
might il lie said thal I lie-very idea
of not talking about it justified
still anoitier word of hat initial.
Silence on disease, descendants
and domestics would be hard
enough, but tile addition of-drops
makes the whole proposal impos
sible. Belter boredom than death
by inches.—Ex.
DYSPEPTIC PHILOSOPHY
Don't pul yourself under a
cloud with the sole idea of test
ing the silver lining theory.
The man who Halters himself J
that he leaves little to be desired
should remember that a burglar
does the same thing.
Some people are ambitious to
get lo the top jusl for I be pleas
ure il would give them lo look
down on I lie rest of us.
Perhaps marriage is so often
r failure because Ibe average
mans love is greater Ilian bis
bank accoiinl.
°!>me people are so consHluled
Hint they would much rather find
fault Ilian find favor.
To be really disappointed in
love il is necessary lo have been
married at least once.
When a fellow tells a girl be
would gratify her smallest wish
she may be .justified in having
grave doubts about her larger
ones.
Some petoplc give themselves
away and others are constantly
being sold.
The man who is loo proud to
beg and too honest to steal
shouldn’t aspire to a political .job.
Some people are so full of light
that even their own statements
conllicl.
An egotist is a man who is so
wrapped up in himself that he
pays no attention to ns.
Lillie buys soon gel Jirctl 01
their toys ami break them, but
little girls wait until hey grow up.
A woman is apt to believe ev
erything her husband tells her
until she has been married at
least two weeks.
I'nforlunalely it often happens
that the man who is most fond of
his home never succeeds any
where else.
Love makes I lie world go round,
and even divorce isn't always on
I lie sipiare.
If all the world's a stage, the
hackers are mighty scarce.
WHIPPING POST
FOR WHITE SLAVERS
( Continued from page I;
min I lie eoiinl ry. Tlu> roads were
lined with "roadhouses,'’ where
110 (|ueslions are asked, and I lie
dark eounlry roads gave oppor
(unity for crime.
Rag Dances Barred.
The rag dance also received a
knock, Ihe women social workers
who appeared claiming that Ihe
rag and Tango, Ihe turkey lrot,
tlie jelly wabble and the other
new tangled dances were driving
girls into a life of shame. The
actions of the men and women
would arouse Ihe brute passions
and start the girls on the down
ward path, after which the men
would abandon them to their fate
and Ihe girls would drift into
the houses of illfame.
To Tax Bachelors.
A lax on bachelors was also
advocated, I be men refusing In
marry I lie high-spirited girls
would give way to I heir pas
sions, while if they were married
they would make good wives and
splendid mothers. The lack of
husbands was as great a cause for '
the number of women as any one
reason yet given to the commit
lee. was claimed by some of the
witnesses.
C.adcls should lie- punished se
verely and whipped to prevent the
seducing of young girls, who are
the prey of these human vultures.
The committee will continue its
invest igations.

Economical
Ironing
To iron economically
you must not waste
heat.
Ironingwith ordinary
flat irons is very waste
ful of heat; most of the
heat goes up the kitchen
chimney; a lot of it is
wasted in charring the
ironing pad and in
scorching the clothes.
Ironing with a
G-E Electric
Flat Iron
is quite different — all tht
heat is in the iron, ready to
go into the pieces ironed in
stead of going into the loom
or up the kitchen chimney.
None of it is wasted.
To use only the amount of
heat actually needed for
ironing, be it either heavy
damp pieces or laces,
embroidery or other light
goods is real economy.
That’s why G-E Irons are
used in thousands of homes
throughout the country.
We keep all styles and sizes

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
t(Facts Are hads.”
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 prefer *nce 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 Valdez should patroniz home products.
