Life's Problems Are Discussed By Mrs. Wilson Woodrow. When he was born there were still more stage coaches than rail roads, more sailing vessels than steamers. He has seen the inception und development of all those won-1 derful inventions and discoveries which have practically transformed! the earth— the telegraph, the tele-1 phone, the automobile, the wireless. | the aeroplane. The world has rushed j on with giant strides, and yet he has kept pace with it at every step. And to-day at eighty-two he is an active j member of society—a current issue, j no back number bound in yesterday's! musty covers. When he writes to jne it is to touch upon some timely topic of discussion, a question of public manners or behavior or some abuse of privilege which he has noted in his journey ings to and fro. And his observations are colored and enriched by his long! and valuable experience. It is to marvel at the flexibiltiy' of the human mind when one sees; it thus adapt itself to circumstances' so utterly different from those of; its early association and environ- 1 ment. This man has seen America in the making; he has first-hand know ledge of the events of almost a cen tim—tne ure;'te t centurv of pro gress in the history of the world. No doubt when he was a boy ho heard heated discussions* on the Missouri Compromise and the Dred Scott decision. Abolition was a burn ing question when he was in his twenties. He has lived a thousand lives in one. But the great fact about him is that his face is always set forward, and he marches to the music of tho times. It is those who hesitate and linger and look back who desiccate and turn into pillars of salt. I had always had a horror of old Restore natural color to gray hair.

Both oi them were famous.; They had done a woman's work and '! a man's combined in the world. | Neither of them had asked any " handicaps for sex, and the scrim- \ 'image bud been a tough one; for! they had made their fight in a day, when the opportunities for women' " j were tew. They were frankly old j now. They made no effort to conceal the fact. But what a splendid thing ! they made of dt. In their presence 3 one realized that youth was not a • matter of the flesh, but of the mind; - and the spirit. ': Other women of their age, who 3 had known nothing but sheltered! ease, were merely feeble, elderly | ' ladies; but these two had lived so intensely in big interests and en-; thusiasms that they radiated vitality; annd power. They, like many correspondents of ! eighty-odd years, had no time for ! mournful reveries anxl recollections. : They remembered only interesting and delightful things. They weiej out in the thick of it, calling cheei-! ! lly: I" "Grow old along with me; The best is yet to be." I met a man recently whom I had j | not seen for several years, and I wis | shocked not only by the physical butj j mental change In him. So far as j wont I knew that he was only in | middle life, but he looked an under study to Methuselah. The reason was obvious. Continually in his con versation ho reverted to doleful in cidents in the past. I brought up a dozen subjects of j present concern, but he brushed [ them aside with a mere cynical com j ment or an indifferent wave of the hand, and went back to his "I re- I members," and "Probably youare too I young to recall this, but your mother must have known the circumstances.' must have known the circum- I stances." Alas, he had fallen in love | with yesterday, and refused even ; to flirt with to-day. How different from my elderly! coif or the women 1 have mentioned. The present is too vital, too throbbing: lor them to any thought on last year's birdnests. They ha<-p always kept themselves up to the minute—whether that minute was 1860, or one of the de cades which has since intervened.! Just now they arc as much 1917 as any youngster eligible to the draft, j or the most enthusiastic of the girl I farmers. And unless they mend their) ways next year will see them con-! forming: to the 1918 models and still I taking nobody's dust.. The way to grow old gracefully is; not to grow old at all.

MARRIED FORTY-SEVEN YEARS Marietta. Pa., Nov. 15.—Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Stafford are to-day married forty-seven years. Both are enjoying- good health. Mr. Stafford was for thirty-three years district grand secretary of the Odd Fellows of Pennsyh ania, retiring on account of ill health. He was one of the char ter members of Mt.

"That must be the china, dear." said Helen, jumping up and rushing' out into the hall. Mary had just ypened the door and admitted two men who carried a bar rel between them. Warren followed Helen out and paid for the express age. His entire manner told very plainly that he thought this some new unnecessary extravagance ot Helen's. Helen, who had been ab sorbed with the arrival of the bar rel, hud not noticed Warren's face until she and Mary had turned to the unpacking, then she caught his ex pression and instantly wondered what was wrong. "What's the matter, dear?" "Well what stuff is that you have bought?" "Why, it's the stuff you told me to buy. Yoji said yourself only a week ago that you were perfectly willing for me to do it." Helen had lifted out several pieces from the'excelsior and Mary was un wrapping each piece. "How mucli does it come to?" War ren grouled, suddenly recalling that Helen had asked him about replac ing some of their cheaper ware, and he had consented. The trouble was that Helen did this frequently and then when the bill came in the total was always more than either of them had expected. "Why, don't you know, dear?" Hel- j en returned blankly.

Didn't you ask them how much the things were?'" "Why no, I simply selected the pieces we needed and had them sent up. You remember when we bought them, they were so terribly cheap. I didn't think it was necessary to ask the price of each piece." "Well, that certainly is the limit," Warren exploded. "To go down and purchase a barrel of china and not to ask how much it cost." Helen felt that Warren was right, and it certainly sounded far worse now than it had seemed to her when she had selected it. Now it seemed almost criminally careless, but as she said the china was inexpensive and through a friend they bought it wholesale, and now that it was nec essary to have some new pieces Helen had simply not thought of asking what the price of each was nor even what tlie total was. "Did they send the bill with it?" "This must be it," said Helen, lift ing a folded piece of paper from the top and handing it over to ,Waricn Without speaking. She was really anxious for him to scan the bill and then to admit that he had been un hecessarlly small about the Matter— so certain was she that the entire amount was too small to worry about. Warren opened it quickly and his face grew blacker than ever. "What it is. dear?" "What is it? Just how much did ycu expect this china to cost?" "Why not more than ten dollars for the lot." "This is a bill for twenty-nine." "But Warren, that's impossible. We never paid that much in the be ginning." "Well, that's what you've paid for these."

I know I should have, but I took for granted the fact it was just our cheap china and that it would be enough to both er us." "Did you need all this stuff that ycu'vo laid in?" YWe needed it unless we wanted to use some of our really good dishes. I don't like to use the French china every day." "Seems to mo we might better have done that than to have incurred a bill like this. For my part I don't intend to pay It. You can pack up what we don't absolutely need and they can go back." Helen was about to protest at this, and then realizing that Warren had a right to be provoked at her abso lute lack of business application, meekly said nothing. "You women have a good way of 1 appearing to keep down expenses," ' he said scathingly; "you buy thirty! dollars worth of cheap china so thai] you can save your good stuff and j then only haul out your good things j when compiny conies. That always did seem ridiculous to me." "Don't you think. Warren, that you j ought to allow ine something to say j about things of that kind?"

Before taking the treatment lie was a confirmed drunkard. I began using Tescum on five of our very worst eases and the most remarkable results followed. Not one of the five lias shown any signs of alcoholism for over R month and declare upon their word of honor they have not taken a single drink of liquor since the third day after beginning the treatment. Their physical condition has improved wonderfully. X am fa miliar with the formula of Tescum Powders and I unhesitatingly recom mend it as a hai-mless, reliable home remedy containing no habit-forming drugs and from personal experience in my practice know It succeeds where other remedies fail. I feel it my duty when something so valuable as Tescum is offered to the public to put my stamp of approval on it. May it continue its successful fight against the great destroyer of homes, the drink habit." NOTE —Tescum is odorless, color less and tasteless and can be given secretly in tea. coffee or any food. The manufacturers guarantee it to stop the liquor habit in any form or refund the money. It is sold under a steel bound money-back guarantee In this city by all druggists including J. Nel son Clark.—Advertisement. New York: Wives and mothe.'S throughout the land will be glad to know that Tescum Powders, the new remedy tor the liquor habit, has stood the test of a thorough investigation by Doctor Conner, a Massachusetts physician. Dr. Conner, who is a graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Baltimore with ex tensive hospital experience at the Hopkins Hospital and nearly twenty years of practice, is now in charge of the "White Star." a home for young men. In this home a part of the plan is to give the young- men good social surroundings And entertainment. Sonu of the. hoys are addicted to drink. His experience is most interesting and convincing. Here is his' report: "Some weeks ago ip discussing with a busi ness man one of the evils we have to combat, namely the drink habit, he mentioned Tescum and the wonderful cures that had been effected through its use. When I returned to the home after my interview I found upon mak ing inquiry that one of our boys knew all about 'Tescum,' having used it while in New York and through its use rid himself of the liquor habit. He tells me that since UHing the em edy six months ago he has not taken have no executive power. He said final decision in regard to matters of strategy and the distribution and movement of armies would rest with the several governments of the allies. The new council, Mr. George said, would be charged with the duty of surveying continuously the field of operations as a whole in the light of information derived from all tho governments and staffs and also of co-ordinating plans and making plans of its own, if necessary, for the better conduct of the war. 7
