The roots of nine-tenths of the fail- ures in integrity, the departures from honerty, the deceits, the trickery, lie in the false standards of the home. There are few things more tantaliz- ing to a man than to go home with something on his mind he warts to scold about, and find company there, and be obliged to act agreeably. If you would save your children from the effects of the trashy, sensational and ruinous literature that floods our land and poisons the mind of those who read it, you must not only banish it from your homes, but you must fill its place with good, wholesome reading matter. because it is not are precious be- Gold is easily found ; cause they are rare; because they modestly selves. cause they are seen so much on streets, and are found promiscuously mingled in all sorts of public assem- blages. They should study the prin- ciple that makes the ruby precious and the violet dear. All other earthly pleasures are a mockery in comparison to the content- ment of a loving family circle. Other joys may last for a day, excite our in- terest for a time, but they fade away and leave us unsatisfied. While they are present we feel not the emptiness of this excitement—but with their van- ishing our hearts hunger for the bless- ings which home alone can give valuable jewels violets are conceal Home is the one place in all the world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place where we tear off the mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. If is the place where expressions of tenderness gush out without any expression of awkwardnéss. and without any dread of ridicule. Let a man travel where he will, home is the place to which “his heart untrammeled fondly turns.” He is to double all pleasure there. Ie is to divide all pain. A happy home is the single spot of rest which a man has on earth for the cultivation of his noblest sensible ties. The truest, best and sweetest type of the girl of today does not come from the home of wealth, she steps out from the house where is comfort rather than luxury. She belongs to the great mid- dle class—that class which has given us the best wifehood, which has given helpmates tc the foremost men of our time; which teaches its daughters the true meaning of love; which teaches the manners of the drawing room and the practical life of the kitchen. as well as teaches its girls the responsibilities of wifehood and the greatness of moth- erhood. These girls may not ride in their carriages, they do not wear the most expensive gowns, they may even help to enlarge the family income, but these self same girls are the great bul- wark of society, not only of the present, but of the future. The Weekly Ne by William Jennings Bryan. In the current The Com- mouner, Mr. Bryan discusses the weekly newspaper. lle the of the great as a rule they edited counting room, and not from the sanc- tum, and their policy is dictated large- ly by corporation or business interests, and therefore there is neither person- ality nor individuality nor conscience behind their editorial utterance. Among other things in favor of the weekly, The Commoner says: issue of thinks influence are “The editor of a weekly ‘is known; his character stands back of his writ- ings, and is a pledge for the truth- of what he says. The weekly is likely to grow in political influence, for it is the only paper that can be owned and ed- ited by the same man. The editor is close to the people, and not only knows their necessities, but cannot afford to betray his readers into the hands of predatory wealth. His advertisers. too, are not of the kind that attempt to control the policy of the paper.” SAVED HER SON’S LIFE. The happiest mother in the little town of Ava, Mo., is Mrs. S. Ruppee. She writes: “One year ago my son was down with such serious lung trouble that our physician was unable to help him; when, by our druggist’s advice I began giving him Dr. King’s New Discovery, and I soon noticed in provement. I kept this treatment up for a few weeks when he was perfectly well. He has worked steadily since at earpenter work. - Dr. King’s New Dis- eovery saved his life.” - Guaranteed Best cough and cold cure by E. H. Mil- ler, Druggist. 50c. and $1.00.

Strength Heart Strength, or Heart Weakness, means Nerve Strength, or Nerve Weakness—nothing more. Pos- ftively. not one weak heart in a hundred is, in it- self, actually diseased. It is almost always a hidden tiny little nerve that really is all at fault. This obscure nerve—the Cardiac, or Heart Nerve —simply needs, and must Pave, more power, more stability, more controlling, more governing strength.. Without that the Heart must continue 00 0 | to fail, and the stomach and kidneys also have these same controlling nerves. This clearly explains why, as a medicine, Dr. B8hoop's Restorative has in the past done so much for weak and ailing Hearts. Dr. Shoop first soughs the cause of all this painful, palpitating, suffocat- ing heart distress. Dr. Shoop’s Restorative—this popular prescription—is alone directed to these weak and wasting nerve centers. It builds; it strengthens; it offers real, genuine heart help. If you would have strong Hearts, strong di gestion, strengthen these nerves — re-establish them as needed, with r.
