Away back In our unregenerate
' college days, when Dob Howard waa

neckties. Ordinarily, Don managed
to get along with us In serene

cuned him of bigamy, or bootlegging,
or some other cardinal sin. One
word about nectles was sufficient to
bring on a tirade that lasted until
we fled down the hall, or ducked him
under the shower, or took some other
extreme measures to Insure peace
and quiet and tbe pursuit of bap-piness.

When we say reformer, from now
on, we are speaking of that whole
class of people who cannot sleep o'
nights because of tbe blinding tears
that run down their backs when they
think of tbe short comings of some
one else. There are people (we
speak confidentially) who cannot see
girl dancing without a' mental
movie of that girl going down, down,
down to perdition or deeper than
that. They see a boy puffing a vile
pipe and Into their mind's eye
comes a picture of a man dying pre
maturely of cancer, fatty degenera
tion of the heart (or does P. D. start
in the liver?), tuberculosis, or any
thing else that la unpleasant and dis
agreeable. Whatever the young or
old take pleasure In Is harmful In
he same degree as the victim en
oya it.
As ws said, we're sorry for them,
and In our simple way we pity them.
For, of all persons, the self-appoint
ed reformer suffers disappointment
most often. The girl who dances
occasionally marries a preacher. The
boy who plays pool doesn't end his
days In the penitentiary, sentenced
there . for stealing horses, but now
and then becomes president of a
bank, and a holder of chattel mort
gages. The spendthrift refuses to be
burled in a pauper's grave. Instead,
he turns down a Job as delivery boy
at 6 a week and finally landa one
that pays him money enough to sup
port two automobiles and a wife
or two wives and an automobile, de
pending on which way his taste
turns.
rade as they see fit. And all of them
object to folka who want them to
change ways that satisfy them.
There's a little streak of obstlnancy
in the most placid dispositions that
makes tbe pathway of the reformer
mean and difficult.
The reformers have received sev
eral severe Jolts since the war.
Think of all the campaigns that used
to be conducted against the cigarette.
Yet during the war thjy gave them
to "the boys" In packages and In
churches. Ground was lost then that
will never be regained. Women who
felt that they would sooner see their
sons burled man smoatng cigareues
bought and distributed barrels of
them to the sons of other women
Surely, If a few cigarettes made the
last hours of some doughboy a little
more pleasant, who would refuse
what comfort he could get from
them?
L.
And now some district Judge
back east, too has made the mo
mentous decision that the mere pres
ence of cigarettes in a woman's bu
reau doesn't furnish positive proof
that she Is wanton and Immoral. He
comes right out and says that he
hasn't any objections to a woman
smoking if she wants to and has the
price to buy the filthy weed. .We
are broad-minded, too. We will go
father than the Judge. We are will
ing that women should smoke cigars
and pipes and chew tobacco, If it
will mal(e them any happier. If there
Is any woman who has been hold
ing back because she feared our dls
approval, let her take notice. The
bars are down. No district Judge
can claim that he lr more liberal
than we are.
BROUGHT TO THE TEST
"Do you think there's a chance of
prohibition's being repealed, after
allT"
"I hope not," answered Uncle Bill
Bottletop; "anyhow, not soon."
' I thought you didn t quite ap
prove of prohibition."
"I don t, quite. But Tor years
folks have been talking a lot o' chaps
that 'ud be such wonders if they did
n't drink, an' I want to see 'em get
a little more time to make good."

It's easy to be thankful when we
are prosperous.
A MERCILESS JUDGE
One Who Shows No Favor
A merciless Judge is Father Time.
Before him the weak and the want
ing go to the wall. Only the truth
can stand. For years the following
statement from an Alliance resident
has withstood this sternest of all
tests.
Mrs. Celia Weaver, 122 Yellow
stone avenue, Alliance, says: "I was
troubled with kidney complaint for
some time and learning that Doan's
Kidney Pills were a good kidney
remedy, I began taking them, pro
curing them at Holsten's Drug Store.
I can say In all earnestness that they
cannot be excelled for curing back
ache and kidney ailments. It took
only a short use of Doan's to rid me
of severe pains in the small of my
back, enabling me to stoop and
straighten my back without a pain
ful effort."
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER Mrs.
Weaver said: "I seldom have need
of Doan's Kidney Pills now. I am
never troubled the way I was before
using them. I take a few now and
then and they always drive off any
return symptoms and keep me in
good health."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills the same
that Mrs. Weaver had. Foster-MU-burn

Saves Crop by Having Tractor
Ready for Spring Work
E. tV. Shearer of Colo, Iowa, says that by having a Hart-Parr 30 Tractor on hand early
last Spring he was able to get in his oats before the long rainy spell came, which gave him
a bigger and better crop than his neighbors.
This is one reason why you should order your Hart-Parr 30 now. They are in such demand
that many farmers who are putting off buying 'till Spring were disappointed when they,
needed it most.
There's another reason for placing your order now. You'll get better work out of your
tractor when you know every feature about it. The odd jobs of "Winter for yourself and
neighbor will make you familiar with
your tractor so that when important
Spring work comes you can jump in
and hurry it through.
Study the report of the big Ohio field
test. Note that the Hart-Parr 30 de
veloped 26V& drawbar horsepower;
more than any other tractor in the test.
Remember also that Hart-Parr 30 de
veloped 37 Va belt horsepower at the
big Ohio test of January, more than
any other three-plow tractor in the
test.
