Ain’t It a Joke?
The new principal of the High
School of Commerce lets it be known
that in writing recommendations foj
boys going out of that school, he will
include on the information card
whether or not the boy smokes
cigaretts. The High School of Com
merce principal is a late-comer here
and is doubtless ignorant of the fact
that we have on the statute books of
this state a law which prohibits and
penalizes the sale of cigarettes, not to
boys alone, but to one and all. That
law, however, as every one is aware,
is as much of a dead letter as the
wholly disregarded “no-treat” law,
and as a consequence cigarettes are
sold as freely to minors as to adults,
because it is no more of an offense.
Yet the law-makers who pretended to
take themselves seriously have re
peatedly refused to modify our anti
cigarette law, and make it enforceable
against the sale to school-boys, where
alone such sale might be harmful. It
certainly is a huge joke for a high
school principal to put a cirarette
smoking item on a recommendation
card in a state where cirarette selling
without exception is illegal.

But Mr. Mills Says It’s Just as Good
Today as When It Was First Made.
Over two years ago Mr. Mills testi
« ed to complete relief from kidney ills.
^ J He now says that there has not been
the slightest return of the trouble.
O’Neill sufferers will take a deal of
comfort in Mr. Mills statement.
Read what he says :
R. H. Mills, O’Neill, says: “The
hurting in my back was so severe that
I couldn’t walk erect. It was especi
ally severe across my kidneys and
mornings when I arose, the muscles in
my back seemed to be tightened. It
took a couple of hours before I became
limbered up. One box of Doan’s Kid
ney Pills, which I got at Pixley &
Hanley’s Drug Store, cured me.”
^ Over Two Years Later Mr. Mills
said: “The cure Doan’s Kidney Pills
made for me has remained perma
nent.”
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Mills has twice recommended.

By some queer quirk human nature
is so constituted that a great many
persons can see but one side to a
question. The capitalist finds no mid
dle ground between his position and
that of the ardent labor advocate. The
prohibitionist believes the anti-prohi
bitionist is either a drinker himself or
in the pay of the liquor traffic. The
peace propagandist holds out no hope
for the man who wants peace through
preparedness. The suffragist thinks
the anti-suffragist is against all
women. The small town and the rural
district are more inflexible in their
opinions than the large cities This is
caused by the comparative aloofness
of the residents of small towns from
their neighbors. Where people are
thrown together closely, as they are in
the apartments and flats of the larger
cities, they are more tolerant. They
allow their neighbor the right to do
and think as he pleases, and take the
same privileges to themselves. It has
only been in the last few years that a
more tolerant spirit is begining to
show itself. We have been in the
habit of forming opinions about the
conduct of our lives, and then rushing

Make your hens proud of their poultry house.
They can’t say “Thank you,” of course, but they'll
^ lay more eggs summer and winter. And that’s w'hat
you are interested in most of all.
Face the poultry house towards the south and be liberal
with the windows. Then you’ll have a well-ventilated and
sunny building which is the first requirement.
Avoid a damp location—let the poultry house be “high and
dry.” If a sand or dirt floor is used, it should be changed fre
quently. Don’t overlook a single detail.
Make a wise selection of material for your new building. ■

to the legislature to get laws passed
to compel other people to live as we
think they should. This has had the
inevitable result of bringing a react
ion among those we would seek to
regulate, and we are learning, slowly
—all too slowly, that our life is our
own to conduct, but that the lives of
other people are theirs and the right to
live as they see fit is also their in
alienable right. We are learning that
we spend too much time pleading with
the legislature, when we should be at
home teaching our children the
difference between right and wrong.
Nothing can be gained for the
strengthening of character by force of
law. In education alone can we reach
the end we desire. The exercises of
the power of resistance and the con- •
stant overcoming of obstacles go to f
form character and the upbuilding of •
spiritual forces and better citizenship. ]
Self-control is the supreme test of the 1
individual. Neither history nor philo- <
sophy support the belief that character 3
is formed by prohibitive laws. *
