CONCERNING .COMMON .SENSE.
The 'man who Imows when not to
talk , possesses judgment or a high
order. People everywhere nro dis. ' ;
la'lng good judgment by eating i
P1Ilsbury's Vltos ror brealtfnst. It's
a mighty good thing to bo outside of ; l
try It. tIt tI t
It Is well enough to die happy , but' ' 1
It Is far better to live that way. 1

When Your Grocer Says
he does not have Delance Starch , you . .
may be sure he Is afraid to 1 < 'Oep It
until his steel , of 12 oz. paclmges are
sold. Defiance Starch Is not only better -
ter than any other Cold 'Vater Starch.
but cnntalnR 16 oz , to the paclmgc and
sells for I ; mc money as 12 oz. brands.
A Good Heart.
A good heart malees a good face-
perhaps not beautiful or classic , but ,
fine , slncore and noble. The tllce will
shine wllh od behind' It. There are
some faces thllt are quiet even today
that at tln-ies seem to have a glow '
upon them. There are faces that are
quIet and uninteresting In repose that
light up am zlngly with the animation
of talking. There are some who can
never get a good photogrnph , becnuso
the camera cannot catch the subtle
sparltle of the e'e , In which the whole
Individuality lies. There are some
whom you would not at first call handsome -
some , whose faces grow 011 ) 'OU WiUl
the constant acqualnt.\nco untll they
become benutiCul to ) 'ou. For you see
the soul shining ; yo.u . see the splendor
of a noble character glorlt'lng every
Ceature. A true beauty in the soul
will como out In the sweetness , the
brightness , the quiet glory of the " -
face.

THE LITTLE WIDOW.
