(Copyright, 1912. by tlio Stnr Company. Great Britain Bights Beserved.) You may talk of reformations, of tho Economic Plan, That shall stem tho Social Kvll In Its Course; But the Ancient Sin of nations, must be got at In the Man, "If you' want to cleanse a river, seek the source. Ever since his first beginning, Man has had his way, In lust. Ho has nover learned tho law of Self-Control; And the World condones his sinning, and the Doctors say ho must, And the Churches shut their eyes, and take his toll. And the lauded "Lovely Mothers," send thoir son out Into life With no knowledge-welded armour for the fight; "He will make his way like others, through the Oat-flold, to the Wife; Ho will somehow bo led onward, to the light." Yes, his leaders, they shall find him. On the highways at each turn, (Since you did not chooso to counsel or to warn), They shall tempt him, then shall bind him; they shall blight, and they shall burn, Down to offspring and descendants yet unborn. 11 can never end through preaching; It can novur end through law8; This social sore, no punishment can heal. It must bo tho mother's teaching of the purposo and the cause, And God's glory, lying under sex appeal. She must feel no fear to name it to the children it has brought; She must speak of it as sacred and sublime; She must beautify, not abuse It, by her speech and by her thoughts, Till they listen, and respect it, for all time. From the heart they rested under ere they saw the light of day, Must tho daughters and tho sons be taught this truth; Till they think of It with wonder, as a holy thing alway; While love's wisdom guides them Bafely through their youth. Oh, tho world has mado its devil, and the Mothers let It grow; And the Man has dragged their thoughts down to tho earth. There will be no Social Evil, when each waking mind shall know All tho grandeur and the beauty hid in birth. When each Mother sets the fashion to win confidence and trust, And to teach the mighty lesson, Self-Control, Wo can lift the great Sox passion from the darkness and the dust And enshrine it on the altar of tho soul.

Do not marry if you ars weak and despondent. Do not marry If you snf?r from indigestion, constipa tion, sleeplrssne or nny liver trouble. More than half of the divorces and two thirds of tbe failures in life can be traced to indigeatlon and constipation, for they are the parents of nervousness, sleeplessness and general debility. I believe my Taw Paw Pills are do ing more to prevent domestic troubles and financial failures, as well as bodtly suffering, than any other medicine. They might be called the Peacemakers. 'Iliey not onlr enable one to eat all they want, but they coax the liver inlo activity and carry off all the refuse matter through the bowels pleasantly and naturally. My Paw Paw Pills are wholly wnhke other laxatives or stomach remedies; they build up instead of tearlog down. Melancholy and Irritability rannot dwell in the same body with Taw Paw Pills.

There were diamonds In my tum bled golden curls, and my cheeks were scarlet, as were my scornful Hps. I had eyes of midnight that wer'e- like flashing stars when I was angry, and melted to toft moons when I was pleased. No one would ever have suspected any of thepe" things who looked at me. 1 was I to the ordinary eye Just a red-headed, I hatchet-faced' little girl in short petticoats' and my Spanish barb was Just a hitching ' rack In the hitching stalls back of the old church but, pshaw, such people as i that didn't see. They didn't really see thnt she who rode beside mo on tho next hitching rack wns not the minister's daughter, but a lady of high degree the Lady Pearl of Pearl Island, where her estates lay. Her steed was of Arab lineage a marc, brown as a chestnut burr and she who rode her was clad In blue saali looped and beaded all over with priceless pearls. The third rack In tho hitching stalls back of the old church was an Arab charger, white as the driven snow, with eyes of flashing fire, and a mane like , crinkled silver. The rider of this glorious i-tceil was yelept Isabel, proud and stately and noble to an umazlng degree, and she wore a . dress of shining white satin looped and hung with 'deep hearted rubles, and her long hair was pinned to the bot torn of the train, each strand with a cross of burning rubles. All this we knew, we three who ran to the old church every day when school was out; to ail'others we were Just three queer little girls, with nothing In par ticular In the way of looks and no adorn ment that to us was so real. Madge, Pearl and Vsabel. we rode far. far away in our bravo satin sparkling with gems; far away Into that land of dreamy glory that lies always Just out side the door lh tho lives of happy chil dren. I saw Ysabel, the haughty, the other day; she was Just coming from school, where she had been to see why her youngest wasn't doing so well as lie might in spelling. Pearl, the princess, has just returned from Kurope. She teaches Greek in a big eastern college. I wonder If the young ladlej ever realize that she is the j'rincess Pearl. Sharp anxieties have leached her heart In the passing year anxieties she never dreamed of when she donned her dress of satin leafed with pearls and rode her Arab mare. Deep sorrow has come to Vsabel I saw that written m lior eyes the other day, thougji she smiled and held her head bravely. And Madge, she of the golden curls wreathed In diamonds; she of tbe eyes of midnight, with the crimson cheek Hnd lily brow. Poor Madge. I'm afraid those eye have been wet with some scalding tears since she rode Spitfire. But I'm glad we rode the Arab steed and the Spanish barb; I'm glad we wore tho gem-crusted robes of satin; I'm glad our glorious eyes flashed and our proud lips curled. i m giaa. too, that the little boy wor cn"PI to bed last night and slept, with his beloved "rope" close In his hot little hand. 1 know now that he who looks like a round-faced type to me Is really "Daredevil Dick, the Terror of the Plains." who would not hesitate to en- pr ( nrrt slnvU ssmV. in. . h..r nMn .V. .. ... ?

Why not? As Mr. Shaw saysr "You never can tell." At the present momont women are en gaged In almost every occupation which was onco supposed to be entirely Klvon over to men. There are women soldiers . n tho Bulgaltan an,i Servian armies who have seen active service during the pres ent war, notably Sophia Yovanowltch.

My fellow worker In the vineyard, Opio Bead, has advertised Arkansas h y the right oblique In his Amustnfc stories. O tlo Ople! Opio has a wonder ful Imagination. Also has that luminous literary light who wrote America's m a t e r p. I e c e , "Through Arkansas on a Mule." Thee two merry rogues In buckram have put tho state In a bad light before a good many people who look to vaudeville for their far.tr. The truth Is, Arkansas has more points to recommend it than any other single state In the unolon. In potential wealth Arkansas Is our all around rich state. It produces everything that Is produced anywhere In America. It has climate and, Incidentally, it has weather. I It has lovely scenery-mountains, prairies, t noble rivers, sparkling streams, vast forests and broad acres, which, when tickled with a plough, laugh a .harvest, Pius. The people who live In Arafcnasas are a happy, generous, prosperous. Intelli gent class. They average well. Ot course, there are all kind of folks In Atknunas, Just as there arc In Boston and New York City. But tho Idea of 'Arkansanlans" wearing flowing lilacs. through which the Summer zephyrs blow. that they chew Inflnlto fobacco and can expectorate with nccuravy at long dis tance; that the women nil wear linsey woolsey, chew snuff, and that the chil dren are addicted to hookworm, Is a fal lacy generated In oe peanut mind ot the man who has never been there. Arkansas is rich In mineral wealth. Gold, silver, zinc, tin, Iron; aluminum. are found here In workable quantities. And strangest of all, Arkansas has a diamond mlno that threatens to put Kim- barley, South Africa, to the bad. And as for Hot Springs, they have no duplicate on tho American Continent. The waters contain valuable medicinal qualities riot to bo found anywhere else. And so, then, a-baa la hookworm. tUsd, a-boa la Ople nnd his partner In literary crime, the budding Shakespeare who inulcteered through Arkansas on his long oared Pegasus! Iet the silence swallow them both. De Soto and his army were the first white men to visit Hot Springs. In tlot pprlngs Creek there ar.e remains of a dam, evidently built by white mem and It Is believed that this was the work of De Soto. It was the first attempt to put the Hot Springs on a sanitary ami hygienic bhsls. There Is a legend that Hot Sprjngs was neutral ground for all Indian tribes. Here even the enemies met. and were friends, for tho time being at least. No war was made upon the sick and the unfortunate And the precedents still prevail, thanks to the government of the United States. Thomas Jefferson knew tho great secret of mutuality nnd reciprocity. It's a little queer that we can't write the history ot the United States without quoting Thomas Jefferson. Ho Is our one grat democrat, and, happily, we aro .catching up with him. Arkansas was a part of the Louisiana Purchase. Thomas Jefferson knew the value of the Hot Springs, and In 1604 he sent an exploring party to the springs to make a map of the surrounding country and report on the quality of tho waters, arid to find out If there was anyone In possession. So to Thomas Jefferson we must breathe- a prayer of gratitude for Hot Springs, Ark. It was his desire that the springs should not be polluted;, that this, as the Indians, proclalmedl should be neutral ground. It should belong to all of the people all of the time. In 1877 congress, recognizing the growth ot HotkSprlngs, and remembering Jeffer s6n's suggestion, created a commission and took, over a thousand acres of prop .ertv as a government reservation, dtspos- lilg of all claimants by a liberal payment. So Hot Springs Is now under the control of the Department or the Interior, Copyright, 1S12, International News Service. Breathe Hyomei and Cure Catarrh It's Natures Own Remedy.
