A hlnh school boy has mide a request for a series of articles on good manners. The boy may acquire good manners If he will Indulge every day In a little self analysis and find that the fundamen tal principle of good manners Is kindness of heart. Next comes consideration of others. Never to Indulge In any habit or conduct or speech which can annoy, wound or displease without good cause those with whom we as sociatethat Is the platform on which we can easily build a structure of good manners. While It Is an excellent rule to pans lightly over the faults of others and to dwell upon their worthy qualities and virtues. It rerves a good purpose to keep a little mental notebook of the things which annoy us In others, but to keep these notes only as reminders of thi things we do not wish ourselves to do or say. A man who was eager for an education and who had acquired the principle of correct grammatical expression was thrown, much with illiterate people in his dally associations. After some years he became notable for his elegance of language, and his fine powers of con versation. He was asked how he man aged to avoid acquiring the slip-shod expressions and grammatical mistakes of his companions. The man answered, "Whenever one of my comrades or acquaintances uses an expression which I know to be correct I mentally say the phrase as It should be said. For Instance, when I hear a man ssy. 'I done It,' or 'I seen a feller do that,' 'I hain't got It,' or similar phrases, I repeat mentally, 'I did it,' .'I saw a man do that,' 'I haven't got it etc. I never permit one of those expressions to pass by without mental correction. In that way my mental notebook Is filled with the rleht expressions and the wrong ones do not come to me when I wish te speak." This is an excellent rule for acquiring of good language. The same rule can be applied to manners. Whoever wounds us by rudeness, vulgarity, loud talking in public places, or other disagreeable habits, should be observed and remem bered only as a guard to better manners for ourselves In these matters. Any bright. Intelligent youth, ambitious to ac quire a pleasing deportment needs only to watch and listen to the wellbred peo ple of his acquaintance te obtain a foun dation for good manners, and a knowl edge of the right things to ds. Then by reading out of his mental notebook the things wnleh he has found displeasing to himself In others, he can soon acquire a long list of the things not to do. A well modulated voice in men or women and a clear-cut, distinct enuncia tion In speech arc Important facts In an agreeable personality. These can be acquired by a little practice. Courtesy to older people and to women Is of great importance. The absence of haste or no'si In the partaking of food and the avoidance of lounging attitudes at the table are also Important. In conversa tion with our fellow beings there are two well known quotations which may be serviceable. One is: Three things to observe with care; Of whom you speak, to whom you soeak. And how and when and where The other Is before repeating any un pleasant news or disagreeable gnsslp about any one. to ask one's self: "Is It true. Is it kind, is it neceanary?" Sometimes on important statement may be true, but It Is neither kind nor neces sary to repeat. Sometimes It Is true and not kind, and yet necessary to repeat. It is neeescary to tell a woman with a baby in her arms if she is about to call at a hjuse where there Is an Infectious disease, that such a condition exists within. Hut It la only where there Is necessity to warn or where there Is a possibility of helping and changing the existing conditions that one Is really jus tified In repeating and commenting upon the disagreeable and painful things of life. People who possess the refinement of good manners always leave a pleasant and stimulating Impression upon those with whom they converse. Even In the brief Interview In which only the ordi nary events or happenings of health and weather art touched upon, tho really gond-mannered Individual whose man ners spring from a good heart wlil find an opportunity to leave an agreeable and brightening effect. Pig deep In your heart first, young man, then call your brain, your memory, yoirr powers of observation to bear up-in life, and you will need no book of eti quette to direct you, although It may not harm you to read one.

Most of the friction that exists la the world proceeds from being d ssstisfted with what belongs to us and then going about .to secura satisfaction by trying to gat hold of what belongs to somebody else. To become content to cultivate one's own field or diocese, instead of grasping territory that lies outside Is a lesson that it is going to become mora and more necessary to learn, according as population multiplies and pressure of man upon man and front ier upon frontier be comes mors and mors closs and In' tense. It is impossible to conceive what the world will become la that respect whsa war shall have be come eliminated by the spread of a more fraternal spirit. and whea mortality hall have beeo diminished by the, larger development of sanitary sc'.encs. To be satisfied with what possess and to confine our efforts to raising It to the highest state of productiveness is the only policy that can show Itself safe te be pursued, whether It be our Individ aal Well-being that we consult or the W.U-belag of the general public. Kefareoco to landed property will illus trate In a simple way th bearing of the principle for whtt-h I am contending. The time was, and not very long ago, when land In our country was so abund ant and extended Itself toward the west In such unlimited area, that the farmer needed only to akun oft the surface wealth of th soil, and then move far ther on to soil that was si ill virgin, and here the process of exhaustion had not even been besun. That policy Is now be coming increasingly impossible. Ws have not yet reached the limit of our landed possessions, but are certainly approaching it. and with tola result, that tbe agriculturist Is finding himself in creasingly constrained to get more out of the land which he already owns rather than to increase his holdings by the acquisition of additional acres. That is what Is understood by Intensive farm ing, a method of so treating the sol) as to make It yield more than It yields of Its own accord. I have no present Interest! however. In the solution of the agricultural problem except as It Illustrates the principle that th true policy of life, whether for th Individual or otherwise, lies In culti vating our blessings and In getting all possible out of our present holdings, whatever may be their nature, rather than expending our efforts in th attempt to add to them. H was a vary good moralist, as well as a sound political economist, who said "I have learned. In whatsoever state I am, therein to b content." that Is to say, to b self-sufficient, not obliged to go outsld of what I am and have. In order to complete my satisfaction. We ar all of us Indifferent to our present mercies, and loss th advantage and comfort proper to accrue to us from them, by th exclusive endeavor to add to them Instead of taking time to realise what Is already contained In them. The policy I am Insisting upon is th only one that can seoure peae between In dividuals, states and nations. As we hav not the power to create anything new, getting more tor ourselves usually means getting it away from somebody else; and that means quarrel; It means j war, social war or international. That accounts for the present condition in Kurope, and for similar conditions as they have existed down the whole line of history. i'eace cannot be legislated. It will be mad possible only by a change of dis position. Individuals will quarrel and natk ns will go to war till they learn to satisfy themselves with what they hav Instead of trying to satisfy them selves with what does not belong to them. One would like to be allv a hundred years from now In order to read a Just history of the events that ar now transpiring. We are too near c-ur.own day to b In a situation to assess a fair value upoa people and their motives and purposes. Our Judgments may not be altogether Incorrect, but It la one of th human Impossibilities to see things and to rate people exactly as they are so long as we survey thent through aa atmosphere of our own personal con cern. Moses, Julius Caesar, Alfred the Oreat, and a few of somewhat later date, lived at a sufficient distance from today to give us opportunity to put upon them a fair estimate. Their relatives are all dead and the ! '"i"t which engage us today are so different from those whl ooci.pkd thent I tea as to alford us an unembarrassed opportunity to give these ancient worthies a fair rating. That, however, cannot yet be said re garding the personages that are playing a role In this great contemporary trag edy. But the time will come when that can be done and when it will be done. And It will be great reading. Epitaphs and ohiu.ary records will be traced with an historic pen that will draw deeper and more enduring lines than are ever carved Into marble or bronse, and we should Ilk to be there to read It when It Is done, and when the heat and th passion of the present are all by, and. when from the voluminous records, that are now from day to day in course of preparation, there has been distilled th final verdict that will remain unrepealed to th end of time. The last scene of the tragedy that is now being enacted will sooner or later be played and the curtain rung down. At that time,, to all present appearance, our wn country will be standing forth with strength unabated and with msntaJ. moral and financial resources unex hausted. While the nations that are now In con flict will all of them be staggering under th burdens which they hav heaped, upon themselves aad entangled la th telle with which thy have become en snarled, the United State will be ever more than conscious of Us strength and vitality and of th enlarged opportunity given It to be a leader among tha peo ples of tha earth ami a champion of the principles 'and Institutions of which w are th national exponent. What a splendid challenge addressee Itself to all such of our young men aa will rise to the level of the opportunity. m ssw a m bks' m sai aw i TEATURE (cm cempitTE sown toi m ri i, , w i n ; 402 405 Nemo Self-Reducing Corsets with Nemo Relief Bands were introduced in 1906. They have been popular from the beginning, and are now in greater demand than ever. For some types of stout figure, they are the most satisfactory corsets ever made. The Improved Relief cBands are now composed largely of semi-elastic Lastikops Webbing. They simply gather up a large "spready" abdomen; support, reshape and reduce it with delightful comfort. The elasticity of the Relief Bands and the gentle friction of the Self-Reducing Straps produce a passive massage that gradually softens the excess fat, which is absorbed and removed, perrnanendy reducing both the size and weight. Three distinct models, for three distinct types of the full figure: No. 402 For a short stout figure, small or flat bust, excess flesh on abdomen rather than on hips No. 403 For a figure of medium bust, large hips and abdomen No. 405 For a tall figure with full bust, large hips and abdomen r than on hips . . . nA height, with ul!$300 CAUTION: The supporting, reducing and auto-massage service of these corsets is due to the Nemo patented construction the free play of the Bands and Straps against the body. Imitations are made with straps and bands of similar appearance, sewtd on to the corset, and therefore IMMOVABLE. These, of course, have no supporting, reducing or auto-massage value, and only add to the weight and bulk of the corset, Look foe the trade-mark NEAfO. v That is your protection against useless imitation.
