Every man has a right to his own opinion until he gets married or tells bis wife about it. Nearly every mild argument before marriage develops into a red hot dispute after marriage. It isn't woman's rights that some women are constantly clamoring for; it's all the rights. Adrian Herman arrived today from St. Henry, Ohio, for a visit with his I grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Mey-, ers. Pony Mopps wuz arrested flhis. wiornin’ fer shoppin' too early.

The only time all of a man’s good oualitles are put on exhibition is when he dies or marries a prominent woman. A woman can look as dainty as a lingerie advertisement. But no man ever looked as handsome as a picture in a union suit advertisement. , The coffee that mother used to make wasn’t really any better than the percolated stimulant of todaybut your appejite was more appreciative. Georgia Wood Pangborn, writing a story in tlie December Woman's Home Companion, says of one of her characters: "He’s a man, and can’t cry, so lie lias to say Damm.” When a girl is six, she weeps if the seams of her Ixjpt doll loosen up and let out sawdust. When she is twentysix, if her beau doesn't loosen up and spend some, she’s equally peeved. Mrs. Otto Haubold and two eldest children left today noon for Prescott, Arizona. The babe which was born here, will remain with its grandparents. Dr. and Mrs. P. B. Thomas, until next spring, when Mrs. Thomas and son, Brice, will take it to Prescott. When a maji has worked 37 minutes trying to get his stalled automobile engine going again, it pleases him beyond words to have his better half ask him from the back seat, "Do you think you could fix-it if you knew what was the matter with it, dear?" An automobile driven by Dr. A. C. Runyan of South Haven, Mich, president of the Indiana Fuel and Light company, was struck by a Grand Rapids passenger train near Kendallville and was demolished. Crawling out from the wreckage, Runyan apologized to the engineer for delaying traffic. Runyan was bruised but suffered no broken bones. Virgil Fair and Dale Hart, both tin ler sixteen years of age, the Lagrange youths who set fire to a dog belonging to Leroy Wade, will be liven a hearing in the juvenile court before Judge Drake, of Lagrange county. Ralph Foster, aged eighteen years, appeared in the justice court and was fined $5 and costs, amounting to sls. The boys poured turpentine on the dog and set it on fire. The dog died from the injuries. On Christmas Eve little Dorothy, nossessed of the whooping cough, was doing some fancy whooping for company that had come. “Dorothy, dear,” the mother said, "you must stop coughing or Santa Claus won’t come. If hq hears you coughing, he’ll he ifraid to come in.” “I should worry,” Dorothy replied, showing full famil'arity with modern expression. “He’s got tuberculosis himself.” "Tuberculosis! Who told you Santa Claus had tuberculosis?” “Oh, everybody knows that. Don’t you buy tuberculosis stamps for him every Christmas?” Arthur McNally, seven year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank McNally, of Huntington, lost the first joints of the ' thumb and index finger of his left hand and the thumb of his right hand was deeply scarred when a 22-long rifle cartridge he had found exploded .while he was investigating it with a lighted match. He found the shell in a coal bin. Too young to understand the dangerous nature of his find the boy lighted a match and held it under the cartridge. The powder became heated, exploded, and the injur- ' ies resulted. Charles Pennington, the butcher, was the stake-holder at the recent election for two well known men who ! bet upon the results of the election in 1 Ohio, one wagering that the state woud go wet by 50,000 and the other 1 that it would not. There were two ■ liquor amendments voted on in that 1 state, one for “home rule,” and the 1 other for state-wide prohibition. The 1 former carried by 8,000 and the lat- 1 ter by 80,000. Charlie didn’t know 1 how to settle the bet so they put it up 1 to us. We didn’t know either, so we 1 wrote to the sporting editor of the * Cincinnati Enquirer, authority on ' such subjects, and he promptly decid- 1 ed that the man who bet that the * state would give a “wet” majority of 1 50,000 had won, and so the bet was I today decided. Following is an extract from a sug- ( gestive article in the current issue of ( Farm and Fireside, on preventing and ( fighting fires: “Fires in our homes ( are so frequent that the insurance ( companies tell us that we have about one chance in sixty of being burnt out | some time in the course of a life time. ( But in tlie same breath they tell us ( that more than half the fires could lie , prevented if people understood the commonest causes of them and knew . just what to do when a fire starts. ( Smokers are responsible for thousands of fires, and rats and mice ( cause many others by nibbling at sul- { phur-tipped matches. Fires wlijch start in closets are often caused by matches left in clothes or by oily cloths which have been stored away. Many of tlie floor-polishing mixture, contain highly explosive oils, and spontaneous combustion may start 1 from a nest of these cleaning cloths j if placed in a closet near ths chim- t ney.” I

APPLES AS FOOD Their Value is Not Realized Says Dr. Wiley, Eminent Health Man. EAT WHOLE WHEAT Also Whole Corn He Says, and Drink Plenty of Milk —Keep Well. Dr. Wiley, the eminent health anr food faddist, is giving out this advice- “ While corn mush makes a most nourishing food, and we eat it at our house we have returned to first principles and grind it there. Then there is whob wheat, always desirable. A pound of wheat has twice as much nourishment as a pound of meat. “Our whole corn costs us about a cent and a quarter a pound. Then we have pure milk from our own tuberculin tested herd cattle. “Milk, fruit and vegetables are our principal food. It is a cheap way to live and at the same time and more important still, it is most nourishing. We have a little meat at dinner. A five-pound roast lasts us about three days. “My advice to the public at this time when prices are high is this: “Eat whole wheat. "Eat whqle corn. “Eat apples, lots of them. “Drink milk. "There is need of little else. The public does not realize the value of apples as a food. Just at this time they are especially cheap. They serve not only as a food, but as a medicine as well. There has been a big apple crop this year and the orchardists are sending practically none to European markets on account of the prevailing war conditions there. “An apple a day keeps the doctors away. “Two apples a day keep the doctor and nurse away. “Three apples a day keep the doctor, the nurse and the piftent medicine away. “I would especially warn the public against package goods. They cost from 5 to 500 times as much as the articles would ordinarily cost in bulk. The purchaser pays for the package, the picture on the box and for many other incidentals which all figure ii. the cost. They are convenient but expensive. Buy the stuff in bulk. That is the cheapest and best way. “I can live very well on a pound and a quarter, or a pound and a half of wheat, and a quart of milk. It costs only.about twelve cents a day.” —' o PUBLIC SALE.
