If a man takes you to expensive dinners and talks dollars and diamonds to you, he is not serious. If to one cheap lunch he adds a discussion on economy, then get your third finger ready. If married life seems flat and all interest in things has evaporated, add a few congenial friends, some healthful pastimes and, if necessary, change the furniture. Stir the whole into a fresh atmosphere of determination and see what happens ! 3 If you are looking old, unattractive and generally at your worst, get a shampoo, a facial massage, bushels of fresh air and smile at something
funny. . You will have a better chance to face the world and its music.

While bills calling for the repeal of the newspaper publicity law are

And your education how did you
get it.
Mostly from charity. The schools in
which you learned were maintained
by funds provided by the benevolent
or supplied by taxpayers; the hos
pitals in which you ot your skill were built and maintained by the same means. The doctors who
taught you what you know taught
you not so much for fees as out of a
sense of duty; because they felt they owed it to humanity to hand down surgical skill Into fit hands for the public service. You are a charity scholar; most of us are, but you especially, and you especially are dedicated to the promotion of health and
the relief of suffering. You are not
an Independent Individual speculat
ing in surgery for dollars. You are part of the apparatus of the twen
tieth century, in debt to your time,
as all men are, and bound by its obli
gations.
Your suggestion that every patient
for whom you do a difficult capital
operation owes you $50,000 is enough to drive every self-respecting
person from your doors. Who would
wish to become the debtor of the
author of an assumption so arrogant
and so absurd? Harper's Weekly

CLEVER ADVERTISING.
The other day a clever merchant
in one of the cities of the Calumet
region conceived the idea of having Santa Claus make a triumphant entry into town.
He picked up an old tramp, dress
ed him in the costume of the old Christmas saint, advertised that he would arrive on a certain train and that souvenirs would be given away.
Hundreds of children and many
grown ups were at the station to
meet him. The glare of red Are fill-
i
ed the streets. The children were i
given whistles with which they add--ed to the acclaim with which Santa
was received. I
For once in his life the man with-'
in the disguise was a hero. He learned what it meant to stand In an automobile and bow to the admiring
throng. He epitomized the , Christmas spirit and for once became the
center of interest.
It was a peculiar situation. It
was the tribute that juveniles will
ingly pay to the personified holiday spirit. And these children did not
stop to wonder about the character or
reputation of the man who smiled and threw kisses to them.

Whether they are but a cursory skimming of the facts or the product of deep and analytical study remains to be seen. In any event the gigantic American steel corporation and its inflated capitalization, with Its rela
tion to unrest, wages, the high cost
of living and the future of similar combinations presents a study that affects all of us. As yet no thorough
probe has been made Into this modern marvel and the mind that will
weigh and analyze the facts must be
a keen one.
