Hit Own Satiaf action
Pepys born, 16S3.
"A very worthy, industrious, and
curious person," says Evelyn.
Family "pull" got him Into the civil
service. He proved a hard worker;
quick at shorthand; regular at church;
musical; lover of art—incidentally,
one of the flrK to collect chapbooks;
member of the Royal society; a mo*t
respectable man who died credited
with all the virtues.
And a century later we learned that
b« had been—whut had he not been?
"Scandalously overserved with drink;"
a little tyrant in the house, who black-
ened his wife's eye and kicked the
cook; a glutton; a rascal with far too
keen an eye for pretty serving maids;
none too particular about bribes.
"Worthy person," indeed!
Who gave him away? He himself!
For nine years he kept a diary. He
never meant anybody to read It. Any-
way, he wrote the bits his wife was
not meant to see in shorthand, cipher,
foreign languages or mnmbo-Jumbo of
his own.
But why did he keep it lying about
for 84 years? Why didn't he de-
stroy it?
What a disaster If he had.—From
the Continental Edition of the Lon-
don Daily Mall.
Less Bickering With
Fifty-Fifty Marriages
Work has replaced bickering in the
home of the economically independent
wife, according to at least one hat-
band who calls his marriage a "fifty-
flfty" proposition.
Writing in the Woman's Home Com-
panion he says that instead of destroy-
ing the home the maintenance of mar-
riage as a union of two economically
independent persons causes the home
to be even more appreciated than It
was under the old Idea of matrimony.
Since both husband nnd wife are away
from their home all day, It Is his con-
tention that both appreciate Its com-
forts more when they return to It to-
gether at night.
"It seems to me that a ttfty-lifty
husband's greatest reward," says this
fifty-fifty husband, "lies In being mar-
ried to a woman who, because she has
found a satisfactory channel of ex-
pression, is a well-balanced person-
ality. The fifty-fifty husband is spared
emotional crisis. I trace this to the
fact that both of us are workers in
the same world and there Is no chance
for Imagination to function overtime."
When babies come, the writer con-
cludes, his wife will remain with them
until they reach school age and I hen
will return to her work.
Mrs. Clarence Moore and sons and
her brother, C. R. Lee, and children of
Ashley, Ohio, motored over to Ante-
lope Saturday to visia their uncle,
Nelson Rudolph and family. They
returned Monday and on Tuesday left
for Anadarko, Okla., to visit with
their aunt, Mrs. K. A. James, and
family.

WHEN you sneeze ft Is not al-
ways a sign you are taking
cold. That 13 the opinion
! of physicians working on public
J health problems in the last few years.
Most men and women when they feel
that tickling in the nose or throat im-
mediately look for the nearest door or
window, convinced that they are sit-
ting In a draft.
However, the draft, if there is one,
may have nothing to do with the mat-
ter at all, physlolans say. The un-
happy one merely has inhaled a tew
million or so dust particles.
That may be true particularly ot our
cities where enough dust floats in the
atmosphere In one year to build a
cone-shaped mountain 1,500 feet high,
with a five-mile diameter.
Some statistician has figured it out
that if all the dust that hovers
above American cities were gathered
in one place, say Manhattan Island,
that dust would be piled up on the
streets of Manhattan to the depth of
21 feet.
But one is likely to sneeze while
walking along a country road, though
not quite as likely as In ttie city. Here
the dust that is raised usually comes
from dirt or gravel roads. There is,
however, less likelihood of this today
than ever before as highway officials
now have at their command many
methods for "binding" the top cover,
particularly the use of such chemicals
as calcium chloride, considered by en-
gineers the best of dust layers.
KANSAS FAVORS
GRAVEL HIGHWAY
THE Kansas Highway Commis-
sion has adopted a definite pol-
icy ot using sand and gravel
on all the roads it can Improve that
way for the present
"Gravel and sand cost only $1,500
to |2,000 a mile," said John Gardner,
Highway Director. "By using these
materials, which are plentiful In many
sections, we can build roads passable
at all season* without difficulty or
long delay. They are easy and inex-
pensive to maintain. By using the
calcium chloride, the gravel and sand
are held together and the dust is ob-
viated. Of coarse, these roads will
hare to be rebuilt in fire or six yean,
but we feel that It Is better to baild
that way and get as many people
of the mud as possible rather
build short stretches ef more pei
nest and more expensive road«y j^gg
at this time." '

Epw«rth League PartyPicnic.
Ep worth Leaguers of the Methodist
Ichurch went to Montague Bluff, four
miles west of town, Wednesday eve-
ning and perpetrated one of the most
enjoyable party-picnics that lively
bunch has pulled off in some time,
and that is saying a good deal, for
Epworth Leaguers are known to be
full of fun as well as full of pep, and
where two or three Leaguers or more
are gathered together, if thre is any
innocent fun lying around loose they
are sure to prize it up.
They gathered at the church about
8:30 and went to the bluff in autos
and trucks, well supplied with sand-
wiches and cold drinks and bubbling
over with high spirits—socially and
lethically speaking.
Nor did they forget the music, tak-
ing alori« a guitar and a violin, and
one of thei leaguers was actually ac-
cused by some of the others, who
were possibly a little envious of him,
of taking his vox humana along, but
it was dark and they couldnt' prove
it on him.
Arriving at the bluff all cars and
trucks were unloaded and business
began to pick up. A few games were
played while the musicians were tun-
ing their instruments, then came a
number of popular airs on the violin
by Gid Prather, accompanied by Lyn-
ton Mitchell and Miss Mable Harwood
in turn on the guitar, after which
several sacred as well as popular
songs were sung, all the Leaguers
joining in and accompanied by the in-
struments. Mitchell did some splen-
did yodeiing and was heartily en-
cored.
About 10:30 refreshments were
served and to say that they were
abundant and delicious, would be to
put it mildly.
After a few more games and songs
devotional services were conducted,
led by the League president. L. J.
Blanton. Then giving fifteen cheers
for the Epworth League they reload-
ed and started for home. Just as .they
reaehed the edge of town the gas and
the wind (soda pop) both giving out
on the truck, a happy and elated lot
of Leaguers again cheerfully unload-
ed and wended their ways to their
several homes, hoping to try it again
some time.
Those participating were: Mr. and
Mrs. Thurman Hemphill, Misses Thel-
ma Morgan, Thelma Wells, Thelma
Aldriedge, Mable Harwood, Johnny
McMurray, Ruby Jewel Ashcraft,
Metta Moore, Pauline Griffin, Alice
Dee Griffin, Mardell Davis, Una Mor-
row, Carolyn Camp, Dorothy Stevens,
Bessie Thompson, Mrs. W. A. Linker,
Mr. and Mrs. R. Price, Messrs. L. J.
Blanton, Burr Morrow, Gid Prather,
Lynton Mitchell, Ernest Husband,
,George Peery, Garland Boyd, L. J.
Reynolds.
And, dear reader, if you were not
one of that bunch, you certainly
missed a rare treat.
Come to League next Sunday night.
AUTO ACCIDENT
INJURES DRIVER
\
We read of many peculiar causes
of auto acidents. Lester Nicholson
is now in the hospital as the result
of a terrible crash.
The sun and wind caused him to
have a bursting headache and he
states he did not see a culvert.
Many accidents are caused by
headaches and many motor trips are
spoiled by a throbbing headache.
If you suffer from severe, throb-
bing, bursting, nervous sick head-
aches, have neuralgia, rhematicm
of joints or muscles, dental aches or
earache, can't sleep soundly, are ner-
vous, you should at once get a tube
of 12 A-Vol tablets, 25c size; 30 tab-
lets, 50c size—the new prescription
for pain. Over 20,000 doctors, dent-
ists and nurses prescribe A-Vol daily
because they know it is absolutely
armless. A-Vol does not contain as-
pirin, acetanilid, or any heart de-
pressant. It stops pain in five min-
utes, or your druggist will refund
your money. A-Vol docs not numb
th^ pain a3 do the older types of pain
reliefs—-it acts by relieving the ner-
vous tension. That's why A-Vol acts
so quickly and why it loaves you
feeling so fine and full of pep.
You owe it to yourself to try this
new discovery. Keep a package In
your car at all times.

PUBLIC HEALTH
Steps taken to promote public health are an in-
vestment in dollars and cents as well as in human
lives that yield a high rate of interest.
Summer time is here and the dangers of typhoid
in our midst are great. It is only by the, co-opera-
tiion of the citizens of Saint Jo that the toll of this
disease may be greatly lessened or abolished. All
premises in and about the city should be kept as
clean as possible in order that the health of the cit-
izenship may be protected.
Among other powers conferred upon the gov-
erning bodies of towns and cities, we note Section
10 of Article 1015, Revised Civil Statutes of Texas,
which is as follows:
"The governing body shall also have power to
require the owner of private drains, sinks and privies
to fill up, cleanse, drain, alter, relay, repair, fix or
improve the same as may b« ordered by any resolu-
tion or ordinance of said city; and in the event of
any failure, neglect or refusal to comply with any
such order, the party s0 failing shall be liable to fine.
In the event of there being no person in the city on
whom such order can be served, the city may have
such work done and such improvments made on
account of the owner thereof. All costs, charges
and expenses shall be a lien on the property, on the
filing of a memorandum by the mayor, under the seal
of the corporation thereof, and recording the same
with the Clerk of the District Court. The city may
enforce said lien and institute suit in the corporate
name and obtain judgment against said party for
the amount so due as aforesaid in any court having
jurisdiction."
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of
aure". Let's clean up Saint Jo and thereby make it
a safe place in which to live.
Let's watch the typhoid germ,
