Tho wretched habit of profanity
comoB largely from tho profiiBo
use of by-words. Tho transition
from a by-word that muy bo por-
foctly hurmlesB to imprecation
and profanity is not a long stop.
It is "My stars mercy on mo
good gracious by Georgo by
jovo by gosh" und a host of
other similnr expressions. You
go on little by little until a vol-
ume of courso words are flowing.
Thcso littlo words hnrmleBS in
thoiiiBolvcs nro next door to iin-
precintion nnd blusphemy. Tho
habit is creeping up into tho
highest Btyles of society. Wo-
inon hnvo no mercy with Hut und
unvarnished profanity. They will
order a man out of thoir parlor
for swearing nnd yot you will find
them with u fairy fun to tho fnco
taking on thoir lips the holiest of
names in uttor frivolty. The Eng-
lish language is comprehensive
nnd capable of expressing nil
manner of feolingB and every de-
gree of energy.
Aro you happy?
Noah Webstar will give you
scores of words with which to ex-
press your oxhilorntion.
Aro you righteously indignant?
Thoro aro whole armories in tho
vocabulary expressing wrath
scorn and Burcusin. You express
yourself against Homo meanness
in all tho oaths that ure smoked
up from tho plutoninu pits.
Thoro is no oxcuso for profanity
when wo havo such a mnguificiont
lungungo to express ovory omotion
whether of plousuro or nngor.
Our injunction is don't swenr.
It is a menu ugly habit nnd n
violntion of God's command
whom all nro dejionding on for
blessings in this world and in
morality in tho next
Wishing that tho choicoB bene-
dictions of lloavon may now and
forevor ubido with our renders
wo enst aside tho pen and bid you
good night.

Out of Date Plumbing is Unhealthy
Plumbing fixtures and systems as made and
installed some years ago were cry efficient
nt that time but so many improvements liavc been made recently
in sanitation that an old plumbing system is not only unsanitary
but is a menace to the health of the occupants of the house in
which it is still in use.
Is Your Plumbing Out of Date?
If so the members
of your household arc
constantly risking their
health. Defective
plumbing generates
germ-bearing s c w c r
gases which pollute the
atmosphere and cannot
help but be breathed by
the occupants. Sewer
gas is dangerous and the
strongest constitution
cannot long withstand
its ill effects.
Let us examine the condition of your plumbing in order to
correct defective piping and install the best and most sanitary fix-
tures made namely ".Standard" Baths and One-piece Lavatories.
"tnudaiHl" Ware is guaranteed. If this is done your home will
be healthy and more comfortable m Ask for booklet "Moderi
Home Plumbing."

It is very likoly that tho house
would havo been destroyed had

minutes later.
It is thought that tho fire was
of incendiary origin. The bop'oii

chair was standing hud been
slightly brokon previously but
nftor tho flro was put out it was
discovered that u much largo r
opening had been made in the
scroon. A man could eiiBily have
reached tho chair through tlio
scroon. It is not known why any

ting flro to Conductor Aiken's
