Dixie sees to it that all Bing's-affairs run smoc^hls/ that ' he keeps regular hours, iharbe eats the proper foods.

Credit Wisconsin Man With Ice Cream Sundae 1 According to the Two Rivers (Wisconsin) Reporter, the modern ice creani sundae was invented by George Hallauer, of that city. E. C. Bernes, retired Two Rivers confectioner, is quoted as saying that trimmings on Ice creani dishes were not known 40 years ago. Chocolate sirup was used only for flavoring sodas. One night young George Hallauer dropped into the Bernes Ice cream parlor. He ordered Ice cream and then noticed the chocolate sirup bottle. He asked for some on his ice cream. "Don't spoil a dish, of ice cream," said Mr. Bernes. "Oh. ill try it,*> 0«»rge, ttie pioneer. He tried it all right, and liked it, and pretty soon the whole town was asking for ice cream "with stuff on it." , A competitor of Bernes resented the fad that increased the cost, to the dealer, of an ice cream portion, so he announced he would only serve the new dish on Sunday. Hence the name. .-- Detroit Free Press. Self-Revelatloa - We ourselves are the real word, the life utterance which speech often falsifies. There are faces which never deceive nor mislead us. A spiritual nature can but be frank and honest, because its foundation stones are laid in the truth, and it knows that nothing else holds. It Is in us as human beings instinctively to recognize and hate Insincerity. Nobody is in the end deceived by expression which Is merely outward and perfunctory. Our inner life is transparent; It cannot conceal itself; if it is a true life it has no need or desire of Concealment.--Lacy Larcom. . .<> ME. and Mrs. Roy Paasfield called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Eddy at Grayslake Tuesday.
