JUST BECAUSE MAN PROPOSES It Remains Only for Woman to Prove Herself Adaptable to Cir­ cumstances. If a woman could hare the same lib- •tf of choice in the acquiring of a husband as a man has In the selec­ tion of a wife, consider the change it would make in the marriage problem and in the divorce court. It by no meafts follows that because a man lores a woman she lores him. But he may be the omly man who loves her, or he may be the only man who is eligible, or the only nifi.ii her people want her to marry, or any one of 100 onlies yon can easily thltfk of for your­ self. And wliat then? There may be some unattainable man the woman really does love, but what can she do? Al­ most nothing! She is bound to choose from the men who come t • her. True, she can stay single, and many women do so, and on this very account--that they never have happened to love the mon who loved them. But to stay single is not a solution of the question, and it does not appeal to the major ity of women. Nine times out of ten the woman locks up in her heart the Ideal of a husband she has formed, or the pref- er*ncea she has Inherited ov ac­ quired. or the thought of the other man. and takes the man who igants to marry her, whether or not he Is the man she wants to marry. If 6he is a woman of character she persuades herself and others that he is ttie man She wants to marry. She lends her­ self to whatever form his wooing may take. If he is blond and bearded, though she prefer dark eyes and shaven face, yet you would never guess it from word of hers. She may have assured herself every day that she will marry only a man of dignity, but she will re­ cant when hor suitor proves a clown. She may adore spontaneous mearl- ment and not only marry a straight- laced prude but swear that it Is the only kind of a man sh« can endure.-- Margaretta M. Tuttle In Collier's. ve and %' ' i * 4-Progfr^Hl ag Pharmacy Population of Australia. An advance estimate of the popula­ tion of the commonwealth of Australia places the total- number of people in the six states as 4,474,000, reports Consul Qeneral John P. Bray, Sidney. Allowing for what may be styled a normal Increase during the months which must elapse before April 1, I9il, when the ten-year census will be taken, there should be at that date a total of 4,500,000. That would repre­ sent an Increase faring the decade of about 725,000,000, or 19 per cent Ta­ king the nine and three-fourths years to December 31, next, the federal stat­ istician estimates that New South Wales will show an Increase of 305,- 000, Victoria an ificrease of 137,000, West Australia of 97J3®0, Queensland of 94,000, South Australia of 61,000 and Tasmania of only 15,500. The es­ timates follow: New South Wales, 1,661,000; Victoria, J,328,000; Queens- land, 692,000; South Australia, 426,- 000; West Australia, 280,000; Tas­ mania. 186,000. It Is calculated that West Australia has relatively gained 1.41 per cent, and Queensland 0.03 pet cent., but that Victoria had relatively lost 2.14 per cent., Tasmania 0.36 per oent., and South Australia 0.14 per cent Country of Small Fortunes. Equal distribution, liberty of work, the responsibility which springs from it, the taste for thrift, which It en­ genders. the consciousness that each individual is the architect of his own fortune, have made France the coun­ try of small but numerous fortunes, says a writer In Moody's Magazine. At the beginning of the last century the dividing up of landed property was the chJef manifestation of this division of wealth. The number of successions declarations has contin­ ued to grow. In 1906 there were de- , » ma 1 AA J iU.

In 1846 there were l,B46,000 licensed traders and 1,842,500 in 1908. The latter fig­ ure includes the liberal professions. The number of licensed traders for commerce and Industry amounted In 1906 to 1,720,000; that is to say, one license for every 23 inhabitants. Individuality. Every lite Is a profession of faith, and exercises an Inevitable and silent propaganda. As far as lies In Its power, it tends to transform the uni­ verse and humanity into Its own im­ age. Thus we have all a cure of souls. Every man is the center of per­ petual radiation like a luminous body; he Is, as it were, a beacon which en­ tices a ship upon the rocks. If It does not guide It Into port. Every man it a priest, even involuntarily; his con­ duct Is an unspoken sermon, which is forever preaching to others; but there are priests of Baal, of Moloch, and ol all the false gods. Such Is the high Importance of example.--Amlel's Jour nal. Helping Farmers Wife. The New York SUts Ccllsge of Ag­ riculture at Cornell appropriated money some time ago to the work of a domestic science course, a reading course for farmers' wives being the first thing established. There are now 16,000 farmers' wives taking the course of home study. Questions may be sent to the department and these sre answered by specialists. A house­ keeper's conference has been organ­ ised, which meets during the farmers' convention each year. OLD SOLDIER TORTURED.

THE NORTHERN LIFE OF ILLI­ NOIS. \ We endeavor to conduct a drug store that is fully up to the times, or a little ahead of the times, if possible. This requires constant effort on our part to make improvements or additions to our stock and equipment, and we never hesitate to do so when the interests of our customers will be promoted to the slight­ est degree. We have what people want, we give them what they ask for, and provide high quality of goods and service, whether it is asked for or not. :: N. H. PETESCH Druggist, McHenry - Telephone 374 "THE REASON" We were told by one of our progressive farmers one day recently, "My wife asked me to pur­ chase some other brand of flour aside from the McHenry product because the family eats so much more of the bread made from the 'Early Riser* brand. " That rich flavor is what gets 'em all and for this reason said farmer could not accommodate his wife, and the family is still using the "Early Riser" brand.
