The war has taught us to damn
all diadems.
Politics and yachting are tooth
matters of wirtd.
A good deal of economy is wet-
nursed by necessity.
Lobsters are up in price. The
human brand below par.
Do not use your friends or your
credit overly much.
The big crops are handicapping
the calamity howlers.
Speaking of minimum wage,
that's what married women get.
The white man's burden seems to
be borne by the mail carrier.
Married men agree the inventor
of hooks and eyes should be execut
ed. People in high places shoot ofT
more flapdoodle than common folks
do.
-:o:-
JAZZ AS A STIMULANT.
A soap factory in ' Connecticut,
having a shortage of help in the
wrapping room, Installed phono
graphs and dispensed jazz music
during working hours in order to
make the work more attractive. The
immediate result was a rush of ap
plicants. The girls certainly liked
that jazz music.
Another result, exceeding antici
pation, was that the girls did more
work. The music "jazzed up" their
spirits and bodies. They, felt more
like working, and they accomplish
ed more than before, with less fa
tigue. This need not have surprised any
body. It is a familiar phenomenon
in the south, where from time im
memorial it has been customary to
start gangs of negroes to singing in
order to cheer them up and get
them to move faster. Lively music
acts as a stimulant on nearly every
body, just as doleful music depress
es. Look what a good marching
tune does to a troop of soldiers or a
crowd of civilians.
Thus jazz at last comes in for a
good work. Instead of " distracting
minds, jangling nerves and destroy
ing human energy, as some critics
have maintained, it may be used to
increase energy and efficiency.
Let us hope, however, that if jazz
is made a general adjunct of indus
trial work, or any other kind of
work, there will be music of a more
soothing nature after the day'9
work is done. Surely no human
being can stand jazz day and night.

BRITISH PROFITEERING.
Reports from London say the
most flagrant profiteering is in
shoes and clothing. Shoes costing
$5 a pair wholesale are said to be
retailing at $15, aud a suit of cloth
es ing wholesale for $30 retails" for
$80.
There may be nothing quite eo
had as that in the United States,
but there is certainly a pronounced
tendency along that line. The re
cent report of 'the federal trade com
mission declares that extortibnate

profits are being made in shoes all
along the line, from the packer who
sells the hide down to the retail
dealer.
Nobody has charged that the
American shoe feialler makes the
200 per cent attributed to his Brit
ish brethren, or that the American
clothing retailer gets a correspond
ingly large profit. But there are
certainly inexcusable profits being
made somewhere in the shoe and
clothing business, and the aggregate
profit exacted from the consumer is
certainly more than either industry
as a whole has any right to.
Shoes and clothing are almost as
vital as food. Profiteering in them
is Just as intolerable.
:o:
THE HOBO'S DEFENSE.
A hobo writes to a newspaper an
interesting exposition of his point
of view:
"1 would like to ask what right
any one has to pity a hobo! As I
write I am lying under a big, shady
tree. I am free I wcrry about
nothing. The birds Ringing above
have nothing on me when it comes
to liberty. Just a little ways oif arc
the yards of a big railroad with its
trains coming and going constantly.
Any time it suits my fancy I can
travel, and it matters not to me
whether the 'railroads are returned
to their owners or taken by the gov
ernment, t will ride them anyway.
Why should I envy the busy folks
of. the city 'wearing themselves out
inside of skyscraper"; living their
conventional cut-and-dried lives, do
ing the same thing over and Over
again 365 times a year? I pity
them.'
"I work when I want a few dol
lars. When I get thirty or forty
dollars or a 'stake', I hand in my
resignation and am strictly my own
boss while it lasts. I consider my
self a thousand times more fortu
nate and happier than many who
are shut up in factories and offices
and tied down to jobs. I have found
my happiness on the road."
The letter justifies, to the hobo.
his hobo existence. But he forgets
a few important things. Without
this civilization he scorns, the pro
duct of other men, he could not lead
the happy hobo life. Without the
labor of other men there would be
no railroads. There would be no
workshop or factory where he could
cam hia stake at need. There would
be no cheap newspapers to- tell him
what the problems of other men
about railroads or other matters.may
be. There would be no shelter for
his winters, no hospitals to care
for what wound or illness he may
acquire on, the road. There would
be no provision for his old age.
The hobo may be happy in his
way but it is a selfish way. lie is
a parasite upon the labor of the
world. Other men pity him not
for his freedom nor his shady tree,
but for the fact that by his parasit
ism he has lost the greatest happi
ness in the world that of the self
respecting worker. And he has lost
the happiness of home joys and
children and the chance of a future
when freedom and shady trees and
sunny roadsides have Tbecn well
earned, and are therefore - all the
sweeter.
The hobo's joys are the child's
joys those of today, dependent up
on wind and weather and other peo
ple. The joys of manhood arte for
ever denied him. .
-:o:
William Randolph Hearst says he
is disappointed in President Wilson.
Considering that William Randolph
Is a 'millionaire who can have plo
threes times a day and most any
thing else he wants in this world,
he has a whole lot of - disappointments.
The fleas no doubt get hungry
But that does not make it right
For them to get in bed with us
And bit sa hard at night.
:o;
Country debating societies are
still chewing the rag as to which
kills the most men, whisky or wr.rs.
Both are' bad, but we believe that
we would rather be full of booze
than bullets. .
- :o:
"What is perfect sang froid,"
asks a curious exchange. Ah, that's
where the soprano in the church
choir su'ids up to sing and sticks
her gum on the pipe organ instead
of swallowing it.
:o:
The average woman believes that
had she been' in Eve's place Adam
would still be in the Garden. The
average man, however, knows very
well that had he been in Adams'
place he would have fallen.
:o:
If somebody gets your goat, as
the saying goes, don't get mad and
hot like the business end of a hor
net, but just look around a while
and get some other fellow's goat.
There are no end of stray goats.
Annual Affair to be Held This Yea:

We have been reading several of
Senator Johnson's speeches lately.
and they read real nice. It must
cost him something for sapolio and
Dutch cleanser to keep that brass
halo of his rubbed up so shiny and
bright.

HE WOULD WALK
FLOOR FOR HOURS
Had Smothering Spells And Could
Hardly Breathe Suffered
26 Years.
"I have been in poor health for
twenty-six years, and have tried
many different medicines and treat
ments, but my troubles were not
overcome until I commenced taking
Tanlac," said C. D. Williamson, who
is employed as engineer for the
Twin City Pipe Covering Co., and
who lives at 1060 Everett Court, St.
Paul, Minn., the other day.
"I suffered from stomach trouble
and indigestion during all these
years," he continued, "and when I
commenced taking Tanlac, I had
given up all hope of ever finding a
medicine that, would do me any
good. During the past year I took
six different treatments, but I didn't
get any relief at all. Everything I
ate soured on my stomach, and I
would be bloated up with gas for
hours at a time, and would have the
worst sort of cramping spells. Very
often this gas would get up into my
chest and cause my heart to palpi
tate so bad that I -could hardly get
a good breath, and when these spells
came on me at night I couldn't lie
down, and Just had to walk the floor
for hours at a time trying to get a
good breath. Sometimes my arms
and legs would go to sleep and I
would have to rub them for a long
time before I could use them. I
finally got so weak and run down
that I had to lose a lot of time from
my work.
"One day a friend of mine told
me that he knew a man who had
suffered exactly as I was, and that
Tanlac had brought him around all
right. Well. I thought that if it
had done that man so much good, it
ought to help me, and I commenced
taking Tanlac right away. I am
glad I took that view of the matter.
for my twenty-six years of suffer
ing is a thing of the past now, and
I am in better health in every way
than I have been for many years. I
ara completely rid of that stomach
trouble and indigestion. I have a
fine appetite, and eat just anything
I want and I never suffer a particle
afterwards. I never have those awful
cramping spells now, and my legs
and arms do not go to sleep on me
like they did. In fact, I am as well
and strong as I ever was in my life,
and I go to sleep as soon as I hit
the bed at night, and am dead to
the world until time to get up every
morning. I can do as much work
as anybody now, but I never lose
any time from the job. Yes, sir.
Tanlac was a godsend to me, and I
say a good word for it every chance
I have."
