One St. Louis shoe factory sold

. A French statesman refers to the

American congress.
The American dollar dropped back
to par in the Amsterdam Bourse the

That Kentucky bootlegger who
fortified himself in the mountains

defy it.
:o:
Engagement and wedding rings in
platinum are the cat's fur these days.
Only Scottish Rite Masons now buy
broad gold bands for the finger. And
that makes grandma with her old
fashioned wedding band conspicuous.
Something is always happening to
stylo to make some folks conspicuous.
Senators from the eastern indus
trial states assert that the farm bloc
in congress is asking more relief for
the farmers than they really need.
But then, on the other hand, the sen
ators from the agricultural west
have a feeling that the tariff bloc
asked and got more relief for the
manufacturer than lie really needed.
:o: .
Constipation
Constipation of the bowels is a
stoppage of the sewerage system that
removes waste matter from the body.
It is as necessary that jour bowels
move regularly ouce each day to
carry olf this waste, as it is that the
waste pipes of your home be kept
open and carry off the waste from
the home. If you would enjoy good
health, keep your bowels regular by
taking Chambtrlain'e Tablets when
needed. Weyrich & Hadraba.
If any departed spirit cares more
for $5,000 than for even a few min
utes of time in the region where it
now abides, no matter which one, it
can pick up that amount right off
the bat by merely returning to earth
and making itself known to the pub
lishers of the Scientific American.
This offer does not include depart
ed spirits which were banished by
the Volstead act. Even in New York,
just before Christmas, they were not
offering quite that much for such
spirits in small lots. It would take a
whole gallon to cost that much, ex
clusive of the fine and the funeral
expenses.
"' The offer is made only for the de
parted spirits of human beings, the
idea of the Scientific American being
to prove or disprove all the beliefs of
spiritualists, both amateur and pro
fessional, by this one swashing swipe
of its sword at the glummy Gordian
knot.
This causes Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle to rise up on his hind legs and
emit a protest. Such an offer will not
attract sincere spiritualists, he as?
serts. but will attract a horde of fak
irs. And, no matter whether he is
right or wrong in his belief in spirit
ualism, Sir Arthur certainly is right
in that. -
What will any self respecting spir
it care for $5,000? The first thing-
folks are supposed to learn after they
shuffle off is that the most wasteful
thing-they did in life was striving to
accumulate money.
They find that Charon runs one
passenger line on which no tip
ping and "positively no gratitudes"
really mean something. They can't
buy any reserved seats from St.
Peter; or, if they pass through the
door over which, according to Dante,
is written 'A11 hope abandon, ye
who enter here," they are supposed
to at once begin regretting that they
ever had any but the most honestly
and aruously earned money. They
not only are believed to realize
wealth and all it brings are but
childish toys, but to pity their de
luded friends in the world they left
behind. So how are they going to be
appealed to by an offer' of $5,000,
cither for their own use or that of
their friends?
About the only chance the'.Scien-
ific American's offer has of bring
ng out anything but fakirs is for
ome departed Potash or Perlmutter
linging to the acquisitive faculty
even after death, to come back and
cop that $5,000 for the benefit of
"the firm."
