drink in kindly feeling, are to be
found in the Keystone state,
It is
sad but true.
! Appointment of Brigadier General
Smedley D,
Butler, of the Marine
Corns. . as Philadelphia's director of
'public safety is a demonstration of
this surprising humanness.
Tt- 11
goes back to Covernor PinchoL's ex-
pressed desire to put down flirtatioa
with John Barleycorn. Thase, it will
;be remembered, are so frequent and
jso open in Pennsylvania as to become
a national scandal. Pinchot quar
i reled with the president about it,
hinting that the whole terrible situa
tion was due to that official's inac
tivity and demanding that he take
command in person of the flying
squadron directed against the booze
strongholds. The president dissent
ed to the opinion and ignored the
executive order.
Mayor-elect Kendrick, of Philadel
phia, is an anti-Plnchot republican,
and resents with all his heart the ap
parent desire of the governor to play
exclusively the role of Hercules
cleaning out the political stables. Ac
cordingly, Mr. Kendrick has decided
to do a little cleaning himself. That
is the reason for Director of Public
Safety Butler, who will take his post
January 1 for a tour of duty lasting
precisely one year. At the end of
that time, Mr. Kendrick hopes, not-a
bootlegger, will be left in all Phila
delphia; crime will have ceased, ev
ery citizen will wear a continuous
smile and the place will become again
in very truth, the City of Brotherly
Love.
General Butler probably will ac
complish that very thing. He is one
of the most efficient men the ma
rines have had since they fought
with John Paul Jones. . And, when
the general will have cleaned up
Philadelphia, making it a fit place
for even William Jennings Bryan
and Wayne Wheeler to live in. May
or Kendrick may point the teasing
finger ,at Pinchot " and say, "Now
ain't you sumpin to be talking about
cleaning things up? While you talk
ed I acted. All the bootleggers that
infested, Philadelphia have folded
their tents like the Arabs and as. si
lently stolen away. And look at the
number you still have oh hand."-
That will be the only ripple to dis
turb the general kindly feeling in
the reconditioned City of Brotherly
Love.
And President Coolidge will be en
abled to laugh in his sleeve. General
Butler is being given a year's leave
of absence from the Marine Corps,
with his rank undisturbed. Secretary
of the Navy Denby opposed it, tooth
and nail. So did Major General
John A. Lejeune, commandant of the
corps. But the president, after a
talk with Mayor-elect Kendrick, thot
it would be a fine thing for Butleo
tr rlcknn Tin "PMIarlfilririia
" -
It will be remembered that
Pin-
chot has been a severe critlc of thQ
administration and he may oppose
the president for the nomination next
year.
And Kendrick is trying mighty
hard to stab Pinchot in the back.

WL'EN YOU HUNGER
Do you feel irritable and aggres
sive when you need" food? Most peo
ple do, especially nervous tempera
ments. As soon as they satisfy the
cravings of the stomach, they relax
and feel at peace with the world.
All this is inherited from ancient
times when man was in the animal
state or not far removed from it. Na
ture made animals and primitive
men aggressive and wrathful when
they needed food, so they'd be incit
ed to go out into the jungle and kill.
Hunger appeased, they relaxed,
became drowsy nature again assert
ing her cunning by making them
want to lie down and doze, giving
the stomach unrestricted blodd sup
ply to aid digestion and rebuild the
exhausted cells of the body.
We no longer have to go out and
kill animal life with bow and arrow
or spear or nana to hand comoat.
We simply go to a restaurant or
open the lunch pail and get what
we want. If the service is slow and

Sticks. This shows sometning. Is it van
ity or extravagance or vice? Hard
ly either of these. We incline to the
answer that it shows the "power of

When you read the attractive ad
vertising literature of the great
manufacturing houses you are per
suaded to resolve that you hence
forth will brush your teeth regular
ly, that you will wash your face
with that delicious massage soap,
that you will go in debt for a new
car and you will fix up an oil white
kitchen with linoleum on the floor.
You regret that you do not live in a
