Ex-Secretary Fall now knows how it must feel to a sardine to be done in oil. :o: Some men, when they get old are subject to, rheumatism; others to reminiscences. Somehow affections seem more easily alienated in circles where in comes are above $25,000 a year. . . :o: . Dear lady, it may be brutal to shoot little rabbits, but sealskin coats must be provided in some way. r. :o: Well, you can't blame metropoli tans for failing to be polite. No body likes to be called a "darned hick." : :0: The only thing that prevents the formation of a third party is the con viction that it would finish that way. :o: Prediction of more revelations of corruption, in the way of a new scan dal that will shake the country with what we have on hand. :o: If they'd put scare heads en tl:e pages of the Congressional Record nowadays it would be barred from conservative homes as sensationalism journalism. ;;o: . . .

The war department ha refused a commission for W. K. Hearst in the military intelligence reserves corps. A man of the Hearst type would be a palpable misfit in any place where intelligence was required. :o: In the old days a woman objected to a man smoking because the odor got in her hair. Last year American women smoked over 6,000,000 cig arets. Now we know why the fair sex are in for bobbed hair! :o: It's presidential year, and natur ally the circumstances gives people an additional interest in life. But we trust they will not let it put them behind with their work. The farms, the factories, the banks, the stores, the boarding houses, all must con tinue to operate full time, campaign or no campaign. :o: . Senator Owen wants an inquiry on the origin of the World war. If this subject is going to be brought up again there are some veteran questions that should be settled. Who made that hardtack? Who knitted those socks? Who made these rjincoats? Who got the cig arettes? Who ate the candy? Who started slum? Who won the war? :o: In the last year Americans ate more meat than-ever before, accord ing to the packers' national organi zation. Medical examiners for In surance companies accordingly will be instructed to watch more closely for high blood pressure. The secret of sensible diet is moderation. Too much is as bad as not enough, in the matter of food, possibly worse.

Some of our politicians seem, to be lieve that government should yield the greatest good to the fewest num ber. :o: There seems to be an unwritten law that upholstered, chairs must get comfortable until the tapestry wears ragged. 1 :o: A teacher in Indiantown, Fla.. says the earth is flat, reminding us Voliva hasn't had any publicity in a long time. In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love and you begin to see the advertisements of plows for mules. :o: Another thing, when the "zephyr kisses her cheek," it's about the only thing he can do and not get any paint on his mouth. :o: Did Coolidge request Daugherty to resign? And did he tell the presi dent that he wouldn't do it? Well, we'd show him, If we were in Cool idge's place. Throw him out. It can't be done any too soon to please the people. :o: Bad men have been found who were planning to make counterfeit thousand dollar treasury notes; which wouldn't have been serious for newspaper men, anyway. The av erage would throw a fit if he ever got a hold of that much money at one time. :o: Indians aren't becoming extinct. There are over 344,000 more than 1913. These Indians own a little over a billion dollars worth of prop erty. That's $3,000 apiece. It's a unique situation In the hstory of conquered races. Many a white man wishes he had $3,000 for himself and every member of his family. :o: : The federal courts in the last four years have handled more than 115, 000 criminal cases in connection with the prohibition act. This av erages 11S a day. A conservative estimate would be that the courts do not reach one in 1,000. Enforce ment of law, in the long run depends on public opinion, popular respect for law INSOMNIA AND INDIGESTION Every lovers' quarrel. evry spat .nH wfA begins in between husband and wife begins the stew pot or the oven, says a cele- brated surgeon. Moat of us have no- ticed a tendency to become irritable when our digestion is out of order. The London surgeon even believes that character is considerably regu- lated by what goes into the stomach. j He's reasoning along the same lines as feeding raw meat to a prize fight - er to. make him rerocioua or cauwjr w a girl to make her amiable. Sir William Osier once said: "For some reason the brain and the atom - ' ,aca nave never Deeu. meu, " - 7 cleverest men I know treat their T! stomach like dogs." - - ... .Charlea E. Uecht, English iooa ex - ipert,, eaya h studied great men o T , history and decided Osier was right, llavhart RtionfPr. the 'TlhilOSODher. I I always ate a heavy dinner an hour before going to bed and never waa able to figure out why he bad Inaom-. nia and indigestion. Hecht thinks Spencer's gloom and cynicism wre caused by his ignorance of the siav plest dules of diet. Napoleon, another dyspeptic. at irregular hours. He bolted his meals. He gorged. He was forever munching candy. Here was a bril- liant man, intellectual enough to conquer nation after nation. Yet he couldn't master bis appetite. Shakespeare's marvelous plays could never have been written by dyspeptic. He ate- carefully, sensi - ibly and had excellent digestion. A biff insurance company claims that nearly half of the illnesses of its policy holders originate in indige- the sole Purpose- of speeding him up. tion You recall the old saying, that In otner words, the desire and pur most people dig their graves with pose is to "burn nim out" as fast as their teeth. Good cooks cause more indigestion than bad cooks, for pastry victuals entice people to overeat. Most folks, when, the stomach, is. upset, blame it on some particular thing they have eaten. As a rule, though, indiges tion is caused by eating too much or too fast, as is the tendency in this madhouse age when every one im agines he's in a hurry. An old country doctor says it s a good rule to go away from, the table a bit hungry. The stomach can easily he the gateway to the ceme tery. :o: A CLEAN PEOPLE Many persona who- ordinarily are! not pessimistic now, fear, if they do I not believe, that the United States is J headed straight for the Baa Place, They read and hear about "petting"; tney see moves wnitu ouiy vanuus 1 1 t 1 . I . censorships keep within the bounds f of decency and they generally take it for granted that there is no hope left in us. Well, to a certain point I they are rieht: beyond that point they are wrong. It is true that the war let down a eood many Darners, even nere at i home,' partly because women were engaged in work which was splendid but made countless opportunities which would not have been present- ed normally, partly because young men were going overseas to fight and. possibly and probably, to die. and partly because a world wide excite ment tilted normality. It is true, too, that prohibition has vastly in creased the hip pocket habit and that, whatever it may eventually ac complish, it has effected, temporarily a huge growth In the habit of drink ing among the very young, and espe cially among the very young gins. "Going on a party" commonly means something nowadays it never meant in other days, when even the phrase was never employed. But. though these conditions are deplorable and even alarming, they do not herald the downfall of the United States; they do not forecast a fail like that of Rome; they do not in the least Indicate this country is vapidly- on its way to the Bad Place. As a matter of fact, in so far as the Anglo-Saxon people are con cerned, conditions even worse than these have "graph" of Anglo-Saxon moral history within the last few centuries would show sharply alter nating depressions and peaks. Without going further back than the approximate time of America's settlement it will be remembered that the winning, worthless and vi cious Stuarts, who set an example which most of fashionable England followed, were succeeded by Crom well and his Roundhead Puritans; that the profligate and debauched line of later Georges was follewed by the long and strict reign of Victoria; and that even the accomplished1 dip lomat and lover, Edward VII, was succeeded by the extremely quiet and well-behaved George V. After the American Revolution, the English monarchs bad not admitted, power $ but they, nevertheless, pitched the tone of England, if not for Great Britain. Despite the great influx of Euro peans, it is not to be questioned that the United States as a whole is gov-. erned bt e Anglo-Saxons, or rath - er, by those who are blood kin of the people of Great Brltain and Ireland, .ioi nr. InjgQ tnat our national life is more like theirs than like that of any other people. And, while our "irraDh" 6D0W3 tnat we are jn a depression I now, it will certainly show within a J few years that we are on a peak . if there is any one reason for that. ht i9 that there is something: innate. jy ciean an(j fine f0r our pe0ple that, 1 sooner or later, leads them to lift taemselves out or the mire.
