Jll Sufferers will benefit by writing E for valuable information sent free Kupon request. C. F. Eedlich, Eupture Shield Expert, 535 Boston Block, Minne apolis, Minn Canon Woods, of Cambridge, Eng land, made a speech to 1,000 clergy men. It is to be hoped that most of these clergymen were intelligent be cause they listened to a splendid speech and had a chance to profit by it, and pass along, each in his own sphere, the results of his ruminations. To all who are capable of thinking, Canon Woods' remarks present mater ial for many an hour of thought. Here are a few extracts from his speech: "It is disquieting to observe how much there is in our midst of sheer stupidity and muddle-headedness. "One generally spots a man of un disciplined mind by his cocksureness. and his cocksureness will be reverse ratio to his years. "If civilization is the art of living together it must be admitted that the world in general and Europe in particular has not yet made a great success of art. "It is characteristic of our swift, butling world to want everything at once. There is often virtue in impatience, but the desire for shorf cuts is frequently stupid and dis astrous. He then summarizes the England of today as follows: "Politicians who lack the true sense of responsibility; the so-called idle rich who apparently never heard of the word 'discipline,' workingmen who repudiate the agreements made in their name by their leaders; dramatists, and film producers who have no sense of reticence or re straint; pleasure seekers who never know when or where to halt; foot ball crowds who boo the referee; holiday makers who defile the coun tryside with litter; parents who can not or will not control their children; young people who own no authority but their own wishes and whims." England is far away from us. About 3,000 miles from our East and about 6,000 miles from our West. The great bulk of our population are so happy and prosperous that they do not care a hang what England thinks or what England is worrying about. But it might afford every Ameri can much food for thought to realize that these remarks of Canon Woods apply as well to us as they do to the English. One remark, In particular, is striking: "It is disquieting to observe how much there is in our midst of sheer stupidity and muddle-headedness." If the speaker had been traveling from New York to San Francisco or from Duluth to New Orleans and had spent a week in each resting place en route, one would suspect that he re ferred to the religious bigotry of our various sects, the franticism of many of our local and national organiza tions, the underlying intelligence of our political and partisan movements and, in general, the darn-follery of our attitude to the vital and ever lasting problems of life. But, as far as we know, he hasn't been here at all. He was only speak ing of England. Yet the shoe seems manufactured for our foot. Is it possible that we have more in common with England than we knew of? Can the English be the same kind of hopeless ginks that we are? PROHIBITION JOLTED Enforcement of prohibition has apparently been handed some hard jolts during recent months. A cn stant drive to strengthen belief that the law can never be really put in effect has been carried out with the consequent result that many are accepting the assumption as a fact. Perfect prohibition enforcement will probably not be witnessed by the present generation. At least there are no indications at present that it will. But it is reasonable to expect that conditions will Improve over a wider margin of time and that in a decade from now there will be considerably less drinking than is now the case. Can we say that because we, the present generation, are unable to obey our own laws those who follow us will be likewise deficient. . There is a possibility that those who are to come will develope in themselves a higher sense of responsibility to their government. This in itself may not be a purely voluntary change. Economic upheaveals may force the people of the future to abide more strictly to the rules which they set upon themselves. Obviously, prohibition can not be judged pro and con by present re sults. If a man is sick and, after being given food still remains sick, one does not conclude that food is unnecessary to the man's existence. A search is made for other ills. Similarily, since It has been affirmed by a majority of the people that pro hibition is desirable, it should not be eliminated merely because at the moment it does not work out smooth ly to th superclaims made for it by 1st more enthusiastic advocates.

ELLA KENNEDY, Plaintiff. C. A. Rawls, Attorney. (o26-4w) "Most blonds are gold diggers. "Brunettes improve the acquaint; ance; blonds do net. "Since there are more brunettes, greater choice can be exercised. "Brunettes are more diccreet." Such are the conclusions reached by the sophisticated young gentlemen of the College of William and Mary as disclosed by the responses to a questionnaire sent out by an enter prising class in journalism. Three out of every four of the young owned to preference for philandering with blonds but perdicted that when the time comes to choose a girl with whom to walk down the church aisle keeping step to Mr. Mendelssohn's well known tune they will give ser ious and probably favorable consider ation to the claims of the brunettes. Blonds, it seemed to be the con census of opinion, are "brilliant but irresponsible;" brunettes on the oth er hand are "all there." This ex ceedingly lucid explanation of the matter makes it as clear as mud. Just the same the blonds need not be disheartened over the turn affairs have taken. For blonds have been checking in at the marriage alter with pretty gratifying regularity ever since that well known institut ion was founded and it is highly probabl that they will continue to do so, notwithstanding the stand taken by the young gentlemen of William and Mary not a few of whom, we venture to say, will have their coffe poured for them at the breakfast table in future years by blonds. :o: Advertise your want in the Jour nal for results.
