Camels MODERN smokers insist upon value received, and they place Camel first among cigarettes. Regardless of price, Camel is the popular smote, because it has the most to offer. Its choicest, tobaccos and careful blending have made Camels supreme in an age that demands quality. All the money in the world could not make a better cigarette than Camel. It has proved itself to the experi enced taste, to the careful smokers cf the modern age. Let this cigarette show you how mild and mellow a good smoke can really be.

KerooTds Tobacco Compaoy, Winston-Salm, N. C, V v pi SAFE AND SANE HIGHWAYS It took twenty years cf good hard campaigning to get a Fourth of July that showed even a semblance of san ity. The campaign now lias been fair ly well won. and in the last few year? the cannon crackers and sky rocket casualties have been brought from major to minor sKirmish propor tions. Before the safe and sane propaganda began to take hold the fifth of July list of dead and injured was comparable to the size cf the hos pital roster after the Uattle of the Ar- ! gonne. I Though the f. re-cracker fatalities i arf now courted in hundreds, where one-1 tl.ey were counted in thousands innJ tons cf thousand-, there is a new ! rn- nnre to life and limb which, in the last few years, has threatened to j ei;:nl the fireworks terror in its most '. malignant form. This is evident in the growing passion ef American peo S pie to take themselves out and get ! themselves run over by street cars, i interurbans. steam trains, and auto- mobiles. Pedestrians and motorists alike suf : for this weakness, for Americans now ' ; : em to call ro holiday complete un less there is a death list for the day .after. The fifth of July, the thirty j first of May, the Tuesday after Labor Day, and the Christmas holiday per iod, are perhaps the blackest days on the calendar, but any bright Sunday when the roads are good will give the Monday r.ew.-pr pers that terribly tri'e headline. "Family Killed in Crossing ' Accident." If the American people would listen to some of the preaching and follow the practice of the campaign against dangerously rxplo.-ive fireworks, they 'should be iniiiifeent enough to lii 1 1 ii to and practice th? doctrine of i fr.fcty ar.d sanity on the highways, j It takes a killjoy of the worst var iety to t.-il people that the only sure way to avoil trouble on a holidcy j rowded hiahway is to stay home, but i some such drastic commandment seems ti be the only plausible solu tion. Between the fire-cracker and the automobile, the fire-cracker seem to be the 1"-- d r.dly of the two e vils. Only ".oOO si::Ter injury or death from firewcrks every year, while the auto mobile accounts for ever 20.00 ! deaths ar.d 500. 00 injuries annually. : - : ' The firrt filing station for zr'-'- , has been established by the Boston ! public library, which serves notice jthet ink for fountain zen henceforth will be sold at a penny r no ro- p.-.rt does not state whether poets will be charged for parking their Pegasi on the library premises. An Oklahoma man has been ar I rested, charged with conducting six simultaneous love affairs "to bis con siderable financial benefit."

The prohibitionists defeated him for re election. "Political hypocrisy," he said in a recent speech, "is just as demoraliz ing, just as corrupt, and just as wick ed as the corrupt use of money at the polls. It is far to common a thing for a man to make a public speech saying thus and so, and then, private ly, to laugh at what he has said. Aside from the merits ef the question, I will sv that prohibition, in that 'respect, has done infinite harm" But there are many other forms of hypoo I risy of which one henrs but little j these days. Even the political form !has many subdivisions, j All politicians who seek office are supposed to have nothing but the wel- jfare of the people at io art. Most of their speeches before election prove it. Do you ever hear an office-seek-jjon& er say. "l m looking tor a enance torepa;r WQrk is excellently and thor get graft." or "Em just crazy about j oiy done, without unnecessary de- publicty and want to oris.-: in me i limelight 7 or i cant get a ciecene J job in any other line, so I guess I'll ! try politics?" How- many legislators introduce bills for no other purpose thar to improve the government of state or nation? And how many introduce bills ; to further selfish interests, to pay political debts, to secure re-election er to get their names into the news- ! pnpei-sT Most legislators and other public officials are v hat reporters call "publicity hounds." They'd walk a mile to get on the fir-t pasre. But just because our politics are so full of hypocrisy is no reason why we should consider politicians worse than ctlier men. Bless you. no! (There's just as much hopcrity in the field of religion, in l?w, in meilicine, in society, and in every other activity of life. Of all thoe who pretend to believe the Christian doctrine, how many fol low in the footsteps of its Founder? How many lawyers, after taking an oath as officers of the court, will ', thwart the purpose cf the law by go- i ing the limit to defeii ... ! client? i How many doctors Imit frankly th:t they do not know ti e first thing about the case they ar- treating? To enumerate the hypo?risies of society would require' a volume. You have only to think of the number of lios that have been written over the phrn?. "sincerely yours," or the num ber of times tli greeting. "I'm glad to see you " cover a desire to com mit assault and buttery, in order to see what a task it would be. To eradicate hypocrisy from the human soul is going to be long and tedious task.
