But, let us "see ourselves as others see us." The Cal- vinistic Council of Geneva with Cal vin as prosecutor condemned Ser vetus to the flames. The Protestants Melanchthon and Bucer applauded the act; Calvin wrote to Lord Som erset, Protector of England, "to de stroy with sword the hated, sect of Gospellers." ,The.

Dakota. The republican state central committee ol that solidly republican state refused, by the crushing vote of 19 to 9,' -to Indorse the candidacy of Mr. Hoover. The ground !givert for this action; was that Hoover was Va servant of. the big interests and cared nothing for the farmers," as evidenced by his:-record of eight years in the cjibinet.- " As a result of; the vote, 'the party in the state "has "split into two fac tions, with the "indepi ndens" sup- porting Hoover ; and he 'majority maintaining silence as la whom they will support.' I ,. , , North Dakota's hosiility to any opinion, candidate Who is; in its tainted with "the support of Eastern bankers, is not' difficult to under stand. Several years s,go the farm ers of the state, acting through the old Nonpartisan League, without waiting for relief iron the outside, 3et out to relieve themselves. They took possession of the State govern ment, and entered upci a program which included the esublishment of a bank and the constuction of ele vators, warehouses an 1 flour mills. rThey purposed to free xiemselves and their -crop ininl.eZ bankers, the millers aid the elevator owners. State bonds were Is led to pay for these ; improvements. .Vhat was the result? Banks and, inv sstment houses throughout the count y refused to handle them. They CM this, as one of them frankly . admitted at the time, not because ther; was anything but because wrong with the tone the project, if .successful, would in terfere with the bunkffs' immemorial rakeoff.

The chemist, not the silkworm, is to be credited with a large portion of the feminine flu,ffy-fluffles, as well as many other things dear to the hearts of the frequently fair sex. That scent of attar of )ses that enthralls the sense did not come from a blossom. The pearls about her throat never were in close prox imity to an oyster, unless their wear er eats them. Not. a drop of rea fruit juice is in many of the "fruit juice" drinks ishe consumes. And as for gin let's talk about the elec tlous in Albania. This is a synthetic age, and Am erica leads all the world in the con coction of things that belle their names. Factories are rapidly sup planting nature in the manufacture of many things that man needs or thinks he needs. It now is: possible to serve a synthetic meal almost from, soup to nuts.
