AFRAID SHE COULD HPT LIVE Operation Advised. But Lydia E, rinkhams Vegetable Compound Made ItUnnecessary Glasgow, Kentucky. — “ I was run town, nervous, with no appetite. My side bad given me trouble for five or six years. At timtfa it was all I could do to live, and the doc tor said I couldn’t live but a short time longer without an operation. That was two years ago. My sister-in-law recom mended Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegeta ble Compound. She bad never used it herself* but she said one of her neighbors suffered just like I did, and it cfired her. After I had taken four bottles the pain left my side. I had a fine appetite to eat anything that was put before me, and I began to do all mv work and my washing, some* thing 1 hadn’t done for years. 1 am a dressmaker, and this last fall I began suffering with my side again, so I began taking the Vegetable Compound again. I am on my fourth bottle, which makes eight in all I have taken. I feel so much better when I take it and everybody tells me I look better. My appetite -improves and I feel stronger in every way. I am a very nervous woman and it seems to help my nerves so much.”— Mrs. Maggie Waller, Glasgow, Ky.

RICHARDS Grand Fork*, North Dakota SCIENCE Xfco FAITH. Luis H. DeBayls I feel, therefore I believe. I think, therefore I have a right to believe. If, in order to believe and love, it were necessary to know the definitive truth of science, it would be necessary to suppress the heart. Science tends to a synthetic, luminous and marvelous finality Of truth . that is still very far from us and from our present judgment. To subordinate to it our faith and our love would be • not to live the life of the soul. It is a grave error to seek to deduce morality from science. Morality is based on sentiment and conscience. All the scientific progress achieved throughout the ages has not altered in the slight- * est degree its fundamental laws. What is goodness in the eyes of philosophy and science? I know not; and I know not, either, whether the schools and the sciences of today, yesterday and tomorrow will be in accord in their definition; but I do know that my conscience defines it for me with a definiteness that satis fies me and convinces my heart; and I know that I love and desire to do right. In my study, I have passed through two principal periods in respect of briefs: at the begin ning, conviction of knowledge and unbelief; later, the consciousness of our slight science and accept ance of the unexplained. In the essence of all unbelief may be found a superstition. TODAY BY ARTHUR BRISBANE. The Dawes plan will have Its trla. and the world will see what happens. Germany gets Jour years to prepare big reparation payments expected to amount to $650,000,000 annually. We thought It pretty big when we built the Panama Canal in several years. Germany will pay those that conquered her, enough to build three Panama Canals every year, If this plan goes through. First, the other countries will lend money to Germany, $200,000,000 to begin with, Germany will mortgage her railroads for two and a half bil lion dollars, her Industries for one billion and a quarter. Those mort gages as bonds will be sold to the out side world as fast as may be. The French, although that wasn’t in the original Dawes plan, will evacuate the Ruhr within a year. The French will have to pay the cost of occupa tion until they get out. It lookg like a good program, for the allies, at least. If France and Belgium get the bulk of $650,000,000 every year they should be happy financially. How Germany will feel and act when the time comes to be gin annual payments remains to be seen. That will depend on how strong Germany feels. A debtor, sick, will sign anything. Next Saturday at nightfall look In the southeasfern sky for our red neighbor, the planet Mars. Tou will never have as good a look again un less Mars should prove to be one of the ‘‘many mansions’’ to which you will move after death. On Satur day Mara will come within 24,610,000 miles of our earth nearer than at anytime within 200 years. This means much to scientists eagerly awaiting the event. We shall get np definite Information as to Mars’ Inhabitants, whether they are mere microbes living in a thin at mosphere, or supermen, waiting for this planet to grow up and stop fighting, that they may teach us all they have learned In the tens of mil lions of years by which their age ex ceeds ours. The close approach of Mars may mean a great deal on the next near est approach. When that day comes, newspapers may carry headlines about the "hop off” of some elder - lal flying man, waiting In his travel ing shell to be projected through the ether, thirty four or five million miles, by power locked up in the atom. That Isn’t probable but It isn't Im possible. Sufficient strength would shoot a projectile with a man Inside beyond the reach of this earth's power of attraction. After that, with the moon out of the way It would be clear sai lng all the way. The travelling scientist would simply fall onto Mars unless picked up and for ever held by some small dark baby planet travelling In space. The Society for (Be Prevention of Cruelty to Animals gives a medal to the widow. Effie M. Beal. On It is written, "Awarded to Effie M. Beal for her extraordinary acts of mother ly devotion.” In ten guesses you won’t guess how Mrs. Beal won the medal. Her husband, a New England lum berjack, found a new born baby bear. He ahot the baby’e mother, to get the hid* and the bounty, brought home the tiny bear found between tht mother's paw*, Its ey*» not yet opened. Mrs. Bssl, nursed that bear, not muoB Bigger than a kitten, and nurs ed her Infant at the same time, one on one side and one on the other. Its interesting—a sort of Romulus and Remue. upside down. The cruelty to animals society would bo bankrupt If It gave gold medals to all mothara that take care, not of bear babies, but of other women’s babies in addition to their own. Perhaps the angel Gabriel In his bookkeeping will provide gold meadows for mothers that, have nursed the children of other women. Another remarkable woman Is Mrs. Herbert Sheets of Salem coun ty, N. J. She has used the same “cook store” tor «1 years, and It la yet clean and ahiny, .although she has cooked 67,000 meals on it.

Woman Played Big Role in Loeb’s Ufa . • 4 •: f ■ r" ■» f ? ? . < • ;'N ’ “Angel Faced Dickie" Loeb, one of the youthful slayers who kidnaped Robert Franks in Chicago, told the defense alienists who examined him that his first nurse, Miss Ann Struthers, now1 Mrs. Bishop, of Boston, played a big role in his life. Mrs. Bishop, pictured here with “Dickie” when he was a mere child, was strict with him, the boy said, and he learned early in life to lie to her to avoid punishment. She did much to push him forward in his studies, and his youthful pre cociousness may have been due to her rapid advancement of him In his studies. % TODAY - ' f BY ARTHUR BRISBANE Thirteen words from the Coolldge speech, If they had been In a La Follette speech, Would have been called "socialism" by the prosperous. Talking of those that pay large Income taxes Coolldge said "They can take carv of themselves, what ever happens, as the rich always can." A president, writing a long mes sage, should hire a good copy reader, like Clarke of the old "Sun," or Walter Howey of New York’s Dally Mirror, and get him to cut gway everything but 400 words for the radio. That would be a real campaign document Some are ama.rd because Presi dent Coolldge'a speech dona not once mention the name of Harding. But that means little. W. W. Harper of 114 North Hope street, Los Angelas, says that the word "iihmortal” appears In ‘he Bible only once, 17th verse, first chapter of First Timothy. Yet the whole Importance of the Bible is ia ths word “Immortal.” Mr. Hilles tells the president that New York will be republican. If he were completely informed on the after effects of the democratic con vention in New York City he would do more than tell the president. He would bet on It. The city of New York will turn In a presidential vote thle fall that will surprise its oldest Inhabitants. ■.- * Lieutenant Donald Phillips flew 1,300 miles fiom Texas to Ohio. You may say “that's nothing, everybody does it.” But notice the size of tils flying machine called “Alouette”— spread of wings 13 feet, total weight, Including motor, 480 pounds. That machine does 20 miles on a gallon of gas, goes 105 miles an hour, and could take a travelling man from New York to Chicago in 9 hours, across the continent in 30 hours. “Aloustte” could be stored on an “upper shelf of a garage, the earth car below, flying car above. Next width will be cut from the wlnge, weight taken from the en gine, speed more than doubled. And the individual transportation prob lem will be solved. What does the public think of expert testimony, alienists, psehyia trlsts, contemplating the Loeb-Leo pold trial? “Scientific authorities* paid by the parent* of the young murder ers. dedare those youths irrespon sible, abnormal, victims of defective endocrine development. “Experts” hired by the etate, de clare the young murderers sane, re sponsible for their sets, not abnor mal except as all murderers are abnormal. What dees “expert testimony” amount to after this sort of an ex hibition? Is there no better method of settling criminal casee? The First Baptist church In Nia gara Falls was blown up by a bomb oarly Thursday morning. The cler gyman had annoyed somebody by attacking vice and violation of the prohibition laws.

I _ ▲ report just Issued by the Massachu setts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, states that In Ul(. before prohibition, alcohol was a factor In 47.7 per cent, of all cases.

"Get my bag at once!" he shouted. “Why, what Is the matter?” inquired his wife. “Some fetlow has just telephoned he can't live without me, gasped the medi cal man as he reached for his hat. His wife gave a sigh of relief. “Just a moment,” she said gently. ”1 think that call was for our daughter, dear.” It is said that prehtbltion lias elim inated every saloon in the financial dis trict Of Bow York.

BROUGHT HOME FROM MEXICO ON STRETCHER But Mrs. Herman It Now in Good Health, Thanks to Tanlac. A few years ago Mrs. M. K. Her man, 215 Hltchlngs St., San Antonio, Texas, “returned to the states from Monterey, Mexico,” she says, “In such a low state of health that she had to be carried to her home on a Btretcher.” As time went on and she still lin gered In the^throes of "Nerve exhaus tion, "’stomach disorders and bodily weakness,” she determined, "on the advice of her druggist,” to try Tanlac, which she declares "brought back my health and strength alter I had almost despaired of ever getting well.” The results of Tanlac In the case of Mrs. Herman, while Indeed remark able, are by no means unusual for Tanlac, as many hundreds of people everywhere have testified to having taken the famous medicine with no less wonderful results. "I returned from Mexico,” said Mrs. Herman, “so thin and weak that I feared my life was going to be cut short. I could neither eat or sleep ini a natural way and It seemed at times that heart palpitation- and nerve ex haustion would take me away. "The makers of Tanlac will always have my heartfelt thanks, for It is to Tanlac that I attribute my recovery and present good health. Tanlac Is like a blessing from, heaven to me, that is the way I think about It.” Tablac is for sale by all good drug gists. Accept no' substitute. Oyer 40 Million bottles sold.

Why He Enjoyed It "Sir,” said the young man with en thusiasm, as he seized the lecturer’s hand and shook It warmly, “I certain ly enjoyed your lecture last night very much Indeed.” "I am glad to hear that," said the lecturer, “but I didn’t see you there.” "No,” admitted the youth, "I wasn’t there.” “But,” said the puzzled speaker, “how could you enjoy my lecture If you were not there?” “Oh, I bought tickets for my girl’s parents and they both went.” If one Is placed In the role of grand father, he hopes to be grandfuther of six.
