I saw an advertisement in tne paper

it would help me, but I was afraid to
try it because people said it would help
you to have children and I knew I was

From the Boston Transcript.
From Cleveland, v. hieh Is In tho
state or commonw ath of Ohio,
comes a proposal whi h will probably
rock the nation to Its base. That is,
the proposal was made In Cleveland,
but the maker was Dr. IdUu Hunt

that convention allowed us to speak
of her as Dr. Lou) would tax all fat
persons. Had she her way, Daniel
Lambert would pay a surtax and
sweets would only be eaten with
midnight stealth; nobody save the
very rich would dare a second help
ing of anything and out-sizes would
be treasonable offenses.
What are the rea ons given for
this proposal by Dr. Peters? In the
first place, she lays It down that fat
persons are a liability to the country
and should pay for the trouble they
make. There Is much to commend
In this, though constitutional law
must first be regarded. The rights of
fat persons (male and female) are
secured by organic rules not lightly

RELIGION AND WAR
Norman Hapgood.
Will religion ever be any more
effective against war than it was
in 1914? If it is to play any con
siderable role in future history, /t
must have something to do with
progress. There are before the
race two large problems, to solv
ing which it should be able to
contribute. But will it? One is
the new form of the oWl story of
the ordinary worker and the
strong ruler. In our day it is the
problem of the relation between
money and the laborer. The other
problem is war, which with
modern invention threatens to
make progress impossible.
sits on you inadvertently, Runny
mede is apt to be forgotten. Getting
down to dots. Dr. Peters avers that
fat persons take up more room than
the law allows in trolley cars, but
she forgets that apparently the law
allows no room in trolley cars,
which is a fatal defect in her thesis.
Besides, whom does she mean by
“persons?” This term is at once
ambiguous and sinister, for we are
assured by competent authority that
when one lady calls another lady a
"person” there is rough stuff abroad.
Let us seek the ways of peace and
opine that she means men dowered
with obesity.
TODAY
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE
Yesterday, in southern California,
was the. finest day you ever saw, or
Imagined, in California, or anywhere.
The long Santa Fe train, bringing
“more converts” rolled noiselessly
down the grade, from the high plat
eau on the west, in‘o such beauty of
sunshine, warmth and flowers, as
made the whole thing seem unreal.
What was the most interesting,
pleasing thing you saw, in wonder
ful California, on the day of ar
rival?
It was not the golden orange
groves, or the pleasant square miles
of grape vines, pruned and ready for
next summer's production.
It was not the mighty Pacific, in
which you could drown, bury and lose
the United States, with only one big
wave to tell the story. And it was
not the high range of mountains, with
their snowy heads, looking down, so
near, reminding the traveller that in
some parts of the world, it really is
cold winter.
The moat pleasing sight in Cali
fornia was a young couple on the
station platform at San Bernardino,
the sunny ante room to 1’asadena and
Los Angeles.
The young man, tall and nervous,
was on the platform of his Vull
man car, 20 minutes before the sta
tion came in sight. No one ever left
a burning house more eagerly than
he left that train.
The young woman, waiting, was
dressed In her best, pink silk stock
ings, new' dress und hat, and such a
smile of welcome, for that fortunate
young traveller.
Her first words, before he reached
her, were:
‘‘I knew you couldn’t wait to see
her, so I brought her down.”
And sure enough, “her” was there.
In her mother's arms, a little baby,
about 6 weeks old, with a fine sun
bonnet, scalloped around the edges,
white kid shoes, a Xgncy dress and a
far away look.
Here, where the sky says, all year
round, "come and forget your
♦ roubles,” or In the coldest north,
there Is happiness, warmth and eter
nal sunshine, wherever there is
true devotion.
Come to California If you can, and
see a part of Eden that escaped fatal
An Object Lesson.
From the Edinburgh Scotsman.
A clergyman was having tea with
some new iiartshloners. On the side
board were some cut glass decanters
filled with what looked like whisky and
various other spirits.
' My friend,” said the-curate to his
host, "you should .avoid even the ap
pearance of evil. I do not say that you
drink, but—”
"Why, they're only filled with furni
ture polish, Mr. Mxrsh, and floor slain.
It's the decanters that X like—they look
so pretty.”
"Exactly," said the curate. “I repeat,
avoid even the appearance of evil, i
took a drink from the big one in the
SiiddX*.”
curse.
But thank the Lord that. In spite
of the serpent, the apple and the fall,
there is real Heaven . here below,
wherever you find the blessed earth
ly Trinity, a perfectly united mother,
child and father.
That Heaven was in the young
mother's face, when the father said,
"I think she smiled.”
There is beautiful sunshine in Cali
fornia, but it is not as beautiful as
the light in that young mother’s face,
as she looked up from the face of
her child, to the child’s father. That
is the sunshine that makes life
worth while for human beings every
where, if they are worth while.
California is Interested in the
earthquake “back east” that shook
New York, reaching up and down the
Atlantic coast, and as far east as
Michigan. This time the slip of the
earth’s crust is in the Atlantic in
stead of the Pacific.
Despite constant eastern exaggera
tion of western earthquakes, native
sons out here do not laugh, when
they meet. They Just say "too bad,”
and look as serious as they possibly
can.
The death of President Ebert will
establish more firmly the German re
public. Germans know now that an
earnest intelligent workman, with
his fellow' workers back of him can
manage the nation.
They know that a sabre waving
all highest, in partnership with God,
is not necessary to national business.
Thanks to Ebert, to the highly in
telligent and scientifically trained
German specialists, and the mil
lions of German workers, educated
for 40 years, in the Boclal democratic
party, the Germans have the power
of self-government.
Their administration has stood
firm, eve*- since the wrar, under most
horribly tiying conditions. That is
the greatest possible tribute to the
eelf governing power of the Gor
mans. And Ebert will be honored in
history, as the loyal servant of Ger
man democracy.
Be among the first to get one of
the monoplanes that will “fly 140
miles an hour, and carry a useful
load of 2,000 pounds."
Such a machine, once he knows
how' to run It. should enable a young
man, of the right kind, to earn $100
a day. And that sum, $600 a week,
would be a "useful load" to carry
home, each Saturday.
Secretary Weeks tells the con
gressional committee that he holds
no grudge against Brigadier General
Mitchell, for telling the truth and
that he has no thought of discip
lining General Mitchell. That Is
welcome. The people would like to
think that the truth Is not kept
from them by official threats.
Automobile Lawlessness.
From the Manchester Union.
One of our New Hampshire town#
wanted to discharge Its policeman
because nn automobile guidebook
blacklisted the town. Why? For ab
solutely no other reason whatever
than that the policeman enforced tha
parking rules, let no one. multi-mil
lionaire of the local summer colony
or the poorest owner of a broken
down flivver, stay at the curb longer
than the legal time. Visitors In th#
country are sore not because they
are subject to undue discrimination
In the matter of enforcement of
traffic laws, but because they are not
permitted to break them as their
sweet will runs. And there Is a dis
position In the country towns to let
them do It In order that they may not
pass the word, as Is constantly dona,
to "cut out" that town and so causa
business to suffer.
Not His Fault.
From Forbes Magalne.
"Wliat does this mean, sir?" said
the boss to his clerk, coining in 30
minutes late.
"It was on account of the awful
fog." explained the culprit.
"Fog! Fog!" said the boss, testily.
“What has the fog to do wlthlt? \oU
do not live across the bay."
"No. sir, I know I don't, but you do,
and 1 thought you'd be late."
To eliminate the burden of carrying
a heavy and unwleldly bagful of golf
clubs, F. K. Ganders or Walla Walla,
Wash., has invented a universal golf
club, says Popular Science Monthly.

Tragedy
The smaller daughter of a certain

Rooster Could Count
A class In experimental psychology
at the University of Chicago has
found that n rooster can count. Ker
nels of corn were arranged in rows on
the floor, every third kernel being
tacked down. Tl»e rooster discovered
this and passed np the stationary
kernels. Then the third kernels were
loosened and the rooster was set at
his task. He skipped them until his
foot struck one, when, with a chuckle,
he returned and ate all the kernels.
