Some men go to a barber shop to
get a haircut or shave, but others
to give the barber an opportunity
to go through a course of physical,
exercise.

Probably the people who are ac
cused of extravagant spending are
throwing their money away in the
hope that it will go farther.

These new tango dances bring out
funny sights, one of them being a
man with a pair of globe-trotting
feet flitting around a waxed floor
in dancing pumps.
:o:
Cheer up! We may soon find out
who started the war. The German
government has appointed a com-
mitteo to find out; and you know
how thorough those Germans are. j

We iire not going to complain i
about the wickedness of women as
long as we are so ornery ourself. It
would not be consistent, and. furth
ermore, they are not wicked to any t
alarming extent.
:o:
Some inquirer has discovered why
meals cost so much in the big ho
tels. The patrons are expected to
pay for all the food the hired help
at. The moral seems to be, pat
ronize serve-self restaurants.
READ THE TREATY.

IJoth the easterner who never
goes west and the westerner who
never goes east become provincial,
with more or less strabismus of the

George Rcrnarcl Shaw says that
the thinking public number less
than 50,000. If each man would
tell what he thinks of George Bern
ard Shaw, that individual would
find that he had greatly underesti
mated the figures.
:o:
Seems like the bible overlooked a
let. It tells us to turn the other
cheek when smitten, but don't say
anything about our smiting the otti
er fellow on his cheek, so he can
turn the other. Seems sort of oue
sided, like a jug handle.
:o:
The only difference of opinion be
tween the capitalists and the peo
ple is that the latter think big busi
ness should be managed in the in
terest of the public, while the mil
lionaire thinks the public should bo
managed for and by big business.

The sparerib of these days of
high price pork is spare, Jdeed, and

that it could ever have been the

And now another statesman bobs
up and wants all athletics abolish

ferocious like checkers .for the

In President Wilson's speaking
tour in behalf of the peace treaty
there is one piece of advice he gives
continually, of whose soundness
there can lie no question. It is
this: "Head the treaty for yourself."
There may be something in the
president's complaint that the long
debate over the treaty with Ger
many and the league of nations
covenant which forms a part of it
has obscured, rather than clarified,
the real issues. Friends of the
treaty in the senate have, in gen
eral, given one set of views about
it. Enemies of the treaty have giv
en another. Now along comes the
president, and gives still another. It
is all rather confusing.
These various views differ not
merely with regard to the interpre
tation of certain debatable clauses
but also with the general meaning
of the treaty as a whole. They are
largely differences of perspective.
The president emphasizes things in
the treaty which have been mostly
ignored in the senate debates and
in newspaper comment. Every little
while he or some other controversial
ist brings out something in the
treaty which the majority of citizens
have never known was in it.
There is only one way for an in
telligent citizen to get his bearings
and set himself straight on the
question, or even to make himself
a competent judge of current argu
ment for and against it. That is to
read the treaty.
Anyone can get a copy by writ
ing to one of the senators at Wash
ington, or by applying direct to the
government printing office.
be met with abuse or ridicule on
the part of many disinterested
thinkers, and with determined oppo
sition ou the part of most of the
business interests concerned. It
might as well be recognized, how
ever, that present tendencies are in
this direction, and anyone who can
read the signs of the times will
hardly venture to pronounce the
plan absurd or impossible. It rep
resents merely the completion of a
process already begun, the carrying
to its logical conclusion of a prin
ciple of fair play which is steadily
winning wider recognition.
It may not be necessary- to carry
the regulation of business so far as
this. Possibly competition, the old
safety-valve of trade, can be revivi
fied and made to function properly
once more. But if that fails, there
may not be anything inherently un
just or unwise in such a plan of
putting an end to profiteering by
the forced publicity or profits all
along the line, even if accompanied
by a limitation of profit percentages
on some scientific basis. There
could still be left to the producer,
middleman or merchant a wide
range of profit possibilities. Indi
vidual talent and enterprise need
not be checked. EHiciont manage
ment, rapid turn-over of goods, etc..
surely offer as much opportunity for
business growth and prosperity as
do extortionate profits taken from a
resentful public.

McDANIEL FAMILY DOING WELL
-:o:-
R0MAN CANDLES AND BIRDS.
It is a far cry from slaughtering
passenger pigeons by the thousand,
with nets and shotguns, to driving
a host of noisy birds from the town
with a harmless fire of Roman
candles, but that is what the towns
people of Montcl: X. J., have
done.
The big purple grackles and the
chattering starlings were roosting
lry the thousand in the trees of
Montclair planning their flight to
the south, discussing routes, rates
and government operation of air
lines, early in the morning and. late
into the night until the townspeople
actually suffered from lack of sleep.
Once before when the citizens
were similarly troubled, shooting
the birds was resorted to. but bird
lovers all over the country raised
such a storm of protest that it was
decided to try gentler methods this
year. Under the direction of the
town forester an army of citizens
advanced upon the foe, armed with
Roman candles. At a given signal
the candles were discharged at the
unsuspecting foe. Outraged, the
birds flew- from their roosts protest
ing so loudly that it drowned out
the explosion of the fireworks. They
flew about for awhile awaiting for
the enemy to cease firing, but, be
ing Tank, he did not cease. Dis
couraged, they sought roosts remote
from this" new terror. If they seek
to return to the town the attack
will be repeated, until they learn
to roost in other quarters perma
nently. :o:

Tanlac Ends Ten Years Rheumatism
For Farmer Clark Cains
18 Pounds.
"There; that's the stuff that set
my stomach and kidneys right and
drove the rheumatism out of my
arms and legs after I had- suffered
torture for over ten years," said L.
11. Clark, a well known farmer of
Brinifield, Illinois, as he pointed to
I lie Tanlac display in the SutlitT &
Case store at Peoria, recently.
"My neighbors will tell you," he
continued, "just any time you ask
them, that they never saw a man
come cut like I have. Why, I have
gained eighteen pounds in weight
and can do more work than at any
time in ten years. Before I started
on Tanlac' my stomach just seemed
to be almost completely played out.
Every bite I would eat would get
as sour as vinegar and pretty soon
gas would form and cause such
awful cramping pains that I could
hardly stand it. Then I would get
so dizzy that everything seemed to
be whirling around. The minute I
would lie down at night and close
my eyes everything seemed to start
turning over. I finally got so I
couldn't eat much of anything and
I was so run down and weak that I
couldn't work regular. I always
ir anaged to drag around and do the
little work about the barn until my
kidneys got out of order and I got
Cue rheumatism, and then I was
laid up for weeks at a time. I've
seen the time when I couldn't have
walked from the house to the barn
to save the best horse I'v got, I was
so crippled up with rheumatism. My
legs were swollen up to twice their
natural size- and I couldn't take a
step without just suffering like
'blue blazes.'
"My back was in such a bad
shape with rheumatism that if I
stooped over to pick up anything I
would just see stars, ami there
were weeks at a time when I had to
be perfectly quiet. I could hardly
dress myself and went down so fast
that no one thought I would ever
be well again. Well, I was just
about ready to give up the fight
when I at last ran across this Tan
lac. After I commenced taking this
medicine I soon started gaining
ground and it wasn't long until I
was well on the road to recovery. I
found that it was just what I need
ed and I never allowed myself to
miss a dose. Well, the results are
that I am now perfectly sound and
well and know what good health is
for the first time in ten years. 1
an eat just anything and my stom
ach feels just like a new one. My
kidneys don't bother me any more
and I never feel a sign of rheuma
tism, and I sleep so sound that the
horses might kick the barn down and
I don't believe I would hear them.
Yes. sir, it's Tanlac and nothing
else that put me on my feet and I
ippreciate it enough to tell the
world what I think about it."
