PHILOSOPHY FROM THE.FORD WEEKLY "Pretty Soft" the Common Thought When Speaking of Another's Job Shown, in Timely Article. . Nearly every man you meet will give you the impression that he thinks' the other man has an easier job. "Pretty soft for him" is a phrase which ought to be outlawed from every respectable vocabulary. If admitted at all. it should always he under the most careful scrutiny. The danger of it, as a germ of per sonal cMscontent and di.-tress, is that tdie man who use.-, it about another rarely hears it used concerning him self. " Yet. there is not a man in the world, or a class of men. of "whom it has not been said, "pretty s;ift for them!" The shopmen passing the office window see a man sitting at a dek. apparently doing nothing. They are going home at 4::0. lie will b at his desk until six maybe he will ejje bacgk in the evening. The men streaming out of the shops say "pretty soft for him." And the man at the"dek may say. "pretty .oft for them." No douLt both parties could make out a pretty good case before any juiy. The men in the shop have left their work in the shop "pretty sort for them!" They have nothing whatever to do with thfir job until they get. back into the shop next day "pretty soft for them!" If they break a machine, t'.uy are not. re quired to carry it home with them in the evening and lix it "pretty suit for them!" They have nothing whatever to do with making the busi ness meet between the cost of mater ial and labor, the difficulty of ship ments, and all thf rest; all they hav to do is to do their day's work and draw their, pay "pretty soft for then;!" The man in the o!"uo ha-n-i any hours, if he is a responsible man. but that is no occasion to sing "pretty soft for him!" because as a uual thing his hours are too numerous for any schedule. If his work breaks down, he take-; it home with him to f'xe it. He may think he is leaving it in hi desk, but it is in his head---tha' is his "shop", by the way- ami on his pillow. Mi work is not dene in a dy because it isn't a day's work; the next day and Hie next month, with their preparations are always crowding Into today, joggling yesterday and la.t mouth who have also come for tneir reparations. Pretfv soft for hiirt!" The truth is that everybody who is connected .witn a serviceable ness is carrying annul all tne work a man ought to carry, and or.ie art necessarily carrying more. The white collar merely indicates the surround ings in which a man works, not ihe degree to which he works. The same with blue jeans. And monotony you will find mo- notonv wherever voir go. A?k the president of the 1'nited States; hf will tell you something about the ninnotciiy of his job. A-k the doc tor; he will fell you that his life pretty much a round of the same old colds, the same old fevers, people be ing born and people dying in the same old wav. There is a great denl f monotony ir. every profession. which means, overv job. The teach er's job is mot monotonous. The writer just does the same thing over and over again, with the same mo tion of the writ. using the same ft of muscles, as a man on a small job in the shop might do. Life i pretty lurch lh same thing all th-' me. so far as the material plane . i Feeling Fine Now. Hiller Says j Tanlac Has ITo Equal Gains Fifteen Pounds. ' For twenty-five years I never knew what a well day was, bet a vear and a half ago I began taking .Tanlac and have enjoyed splendid : health ever since," was the truly remarkable statement made by Fred ! C Miller, well known contracting I painter and paper hanger, living at 71 S J street, who has been a resident of Lincoln, Nebraska, for forty years. " finally got so weak and dun down that I had to lay of? from my .-. ork for days at a time," said Mr. Miller, "but Tanlac has put me in such good shape that I haven't lost a bit of time since taking it. My ap petite was very poor and what I did manage to eat felt heavy in my stomach and soured, forming gas, which pressed up around my heart, keeping me in misery nearly all the time. I suffered from constipation, having awful headaches and dizzy at tacks, which lasted for hours at a time, and 1 was also troubled with sever pains in my left side. To cap it all, I took the painters' colic, and I just suffered terribly. My nerves became so unstrung that many nights I couldn't sleep a wink, and in the mornings I was so tired out and had such little energy that I could hardly get about. I had to live on soups and other light foods and fell off until I weighed only one hundred and thirty-five pounds, and although I took many different medicines, my coudition was rapidly becoming worse. "I road so many statements prais ing Tanlac that i decided to try it myself and it's lucky for me that I did, for it has put an end to all my .1.1,...

REX YOUNG, Auctioneer. I W. G. BOEDEKER, Clerk. Leavenworth, Kas., Aug. 20 Sam uel T. King. 7 4 years old, a resident of Joplin. Mo., appeared at the Unit ed States disciplinary barracks at Fort Leavenworth and asked that he be locked up as a deserter or else that his civil war record be cleared. Kinir wept while telling his story to Lieut. Colonel Ilosenbaum, assistant com mandant of the prison. Col. Ilosen baum refused to hold the aged veter an and said the natter would be in vestigated. Kin.? had documents to show that he was honorably discharged Febru ary 10, 1S65, on a surgeon's certifi cate of disability issued by the ad jutant general of Missouri. He also showed papers from the bureau of records and pensions in Washington, which stated that he had twice de serted in 1864, being convicted cf desertion by a court-martial between the time of the two alleged offenses. Should King's record be cleared, army officers declared he would be entitled to more than 520,000 in back pension. V. H Baker, wife and daughter, of tor.t Morgan.

Regret over his opponent's announcement that he probably will not make an address at the Ohio state fair, Aug ust '11. was expected today by Gov ernor Cox. "I am very sorry Senator Harding is not going to spea"k." the governor said, "as I already have spent more than an hour preparing my speech, which I hope to deliver from the same platform. I had expected to request that I 1. permitted to speak first, granting the courtesy to the senator of being permitted to answer me." Governor Cox spent today at the xecut iv office in the capitol look ing after rtate affairs. In the even ing he pardoned three convicts from th penitentiary, interviewing each personally lwfon granting clemency. Two convicts, who also had petition ed for pardons, were sent back. "You two boys have not told me iho truth. You will have to go back for awhile." the governor told them. He had asked each man to tell the story of the commission of the crime for which he was convicted and facts lending up to the crime. The democratic candidate will make two addresses tomorrow en route to Canton, where hewill speak in the evening. He will make an address at Orville. whero he will leave the train u go by automobile to tne former city. Governor Cox said today that he is going to investigate circumstances surrounding the laying off of work men in various industries, following receipt of alleged information that republican leaders are planning to use "unemployment" as an argument to persuade workmen to vote against the democratic ticket. The presiden tial nominee said the survey first would be directed at the American woolen company and a "certain rail road system." ENJOYS PLEASANT OCCASION From Thursday's Iall.v.

OF THE SMALL NATIONS; EDDIE EICKEN2ACKER SAFE The course which A One Who Shows No Favor A merciless judge is Father Time. Before him the weak and the want ing go in the wall. Only the truth can stand. For years the following statement from a Plattsmouth resi dent has withstood this sternest of all tests. Theo. Starkjohan, retired farmer. Locust and Ninth streets, Flatts moutli, says: "For several years Doan's Kidney Pills have been used in our family for kidney troubles and backache, and they have proven to be all that is claimed for them. Whenever my back feels a little lame and my kidneys are not acting as they should. I take Doan's Kidney Pills for a few days and they never fail to do me good. Doan's can't be equalled and anyone having kidney trouble should take them for they are very reliable." (Statement, giv en February 23, 1916.) OVKR FOITR YEARS LATER, or on May 12,. 1920, Mr. Starkjohn ad ded: The cure I had from Doan's Kidney Pills several years ago has been a lasting one. It has been a couple of years since I used or had need of a kidney medicine ana my kidneys are now good and healthy. I stili have faith in Doan's and if ever I should need a kidney remedy again. I should certainly use them." 60c at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Hague. Aug. 20. In the of the jurists' conferences have been held here to draw up plans for the organization of an International High Court of Justice, Raoul Fernandez, the Brazilian dele gate, found Elihu Root a supporter in his light for the interests of small nations. At. two different occasions, Mr. Root succeeded in. inducing the con ference to adopt articles which Sen hor Fernandez proposed. The first case was the right of Ihe country which had no judge in the court to name a judge to sit while that country's case was be fore the court. The second case in which Fernan dez and Root closely collaborated was when the latter 's proposal to ex tend the power of supplementary Judges was about to be rejected. -According to the original plan the vacancies caused through the ab sence of judges could only be tilled when at least three judges were ab sent. Mr. Root, however, supported the Fernandez amendment, and the substitute takes the function as soon as one judge is absent. In these two cases the small powers are closely interested. The small powers are to have a majority in the high court, there be ing five judges representing the big powers and six representing the small powers while also the substi tutes belong to the small countries. This majority was endangered by the old plan when In case of two absent judges ,the small powers va cancies would not be tilled and the big powers would have a majority of five to four. Columbus.
