He will prove true, in any place you put him. :o: Of course it was a milliner who said that a well dressed woman should have a new bat every month. No mere man could have thought of that. :o: The remarkable thing about auio moblling is not .the nunVber of miles you can cot to the gallon, but the amtmntgf d;iiIyo.u. can swallowper mile. :o: The sturdy old fashioned parents who "would rather see his son dead than tee him -become a drunkard" is getting his preference these boot leg days. :o: Any doctor will tell you the danger of "letting a bad cold hang on," but it isn't every doctor who can tell you how to keep from letting it hang on. :o: The only thing we like about let tuce is not having to blow on it to cool it. o:o Some modern girls are so slim you would think they eat as little as they wear. :: The democrats are very quiet about candidates in Nebraska.

After he had got the car MATHEW GERLNO In the death of Mathew Gering, the state of Nebraska loses one of its most successful and noted attor neys, and Plattsmouth and Cass NO ONE KNOWS county one of its best citizens a gentleman and scholar. The writer has known the lamented "Mat" Ger ing for 'the past twenty yars and during that time always considered him one of our 'best friends. He could compete with any man as an orator and with any lawyer In the court room. Always genial In his1 office and with all whom he met without. That he will be sadly missed by all our people, goes without saying. The de ceased possesed some peculiarities, but what man in the annuls of ihris- tory does not. At times he was quite sentimental in his conversation an withal he was always a man among men. He could numfber his friends by the thousands, not all in Nebraska Tjut In many other states. Platts mouth people were proud of this no ble manhood but what community would not be of a man of Mathew Gering's ability. We could write pages in reference to this great mind but it does not seem necessary a this time, but later. We deeply sym pathize with his only brother, Henry H. Gering, and his three sisters, who deeply mourn the death of their brother. Peace be to his ashes, for the memories 'he leaves behind will t)e cherished by all his old friends There may be those who can fill the place of this illustrious personage but we seriously doubt It. :o': LOST THRILLS You'd think a man who ridiculed wire communication fifty years ago would have great faith in the wire less nowadays, but such is not al ways the case. :o: Here is something for our law makers to chew, upon: For each year added to the course of study in the public schools the nation's produc tivity is shoved up ten billion dol lars. It is obvious therefore, that who would seek to cut one penny frcm the common school fund is guilty of a sacrilege. "It don't take a man long to bag his pants at the knees, and to make a finely tailored suit look thoroughly disrepu table that's the man of it," avers Dainty Dorthy. nut she goes on 10 explain, that the man who is making use of our cleaning, steaming and pressing services is keep ing his clothes in much more presentable condition . than when he got acquainted with us. And it doesn't cost much, either. Goods Called for and Delivered - A H j - Ibb H S3 c JOURNAL OFFICE ways bragged about the home brand of climate. Now they brag about the home price of hootch. :o: About the only thing attractive about the raw vegetable diet now urged by many knowing ones, is that there is no danger of burning one's mouth at the first bite. : :o: Nothing is impossible, tout it strikes us that the average boy is going to have a hard time learning to like liquor if he is forced to prac tice on the moonshine variety. :o: "What are the two moat import ant advances made in home build ing in the last five years?" asks a reporter. Well, at a rough guess, -we should say the iprice of labor and ma terial. :o: The business man who gets dis couraged nowadays is using bad judgment. Better days are dawning for all forms of trade and industry. This is the time of all time to keep a stiff upper lip. r :o: Dr. Fitzsimmons, who x held a position in the Philippines for the past eight years has returned to his home in Tecumseh. And some of the papers down that way are proposing him for congress. :o: Only a few weeks ago Germany was insisting that she could not make a large reparation payment, yet she succeeded in doing so. Hav ing to do a thing generally results in it being done. :o: The proposal to add another month to the year probably will net arouse much enthusiasm. The extra month could only go to the coal man or the ice man, and either way It would leave the public. :o: The Bargain sate yesterday was as usual, very successful and up to the standard.

She is a great favorite with many of our people. :o: The movie folks imagine that they have been picked upon to car ry the blame for all modern human ity's depravity, but they are mistak en. They are expected to bear the blame for only half of it. The Jazz producers will carry the other halt That the tax iayers are going to Lave a big say in the election this fall, and the candidate for governor that gets there niu6t be an able and thorough busine? man Irrespective of politics.

Lizzie's toll was a chicken, a cat and a dog. :o: J. A. Capwell, the bright young attorney of Elmwood, while in the eity this week, gave the Journal sanctom a call for a short time. Mr. Capwell is a candidate for county attorney, and if elected .he will prove abundantly able to hold down the position. :o: The republican candidates can't get their filings for state offices in to Lincoln fast nough hardly. They must think the republicans have a cure thing "in carrying the state. But it is always best not to count the chickens before they are hatch ed. :o: Mary Miles -Minter, the movie ac tress who had a look of frozen hor ror on her face, when told of the murder of Director Taylor. But "fro ten horror" comes to many little in nocent girls when told of the death of man or woman who has so often befriended them. Miss Minter will appear on the screen at the Parmele next Sunday afternoon and night. But don't call her "little girl" any more for she Is 21 years old and won't stand for the "little girl" racket, not a little bit. :o: After viewing the many foolish things that have been done by the present legislature, it certainly be hooves the people of Nebraska to se lect members of the next legislature composed of men who know what is needed in the way of laws men who are independent in mind and inclination. Some people think the more bills that are passed the bet ter the legislature. But any wise person knows that twenty-five bills that hit cases needed are worth two hundred harrum-scarum bills that are useless on the statute books. Men of good sound Judgment should be elected. The people have been too careless in the matter of selecting members of the house and senate and then curse them afterward. Good and true men will not be guided by other members right or wrong. They sure ought to have Judgment of their own as to what is best for the constituents.

' : Nebraska Why do people drink liquor? An swer: To get the thrills of intoxica tion. No further proof is needed that alcohol is twin brother to opium and other drugs. Prohibition problem doesn't stop with the mere taking away of liquor Inebriates of the present genera tion will not shake the craving for liquor out of their minds and bodies until they discover thrills that are substituted for whiskey and wines The next generation or .the one that follows won't know the taste of "the stuff." It will have no mem ories of lost liquor thrills, craving for a substitute. , A peculiar mystery of whiskey is how one drinker can lap up a pint without showing real intoxication while another drinker is "put under the table" by one or two drinks. It's a mystery easily solved: Some temperaments and bodies are born a certain number of drinks below normal. Get those drinks in them and ithey rise to par. Doctors and chemists have a big Job ahead of them learning to rem edy the bodies or egos that are be low normal. What such people really need Is not stimulants from a bottle. They need corrective diet, lots of fresh air, outdoor exercise and healthy thots. The, drinker is committing slow suicide. Chronic alcoholism is a form of insanity. But you can't make the average drinker realize it. Take a person born, as some med ical men express it, "so many drinks below normal." This lis inherited al coholic cravings handed down from many generations of hard drinkers. A father with more or less of his ancestors alcoholic craving in his blood gratifies his craving. Liquor feeds on "itself. Soon it takes two drinks to do the works of one, then three so on, un til hardened drunkards think noth ing of "killing a whole quart." All this is inherited by the son. You've often heard the express Ion, "Drinking runs in their 'fam ily." After a few generations of prohi bition, with alcohol Increasingly difficult to get, there'll come a gen eration without any craving for li quor. That generation will be normally healthy and happy, in body, mind and spirit. Prohibition will be easy to enforce then. :o: ' There are a greut many men who see mto be throwing everything in . the way of congress granting the bo- i nus to world war soldier boys.- And why? The opposition comes from that class of manufacturers who are fearful they may have to pay a few cents imore in taxes and those who were too eowardlv to go with the brave boys across the ocean. :o: They Appeal to Our Sympathies - The bilious and dyspepsic are con stant sufferers and appeal to our sym pathies. Many such, however, have been completely restored to health by the use of Chamberlain's Tablets. These tablets st rengthen the stom ach. Invigorate the liver and improve the digestion. They also . cause a gentle movement of the bowels. When yon havev any trouble with your stomach, give them a trial. Weyrich & Hadraba. At the North Pole the thermome ter never drops lower than 60 de grees below zero. Frequently it gets that cold in our northwestern states and southern Canada. Havre, Mont., once registered 6S below zero, the coldest ever record ed in the United States. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Arctic ex plorer, who 'has spoken in several of the large cities, makes the compari son, in his lectures exploding popu lar beliefs about the supposed frigid ity of the far north. In northern Alaska and Canada along the shores of the Arctic ocean the snowfall is so light that df you scattered 100 walnuts on the ground in the autumn you'd be alble to count 90 of them, sticking out of the snow at any time during the winter. The record snowfall in the United States was nearly 74 feet. This oc curred 15 years ago at Tamarack in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. in tne Klondike gold rush, more prospectors died of summer sun stroke in Dawson than perished of winter cold. Stefansson thinks that W 1970 Americans will be eating 50,000, uuu pounds 01 reindeer meat a year shipped from the farth north. Cen tral Alacka soon will be growing all the -wheat it needs. Stefansson believes the Arctic Circle is a coming country. He says it Is possible for a tramp to hobo his way to the North Pole and back, car rying only a harpoon, using meat for food and seal fat for fuel. Stafansson's theory is that popu lar fallacies about the far north be- ong a solid iceberg, are part or the false knowledge inherited from the ancient Greeks. These fallacies have boen handed down to us by a chain of textbook writers who rewrote the "old stuff," posing as authorities on the far north though they never were there to check up. How much of our supposed know ledge in other fields is really misin formation inherited from the ignor ance of long ago? When father went to school, he was taught that parallel lines uo meet. Transmutation of metals was uni versally accepted as impossible a few years ago. Now scientists say they'll soon be turning lead into , though the cost nia.y be pro hibitive. Man used to be imprisoned for saying that the' earth was round not flat. Modern men, no matter how improbable a suggestion may be. says, 1 m open to conviction. Let s see your facts." Truth comes as men's prejudice against new ideas dies. :o: 1 9 rter Million Words Up Its Sleeve MM The symbol of perfect writ ing.

Eat plenty of nourishing food and build up your system. Tanlac does it. r. G. Fricke & Co. For an original way of displaying emotion at the death of a friend Mary Miles Minter wins the lace soup ladle. She knew Taylor well. lie was her friend. When the news of his sud den and mysterious taking off was imparted, she was horrified. But no one can 'tell about her reactions as Miss Minter: "It was terrible," she said. "I rushed to my mirror and looked at my face. I was appalled. I kept the expression and hurried to mama. "Mama," I cried, "did you ever see thi3 expression on my face be fore?" " 'No,' she said, 'it is perfect fro zen horror. You have never done it before.' " Poor Miss Minter coul4 not tell how she felt until she saw her face. Even then she needed mama to tell her it was emotion she had never 'registered" before. It's fortunate the news didn't come while Mary was in the dark, for then she would never have known just how she did take it. It is to 'be hoped that Miss Min ter has conquered the technique of her new Invention so that she can immortalize it on the screen. The death of loved human beings has been a most fertile source for artistic expression. The poetry, prose, music and drama of the world would suffer irreparably if they were deprived of their eulogistic pieces. tl remained for Miss Minter, how ever, to invent a new form of artis tic eulogy-the frozen horror movie, face. George S. Sand got a wealth j of usable literary material from the! tragedy, of herself and De mussett. Why shouldn't Miss Minter capital ize her frozen horror face?

Mr. Current, the employe in ;uestion, is a nephew of Miss Kath- enne t. Worlev, chairman of the oa.rd of control. The law defining le powers and duties of the board prohibits the employment of any rel- tive of a member of the board at ny institution under control of the oard. Superintendent Gus Miller of the formatory said he employed the man and that Miss Worley knew notliing of it for two weeks. The man was employed December 10. His resigna tion is now in the hands of the su perintendent and is to become effec tive at the pleasure of the superin tendent. As soon a another man can be found to fill the position the res ignation will be accepted, not later than the first of March. "The board has taken no action." said A. E. Allyn, member of the board. "I understand the resigna tion of the employe is to become ef fective whenever Superintendent Mil ler desires it. . I did not know the employe was a relative of a member of the board when he was employed, but I have known it for some time. I called Mr. Miller's attention to it. If the board does not do anything more flagrant than having a relative employed at a state Institution it will be doing pretty well. Nobody has been harmed by it, that I know of." Omaha, Feb. 16. During her resi dence in" this city, Mrs. Gault was prominently identified with the Oma ha Woman's club, having held several offices in that body. She was par ticularly well known as an authority on parliamentary law. Mrs. Gault has a son, Norman Gault, attorney, living in Omaha, and a sister, Mjs. Buell, a prominent at torney at Ashland.
