The Point in Question
THE KINDLY CRITIC
There is a iaw to fit all cases of
'wrongdoing—no one is perched so
high as to escape its clutches if the
'aw is set in motion. And that is
there the trouble seems to be—to
set the law in motion; to enforce
its mandates. In every community
here are those whose direct and
sworn duty '.t is to see that laws are
■ ntorced. No matter what their
particular code of morals may bo;
•o matter as to their beliefs—the law
is there for society’s protection, and
when set in motion, in an earnest,
> onscientious manner, is a winner
< very time. Up in Norfolk, this
tate, the mayor placed his own view?
above morality, and the laws bearing
upon the same. Now a demand has
'eon filed with the governor calling
■ or the ousting of “his honor” upon
ihe charge that lie failed to suppress
disorderly houses; which in truth
means, that lie encouraged disorderly
houses. And here is where the law
protects society—it saying, that
where a mayor neglects to enforce
the law, he may be removed. There
is a law to fit all cases of wrongdo
ing. The main thing is to set the
Uw in motion 11 is honor, the mayor,
at Norfolk may or may not be re
moved, but I c will be a sadder and a
wiser man when his career as mayor
i? threshed o'.er.
Hair dressers and dealers in hair
yjods are doing a lucrative business
these days, owing *o the calls of
Mine Fashion for a top-heavy style
■>S coiffure. It goes without saying
that the new styles are becoming to
i <ery woman- there are no excep
tions. She may look a trifle odd to
ou at first, but after one grows ac
iistomed to the massive rounded crea
tion, it neith r startles nor bewilders,
and it is sa'd that the arrangement
1 -ii- safe anchorage is perfect.which
ijts a load from the minds of the
miockers and admirers
"I'm losing flesh,” remarked a good
'izer. one c'ny last week to his
ixt door neighbor; “and its this
question of increased cost of living
it’.at is sapping my avoirdupois. Ev
f >y man I meet wants to talk about
.fee prices in 1905, or 1906, or some
ther year, and compare them to
no prices of 1910. 1 don’t want to
talk about it. 1 buy groceries for a
‘amily of six—1 don't need talking to
— its a remedy I want I've quit eat
ing eggs, 1’vc cut out ham; butter
ft cm’t taste right at 35 cents per lb.,
and 1 don't like sirloin. What’s a
nan going t, > do? But on top of
Uiis self den,a' I practice, and that
uiy family practices. I can’t stand
ft;r the talk of a statistician—it's not
figures I want—I want my ham and
?cy eggs. 1 want my wife to quit
dicing about Yost Posties and ‘puff
. ii’ foods. I want the good old
li nes back, when th-y ‘threw in’ liv
with a geierous purchase of meat,
.nd let you sample the bologna and
sickles whether you bought any or
not. Will those good days ever re
turn, or will prices keep soaring lin
'd fried mush and rice pudding looks
good at a Sunday dinner?”
it begins to look as though our
- -der state. Missouri, would vote on
Plate-wide prohibition November
ext. “Tho world do move." Think
1 it—-state-wide prohibition in
'>,f commonwealth that fur
ishes us Anheusur-Busch, Ilud
weisef and Lcmp beer and Shaw
Van Whiskey. The saloon keeper of
.'day, if his “noodle” is in perfect
working order, is running an orderly,
■ N an establishment., and is not “mon
keying” with any buzz-saw in the way
of a poker-game adjunct. The wise
*. !oon-k< i per is avoiding oven the
.f'Poarance of harboring the “never-1
'weats" and the “tin-horns.”
if your recollection lias become
eroded and clogged as to the mini
v r of summers that have smiled up
os you since you first entered the
r rent, arena, you’d better consult the
family bible, for the census enumera
tor will soon be making the rounds
«d will propound the question—
■ g*\ please."
According to the good old fashioned
. -nanac for 1910, about the usual
style of weather will prevail during the
next twelve months. There will be
r ore southerly winds in the summer
•ime than in the winter and the; vio
lets will probably bloom in the early
-rring. A number of unusually good
Jleged jokes are to be found in the
>elumo as per custom, also the exact
liiste of ti number of important events.
Raster Sunday comes early,—March
This is earlier than any time
mice 1894, when it came on March
.9. The date is fixed by the vernal
••'juinox. Easter Sunday is always the
first Sunday after the first full moon
, fter the sun crosses the line. Last
i »ar it was April 11, and two years
,go it. was April 19. Weather proph
ets claim that an early Easter means
an early spring.
There will be four eclipses this
year, two of the sun and two of the
moon. The sun’s eclipse will not
be visible in this country. Both
eclipses of the moon will be visible
here. One will arrive May 23 and
the other one November 15.
Decoration day and the Fourth of
July both come on Monday. Christ
mas conies on Sunday.
Mr. llok, editor of the Ladies Home
Journal, discredits women’s clubs in
the characteristic manner of all deal
ers in sophistry. Ho does it by the
illogical negative process. He asks
what the clubs have done for the cure
of various evils he points out, but
certainly avoids asking what they
have done for the alleviation of many
other evils, lb' seeks to judge them
by the things they have not yet ac
complished, not by those great, ones
they have achieved and are earnestly
working upon. He might ask the
same questions of organizations of
men, with far less possibility of a fav
orable answer. One can not analyze
his creed without being instantly
struck with the proper answer to his
charge that the women are superficial.
It must be because they have been
reading too faithfully Mr. link's con
tributions to the magazine he edits.—

Dear Friend:
Prunes, when you
stew them Are a mighty
nice thing to begin
breakfast with. Don't
you think so?
There is lots of
difference in the
kinds of prunes you
get though. If you
want to get real nice
prunes you must go to
a grocery that carries
good prunes and other
fruits. Your friend,
