Who shall reveal (he mysteries of this old world and of the life on it? We take pride in human achievements and imagine vain things. The wonders of science, art and nature enthrall us. One moment we revel in the thought of the volume of knowledge we possess; the next are chagrined by our narrow limitations. In all our accumulated truths, painfully acquired . during thousands of years, we have not yet at tained perfection in any direction. Our learn ing has never yet reached to the beginnings of things nor to their endings. We delve into geology, astronomy and theology; into philoso phy and science and human experience; and with all of it we do not yet know why a blade of grass exists, or a tree, or an animal, or any thing else on earth, tinder the earth, or above it. We look into the sky at night and are abashed. We see the ocean pounding a rock bound shore, or thistledown floating in summer air, and cannot tell why or for what either ex ists, , We do not know why we are here nor where we are going. Brought into a world of con tending forces and beliefs, of hardships, luxuries, pains, pleasures, joys, sorrows, vanities, hu miliations, achievements and failures, we. try to get what we want and to evade what we dislike, until the passing years lead us to a hole in the ground and that greatest of all mysteries death,' Never are we able to tell the why or the what for of this world. We but nibble at the edge of things,, with no definite, accurate, scien tific comprehension whither our loves, hatreds and strivings are leading us. No father has yet been able to tell his son why he exists; no .son has ever been able, to tell his father what the future holds for him at the end of his years. Life comes and goes. Is it an asset or a liabil ity? We have mental pictures of places for the righteous and the wicked, after judgment, from sources we believe divine, but they are vision of faith, not actual demonstrations of reality. We say our dead are in a long sleep, awaiting the Resurrection. Blessed hopel And the next moment we imagine them already in heaven. A bit of music thrills us. Youth and spring and love bring us joy. Age and weakness and disease destroy our capacity for earthly pleas ures, and we turn to the promises of Holy Writ for consolation. The wind sighs through the trees and our hearts sink. We grow weaker and weaker until the finish. What creatures of circumstance, of physical conditions, of en vironment we all are to the very end! We struggle for success, and when we win it find it not what we sought. Tangled in the web of mortality, dodging death daily, we are op pressed by the knowledge, that we are dying, little by little, every day of our lives. Con founded by things we cannot understand, we finally come to know there is no escape from melancholy except by the cultivation of the spiritual side of our natures. Then a new realm opens to us. The everlasting joys of hope, faith and love beckon. Perchance the inspira tion of a reasonable religion takes hold upon us. ' Happy are they whom this faith reaches, for 'it lightens their hearts, dissipates their anxieties, and satisfies their souls. They are ushered into the promised land flowing with the milk and honey of religious trust in God and happy life beyond the grave. The ages have brought no substitute for the Rock of Ages. William Hohenzollern a Frenchman? Some enterprising antiquarians, zealously de voted to getting the former kaiser of Germany before a court of justice, have unearthed some curious information. Delving about the roots of the family tree, they have discovered that the grandmother of Frederick the Great of Prussia was a French woman. She also was grand mother to George II of England. One of the fictions of the tribe of-Hohenzollem is that all of the mingled nationalities involved in the descent of its princes are retained intact. This line of reasoning would make William a Frenchman, and therefore he can be extradited from Holland as such. As well set up that he is an Englishman, for his mother was daughter of Victoria the Good. It is said that at times the former emperor was wont to rail at his English blood, and assert his withered left arm was due to his extraction. We may readily be lieve, however, that he is not at the moment insisting that he is of anything but purest Ger man blood, and the world ought to be willing to let it go at that. Poisoning Croker't Old Age. "He that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune," wrote Bacon. And it fre quently occurs that men of wealth who have adult children and marry the second time, lay the foundation for great bitterness of spirit in their declining years. The case of Richard Croker, for many years grand sachem of Tammany Hall, and as such the most powerful political influence in New York City, is an instance in point. Ten or twelve years ago Mr. Croker married an Indian woman from the Oklahoma Reservation, abattf doned politics, and went to Ireland to live. He was happy with his wife, but his relations with his children were strained by the second mar riage. Now they have made charges against thtir sUp-mother'g character before her mar riage, and ask that their.father be adjudged in competent to manage his large estate. In re taliation, presumably, Mr. and Mrs. Croker charge the eldest son with gross misconduct in the father's American business affairs. It is rather late to attack Mrs. Croker's record previous to her marriage, but the world knows no situation that will arouse meaner or more sordid emotions than a family row over a step-mother and an old father's money. The ingratitude of children under such circum stances is amazing. Only the judges and law yers who have experience in their settlement know the heart-burnings that destroy the peace of families struggling for advantage in the dis tribution of a rich man's estate. Yet Spring is Here. Air filled with swirling snow, a bitterness in the wind making the genial glow of the open fire or the seductive warmth of a radiator most grateful, scarcely inspires a thought of spring. Yet the spring is here. A robin knows it, for he was observed gleaning a grass plot for his breakfast while tht tiny snowftakes fell fast tatt him. Many pther signs are present Elm and maple buds are swelling, the box elders are blooming, a vivid green tinges the lawns, and the irrepressible taraxacum shows signs of tak ing command again, just as it has in other springs. Soon the frugal housewife will be searching the banks for dandelion and mustard, sour dock and other greens, to piece oat the homely menu and provide the succulent dish so essential to the season. It is a little too soon for the low-quartered shoe, but its advance guard already is with us, supplementing those hardy individuals who stayed out all winter. Rubbish heaps are being removed, and symptoms of a general clean-up are noted. Some forehanded ones, deluded by the soft days of recent experience, have "cleaned house" and taken off the storm windows and doors, but the wise are holding off for more definite assurance of vernal moderation. Spring is here, not steal ing upon us as a thief in the night, but with all the boisterous gaiety and disturbance of a roystering harumscarum, full of hoydenish tricks and unpleasant surprises. Growth of Scottsbluff. Lacking the official figures, the total popu lation of Scottsbluff will not be given, but we know that eacl) individual of that bustling little center of the sugar beet industry is a live wire. The census bureau gives Scottsbluff credit with increasing almost three-fold in population in the decade, its exact ratio being 295.9 per cent. This exceeds any other town in the country, although all but six show some rate of growth. Nebraskans will have some pride in the state ment, for this fact indicates a development worthy pf notice. Scottsbluff is not the only town out in that region to show growth, for Gering and Mitchell, both close by, have also thriven wonderfully, These are the commercial and industrial centers of the fertile Mitchell valley, whose fecundity under the North Platte ditch has been the marvel of all who are fa miliar with it. Industry and enterprise, hand maidens of prosperity, have produced perfect results out there, and the fortunate dwellers in that region deserve the distinction that is theirs. An Apocryphal Tale. By way of Tokio comes word through what is said to be an official publication of the im perial Japanese government, that King George (God save the king if he cannot produce an alibi) told two of Japan's delegates to the peace conference at a private audience in Buck ingham palace that President Wilson was a trifle too keen to control the earth and the full ness thereof, or words to that general effect. Of course this story is impossible, even though cabled from Tokio. President Wilson's shrinking modesty and all but total self-effacement at Paris were quite too conspicuous to leave room for even such a thought as the Royal George is said to have uttered to his distinguished visitors. The good old chap may have been spoofing the Japs as the golden gob lets of champagne were greasing elbows, don't y' know, but as serious conversation the whole story is bally rot what? Fooling With the Time-Table. "Daylight saving" did not die when the law was repealed by congress. A lot of folks still are enamored of the plan, and would like to see it revived. In cities where these are in ma jority, the clock will be set forward an hour, and 6 will become 7 on the dial. In some cities the matter will be sadly confused, for all will not follow the one rule, and it may be both 6 and 7 o'clock at the same time. Nature, however, will go along undisturbed. The sun will wheel through the sky on his well known course! and with only such variation in time as results from the zodiacal progress -of our little ball. Fac tory workmen may be routed out by the toot of the whistle1, and start their routine at any arbitrarily determined hour, but the cows and chickens will work as they have; grass will grow and grains will ripen according to the hours of sunlight and darkness, and without any regard for .the process of the pointers on a dial. Here is one place where man is unable greatly to improve on "Nature's honest rule." Pop Goes One Weasel. A press telegram from Washington tells of action of the joint committee of congress to put a stop to war extravagance by the executive branch of the government. It says: The committee found that the admin istration was issuing 266 regular publications, millions of copies of which were being sent out Some of them were being widely dis tributed in the interest of the movement to procure acceptance of the league of nations covenant without reservations. Then follows the welcome news that 108 of these partisan publications- have been lopped off, with a saving of $1,200,000 annually. The' democratic party has been making the public pay for its propaganda. First Aid for Throats Aflame. Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie are no longer a fitting sequel to "sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye." A man with such a pocket load in a crystal container properly corked has something more desirable to set before the king than blackbird pie. But notwithstanding the unescapable fact of prohibition all genuine bowels of compassion must be moved by longings for the unattain able of those who cannot get it And yet they say candy, or cool buttermilk, is a great relief for such suffering. Herb Hoover says he will not make an "active drive" for the nomination. He may be very sure i will hardly be wished on him.

In the vomiting of Women during pregnancy it has long been the prac tice for the woman to stay in bed until late in the morning and to eat crackers or bread before getting out of bed and at short Intervals during the day. Now comes Drs. Titus, Hoffman and Glvens, in the Journal of the American Medical Associa tion, offering a scientific explanation and a treatment based on the theory. The vomiting, they say, is due to sugar and starch starvation. When the woman commences to vomit, or is afraid to eat because of nausea. the starch and sugar starvation Is made worse. If she takes much ex ercise, the condition becomes worse, siace muscle work burns up sugar. The developing child requires a good deal of sugar, as does the body of tne woman. Under these circumstances the surplus of sugar stored in the mus cles and in the liver is used up. If the woman eats a good deal of lean meat, as she is likely to do under the theory that her growing baby needs protein, she is likely to throw her chemistry out of balance unless she eats a good deal of starch and sugar. Practically the matter works out this way: The pregnant woman should have a diet rich in bread, cereals, sugar and vegetables, and containing rather a small amount of protein. If in spite of this the woman develops nausea, she should eat more bread, cereals and veg etables, and less meat and eggs. She should avoid long fasts. For instance, it is a mistake to go without food from the evening meal at about 6 in the evening until a morning breakfast at about 8. Some crackers or a cereal at bedtime, or as a midnight lunch or in the early hours of the morning. A few crack ers midway of the morning and afternoon may also be advisable. Some cases may require in addi tion two to four tablespoonfuls of a 10 per cent solution of glucose and 2 per cent bicarbonate of soda in water taking thia every few hours. About half a pint to one pint a day is taken. If the vomiting is obstinate It will be necessary for a physician to take the matter in hand and give treat ment along the same general lines, but given in a more scientific and better controlled way. He will put his patient to bed, see that she gets plenty of water by mouth or other wise, give her no meat or eggs, per haps starve her for a day, and feed her sugar solution by injection or into her veins, and, finally, gradually bring her back to a bread-cereal-vegetable diet Bicycle' Possible Remedy. B. R. A. writes: "Possibly there is some cure or exercise that will help to straighten ' slightly crooked limbs of a girl of 16." REPLY. Probably not- It is said that rid ing a bicycle is of some service, if it is a little too high. If you will ride every day you may be helped. If Jt does your legs no good you have not lost, since bicycle riding is excellent for health and well being. Others May Tell You. IC. F. writes: "I am a girl of 17 and my parents have not told me one thing about life. Am I old enough to know? I am trying to figure things out, but I can't. Or will you tell where I can get a book and the price of it? I shall be very graterui. REPLY. Ask your mother to tell you what you should know. If she is disin clined, ask your school teacher, or if you are not in school, ask your Sun day school teacher. If you work, perhaps the forewoman can be de pended on. To Avert That Yawn. J. S. writes: "What causes (tap- ing or yawning? Worse after sup per than other times. Does it come from the nerves, or is it largely a habit that might be controlled by will power, or does it come from, the stomach?" REPLY. Insufficient supply of oxygen. It can be cured by any one of the following: 1. Eating a light supper. 2. Taking some active exercise. 3. Opening the windows, cooling the air, freshening it, and lowering the temperature.

To the Editor of The Bee: When President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker drafted General John J. Pershing as commander of the American Expe ditionary Forces in France, not only did they choose one of the world's greatest generals of any army since the days of the Father of Our Coun try, ' George Washington, but they chose the next president of these United States of America for the next four years and probably eight years, with the consent of our Heav enly Father, the Commander-in-Chief of all the Universe. One has only to meet General Pershing face to face and have the honor of grasping him by the hand, something tells him that he. is In the presence of a superior man, a man that comes to us only once in a cen tury. But still a man that any one can meet, be she or he ever so poor in clothes or wealth, they all receive the same sweet smile and kindly look that one expects to receive from one's own father after a long absence from home. A man that all good and clean-cut Americans, re gardless of former party affiliations, can trust, work and vote for this coming November and rest assured that the cause of democracy will continue and that Justice and good American government will prevail. A man that has had a responsi bility as commander-in-chief of the A. E. F. that required not only a great military leader, but an or organlzer of an executive that falls to lot of but few men once in a life time. A man who does not know what the word failure means, what Is right and just, his record in France proves beyond any question of doubt that what I write is truth. A man when leaving the land of his birth, weighted down with sor row after having taken from him all that was near and dear to him, all except one, a son, and then to bring back to us all such a glorious vic tory to American arms. A man who believes in strict at tention to duty at all times, and still one that has the best interest and welfare at heart of every man under his command, his duties were heavy, and I am sure that his Borrows were such, in seeing the flower of man hood destroyed from all angles, be cause he was as a father to them all. A man who does his duty to his country at all times and does it well, and does not shout it from every house top, but who travels about the country and talks good common American sense, using as his subject Americanism, from the child at its mother's knee to grown womanhood and manhood. A man who has had the privilege of coming in contact with many of the world's statesmen, military, naval, and the rank and file of the people, and I am sure with honor to them and to him, and whose star will continue to shine brighter and brighter so long as he lives, and whose memory will remain with the American people for centuries. v Very sincerely yours.
