WHO’S GOT THE MONEY? We are told that there is more money in the country today than ever before in our history. Possibly so, but WHERE IS IT? 1Is it in the banks, or in the hands of BORROWERS? In either case it is not in the hands of the mass of the people. Chew these facts for a while, and see how they digest: How often can the three-dollar-a-day man with a family afford eggs at 50 and 60 cents a dozen, as they are in the cities? How many porterhouse steaks can he afford at 75 cents? With flour at $10 a barrel, and potatoes at $2 and $3 a bushel, and even the humble corn meal up in the clouds, how much can the large family afford to eat? With clothing, shoes, groceries, with everything usable up in prices and wages still down, how often is the poor man going to eat, and WHAT is he to eat? » Yes, there are millions—even billions—of money in the country, but it is in the hands of the few, while the many must be content with envy The average wage earner is to be pardoned an occasional cuss werd when he reads of the golden stream that is ‘‘pouring into the people.” "\, He would even like to be one of “the people.” ’ Cos w~ i ! ARE, MERELY BLUFFING IT THROUGH When the Tartars conquered the Chinese, they insisted on every yel- low man wearing his hair long and in a braid so that they, the Tartars, might conveniently drag the Chinese by the queue, and cut off his head just as conveniently when the dragging process got-tiresome. Today this queue on the Chinaman is his most cherished possession. #~ Custom is a curious thing. We are governed by custom. 1t is cuss " tomary to consider what our neighbors would think of .the things that we are about to do, not what the things were about to do amounts to. Humans get in the habit of haunting themselves with the idea of what others will think. They will slave, spend and struggle to show off— to satisfy the opinion of others, when they really know, or ought to know, that the ultimate end of such senseless strife for position is flat failure. A man’s mental machinery is out of mesh when he buys White Rock for the family washtub, = - . - - B S . Here's hoping we live to see the whole world in the gentlé ‘embrace of peace and brotherly love under the protecting arms of a “Monroe Doc- trine” all its own. For we would dearly love to see what kind of “crit- ters” inhabit this earth a thousand years hence. . p — e s » Pardon us for a moment while we suggest to a certain individual that he go to the nearest drug store, procure a good strong plaster, place it on that eruption between his shoulders and draw it to a HEAD. We learn that the first report that the machine was looking more and more every day like a Holstein Four was erroneous. It should have been a Durham Six. Glad to make the correction. : Efficiency brings happiness—happiness that must follow a realization of work well done. If this is true and happiness is your goal, study effi- ciency and profit by what you learn. . A dispatch contains the inrnrmailon that Colorado has been shipping $25,000,000 worth of potatoes to eastern markets. Gosh! Must have been at least a carload. Those who have carefully investigated the Leak in Wall Street seem to be of the opinion that a Tumultuous investigation has Tesulted in Me- Adoo about Nothing. “What’s in a name?”, is a question one often hears asked. Well, about the only thing we can think of just now is a divorce if the evidence is sufficient. The most important thing in building character is the selection pt the proper tools. Don’t try to drive a spike with a tack hammer—it won't work. Gray matter isn't always hidden under that kind of hair any more than tortoise-shell spectacles mean that the wearer has Kipling ‘“‘faded.” Madame, don’t criticise your husband’s pipe. So long as he smokes it he will not be “lifting” cigars from his friends’ pockets. There's a lot of fun in doing something for the other fellow without When you ask a return, it becomes work. thought of pay. Science says an electric bulb is brightest just before it burns out. And we might whisper, so is the nose of a booze fighter. Strip yourself of all self-adulation an!i then decide if you’d put your- self on your own pay roll if you signed the checks.

Musterole is a clean white ointment made with oil of mustard. Simply fub it on. No plaster necessary. Better than mustard plaster and does not blister. Thousands who use Musterole will tell what relief it gives from sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet and colds (it often prevents pneumonia). Mother’s Doll Story | The Sugar Pig ‘ Once upon a time a little boy had a sugar pig to play with. It was just as happy a plaything as a doll s, you see. It was about as big as a big mouse, and its tajl had two curls in it One pleasant afternoon the little boy went out in the yard to play. He took his sugar pig with him. “Why don’t you bite off his head?" shouted the little boy’s friend through the fence. “Because | want to keep him," an- swered the owner. “If .he were mine 1 would eat him up,” answered the neighbor boy. “That’s what pigs are for—to eat.” ‘While they had been talking the sun had gone behind a cloud, and soon big wet snowflakes began to fall. “If it rains we will be called in the hoyse,” sdid the neighbor boy. -*“Come on, let’s hide!” go they ran out back of the garden and climbed jpto an old doghouse. They put the sugar pig down on the top of fi%e hpuge and playeds Indian in. | side while theé énotv fell ' When it grew almost dark and they wanted to go in the house all they could find of the sugar pig was a little wet spot on the top of the dog- house that tasted sweet when they put their fingers in it and then licked them. Hands at - ] Your Vitals? | — Yoiir Life is Threatened When the Machinery of D}zel- tion and Assimilation GetsOut of Gear. Little pains grow to big ones. Headaches, dullnéss and “tired-all- over” feelings mean downright ser- jous, possibly fatal illness, unless the fault is corrected. Filipinos Likeé Stilts. - The Filipino children are much ad- dicted to walking on stilts, the intro- duction of which is accounted for by an old story. It seems that the people at a town “fiesta™ a ceutury -or more ago wantéd some giants to take part in a spectacle. The resideng priest taught two men to walk on stilts with long skirts to conceal the latter, and the novel idea gave such delight to. the. boys that every male youngster on the island was soon stumping about on ‘ong wooden legs. Some Insects. If a man traveled as fast ds a locust ne could go around the world in a cou. ple of days. and if he had the speed of a fly he could make six miles a minute. A flea jumps 200 times its own length. A man to equal that would have to leap a quarter of a mile. If a horse could carry as much as a beetle it would drag five tons, for a bee- tle carries forty times its own we’ght. An Easy Name. A Philippine secret society is named Kataastadsan Kagalanggallang . Kati- punan! The Kataastaasan Kagalang- galang Katipunar has headquarters at Manila. Originally it was called the Katanstuu§un Kagalanggalassau Kati- punan, but for easier pronunciation it was changed to Kataastaasan Kaga- langgalang Katipunan.—Boston Globe.
