Stupid, intolerant, senile, ivory-pated Bourbonism can strike its hand in a spirit of per- fect fellowship into the bloody palm of Bolshev- ism. I mean‘ Bolshevism as it is ordinarily under- stood, Bolshevism as it is reported and conveived in its worst aspects. Bourbonism-and such Bol- shevism both practice tyranny, the tyranny of the majority over the minority, which respects no law and disregards personal rights. Both believe in the rule of force rather than’ in the rule of reason. Both dote upon reaction and revel in repression. Both would muzzle the press and sil- ence discussion.”—From a speech by Senator France, Maryland. THE SCHOOLHOUSE In the first place, in these times, it isn’t red, And as a rule it isn’t little. But it is still a school- house. When the man.in the political campaign, years ago, spoke of the little red schoolhouse, one could visualize fairly well his picture: Surely red; also little. Two. other little boxes of build- ings, also red, one for the boys and one for the girls; little square bell tower, in which swung a farm dinner bell. A woodhouse, filled with beech and hickory ‘and elm, the door carved with initials and here and there a heart entwined. And a well —a little further back,an open one, with a big sweep and the real article, the old oaken bucket. Abut all that was done in this schoolhouse, outside of township meetings, waa the holding of a spell- ing bee once each winter.’ { But that schoolhouse has passed. It is now a larger building, glassed wherever possible. It is a@ community center for all sorts of activities. Improved roads run by it, and there may be no bell., The teacher does not “board around.” The woodhouse is gone because the building is heated by a coal furnace, and a modern:plumbing system has replaced the two little other buildings that the farmer boys, giggling, ube 'to‘tip over: on Hallowe'en. tgs Bis tera 8 fie Somebody is always taking“the' joy" out of \life, - ‘but adding. to its smoothnéss: at the! “The little ted sbhqdthouge is’ ow little more than afigure of fiction. Rees} THE WILD DREAM * Is man to make actual contact with his nearest .eelestial neighbor of consequence, the moon, with (a device first-pictured in the fantastic yarn of a ‘fiction writer more than half a century ago? Prof. Robert H. Goddard of Clark college pro- ‘poses to fire a rocket from the earth to the moon. Jules Verne, French novelist, in 1865 sent scien- :tists to the satellite in the body of a projectile :in New York. The log ofthis imaginary cosmic ;bullet, written under the title “From the Earth to ‘the Moon,” still forms a little read yet “highly ‘probable account of the improbable.” ' If Verne is to be the pioneer of some earth-moon ; transportation system it will be the second time i that the uncanny imaginative foresight of the : Frenchman has been vindicated by the practical | mind of science. , Almost thirty years before the first submarine ;was launched, Verne wrote “Twenty Thousand | Leagues Under the Sea,” descriptive of life aboard / the submarine Nautillis. The great ship of Cap- : tain Nemo differs in not a single essential from ; the most advanced types of underwater craft the war produced. ° From the first cramped and untrustworthy sub- + marines of Lake to the monster Gérman undersea cargo carriers is a far cry. But it was a far, far cry from the pages of “Twenty Thousand Leagues” to the first practical sub: So, todayperhaps, “From the Earth to the Moon” may be the wild dream of a wild dreamer, and tomorrow the ultimate of the rocket Professor Goddard has convinced the Smithsonian institute may offer the first practical demonstration of the linking of bodies in space.

Her activity covered little more than three decades, yet she was one ‘of the pioneers of women musi- cians in this country. When she was a girl there was still a strong opposition to women in instru- mental music. Pianists of the fair sex were be- ginning to be tolerated, but the violin—surely the line must. be drawn:there!:; No,doubt it did seem odd to see a girl of 20 stand on the stage con- spicuously, playing’a violin solo with Theodore Thomas and the 80 or:more men of his orchestra as her accompanists; but it was axspectacle to which music lovers soon became’ accustomed. There are orchestral instruments which will al- ways'be unsuitable for women—drums and trom- bones and mammoth tubas. But the violin‘is all right; no less an authority than Berlioz called it the woman’s voice of the orchestra. It is habitu- ally used for the expression of beauty and senti- ment, the outbursts of virile force being left to the brasses and the instruments of percussion. Some women musicians are more masculine than their rivals of the strong sex. Schumann, in his letters to the pianist who became his wife, fre- quently admonished her to restrain her aggres- sively virile temperament. That a woman can be forceful and impetuous without being in the least mannish is illustrated by the eminent Chicago pianist, Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler, whom Huneker zalled the Sarah Bernhardt of the keyboard. The same critic years ago accused Maud Powell of not developing the feminine side of her work. She had not done so purposely, because of the then ex- isting prejudice against’ women violinists; but thenceforth. she determined, as she remarked to frederick H. Martens, “to be,just myself, and olay as the spirit moved me, with no further thought of sex or sex distinctions, which in art, after all, are secondary.” She realized this forci- bly on the occasion when, with some other judges, she listened behind a screen to young competitors on the violin and piano. In several cases all the judges guessed wrongly. Sir George Henschel, however, relates that Brahms never failed to guess the sex of an unseen player. On the whole it may be said that in the musi- ral race course American women are gaining on the men, certainly quantitavely and in some direc- ‘ions also qualitatively. Maud Powell was un- Joubtedly the greatest violinist of either sex this sountry has produced. Among American pianists, ‘f we include South ‘America, the honors are about aven. The singers have far outstripped the-men both in the:concert halls and the opera. Riccardo Martin, Bispham, Blass, Griswold—what are a handful of men compared with Hauck, Carey, Kel- ‘ogg, Eames, Nordica, Farrar, Homer, Nevada, Rider-Kelsey, Sanderson, Sterling, Van Zandt, Walker, Ponselle, Gates, to name only a few? The ambitions of our men seem to lie in other direc- tions, and one hardly wonders that this is the case when one considers the way the greatest of Amer-. ican tenors, Riccardo Martin, has been balked.— New York Evening Post.‘ A HOPEFUL SIGN Elsewhere .in-this paper ‘will be found a complete story of the defeat inthe defeat in the supreme court, of Governor Frazier and his associates in et ee to nullify’ the state constitution hrough the passage of house bill No. 60. It is in- teresting reading because no other state in the Union has attempted through its officers to de- stroy the fundamental law which they had.sworn to support, and give the executive full swing in! whatever theories of government may possess him as. political exigencies arise. } While all lovers of orderly procedure hoped for such a decision, it was considerable of a surprise, when remembrance is had of the singular coinci- dence of the views shared by the league leaders and more than a majority of the high court, but it is none the less refreshing\to know that four of the five justices united to save the constitution. It is one of the most hopeful signs of thetimes.— Beach Advance.

As a. result of the condition of fact already stated an Oligarchy of “Business” has grown up within our nation and has v urped the strictly governmental function of arbitrarily levying and collecting taxes upon the people M Here is a correctly stated condition of fact which Glearty illustrates the truth and the’ force of what I ‘shave just said: ao ¥ Our Joecal wool gi rs association. of which TE am director, on or about duly 1, 1919,)shipped_ to!

Returns on' either shipment not haw ing been, received I recently wrote to Salter Brds, requesting an explana- tory statement from them. And in answer was told that they were just ag anxious to dispose of my wool as 1 was to have them do so. “But it was not yet sold, and for the simple and very good reason that there was absolutely no demand for it. ‘As a matter of fact we farmer pro- ducers of that wool are not only ans- ious to sell it, but we would be well ‘satisfied indeed to receive for it an average priceof 50¢ a pound net.

As men must have clothes you. see that this division.of our governnient— within-a-government is arbitrarily tax- ing us, $37.50 or 168 per cent on each suit of clothes. and is warning us that the tax will soon be doubled. Yet the farmer can’t get sale for his raw wool.

Has the Carrel-Dakin treat- ment been in use in such cases? A. Empyema is a disease in which there is a collection of pus in the pleural cavity. It usually occurs dur- ing pyeumonia, or following some in- fection such as influenza or measles, or develops out ‘of pleurisy... It ‘may. be due to an injury. tothe chest. The treatment consists of such gen- eral measures as rest and support of. the circulation, and usually necessi- tates at some period of the disease the mechanical removal of pus, either by means of a hollow needle, or, more frequently, by means. of... drainage tubes inserted through incisions. Co- incidently various solutions are fre- quently employed to aid in removal of pus and to prevent, if possible, its. reformation. The Carrel-Dakin duid has been thus emplyoed with varying success, according to differ- ent observers. Measures are then tak- en to cause the compressed tung -to re-expand and resume its full func- tions. In some old cases extensive operations are employed to obliterate a large pus cavity which refuses to heal by other means. The treatment, of course, demands the services of a qualified physician, o Q. Is yeast of value for. one who desires to gain in flesh?’ How is yeast taken internally? ‘ ‘ A. Yeast has been used with suc- cess, especially, in the treatment. of skin diseases. I do not. know how it is used for the purpose. you ,men- tion. In treating ¢ertain skin diseases the compressed yeast is used, and the dose is from one-half to one. cake, taken three times a day. The. yeast can be stirred into a little broth,.or can be used on bréad like: cheese. It usually has a laxative action, and sometimes causes the ‘development of considerable gas. have used dead yeast; killing It by boiling in water. Ig you are underweight be sure to have your doctor give you a thorough examination for there may be some underlying serious disorder that should be treated. It is most unwise to attempt selftreatment. Q. “Will milk or magnesia make: the blood thin? A. Not so far as we are aware. Q. Is it true that whole wheat and brown rice contain all the necessary minerals of the body? A. Practically, yes, nevertheless the addition of other foods ig necessary in order to sustain the body in per- fect condition. A mixed diet, espe- cially one that. is varied, is best.
