The lobbyist Is the most striking
figure of all He Is n picture done in
Oil. His mission Is to tell the lcgIsla-
tors now to save their country, and he
fulnlls his mission (for a ccqsIdcro-
tion). a lobbyist would not change his
convictions for money. Certainly not
but his convictions are generally on
the same side that the money Is. As a
matter of fact. I never heard of a
lobbyist who had any ccnvic,ions that
were not born and nourishcd in the
Sunlight Of the Almighty Dollar. The
measure he advocates so strcnuously
may be patriotic and beneficial, or IL
may be ubiquitous, but when YOU find
somebody lobbying for IL you may rest
assured that some one Is going 10 de-
rive more beeleit from 1t than the grco
majority for whom the measure is sun
posed 10 be framed. / know some
lobbyists who are good men. few who
do their talking from motives of pure
friendship, and know some who don't.

Breath is made OF air. We breathe
with our lungs, onr lights, our liver and
our kidneys. III 1t wern't for our breath
We should die when we sleep. Our breath
keeps the life a going through onr nose
when we are asleep. Boys that stay in
the room al day should not breathe.
They should wait till they get out OF
doors. Boys in room make bad un'
wholesome air. They are carboncide.
Carboncide is poisoner than mad dogs.
A heap OF soldiers was in black hole in
India and n carbonclde got into that hole
