"SKIDOO" FOR SIMPLIFIED
SPELLING.

The national House of Repre-
sentativesis inceused over the usur-
patton of authority BY the Presi-
dent in issuing his mandate for the
reform in spelling. II is regarded
as dangerous encroachment of the
executive upon the legislative de-
partment of the government. If
there are to be any changes in the
dictionary, the legislators feel that
tley are the proper Pe.sons to
take the lead.
An item in one Of the approPrea-
tim bills reads:

&C. shall be used in connection with

For everything we get something IS
taken away. Every act pulls two
ways. Some men in power dole out
their souls for It, They can't have soul
and power at the same time.
And so, in this quick-living age,
most Of us can't have energy and
health at the same time. One or the
other must be lost, and it is usually
health.
We know we are doing wrong ana
would like to reform, but we have q
morbid fear of being laughed at If we
aim to live and eat according to con-
science and good sense.
Some of us break away for awhile
and ensave ourselves to diet. we

soldiers of muscle and DASH and how
