That "BIue" FEELING.

The use of the word blue" to de.
note melancholy or terror, as in the
phrases to feel blue" blue devils" Il
blue funk" and so on, is not entirely

ALL HAIL THE FOOD TAeLETsI
No Dishes, No Kitchen Work, Hence
No Household Drudgery.

How would You like to throw away
all your kitchen utensils and most of
the dishes; send your flour, meats,
spices and other pantry stuff to a
charitable association; turn the kitch-
en- into den or sunroom; turn the
pantry unto cozy corner, and live on
nuts, fruits and food in tablet form?
It's a long question and it isn't abso-
lutely new, but 1t comes in for consfd-
Grafton in connection with the recent
discussion of How to Get Rid of
Household Drudgery," says the Kan
sas City Times.
The suggestion was made In good
faith by a woman who believes in ths
system. She, advocates it without re-
gard to the fact that such a plan of
near eating" would rob life of it's
dearest privilege, that of gazing on
and devouring the luscious roasts and
brofis that competent cooks prepare,
to, say nothing Of potatoes mashed,
mashed or Drowned with butter and
gravy and pumpkin pie.
"This is no jest" the writer of the
essay says. ut has been my dream
for years. There is only one solution
. to the problems of housekeeping, only
one way to escape the ills that come
from unwise eating. Do away with
the kitchen and pantry, live OH fresh
fruits, nuts and condensed foods in
tablet form. Have a refrigerator or,
better still, cold storage room where
drinking water may be cooled and the
fruits chilled. An ornamental jar or
cabinet will hold enough tablets to
feed a family for a week or more.
Think Of the time saved that might
be devoted to reading or outdoor exer-
else! And with the money saved we
could buy motor cars or electric car
riages."
Think OF the saving of time and
energy, too! No more luncheons to
put up in newspapers every morning
for the children and father. A tablet
or two In their pockets and possibly a
nut for dessert and away they go to
the office. Can you see fathers face
when he comes home at night, tired
and cross, the children romping in
from school with cold little noses and
empty stomachs, ready to grow rap
turous over a plump, fat chicken or a
pan of Irish stew and hot biscuits?
Can you see the faces of the children
light up with JOY when you point one
finger at the tablet jar and go on with
your Browning or Emerson? No
dishes to wash, no scraps to throw
away-nothing to do except read, sing,
play and eat fruits, tablets and nuts.

by excessive riding. l had severe
pains in the small of my back, accom-
panied by headaches and dizzy spells

ed than when l went to bed. When

tie on my kidneys and aggravate my

Locked Shah In House OF Commons.
The predecessor of the deposed
shah of Persia who made a state visit
to England in 1873, had "a curious
experience in the distinguished
strangers gallery of the house of com
mons. He soon got tired of watching
the legislators at work, but when he
made a move to go he was told he
could not leave the gallery. 1t hap
pened at that moment that a division
was called, and in accordance with
the practice which then prevailed all
the doors of the house were locked I'M

IT dean and first president of the
" club, Adolph Willhartitz, last
night by an informal gathering and a
Dutch supper with which they cele-
brated the seventy-third birthday an
niversary of the special guest.
A program of addresses followed the
repast, and in the midst of fluctuations
the lights were turned out without
warming, and two servitors appeared
bearing a huge cake adorned with
seventy-three lighted candles. As a
souvenir of the occasion and date, Dean
Willhartitz was presented with a gold
signet ring, on the seal of which was
engraved "Con Amore."
A short business meeting followed,
during which the club voted to have
a try" for the $500 prize offered for the
best float entered in the Elks' parade
next month.
The club also decided to resolve it
self into a Gamut Boosters club, and
voted that during the next sixty days
every Wednesday shall be Boosters
day. and 1t shall be the duty of each
and every Gamuter to cheer and shout
and yell himself hoarse on those days
for the glory of his club. 1t was also
resolved that the membership of the
club shall be doubled within the same
period.

with the American people that thell
skill in solving these problems is a good
and sufficient reason for continuing
general taxation in their FAVOR. But

a-day man who sweats oui hls ILL.,, nlie ~
the heat of their profitable furnaces

of paternalism!
"This Pittsburg survey is the most
awful arraignment of an American IN
stitution and it's resulting class pro-
nounced since the days of slavery. 1t
puts upon the Pittsburg mllllonalre the
awful stamp of Greed, of Stupidity ana
of heartless Pride. But what should
we exnect of him? He is the creature
of a special privilege which for years
he has not needed. He has fought for
it because he fattened on it. He must
have it for labor But look at him and
look at his laborer and believe him II

'Justice takes a terrible revenge on
those who thrive by privilege. She
blinds their eyes until they no longer
see human misery. She dulls their
hearts until they no longer beat with
humanity. She benumbs their senses
until they respond only to a narrow
horizon of what they can individually
possese, touch, feel. She makes. as she
has in Pittsburg, a generation of men
and women who day by day can pass
hundreds of tumbled down and filthy
homes, in which the men and women
who make their wealth live. and feel
no shock: who can know that deadly
fevers and diseases which are prevent
able are wiping out hundreds of those
who do their tasks, and raise no hand.
Little children may die or grow up
stunted and evil within their sight AMI
no penny of their wealth, no hour Of
their leisure is given them. Women
may pass hours of incessant ton ana
die broken and unhonored, within their
sight. and they raise no hand. Wealth
which comes by privilege kills. The
