BAD BILIOUS
Attack

There Is nothing that will more COM
pletely knock out man, or woman either,
and entirely incapacitate them for work or
pleasure, than bad attack Of biliousness.
You get up with headache which increases
II you stoop over. You are dizzy whea
you stand up straight again. Your tongue
is coated and your mouth tastes bad You
are irritable and out of sorts. That's
biliousness.
H. If you want to get right again remove
the cause Your bowels are clogged. The
natural sewers of the body fail to carry of
the poisonous matter. The bile is being
absorbed by the blood, and your whole
body is crying out against the imposition.
Take three Smiths Pineapple and Butter
nut Pills at once. Don't wait till you go to
bed. Then take two more when you retire.
1t is astonishing to see how quickly they
will relieve. They restore the liver and
stomach to normal activity and purify the
blood. Physicians use and recommend.
They form no habit. You should always
keep these little Vegetable Pills on hand
They ward off many ills.

Much is being said about direct legis
lation these days, and an exchange beiue
asked to define The initiative, referendum
and recall, gives the following brief expla
nation
The initiative is the power vested in
the people to demand laws by petition.
The referendum is the power given them
to vote on the passage Of laws. The re.
call is the power TO turn off any official
who fails TO meet their approval The
three measures taken together constitute
what is now known as direct legislation.
The measures have been adopted. in more
or less complete form. in sixteen states,
and are being considered by half a dozen
others.
They are all just and right. In some
cases. though, they have been rendered
imperative by court decisions and by
'jokers'' placed in the laws providing
for them. Where the recall has been
omitted, the officials still have things
very much their own way. Because the
federal courts have assumed to pass on
constitutionality Of law. they have in
some cases rendered void laws passed by
referendum. Not until the recall 10 made
to include all officials, from the president
down through the federal courts, will the
full benefit Of direct legislation be
realized.
The initiative, referendum and recall
were originally put forth by the populists.

letters come from county officials, the

The Towers of Silence.

In Persia stand two towers called
by the Parsees the "towers of 81
lence." According to their religion:
they never bury their dead, but
have the body exposed on the top OF
one of these towers until the sun
and the rain and the fowls of the
air have cleaned the bones Of all
flesh. The bones are then collected
and placed in the other tower.
These Parsees, who are followers OF
Zoroaster and very devout, have al
most disappeared as people, there
being only about 5000 of them at
the present time.

The Same Ideas Differently Expressed
by Various Writers.


1t has been said that there were
originally only three jokes in the
world-some say seven-and from
these has sprung modern humor, so
people long ago learned to expect
nothing new under the sun and to
agree with Pliny the elder, who be-
fore he persisted in the Vesuvius
eruption of A. D. 70 remarked:
''In comparing various authors
with one another l have discovered
that some of the gravest and latest
writer's have Transcribed word for
word from former works without
making acknowledgements"
Some of these transcriptions
make interesting comparisons.
Longfellow wrote, cart is long,
and time is feeting." Goethe put
the sentiment into German thus:
Ach. Colt, die Kunst list lang.
Und kurz list unser Leben!
Which Bayard Taylor translated
almost literally:
Ah God, but art is long,
And life, alas, is fieeting!
Chaucer had said, "The lyfe so
short, the craft SO long to lerne,"
but Hippocrates long before him
had uttered the same thought.
Pope said:
Know myself: presume not God to scan.
The proper study of mankind is man.
But Chaucer had said, "Full wise
is he that can himselven knowe."
Cervantes put it, "Make it thy bust
ness to know thyself, which is the
most difficult thing in the world"
Diogenes Laertius said that Tales
was the originator Of the saying
Plutarch gives it to Plato, and it is
found also in slightly variant form
on the tongue of Pythagoras, Chic,
Cleobolus, Bias, Socrates. Juvenal
took it's origin from the human
realm when he says it descended
from heaven.
Carlyle wrote of cone life-a lit
tie CLEAN of time between two eter-
mites" Marcus Aurelius had writ
ten, F'Deem not life thing of con-
sequence, for look at the yawning
void of the future and at that other
imitless space, the past" The old
Saxon Bede ikened man in his
earthly life to sparrow flying out
of the dark night into the lighted
banquet hall for a moment only
and then out again into the black
and unknown night.
"To err is human, to forgive di-
vine," wrote Pope. Plutarch had
put it, 'For to err in opinion,
though it be not the part of wise
men, is at least human"
Tertullian in the second century
wrote that che who fees will fight
again" Goldsmith puts it:
For he who fights and runs away
May live to fight another day.
"To be prepared for war is one of
the most effectual means of pre-
serving the peace" is recognized as
belonging to George Washington.
Horace had said, ''In peace, as a
wise man, he should make suitable
preparation for war;" while Pub
Illus Syrus put it, owe should pro-
vide inspeace what we need in war;"

PARADOX Or WEAKNESS.
The Way q Crisis In Young Man's
Career Was Handled.

~&TSSi wac t'~"S'~
One dismal afternoon bank
president was surprised by knock
at the door Of his private office. A
young assistant cashier came in,
whose people and belongings the
president knew. The young fellows
face was pale, and his whole look
was harassed and anxious. After a
moment of nervous silence he blurt-
ed out: "I-I'm beginning to be
afraid of myself. The change is tre-
mendous from that small country
bank, where things are SO different.
The responsibilities are too great;
the opportunities to go astray are
are-greater still. | don't know
what has got into me, but it's like
temptation at my elbow toto
60 wrong. to try, just to see how
easy it would be. And-Im telling
you
The president had wheeled round
upon him and was regarding him
steadily. "You're leading. your life
too wholly and persistently along
one line," he said quietly. 'I'm nei-
Their afraid of you nor for you. Your
mind and thoughts are too closely
concentrated upon your work, and
they need to be diffused over Il
wider area of interests in order to
enable them to work well and with
ease to yourself at just this particu-
lar juncture. But you must let me
help you out. Report to me every
evening, no matter how late. That
will give you poise and tide you
over the day, SO that you need take
but one day at time and not keep
looking into far and fearful fu-
ture. And-1'm going to enter you
at the Country club-that's to be
between you and me-and | want
you to use it. You're getting your
sell on your mlnu.
Wasn't he wise, this president,
thus at moment to recognize the
paradox of weakness, the weakness
that felt itself tempted, the
strength that perceived the temp
tation and openly admitted it to self
and another? And was he not dou-
bly, wise thus to turn it to account ?
He knew there was fine material in
that young man, capacity and abil-
ity both, but he needed peculiar
help at just this time of his life and
work. That presidents charities
were many, his public spirit was un-
questioned, and such opportunities
for good as came in his way he
seemed amply to fulfill. But he also
knew that to stand face to face with
a soul and aid it at its most need is
a rare privilege, and he was making
that privilege good. And he took no
high ground. He did not seemingly
admit the full significance of the
moment. He did not further shake
the young mans will by implying
that there was great moral strain.
No; he dwelt rather upon painted
cloth of physical and mental monot-
ony in order to give the young fell
low time to regain breath and grip
and courage. Yes. it's great thing
to be able to use both for ourselves
and for others the strength of our
weakness and the weakness of our
strength.-Harper's Weekly.
