SPENDING TIME ON WHISPERS

stray spark OF the cigar. mufiiing them
from marauding winds! These also
are but the moral indexes of what
whiskers do to the calendar.
AS thief of time. really bumper
crop of whiskers may be said to make
procrastination look like a watch dog
of the treasury. There Is many man
who has devoted his whole mature
life to growing the finest beard in his
county. Indeed your true intensive
gardener of whiskers has a full work
ing day cut out for him every "a hours.
Occasionally a man can take suit
OF whiskers and let them alone. He
can forget them. But such person
is so rare as to be negligible. With
most men engaged in the industry the
beard gets on the mind. 1t gets into
the subliminal consciousness. 1t In
duces little reflex actions like fiddling
with a goatee, putting a Peking ducks
tail effect on a Van Dyke, raking with
the fingers the full patriarchal heritage.
How can men in this busy era spare
the time to shave? That's easy. Ten
or fifteen minutes day does the bus
mess. How can men in this busy era
spare the time not to shave?

tune, and then making use of a large
legacy which fell to him at the right
moment. On July 2, 1900, his first
ship made an ascent of IS minutes.
This craft was hardly successful and
brought ridicule rather than recogni-
ton. When his funds were about
gone. the count sent out in 1908 an
urgent appeal explaining that his
labors would be forever wasted unless
help was given at once.
A lottery brought funds for a new
ship, which was soon wrecked. This
seemed to end the matter, but Zeppe-
lin Immediately built third ship out
of his last funds; this had a decided,
but brief, success before it, too, was
destroyed. Then the German people
as a whole sprang to his aid and made
him a splendid present of over $1,000
900.
The confidence of his Fatherland
apparently has not been misplaced
and the count has made this war ma
chine one of the most dreaded forces
of modern warfare.

DRIVING OUT UNDEsIRABLEs

Located as the three cities are the
custom of driving out through threats
of arrest and Imprisonment hoboes
and other undesirables who, while
they have committed no crime are a
standing menace to the peace of the
neighborhood. does not afford relief to
the community as a whole What one
city gets rid of one Of the others ac-
quires by the same process and if all
three exercise equal vigilance none
is the gamer. Rock Island sends its
undesirables across the bridge to Day-
export and Davenport sends them
back, while the same operation takes
place between this city and Moline.
The welfare of the community as a
whole demands that a more satisfac-
tory plan of dealing with the prob
lem be devised. The weather will soon
be cold and the police stations will be
crowded nightly with buns"
And there is another phase Of the
situation which is touched upon in the
current number of the Joliet Prison
Post The poor specimens Of human
ity against whom the system works
have some rights. The Post brings out
this feature in this wise:
ut is a common practice in Cook
county In minor cases for judges of
the municipal court as well as for
justices OF the peace, to order a man
who Is brought before the court and
charged with a misdemeanor to leave
the city within a short time, usually
about twenty-four hours. We pass
lightly over the fact that there are no
state laws for such DEGREES to ask,
what right a seIfrespecting commun-
fty has TO unload fits miscreants upon
other communities? II the accused
man has done wrong the law fixes his
status. and directs what shall be done
with him On the other hand, il he
has done no wrong and is merely con
sidered an undesirable character, what
right has either Judge or magistrate
TO make threats as 10 what will be
done TO him unless he leaves the town
or city within q stipulated time? II
the courts OF every community should
follow the example set by the courts Of
COOK county many men would CON
stantly be driven from pillar to post.

The Bread and Milk Club.

a large number of the communica-
tons received from our readers place
us under a heavy responsibility. 1t
appears that they are holding CONVEX
sations, as the war dispatches would
say, with their stomachs. They desire
ton and endeavor to find terms of
peace.
In order to further the cause of
world peace we have instituted a sort
of fraternity which we will call the
Bread and Milk club. All healthy
dyspeptics-notice how we emphasize
the word healthy-all sound invalids
are entitled to join this club on max
ing a simple declaration of faith and
renouncing forever their Incorporate
habits. The initiate promises to eat
only what he wants and when ha
wants il, no matter who may be his
cook; and he SETS aside one day each
week, preferably blue Monday, upon
which he tries to exist on a diet OF
bread and milk There are no dues.
All you pay is "a hours respite per
week 20 your grateful stomach.
It Supports Life and confers HaPpi-
ness.
Bread and milk is the most natural
and most digestible combination of
nutritive elements one can INCEST. 1t
is good for babies big and little. 1t
doesn't remain in the stomach more
than three hours. Thus the stomach
gets a brief rest between meals, even
-.T-a ar~ic 1,Y,, ont nT-xf
four hours, as you should on blue
Monday. Crackers are just as good
as bread, if you prefer. Either COM
bination offers assurance of well be-
ing.
Some people imagine the heart is
the only organ that gets no rest,
whereas in truth the heart has a nice
rest between each beat. 1t rests fully
half the time. But the stomach is
kept pretty busy every minute. There
is nothing the average near-invalid
breads more than the idea of being
caught with an empty stomach. He
imagines that unless his stomach is
bullying with nourishment he is liza
BILE to collapse on the street or catch
cold or something. Even though he
be plethoric, bilious (over-fed) and
utterly without a desire for food, he
wastes no time in seeking the dinner
table as soon as the whistle blows.
Where High Tension Begins.
DR.. Osler realized fully what he was
saying and how his audience would
repudiate the charge when he declor
ed that most American free-born citi-
zens eat too much. He put il mildly
because he didn't wish to arouse the
ira of the profession he leads. He
was merely giving a general hint to
doctors on how to control the national
complaint, dyspepsia, and to the pub
lie on how TO avoid being chloroformed
by mistake. Osler knew very we'll
that high pressure has it's inception
in the stomach, then manifests itself
in the arteries, next on the heart, the
kidneys. and finally in the brain. He
launched the bare suggestion that we
eat too much. and left 1t for the edi-
tors throughout the country to point
out fits absurdity.
The Bread and Milk club, then, well |
comes candidates who are cons:itu- |
tionally addicted to criticising their |
food

The public having been prepared for
the shock it is thought safe to let it

county's debt which isn't-but, pshaw,
what's the use? The election was held
last Tuesday.

Hen Hick Saws

You still hear people bark back to
the days of barbarism while conscious
of what Is going on in Europe, yet in
the earlier times the only means OF
destroying life was with a rock or a
club.
You've probably noticed that an ar
gument on the liquor question offends
nearly as many people as does an ar.
gument over religion.
Fashions decree that skirts are to
be shorter appears 10 be proper when
everything is going up.
