the politicians out of business, and

WARFARE WAGED BY YOUTH

Mexico the guerrilla warfare is car
ried on by boys who in a more ad-
vanced country would be i'm school.
1t IS probably true that since the days
when entire nations made profession
or nghting, lived by conquest, and
prospered by the loot they took, war
has been duty assigned always to
striplings.
III youth made war, there would be
less or gross immortality about it. But
youth is only the pawns Of the fight
ing, only the creatures to be shot
down, to be exposed to privation and
disease, to be laid open to the sins
ard temptations that trail in the wake

realized how little part the fighters
OF any war have with it's contriving.

wireless telephone. People aren't
paying any attention to business or
the other things that concern them.
They're fairly consumed by this in
explicable excitement. Abyssynia has

Captain MacManus leaned back and
chuckled heartily.

manded the operator. Il tell you it's
no laughing matter to sit still and
watch a whole nation go crazy this
way"

me back to the days OF my youth"

yes" said the captain, ''imagina-
ton. You see, political-campaignitis
isn't real disease. It really isn't
anything. It never was, not even
back in the old days of 1912 when it
used to be SO prevalent-before the
people got onto the joke of it. Polit-
ical-campaignitis really is nothing
more than a state of mind, halluci-
nation. The victim imagines that he
must get excited over name printed
on banners, must quarrel with his
best friend about the merits of the
men whose names are on the ban
ners, and otherwise behave like q
mailman. 1t is inspired by the agi-
tators who used to be known as poll
iticians. Of course there isn't any of
1t left now in the civilized countries,
but what you've been seeing and hear
ing from down in Abyssynia, where
they still refuse to turn their gov
eminent over to an efficient General
Manager, is a pretty good imitation
Of what that same disease used to
do to this United States of America,
in the days of my youth, around the
year 1912"
The operator laughed easily. do
you mean to tell me that this en-
lightened country ever went into con-
vulsionS like that?"
Il mean to tell you that, and it's
the TRUTH" retorted the captain. "You
must remember, my lad, that back
in 1912 this country was still in the
ground and water age. It was not
until many years after, when Came

was easier and cheaper to live in the

What Grandfather Says

Concerning horoscopes my grand father says that persons born near the middle of the day will be exceptionally fortunate. They will prosper in business and their lives will be active and well spent Girls born then will likely obtain
 husbands who will be either rich or above them socially. Persons born about midnight will likewise become distin- gu1shed and may acquire a large share or renown, but they need not look for such notable careers as their fellows who are born about noon. Fortune, too, will pass them by until after the thirteenth year. and until then they will attain no large publicity. After the thirtieth year, however, their talents will shine forth and many will honor them. Those born about sunset, if boys, will be successful in business If girls, they will be fortu- nate in marriage A CONSTITUENT ''

Cleaner for a Rug

Please. may I offer a suggestion in the way of cleaner for the rug for your correspondent, Mrs. w. H. "? This recipe I obtained from a chemist friend. I have used it on my delicate old rose. yellow and green rug. It positively will not fade or run, but will restore color: Dissolve one cake of white soap with 5 cents worth of hot (not boiling) water; keep luke warm. Pour small portion at a time into a basin and wash carpet with it, using a dry rag to wipe it off, fol- lowing the washing, in order to absorb all moisture, or as much as possible. This may be done on the floor and it will look beautiful. This is also fine for washing clothes, adding a cup of the above solution to the washer or boiler. If anyone in the Corner tries the recipe, will she please let me hear from her? l will send more good suggestions if you want them. l am a stranger in the little town that l live in.
