stars Enouoh for All Of Us.

When Emerson advised everybody
to hitch his wagon to g star, 1t was
thought the advice was impracticable
that there were not stars enough to
go around. At that time there were
only three or four thousand stars Wis
ible, which number was far short Of
the demand. But when maps of the
skies were made with the assistance
of the telescope and camera, it vas
found there were 55,000,000 stars-not
yet quite enough for all. These stars
were below the seventeenth magni.
tude, which was as far as the optical
instruments would reach, but since
then the twenty-fourth magnitude
stars have been brought to view, and
now the number of stars is estimated
at 1 1000, 600, 900. So there will need be
no trouble about it. There is a star
for every wagon, and a FEW left for
unborn generations. So hitch your
wagon to a star, and don't delay. The
times demand it.-Ohio State Journal.

at it, there have been a hundred fail
ures. Any medicine which has no
merit cannot live, because persons
who are duped into buying it once will
not buy it again, and the profit from
advertising a medicine can only come
from repeat sales to the same, salts
fed people. Therefore, any medicine
which has been on the market for a
number of years, and is still, adver-
tised, must have merit behind it to ac-
count for its
In conclusion Mr.. Balliett declared
that no newspaper is doing Justice to-
it's readers, in the matter OF medical
or other advertising, unless it investi-
gates, not only the wording of the adj
vertfsement offered for publication,
but the merits of the article adyer-
tised. He pointed out that the few
newspapers who have been deiuded
into the policy Of barring out medical
advertising have adopted this general
policy, rather than to form an invesr
tigation bureau OF this kind which
could, in a constructive and useful Ell
fort, investigate and decide what is
a good product and what is a fraNd!-
in not only the medicine business, but;
In every other business which adver-
tises it's wares to the public.
The audience seemed to agree withs
Mr.. Balliett's ideas on the subjec' and
the chairman decided the question at
issue in his favor.

The Bauer of Austria.

The most interesting of Austrian
types and the backbone of the dual
monarchy, is the bauer" In social
rank he occupies somewhat the same
farming his own land. and in many
cases enjoying a far more substantial
fortune than the nobility. The "bauer"
has a strict social code of his own,
mixing neither with the laborers on
one hand nor the ar%istocracy on the
other, is apparently quite content with
his lot, and takes pride in his ability
to provide almost all the n~ecessaries
Of life from the productions of his own
land, even, in many cases., growing the
flax from which his womenfolk weave
all the household clothing.

Ambition requires a great deal ana

The fact that you have an almost
uncomfortable impulse, a great alb

meets with the approval Of your judg-
ment and your better self, is a notice
served upon you that you can do the
thing, and should do it at once.

"WHY CAN'T | DO ITW THE AN

Spartan mothers, in order to stimu
late their ambition, used to take
their boys to the Pantheon in Athens,
where their young imaginations
would be fired by the sight of the
statues of the nations gods and
heroes. Standing before one of those
heroic marble figures, the mother
would tell the story of the original,
while boyish hearts would sparkle
with awakened ambition under the in
%spiration of her words, Many a young
mind was thus fired to emulate the
hero hat particularly appealed to
him.
No other one thing is of such pre-
cious help to a youth as to be con-
stantly stimulated along the line Of
his career, and nothing else will give
him such inspiration, nothing else is
so ambition-rousing as the life-stories
of those who have accomplished
things under great difficulties.
Emerson says. Il cannot even hear
of personal vigor of any kind, great
power of performances, without fresh
resolution. This is the moral
of biography"

DEFENDS POPULAR REMEDIES
Speaker Says Newspapers Should In
vestigate Merits of Medicines Be-
fore Barring Advertisements.

That an organized attempt has been
made to blacken the reputation of the
popular family remedies of this coun-
try, and to mislead the newspaper
publishers into rejecting the adver-
Using OF such medicines, was the
charge made by Carl j. Balliett, of
Buffalo, N. Y, at the convention of the
Advertising AffIiation at Detroit,
Mr.. Bal1iett is a director of the Pro
prietary Association OF America, which
includes in its membership two hun
cred firms which make the popular
prepared medicines of America.
Mr.. Balliett pointed out that it is
the duty of the newspaper publisher
to refuse the advertising of any fake
or fraudulent medicine, just as 1t is
his duty to refuse any fake or fraudu-
lent advertising, but it is not right to
shut down on all medical advertising
because there have been some takers,
any more than it would be right to
refuse to publish all department store
advertising because certain stores
have made a practice of lying about
bargain sales.
Disease and death are mysteries.
People who are perfectly well are
sk%epticai. They laugh at the time
worn patent medicine joke, just as
they laugh again and again over the
many variations of the operation joke
THE operation was a success but
the patient died" This so-called hui
NOR has perhaps hurt the medicine
business with well people, but when
the hitherto healthy MAJ feels a Sc
we're pain or illness, he Immediately
wants medicine, and will bless the
cure whether it be at the hands of a
regular doctor, a ~homeopath, an osteo-
path, a Christian Scientist or patent
medicine. There is nothing more
deadly than disease; nothing more
honorable than to cure 1t.
Mr.. Balliett refuted the idea sought
to be spread about that patent medi-
cines are unpopular by showing that
from 1900 to 1912 the amount OF pre-
pared medicines consumed in America
increased from $780, O0, 900 to $780,
100000 annually. He showed that, al
though the American Medical Associ-
alton is trying as an organization to
exterminate so-called patent medi
cines, the family doctor, individually,
is not fighting them but prescribing
them. He estimated that 1919 of the
prescriptions written by doctors today
include proprietary medicines.
The writings of DR.. Harvey w. WI
ley, he said, have also aimed to de.
stroy confidence in proprietary medi-
cines; but hat DR.. Wiley's ideas are
not infallible is shown by cases where
his analyses We're entirely wrong. Mr..
Balliett mentioned a case where, with
all the power of the Government, he
fought a preparation as being danger
Gus to health. and was ingloriously
walloped.
There mas been spread the idea that
a clever faker can mix a few useless
ingredients and, by smart advertising,
sell tons of it and win sudden wealth:
whereas, as a matter of fact, the medi-
cine business is VIGOROUSLY difficult.

BURKE IS DEFEATED
DAKOTA sENAToRsHiP WON BY
ED s.. JOHNSON, DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE.
HAS MARGIN OF 5000 VOTES
Losing Candidate Sends Congratula-
tons to His Successful Rival-Gan-
dy, Democrat, Chosen to Congress
in Black Hills District.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Pierre, s.. D.-After hearing from
the northern and western counties OF
the state, which were expected to give
a strong Burke vote and failed, Con-
gresham Burke announced that Ed 5.
Johnson, Democrat, for the senate,
would have a safe majority OF 5000,
and wired his congratulations to
Johnson.
Burke says his defeat was due to
several causes, overconfdence being
one and the evident intent OF the west
river counties outside Of the Black
Hills to defeat Rice, carrying with it a
Johnson vote.
While the Republicans carry con-
gressional districts One and Two,
electing Dillon and Johnson, the
Democrats have captured the district
in the Black Hills, Candy winning
over Rice in practically every county
of the district outside of Lawrence.
Gov. Byrne and the state Republican
ticket lead by from 5000 to 10000
plurality.
Royal Johnson will have a major
ity of 10000 in the Second district
for congress-, while Byrne will carry
this district by approximately 5000.
In Perkins county twenty out OF
ffty-two precincts give Candy, $50;
Rice, 1929, for congress. Johnson, 4OS,
and Burke, 2S7, for senate. Byrne, 343,
and McCarter, 313, for governor. The
Democrats carried the county.
Burke has majorities in the follow
ing counties: Campbell, 800; Nc
Pherson, 500; Corson, 27; Dewey, Z;
Walworth, 125. Roberts county gives
Burke a majority of $50: Byrne, $50;
Royal johnson, 400. Brown county
complete, except one precinct, gives
Byrne, ALA; McCarter, 1869; Royal
johnson, 1854; Kink, 1853; Burke,
