F'rankness is the art Of saying

be naturally straightforward.
Look the other fellow in the Eye.
In the same manner as a straight
line is the shortest distance between
two points, so is Franlness the only
right course between all people, Be-
cause nothing is wasted. The Frank
man is the man best to be trusted.
Look the other fellow in the Eye.
Frankness between Employer and
Employee, Frankness between a Man
and a Woman, Frankness between
yourself and the one who disagrees
with you, is the only sensible way.
Look the other fellow in the Eye.
For if you do, he will trust you.
And the beginning of mutual respect
is trust. No satisfactory result in
anything was ever achieved without
Frankness.
Look the other fellow in the Eye.
But Frankness is not Impudence.

Heart that challenges immediate ac-

Look the other fellow in the Eve.

you will marvel at the ease with
which other people will understand

ancestors can now be purchased for
million dollars. The great trouble
with these imported goods is the fact
that they are often badly infested
with descendants. Some Of the very
finest ancestors have been almost
ruined by these parasites and there
is no legal cure.
In England, everybody has ances-
tors. Some of them are over 1000
years old, and are still in a state of
excellent preservation, The best
American brand came over in the
Mayhower about 800 years ago.
Most of the better grades of Ameri-
can ancestors are now controlled by
trust, the Daughters of the Revo-
luton.
We should all be proud of our an
cestors, but not out loud.

Cows

Cows
Cows are what supply the basis
OF the milkman's justly-celebrated
product.
After the ripping rill or the
pump have put on the finishing
touches, the wagon starts.
Nearly every dairy has a COW or
so displayed prominently in the
pasture nearest the public road.
This is the sign of dairy, just
as pole Of varied spiral colors Is
the sign of barber shop.
BARRIERS used TO bleed people,
and cows used to be depended on
to supply milk.
Some dairymen cling to that old
fashioned and antiquated habit.
Any dairyman who gets sore
about this is a nice dairyman, and
we didn't mean him at all.
SO why should he stop his sub
scription and cuss the editor out?
When one approaches a COW for
one purpose or an udder, said cow
is requested Cat least she used to
be) to back her leg"
This is figurative. The COW is
ACdAiJ CAPCSiCd w 81 away with
three of her legs, leaving the off
hind one where it was
Then the squirtfest begins.
We well remember when we
were as nearly an innocent child as
we ever were, that we used to get
much pleasure out of milking.
Far more out of it, than In 1t.
We remember, With tears In our
beautiful eyes, an old seersueker-
colored cat who would rear up on
his hind legs, or hind up on his
rear legs, whichever way you pre-
fer to have it said, and open his
mouth while we milked large,
warm, juicy, creamy ftreams into
said orifice.
This feline target practice was
sometimes interrupted by our male
parent with large and macadam-
ICED barrel stave.
Country life is one of unalloyed
joy.
1t is nice to look back at it and
TO know that it will stay back there
and won't backfre on us, or re-
spond to any of our fool eneores.

4 How One Man Conducted His Rheumatism
BY WILLIAM BRADY, Md.

Ii = WAS sixty-two years OH, q
prosperous merchant, but sad

called Chronic rheumatism" All
the home doctors and all the best
men for miles around had tried their
hand. He had tried endless reme-
dies to no effect. His bank account
was the worse for many trip to the
noted mineral springs and health re-
sorts; yet the rheumatic" stuck,
and he became a pessimist and
smoked horrible nine-inch stogies.
Then one day he had one of those
accidents that people facetiously call
lucky He had an automobile acci-
dent, and In 1t broke a tooth. Other
wise the casualties were trifling.
The dentist strove valiantly to
save that broken tooth. Unfortu-
nately, however, it wasn't very
good tooth to begin with; it had a
little abscess at the root, the dentist
found. After some hesitation the
dentist decided to draw that tooth.
He did. He cleaned out the abb
scess cavity and finally discharged
the patient cured.

Within two months every vestige

fellow In the boot and shoe trade.
The sad part of 1t is that. he didn't
happen to be trying anybody's rheu-

What accounts for the cure?
The accident uncovered a septic

that was cleaned up there was no

COLUMBIA BARS FRESHMEN.

traditional stand In regard to eligibility
rules was taken yesterday. The com
mittee on athletics decided to bar here
after all freshmen from competing on

$" designated were football. crew. base
ball and track. As basketball was not
included. II appears that Columbia will
not comply with the decree issued by
the Intercollegiate Basketball League,
ei eliminating freshmen from playing on
Il varsity five.
\ second proviso that perhaps affects
q big percentage Of the Blue and White
athletes rules that no man holding a
degree from another university can
represent Columbia in any sport. This
bars all students in the graduate
schools, a field which has proved most
fertile in the past. Columbia's adopted
sons will have to play by themselves
hereafter.
The committee put into force another
rule which has been virtually in exist
cnce for a long time, that OF limiting a
mans participation In one sport TO
-four years The last two bylaws are
similar to those passed by the Inter-
collegiate Basketball League and indi-
cate that n compromise is desired.
