ETIQUETTE IN EXCESS.

Superfiuous cOnventIonality is one
of the plaques with which the human
race is unduIy afflicted. Etiquette,
rightly interpreted, and an ethical
conception of our obligation in life
are necessary elements Of progress. In
making this concession we would warn
the extremists that there is a wide
difference to be noted between a prac-
teal observation of rational customs
and manners and a complete submis-
sion to an autocratic rule Of de-
meanor
The American people, taken as a
composite whole, possess very nervous
temperaments This fact tends TO
cause such a strain on the body and
mind that a general breakdown very
frequently results. Such a contin-
gency would more rarely obtain if we
refused to sacrifice natural instincts
relative to our behavior as members
of society in the interest Of an almost
idoliziny devotion to conventions.
1t behooves public health authori-
ties to exert every effort to educate
the public to the need of following the
simple life. so as to preclude the ne
cessity of taking tonics.
Common sense teaches us that there
is a happy mean, and when. through
steadfast endeavor, we have succeed
ed in discovering it. we viii be able
TO overcome the nightmare of super
fiuous conventionality. Meanwhile
we should take due cOgnizance of the
established fact that the truly beauti-
full and sublime are not found in out
ward displays and observances of form
and precedent. but rather in the inner
life OF the soul.
Let Us also remember the senti-
ments Of James Russell Lowell: Con
ventionalities are all very we'll in their
proper place. but they shrivel at the
touch Of nature like stubble in the
fire"

THE TELEPHONE NUISANCE.

There is one nuisance in this and
other large cities which has become
well-nish intolerable and something
should be done to end it. We refer
to the telephone hog" the person
who will hold long extended converse
tions on a party line. thus preventing
others who really have occasion TO use
the line from doing so.
Il had an experience of this sort
day or SO ago" most anyone might
say. speaking to the point. if they have
a party line This is the story: II de-
sired TO communicate with my wife

phone exchange. / kept ringing my
number at intervals Of a minute or

Il do not know the people who are
on the Ine-it is a 'two-story' line
but I do know that they are addicted
to long conversations which. judging
from such scraps as I hear when 7
pick up our receiver at home in an
attempt 10 get the line. are of such
absorbing moment as the discussion
OF new waist, the latest scandal IN
their set the charms OF their male
friends and matters OF similar i'm

We believe there is some rule Of the
company 10 prevent this hogging OF
party lires. but this rule appears
more hcnored in the breach than in
the observance. II is high time that
somethinS wa. done TO abate the
nuisance.

Short Talks on Advertising

calls for greater effort
If the aborer can't move stone he gets a crowbar
and block of wood he makes lever and the stone
moves. If the crOwbar is not long enough he gets
something longer-he does not give up-becauSe the

= The same way in business Trade is a stone the
funny thing is the lighter it gets the harder it is to
move, but it can be moved. You may have to have
