Land titles, according to ]. F.
Hecht and other Torrens league men,
are much like money and postage
stamps and their production and GER
LITIGATION should be a government
function. The guarantee policies of
private companies are discussed by
Hecht in Cook County Real Estate
board quarterly:
"The Torrens system is opposed
by ignorance and selfshness. No
title companies can take its place.
The title companies flourish because
they furnish a sense Of security and
undertake the responsibility of pro-
tecting their clients against possible
attacks upon titles. The very exis-
tence of the companies and the char
acters of their guarantees prove the
dangers in the deeds they furnish.
Their guaranty adds not one iota to
the security of the title they sell.
"Only the state can guarantee. Ar
gument that a state title is not indie
feasible, while that of private COM
pany is absolute, is apparent. The
title companies arrogate to them
selves guarantees that they deny to
the power of the state.

choice is between two titles. One is

county standing behind it and prom

The secret Of keeping young is to
feel young--to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels-there's no need
of having a sallow complexion-dark
rings under your eyes-pimples--a bill

no sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per
cent Of all sickness comes from inactive
bowels and liver.

Literature - Characters
Swear Without Hesitation.

ITO the question. IL literature
growing better or worse? the same
trite answer may be given that is usu-
ally given to the same trite question
with regard to the world" said the
Rev. w. o. Stovail in his address be-
fore the Ministerial association today.
That is that perhaps the bad is get
ting worse and the good is getting bet
ter. That means that it Is so large a
question that definite conclusion is
impossible
There is not much literature pro.
duced simply for its own sake. The ro-
mancers have given way almost en-
tirely to the realists. It is the day of
the propaganda and the problem-sol-
vers. The social, industrial and relig-
ious questions of the day are present
more extensively and more effectively
in the form of stories than in treaties.
Appeals to Morbid.
'Some of the literature seems to be
only morbid. The writer's take adyan-
tage of the occasion and under pre-
tense of handling some problems put
into circulation that which gains eur
rency only because it appeals to the
morbid in humanity. Some one has
said that too often those who write on
the wages of sin give most of their
space to the destinations OF the sinful
career. One of the most insidious
things in all literature is the portray
al of gay and raEish career through
lobster palaces, joy rides and salacious
dances, that ends in a mischance
which the unsophisticated youth is
certain that he could have avoided.
"Then there are those stories whose
writer's seem to have honestly intend
ed to add something to the solution
of a real problem, but the point of view
has been such as to make the effect
dangerous.
Stories Degrade Women.
"In regard to the unequal standards
to which society has held men and
women, sometimes champion of the
woman, trying to equalize the require
ments, lowers the standard of the
woman, instead Of raising that Of the
man. This type of literature does not
ask society to deny the man anything

WHAT TO DO FOR
ITCHING SKINS

Eczema, ringworm and other itch
ing, burning skin eruptions are so cas-
lily made worse by improper treatment
that one has to be very careful. There
is one method. however, that you need
not hesitate to use, even on baby S
tender skin--that is, the resinol treat
ment. Resinol is the prescription of a
Baltimore doctor, put up in the form
of resinol ointment and resinol soap.
This proved so remarkably successful
that thousands of other physicians
have been prescribing it constantly
for 20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption
Quickly and at little cost. Resinol oint-
ment and resinol soap can be bought
at any druggist's.-Adv.

What is Mr. Bryan up to anyhow?
That is the question that about every
body is asking just at the present time.
Is he playing what he believes to be
a smooth political game? For Mr..
Bryan is a politician all the time, and
a statesman none of the time. He re-
signed from the cabinet at a time when
a loyal supporter of the administration
should have stuck faithfully to the
ship and contributed all the aid at his
command to assist his chief out of a
pending crisis in the affairs of state.
He made the plea that the president
note to Germany was not sufficiently
conciliatory, and yet that note was
Couched in such courteous words of
friendship that the most rabid pro
German could not find grounds for
fault. There must be some other and
deeper reason for the attitude of the
secretary of state than the claim that
the note was too hostile, and time will
probably reveal hat reason. Mr.. Bry-
an is posing as an advocate of peace
at any price, and any sign of firmness
ON the part of the president shocks
his sensitive soul. Fortunately at the
present time, when relations are
strained with foreign countries, every
body wants peace, and are unfolding
the president in his efforts to adjudi-
cate the differences with Germany
peacefully. Yet few care to have the
country placed in the same class with
China in order to avoid war. Mr..
Bryan has something up his sleeve.
When he plays to the gallery it is time
to be suspicious. Is it possible that
he believes that his cringing attitude
will place him in a position to be an
available candidate for president next
year? Whatever his object it can
hardly be said that ne has touched
the popular chord. 1t is evident from
general expressed opinion of the peo-
pie one meets and the criticism Of
the press that the once distinguished
leader is rapidly losing his former
prestige and popularity with the Amer
lean people, and especially among the
is Bryan has been far overestimated
by his blind followers, and his \true
calibre is exposed in his recent atti-
tude toward the president. He was a
mistit in the high office that he pre-
tended to fill The Chatauqua circuit
is about his size; craftsmanship is be-
yOnd his grasp.
