INTERPRETED CAREY WRONG


LY.-A few days ago 1 read an arti-
Gle in The Forum by Mr.. Carey cTiti-
Ching the American Socialist for de-
claTing itself opposed to some points
which Mr.. Cochran holds true. Go
ing down a few lines further l saw
that Mr.. Carey himself admits that
he does not believe everything Mr..
Cochran writes in The Day Book.
And yet he attacks the American So
cialist for something which he is do
ing himself.
The fact that Carey's first para
graph does not agree with his second
paragraph shows us beyond doubt
MS lack of sincerity. And not only
that, but that he is prejudiced and
inclined only to one side.
Now, Mr.. Carey, let me entrust to
you a secret worth knowing.
Wherever you are, whatever your
profession may be, whatever your
political faith may be, be it Repubi-
can, Democrat, Socialist or Prohibi-
ton, do not let your perjudice over
come your reason. In the name of
common sense, be reasonable. If you
are inclined to be biased, if you must
be prejudiced, then let your prejudice
work on the Examiner, American,
Herald, Tribune, Post and Journal,
and not against a fighting weekly
publication which is doing its utmost

Carefully Treat
 Children's s Colds

Neglect of ehildren's colds often lays the foundation of serious lung trouble. On the other hand, it is harmful to cont inu- ally dose delicate little stomachs with in- ternal medicines or to keep the children always indoors.
 Plenty of fresh air in the bedroom and a good application of Vick's 'Vap-O-Rub" Salve over the throat and chest at the first sign of trouble, will keep the little chaps free from colds without injuring their di. gestions. 25c, soc, or Sl.OO
