This was one OF the telling pas

his nrst real address since his nom
ination-which Charles Z. Hughes
made at East Hampton Tuesday
afternoon.
There were cheers when he de-
clared. 1T Is because we had men
who were willing to suffer. TO die,
to venture and to sacrifice that we
have a country, and 1t is only by
that spirit that we will ever be able

MEAT PRICES

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Meat
prices in the United States will con-

the United States department OF
agriculture declared today. An ex-
haustive worlds study OF meat con-
ditions has resulted in report by
department experts that the meat
supply everywhere Is not keeping
up with the demand.
The United States, the report
shows. has become an importing

although other meats are exported.
they are imported In greater guam

HERE'S CAT THAT
GOES FISHING

BOSTON. July 5.-Not content
with the ordinary yarns that are
spun by anglers, somebody at Han
cock, Md, sends out a tale about a
cat that goes fishing. AS every
body knows, the ordinary cat fears
il. but according to the Hancock
man the cat of which he talks and
writes wades into the adjacent creek,
adopts policy of watchful wait-
ing for fish to come its way, and
when this happens 1t grabs the mem
Der of the hnny family. Jugs 1t
ashore and then proceeds TO eat 1t.
A more imaginative narrator OF
fish stories would have embellished
the foregoing yarl with additional
details as to how, after getting its
prey TO the shore, the cat hunted
up some brush and wood, made
fire and cooked the fish before eat
ing il but the Hancock man wisely
rcfrains from putting such a strain
upon credulity.
Strangely enough. however, he
misses an opportunity 10 make his
story more striking. for he fails to
specify the sort " fish for which
the cat goes fishing. Such an intel
ligent cat must have preference
in matter so important as its daily
diet, so in the absence Of informa-
ton on this point II is reasonable
presumption that this unusual cat
catches catfish when 1t goes fishing.

Beauty Sleep Brings
A Clear, Fresh Skin

There are few fundamental laws
in regard to clear. fresh skin. The
first of these Is sleep. and, say what
you may, there is no better adage in
the English language than the old
rhyme of Early to bed" Too little
sleep leaves its traces ON the face as
clearly and definitely as if some demon
or nightmare had written It there with
pen and ink for all the world to read.
The eyes are heavy and dull, the
mouth sagging. faint lines appear
around the mouth and eyes, and the
skin. instead OF being fresh and pink.
is of grayish hue. Not only is there
a physical effect, but the mental result
produces irritability, nagging temper
and nervousness which go far to-
ward producing wrinkles and crows
feet"
1t should be remembered that one
hour of sleep before midnight is worth
two after. Eight hours sleep is suffi-
cient for the average adult; those who
do brain work require more. Let your
room be filed with fresh, cold air
the colder the better-and see that
the bedclothing is neither too heavy
nor to- light.-Sperry' Magazine.

OPPOSES ONE-MAM SYSTEM
Writer Tells of Danger in Allow
ing Nobody to Work but
Father

Kindly disposed persons who are in
terested in the prevention OF eternal
consequences should take note Of the
fact that our most priced institution.
the family, has gone far enough in its
exploitation of fathers earning abil-
ity. Only within the last half century
or so has it been the practice for one
lone member of the family to grab
enough of the worlds goods to support
all the others in idleness and social
hilarity. 1t hasn't been long since
mother and the boys regularly took
a hand in getting, and occasionally
even the girls helped out q little.
Attention is also called TO the fact
that the one-man system of support is
only an experiment. 1t is subject TO
change without notice, and without
quarter. Honest. simpleminded folk.
and all others. are warned that there
will doubtless be a little weeping and
gnashing OF teeth when the break
comes. II we don't take care there
may be considerably more than little,
dreams may have to be resorted to.
says 4 writer in Judge.
Some OF the more excitable friends
OF man say that il is high time that
our sons and daughters be provided
with something other than advantages.
and that they be taught TO expect
something besides allowances and
patrimonies. Alarmists are foresee-
ing all sorts of dire conditions-a race
of spineless dependents, trying to col
lect the living that some fool has
said the world owes them not being
the least of such conditions. Al
though II will not be so bad as that.
we may with propriety start a mod
est preparation, by making 1t fell
ony for parents to provide their chill
dren with nothing but advantages. We
may thus in some measure alleviate
the misery OF tomorrow.
