Courtesy"

f. Dana Durand whose retirement as director
OF census at Washington was the basis OF an at.
tack by Mr.. Hughes on the Democratic admins
tration now comes 10 the front with a naiyely
frank confession.
Says Mr Durand Il resigned as a matter Of
courtesy. when the Wilson administration came
In. but my retirement was a forced one. how
ever as wanted 20 keep my place"
Now that's real pathetic.
He wanted 10 keep MS place" but courtesy"
forced him TO resign.
The same kind OF courtesy which has forced
thousands and thousands OF worthy government
EN- ployeee-iots OF them women-to tear up their
neal tickets when Republican administration
succeeded a Democratic administration. and vice
versa, ever SINCE the politicians first recognized
the potency OF the federal patronage club.
It's the courtesy" Of the spoNs system Robin
Hood courtesy. Guess DUrand would have
kicked like a bay steer II his Democratic pre-
decessor had failed In that same courtesy"
We feel sorry for Mr.. Durand. but he is Just
che Of very large and very unhappy family.

A Shame and a Disgrace
and, Incidentally, a Tip
For the Board of Health!

'The Belle Isle bath house is the filth

Calling us on the phone, that is what
q Detroit woman told The Times
And then she went on:
II went over to the bath house with
my child. 1t was my first visit. l will
never go again.
II had stood with my child in line for
q half hour when it started 10 rain.
There was no shelter for the line, which
was broken when the rain began TO fall
in torrents, and when it again formed |
was farther back than when l first took
my place. 1t began to rain again and
again the line was broken 1t took me
an hour and half to get in and buy my
tickets.
THE floor of the dressing room was
shiny and the room stunk.
'The suit / was given was damp, not
having had time to dry since it was
used last.
The bathing was fine, but on coming
out could get only one towel for myself
and child
Two other women with two children
came up as stood there and could get
only one towel for their entire party
"'Do you mean to say that we can
have only one towel for all of US, and
this one damp, at that?' asked one Of the
women.
That's all there Is for you: move on.

The Ministry of Death
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank 'rane)

Take off your hats The mans dead
You've hunted him over the hills,
tracked him through the woods. waited
for him at his home followed him from
hiding place to hiding place, and now
you've got him. He lies there with star
ing eyes, his arms outspread a ragged
hole in his breast, moveless, quiet, harm
less as wood-dead!
SO take off your hats! He was a Grim
inal a thief, a murderer, lowest Of men.
yet he was a human being. an immortal
soul a creation of the infinite God. Alive,
he was despised Dead, he is a solemn
thing, sacred as a church.
Against death all our hate, our vim
dictve pursuit, our violence, stop, and
are beaten back scattered into thin air
as the ocean wave stops, dashed TO foam
against the rocky cliff.
Death is the one sanctity that all
men respect, the one gesture that mets
the hardest, the one awe that appalls the
most impious.
Life may be sordid and cheap in the
living of it; when it departs the mark it
leaves is always majestic.
At death the mysterious beauty Of
eternity suffuses the coarse face of time.
Death is the great democrat, fate's
mock at our aristocracies and high
mightinesses.
nJe ,,lo,. l;ccr,,- ho
winds along the crowded street. dead
general is going to his tomb in the pam
theon. Over in n narrow back street the
undertaken is loading paupers body in
field. Famous general and obscure pau
per must crawl through the same mar
row wicket gate where all earthly honors
and possessions are removed from them,
and must stand naked before the Judge.
Death is the one priest whose words
are needed. In death is that one stroke
Of common sense that annihlates our
folly.
1t is the one shrewd move Of nature
that checkmates our supreme wisdom,
battles our schemes.
Without death we could not under
stand life. For life's evil institutions are
700 venerable. its senseless customs too
iron. its manias too intense, its passion
revers too fierce so that, unchecked by
deaths cool reasoning, life would speed
.ly become whirlwind of fury.
Death is the one preacher Of righteous
ness, nobility, mercy charity and JUS
tice, whose lips cannot be stilled,
Life has forgiveness, which is good;
but death has forgetfulness, which is
better.

THIS WILL INTEREST
STOMACH SUFFERERS
Says indigestion comes from an Excess
hydrochloric Acid.

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion is
nearly always due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lfeve, from a lack of digestive juices.
He states that an exec Of hydro
chloric acid 4 the stomach retards d.
gestion and starts food fermentation,
then our meals sour like 1arbage in
can, forming acrid fluids and gases
which initiate the stomac:. like a toy
balloon. VIC then get that heavy.
lumpy feeling in the chest we eructate
sour food, belch gas, or have heart
burn, flatulence, water-brash, or nau-
sea.
He tells us to lay. aside al digestive
aids and instead, get from any ihaf-
macy four ounces : Jad Salts and
TAX a tablespoonful in q glass of
water before breakfast while it is eff
fervescing, and furthermore. to con-
tinue this one week. While relief
follows the first dose, it is important
to neutralize the acidity, remove the
gas.making mass, start the liver, slim.
ulate the kidneys and thus promote a
free flow of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
! juice, combined with lithfc md sodium
| phosphate. This harmless s"lts is used
by thousands of people for stomach
trouble with excellent results.-Adv
