DARK DAYS IN ALL LIVES
Can Be Only Temporary, and Cheer
ing Thought Is That the Sun viii
Shine Again.

How cheering it is to see the sun
come out after days of storm and
cloud. All the while the weather is
gloomy you know that the sun will
shine out again in his glory, with
fresh strength and life. 1t is like a
gift newly bestowed on the earth.
So in life there come stormy days
and dark days. Remember that they
will pass just as surely; they cannot
last forever. You are disappointed in
something, and perhaps that particu-
lar wished-for joy will never come to
you. But it may be that something
else just as good is on the way, some
thing even better, it may be. Sorrow.
and disappointment are assuaged with
time, and other things enter into life
that make it good, even as the clouds
break up and float away and the softer
light shines through at sunset. So
there is always a worse that might
have been.
The dark days are for introspection,
for remembering that few troubles are
as heavy as they seem. Sunny days,
better things, are at hand that will
come with cheer and healing like the
welcome rays of the sun.-Milwaukee

To Avoid "CoIds.D

few points to remember if you
would avoid taking cold: Never go
directly from a very warm atmosphere
into very cold air. Don't jump from
an overheated room into an ice-cold
bed on sleeping porch Remove
your wraps when shopping indoors on
a cold day or when visiting. Don't
bundle up the throat, but don't ex-
pose the whole chest. Seventy degrees
should be the highest temperature in
your living rooms or Offices Don't
oyerexert. then expose yourself to in
lection in draft or in a hot room
that is probably full of disease germs
Keep your vitality at par, avoid
people with bad colds, and you will
probably get through the bad seasons
with not more than a snifiie or so."-

Solving a Problem.

The arithmetic lesson that day had
been hard and trying, and now, at
the closing hour. Tommy stood before
the teacher. waiting to hear results.
Your last problem was wrong,
was the verdict. You will have to
stay after school and do it again ("
Tommy looked at the clock Tell
me, please, how much am l out?" he
asked
Your answer is two cents short
Tommy's hand dived into the peck
ct where his most treasured possess
stons were stored. Swiftly he sep
arated two pennies from a bunch of
shoestrings, penknife and some
marbles and pieces of chalk.

HANGED, BUT NEVER BURNED
Popular Idea Of Treatment Of New
England Witches" Is Altogether
Delusion.


Paying its respects to the New
England conscience as ghost that
will not down, the New York Herald
revives myth that Will not down
when it says: AT such wholesome
sport as withdrawing the New Eng
land conscience was never known to
shy"
There were a score or SO of indi-
viduals hanged in connection with the
Salem witchcraft delusion, but none
was burned Yet the popular tradi-
ton persists, and no doubt will live
on when even Gallows hill itself is
forgotten. Trevelyan said in sub
stance that though a mistake of his
tory may die out, if it has survived
100 years it can never be corrected.
Certainly all the documentary proof
to the contrary has not served to cor
rect this particular myth in more than
two centuries and doubtless 1t will
be believed while the Sacred Cod
hangs in the state house at Boston
In no branch of historical research
has there latterly been more pains
taking work than in dispelling the in
accuracies of popular history-in
giving new certificates of character to
Neros, undertaking the Fathers of the
Republic and removing the haloes
from the great. Yet the more the
record is set straight the more the
old myths endure.

GRAND JURY TO

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

YOUNGSTOWN. Ohio. Jan. 10.- The opening of the grand jury in- vestigation of the strike and rioting in East Youngstown, the resumption of work at the plant of the Youngs- town Sheet and Tube Company and the ordering home of the Fourth reg iment of the Ohio National Guard were the developments in the situa- tion here today.
 Quiet prevailed in the vicinity of the tube works and employees who re- ported for duty today were not mo- tested. There were no pickets in ev- idence and the belief was expressed by county officials tonight that the crisis in the situation had passed.
 Many witnesses were examined by the grand jury during the day. but according to prosecuting attorney A. M. Henderson, no report will be made until the latter part of the week.
 Thomas H. Flynn. general organ izer of the American Federation of Labor issued statement tonight in which he charged that the rioting here last week was financial scheme to, depress the value of the stock of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company so that a merger of independent steel interests can he effected.
 Two federal investigations also were started here today. George A West of Washington, D.

Not Yet in Old Capital

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10.-Restora : tion Of the old capital as the seat of government in Mexico apparently has been postponed indefinitely. Advices both to the state department and to the Mexican embassy here indicate that General Carranza will remain for weeks and probably months at Queretaro. making that place his headquarters, as he formerly did Vera Cruz
 Military and civilian chieftans of the defacto government are gathered at Queretaro for general conference called by General Carranza Dis patches to the state department to- day announced the arrival there of General Obregon and other leaders
 IL is expected that after the con- ference will come the announcement of a new cabinet.
 While the military situation in Mex leo has been simplified hy the sur render of the principal Villa forces it still is far from cleared up and the de facto government has only fairly started the task of pacification. AL most no hope now is held here that Villa will leave the country. and some of the reports received indicate he is having some success in gathering to- gether a number of the leaders of in- dependent bands yet operating ir western Mexico.
 The recent capture of Gomez Pal achio by Benjamin Argumedo is no regarded by the American government as of great importance. nOtwithstand. ing it is a suburb of the importan railway center of .Torreon.
 Argumedo's appearance n the north however, has aroused interest here be cause his personality and record i, such that it is feared he may fill tn, vacancy as a popular rebel leade created by the collapse of Villa. Th' fact that he is popular with the Za pata element also is considered dangerous factor.

SUPREME COURT SAYS DRUG
 LAW STRIKES AT MEASUREMENTS

ment officials that the 1906 pure food law designated as misbranded drugs or medicines which were accompanied in interstate commerce by knowingly false statements about the curative ef- fleets of the compounds. The supreme court decided however that the 1908 law applied only to misbranding as to the identity or composition of drugs.
 In response to message from President Taft, congress in 1912 en- acted the Sherley amendment, which the supreme court held today struck precisely at misstatements either on the label or in printed circulars accom- panying medicines.
 "We find no ground" said Justice Hughes, flor saying that congress may not condemn interstate transportation of swindling preparations accompanied by false and fraudulent statements as we'll as lottery tickets"
 The justice held that congress had not entered the field of difference of opinions between schools and pract- tioners but had merely sought to ex- clude false and fraudulent" state ments from interstate commerce. He held the law was not speculative in it's nature, because an intent to deceive was a fact as susceptible as other facts in every day life.
 The decision was announced in the case of a Chicago drug concern which shipped medicine from Chicago to Omaha, described in an accompanying circular as a compound which it knew
 had cured and would cure tuberculosis. The government proceeded under the Sherley amendment to confiscate the product and the Nebraska federal dis trict court condemned the shipments. | The action was affirmed today by the supreme court.

United States and Germany Agree On Essential Prin- ciples Involved and Only Details Are Holding Up Final Adjustment
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Difficulty in agreeing upon details is holding up final settlement of the Lusitania con- troversy. Count von BernStorff, the German ambassador and Secretary Lansing had another conference today and it was said later that no final agreement had been reached, although the outlook was encouraging.
 While the United States and Ger many virtually have agreed upon the essential principles involved it was learned tonight that until a method of expressing these principles satisfac- tory to both sides is found, announce ment of a settlement will be withheld.
 Count vOn Bernstorff was informed in effect by Secretary Lansing during today's conference that the wording of the tentative proposal submitted last week by Germany, and since consider ed by President Wilson, was made quate in certain respects.
 A feeling of optimism regarding the ultimate outcome of the negotiations apparently prevails both in official and Teutonic diplomatic circles. It is free ly predicted that a settlement accept able to both governments should be reached by next Monday, unless un- fOreseen events intervene.
 By Monday Count von Bernstorff should receive reply to a dispatch prepared tonight for the Berlin foreign office. This is believed to contain the results of his latest efforts, and sug- gestions regarding certain desires of the United States to be embodied in the final settlement
 These suggestions, it was authorita- lively stated, had to do solely with questions involved in the subject of re- prisal and the British blockade of Germany, which the United States and Germany both declare to be illegal.
 Consideration of public opinion in the United States and in Germany is un- derstood to be playing an important part in hastening a settlement. Ger many contends that the destruction of the Lusitania was an act of reprisal and while deplOring the fact that Americans lost their lives in the com mission of the act, she considers pub lie opinion in Germany would ad- versely criticise any action that would admit the illegality of torpedoing the vessel, under the circumstances.
