President Wilson has allowed his
name to go on the presidential pri-
mary ballot in the state of Ohio,
which is the first intimation made
by him that he would accept the
nomination for second term. This
does not bind him in any way to ap-
pear before the national convention
as receptive candidate next June,
and he allows it only to ascertain
the feeling of the Ohio democrats to-
wards his candidacy. We know about
'steen thousand patriots who would
throw twin spasms if the President
should slip word to the convention
that he would not consider or accent
the nomination if rendered him.
President Wilson has the happy fac
ulty of always doing what the public
least expects, and that he might once
more surprise the people of the Unit
ed States is not beyond the range of
possibility.

Backwards One
Big Playground

A plan which has been urged for
Brooklyn has been tried out in Man
haitian and found to work unexpect-
eddy well. This is throwing together
all the backwards in city block and
using the space 50 gained for park
or playground for all the families
abutling upon it.
The experiment in Manhattan has
been made with tenement block on
Tweney-fOurth Street, east of First
Avenue, and the space so created has
been fitted up as playground for all
the children ON the two blocks back
ing upon the yard The consent of
landlords and janit0rS was somewhat
difficult to obtain. bat now that the
playground is in operation the block
has become popular; there are fewer
vacant rooms and the landlords have
their reward. The acquiescence of
the janitors in the new order of things
seems to indicate that the children
have become less troublesome, now

Some Thirty years ago a resident OF
shoe manufacturing city in Massa-
chusetts, ira cling in GERMANY, wrote
a note like this: II am desiring OF
learning for myself whether it really
pays to advertise l am mailing this
LEI ter on such and such day. Please
advise me how long it takes you to
get it,"
He enclosed this note in an enve-
lope and on this envelope, with sutfi-
clent postage, pasted a picture cut
out OF an an American newspaper ad-
yertisement-- the portrait OF shoe
manufacturer who was then-and
still is-a very heavy advertiser
throughout the world. There was
not word of writing or printing on
the envelope, nothing to show whose
face was represented by the cut.
The letter was delivered at the
Massachusetts factory of the shoe
manufacturer in exactly the length
of time that would have elapsed II
the envelope had borne his full name
and address.
Postal clerks pride themselves on
their ability to deciphpr cryptic ad-
dresses, although it is wearing on the
clerk who Is working a car full of
mail on an overcrOwded run to come
upon an envelope addressed by some
joker whose endeavor seems to have
been to make Uncle Sam all the
trouble he could. 1t is safe to say,
however, that from the day of the in
cident recounted above to this one
any letter sent to a national or inter-
national advertiser who uses his por-
trait In advertising would 60 prompt
ly to his office even though it bore no
clearer address than his pictured face.

The company knows how much it can

their work is worth, so they should
be able to get together without any

Our Poor Condition

We do not recall time when the
United States was more criticised and
commiSerated at home than 1t is at
present. AS sign of mental unrest
this may he encouraging, for mental
unrest is often useful condition.
But the particular reasons for it are
rather obscure. There is no need to
remind you of what you see when you
look across the Atlantic. The broad
aspects of the view are fairly familiar.
When you look on this side you see a
large number of pc pie toddling about
their days work in as high degree
of peace and security as any human
society has yet achieved, with the
largest measure IF actual, essential
liberty that ever was known among
men. and, on the whole, in the high
est stale of material prosperity that
has yet been reached anywhere.
We think 1t Within the facts to say
that, whatever any individual man or
woman wants to do-from inviting a
friend to dinner, and having the din
ner, on up to inviting his soul into
any sort OF high enterprise-he has,
broadly speaking, the freest chance to
do it here that has ever been known.
Such is the net result to this writing
of tile European system is what you
see in the newspaper headlines every
day.
i Positively, no doubt, our condition
is poor and vile; but comparatively 10
! is not 50 bad Saturday Evening Post.

that they have a permitted outlet for
their energies. TIE one thing needed
to establish the complete success of
the experiment is a statement that
fewer children are run down in Twen-
ty-fourth and Twenty-hIth streets
than in the neighboring blocks. Even
that testimony cluld probably be OBJ
tanned If somebody would take the
trouble to make the necessary counts.

Helpful
Health Hints

Keep your teeth clean, and you cheat the
dentist; keep your food tube clean, and the
doctor is cheated.
One must make daily practice of wrong
living to remain an invalid, for Nature is
constantly at work throwing off disease
Skillful manipulations according to osteo-
pathic methods, by using the bony framework
of the body as levers and fulcrums, secure
tissue adjustment, when parts of the body
are out of order, and thus restore correct
position and action to its parts.
Food should be plain and simple By all
means, have variety, but let it be had at
different meals, rather than a conglomerate
mixture at each meal. Be good to your
stomach, and it will be good to you
