Two VerdiCtS

She was woman, worn and tnln,
Whom the world condemned for single sin;
They cast her out on the kings highway,
And passed her by they went to pray.
He man, and more to blame,
But the world spared him breath of shame,
Beneath his feet he saw her lie,
But raised his head and passed her by
They were the people who went to pray
At the temple of God on holy day.
They scorned the woman forgave the man;
1t was ever thus since the world began
Time passed on and the woman died,
On the Cross of Shame she was crucied,
But the world was stern and would not yield,
And they buried her in the POtters Field
The man died too and they buried him
In casket of cloth with silver rim,
And said as they turned from his grave away
I'VE have buried an honest man today.
Two mortas knocking at Heavens gate
Stood face to face to inquire Their fae
He carried passport with earthly sign,
But she pardon from Love Divine
OF ye who judge twixt virtue and vice,
Which, think you entered Paradise?
Not he who the world had said would win,
For the woman alone ushered in.

to sufficiently nourish both body and

Everythins that the people nave I'VE
= INV is going up in price, WIN
promises of further advances Ill 'ne
near future
There is no telling when the war
i E,,rope is going to stop. Until
tbatwar does end many prices are
scino TO remain high, and even 60
I,6,xher as the wal continues.
Added to this is the present
dan6er that this country may De-
so'ne involved in war with Ger
many If that happens, look out
Ia hish prices on the actual neceS-
sitIes of life.
ii these turbulent times no one
can tell what a year, half-year,
II eyen month may bring forth
W. know there is legitimate
raaaop for an advance in the price
many articles which the people
called upon to buy, but there is
lie room for suspicion that
hufacturers of this country are
Ipe advantage of the times and
\ are raising prices unnecessarily in
In1ny instances.
However, there seems to be no
SItyentative for this, and the man
ufscturer will continue to reap his
harvest at the expense Of the con-
sumer.
Prices will never be reduced so
. lone as there is the semblance Of
|excuse for prices to remain up IN
the air.
The best thing all the people can
do Is to prepare, as best they can,
ID rneet conditions over which they
have no control.

There is no way to beat many

c6mpliShed in that direction il ev-
man on the farm will first pro-
X Vic a living for his family and his
Gt0Ck at home

regret before the year is gone,
whether conditions throughout the
country materially change or not.

There is a whole lot of wisdom
and common sense in some of the
courts after all. A Kentucky Cir
cult court gave $500 damages to a
man who got the "Stuffin" kicked
out of his body when he stepped up
behind another mans mule and
struck the animal with whip.
The supreme court reversed that
decision, holding that The mule
would have been untrue to itself
and false to every tradition OF its
breed if it had kept its heels on the
ground" That is plain enough, and
the only wonder is that the jury in
the circuit court was not so famil-
lar with a mules legal rights.

The price of print paper has ad-
vanced thirty per cent very lately,
and paper dealers give out the none
too encouraging report that prices
are apt to be raised another thirty
per cent, if not more, within the
next few months. Everything
else consumed in the print shop
has been similarly advanced in
price, until now no newspaper can
maintain its subscription list ex-
cept at a loss, when the number of
subscriptions every paper is unable
to collect during the year is taken
into consideration. This is cold
fact, as every newspaper man will
testify.

WALKS 1000 MILES TO
REGAIN HIS HEALTH
When Doctors Seem to Be Giving Up
Hope He Handles Own Case and
Resorts to Walking.

Davenport, Ia.-Robert Sindt, thirty
five years old, was facing physical
breakdown last fall. The doctors did
not hold out much hope for him. He
is a pretty good sized man when in
robust health, but his weight had drop
ped to 135 pounds.
"Ill doctor my own case and fresh
air will be my first prescription" de-
cided Sindt
SO he started walking. Not to any
destination in particular, but just jog
ging along as far as he felt like going
every day. He started to walk in Au-
gust Recently he arrived at San Diego,
Cal, having walked 1884 miles in that
time.
His prescription Of fresh air, along
with the accompanying exercise, has
worked wonders, and his weight has
gone up fifteen pounds. It's all solid
bone and muscle, too, now
Sindt has become q de Eotee of walk
ing and has started out Oh new trip
to Washington. He pays his own way
and adopts none of the minor CRAFTS
usually employed by professional pc
deStrians.
While on his long jaunt Sindt made
study of the effects Of various foods,
and he has arrived at the conclusion
that the old fashioned staple-beans-
just about tops the list in the way Of
affording nutriment. He drinks great
deal Of water every day. He sleeps in
the open air most Of the time.
Sindt has averaged 1913 miles every
day since he started on his health
pilgrimage.
