Police Court Chronicles

Many persons die young because they
fail to exercise. Dennis McGurk read this
in a health magazine which shows one
how to keep well all the time and live
indefinitely Then Dennis saw doctor,
who gave him a long list of the things he
couldn't eat and also bill. According to
the conscientious physician, McGurk had a
very near engagement with the neighbor-
hood undertaken which was bound to take
place regardless of his approval-unless he
quickly switched his general plan of life.
Dennis had to cut the rum and drink
strained milk. A frail soda cracker and
delicate slab of puny cheese was his dinner,
and luncheon consisted of near slice OF
tomato and a wedge of hard bread.
After this tremendous repast Dennis was
obliged to leave his comfortable home and
cut down trees with an axe In accordance
with the doctors orders. He did this for
several days and felt as though some one
had been pounding his stomach with
sledge hammer.
But in order to keep up his ambition In
the tree-chopping line, Dennis paused in
liquid palace for one lonely drink. Then he
decided It was entirely too lonely and he
took aboard a few others to keep it COM
pany. With the axe in his hand, he wan

is reported with regard to the Bulgar posi-

their front save in the Ramna region, where
strong advance parties have been thrown

been killed and the fate Of others is un-

Members of the Poor Richard Club are
wearing happy smiles today. All of the
doubt and gloom which has pervaded the
Headquarters of the club for the last month
has been swept away by action of Councils
in passing the bill apropriating S25.OOO for
the big admen's convention, which opens
on June %.
When Councils turned down the appro-
priation several weeks ago Poor Richard
Club folks became very unhappy mortals.
They felt hurt because Philadelphia looked
with indifference upon the plans TO adNer-
tise her fame as an industrial city all over
the civilized world. In other words, the
action of Councils placed a wet blanket
on the whole proceedings. But Philadel-
phia reconsidered and decided to dig into
her pocketbook and provide royal wei

Poor Richard Club members say that
now there is no reason why the convention
should not be the most successful ever heid
in the history of advertising
All of the advertising genius of the
United States is being concentrated toward
making the big advertising pageant in this
city on the evening of June 26 the most
novel and spectacular parade ever held In
this country. The parade will not only be
a boost for Philadelphia, but 1t VIII pe
boost for advertising.
The parade will be produced by men who
make speciality of creating novel ideas
men who are continually searching for
something new and find it. In other words,
the pageant will be the product of brains
keyed to the highest notch of efficiency in
the matter of striking atlthe truths of life
from fresh new angles. The men who are
arranging for the pageant are the coun-
try's greatest idea pioneers They are con-

pressed sympathy.
"Ill put the trees back agin on ther very
spots where they wuz growin'd If you let me

The Judge pointed out that chopped
tree could not be mended. Then, to the sur
prise of those around, the prisoner produced
a roll of bills and paid the owner of the
trees who came to appear against him Tor
the damage done.
''You got the right idea," said the Judge,
