SIDE TALKS
Your Own Interruptions
BY RUTH CAMERON

Someone else might attend to them and then again might not. I suppose nature gave each of us the instinct to look out for ourselves first 50 that there wouldn't be any mix-up and each one would get look ed out for. don't mean that to sound quite as selhsh as it does. AL truism is tho greatest of all virtues t. my mind. And yet can under stand why we aren't by nature al- truistic.
 Moreover 1t is a law of human na- ture that anything you do of your own accord is play and anything you dc for someone else is work.
 The Difference Between Work and
 Play.
 Painting the fence was work to Tenn Sawyer because his father had told him he had to do it. It was play to the boys whom that consummate student of character inveigled into doing it for him because he made them want to do 1t.
 Of course anyone who has those twin gifts, a sense of logic and a sense of humor will laugh at himself when he finds himself resenting other peoples interruptions and permitting his own.
 He will put a stop to this grudging attitude and will give whatever he can honestly afford to give graciously.
 And he will also make up his mind to be more stern with that worst of all offenders against concentration and accompitshment,-himsef.

Hot Water fo1: Sick Headaches
Teils why everyone should drink
 hot water with phosphate In 1t before breakfast.

~ Headache of any kind, Is caused by Auto-intoxication-w means self poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons called toxins. sucked into the blood. through the lymph ducts, excite the heart which pumps the blood so fast that 1t congests in the smaller ar- teries and veins of the head pro- duc1ng violent, throbbing pain and distress, called headache. You be- come nervous, Respondent. sick. fev- erish and miserable. your meals sour and almost nauseate you. Then you resort to acetanilide, aspirin or the bromides which temporarily relieve but do not rid the blood of these ir- ritating toxins.
 A glass of hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, drank before breakfast for awhile, will not only wash these poisons from your. system and cure you of headache but will cleanse, purify ard freshen the entire alimentary canal.
 Ask your pharmacist for . quarter pound of limestone phosphate. It is Inexpensive. harmless as sugar, and almost tasteless. except for sourish twinge which is not unpleasant.
 If you aren't feeling your best. if tongue Is coated or you wake up with bad taste, foul breath CT have colds, indigestion. biliousness, constipation or sour, acid stomach, begin the phosphated hot water cure to rid your system of toxins and poisons.
 Results are quick and it is claimed that those who continue to flush out the stomach, liver and bowels every -ses ssm3sI1qo eu1 eIoJeq 1ssM 9ssl morning never have any headache or know 8 miserable moment.

The other morning spent fifteen minutes at the telephone (of my own accord) in the middle of my working time. As I left the telephone one of my housemates called out to me:
 'If anyone asked you to give up all that time from your work you'd think ycu were terribly put upon."
 And 1t was true.
 As I went back into my study I re- nected guiltily upon the matter and came to that conclusion.
 Other peoples interruption re- sent bitterly. My own I am ever ready to forgive.
 Why are we like that? We Are Never Aggrieved When We
 Interrupt Ourselves.
 You see, I refuse to admit that that is a personal peccadillo. think the average human being has this pro- pensity to feel aggrieved at tho loss of working time when someone else wants him to do something and per fectly complaisant when he wastes his own time.
 I have known the Authorman to spend hours pleasantly puttefing about his study and then become righteously indignant and call on the Gods to witness that he cannot be expected to get anything done when his wife wants him to move piece of furniture into the attic.
 Why is 1t?
 Well of course it's natural to a certain degree.
 So That There Won't Be Any Mix-Up. If anyone gave as much time to other peoples concerns as he did to his own, what would become of his own:

NATIONS FINANCES ARE
STRONGEST IN HISTORY
Able to stand Strain Eight Times as
Great as 1907 Panic.

The nations finances are modified
to meet any situation likely to be
presented in the next few months, in
the opinion of the federal reserve
board, whose precautionary meas
ures, undertaken upon the severance
of diplomatic relations with Ger
many, have assumed concrete form
and are believed to cover every con-
tingency that may arise.
There are at present on deposit
with federal reserve agents in the
various reserve districts approxi-
mately $3OO.0OO,00O in cash and the
huge reserve of 900 is avail
able at Washington for use wherever
it may be needed. AS a precaution-
airy measure the board has requested
the bureau of engraving and printing
to engrave large additional sum of
reserve notes, which will be ready
for use in case the occasion may
arise.
An estimate by George NJ Rey-
nolds, of Chicago, that the banks of
the country are at present able to
withstand a financial strain involv-
ing eight times the sum involved in
the panic of 1907 is believed by Off
Gals to be correct appraisal of the
strength of the federal reserve sys-

TRADE BOARD PROPOSES
AN1|.ExTORT|ON BILL
Will Ask Congress to Pass Measure
to Prevent "COrner" of Com.
mOdities.

AS a direct result of the federal
trade commissions successful fight to
obtain reasonable rates and equitable
distribution of news print paper. a
drastic anti-extortion law will be
rushed through congress before
March 4.
The law, as proposed by the COM
mission, will be made applicable to
all necessities of existence. It will
be so drawn as to permit the trade
commission to proceed quickly and
decisively against any individual or
group Of individuals who attempt to
corner any commodity or commodi-
ties for the purpose of boosting
prices.
Such a law, as planned, would give
the federal trade commission power
and authority to declare virtual re-
ownership for the purpose of regulat-
ing prices and distribution of any
commodity.
Francis J. Heney. employed as spe-
cial counsel for the commission when
that body finally decided on criminal
prosecution in the print paper case,
is supervising the preparation Of the
proposed bill. President Wilson has
told his advisers he is directly be-
hind it, and that he will exert all his
influence to have congress enact it
into law at once.

Time For ACTION

President Wilson has advanced the
date for an extra session of Con
gress to deal with the latest outrages
of the German submarines. American
sailors blown into the sea by Ger.
man shells for no other otfeHse than
riding the high seas on empty freight
crs must stir the blood of patriotic
citizens.
A state OF war exists. There is
nothing academic or mysterious about
that Pacifsts, proliermans and
those opposed to the administrations
foreign policies should realize without
delay the gravity of the situation.
United States is to be the ally of
no one in this struggle, unless Ger
many continues to goad the nation by
intrigue and attacks upon our lawful
commerce.
1t is idle now to advance as mitl-
CATION that Great Britain breaks in
ternational laws also. Doubtless she
does, but her violations have murder
ed none of our citizens, destroyed
none of our boats. Any differences
between the United States and the
Entente are justiciable. No court OF
equity can restore the lives Of the
men. women and children sent to I'M
timely graves by the ruthless cam
paign of the submersble against Am
erican commerce. Violations against
property rights can be adjusted after
the war, but what nation can arbitrate
the murder of her seamen on the high
seas?
The Tribune knows that the citi-
zens of the Slope are loyal. Every !
will rally to the aid
and comfort of his adopted country |
in this hour of tribulation.
Let us Americans look to our own
German-Americans will
do as they did in other crises; sup
port the2sovernment, even to the full
measure Of devotion.
