The Three KS.
~ OR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

People would get along better live
longer and have more fun while they
live. said the old Medicine Man, If they
would mind the Three KS.
They are Examination. Excretion. and
Excess The first two are to be observed,
and the last one to be avoided.
Excuse me, said / if exact hereto
some excellent eXplication.
Very well. said he.
First comes Examination. That means,
go to the doctor before you get sick and
not after. Know about yourself don't
guess and suppose and believe.
When you so to get your life insured
the company physician searches your
body and your history carefully TO sec
if you're good risk. Why not have that
lone at least once a year for your own
satisfaction and information
Do it, and forget it, Don't think about
aoHs body al the eifls-; but let Your reg.
lect Of it be intelligent and not igno-
rant
You notice all the quacks and faddists
and the like go after sick folks. But
20 treat well person il needs a scientist
m honest dealer in facts When mans
sick he's partly crazy anyhow; his judg
ment is apt TO be as deranged as his
liver
50. while you're in shipshape and com
pos mentis. go and be Examined-your
eyes. nose ears teeth lungs. heart, di-
gestiye apparatus. everything
Second Excretion. Nine people out OF
ten are killed because there is something
wrong with their waste pipes.
All Excretion is unclean and not nice,
and we shrink from speaking or thinking
lbout it, That is Well enough it is ma
lures plan 20 lead US to get rid of waste
and shun it, But it's matter that
should be set right before we turn from
lit. To have it go wrong me ms disease
and death.
Putting fuel into the body. eating and
drinking is public and social function.
Removing the ashes and clinkers and
refuse is a private function, and hence
often sighted. But elimination has quite
as much to DO with ones health and
spirits rs allmentation.
Give attention, therefore. TO the three
life savers of your body, the bowels the
Kidneys. and the sweat pores If any one
Of them goes on strike you are in for
trouble
And thirdly. Excess. When Socrates
would put all wisdom into a phrase. he
said Nothing too much
The kind Of pleasure we get from ex-
cess. of any kind. is septic. II always
kicks worse than il shoots
Order, they say, is heavens first law.
Perhaps that's why heaven is happy. and
stays happy It's always morning, and
no morning after. Whatever We enjoy
tremendously. temperately. continues to
he enjoyable and brings no train of re-
morse. -
A man should be above his pleasures
When they master him it isn't long before
they become fortunes
Don eat too much, nor drink too much
Inor exercise. nor work nor loaf, nor play.
( norslaggh. nof cry, nor smoke. nor sleep,
no tudy, nor amuse yourself, nor pray,
nor travel nor stay at home, nor do any
thing else, good on bad too much.
Do you get these three Examina-
ton, Excretion, and Excess? said he.
Exactly, said |. Your excogitations,
while extemporaneous. are exquisitely
exegetical, explicit. and expertly ex-
pressed.

The Administration May
Readily Welcome the Turning
On of Penetrating Light

The testimony Of Thomas W. Lawson
before the committee in Washington IN
vestigating Lawson's charges that Wall
st. was given advance information as 70
the contents of President Wilson's peace
note to the warning nations, NAMES men
occupying high places in the Wilson adj
ministration and in the government.
Iawson's story is unsupported.
It has been denied with much emphasis
and positiveness by the men his charges
involve.
However, unfortunate as IL may be in
their individual cases, they are in politics
and part Of the administration in Wash
ington
a presumption Of innocence until the
rsrisl s.95 :, t,,.,s.s.es laAla
politics, particularly with those ~lio TI'g
antagonstic to an administration and
have axes to grind.
The general public should be influenced
by this fact and should be SO ready TO
recognize the possibility Of political trick
cry. that it will be free to wait for all the
facts and for both sides to have been
heard before forming its opinion Of either
the truth or the untruth of Lawson's
charges.
That they are founded on truth, or that
they are possible of proof that will show
men in the high places occupied by these
men to have used their places for a pur
pose of personal profit, seems quite I'M
belevable.
Nevertheless, for the reason we have
stated, the administration will not have
entered satisfactory defense should IT
choose to rest at pointing to the very ex-
cellent regulations of its members who
have been accused.
If Lawson is telling that which is not
true. he is telling it with motive and for
purpose, and that purpose must be re-
vealed, either as political, personal or pro-
fessional, or the administration remains
exposed and the Democratic party will
suffer for it.

IL must be established TO the satisfac-
ton of every citizen of the country that
our position is one that has at heart the
interests of civilization and not the per
sonal pecuniary profit of any individual
within the administration or on Wall-st.
If Lawson has taken liberties with
few facts and has added his own deduc-
tions based upon those few facts, or is
merely repeating hearsay. with nothing
tangible upon which to base his asser-
tons, il will be an easy matter to estab-
lish such a state Of affairs.
The administration, before anybody
else, should insist upon sinking the probe
70 the deepest point, and resolve TO spare
nobody upon proof that what Lawson
alleges has substantial basis.
Lawson is fortified by the positive fac'
that SOMEBODY leaked to Wall-st. that

the busy artist who profits by her
assistance.
First OF all, she washes the din

floors. When the family has fin

Some mornings she cleans certain
rooms more thoroughly than others
taking them turn about. The day
after the laundress has come 10 do
her work, the college girl sorts out
the clothes and puts all that require
mending away by themselves. She
spends but an hour in the apart
ment each OF the first five mornings
OF the week. and leaves il IN order
every day. Then, on Saturdays,
when she has no recitation. she
comes for three hours and does the
weekly mending.

not only useful. but extremely dec

houses. many OF these tapestry
hangings we're woven, but not all
were always some particularly beau
tiful ones which were cherished
carefully and only brought out on
festaI occasions. They found the
inspiration for their designs all
about them. For instance. they saw
the tulips growing in their gardens;
il was quite necessary to work them
into their tapestries. There was less
talk about beauty In the earlier days
but perhaps more of il went into the
