When anybody begins a conversations
with "Here's a subject upon which l
feel very strongly" it is almost certain
that he doesn't feel strongly about it at
all. The very fact that he emphasizes
his feeling shows that his emotion is
merely something that he has churned
up in his conscious mind. Probably the
subject is the physical valuation of
railroads or George Meredith's style, or
some subject about which he thinks he
ought to have a definite opinion and
arguments and all that. If you want to
know what he really feels deeply about
it is necessary to catch him unaware.
As like as not he doesn't know himself.
With the exception of very small
number of conscious satirists, nobody
pretends to feel strongly about the
things of which he writes in humorous
vein. And yet he does if the humor is
at all spontaneous. Practically all
blazing humor comes from the uncon-
scous mind. 1t is down in our mental
roots, and only accident or inspiration
can bring 1T up. But the man who
wants to write a serious play or story
or poem does not have to depend on
such fugitive occurrences. He can work
the thing out. There was Mr.. Poe, for
instance. who decided that "nevermore"
was the most mournful word in the
language, and that he could get a
smashing fine tragic effect simply by
repeating it now and again in lines of
proper cadence. Poe was ambitious to
write humorous pieces as we'll, and
tried just as hard upon them, and to-
day nobody remembers those stories.
They were synthetic humor and they
died.
However. there is some justice in the
superior respect in which the public
holds the serious dramatist. His task
may be easier, but it is usually better
done. Arthur Wing Pnero probably
felt no more deeply about the folly of
marrying women with long pasts than
he did about the inadvisability Of bring
ING up girls like boys, but "The Second
Mrs. Tanqueray" is much more telling
play than "The Amazons"
We have no desire to go so far afield.
We are thinking specifically of
Friendly Enemies" which is distinctly
tailor-made play. The authors have
succeeded quite admirably in devising
emotional scenes for their characters.
and have fallen not little short of the
mark when they have attempted to set
them into comedy. After all, you can
cry at things you don't like. Laughter
has to be wooed and nobody is so quick
to spot faker.
Nora, Ibsen's Nora, left her home be-
cause in eight years she had never had
serious conversation with her hus-
band. That was foolish Of her. She
felt that she didn't really know him.
But it's ten to one that if she had had
those serious conversations on the
physical valuation of railroads and the
style of George Meredith she would
have found that there simply wasn't
anything to know.

discovery, we are compelled to label this
nut-made butter as oleomargarine
But it contains no oleo oils-no hog

TROCO is simply vegetable fats,
churned with milk for the butter taste.
Yet this appetizing combination costs
no more than does the best grades of oleo-

TROCO has all the good qualities Of fine
creamery butter. The only difference you will
notice is the cost.
1t is as nutritious as cream butter, and as
easily dgested. 1t possesses the fuel value

TROCO when served has buffers golden
color, because we supply the same vegetable
coloring used by all butter makers.

NY wife had Indigestion so that
everything she ate would sour on her
stomach and make her feel all bloated
up. Gas that rose made her heart
beat fast and she had smotherins
spells that like to have overcome her
The attacks got to be acute, and she
had severe pains in her stomach and
vomiting spells that would just about
exhaust her. She fell off a whole lot
and got so nervous she could hardly
sleep and sometimes hadn't the
strength TO sit up. I was uneasy
about her. for was afraid one Of her
had spells would carry her off
The first few doses Of Tanlac
started her appetite right and she
commenced enjoying her meals and
getting her strength back She has
taken several bottles and il sent her
weight up 20 pounds and she hasn't
had one Of those awful attacks OF
acute Indigestion since. All her ner-
vousness is gone and she sleeps like
a babe. She is now as well a woman
