 Every time I try to tell you any said the Hyde Park man, that friends are an awful pesti Next to you, the most obnoxious is the friendly, con iversational kind like Harrows I met Harrows in the corner drug store the evening of the day after the big blizzard when everybody was swap ping experiences of their jousts with snowbanks and trains and street cars which should have been but weren't.

Besides, Harrews is. long Winded and so in stead of stating distinctly that hadn't even got downtown. I merely nodded at Harrows and said, Uh, huh Just those mongrel words. I started to pass on, but Harrows stepped toward the cigar lighter and blocked my way. "Have any trouble9 he inquired, cordially.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Correction.


 MT. Editor: Because of the acci- dental substitution of one word for another in your report of a sermon before the congregation representing Christ church and Trinity church re- gently do please grant me this space.
 Your reporter evidently had to hur- " to another field after a single para graph OF so and both missed the point of the sermon and invited severe criti- cism for the preacher As l was once a reporter l have sympathy for the man.
 But to report that I said that Jesus Christ was not tempted is as remote from the facts as to deny that Ger many entered Belgium. The preacher was not rewriting Gospel history. The point of the forty days in the wilder ness was the unsuccessful effort to break the sinlessness of Christ, name ly the temptations chiefly of three kinds. Sin and temptation are not the same. Perhaps just here your we'll tntentioned and over-driven reporter fell. A moments thought and many temptations are recalled which were promptly dismissed, not dallied with. Because Jesus Christ took our na- tpre upon Him He necessarily en- dured temptation. Lent means what it does to thousands for the reason that 1t shows us how Christ being tempted, tested, met the temptation or testing, how He triumphed in our nature in all points tempted as we are yet without sin.

PRODUCE MORE PORK.

There ought to be little need for urging. the people to engage more ex- tenSively in the raising of pork if the matter is given proper study and thought In spite of the fact that the nation Is constantly growing and the more important fact that there is not a corresponding increase in product it ought to be apparent that something is wrong. The one conclusion which ought to be reached under such cir cumssances is that the opportunity for overcf ming the existing condition and doing 90 at a good profit to the raiser vas never better.
 In urging those who can engage in the hog raising industry to sit up and take notice a Georgia authority points out that when 34 Georgia pigs sold for Slaughter bring a total of 1,9ss.24. or an average of sss.a5 each. pig raising in that section may be saiS Co have reached the point where the financia. possibilities compel recognition.
 While 1t is likewise pointed out tha; pigs are selling for more than per fectiy good COWS have been sold for fl serves to clfnch the argument, but the opportunity is by no means confined to the south or to any one section When little pigs are sold for from SIG to SIS and those for slaughter at s1ot as have been done in this vicinity. tht reason for engaging in 'ehe production of pork Is all the more apparent.
 The fact of the matter is that ther, was never a more favorable chanc. for dev7lrpkng thfs industry alon, with fhe production of other farm products than right now and ther, shonid be a determined effort on tn, part of those who can do so to mak. the most of it for national as we'll a! personal benefit

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy If You Know Dr. Edwards; Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel young ~ to do this you must watch your liver and bowels = there's no need of having sallow complexion = dark rings under your eyes IT pimples = bilious look in your face = dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from in- active bowels and liver.
 Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years. Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi. tute for calomel, are gentle in their action yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit. that natural buoyancy which stould be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clear ing the system of impurities. n You will know pr.

AN INEFFAcEAsLE BLOT.

IL makes no difference where it takes place. it matters not in which direction if is going or whether it con-. thins sick and injured, it is fmpossi- ble 10 look upon the torpedoing of a hospital ship as anything but an ab- solure disregard for the rules of na- val warfare and an employment of ruthless measures which any self-re- specfing nation would do it's utmost tD svold-
 Yet that is the policy which has been adopted by Germany in its des- per1fe determination to carry out fits purpoee. should such methods be employed against that country it can be appreciated that Germany would look upon it as the most horrible sort of practice and endeavor to have an end put 10 it even as 1t is now seek ing to have the use of poison gas dis continued because it fears the effect which the use of it in the future will have upon its own forces. Just as long. however, as Germany can con- tnuo such methods without exper- fencing similar treatment it is deter mined to do so.
 It cannot help being recognized by Germany that the sinking of a fospi- tal ship means no naval or military advantage. It does, however, mean one less vessel in the possession of the enemy and for that reason alone it is willing to continue it's unjustified operations and to take the lives of the zlck and injured and those whose duty it Is to care for them. Can a nation which will inangurate and insist upon continuing such pfratical work ex- pect that it's enemies will consider for a moment entering into the negotia- ton of peace with it? It is a blot on a nation which can never be effaced.

REsrs MYTH rnE PEopLE.

In spite of the instances where neighboring states receive such de- serving censure for the toleration of the lynching bees, and where it can not help being realized that a total disregard is being shown to law and order, other southern states continue to engage in such practices whenever the opportunity cffers.
 Georgia, Tennessee and Texas have recently figured in the lynchine of residents for causes ranging all the way from robbery and attempted kid- mapping to murder. The guilty par ties, and in these instances there ap- pears to be every reason for believing that conviction for their crimes could easily have been obtained, have been taken from the hands of the authori- ties and strung up to a tree or burned at the stake. And yet in spite of these horrible examples of mob rule and a disregard for the laws of the states, a mob in Bafnwell county South Carolina, as if inspired by such ex- amples proceeds to do the same thing.
 It is not surprising therefore that the Charleston News ai1d Courier in deploring that affair should declare that the governor of the state owes 1t to his people, the south and the na- ton to act promptly and vigorously to bring the men responsible for the lynchihg to justice. It well concludes that If the law in South Carolina is not to be trusted to punish Negro guilty of the unprovoked murder of 3 respectable white citizen it is not te be trusted at all'
 It is not to be forgotten, however that no little responsibility rests upor the people. If they do not do theil utmost to uphold the law and to see that the authorities enforce it, it car be expected that lynching and othe1 violations will continue to increase.

Automatic Sprinkler Systems.

Mir. Editor: The coal shortage has revealed the reliance on automatic water sprinkler systems for fire con- trol. The effective maintenance of these systems has been impaired by freezing in many buildings lacking fuel. Because of the temporary loss of this protection conf1agrations be- came imminent possibilities and the peril appalled, the fire underwriters, and because of it fuel administrators allowed use of coal to prevent freez- ing of sprinkler systems.
 And from these reports the idea has gained currency that the impairment of sprinkler, protection by freezing has been due to inherent defects in sprinkler systems. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The impair rnent has been because the water in the wet pip9 sprinkler systems re- duired by the fire underwriters in heated buildings has been allowed to freeze and more or less cripple the systems; or else the water has been shut off and the pipes drained to pre- vent freezing where heat could not be maintained because of lack of coal.
 In unheated buildings where water is liable to freeze sprinkler systems are installed "dry pipe" l. e., instead of Hot0E tA6 p4PlAS NOltd1llS diT uilu6I pressure which holds shut an auto matic water control valve. This valve opens and admits water into the pipes when the pressure is weakened by the escape of air through sprinklers open ed by fire.
 Many sprinkler systems were re- stored by making them over tempor- arily into dry pipe" systems. And an interesting fact to contemplate is

Hustins is q man Of right ideas and q patriot first, last and all the time. 4 number of candidates are already in the field but as might be expected instead of dividing on. the issue of loyalty the situation prom sses to be confused by the number seeking the honors.

NEW rAKcEI. Posr LIMIT.

The proper aistffbution of supplies and the moving of certain crops of which the producer may have an abundance and yet the consumer is unable to get the benefit, beeauss there Is no way to get them to those who can use and may want them, ,has long been recognized as one of the much sought improvements.
 Just bow much use has been made of the parcel post by the farmer in the sending of his products to his cus- toners is not known but it is appar- ent from the action which has been taken by the postmaster general that it has been tried out to certain ex- tent and that 1t has not proved as successful as 1t might because of the limiting of the weight of such pack ages to 50 pounds. In view of this the limit has now been increased so that 70 pounds Is tfe limit for the first three zones.
 If the previous limitation had pre- vented the farmers from doing busi- ness directly with customers it can De appreciated that the change ought to bring about the desired relief. or go q long way toward helping the situa- tion. It is apparently the idea of the department to aid the agrieultufaiist and when it comes to urging the pro- duction of more goods it can be real ized that if the farmer can get the benefit of such transportation it Is go- ing to assist him materially in elimi- hating time required to make deliver ies and permit him to use that time thus saved in giving added attention to his farming operations. Whether the advantage will accrue in like pro portion to the consumer can be told with more certainty after a proper trial
