GOSSIP


Everybody hates gossip. and still
everybody INDUCES In 1t. Why? That
is archaeological proposition thhat
no one has yet attempted to explain.
What satisfaction does any human
being get out and slamming a fellow
human? That is another proposition
in physiology that has never been
susceptible of explanation. What
good does it do Mrs. Smith to tell
Mrs. Jones that Mrs. So-andSo's
husband comes home every Saturday
night with a jag on? That could
only be explained by Mrs. Smith tell
ing her own feelings after she had i'm
parted that information to Mrs.
Jones, and Mrs. Smith curtails the
thing by saying that she never gos-
sips. What good does it do n bunch
of men to get together and gossip of
their conquests with the opposite sex?
None, unless il satisfies them TO harp
on their personal charms as lady
killers.
There are numbers of people. men
and women alike. who love to verb
ally kick an unfortunate n little far
Their into the gutter of public scorn.
They lie awake nights memorizing the
gossip they have heard through the
day for the particular purpose of ped
ding it at the breakfast table or hand
ing ii out over the fence to the neigh
bors. They glory in the fact that
poor little Mrs. So-and-So has a drunk.
en-, worthless husband, or that anoth.
er family near by is caught in the
throes OF domestic difficulty. II
Smith goes broke on some ill-adyised
deal the Jones family love to ascribe
his failure to his shortcoming and in.
sist among themselves or to their
friends that "if he had done this. or
If he wasn't such so and So" etc,
etc. failure never would have come to
him. If the fellow across the street
misses paying his grocery bill just
once they hear about it somehow or
other and tell all their friends that
he owes everybody in town.
But the most disgusting thing of all
is to hear some human being, who
places himself in the category of
man, attacking with Shiny, voluptu-
Gus tongue. the good name of some
good woman. This snake in the grass
this purveyor OF verbal filth, this
honorless curse upon the community
that tries to be clean in its dealings
with its people, is a viper no less in
sidious than the man who enters
your house to steal. The people who
talk of So.and.So because he comes
home Saturday night with his hat
over his ear, or of Smith because he
goes broke. or of Jones because he
owes the grocer, really don't bother
anybody, even though their clatter
momentarily may vex its victim, but
the discusser OF the regulations of
the gentler success is blight upon
the face of Gods sweet earth. He
real man with disgust, and satisfies
only his own lustful standards of
conversation. II he thinks for n
moment that the average man believ-
es anything he says, or pays any at
tention to his words he is as pervert-
ed mentally as his words would indi.

his filthy gossip.

SALES OF CANDY ARE
LIMITED TO ONE POUND

The decision to urge the public to
limit it's purchases of candies and
chocolates to one pound at, any one
time and to confine its aggregate pur
chaSes to One-half it's usual cOnsump
ton was adopted by the Executive
Committee of the National COnfec-
TONERS Association at their meeting
at the WaldorfAstof4a in New York
in order to cooperate with the sugar
saving efforts of the Food Administra
ton.
The present scarcity of sugar and
the curtailment of the confectiOners
allotment to so per cent of the guam
tity used during the corresponding
period last year made the adoption OF
this measure advisable.
The restriction does not apply to
the purchase of candies and chocolate
for shipment to men and women in
the service.
Packages on hand, filled and ready
for delivery which contain more than
one pound may be sold if the dealers
agree to discontinue selling them in
the future.

SAFE TO ENTER SILOS
IF BOTTOM DOORS open

How to avoid the dangerous silO
gas is again a question, now that the
silo filling season is here. The one
safe, sure way, according to G. G.
Humphrey Of the College of Agricul-
ture, is never to go down into a silo
where carbonic gas has had q chance
to accumulate without first getting
some circulation Of air.
Most of the danger from silO gas
is in the pit silo, or silo filled within
s to 10 feet of the surface, where there
is not opportunity for circulation of
air. says Mr.. Humphrey. Some draft
must be produced before anyone en-
tiers the silo, either by opening the
doors at the bottom, by directing the
blower into the silO, or by putting in
some newly cut silage.
''The gas is a natural result of fer
mentation of silage. 1t is dangerous
only when it accumulates Circulation
of air drives it out
eff there is any question about the
safety of the silo where gas might &C
cumulate, it is we'll to lower lighted
lantern or candle into the pit. If the
light burns, the silO is safe"
