PROVED TRUTH OF OLD ADAGE


A certain lawyer Of a bygone gener.

before a justice of the pescs out In

He was for the defendant. while a
wiseacre Of a schoolmaster who had
pickle. up a few Latin words, appeared
for the plaintiff.
The fat were all In the sch0olmas-

would exclaim with great gusto as he
made his points. -and that is tho sum-

Mass had really no defense. bui his
ready wit and keen Of the ridicu-

he came to reply he said to the justice.

law of summum bonum, on which the
gentleman wholly relies, for its an

and served well its day and generation.
But the people finally outgrew it and
became dissatisfied with It; and IT was
one of the laws England tried to force
upon the colonies.
But" said Mass. raising his voice
and arm on high. "our forefathers
fought and split their blood In the
Revolution to overthrow that law, and

There is a dangerous epidemic abroad. It has already
taken q heavier toll Of life than any epidemic from which
this country has suffered in fifty years. not excepting even
SMALLPOX, WILLOW FEVER or CHOLERA.
It has killed more Of our soldiers BEFORE THEY GOT

RIFLES. his MACHINE GUNS. his POISON GAS. his
LIQUID FIRE and his SUBMARINES combined.
In addition it has killed tens of thousands in civil life
Boston alone lost more people than the entire population OF
Southern Nevada. California has had a hundred thousand
cases and many thousand deaths.
San Francisco and Sacramento have suffered most. In
Los Angeles. where the wearing of masks was originally left
to the discretion of the individual. the epidemic was rapidly
gaining ground. In response to an emphatic public demand
Dr.. Woods Hutchinson. of Boston, q physician Of national
fame. has now been placed in charge and declares that the use
of the mask is the ONLY MEANS OF CLEARING UP THE
SITUATION. DR.. HutchinsonOUGHT TO KNOW. for HIS

SEVEREST sufferer.
The health authorities of Washington put into effect an
order requiring the people of THE ENTIRE STATE to wear
masks.
The health authorities of Ely District have put into effect
an order requiring the people of the District to wear masks.
And these masks should be worn-not under the chin, but
over the mouth and over the nose.
The train man who through any neglect causes death or
injury is arrested and tried. Many are serving sentences in
prison for indifference or neglect resulting in the loss of hui
man life.
The man who drives an automobile without due care and
causes death or injury is punished.

TAGION and causes death rs A CRIMINAL and should be so
treated.

tho only nation able to help IN re-
building the war-torn countries. Each
nation will strive TO enlist the aid OF
this country. and II Is not improbable
that several may combine for the
purpose. II is with tho latter con

The story relates to a plot by five
European ambassadors to divert fifty
billions of dollars from American
banks and industrial institutions to
their own countries. with the result
that Europe is assured Of restoration.
while this country writhes In the grip
OF panic, bank failures and industrlai
paralysis, attended by riots and blood
shed.
The story Is extremely vivid and
plausible and the plot Is foiied only
