to the problem, has produced a bed

In a time when labor is scarce this
is an important saving, but Mr..
Bourdeau also enables the patient
to be raised up without crumpling
up the mattress or causing il to

You Don't Believe 1t?
Then Ask Miss Miller
Billy Sunday is a timid man

You wouldn't think SO from the
way he slams about on the platform
OF the Tabernacle. would you? It's
a fact, though-and one of his own
people has gone and told 1t on him.
Miss Frances Miller. who has charge
of the monday center meetings for
business women, is the one who let
the cat out of the bag. and right
in front of an audience of a hun
dred or more women, too. Here is
what Miss Miller said yesterday at

Congregational Church:
You wouldn't think Mr.. Sunday
was afraid of anything, would you?
Well. he's just about the timidest
man you ever saw. and when a
strange person comes in the house,
why, he ducks Mis- head and runs
like a scared rabbit He never gets
stage fright while he's on the plat
form. but at home he's positively as
shy as n kitten"
And Miss Miller lives right in the
same house with Billy and the Sum

DOROTHY DIX'S TALKS.
CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTORS.
BY DOROTHY DIX.


The newspapers report that CON
scientious objector," who didn't want
to defend his country and was drafted
into its service aginst his will. and
who defied every military regulation
and refused to submit to any author
ity. has been court martialed and sem
fenced to be shot.
How 1 wish that army regulations
could be carried into private life and
that the Conscientious Directors who
infest almost every family and make
life a burden to all about them could
also be taken out some nice. pleasant
morning and slain! 1t would be the
beginning of a perfect day for many
a household that is now the scene OF
nothing but a perpetual protest.
Sometimes the Conscientious Objec-
tor is a man. Sometimes the Con-
scientious Objector is a woman: but
he. she or it is always a bilious. dark
green pessimist who goes on the
principle that whatever is, is wrong,
and whatever you want to do you
shouldn't be permitted to do. and that
every idea and every plan is fallscious
and bound to be a failure unless he,
she or it originated it.
Ine CONSCIENTIOUS Op1ector con-
ceives it to be his or her sacred mis-
sion in life to be a wet blanket on
every occasion; to give courage cold
feet; TO dampen enthusiasm and take
the crimp out OF il, and to drown am
bition. When he or she has done this
and left you limp and lifeless and
despondent, the Conscientious Objector
smiles the complacent smile of one
who has done his full duty and may
rest for the time being from his labors.
The Conscientious Objector works on
no plan. He has no theory TO substi-
tute for the one he opposes. In war
the Conscientious Objector refuses 10
! fight to defend his country. but he
doesn't offer any suggestion as 10
how a country is to be defended with
out fighting. He will not obey orders
