SOME GOOD IN HON. BoGGER
Does Not Seem as Useless as
Once Appeared to Be.

For a long time my pet detestation
was the Hon. Bascom Bogger," con-
fessed the Old Codger. "He is born
honorable. who was twice elected TO
trifling offices. which encouraged him
so that he never ceased being candi-
date. To the casual observer about all
he ever does is to strut and utter pom
derous piffle. Wherever you go you
are fairly certain to encounter him
braying his bombastic bunkum. AS
matter of fact he is horse doctor on
the side, and as horses are easily fool
ed he enjoys tolerably fair practice.
"But the other day | discovered him
in new role. Death visited rickety
shack down by the brickyard, and be-
cause the poor family had no friends
the Hon. Bascom Bogger butted in and
bossed the obsequies. He rustled up
pallbearers, bullied several people Into
putting their vehicles in the process
sion, started the hymns and sang them
through in his burly voice, and man
aged the affair so successfully that the
miserable family felt quite proud or
themselves and the function. | found
out that he made practice Of attend
ing the funerals of poor people and IN
fusing as much life and pep into them
as is possible to get into such events.
So, somehow, since made the discov-
cry the Hon. Bascom Bogger hasn't
seemed quite SO tiresome to me as
formerly. kansas City Star.

Relieved the Tension.

A little boy at school saw his teacher
faint and fall In the confusion it was
impossible to keep SO many heads cool,
and the little ones fiocked round the
PROSTATE lady and her sympathetic col
leagues. But this small boy kept both
his color and his GOODNESS.
Standing on a bench and raising his
hand, he exclaimed: PLEASE, teach
er, can run and fetch father? He
makes coffins." The peal Of laughter
which greeted this unconscious humor
reused the teacher from her short
trance, and nobody enjoyed the young
ster's saying more than she did when
the circumstances were explained to
her afterward

Maybe you have an acid stomach
and don't know It'll There are millions of
such people-weak, ailing, tired, worn
out and "all in" before the day is half
gone-listless and indifferent to their sur
roundings-often with aches and pains
all over the body-woefully lacking in
physical power and mental vigor-pa1e,
emaciated--just dragging out weary
existence. Nine out of every ten of
these people are unconscious victims or
acid-stomach.
Thousands upon thousands of people
who are subject to attacks of indigestion
and biliousness; who are nervous, mel
ancholy, mentally depressed; who suffer
from rheumatism, lunbago or sciatica>

If the trouble is traced to its source, it
will often be fovnd to be just acid-stom-
ach. For these are only some of the all
ments that are caused by what the doc
tors call superacidity, which is another
name for sour or acid-stomach.
What you want to know above all
else is how to quickly rid yourself of ex-
cess acid. A wonderful modern remedy
called EATONIC literally wipes it out.
1t does the work easily, speedily and
naturally. It makes the stomach pure,

cannot enjoy robust, vigorous health.

PLAN RULES OF
WOMEN'S WORK
Trade Union Delegates Dis
cuss Equal Pay and
Night Work.

How to assure equal pay for equal
work by women and men, how to
control night work for women. the
question of employment OF women in
industries where the health hazards
are q menace to future generations,
the enforcement OF sanitary laws
and regulations in the workshops,
and various other problems affecting
women workers, especially in view of
the war conditions, were subjects
laid before conference Of trade
union women In Washington yester-
day by Secretary OF Labor Wilson
and Miss Mary Van Kleeck, director
OF the Woman-in-Industry Service of
the Department OF Labor.
The conference was called by Miss
Mary Van Kleeck and Miss Mary
Anderson, assistant director Of the
Woman-in-Industry Service, and is
attended by some twenty-five women
representing national and interna-
tional labor organizations. 1t is the
first conference Of tradeunion women
ever held under government auspices,
and has for its purpose the estab-
lishrent OF close relations between
the government and the organized
women workers, in order that their
anu CO-OptEdllOn may Dc
available to the Federal service at
all times in its dealings with the
problems of women in industry.
Addressed by Secretary Wilson.
Secretary Wilson made the opening
address. Among the problems most
pressing at this juncture, he said,
is that Of controlling night work for
women, and to meet existing condi
tions he proposed a program Of di-
rect Federal control. The Secretary
referred to the initial pronounce
ment of the Council of National De-
fense to the effect that the estab-
hshed labor standards should not be
lowered without special permission of
the council, and pointed to the ef
forts Of some employers to take ad-
vantage Of the war emergency and
a degree Of hysteria on the part Of
the public to accomplish purely sell
fish ends.

''Pieasefomeetchewo

We have often noticed how many
persons, little and big. young and old.
get off the time-worn, aged greeting
or salutation of "Pleasetomeetchew"
on being introduced to US. My, oh my,
how we do dislike this form of adj

one of "Clavadatscher's ads" because
the words are most always runs to-

please to meet chew" Cor chue.) On
the face of the speaker, is set smile,
the eyes never meet ours but instead
are downward cast on our feet. They
then turn away and for the life of
them, they couldn't tell whether our
eyes are of the gooseberry pattern. or
whether our nose is Of the turnip kind
and yet, "pleasetomeetchue" is what
they have said. Why do so many
follow this one set speech on being
we'll worn, beaten track, and say
something fresh ard at the same time
really mean it or else go their way
with simple nod of the head? For
our part, if on meeting us, they'd
fling this at us, Hello, old Alspice,"
we'd be filled with pleasure at a.
greeting something new and some
thing true. One day last summer
there came two different set Of pic
nickers to the Glen each party chose
a spot to prepare and eat their lunch
and while so busy. third party came,
Gust merely to walk through the
place. and in this party there was
a very big, 1eshy, lady who saw this
place for the first time Her friends
knew the others in the Glen and in

The Man Who Owns The Airship

E. L. Luckow sends the following
newspaper clipping:
With all that has been printed
about Americas plans for winning
the war in the air, one man has been
found who didn't appear to know that
the United States army has airplanes
says the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
AirpIanes from Scott Field fly over
Jefferson Barracks almost daily.
When one appeared Friday a drafter
man, who had just arrived from Wis
consin, ran out of shower bath, with
out stopping to dress, and gazed up
at it, "Say," he cried, that's Lawson!
Why l didn't know Lawson ever
came this far South. Well, what do
you know about that?"
who's Lawson?" several recruits
inquired.
"Why, Lawson Of Green Bay" the
Wisconsin man replied. "The man
that owns the airship"

from the Badger state was apprised
Of the fact that there are other avia-
tors than Lawson, and that number
of them are working for Uncle Sam.

For a vivid illustration Of the muta-

TO cast their eyes on king Cotton.
-FOUR years ago people of the north
were being tearfully appealed to on
behalf of the unfortunate cotton
raiser, to purchase BALE of cotton
to shield him from total destruction.
Today his majesty has waxed SO
mighty that he has applied the jack
screws to cotton prices, and hoisted
them to such an Outrage ous height,
that the government has been obliged
to take cogniZance of his course and
set limit to his capacity. King Cot
ton, however, is not the only offender.
And the elderly people of humble
means in this country, who have pro-
vided by life time of toll, little
store Of money to carry them in COM
fort to the end of their declining
years, now find it being torn from
Their possession by the Unsuitable
greed of the profiteer. To those hum
Bile people the future presents a
gloomy aspect. King Cotton has for
gotten those who assisted him four
years ago, or that he ever received
assistance, and the people can starve
as far as he may care, at the present
time. AS for me | would prefer being
