I counted the strokes of the clock as it chfmed the hours of the night.

Just so do all women agonize and waste them selves at times, but seldom does a girl agonize so uselessly as I did that night
 The destinies of nations, and his own buried ancestors had made Hamilton Certeis what he was. No wish of mine. no tears could save him or could change him.
 In the late winter dawn I arose, half frozen, and threw off my long cloak. The keys in pocket rattled ominous- ly. I slipped on gown and crept be- tween the sheets before the maid caIge in with my coffee and toast.

 And then-no matter what his persu- asions and arguments, 1 must leave his house and go to work. Tommy would give me job. But I would have to use caution in getting away from Ger teis or I might find myself cherished as exclusively as those Chinese rugs.
 I arrayed myself for Certeis' arrival according to fashions latest schedule. And I put on that auburn wig! My rouge maye mask, although I didn't put on more than some girls wear every day.
 I puffed the short red curls of the wig over my ears. And on top of my auburn locks I poised my pink hat with fashion plate coquetry It was that chic feather affair I had found in the grocery. I added the veil-and it's pattern-a black parrot-stood out On my cheek like a tattoo. I took in the side seams of my skirt so that had to shuffle in it; and when I had as- sembled the other parts of my stylish attire-the low pumps with towering heels and the thin silk stockings-I looked just like any one of a score of girls to be seen any day in any city.

League of Nations As An Issue

If is too early yet to say that the League of Ma tiors will he an issue in the campaign of 1920 or that it will be an issue on which the parties will divide earlier. Only man has so far asked that a party take stand it That is Senator Borah and that request has been made just as he might have made it with respect to any proposal not be- cause it is democratic, because he believes it to he wrong A similar request by Senator Watson or Senator Penrose would have had different sig nificance
 Nor do we believe that Senator Hitchcock the leader in the senate for the league supporting it as a partisan and certainly Reed is not opposing it as a partisan What stand other democratic sena- tors who have not yet spoken will take we do not know and we know as little of the future course of many republican senators.
 It may be assumed though that some republicans will be small enough and partisan enough to fight the league and the treaty purely partisan grounds and that there will. be some democrats small and
 weak enough to support both league and treaty for no other reason than that the president is the sponsor for them.
 In all probability, in the end the senators who will be for or against the league for purely partisan reasons will not cut an important figure in the de- Alterations. They will be the yelping fringe on the outside of the pack. The real fighting will be done by the leaders within.
 So the contest may take on the appearance of partisan one do not think it will be issue in 1920. If it is not disposed of way the other before that time, will in all probability be displaced by others in which the people will have deeper material interest than they have in thing that is only or less idealistic There will be for instance the high of living, the state of our industries and our commerce things which affect us directly. These will be matters demanding earlier settlement and the two parties will he committed to plans for their settlement Between these plans the people will take their choice next year.

Hiqh Prices and the Future

We have come to think of a higher scale of wages as well as higher scale of prices natural and suitable adjustment which will only involve the earning and the spending of money. We think of it as an imitation that may be permanent and that after it is established will be as well off though better than before But is not certain that such an adjustment under abnormal conditions be permanent.
 There is provender for contemplation in the fol- lowing from Texas rural newspaper:
 "Times like these when cotton is selling at BOG per pound corn g per bushel hogs 1Sc per pound hoof an old hen at s15o to s2 eggs BOG dozen but ter 4oc per pound yam potatoes s2 per bushel and every other farm commodity high a cats back we say times like these will always remain. It would be q mighty good idea for all of who our living by the sweat of brow to up as much as possible for rainy day.
 The prices the farmer receives is the basis of the cost of living He is at the bottom of the whole scheme. The prices he receives result from his position of the last three four years the pros wider for practically the whole world especially that great part of the world which have had supply with wheat and cotton, meats and all other food stuffs When production throughout the world catches up with consumption again prices will come down. The products of the farm may never be as low as they were before the war; they probably will not be. but they will certainly remain the present high level All economists are agreed on that
 The day of five-cent cotton and ten-cent bacon may have gone forever but it surprising if the day of twelve-cent cotton fourteen cent bacon would And along with them will prob ably the day of twenty fve-cent butter teen-cent eggs.
 There enters into the thing something else the cost of production and transportation, the principle part of which is labor If were not to consider competition from the outside that would not be a very complicating element We would merely figure in these costs as part of the to the consumer and high level might be maintained all around.
 But unless these costs are high abroad as they are at home cannot compete with prices of agri- cultural products abroad Europe could buy its wheat and cotton much cheaper from countries which have a lower level of wages of and prices. And only by high protective tariff could we control our own markets

DISEASES OF TEETH
MAY CAUSE DEATH.

The fact that diseases of the teeth,
either known or unknown, may cause
serious illness and death as in the
case of former President Roosevelt,
has created an impression in the
public mind and has served to draw
attention to dental phophylaxis, ac-
cording to director of the department
of health and charities of Philadel-
phia. His statement says
The subject of focal infections in
the mouth as related to general dis
eases is not new one to the medi-
cal profession; but the laity has been
rather slow in grasping its import
ance. Not only the teeth alone act
as hidden foci of disease but the
gums, tonsils and the bony cavaties
of the face may be the seat of in
ammatory conditions which extend
throughout the system causing such
diseases as rheumatism, heart and
kindey disease, tuberculosis, anemia,
neurasthenia and general nervous
disorders.
The mouth as the gateway of the
alimentary tract and the teeth as its
guarding sentinel are constantly sub
jected to Infection Particles of
food remaining in the mouth between
the teeth undergoing decomposition
form fertile media for the growth of
germs.
The salivary glands constantly Sc
| GREETING saliva cause deposits to form
upon the teeth, which when not re-
moved impinge upon the gums pro
ducing limitations where infections
begin. Hidden assesses at the root
of the teeth originating in deceased
gums may act as foci distributing
poisonous products of pus formation
throughout the body. Certain organs
like the heart and kidneys, and the
joints are readily attacked by these
poisons which bring about local or
systematic diseases.
The care of the mouth is. there
fore, of extreme Importance. It must
begin in childhood. Health officials
throughout the country have recog-
nized the relations of good teeth to
the progress and health of the school
child. Practically every large city
conducts a dental clinic where the
teeth of children are given expert
care.
Dentistry has become closely allied
to medical science and has gained an
important place in preventative med
icine. We have only to make refer
ence to the part played by dental
profession in the war to indicate its
great significance. The military au-
thorities have long recognized that
good teeth are essential to make a
good soldier; it also holds true that
good teeth are essential to make a
healthy and progressive citizen. A
clearer understanding on the part of
the public of the detrimental influence
of bad teeth on the health will tend
to bring about reduction in the
number of systematic diseases of OBJ
scure origin and in the prevalence Of
chronic organic diseases.

GENUINE LOVE.
BY DR.. Frank Crane


Affection that is genuine pours
itself out like the sunshine, and like
the rain which falls upon the ocean
as well as on the thirsty fields. The
joy of love is to give 1t is this Civ
ing that encircles the heart, and not
anything that we receive. Longfel-
low, in Evangeline, says:
Talk not of wasted affection. af-
lection was never wasted;
If it enrich not the heart of anoth-
err, it's waters returning
Back to their springs, like the rain.
shall fill them full of refresh
ment
That which the fountain sends
forth returns again to the foun-
tain"
In the account books of life set no
love down as lost. Perhaps the very
instance where your love was not re-
turned was that which added most to
your souls stature. Perhaps at that
moment you most resembled God.
For what is the pay we love? 1t is
the realization that we are capable of
loving. 1T is the high consciousness
of awakened divinity within us.
The pay of love is not to be loved
in return. Sometimes that is loves
extinguishment. For love dies often
at the point of satisfaction. The food
and drink of love is service. 1t asks
only to give, to spend to suffer. The
soldier loves his country most when
he is privileged to give his life or his
health for it. There is no patriotism
so deep as that of the mother whose
son lies dead on the battlefield
In almost every loving pair you
will find one that gives extravagantly
while the other has fallen into the
way Of receiving as a matter of
course. And it is the one whose life
is a continual sacrifice that loves
most passionately and permanently.
always. In other realms you may be
inclined to doubt the dictum, but in
the realm of love it is most certainly
true, that sit is more blessed to give
than to receive and also that other
saying that 'he that saveth his life
shall lose it."
Love is the eternal paradox, where
we most need that vision which can
penetrate beneath all seeming. for
here it is that the giver is enriched
and the receiver impoverished, that
the humble are mighty and exalted
while the proud are brought low.

THE IRISH CONVENTION.

An Irish convention was held in Philadelphia
the other day. 5000 delegates were present.
They proved Ito their own satisfaction at
least) that Great Britain was "the blood-sucking
vampire of the ages
Nice way to talk about England-isn't it?
This may be noted.
Ireland hasn't half the sympathy in this coun-
try she had ten years ago. The proven plots of
her Sim Feiners with Germany when America
and the world was graphing with the Autocracy
rather took our sentiment away from us. We
realized that the poets we admired had become
dangerous.
England will never let Ireland go so long as
geographical conditions make her a dangerous
back-door neighbor in the hands of a designing
power.
Otherwise England would gladly let Ireland

Fools imagine that it is possible to destroy a
system by killing man.
Mckinley was killed by crazed anarchist.
Clemenceau was wounded by Bolshevist
Kurt Eisner was killed by partisan of Autoc-
racy.
1t appears that the apostles of violence wheth-
er autocratic or anarchstic vary little in their
ideas. They seem to think that gun is the sole
answer to an argument. Some are better shots

Sane men do not believe in violence. They
are willing to settle their differences by lawful

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.

''What about the league of nations?"
This question is propounded by someone near
ly every day.
The best answer is that few people know
ANYTHING about it.
Of this much we are sure-President Wilson
has taken upon his shoulders the responsibility
of fully representing the American people at
Versailles. He also wishes to have his plan Of
Peace League adopted by the conference. The
senate has been practically ignored. The people
one way or another, have not been informed
They do not know whether they aye for the pres
idents plan or against it. In fact they know lit
tie about it.
Let this league plan>go before the American
people,. Let them understand it. Let them pass
upon it.
And finally let number-not a few or just
one man-discuss and dissect the proposition in
our national legislature. Then if it seems the
best for America and the world let us adopt it.
If not let us reject it.

YOUR WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

People who want War Savings Stamps re
deemed should understand that postmasters are
directed not to pay war saving stamp certificates
on which the names of the owners have not been
entered or have been changed. Savings stamps
ere not transferable save in cases of death or
disability. Firms known to be buying war saw
ing certificates for future sale may not collect
from any postmaster. What's the use, anyhow
The average man will not have as much money
in future years if he has his stamps redeemed
now. Men think they can make lot more than
the governments four per cent, compounded,
but statistics show that they don't. Keep your
stamps until you really have to have the money.

WHAT is BOLSHEVISM?

What is Bolshevism? Summed up it looks like
2 war between the HAYES and Have Nots. Looked
at that way there is nothing new about it. The
HAYES ran things in Europe for many year and
believe us they worked some pretty rotten deals.
Now the Have Nots have Strengthened their
crooked backs and are swinging right and left at
the HAYES. The Have Nots laugh when you
talk about the sacredness of our institutions.
They say ito He'll with your sacred institutions
we never benefited by them They say their
job is to tear down until not a stone remains of
the old structure. Then someone can build anew
they care not who or how. That's Bolshevism.

FREE SPEECH ESSENTIAL.

After we have cleaned out these foreign agi-
tators who came to America as agents of trouble
let US by all means resume the right of free
speech Half the vaporings will dissolve in thin
air if allowed utterance. Bottled up they brew as
poison Democracy has defeated Autocracy.
1t can meet Anarchy in fair fight and destroy
it too. Let us meet the issue fairly ano with

equal privilege to all with free field to the man
whose ability and effort can carry them as far as
he wishes to go. That is the American way.
That is the right way.

KNOCKS AND BOOSTS.

A cynical observer opines that the whole
reason for the municipal court at Platteville is
that the lawyers there don't like the long trip
to Lancaster. In other words it is the old desire
of Platteville to be county seat breaking out in
new form This cynic says that next the law
yers will want easy chairs for conveyance to the
court room and that Roy Grindell has bill up
his sleeve for that purpose. Shame on you for
such suspicious.
