Vicously the knife was thrust into

things were breaking lovely this beau

We showed aside the mail and be-

iliZation all wrong? Which was the

the grapefruit it is true, but just as

the job as soon as it was completed.
Soon the cool sweet summer nights
will close over him as he lies upon
some grassy bank and gaZes up at
the stars, while the chorus Of croak-
ing frogs lulls him to sleep. The price
of gasoline has no terrors for him

wonderful system of civilization.

ARE WE THE WISE ONES?

He was sitting in the sun on a
pile of lumber. Beside him lay the
kit of vagrant umbrella member
and he had just unwrapped huge
sandwich of bread and meat which
some hospitable woman had given
him. "Good morning" we saluted
cheerfully as we passed, for there
was something in the sunshine that
made us feel genial. GOOD morning"
he responded with equal cheerfuli
ness as he cast aside the wrapping
from his sandwich and eyed the gene
rous slices of bread with satisfaction.
AS we sat down at the desk and
became busy with the mornings mail
we could not get the tramp umbrella
member out of our mind. Always
there kept recurring the thought,
which is the wise mantle happy
go-lucky knight of the road or the
the chap who struggles to make
something of himself and keep up
appearances
The first letter opened was no.
tice from the bank that note we
had discounted two months ago had
not been paid and we were called
upon to take it up. My friend on
the lumber pile never knew the joy
of being compelled to replace mon
ey h had earned and spent because
the fellow that owed him had de-
faulted. The next envelope contain

SHARP PENALTIES ARE PROVIDED FOR
 ALIEN SLACKES

In order to provide more drastic penalties than are now contemplated for alien slackers who withdrew their citizenship papers to escape the draft, a special committee appointed by the National Executive Committee Of The American Legion will recon- mend to the House Committee on Inn miGra ation and Naturalization a more stringent amendment to the propos- ed Lufkin Bill, II. R. 9416, which has been introduced in Congress with the support of the Legion. The committee appointed consists of Thomas w. Miller of Delaware chairman Of the Legislative Commit tee of The American Legion, PhiIo C. Calhoun, of Connecticut, and John F. J. Herbert Of Nassa chUsett
 The National Executive Committee believes that the first section of the bill which provides that aliens who claimed exemption from military ser vice of the United States on the grounds that they were citizens of other countries shall not be permitted to apply for citizenship or be admit ted ciizenship for period of five years is wholly inadequate. It is the opinion of the committee that alien sIackers should be denied citizenship altogether and it was the demand ot the St. Louis caucus of The American Legion that these persons be deport- ed.
 Although 1t is in favor of absolute deportation of the alien stacker, the National Executive Committee real izes that such a course may not be practicable. However, the special committee appointed to recommend amendment of the Lufkin Bill was specifically instructed to include in that amendment provisions in ac- cordance with which alien slackers will incur a total disability for citi- zenship and their names will be prac- tically posted in the communities in which they live

The trouble seems to be confined to the throat and I can feel Jumps under my jaws at each side l am very sensitive to drafts and one of my friends says that I sneeze if I change my mind though most people sneeze only when they change their clothing. Our climate is very change able here and I dread the long. cold winter and being shut indoors as we were last winter on account Of the coal shortage.
 Since childhood I have suffered with constipation and so far I have found nothing that would give me re- lief. What can I do l. get relief for my throat and overcome the coughI
 -J. NJ. c.
 (Answer). The condition which you seem to ignore in your request for help is really the most important. You should recall that for more years than you have been living I have been teaching people to remove the cause. Nature will do the curing. You are suffering with auto-intox:ca-- ton or .self-po po:soning I explained this 10 you about five years ago and told you that unless you made a radical change in your diet, you would have serious trouble later on It will be more difficult to cure your constipation now than it would have been then, but unless you go at it vigorously and in the way that I have detailed in a personal letter you will continue to suffer and cough and the cold will not leave you. Your tonsils will grow worse because it f5 enlarged tonsils that you feel under your jaw. Now get busy, clean up and clean out. Get the waste and poisonous matter out of your al1men- tary canal. especially the colon. Those sick headaches that you told me about in your letter last January are caused by retained fecal matter in the colon. The careful and general change in your diet, of which I toiS you is absolutely necessary if yop want to get well and stay well.
