SUPERSTITION HARD TO DOWN
Quaint Belief In Reference to Wea.
ding Customs That Prevail In This
and Other Countries.

There are more superstitions in ref
erence to the marriage ceremony than
in reference to any other in common
life. They refer to such matters as
the clothes to be worn by the bride, to
rhe year, month and day Of the we'd
ding. In Sweden 1t Is believed that If
Il girl is fond of cats she will not be an
old maid. We should expect the oppo-
site.
One Of our proverbs says that it Is
i'll luck for bride to see her face in q
glass by candle. Another that q we'd
ding feast postponed bodies bad luck.
Bees must be told of wedding and
get some of the cake. The pins used
in the dress of the bride at her we'd
ding must be all thrown away; II re-
tanned by the bridesmaids they will not
marry before Whitsuntide. A girl
must beware Of being three times a
bridesmaid, for she never will be
bride.
1t augurs Ill for a wedding II a bride
does not weep profusely. No witch
can shed more than three tears, and
those from her left eye only. A copi-
Gus flood Of tears gives assurance to
the husband that the lady has not
plighted her troth to satan and Is no
witch.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

If YOU DESIRE A
ROSY COMPLEXION
Gays we can't help but look
better and feel better
after an inside bath.

To look ones best and feel ones best
is to enjoy an inside bath each morn
ing to flush from the system the pre-
vious days waste, sour Concentrations
and poisonous toxins before 1t is alb
sorbed into the blood. Just as coal,
when it burns, leaves behind q certain
amount of incombustible material in the
form of ashes, so the food and drink
taken each day leaves in the allment-
airy organs q certain amount OF 1ndi-
gestible material, which if not eliminat-
ed, forms toxins and poisonS which are
then sucked into the blood through the
very ducts which are intended to suck
in only nourishment to sustain the
body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon
arising, a glass of hot water with
teaspoonful Of limestone phosphate in
it, which is a harmless means OF wash
ing the waste material and toxins from

before putting more food into the stom-

of the Atlantic coast red sails have

people of the coast made their sails
of tanned skins sewn together. Either
they had no flax or did not understand
its use, but the more likely reason In
Caesars opinion was that they knew
no ordinary sail would stand against
the ocean winds, owing to the great
weight of their boats. In time the

cises which have no relation to war. Let
the schools and colleges take their own

COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING

COMPULSORY MILITARY TRAINING.
The resolution introduced in the Yer
mont legislature to investigate the adj
visibility of introducing compulsory
military and physical training in the
secondary schools of Vermont looks like
an odd and out place relic of war days
which the nations of the world, as if
with one accord, are trying to forget and
to make impossible of repetition. To
introduce compulsory military training
in the secondary schools of Vermont
would be for us in this state to pre-,
suppose that peace is an impossibility
and that a league of nations is but a
myth, for one purpose of such a system
would be to inculcate the first rudiments
of the military life in every boy in the
state of Vermont (presuming, of course,
that secondary schools means high
schools, academies and seminaries) a
system of preliminary military training
is planned to build a groundwork of a
warlike people, people trained in the
instruments of war if not a people inn
bued with the belligerent spirit itself
TO make it obligatory for every boy en-.
tering high school to become subjective
to course of military training would
be to teach him that peace is subserv.
lent to war always and that war runs
through the current of American life
That teaching would perhaps be uncon-
scious but it would nevertheless stick in
his mind and develop. There is an I'M

There Is some truth in that. But the whole tendency Of
governmental invasion Of the field Of private business
is to crease in the ranks Of the government service an at
ttude Of superiority. toward the general public and a
feeling Of irresponsibility thereto. The present case lie but
an extreme example of what would be the usual and or

It has been, alleged that even with the deplorably
poor service which has been given in. this matter Of food
sales, the movement had a salutary effect in bringing
about a general lowering Of prices. There is no reason

have dropped. But there is no evidence to show that
government sales caused any Of the reduction. The re-
duction was due in part to ordinary commercial causes.
such as are operative always in MARKET conditions. It
was due in part to agitation against pronteering, which
agitation created a condition in the public mind which
caused individuals who might have been inclined to ex-
act undue profits to refrain. And it is quite probable
that threats to prosecute prohteers. and the actual prose-
cution Of a few. may have contributed to the general
result. All these things could have operated without the
sale Of a dollars worth of provisions by the governm ent,
and we haven't got our goods yet. anyway. ~
1t is only fair to the local postohce force, inasmuch
as the orders were placed through the postofce, and it
was announced that delivery would be made by mail, to
exonerate this department and its employees from any
blame in the matter. The postomce merely transmitted
the orders and the money, and will deliver the goods,
whenever they are rendered to it at the other end Of the
line When that viii be nobody seems to be able to find

II LEGAL ASPECT

Attorney General Palmer Celebrates the legal fea-
lures Of the coal strike which were briefly touched on
by the president in his statement of a few days ago. And
he seates directly what was to be inferred from the pres
tdents statement, that whatever is illegal in the strike
is 50 because Of peculiar circumstances arising from the
war. and not because Of the results which must flow
from the strike i
BY virtue Of a law duly enacted the control Of the
nations fuel was vested in an administrative board
which exercised such supervision from time to time as it
deemed necessary to. meet varying conditions as they
arose. Events have moved SO rapidly that we are apt to
forget things which attracted wide attention but a few
months ago.. But If we recall one Of the first acts Of
the fuel administration We must be impressed by the
tremendous scope Of the powers invested in that body.
That act was the Inauguration of the series of "heatless"
days which lasted for several weeks. In that act the
fuel administration not only asserted it's authority over
the commercial handling of coal-is mining and distri-
button. It issued orders as to how the coal should be
used after it had passed into the hands Of the private
consumers. It closed factories. Office buildings and pub
lie places of all kinds. It assumed the right to say that
a man should not burn his own coal in his own bust
ness. ,-. ST.
The wisdom Of that order, and the need tor It have
been matters of controversy. But that it was illegal has
never been established. The presumption Is that the
fuel administration had authority to issue and enforce
the orders which it gave. an act much more drastic and
far-reachins than it would be to place men in the pits
to mine coal ".".N ,
And whatever legal power the fuel administration
possessed twelve months, or eighteen months ago. 1t pos
sesses now. The belieerent status Of the nation is I'M
changed. We are not fighting. because there is no need
for fighting; but we are at war, nevertheless. Military
activities have been suspended in anticipation Of the re-
turn Of peace. but peace is not yet an accomplished fact.
Laws which were enacted for the duration Of the war
arc still Mn force, and boards which have not been dis
solved have all the legal powers that they ever possessed.
The fuel administrator must have as complete powers
to open mines as he had to close factories, and IL he un-
dertakes to exercise that power it is not likely that he
can be stopped because he seeks to supply coal to keep
the home fires burning rather than to make steak with
which to carry Isr nunistons aaress the ocean,
