FACTS, NOT FANCIES

President Wilson's plan of discus

general terms will not go far with
practical people. A league of nations
is a practical thing or worse than
nothing. The sooner the President
gets down to brass tack3 and tells
the country just exactly what the
proposed constitution means, and
what its effect will be upon the Mon
roc Doctrine, the immigration qucs
ton, the tariff question, and a lot
of other purely American problems,
the better satisfied the country will
be and the better it will be for our

Lord Halifax. who is about to re-
tire from the presidency of the
English Church union after more
than fifty years in Office, reached
his S0th birthday today. AS presi-
dent Of the English church union
he has welded considerable power.
No important move of the high
church party in England for many
years has been made without his
directing hand. Some twenty years
ago he took a leading part in the
scheme to bring about union be-
tween the churches of Rome and
England and personally went to
Rome. A clever rhetorican. he
also possesses a high gift of ora
tory, but he failed to bring Pope
Leo XIII to his views. Lord Hall
fax succeeded his father in the title
in 1885. The latter received his
peerage for his services as chan
cellor of the exchequer, first lord
of the admiralty and secretary of
state for India. On his mothers
side Lord Halifax a grandson
of the great statesman, Earl Grey.

as a matter of course If there is any danger
it lies in carrying matters too far. The crowds
are apt to be a bit too eager, to interfere with
getting the men in line and to press in upon
the parade. The public can contribute very
materially to the success of the occasion by
the exercise of little forbearance.
Obviously it will be of the question for
each person to see the parade at different places
Thousands Of people will be in the streets and
the route is but 80 blocks in length. The best
way to do will be to secure a vantage point
and hold it till the show is over. BY all means
the crowds should give the soldiers plenty of
room in which to detrain. Family greetings

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Noles on the Face.

Please tell me II there is any
way of getting rid OF moles on the
face. NJ. F.
Answer - There are several
ways. Go to a physician who spe-
cializes in diseases of the skin
your family doctor can recommend
a good one. Depending on the
character of the mole. the electric
needle, carbon dioxide snow, eau
terry or scalpel may be used.
Blood and Iron.
Would you recommend Blaud
iron pills as a blood tonic? The
reason l ask is because l want to
take something to make me strong
err. A. h.
Answer-No, l have never OBJ
served any apparent benefit from
taking iron pills. If there is in
sufficient iron in the blood, the
best way to supply the deficiency
is in the diet. All fresh greens
and green vegetables are rich in
the most available kind of organic
iron, namely. chlorophyl, which is
chemically identical with hemo-
globin. the red coloring matter OF
the blood corpuscles. The amount
Of iron in your blood. however, has
nothing in particular in common
with your strength.

with us. There is just few years

this is their house as much as mine
and If they didn't do the work it
would never be done, and all sorts
Of things that are mean. They are
both of age and working, but they
do not pay a cent OF board. They
spend their money for clothes and
to have a good time.
We bought all of our furniture
new when we went to housekeeping
except three or four pieces which
they brought when they decided to
stay with us. Nothing was said
about their living with us, but they
came for visit and decided to stay
without my asking them to. told
their father we didn't get along, but
That was four years ago and things
are gettingsworse all the time.
l do all of my own work and
also keep a roomer and boarder
and spend all of my money for the
children and house, trying 10 make
ends meet. We have had much sick
ness this winter and are consider
ably in debt. All I have this spring
is FIVE dollar hat.
l loved my husband dearly al
first, but he let's the girls talk and
do as they please regardless of me

HyperhepatOsis.


Please don't turn away mad,
friends. The title OF this talk is
purely fictitious. There is no such
disease. 1t is all imaginary. But
Just listen and learn how reason
when served with a good dash OF
the sauce OF plausibility.
1t is necessary for you to know,
first, that the liver is the largest
organ in the body and hence the
easiest to find with the aid of any
good almanac. In live subject or
a dead one you just can't miss it

and grab. If the subject is a live
one. he will vince. S'nuff. Every
thing explained-the sallow COM
plexion, liver spots. grouchy dis
position, coated tongue. bad taste
n everything. Remember. this is
all nonsense; in reality the liver
has nothing to do with such symp-
toms; more probably the poor
thing doesn't make sufficient use
of the lungs. The subject will
ingly pleads guilty to the charge
OF having a torpid liver or "disor-
dered" liver. as the almanac calls
It, playing safe. Call a man or
woman lazy and you court trouble;
but call his or her liver lazy and
you gain popularity and conf
dence.
Mr.. Wiseheimer, however, views
things from a novel angle. Wise

out OF the beaten path. Mr.. Wise
heimer called the other day to
doctor with me; that is. he in
tended to attach himself as a sort
of temporary partner in diagnosis
and therapeutics, and Wiseheimer
usually prefers to let the doctor
play the role of silent partner. So
I listened while he explained that
his liver was overactiVe.
Here was an original conception.
One is familiar enough with over
active hearts. nervous systems, and
other functionally excited innards,
but an overactive liver is really
unique. Hyperhepatosis, by golly!
Yes, Wiseheimer had arrived at
his diagnosis in the most logical
way. He had Investigated his fam
lily history and discovered that all
his ancestors and relatives had

wage OF $50 per month. CThis Is $50 per
month for the calendar year,.
There IS a serious shortage of trained
teachers that is due to the larger salaries
paid in other vocations. small enrolment in
our normal schools, and the growing unrest in
the teaching force
Commissioner C1axton of the Z. S. educa-
tional bureau said: Teachers are now paid
less for their work than any other class of
workers, and the increase in their pay in the
last few years has in nowise been in keeping
with the increase of pay for other workers. or
with the increase in the cost OF living"
While the cost of living has increased 80
per cent, salaries of teachers have increased
teachers are leaving the schools. and of neces-
sity their places taken by men and women
of less native ability, training and experience
Many of these places are not filled at all.
AS an inevitable result the character of
the schools is being lowered Just at a time
when it ought TO be raised to a much higher
standard. The only remedy is larger pay for
teachers.
The proposed bill to raise the state school
fund from 100000 to $4,000 900. under these
circumstances, is moderate and reasonable. If
this applied to teachers salaries alone
it would raise them Nut s14 per month.
Equally important is the effort to extend
the work Of night schools. community schools
factory schools and other local efforts to Amer
icanize the foreign born citizens. Fine work
has been done in this direction already, but
very largely by volunteer effort. Locally
splendid work has been done in these fields.
The system Of continuation or compulsory
part-time schools is based on the fundamen-
tally democratic principle that the state should
provide facilities for the education of every
child. This has been provided for in approving
the Smith Hughes law.
These appropriations, if passed, establish
certain standards which must be met and
maintained by local communities. To do this.
and further meet the demands for increased
growth, additional revenue is necessary. This
revenue can be obtained only by a vote of the
people.
An additional one per cent for educational
purposes will be put up to the taxpayers of

Another Warning to Game Law
Violators.

There is an organization called the Ameri-
can Game Protective association Frank Nc
AlIister, attorney general for the state of Mis-
souri,, has been recommended by Senator Reed
for a federal iudgeshp. The attorney general
likes to hunt and he is not very particular as
to the season, either, or at least that is the
allegation raised against his candidacy. 1t is
claimed that he shot ducks March on Stultz
lake, Missouri, in violation of the federal mi
gratory bird law. Therefore the Game Pro-
tective association has filed protest with the
president and with Attorney General A
Mitchell Palmer against his nomination. If
the appointment is made there is apt to be
battle over confirmation in the senate. Very
likely Mr.. McAllister will not become a fed
eral Judge.
At any rate the incident will have a whole
some effect upon those who have not been in
clined to pay much attention to the federal
game laws.
