Hard to Please

If a man is not contented with
this good old world in June, if
his aching grief is vented in
pessimistic tune, he is hopeless.
he is chronic, he is full of prunes
and bile, and there is no earthly
tonic that will brace him up to
smile. For in June the world is
gaudy, everything's sight to
see. and the mansion and the
soddy should alike be full of
glee; and the schoolboy should
be beaming as along the road he
swings; and the grandsire
should be dreaming of lot of
pleasant things; and the farmer
with his horses should explain
how good he feels; the NOR
tician with his corpses should be
kicking up his heels. There is
something out of kilter with the
sad desponding loon who will
let his sorrow filter through his
countenance in June. If a man
is grim and sober. shy of happi-
ness and vim. on a bleak day in
October. | can sympathize with
him. Ii man is far from mer-
rv. if he mutters Gee Whiz,'
in the blast of January, | can
mix my tears with his. If the
language he'd dismember, seek
ing words that scar like sin, in
the middle of December, | Can
hail him as twin. But this
rosy month is waning and I'd
give no picayune for the man
who is complaining in the happy
days OF June.

prived of Convenience by Res
ignation of Postmaster.

Members of the North Capitol and
lexington Citizens Association are
again petitioning Postmaster Chance
for a branch post Office in the vicin-
ity of r and North Capitol streets.

dress a letter to the postmaster ask
ing for establishment of a perma-

20 secure a post office Tor the Ecking-
ton section, which. it was thought,
was closed some time ago with the
appointment of Dexter S. Hussey as
postmaster and the opening of
branch in his store at the corner of
Lincoln road and Quincy street north
east. But MIR. Hussey found il was
impossible to attend to the postal
end of the business in connection
with his own. nd last week he gave
it up. This was done. it was said.
despite the fact that he was doing
more postal business than that done

citation must renew its fight and
again secure a location and another
branch postmaster.

THE Value
OF AGOOD EDUCATION
Fred Irland Addresses Eastern
High School Graduates-John
Temple Graves at Western.

The danger which lies in children
leaving school before the completion
of their education was emphasized by
Fred Irland; official reporter of the
House of Representatives. addressing
the two-year graduating class of
Eastern High School last night.
This temptation to get out in the
world and earn money was aggra-
waited during the war. he said. be-
cause the demand for employees led
employers to offer young people un-
usual salaries.
Mr. frland also emphasized the ad-
vantages of thorough study of Eng
lish. There were only ten to re-
ceive diplomas in the two-year class.

By POP.

The fact that men and women who
work with their hands are being bet
ter paid than teachers, who work
with their brains, was deplored by
Representative Simeon D. Fess of
Ohio. addressing the graduates Of
Armstrong Manual Training School
in the Dunbar auditorium last night
when you consider that a teacher
must put in four years in high school
and four years more In college to
prepare for her life work, while
others who do not need an hour of
preparation receive higher remunera-
ton. 1 say there is something wrong.
1t should be corrected"
Public School Efficiency.
Mr.. Fess paid tribute to the ef-
f1ciency of the public school system
of the District and made special ref
erence to the fact that it gives equal
opportunity to white and colored to
be educated. Addressing his colored
audience. Mr.. Fess continued:
"All you need is an equal oppor-
tunity to make your way in this coun-
try of ours. You should not ask
more: because that would not be
granted to any race"
frequently nowadays bewailing the
fact that the time for opportunities
has passed. On the contrary, said
the representative, there never was
a period in the history Of this coun-
try when opportunity knocked SO
hard at the door Of the young man
and woman leaving school.

THE GUARANTEED TONIC
FOR WOMEN

Stelia-Vitae has been in success.
ful use in the treatment of those diseases
peculiar to women for more than q
third of century.
For nearly ten years it has been
sold under plain, positive guarantee
to benefit. Less than one bot
tie out Of every one thousand
sold has been refunded for, and eyerv
claim for refund has been satisfied.
Thousands of letters like this praising
Stella-Vltae and telling of benefit to
suffering women have been received.
nrs. e. n. Russell, of Mill Springs,
N. c., gratefully writes us as follows:
Il was in a most wretched condi-
ton; had palpitation of the heart
and would swell and bloat in a most
distressing way. When | began
using StelIa-Vitae I weighed 108
pounds. Now [ weigh 135. I am
more thankful than ! can ever tell
you for the great good this won
derful medicine has done me-"
Mrs Russell was at that critical
period, the "change," and her sincere
gratitude for the blessed relief will be
understood and appreciated by every
woman who reads her letter.
Ste!Ea-Yltae has proved a boon to
suffering vornanhood, to young girls
approaching their first vital period, to
women approaching the anguish Of
childbirth, to women approaching the
"ehange of life" Ste.Ea-Vitae strength
ems the female organs and promotes
regularity in the monthly function.
