SPLENDID WAY TO
REDUCE YOUR WEIGHT

Ihere is perhaps no one thing that
SO plainly shows the passing of our
youth as the horrible tendency to put
on too much weight after we have
reached the age of 25 or 80 wears.
However young our faces may appear
the sagging, fabby figure and forty
inch waist gives US away"
The cause of this over stoutness is
that our stomachs convert the food
we eat into fat because there is not
enough oxygen in the blood to produce
E proper combustion to destroy the
excess fatty tissue. Fat people will
be pleased to learn of simple method
that is wonderfully efficient in redu-
cling weight, quickly and easily with
out starving diet, violent massage
or strenuous exercise. Go to any drug
store and get a box of Phynola: take
five grains after each meal and at bed
time This treatment will often give
quick relief from overburdening fat.
Phynola taken at meal time assists the
stomach in giving you the benefit of
the food you eat; at the same time
dissolves the fatty tissue from any
part Of the body where there is ex.
cessive fat. By this method many
have reduced their weight a pound
day and there is no f1abbiness left.
Conkey Drug Co. can supply you with
the genuine Phynola at small COST

Dinner Stories

Germany's denseness in sensing the
necessity for her strict compliance
with the first armistice terms made
one think Of the banker at Weeping
Water, Neb., who was asked by an
impecunious farmer for a loan. The
banker was one of those people who
are deaf for commercial purposes
The farmer was chemically wanting to
borrow, and his security was getting
shaky.
I'D like to borrow $4,000" pleaded
the farmer
The banker cupped his hand behind
his lame ear and said:
Speak little louder and cut down
the amount"

happiness and prosperity. The quicker the be-
levers in bolshevism quit trying to build social
structure on the bubbles of living without work.
ing" the quicker will the era of readjustment be
over. This proposition is fundamental one
which no new theories of the social state will
succeed in overthrowing Some of the ancients
tried to work out an Ideal state" in which all
would be idle, but they soon learned that it led
to anarchy and ruin. Man must work. His very
nature makes him a worker. All his progress is
due to the labor of his ancestors. Remove the
Statutory and anirnating influence of work from
our lives and you reduce US to the stage of bar
barians and by graduation to that of savages. A
civilized man relishes work, both to keep mind
and hand busy and to furnish the enjoyment that
comes from task well performed.

my nephew, James Hogan. who is

especially the evening meal, he would
begin to complain of severe pains in
his stomach which would increase IN
til he would go into commissions.
These spells would come on five or
six times a month and last about thir-
ty minutes and he would be uncon-
scious for an hour. Some said he had
heart trouble and others said it was
vertigo. His condition kept him down
to almost skeleton and it was pitiful
to see how he suffered.

But all that awful load of anxiety

having to take other medicines, but he
seemed to like Tanlac and since TAX

boy. He wants to eat all the time and
can eat anything without it hurting

What Pedagogical
Method Was Used
in Early Schoolso

The first school teachers of Wayne
county, and those of many years after
the first. had strenuous days worl
TO earn the meager pay which has al
ways been that of a school teacher
1t was considered their first duty
to be in the school room at dawn, tc
make the fire and sweep the school,
house, then collect the copy books
and write line for a copy in each
one, and to repair and replenish the
goose quill pens.
BY the time the teacher had done
these things. nearly all the pupils had
arrived and the days work was com
menced. There was no program fol
the days instruction, and pupils re
cited individually or in classes. II
was the custom for the pupil who ar
rived first to recite first
Bright students would become en-.
ylous of each other. and some times
they would reach the school house
before the teacher did in the morning
Teachers were valued for the amount
of teaching they did, and of a good
teacher it was said The taught from
sun to sun" When one round of reel
tations was finished, another began
and the pupils who were at school
earliest recited the most times during
the day
The teacher began the day by recita
tons starting where those of the pre-
vious day had left off, If crowded in
his work. he delegated an advanced
pupil to hear the recitations of the
smaller children. In schools of a later
period. from 1910 to 1850. had begun
the system which, with notifications
is carried on in country schools until
today.

The People and the Mob


Henry Watterson, retired editor and publicist,
in an issue of Leslie's Weekly, analyses the dan
ger of the mob spirit and cautions against action
that springs spontaneously without a careful
boldly asserts that mobs have rarely been right,
Except when capably led" In these instances, it
is safe to assume that the leaders were thinkers
who had course of action mapped out long be-
fore they led their followers, and based their acts
on conclusions attained by hard study and care
full estimate of the result
Mr.. Watterson says:
THE people en- masse constitute what we call
the mob. Mobs have rarely been right-never
except when capably led It was the mob of
Jerusalem that did the unoffendng Jesus of
Nazareth to death. It was the mob in Paris that
made the Reign of Terror. From that day to
this mobs have seldom been tempted, even had a
chance to go wrong that they have not gone
wrong The people is fetish. 1t was the
people, msled who precipitated the South into
the madness of secession and the ruin of hope
lessly unequal war of sections. It was the people
backing if not compelling the Kaiser, who COM
mitted hara-kari for themselves and their empire
in Germany. 1t is the people leaderless who are
now making havoc in Russia. Throughout the
length and breadth of Christendom in all lands
and ages, the people, when turned loose, have
raised every inch of hell to the square foot they
were able to raise, often upon the slightest pre-
text, or no pretext at all.
The argument of Mr.. Watterson is not to be
interpreted as an attack on the rights of the
people or their capacity for self-government or
self -detern1in The aoed editor has fouoht
too long and hard for the people to be supporter
of this theory. His contention is that hasty
action usually leads to dire results and that fore
thought is preferable to regret for deeds done in
passion and the fever heat of excitement. There
in he is right.
It wasn't mob spirit that led the colonists to
demand representation if they were to be taxed
Logic was the foundation on which was based
that principle. But it was manifestation of the
mob spirit when the people of Germany yelled and
clamored for an unrighteous war to perpetuate
militarism that led to their undoing
The people year by year are abandoning re-
course to the torch and block and are winning
their victories by the ballot and active particpa
ton in the government. In a republic there is
little need of the riotous manifestation of mob
spirit. The founders of the nation provided
legislative machinery that enables US to obtain
redress of wrongs and ameoration of conditions
1t is healthy sign of our national life that we
are growing in the conservatism that makes for
efficient citizenship through the use of orderly
means Therein lies strength and the hope
of our nation. The mob spirit is being supplanted
by aggressive public opinion that is on the side
of right and deprecates the wrong
