Wild Horses a Problem.

that France was not in the market
for Montana horse meat on any terms.

Greek LANGUAGE Purified.

William Stearns Davis. in review
of European history in the Century
magazine, relates that in 1871 the old
Greek language had long become so
corrupted with Italian, Slavic. and AL
bantam words that it appeared a mere
iargOn, compared with the tongue of
Plato. The very race. it was alleged
had intermarried so freely with all
the other Levantfne folk, and espe-
clally with the Siavs and Albanians.
as to make any claim to classical an
cestry absurd. But at the same time
the French Revolution came to stir the
souls and imaginations of all Europe
there was an awakening of the old
national Greek spirit. The language
was purified and gradually brought
back closer to ancient models.

To be possessed of a head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
q matter of using little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get
small bottle of KnowltOn's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, f1uffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprOuting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moiSten a cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

ALL IN ONE CLASS
Classification Bourgeois" Fits
Every American.
In Reality 1t is Term of the Highest
Honor, Though Anarchistic Enc
mics of All Society
viii Deny Ii.

The average Americans understand
ing of the word bourgeois" is reflect
ed in a common saying which has
passed from the country newspaper
office into ordinary speech: You can't
run a nonpareil newspaper In a bour-
geois town." The word, so far as it
is used in its typographical sense (and
pronounced "burjoice"), is synony-
nous with rusticity and lack of enter
prise. For the term in its European,
social sense, signifying trading mid
die class, the average American has
never had any use st all, because he
had never been aware of any such di-
vision or classification of the popula-
ton. If he knows the word at all it
is only through his reading of Euro
pean books or papers. In its con-
tinental European meaning it is en-
tirely strange to our own usage.
But it is now made familiar through
the attacks of bolsheviki and Sparta
Gus people upon all the elements of
society except their own. Another
word, in their hostile and hating sense,
is fiagrantly misused. In strictness.
the term means the trading middle
class citizen. Anciently, it included
artisans as well if they dwelt in cities
and lived in comfortable houses. The
word distinguishes certain people from
royalties, from the nobility. the gently
Or at least the upper gentry-on the
and poor town laborers on the other.
1t is the same as "burgher" or citizen.
and Shakespeare used ''citizen" in ex-
actly the same sense, as when he
makes Jaques speak of the deer
sweeping along "full of pasture" as
"fat and greasy citizens" or when
Imogen, employing rhe word adjec-
lively, as we do bourgeois" declares
that she is mot so citizen a wanton
as to seem to die ere sick" In Moli-
ere's Bourgeois GGrItiihomme," the
meaning of the word Is dramatized in
comedy of the, attempted evolution
Gotten accomplished) of the Citizen"
into the gentleman" But all this
true and ancient meaning is swept
aside by the bOlshevist, who makes
the word signify all people but him
self. For him, there are in the world
but the proletariat worker, the money
less industrial wage-receiyer, on the
one hand. and the bourgeois" on the

MuItipIies Capacity Of Phone Wires.

An achievement more extraordinary
by far than making two blades of
grass grow where one grew before, is
the sending for five telephone CONVEX
sations simultaneously over one pair
of wires where but one conversation
could travel before, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The new invention
also makes it possible to send 40 tele-
graph messages, simultaneously over
one pair of wires, or they can be used
in part for telephoning and in part
for telegraphing. Ten conversations
can be carried on over two pairs of
wires which formerly could be used
for maximum of three conversations
by means of the sO-caled phantom
circuit" Tests covering several weeks
have been made of the system on a
Misunderstanding line and have
been pronounced successful in every
way.

When this tube is infamed you have a

A TREMENDOUS JOB INCREASE
OUR PRODUCTION

OOR PRODUCTION
In this emergency we tried to do our
part. We secured the country for raw
materials-our Traffic Manager spent
his days riding freight cars in-we
shipped raw materials in carload lots
by express and pleaded with manufac-
turers to increase their deliveries to US.
But it was slow process. Some of
our raw materials are produced only
in Japan-supplies in this country
were low and shipments required three
months to come from the Far East.
Then we had to recruit and train
skilled labor. We brought our sales
men into the factory and trained them
as fOremen. We invented new ma
chinery, and managed to install it on
Christmas Day. so as not to interfere
with our daily production.
143 JARS OF VAPoRUB EVERY

ready to put on our night shift, and
since then our laboratory has been
running day and night. To feed our

VapORub a minute or one million and
eighty thousand weekly, has required
a force of 500 people. Our Cafe De
