PUMPKIN PIE

Let all the world run riot in the after
math of war,
Let kings come trembling from their
thrones and princes be no more!
What matters it to me today that
times are out of joint?
There still exists one golden bliss
to which proudly point;
The world is sick with madness now,
hear the grumblers sigh
But thank the Lord I still can get a
wedge of pumpkin pie.
The murmurs of mems discomfort are
heard throughout the land,
The strikers mob the factory doors
and toilers idly stand;
No man can tell what lies ahead nor
what the morn shall bring.
The world is topsy-turvy now, but
still smile and sing.
For spite of change and sudden shock
and anger's hue and cry,
still can sit and eat my fill of gol-
den pumpkin pie.
Let men still rave and rant and caviI
as they will
Let pessimists with tongues of gloom
say all the world is i'll,
I'll keep my courage to the last; be-
hind my humble door
I'll greet my children with kiss
and romp upon the fleer
And I'll forget the storm outside and
let the brickbats fly
And be content within a world that
serves me pumpkin pie.

EFFECTIVE WORK AGAINST HEALTH MENACES
THROUGH THE NEWSPAPERS.

Credit for making effective work against great health
possible given to the newspapers of the United
States by Dr. Charles j. Hatfield eminent physician and
managing director of the National tuberculosis Asso-
citation.
Appeals to the people in these modern days." says
Dr. Hatfield depend largely quick transmission for
their effectiveness Word of mouth 81 too slow and in
many would reach only few thousand people be-
fore the opportune time for action had expired Only
through the press message be promptly carried to
millions, This method has been the main reliance of
the National tuberculosis Association and its affiliated
organizations in their efforts to arouse the people to
realization of the great disease menace confronting t.
been timely and generous.
without the vision of the American editor, who came
to the front strongly for all patriotic campaigns du
ing the war and for every other for the public
good 1t would be impossible to raise enough money to
carry on the intensive campaign against tuberculosis now
getting under way, even though such movement is
vitality necessary to protect and the health of
the nation Again the press has come forward with all
the power at its command It is telling the people IN
every corner of the country of their Danger and the
necessity of taking steps to combat it. It is convincing
them of the wisdom of providing the required funds
estimated at approximately $4,000 OOO-by buying Red
Cross Christmas Seals literally during the nationwide
tenday sale which is to begin December rst The press
in short is assuring the success of the great campaign
against consumption" service for which ant-tuber
euoss organizations everywhere owe the newspapers of
the country debt of gratitude"

VIOLENCE AND CRIME.

In address at Pittsburgh DR.. Henry Van Dyke
former American Minister TO The Netherlands assorted
that crimes of violence have increased in the United
States in spite of prohibition He dis not to be
understood to say it result Of prohibition but
that the added influence against crime which prohibition
gives was not enough to prevent increase of crime
Statistics show that there have been fewer
for crimes and msdemeanors of all sorts since July
last than during the corresponding period of previous
years that Jail population is smaller as whole and
institutions dealing with the derects OF society less
crowded Nevertheless, it is common knowledge that
crimes of violence bank robberies riots etc. have in
creased due to the general upheava unsettng of
society caused by the great and the upsurgng OF
formerly suppressed partially suppressed masses which
have mistaken democracy of clense and class seshness
for the true democracy of the rule of the majority and
obedience to law which is exempted in the institutions
and the spirit of the United States.
That universal unrest and its consequent dsrespect
for law and lack of consideration Of the rights Of others
or the common welfare is being manifested in this coun-
try well across the sea. 1t is the same spirit
whether take the form of great strike whose purpose
form of single man who seeks what he wants by VIC.
lence 1t is spirit which exats sef-inerest and desire
above the rights of others That spirit is not democracy
1t is not Americanm 1t is not civilization 1t is merely
the lower human impulses running without governor
Dr. Van Dyke says that selfshness, ignorance an(
violence the ancient enemies of civilization against which
it must contend and that the duty of the church not c
side with either party to controversy where these things
are to be both Sides but to side with Humanity
and Christ" This means he says that we must rec
ognze society far as possible on the foundation
justice to all and recognition by all of the rights Of
Others practical application of the golden rule to the
affairs Of man. And this MEANS he says that labor unions
and collective bargaining must be recognized but also
that the unions must recognize their responsibility to
the public and not attempt gain their ends by an
attack upon the people. Violence must be discarded 4,
means Of securing individual or group rights or adj
vantages He is optimistic enough to believe that this
new and better order of society coming in thu coun
try and if here then eventually the world oyer-.St

PIONEERS OF AVIATION


Man has recently reached the point
where h can claim to have cont
quered the air. Thus is fulfilled
dream as old as human thought. The
story ofIcarus and his wings, whose
melted way caused so disastrous a
fall, and of his modern prototype,
Darius Green, is we'll known, but real
historical personages who were pion1
GERS in the field Of aerial investiga-
ton are not so we'll known. Over in
Japan there is preserved the story of
a man named Kokichi, who in olden
times so offended the authorities of
Okayama by his attempts at aviation
that he was forced into exile. There
was an aviator of mystery in France
during the middle ages--a crazy mol
bleman who flew across the Seine in
rude sort of machine. Professor
Langley, who in 1887 made investi-
cations of aerial problems with his
"Whirling Table" Hiram Maxim who
spent 100000 in constructing huge
flying machine in 1899, and Octave
Chanute whose experiments with
elders inspired the Wright Brothers;
are three men whose names should
be remembered as fathers of moderrI
aviation. 1t is interesting to note
that with the conquest of the air all
of the great physical desires of man
have been accomplished. To wha,
field of endeavor will he now turn
his attention?

INVESTMENT AND SPECULATION.

The stock furry in New York, with the quick revival
reveals the sharp line of demarcOn between investment
and speculation Investment in American securities is
safe and desirable Speculation in them is hazardous att
all times and extra hazardous at times especially
just those times when it is the most popular and is
tying up the most money Never in the history Of this
country have the people had much surplus money.
They are wise if they invest it They are unwisc if they
use it for speculation. Buying selling stocks in Wall
street on margin is the most risky sort of speculation If
has all the clement Of gambling in its uncertainty and
dependence upon chance in spite of the socacd mental
process by which decides whether to buy or SELL In.
dustrial and transportation stocks listed in the Wall
Street Stock Exchange there because their nature
has been investigated Their market value, except when
speculation affects the price of special orgie
of speculation like that which has, hope just come
to an end sends all stocks up and then down temporarily
based upon the judgment of nancers Of experience
to the actual earning power of the stocks OF Their
prospect for paying dividends in the future The quota
ons on bonds are based also upon their earning power
and investment in them is safe if the advice of reliable
bond house is taken.
The industries of the country need the money the
people have to invest If that money is used to buy
actual stocks and bonds the investor is not only placing
his money where it will be SAFE if speculative stocks are
avoided but he is making contribution to the pros
perty Of the country by supplying needed capital for
its business This is true, also, when investment is
made in the approved securities of foreign countries es-
peciay bonds In that way export trade promoted
by reducing the settlement balance those countries will
have to pay and by providing them with capital for
the rehabilitation of their industries Wisely used the
tremendous surplus of money and credit in the hands
Of the American people will promote the production nee
essary for full employment and lower prices promote the
export trade the country needs and of
era prosperity indefinitely. Used in wild speculation it
means less solid development and the constant menace
Of financial disaster. There is safe place and work
for every dollar the American people
Ineidenty we may say that there something better
rush them to New York for the high interest rates be
had at times on call loans in aid Of speculation. The
bank that does that is giving its community square
deal the whole country square deal 1t is prof.
teerng and is breaking the spirit of the law as much
as some more direct profteers break its letter. 1t is
gratifying know that the New York banks sending
back 600 of hits speculation money to the
try banks where it is needed for local industrial and agr
cultural loans dto the crops Banks owe duty
to the community in which they do business and to the
whole country WE'LL which is at least as binding upon
them the duty to big dividends for their stock
holders.

ABOUT GRUMBLERS

hear men whimper an complain
About the world is run.
On sunny days they sigh for rain
An when it rains they want the
sun.
'If we were runnin' things" they say
"There be much less O. grief an
wrong.
"We'd keep the clouds O. care away
An life would be one round O.
song"
Yet in the homes where they abide
As lords an masters day by day,
The women folks are sorely tried,
The children are not always gay;
The grounds are often black and bare :
The roses struggling by the fence
Don't seem to show the tender care
Of notable intelligence.
Pve never found a grumbler yet
Whose dealings with his fellow
man
Were free from error or regret
Or shaped to any faultless plan.
Within his territory small
An on the round he daily makes,
Where he is lord an boss of all
/ notice that he makes mistakes.
So when I hear such men complain
About the way the Hand Divine
Orders the sunshine an rain
An regulates each tree an vine,
| look around an try to see
The kind O. work he has done
An I'm as glad as l can be
He doesn't have the world to run.
Il don't quite understand your po-
ton in this matter"
81 might explain it to you," said
Senator Sorghum, "but Pm afraid it
wouldn't do any good. You wouldn't
understand the explanation either

LIVES OUT in the country.
AND is well known.
AS A lecturer.
ON PROHIBITION.
AND A couple Of weeks ago.
HE CAME to town.
AND BOUGHT some overalls.
AND YESTERDAY afternoon.
HE PUT them on.
AND FOUND out.
THAT THEY were six sizes.
TOO LARGE for him.
BUT HE had nothing else.
THAT HE could wear.
so HE started out in them,
AND ABOUT mile from town.
HE CAME across a Ford.
STUCK IN the road.
WITH FOUR ladies in it.
AND THEY hailed him.
AND ASKED him.
TO CRANK their car for them.
AND HE got out.
IN HIS new overalls.
SIX SIZES too large for him.
AND TOOK hold of the crank.
AND SPUN it.
AND WHEN he did.
THE THING kicked on him.
AND HIS overalls.
GOT CAUGHT in the crank.
AS TT spun around.
AND THERE was a tearing sound
THAT DIDN'T come.
FROM THE engine.
AND HE looked around.
AND DISCOVERED.
TO HIS great horror.
THAT MOST of his overalls.
HAD DISAPPEARED.
AND THE ladies in the car.
WERE GETTING curious.
AND STARTED to get out.
AND HE hollered to them.
NOT TO do it,
AND THEY were surprised.
AND GETTING scared.

prosperous farmer who lives At North

yes, sir, Tanlac just knocked my
rrou 1les winding, continued Nh hig-
gins, and ii is the only medicine 1
got hold Of that did me any good at
all I had been suffering from rheu-
matism ever since I was about seven
years old, and just gradually grew
worse as I grew older, and ] finally
got 70 the point where I wasn't able
10 walk at times The joints IN my
legs would sWeu something awful.
and the misery and pain underwent
is simply more than I will ever be
able 70 tell. I didn't know what il
vas 10 get a good nights sleep. Fin
ally my stomach went back on me
and what I ate would sour ana cause
gas TO form so bad I could hardly get
my breath. I tell you I was in mighty
bad shape, and the different medl-
cines and treatments had didn't DO
me a particle Of good.
NY father told me one day that he
had read in the papers where several
people who had been suffering like I
did had been helped by taking Ianlac,
and ADVISED me TO give II Lrlal-
Wen. sir, It just beats the world the
way I have improved since 1 com
menced taking that medicine. Why
] have only taken four bottles so far,
and can walk just about as good as
ever could in my life, and my gen
eral health is better than It has been
since I was a boy. The swelling has
completely left my joints, and I am
able TO work every day in the week
I have actually done more hard work
this sumner than I ever did in my
life in the same length OF time. Ny
nerves are as steady as a clock, and
I sleep like a log every night I have
gotten rid Of that stomach trouble,
TOO, and eat three hearty meals every
day and I never suffer a particle az

Tanlac is the best medicine ] ever
