DIRTY HANDS.

One of the largest newspapers In
America which is a strong advocate
Of socialism and government owner
ship OF railroads publishes an euiogy
OF the wonderful management under
temporary government operation and
then proceeds to condemn the rail-
roads for the increase in freight and
passenger rates which they are ask
ing. The article says that under
government ownership the increases
would not be necessary.
Why lie to the people about mat
ters of fact? II is common know
ledge that as soon as the roads were
taken over by the government, dur
ing war, rates were Immediately in
creased more than the roads had ey-
ar asked and the public had to pay
without kick. These increases
we're Immediately swallowed by
wage increases granted for political
purposes and when the government
turned the roads back TO private
wnership the taxpayers had been
.equired to dig up some $4,000,
700 for expenses which railroad rev
nue. under increased rates had not
-overed during the period under gov
,rnment control.
Why not tell the truth to the peo-
ole? II government operation had
'ontinued, either the taxpayers
would have had to make up annual
leficits az they did for two years. or
'ates would have had to be increased
the roads are now asking, or the
American railroad system would go
nto bankruptcy.
The newspaper which is mislead-
ing the public as 10 the facts In this
'ase has increased its subscription
rates more than 200 per cent, and ite
advertising rates in proportion
more than double total increases al
-eady granted or asked by railroads
Does such an advocate appear in
court with clean hands?

A VALENTINE.

Dear old New Englanders. good
friends of mine.
To-day am sending you this valen-
tine
From the old State OF Maine, where
snowdrifts are lying
And on the chill bFeezes the snow
flakes are flying
Where the lakes and the rivers are
all frozen fast,
And old Boreas bowls with his below
ing blast.
Now Jack Frost nips our fingers, our
ears and our noses,
While our cheeks and our chins grow
as red as your roses.
The sleighbels are jingling, the snow
balls are flying,
As children make merry, the north
winds denying.
Their daddies are clearing the snow
from the street,
The high cost of living they vain try
to beat.
Ali is high but thermometers. Never
before
Have 1 seen them so low, they can't so
much lower
From this land OF cold fingers but
warm, genial hearts,
I send you my greeting. Fond mem
ory starts
And I see in my mind all your birds
ana your roses.

Athena Hast seems absolutely sin
cere about wanting her son to marry
the housemaid. We've argued over
1t for nearly a week, with the result
that Athena triumphantly points to
Gerald himself, who has landed real
Job for the first time in his life.
Doesn't that prove he is in earn
est?" she urges. when lad is will

hunting work, gets it, then drags the
girl down to the marriage license bu-

aid Is made Of dear" said eager
ly, "but I doubt a marriage can be
happy with such social gulf between
the two parties. My idea of marriage"
l went on, els tina. there must be sim

Some Of the happiest marriages
know" reflected my friend Athean,
ARE where tastes are quite different.
I grant there must be intelligence on
both sides, and a fairly equal educa.
ton. But, after all, what's education?
Book learning isn't necessarily educa-
ton. knowledge and understanding
Of life is the education that really
counts"
But if Katie, the housemaid, says,

she amt got no sense and hadn't

rors like that, you won't excuse her
because she's nice girl and under

Katie has the great gift of silence.
She knows when to keep her mouth
shut-which is most of the time-and
that's one reason l like her. She
whole lot better! She is pretty and
neat, and I found volume of poems
and novel by Kathleen Norris in her
room the other day. She's a good
sort if she likes worthwhile books,

Athena in an argument, because she

that there's any greater discrepancy
between Katie and Gerald than be-

CONSTANT BRONCHIAL

'I suffered with bronchial trouble

Mlks Emulsion were nothing short of
marvelous"--Mrs. ]. B. Crawshaw, 1888
Grand Ave, Des Moines, Iowa.
For bronchial or other severe coughs
or hard colds. Milks Emulsion is really
remarkable. The system Is built up
and strengthened to throw off the
trouble.
Milks Emulsion is a pleasant nutri-
tive food and a corrective medicine: 1t
restores healthy, natural bowel action.
doing away with all need of pills and
physics. 1t promotes appetite and
quickly puts the digestive organs in
of flesh and strength. Milks Emulsion
is strongly recommended to those whom
sickness has weakened. and is a pow
erful aid in resisting and repairing the
effects of wasting diseases. Chronic
stomach trouble and constipation are
promptly relieved-usually in one day.
This is the only solid emulsion made
and SO palatable that it is eaten with
a spoon like ice cream.
No matter how severe your case, you
are urged to try Milks Emulsion under
this guarantee-Take six bottles home
with you, use it according to direc-
tions and if not satisfied with the re-
suits your money will be promptly re-
funded. Price soc and $40 per bottle.
