because the State has spent q
quarter Of a million for rsdium.
One gram Of the mysterious sub
stance which sends out its particles
At speed thousands of times great
er than the speed of a cannon ball
Is now at work fighting cancer in
New York.
That tiny particle of radipm
seems expensive, but it cost less
than one first-class cannon. It
will destroy billions of deadly
enemies, cancer cells, and 1t sup
plies its own ammunition. Once
you have it, it does its own work
indefinitely.
The world would be better off
today if it had been content for
the last six years to fight cancer,
malaria, yellow fever, the various
plaques, and poverty.
Have you any friend boaatfully
pointing out American success in
the yacht race and remarking on
the superiority Of the great and
glorious native-born American?
The victorious crew Of the
American yacht Resolute was
manned BY the following; Twenty.
two Norwegians, seven Swedes.
and one Dane. That was the whole
crew. Tell that also to people who
say we ought to stop immigration
and keep out undesirable foreign
ers."
The Harding crowd announced
that a twelve-word slogan is to
be used all through the campaign.
Now Mr.. White; manager for
Candidate Cox. says he has
three-word slogan, very secret as
yet, that will beat any other.
Write out the kind of twelve
word and three-word slogan you
would write for your candidate. 1t
Is good practice.
An acceptable three-word slogan
for Mr.. Cox would be mo Foreign
Entanglements," but that probably
isn't the one selected.
Senator Harding's management
says that his twelve-word slogan
will be advertised on billboards
all over the country. Poor adver-
tising. Better use small country
newspapers. such as Harding and
Cox own, and especially small
weekly newspapers. They cost
less than billboards, and are worth
thousand times more-the people
believe them.
A British clergyman, worse than
feeble copy Of Dante, has revela-
tions concerning hell and tells all
about it.
First. he says, the Lord rules
in hell as in heaven.
Then, repeating what "the spirits
have told him, he describes little
children in hell amusing them
selves by skinning lamb alive
and enjoying its agony.
fit were true that Omnipotence,
with power to prevent it, allowed
small children to skin lambs alive
in a region controlled by Omnipo-
tence, how would you express in
respectful terms what ought to be
done to that particular kind of
Omnipotence?
Do you want, for holy or char
table purposes, money in large
sums? Be polite to those that have
such money.
The Interchurch World Move
ment wanted to save souls. hun
dreds of millions.
1t also wanted to know about
the big steel strike that collapsed
when the men were beaten.
Innocent and pure, the Inter-
church World Movement made one
fatal mistake. 1t began collecting
information about the steel strike
and collecting money at the same
time. 1t published the fact that
the strikers were in the right,
that half Of them now work twelve
hours day, and seven days a
week, and that they were dis
honestly accused Of Bolshevism.
The Interchurch World Move
ment money collection collapsed
Just as the steel strike had col
lapsed.
IL you want money for churches,
go slowly in telling the truth about
those that have the money to give
you.
Too many strange crimes lately,
too many bodies found in trunks,
too many husbands shooting wives,
too many disappointed ladies
shooting other women's husbands.
Major Dalrymple, representing
prohibition in the Western States,
says: "This is due to the kind of
whiskey that criminally inclined
persons drink. 1t drives them
crazy"
