LAUGHING IL GOOD
EXERCISE FOR LIVER


CHICAGO. Jan. 0,---Laugh. shin
my yonr liver. and die happy.
The old adage. "A laugh a day
keeps the doctor away" has found
many followers even among these
who must depend upon the disabled
hvers OF unsmiling persons for their
bank deposits.
Prof. A. J. Carlson. OF University
OF Chicago, declares that hearty
laugh is worth more than countless
liver pills.
The muscles OF the diaphragm
are exercised with n good. hearty
laugh and that benefits the liver"
says the professor. However. the
physical value OF laugh is not con-
fined to tho iiver--the heart and
circulatory and nervous systems are
improved. Anger and hate cause de-
preston and consequent evil infiu-
ences on tho stomach, liver and other
organs

Many poets have complained to ny
because newspapers do not pay for
poetry.
Really, we do not think that poets
should ask pay any more than some
one should ask pay for sunshine. rain,
the dew Of the morning, starlight or
the moon.
For. all that those things are to the
body. poetry Is to the soul. Poetry.
like virtue, should be Its own reward.
Moreover there Is an old maxim which
says "Poets are born, net pald."-Lcs

Plattsmouth City VI
Council Refuses to )
Pay Lighting Bill

Plattsmouth, Neb., Dec. IS
Especial aL)--Ascribing its action to
the recent decision handed down by
Judge Button at Fremont in a case
involving the raising Of public util-
ity rates by ordinance wherein the
mayor casts the deciding vote, the
claims committee of the city council
has held up payment of the current
months bill for street lighting here
to the Nebraska Gas and Electric
company, pending further action.
The council was deadlocked on
this matter few weeks ago, and
Mayor Schneider, after taking the
matter under consideration, cast the
deciding vote for the increased con-
tract at later meeting. Manager
Kuykendall was present at the
meeting last night and threatened
to close the plant here unless the
higher rates are forthcoming.
He was warned by Mayor
Schneider that now is the best time
for a showdown and that people
could burn kerosene lamps and can
dies if necessary. Despairing of OBJ
tanning favorable action in the mat
ter of consumers rates through the
council, the company recently, on
its own initiative, raised gas rates
to $2.25 and electricity rates to IS
cents a killowatt. So far it has met
with no opposition in collecting the
new schedule.

The game was thoroughly dishearten-
ing, and though the Honolulu fans were
inclined to be generous, the unusually
big crowd finally couldn't stand any
more, a large part of them had left
the grounds before the game ended.
LAST Game Fine
AS first stated the last game was
worth while, and is well told by the
sports writer of the Advertiser as fol-
lows:
Cecil J. Benny's Braves defeated
the Maui All-Stars, 2-1, yesterday af-
ternoOn on the Moiliilii Field diamond
after 10 innings of as good baseball
as any old-time fan has seen dished
up in Honolulu and Representative
Paschoal's Valley Islanders returned
last night by the Claudine to their
neiehboring island homes without hav-
ing won one Of the series of three
games played here during the invasion
Of the Mauites.
ut was a lot different baseball
Maui put up yesterday and to lose was
no disgrace, for it was anybody's game
right up to the last moment of play.
lfcltIOdI ) tOllJtSt bu what llc
visitors can do when they are right
and they were all of that in this game.
Maui played ]errorless ball from start
to finish and pulled off a number of
spectacular plays that got the crowd
daify with excitement.
THE game was, to a great extent,
4 p|itchers's battle and both twirlers
hurled great ball. Harry Sam Ku the va
liant southpaw of the Braves, had per-
haps the better of the argument holding
the opposition to three scattered hits
up TO the close of the eighth frame.
In he eighth Maui forced him to yield
two saGeties to them, this resulting in
the alley islanders only score, which
led the game at one-all.
Maui drew a hit in the 10th but
JAILED to score, while the Braves
found Bill Bal for three safe ones and
brought in the winning run of the
scrappy battle.
Given perfect support by his team
mates Big Bill Bal pitched a brand Of
ball that would win almost any old
game, although he slipped up in the
fifth and 10th frames, in each of which
the Braves would not be denied and
touched him thricely."
