GETTING THEM QUICK

Wheeling was in the national lime
light yesterday through the arrival and
quick capture here of man and woman
suspected Of bloody murder in Phtia-
delphia- This capture adds considerably
to the laurels of the local police depart

very classy successes.
In recent years, in fact. there has
been no crime Of any prominence COM
mitted in this city which has not been
solved promptly. In some Of these. cir
cumstances no doubt helped, but in most
cases hard and clever detective work

A WISE COURSE

Very sensibly. the assembly Of the
league Of nations has decided not to
make any changes in the covenant at
the present session. With one OF the
five original trainers still out and with
many major questions in an uncertain
state. amendments at the present time
would be premature and probably short
lived
In fact. 1t In not tnconceivable that
the entire covenant will be radically
changed as a condition Of the entrance
Of the United States Our senate reser-
vations. as they now stand, make al
teratons that may inspire similar or
other ones by other league members.
The most that the league can do, pend

to keep its organization together and
discuss interesting questions.

Thanksgiving Time
By STRICKLAND GILLIAN

When Drumming barns reward the work-hledyear
When fuel-pies and bins bring indoor cheer,
When life and health have chung to those We love.
The normal human heart will look above
And thank blessed Source for what He sends
In basket, store and intercourse with friends.
When through another year our nations soul
Has trimphed though the war waves madly roll;
When in our lives still live the patriot fires
To fan the which each loyal heart aspires;
When We all unashamed face the world
And Stars and Stripes unblemished are unfurled-
Then and then always shall we deem it meet
To send aoft a prayer incense sweet
For grateful hearts feel and tongues to
Feelings and words that fit Thanksgiving Day.

"The good die young" for good cannot grow old

of Edmund Yates. The resemblance
between these two was so striking that
Yates photographs were sold In Brus-

visited that city. However, he never
suffered through the possession of
double as another monarch did, If we
may credit theory of Andrew Lang's
According to that ingenious historian,

doubles. The second husband of Mary
Queen of Scots was not, as is generally
supposed, blown up III the explosion of
Kirk o. Field, but escaped into Eng
land. He then somehow got Elizabeth
at his mercy and ultimately secured
her throne, posing as the queen to the
end of his days. Thanks TO the amaz-

Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging frora reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with

has been very successful in overcoming

influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is

its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
