Dear DIR. Coll:
Within ten days after you started to
treat my son, Daniel and having seen
wonderful results accomplished In his

Ily improved. however, within two
months all pains in my body and stiff

instead Of being down-hearted I am
free from care and worry. During the
years that I was a sufferer
from rheumatism my sleep was
broken n my nights were restless.
1t will give me pleasure to recommend
your treatment to IN one.
Gratefully yours,

Some False Economy
 Shown at Washington

6T7HE silliest thing done in Washing
 ll ton in sometime was the elimi- nation from the sundry civil bill of the appropriation of $10,000,O00 for continuing the work on Wilson dam. By all means this matter should be taken to the floor of the House and fought out in the name of the farm CTS of the country. It would be far better to give the farmers permanent relief by producing here at home what will serve them every year than to pass temporary makeshift legislation as insincere as it is reckless.
 The most inexcusable of all things is the abandonment of huge enter prise well on the way to completion. Were the Muscle Shoals development all on paper, there might be room for debate. Since the government has gone this far and the project has the indorsement of the best minds in the nation, there is no excuse in stopping now and allowing rust and inaction to destroy what has been done.
 The project is to be eventually con- pleted. Of that there is not the pos sibility of doubt. The agricultural in terests of the country demand it. De- lay is all that can be accomplished. That will cost more millions, if suf- ficiently prolonged, than the money required to complete the work while it is in its present state.
 Congressman Almon has estimated the cost of suspension and removal of work at Muscle Shoals at S11 100000. The appropriation asked for it only $10,o 0,oOO,00O. Stoppage means loss, an appropriation to go ahead is economy. That is the choice for Congress to make.

During all the years Caruso has been a celebrity no one has arisen to dim his prestige. He has stood alone on the heights of song without rival, and if he should die there would be no one to. take his place.
 Granting that fame, popularity and riches have been showered on Caruso to an astonishing degree, no one ques- tions either his superiority as an artist or the fact that success has left him unspoiled. He has never made his managers and his associates miserable by displays of the artistic tempera- ment" and he has always done his best. Uf what other grand opera star can that be said? Amiable, light-hearted and generous, Caruso has friends ev- anywhere he has sung, and phono- graph records have made him the idol of millions of people who never saw him on the stage.
 On one occasion in Atlanta, the ir- repressible Fuzzy" Woodruff who is known in most of the newspaper off, fees of the country, and Caruso met at some function where the tenor was being mobbed as usual by his admir- CTS. Catching sight of the newspaper man, who is noted for his carelessness in dress, Caruso beamed, waved his hand and shouted, Hello, Fuzzee" Hello, Enrico!" replied the noncha- lant MT. Woodruff. That little incl dent is an index to Caruso's character and helps to explain why his personal Popularity is so great.

Serious Breach of Decorum
 by a United States Senate,

@ ENATOR HENRY F. ASH URST, 8 who invaded the White House 10 interview President Wilson regard ing some legislation in which he was interested, let his impatience get the better of his discretion. To put it mildly, he was guilty of discourtesy toward the invalid executive and the members of his household which was anything but becoming in member of the United States Senate.
 According to the published reports, Senator Ashurst wished to know what action Mr. Wilson would take on the mining bill. He called at the White House offices, where he shattered no precedents and violated no sanetities by his visit. Secretary Humility, it seems, was out at lunch. Lesser off cials could give the senator no satis- faction, so he walked to the resi- dential part of the White House, and was quoted as saying that "as an American citizen and United States senator" he proposed to get the infor- nation he sought An attendant let him into the White House and sum- moned Mrs. Wilson, but the fiery Arizonian did not see the President.
 The senator has probably cooled off by this time and realizes that he made mistake. His course of con- duct was such that the humblest pri- vate citizen in the land would have resented it,

" TT 1T Structural Activity Seems Near at Hand

N TIER months of operation at 25
 AA per cent of their capacity, the
 face brick plants of the Birmingham
 district are preparing for resumption
 of full-time operations. This is justi-
 fled not only by a stronger inquiry
 for brick, but by actual orders. Lumbermen report much more substantial demand than has marked the trade in sometime. The cement mills have orders sufficient to main- tain full production. Roofing and
 sand and other building materials are down from 25 to 40 per cent under former levels. Labor is more eff cient.
 The iron trade is featured by or- ders releasing the pig iron that has been held up. This is the next thing to new business, because it indicates that foundries are ready to go ahead, use up the iron already ordered and prepare for the output that must fol- low the released metal.
 Normal business conditions have about returned. Every interest has
 trimmed its sails. Every man has
 done his part and seems to feel that
 the other fellow has done his. The
 first result of this attitude will
 probably be revival of building on
 a large scale.

* * * Short-Sighted Policy of North Carolina Workmen

TNHE profit-sharing plan tried in the
 J plant of the Newborn Iron Works, at Newborn, N. C., soon came to grief. As an experiment. in social ism, it proved quite conclusively that the officials were right and the em- ployes were wrong when they claimed that the profits of the con-ern justi- fled wage scale 20 per cent higher than the company said it could afford to pay and continue operating.
 At the end of one week the work men discovered that the experiment was failure Their share of the profits, after operating expenses had been deducted, was less than they had received when the first wage cut of 10 per cent was proposed by the management.
 Instead of trying to make the best of the situation and showing a spirit of cooperation, the workers struck. At a time like this when the whole country is undergoing a period of re- adjustment, when more than million people are estimated to be idle and workers are being discharged by the thousands nearly every day, any man who has a job may consider himself lucky to remain on the pay roll, even were when the country was enjoying unprecedented prosperity. The New bern Iron Works employees are show ing poor judgment.

 Who saw life steadily and saw it whole Wisdom for them consisted in recogniz- ing the existence of problem which it was beyond human faculty to compre- bend and in keeping within the limits of what they could grasp. Homer and Dante and Shakespeare stars of the first magnitude, and scores of lesser lit- erary luminaries, each have their light to shed on the checkered ways of human experience, whether it takes shape in eplc or tragedy or comedy or sinks into mere melodrama or farce. Does this mean to try to solve the knotty problems of existence by simpiy ignoring them or leaving them to little groups of professional students, so that a modern philosopher could say that, like Plato, he had spent the whole of a long life teaching philosophy to a few boys
