WOULD BE SOMETHING LIKE"
Wireless Telephone Nothing to Inven-
tion Some Women Hope to See
Before Many Years.

An inventor announces that he will
soon have on the market a wireless
telephone that a man can carry
around in his hat. There will be an
other telephone in his home tuned up
with the one inside of his hat, and
the result will be that the mans
wife can talk to him wherever he
may be, whether it be his. Office,
street corner, baseball game or
church.
This is a fine thing indeed, and
may really be considered a step in
advance, but it is not what the wives
of the world are looking for. The
wives of the world are looking for
something that win beat a telephone
in the hat all hollow.
We may as well confide to you the
fact that there is wild hope surging
through the hearts of women that
some day there will be invented a
contrivance by means of which they
will be enabled to see the men folks
at all times and wherever they may
be- A man can fool a woman with a
hat telephone just as easily as he can
fool her with the telephones we have
now. He can say he is attending a
meeting of church wardens when he
is really sitting in a poker game;
and how is the wife to know any
different?
But when this thing is invented by
~, L. NaIH
into something like a crystal ball
and see the man person just where
he is and exactly what he is doing,
then, dear folks. you may prepare to
see the world turn good.
The mere man will not be allowed to
use this delicate instrument
Yes. it will be a better world then,
but there won't be much fun in it

EVER FEEL THIS WAY
ABOUT 1T?

A bank wrote one of its customers
requsting money or additional col
lateral security on outstanding loans
and he wrote a characteristic letter.
II is of no concern who wrote the
letter or where the bank was loca-
ted. The interest lies wholly in the
situation described in the reply, which
is couched as follows:
For the following reasons l am IN
able to comply with your request:
81 have been held up, held down,
sand-bagged, walked on, sat on, fat
tened out and squeezed. First by the
United States Government for fedFeal

tax. merchants license and auto tax,
and by every society and organization

not possess,

fist. the G. A R., the WOman's RELIEF,

Black Cross, the Purple Cross, the
Double Cross, the Children's Home,
the Dorcas society, the Y. M. {. A, the
Y. w. c. A, the Boy Scouts, the Jew
.ish Relief and every hospital in town.
Then on top of it all come the Associ-
ated Charities.
"The Government has so governed

THE RECONSTRUCTION"

a fitting conclusion Mr.. MOndell, moor
leader of the House says: There IS
no reason why Congress should not
pass all the Appropriation bills, in
Guiding the complete program laid
down at the beginning of the session,

November, 1918. But how much are
we reconstructed? Congress has the
new non-partisan railroad Organiza-
ton law to its credit, but what else
has it done that can be pointed to
with pride? Isn't it one of the worst
failures, as a Congress, the country
has had to endure in fifty years? The
Senate's chief business for a year OF
more has been the peace treaty. and

The Republican Congress now pro-
poses to investigate the Federal Re
serve Board, which is about like inves-
tigating the Rock of Gibraltar to see
if it is solid. Not even the system that
enabled the country to finance the
greatest war of all time without fl
nancial tremor is to escape the activi-
ties of the investigating" Congress.
However, such investigation will serve
to give the Congress another preteXt
for killing time and for not doing
those things it should do.

About Rheumatism

People are learning that it is only
4 waste of time and money to take
medicine internally for chronic and
muscular rheumatism, and about nine
ty-nine out of hundred cases are
one or the other of these varieties.

relief is to apply Chamberlain Lini-

COR.lNNE GRIFFITH

1t was particularly appropriate that
Albert E. Smith, president of Vita
graph, should have selected COrinne
Griffith for the leading role of Clyde
Fitch's 1.-The Climbers" for she has
been steadily climbing ever since she
left her home in the south to become
film player. Now she has reached
the top rung of film success. In addi-
ton to her imposing personal appear
ance and histrionic talent, Miss Griffith
has the happy faculty of wearing beau
tiful and unusual gowns with grace
and has had a splendid athletic train
ing. Some of her most recent fea-
lures have been "a Girl at Bay" 1.-THE
Tower o& Jewels" Human Collateral"
and "Deadline at Eleven"

Suggestion for a Camping Trip

Buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie
and Diarrhoea Remedy before leaving
home. AS a rule it cannot be obtained
when on a hunting, fishing or pros
pecting trip. Neither can it be OBJ
tanned while on board the cars or
steamships and at such times and
places it is most likely to be needed.
The safe way is to have it with you.

TRICK MERCHANTS
WITH FAKE DEALS
FOR STORE CASES

Moline police today uncovered u
new confidence game, from which,
it is alleged, several Moline mer-
chants have been victimized within
the last several months.
The scheme is said to involve a
fake sale of a candy case or re-
frigerator counter at bargain prices
on condition that the purchaser
pays freight charges on goods said
to be held by the railroads for
payment.
Offer OF sale Of the case, accord
ing to a report of the Business
mems association, is made by one
who claims that the machine has
been rejected and is being held for
freight charges. The prospective
purchaser is asked to advance
necessary costs and, if he
acquiesces, an express order is
purchased. The receipt is then re-
turned to the buyer, the operator
keeping the order check.
Police are working on several
such cases on information supplied
by several alleged victims Of the
fake.
