Take Courage"

Nov and again reads Of bird. or animals killing
themselves. All such tales denied by the distinguished
yxunch naturalist, J. Henri Fabre
No animal commits suicide he says because living
thing less than knows the meaning Of DEATH So far
any animal understands its life is eternal 1t does not
yealize that its existence be terminated Man alone
realizes that death is the final curtain TO the pageant Of
earthly life
The attitude of civilized toward suicide has not
changed greatly in all the centuries since Confucus phil
ooopher Of China, in 800 B. G.
It Is recorded that the sage met about to hang
himself to . tree and addressed him in this fashion:
However great your misfortune the greatest Of all
vd be TO yield to despair That misfortune il the only
which is ireparable.
The truth which has been proved ndsputable by the
experience Of centuries is this So long has life
thsre Is no need for him to despair!
He from the greatest misery to the greatest
JOY, from the worst misfortune to the highest felicity
Take courage. As tho you this very day beginning
to recognize the value of life strive at every moment
mako the most Of it."

Intolerance, when the doctor uses the

Theologically intolerance means hostility

Medically speaking. intolerance signifies the

noticeably SO in cases Of epilepsy and the
various neuroses. II is a matter Of frequent
observation for patients thus treated TO de-
velop more or less intolerance TO these
drugs. which manifests itself in certain phe-
nomcna known as bromism. They consist
chiefly in the production OF various Gu
tancous LESSONS. especially Of the type Of
acne and erythema, which in some patients
may give rise TO considerable Disagreement
Of the face from pustule formation and
pitting. In other instances, bromism re-
veals itself by disorders Of the central ner-
vous system, which may even develop to
such an extent that the patient cannot fol-

is q forcgone conclusion that Senator Miles Pondcxter
Win be ndorsed by the Beingham state convention ior
preeident And il is also foegone conclusion that TINS
Endorsement will go farther that Poindexter viii cut
much ice in the Chicago convention as the proverpa
SNOWFALL
Therefore the II delegates from this state unless they
~ instructed by the Bengham convention to vote for
denite candidate for second choice will be practically an
Umdnstructed delegation. .
Should the Washington delegation be unnstruetedl
might Just well be, since the rank and file OF the
xupuban voters Of this state denied free and ful
xpresson of presidential nomination choice which voters
a other states enjoy by direct primary system
Il is safe to say that the voters In presidential pr
nary would not ndorse the candidate that the Bel
nnrham convention WILL that the voters would neither
tive Pondexter first choice vote reactonay second
choice.
II is safe to say that whereas Senator Hiram johnson
md Herbert Hoover will be left in the cold at Belngham
they would be the real contenders in q direct primary.
So let the Bellingham convention do what 1t Will and
tAe people will what they will and VIII vote what
they will vote in November.
