ZIG BUSINESS AND SOLDIERS.

Big Business. II seems. is op-
posed to the granting OF bonus TO
our eX-soldiers-the men who made
Il possible for Big Business TO remain
Big Business and TO become even
bigger,
But not all OF our Big Business
men are opposed to the bonus, A
few appear TO retain a spark OF
gratitude In their composition,
Big business cleaned up noun
tains OF profits in fat wa contracts
while our soldiers sacrificed their
comfortable salaries in order TO do
the fighting,
To put Il clearly on a financial
basis-to be perfectly and illuminat-
ingly blunt-the soldier went to
war and lost money because he went.
The Big Business man stayed at
home and made money-much
money,
The soldier is financially the loser
from the war. Big Business is the
gainer-tremendous the gamer,
Yet Big Business is opposed to a
simple act OF justice toward the men
who risked their all for their eoun-
try-while Big Business risked moth
ing and became bigger.
But II the soldiers bonus is de
feated through the secret Influence
OF Big Business. there still remains
one possible means OF justice. When
the next war breaks out let the gov
ernment draft the men in control OF
Big Business into the army and send
them away to do the fighting, while
others remain at home and get rich
A man who is physically capable
of conducting Big Business today
would make an ideal buck private.
His qualifications could be utilized
to excellent advantage in the
trenches,
His perseverance and tenacity
might even win him leather medal,
And We are sure We would not op-
pose granting him a small bonus on
his return.

j believe that progress depends
more upon the safeguarding of the
rights of heresy than upon the pro-
lection of orthodoxy, says a writer
in the Century. Every forward, step
in history had, in the very nature
eff the case, to begin with an attack
upon the then existing order. Had eff

status quo existed from the dawn of
human history, instead of our today
living amidst surroundings of cul-
ture and safety. We should probably
be chasing one another with clubs
through the forest and drinking blood
from the scraped skulls OF our vic
tins, while the head of some primitive
Patrick Henry afforded a delectable
dish for some embryo censor. All this
is the most frayed and weathered plat
itude. but unless we base our con-
ceptiOn of liberty and our policies of
freedom upon it. we are doomed either
to political and social stagnation. on
the one hand. Or to riotous revolution

CLEANING a Clock.

A clock frequently stops because
dust has clogged its bearings. When
this is the case it may be cleaned by
the following simple method which
has been recommended: Soak piece
Of cotton Wool in kerosene and place
this In small saucer, a canister lid
or anything similar. Then put this in
the case of the clock under the works.
Close up, and at the end of "a hours
examine the cotton wool. 1t will be
found to be covered with black specks:
these are the dust particles brought
down by the fumes of the kerosene
Wind the clock up. and II will prob
ably run again. IF the works of the
clock are in an inclOsed case q few
drops of kerosene should he poured
through the small hole which is pres
ent In the metal covering. Turn the
clock about a while so that the kero-
sene Is distributed and after an inter-
val it IS extremely likely that the
works will commence their normal OPP
eratiOns again.

SATINS FOR FALL
Shimrlering Material Promises to
Replace Popular Taffeta.
Designers Have Changed Favor in
Fabs,c-Quantities of Ribbon
Now Being Used.

In preparing their models for au-
tumn designers have turned to satin.
In fashions we are constantly witness
ing the rise and fall of favorites. The
reign of taffeta was a comparatively
long one for any fabric. Now 1t must
relinquish its place in the spotlight to
soft. shimmering satin. Taffeta really
ran too swift a pace. If so much of it
had not been used we might have had
it with us for q still longer time. Even
its practicability could not save it.
Very few taffetas are shown for early
autumn
Quantities of ribbon. especially
moires, are used on the satin dresses.
Dressmakers appear TO have suddenly
turned their attention to mHtre ribbon
as trimming. In most of these satin
frocSs the Egyptian influence seen in
spring is apparent. Now it is modified,
taking the form of loose hanging pan
els and ribbon sashes placed about
the hips in perfectly straight lines; the
sash is not crumpIed at all.
Belts consisting of two lengths Of
MORE ribbon finely plated and joined
to either side OF narrow ribbon belt
frequently are placed about the waist
line, as such belt would be too bulky
to tie about the hips. The preference,
however, is for the hip swathing CIR
die. Many of the black satin dresses
have girdles of the material lined with
white.
Brocaded' crepe de chimes are much
in evidence. Crepe de chine, which
was so popular in Paris earlier in the
season. is only now being taken up TO
any great extent by American women.
There are some perfectly charming
crepe de chine dresses, dark brown in
color, with large floral patterns brocad-
ed in a shade even darker than the
background itself. These are made
with low waistiine bodices crumpling
about the figure and hanging very loose
ly, almost in blouse form. and plain

Dreaming of Lions.

To dream Of seeing q lion p0rtends
q speedy audience with some impor-
tant person which will prove very for
tunate for the dreamer. To see your
lion chained means some enemy of
yours will come TO deserved grief
To dream of mounting a lions back
fOretells the favor of some influential
person. To be frightened by a lion
In your dream means danger from
some powerful source that will have
no disastrous effects for you. To fight
with a lion fOretels dangerous
quarrel; to vanquish him happy
termination. To see a lioness, and her
cubs indicates happiness for your
home circle.-ChicagO Herald and Ex-

THINGS TO REMEMBER

(By United States Public Health Scrvice)
Careless splitting spreads ting disease.
Sick persons should burn the ir spit.
Fresh air is as necessary to health
as pure and nourishing food.
People should not sleep in over
crowded rooms, nor with closed win
doWs.
Homes and workshops must he clean
and thoroughly ventilated Dirt and
impure air are the allies of tubercu-
lOSis.
Always cover your mouth and nose
with d handkerchief when you cough
or snetZe and insist on others doing
the same.
J Though no one should ever sleep
with a consumptive, a careful con
suInptive is not dangerous to those
with whom he lives and works
Persons with colds or coughs of
long standing or persons who are los
ing in weight or strength should con-
suit a doctor or go TO dispenSary or
clinic. 1t is dangerous to wait
The large majority of people proba-
bly, have had tuberculosis in their sys-
TEN, but they do not become sick with
it because they take good care of their
general health and strength.

OF SAME ORIGIN AS COAL
stance Long Used for Various
Ornaments.

Jet is a sort of Ignite or anthracite.
often cut and polished. which has the
pecularities in weight and texture of
the hardest kind of anthracite. 1t has
been used in Britain since before his
tOric times. and was common in the
bronze age. from which times have
come JET beads, buttons, rings, armlets
and other ornaments.
julius Caesar alludes to the abund-
ance of jet in Britain. and jet Orna-
ments are found with Roman relics
in them. The monks used jet for ros-
airy beads at Whitby Abbey, and at
Whitney, where it was found in the
greatest abundance 1t occurs in ir-
regular masses in hard Shale known as
JET rock.
Often microscopic examination dis
closes coniferous wood in the cOmpo-
sition of jet. 1t is probable that jet
was developed when masses of wood
drifted down river rotted or became
water logged and sank out at sea. be-
coming gradually buried in deposit
of fine mud which hardened eventually
into shale. Sometimes drops of BIZ
tumin are found in jet cavities. which
seems to confirm the suspicion of its
wood origin.-Detroit News.
