| either failed or failed to succeed;
and this when conditions were
stable. More than six chances tC
one against success, in Legitimate
enterprises.
Suppose one invests in oil leases
or stocks in New Mexico, an UNI
proven territory? Buys railroad OF
mining stocks, or invests in a new
corporation-with prospects? In
vests all his capital and perhaps
credit to launch a new business en-
terprise? Buys margins, etc, ad in
! finitum?
We garb these activities in such
terms as business, investment, spec
ulation; blanketing them all with
the term Legitimate enterprises;
but WHAT and WHERE is the line
of demarkation between them and
gambling" and how may it be
recognized?
Rockefeller is now quoted as an
exponent of the Golden Rule; but
if Tarbell's History of the Standard
Oil is to be credited he attained his
present eminence, thereby qualify
ing himself, as the moral authority
to which he has attained, by meth
DDS with which the Golden Rule
could scarcely have a speaking ac-
quaintance, Notwithstanding spe-
cia sessions of a state legislature
which passed laws especially de-
signed to curb him and his meth
DDS, he, like the bedbug, "got there
just the same" obliterated compe-
titiOn, and thereby holds a monop-
oily, or controls, production and
price of a basic industry, one of
natures greatest gifts to man; and
incidentally he has amassed the
worlds greatest fortune.
Is the history OF his operations
and gigantic success "a menace to
the morals of youth" or is it a
glowing example of financial sue
cess? Did he gamble and win and
did those whom he is reputed 70
have ruined and driven to suicide
gamble and lose? Did he, after
reaching a certain point play sure
thing? If so does he therefore be-
long in a class with the manlpula-
tirs of loaded dice, "Cold deckerS'
and the gentry who demonstrate
with cards and other means that
the hand is quicker than the
eye?"
If a few friends find pleasure
and diversion in an hour of two
bit limit" without any expectation
of substantial gain or loss, do they
thereby become unapprehended Jail
birds and technical criminals?
Should such be the case merely BY
the invention of a new crime? Is it.
desirable to foster the spirit of boil
shevism by restricting personal lib
critics to the nth degree? Is it pre-
sumed that it will go on like the
cost of labor, cost of production,

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

eggs, only much smaller, of course.
On his way back to the hollow
stump bungalow, Uncle Wiggily
heard a queer little song being
sung by some one in a tree near
the path. The bunny gentleman
looked and saw some fluttering
wings and a curious little creature
perched on branch.
"Oh. what a funny bug" said,
Mr.. Longears, feeling in his pocket
to see if the pills were safe.

ANSWERED LETTERS.

Mrs. X. N.-"My cousin who
lives at quite a distance from me,
writes she has had poor success
! tude is higher than mine; do you
suppose this makes a difference in
results"
= Answer.-Altitude makes de-
cided difference. For altitude
above 1000 feet, the time of ster-
ilization should be increased at the
rate of~10 per cent for each 500
feet--that is, increased above the
time given in my Time Tables re-
Gently. Tell your cousin to write
for Farmers Bulletin 500, United
States department of agriculture,

free. and which explains this ques-
ton of the altitude changes on
page II, | have no doubt that her
poor success with cold pack cam
ming is due to her not sterizing
the jars a sufficient length OF time
for her high altitude.

Answer.-You neglected to saw
whom the cake was for-whether

Angel cake should be served to very
small children with iced cocoa and

A Case In Point.

Editor Morning Journal:
Your editorial regarding the An

at the hummingbird's nest. t

tiny eggs when Uncle Wiggily sud-

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Troubles
You

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says a well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which excites the kid
neys, they become overworked from
the strain, get sluggish and fail to
filter the waste and poisons from the
blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness
and urinary disorders come from
sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by sensation of scalding,
stop eating meat and get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any pharm-
acy; take tablespoonful in glass
of water before breakfast and in
few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimuli
ate the kidneys, also to neutralize the
acids in urine SO it no longer causes
thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
cent lithia-water drink which every
one should take now and then to keep
the kidneys clean and active and the
blood pure, thereby avoiding serious
kidney complications.

COMB SAGE TEA
INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores Its
Natural Color and Lustre
at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lux
uriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, Is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
the ready-to-use preparation improv-
ed by the addition of other ingredi-
ents large bottle, at little cost, at
drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" thus avoid
ing a lot of muss
While gray, faded hair is not sinful
we all desire to retain our youthful
appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening your hair with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one
can tell because it does it so natural
ly, so evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time; by morning
all grey hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
Younger.

the divorced husband of Miss Kraus
and Miss ELY Hope Anderson, a
singer whose home is in Minneapolis
All who were present agreed after
ward that there was no show of i'll
feeling between Elwell and Won Sch

on the dance floor, several times with
Won Schlegells former wife dancing
with the sportsman.
After leaving the hotel the Lewiston
party, including Elwell, went to roof

until 1870 when all left and ElwelI
was seen to start on foot toward his

had seen Elwell and woman in an
upper Broadway dance hall at a much
later hour. A neighbOr claimed to
have seen Elwell driven home by a
man in a racing car at 2:30. tax
icab driver asserted he had driven
the sportsman home directly after he
left the Lewisohn party.
More important evidence seemed to
lie in the statements of Margaret En-
tier, telephone operator, who de-
clares she tried to put through two
telephone calls from Elwell's home
between two and three o'clock
on the morning of the tragedy. The
number called in each case was that
of William H. Pend1eton, a former rae
ing partner of Elwell's. When in
terrogated he said he could not i'm
agine why Elwell should have been SO
anxious to communicate with him dur

had not been intimate in many months,
