JUST FOLKS
by EDGAR A. GUEST.
AMERICANS.

I've been round the land a bit,
I've travelled the rails afar,
And this I've learned as the bends I've
turned
Men are men wherever they are.
There's the self same warmth to the west
ern grip
As there is to the eastern shake,
And the welcome true which they give TO
you
Resembles the home-f folks make.
I've found them loving the Stars and
Stripes
Wherever I've had to roam,
And standing fast to her splendid past
The way that we do at home
oh, whether by mountain or whether by
sea,
The tropic or temperate zone.
The kids I'd meet. on the far-off street
Were very much like our own
I've heard men telling the things they
thought
And talking life-s problems Ger
And I'm ready to swear that they spoke
out there
Like men 1 had heard before.
On the map we are bordered apart by
States,
On the flag every states a star,
But from coast to coast when 1t counts the
most.
Americans, all we are,

1t is pointed out in a bulletin issued
by the National Bank of Commerce
that there is a growing recognition of
the necessity for lowered freight rates
on heavy tonnage items. But it holds
that this can only be effected when
there have been corresponding reduce
tions in the wage scale both of rail-
road employees and of labor in the
basic industries. This matter of re-
ductions in costs appears to have set
tied down to an Alphonse and CASTOR
performance with the railroads and
their employees in the title roles. The
railroads decline to reduce rates until
wages come down; the employees re-
fuse to accept a wage cut until rates
drop, and the public continues to be
the goat.

The season of weddings Is upon US,
and thousands of girls turnout the
country are engaged in woman's most
thrilling indoor sport, which is plan
ming their weddings and buying their
trouSseaux.
In innumerable homes the floors are
knee-deep in filmy flutter, lingerie,
and mother is growing haggard trying
to decide whom to invite to the church
and whom to the house, and father is
lying awake at night trying to figure
out how he is ever going to pay the
bills; and hosts of helpless friends and
acquaintance are groaning aloud in
their misery and saying: mabel
Smiths wedding cards came today,
and we've got to send her present,
and there goes my new hat. And l
needed it so badly!"
And everybody except the bride
elect hates the whole miserable BUSH
ness, and thinks that it is no wonder
that marriage is SO often a failure
when it is entered into with such an
amount of tom-foolery.
Now getting married Is a lot more
solemn and serious a thing than dying
is, and why people send out invita-
lions to their friends and acquaint-
ances to come and see them married,
any more than they ask them to come
and watch them die, nobody knows.
1t would seem that any decent soul
would wish to be as much alone as
possible at its most crucial and terrible
moment.
Few women feel this way about it,
however Most of them desire all the
fuss and feathers, and noise. and hull
labalOo they can get, and to embark
upon the holy estate with a grand
splurge.
From the time a girl baby begins to
think, she commences to plan her we'd

she has decided on whether she will
have a church wedding with flower
girl and a ring-bearer, or be married
under a floral arch in the back parlor
at home. -
Therefore it is .wrecking the dreams
of her life when you ask her to cut
out all of the doo-dabs. and, when She
finds the man to whom she gives her
heart for keeps, just to step around to
the parson with him, there have the
knot tied with neatness and dispatch
and without any of the work. and
worry, and nervous prostration. and
debt, and graft that accompanies the
usual marriage.
Nevertheless, do appeal to girls il
behalf of humanity for sane and SEN
sible wedding, and not to sacrifice

and everybody they know to the graft

l appeal to them to cut out the

The Hiccup Plague.

1t is ali very bewildering. even to
the doctor, and now comes the hiccup
epidemic to complicate matters. Are
hiccups a part of the restless aspect
of sleeping sickness, or are they a
manifestation of some new and indie
pendent germ, working on its own err
ratio course? No one knows. We
do know that cases of sustained hic-
cups have suddenly sprung up both
in Europe and in this country, and
that sometimes they accur alone and
unaccompanied by any other disease.
"Pathologically. this prevalence of
hiccups seems to be associated with
irritation OF the phrenic nerve from
gastro-intestinal disturbance; from
neuroses. or from remote disturbances
of the central nervous system not yet
determined" says one authority, writ
ing for a medical journal.
TN pneumonia or typhoid fever, hic-
cups, perhaps due primarily to the ef-
feet of bacterial toxins, may be a seri-
Gus complicating factor, even causing
death.
I'm the epidemic thru which we are
now passing, many cases have oc-
