long story about 1t. If he had that chance it would make a great differ- ence. The ordinary citizen will under go anything. if he can sit around and talk about it afterward.

 "Tll never forget the first time I went to see the dentist on professional business. I had been entertaining a rip-snorting toothache for several days. The agony was so great that it would take the pen of Dante to do justice to It. Yet I couldn't muster up enough courage to go to the dentists. I had heard so many stories of the atrocious suffering one undergoes at his hands that my warlike spirit faltered. But finally the man who occupied the room next 10 mine came to my apartment, armed with a large iron poker, and said that I had kept him awake for three nights, and the limit had been reached. If didn't chase myself out of the house and let him have nights rest he would proceed to make a few dents in my skull.
 Thus turned adrift into the tenn pest, the first man I met was a dentist, and he simply forced me to his parlor. He was a friend of the family and wouldn't take no for an answer.
 He had to carry me up the stairway to his office. had become so weak in the legs. I supposed he would rend me limb from limb, but he really was a painless dentist. In three or, perhaps, four shakes he was holding before my eyes the tooth which had caused all the anguish, and I was enjoying solid comfort once more.
 "Since that experience I look upon the modern dentist as a public bene- factor, and my one regret is that I can't drop into his office every day or two and have a.few teeth pulled. But all my original teeth were extracted by the painless process long ago, and the lignum vitae teeth I am now wearing are strangers to aches and pains.
 ''The first time a man is married he is so excited that he forgets the wed- ding ring or the fee for the preacher, or some other essential. For days be- fore the event he is in such a fever that his friends have trouble holding him down; and when at last the fateful hour arrives he doesn't seem like re- sponsible human being. I always feel sorry for young bridegroom, he looks so rattled, and he has such a strong resemblance to a total loss.
 But the next time he gets married he is as cool and intrepid as though he made practice of acquiring bride before tea every day, and if he goes to the altar three or four times in the course of his useful career. marriage seems to him no more interesting than receiving an automobile catalogue by mail.
 And this is true of everything, Mrs. Jiggers. A man even gets used to a family boarding house, where collec- tions are made strictly in advance, and. this being admitted, no further argument is necessary"

FATNEss AND THlNNEss.

There is proverb to the effect that
"One mans meat is another man 5
poison" This might be applied to the
case Of fat women and thin women
because the food that makes one wo-
man fat Will keep another woman thin.
AS any physician will tell you, it isn't
what you eat, but what you digest that
makes you fat or thin.
l am not saying this by way of en-.
couraging any of my stout friends into
remarking that they hardly eat thing
but that they just go on getting fat
anyway. The overweight woman is
perfectly safe in assuming that she
gets all the fat out of her food and that
therefore, her solution in avoiding
more fat is to eat less food
But the problem of the thin woman
is quite different. She can't always
eat more food. If she does she won't
digest it. Sometimes it happens that
women who are i'll and under-Weight

WON'T REVIEW HAYWOOD CASE

the conviction of VIM. D. Haywood
and more than seventy-nine other
members of the l. W. w. on charges
of having conspired to obstruct the
war activities of the government.
Refusal of the supreme court to in
terfere closes the long fight to save
Haywood and his associates from
prison. Only a presidential pardon
can now prevent their entering upon
the sentences imposed.
Petition for review was based on the
contention that the federal agents in
conducting raids on the homes and Of
fees of officials of the I. W. w. on
September 5. 1917. acted without
search warrants and tina: the evidence
thus obtained was Illegal under re-

Members of congress publicly scored
Judge Lands when the case was. first
called several months ago when he
blamed officials of the bank for the
crime because Carey, who is 10. was
forced to support his mother on $50 a
month salary. -
Carey appeared in court with his
mother and attorney. The clerk mere7

Judge Lands said:
You are sentenced to one year in

I The judge made no other comment.
The fact that Carey was to be sem
fenced was not known until the boy
and mother appeared in court. The
mother wept as sentence was being
passed. -
Tho Carey case attracted nation
wide attention. When he was con-
victed, Judge Lands announced that
he could not sentence the youth until
he had an opportunity to think over
the fact that the boys salary was only
$50 a month.
Lands held that the bank officials
were partly responsible.
+ The judge at the time told Carey to
go home and he would be called in
when he decided to sentence him.
