 Fortunate was the United States in the fact that this proposal of President Wilson was rejected, and that the election result of 1920 gave assurance that never again will the Am erican people be asked to undertake such de- parture from the traditions of this republic.

Whoever thought of Robinson Crusoc as d successful advertiser? Yet he was as history proves He knew what he wantcd-a ship and he put up an ad for one. He flung a shirt on a pole at the top of his island; that, in the language of the sea, was plain to every sea faring man.
 The circulation was snaII-thcrc was no other mcdiun-but CrnSoc kept at it, despite the fact that he got no inquiries for long time. He changed his copy-as one garment after another was frayod out-and in the end got what he wanted
 But had he taken down that signal after time and declared "advcrtsing doesn't pay" where would Crousoc and his story be today?

PLANTS GUARDED BY NATURE
As Tnfaots," the Sapings Are by No
Means Oefenseless Against In
jury From Fire.

Young long-Ieat plants protect them
selves against forest fires in a most
interesting and remarkable way For
four or five years the stems of the
infant frees attain a height Of only
as many inches above the soil Dur
Ing this time their bark is eXtraordi-
narily thick. and that alone gives some
projections But in addition the long
needles spring up above the stem and
then bend over ON all sides in a green
cascade which fans to the ground in
circle about the seeding.
This green barrier can, with diff
Guilty, be made to burn, while the
shade that it casts prevents inilamma-
bic grass from growing near the pro-
tected stem.
1t is thought that it is owing to
this peculiar system of self-protec-
ton which the pine seedlings have
developed that the growth of the ever
green oaks in Florida has been re-
stricted in regions where fires have
ragged, while pure pine forests have
taken their place.

What country possesses women with
the largest feet? This question arose
from an inspection Of wOmen'S feet
in Bond street during the busiest hour
Of the morning Women of many ma
tionaitieS passed, displaying under
standings that varied considerably
in shape and size.
Dutch and German women have
the biggest feet in the world said
Robert Wortley, court chiropodist
British women have the longest
feet, but they are narrow; japanese
women have the smallest feet of all,
and Americans the most beautiful,
because they are we'll cared for from
youth.

the beauty honor to the French wom-
an, whose foot IS triumph of grace,

COULD NOT RELY ON SUNDIAL
Garden "clocks" Were Always More
of an Ornament Than Kept for
Any Practical Use.

The smdial became popular gar
den ornament in the sunny parts of
Europe in the Fifteenth century.
There were older time recorders.
There were hour-gasses, candles
that marked the time by their burn
ing. Lamps that indicated the hours
by the amount Of oil consumed, and
the water clock, which was the most
reliable of all these time-recOrdinA
devices. When the sundials came into
vogue they were bought by rich men
who could we'll afford to have a clock,
the cost of which was less than the
cost Of an ornamental sundial. The
peasant who could not afford a clock
did not need a sundal, because he
could tell time, or nearly tell the
time by looking at the sun, or by the
slant of his own shadow.
The south of Europe fashion Of the
sundal spread to England with the
fashion of the formal or Italian gar
den, and when English, Irish and
Scotch gentry fled to the colonies, or
simply emigrated to the colonies, they
took with them the idea that a gar
den was not a garden without sun
dial, any more than 1t could be
garden without a box hedge, a bOr-
der of jonquils, some arbor vitae trees,
a gravel walk and rustic bench.
In the older settlement portions OF
Maryland and Virginia and including
the District of Columbia it is not un-
usual to find these sundialS, or the
stump" or base on which the dial
rested, in the gardens of old homes,
Yet it Is q fair assumption that on
every place where there was a sun
dial clock run by wheels and
weights licked away in the manor
house, or in the mansion house, and
that every land owner who could af-
ford to have sundal in his garden
carried Il gold watch or silver watch
IN the fob pocket Of his small
clothes

HOT, DIZZY FEELING
Atlanta Lady's Uncomfortable and Annoying Condition Relieved,
 She Says, by Cardui.

Atlanta, Ga.-Miss Alice Frances Young, of 28 East Alexander Street, this city, says: After entering wo- manhood, I suffered so much with womanly weakness. My back ached. I would have, at certain times, hot feeling that seemed to go to my head Even my shoulders would hurt, and itI made me very dizzy and uncomfort-I able. When the blood would flow tol my head-I suppose that was what it was--I would faint and feel so weak.
 T couldn't do my work. I had al good position, and this was surely annoying as we'll as embarrassing. II would usually have to go home and go to bed. I certainly suffered greatly.
 T heard of Cardui, and my mother bought it for me. It was the first and only medicine that ever did me any good for this trouble"
 Dizziness, headache, sideache, back ache, tiredout feeling and other dis agreeable symptoms are often signs of womanly troubles. Thousands of wo- men who formerly suffered from these and similar ailments have found Car dui a very valuable remedy.
 Cardui Is composed only of pure, vegetable ingredients which have long been recognized as of medicinal value in the treatment of many diseases and disorders peculiar to women.
