Many Killed SeIUes
 OUer TriUidL Things

New York, Jan. 30.--More than 6,000 suicides in 1920, an increase of over 1000 for single year, were brought to the attention of the Save a Life Legion, according to it's annual report, made public today. Life was taken" the re- port says, flor the most trival req son in large number of cases
 "A man distressed because his new clothes were unsatisfactory.
 "A woman peeved because her husband refused to eat the pie she had made.
 "A man angry with his wife be- cause she refused to vote the Demo cratic ticket.
 "A couple in dispute as to how far a window should be left open for necessary air during the night.
 "A woman because of trouble over powder puff.
 "In 1920" the report continues, "3, ,567 men and 2,604 women com- mitteed suicide. Possibly the in- crease in suicides among women may be due to the fact that so many have recently entered business and political life Unhappy marriage re- lations and present living condi- tions also contributed largely to the situation.
 "Divorce figured prominently in self destruction last year, more than 100 persons killing themselves for this reason. The great number of farmers who have given way to despair has been noticeable and all so farmers wives. Possibly the many splendid boys lost in the war have been the cause.
 Nothing could be more regretted that the 400 soldiers who have de- stroyed themselves since returning from the war. Many also have been guilty of homicide.
 "This fearful and reckless de- struction of human life is confined to no particularly class or locality. Last year in the United States there were 75 presidents and mana gers of large concerns, 36 men m the millionaire class and 23 rich women who became weary of life and terminated mortal existence.
 'In 1919 editors of newspapers seemed to be immune, but the past year a dozen or more writers, in- cluding two or three editors, helped to make up the list. The lawyers number 24, with eight judges. Doc tors supply the greatest number among the professions, there being 51 reported to us.
 'Next to the physician was the actor and the actress. Forty were reported.
 "Self-destruction among children has reached an alarming situation. Tn 1919 there were ATT children who ended their lives. In 1920 the number was increased to TOT; boys, 223, girls ASA. The average age of the boys was 15, the girls 16. Boys most frequently used pistol, girls poison The youngest suicide last year was years old, the oldest 1O3.
 Mot only in the United States, but all over the world reports show a marked increase in suicide since the war ended. During the war the rate fell to the lowest in many years, and this is always noticeable in time of some great national ca lamity.
 Social, economic and well-nigh intolerable conditions, which have grown since the war ended, have grown to cheapen the value of hu- man."

YEAST BRINGS HEALTH
 WHEN RUNDOWN
Strenuous, Life Exhausts Vital ity Because Vitamines Are Lacking = Yeast Tablets Supplying Them.

Certain wonderful little elements called Vitamines, have been found to be absolutely essential to health and vitality; and they must continually be supplied to the impoverished body. just as we fertilize exhausted land. Yet most modern diets. principally made up of meat, potatoes prepared foods, polished rice, etc, are lacking in vita mines And now the great discovery has been made that yeast contains millions of vitamjnes. A little yeast added to the average diet causes chill dren to grow more sturdy, checks the signs of old age, and builds up rum down systems. Yeast has been found to be a splendid remedy Tor boils skin troubles, etc.
 The wonder-w working power of yeast
 is now common knowledge, proven by hundreds of experiments in great med ical institutions Thousands now take yeast in some form-but it is not enough to take common yeast which is intended onlye to aid in making bread. The common yeast cake is only a make shift, because it contains about 80 per cent starch and water and only about 20 per cent yeast.
 The liquid yeast of fermentation, concentrated. and combined with iron and other tonic ingredients, is the scientific vitamine treatment. Now new tablet has been worked out by famous chemists which supplies this special yeast in just the combination to do you the most good This tablet, called IRONIZED YEAST. is sold by all druggists, packed in sanitape pack age convenient to carry in the pocket.
 They are pleasant to take and will not nauseate. The tablets cost but a fraction more to the dose than the common yeast cake (only 10 cents day) and are much more effective. You will notice the benefits before you have finished your first box. Prevent run down condition-take the yeast road to health. Get a package of IRONIZED YEAST today.

OVERHEAD TROLLEY

 For out of the rubbish heaps of street car bArns and the tall weeds of vacant lots mule cars of third of a electric railway companies and again put on the rails today for a few hours under "hayburner' power.
 The reason for this demonstration is that the modern overhead trolley car was 8 years old this week, and electric railways for the first time in history are celebrating this event.
 It was in Richmond, Va. oS May 4 1888, that 30 electric cars equipped with overhead trolleys were put into operation and the contract for the first complete double-tracked line of this character in the world was accepted and completed
 For 50 years prior to that day in- vestors ranging from Thomas Daven- pert Brandon, Vt., blacksmith, to most of the famous inventors of the period, had been working toward the goal which Frank J. Sprague of New York City finally achieved.
 stephen D. Field and Thomas A. Ed ison began experiments late in the 70s and in 1879 Field filed an application for patent on third rail system. Tn 1880, MT. Edison built small road at his laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey, and demonstrated the, practica- bility of electricity as power for trans portation.

 It is recalled however, that at Ma rion last winter MT.

He drew the parallel at the time of town meetings and of the conduct of city and state affairs saying that whenever any thing definite was to be accomplished d a small group of influential citizens always had to do the job
