If the nations of the old world are
in need Of a helping hand this country
should extend it to the extent Of it's
ability without material injury to itself.
That can be done in the way extend
ing the payment of the debts owed to
us over, long period Of years, even
to foregoing the collection Of interest
for number Of years,-provided the
people on the other side quit squander-
ing what they have in preparing for
another war-and 60 to work.
IL the governments of the old world
will make study Of the golden rule
and apply it, to their daily life there
will be little need of armies and navies
and the vast expenditures they entail.
We suggest that they quit serving
the devil for while and give the Lord
a chance to look in.
Then in time they will become pros
porous again and will be able to pay
their debts without working an unneces-
sary hardship upon any one.
Are you, by chance, worrying over
that .'terrible thirst?'' Drink a glass
Of water. In fifteen minutes drink
another. Keep On drinking until you
have consumed at least two quarts in
the run Of the day.
It won It harm you, and it will do you
a lot Of good.
As you become accustomed to large
quantities Of water, you will gradually
lose that>thirst for something stronger.
In time you may even be able to grin,
at the other fellow with that longing
and furtive look on his countenance.
Then, too, the more water you drink,
the less medicine you will need. It is
the greatest of all aids to indigestion
or constipation. :
Have one on us.
Make it jolly Christmas and don It
worry over the bills. They won't come
due until next years That sounds a long
way off, whether it is or not.
Browse around town and look into the
stores. You may be surprised at some
of the things you find. We've seen a
lot of 'em, and we know.
d., We suspect our local merchants are
attempting to make London and Paris
jealous-or perhaps they know the dis
eliminating taste Of our people and arc
simply trying to meet expectations.
At any rate, the "berries'' are there,
in the stores, waiting to be picked.
And believe us, they are worth pick
ing. 800.
Make the most Of Christmas. We
won't have another one this year.

If the excitement dies down entirely
in Washington there remains the pos
sibility that Mr.. Hughes will open his
mouth and make another noise.
The former emperor Of Austria
would be quite justified in soaring up
a broad grin. He has induced the allies
to ship him to Madeira and pay bic
household expenses.
Evidently the government Of Bavaria
is hungry, since it is arranging to pun
ish all heavy eaters. The eaters ought
to let the government fill up first.
Compliments are invariably appreciat-
ed except when followed by a touch.

Although he is surrounded by the
high dignitaries Of the world, they say
Mr.. Hughes remains as cool as Gu
cumber. Of course you know just how
cool a. cucumber is.

IT Mr.. Harding continues to keep his
mouth shut he may slide into history
as the fellow who didn't say it.

When fellow becomes too wise for
his day we just put him down for a
fool and let him rip.

Occasionally we hear of some fellow
who never says an unkind word to his
wife. But that isn't strange. 1t re-
quires inordinate courage in some cases.

When the average college graduate
returns home with his sheepskin@ in his
hand, he is prepared to revolutionize
the world. But if dad is wise he begins
the revolution first.

Keep smiling, but don't contract that
silly grin that 1won' It come off.
