ham exhibited toward his attentions.
At any rate, he kept them up until
the very hour of his departure.
1t was when he happened to be alone
with me on the veranda a few mo-
ments before the coming of the taxi
which was to bear them TO their home
ward train that he gave me the real
explanation of his conduct.
Tell me, loveliest lady," he said,
with the touch of exaggeration which
his manner always holds toward me,
''tell me, haven't 1 squared up part
of your account with the old girl this
last week."
why. what do you mean?"I stam-
mered.
Don't pretend such innocence" he
retorted. IF you want me TO tell you
in so many words, beg leave to in
form you that I've been doing my
little best to annoy your august moth
er-in-law to nay her off for her gen.
eral cussedness toward you, and, in
cidentally, me-"
But she hasn't been cross to me-"
protested.
Not the last three or four days
perhaps, but I'll bet you've had dose
since she came to live at your house,
and you'll have another If she ever
finds out my wicked designs upon
you" He smiled mockingly and took
a step nearer to me. Don't forget
you owe me a kiss" he said, with
teasing righteousness, referring to the
time when he had Threatened to kiss
me under the water" Don't you think
You had better give in to me now"
Dickys step in the hall prevented
my rebuking him as l wished. 1 told
myself that. of course. his persistent
reference to that kiss was simply one
of mockery and 1 also admitted to
myself that as much as / loved Lii
liam was glad that her husband was
to be no longer a guest in our house.

HARDING's CABINET

President elect Harding has fire.
quently asserted that he intends to
know no distinction between the
solid south" and the remainder of
the country, that the time has come
TO forget sectionalism and that he
hopes to show by his administration
that he has the interests of every
section of the country at heart.
The president elect is a successful
politician. lie has been elected and
reelected so many times that he has
learned not to make rash promises
that he cannot fulfill. He has said
that he will recognize the south. Can
he?
In the last general election Mr..
Harding received a very heavy popu-
lar vote in the south, although he
carried but three states that are conn
monty known as southern states-and
only one of which is in the Southeast.
Nevertheless, the republican presi-
dent elect received many votes in the
south-many in Florida.
There have been many names sug-
gested for every cabinet office. North
and south, east and west, the calls
have come to Mr.. Harding to name
this man and that. He is facing a
problem of great magnitude and deep
Importance. The men he chooses for
his official family must be congenial
workers, capable, efficient. The great
majority which Mr.. Harding received
in the last election will demand that.
, Mr.. Harding must look the entire
country over to find the men he needs.
Some of them, no doubt, can be found
in the south, some in the east, some
west, some north. Mr.. Harding has an
opportunity to secure for himself and
his party a greater measure of
strength and national unity by Sc
lecting a southern man.
Many names have been suggested.
Among them are Hert of Kentucky
and Huston of Tennessee. Both are
strong men, loyal to the best interests
of the country and capable of filling
the cabinet positions for which they
have been suggested.
President-elect Harding could do no
better than name one or both of these
men.

ADVENTURES OF

to CONTINUE your journey to the South
Pole, shall see that your magic green

stole the toys
But the wizard took them away

be at the bottom of the sea by this

The fairy queen smiled and slap
ped her hands. Instantly there was
sound of wings and four white gufls
flew toward them. AS they lighted
upon the ice, each bird dropped a
little green shoe.
"Oh!" cried the children in delight,
Selling the shoes and putting them on
quickly. THANK you, kind birds. We
thought that" but another sound
of a great blowing and splashing in

so close that it threatened to over
turn them. The twins clutched each
other in alarm. But again came the
fairy queens voice. Don't be fright

Just then the whale, for that is
what it was, opened his jaws wide,

that was the end of them. Instead,

INCOME TAX
FACTS
INCOME TAX FACTS

Ordinary and necessary expenses"
in the conduct of a business are de-
ductible from gross income in making
an income-tax returns for the year
1920
What constitutes ordinary and nee
essary expenses, however, is a ques-
ton that puzzles many taxpayers. Nj
merous inquiries have been received
by the bureau of internal revenue
from automobile owners regarding
purchase and upkeep of such vehicles
and allowable deductions therefor. The
purchase price of an automobile, even
though the car is used wholly or part
~ in the business of the taxpayer, is
not a deductible item because it rep
resents a capital investment. If an
automobile, such as a motor truck, is
used exclusively for business purpos-
es the cost of gasoline, repairs, and
operations may be taken as a neces-
sary expense. If an automobile is
used one-half the time or one third
of the time for business purposes. the
same fractional part of the cost of re-
ps1irs. gasoline, and upkeep may be
taken as q necessary expense. No de-

HEALTH TALKS
BY r. r. SPENCER, M. o.
I'M MI

The use of the term Immunity in
both medicine and it's allied sciences
is generally meant to include that
condition of person or animal which
renders him healthy and sound in the
face of an invasion and attack of dis
ease agents. 1t can be readily seen
that the degree of immunity or re-
sistance OF any individual will vary
with the nature and manner of attack
of the enemy, as well as the condition
and defensive methods of the attacked.
A person who is immune to scarlet
fever or diphtheria it not necessarily
immune to smallpox or mumps.
though he may be. One may be i'm
mune to a disease at one period of life
and not at another, or at one time of
the year and not at another, or even
one time of the day and not at an
other. The climate, the living condi-
tions, the kind of air we breathe, the
food we eat and even our thoughts
may be factors which determine
whether a disease is resisted or not
From this 1t may seem that there are
all degrees of immunity and that i'm
munity is s. relative and never an alb
solute condition.
Therefore in protecting people
against disease, all the conditions on
both the defensive and offensive side
must be considered. 1t would be fool
ish 20 center our attention on defen-
sive methods entirely and not study
the numbers, strength and manner of
attack of the offensive.
When person unfamiliar with the
habits, temperament, tenacity and
strength of a bulldog is suddenly at
tackled by one, u bystander might ad-
wise the vigorous use; of the walking
stick which he holds in his hand
as the most effective weapon of de-
tense. Even if this might not prove
effective in all cases. Likewise, when
attacked by diphtheria it would ap-
pear reasonable to use a weapon, an
titoxin, which has been prepared af-
ter a long study of the nature and
method of attack of this disease and
one that has proven effective in so
many cases, and not depend entirely
on the excellent physical condition of
the body. Physical condition does not
necessarily mean immunity to disease
and the defensive mechanism of the
body is not at all apparent and in no
instance is it possible to measure it
accurately. In fact, during the influ-
enza Epidemic the mortality was the
highest among the healthy, strong
and robust. This fact alone should be
sufficient evidence that the attacking
agent must be considered.
The object of all healing sects is 10
protect the human body from the at
tack and the invasion of various
agents. The body has thousands of
such enemies and, therefore, it would
hardly be reasonable to employ only
one method or weapon against every
kind of disease. Each individual case
is a problem in itself. The outcome of
the battle will depend not only upon
the strength of our citadel, the body,
but also upon the strength, virulence
and kind of enemy that is attacking.
There are many authoritative cases
in which a complete cure has been af-
fected through strength of mind.
through faith or through prayer, and
these measures are splendid adjuncts
to all therapy. but TO depend upon
them entirely is irrational.

THE EARTH AND MAN

by Stopford Augusta Brooke)
A little sun, little rain,
A soft wind blowing from the west
And woods and fields are sweet again,
And warmth within the mountains
breast.
So simple is the earth we tread,
So quick with love and life her
frame:
Ten thousand years have dawned and
fled,
And still her magic is the same.
A little love, a little trust.
A soft impulse, a sudden dream
And life as dry as desert dust
Is fresher than mountain stream.
So simple is the heart of man,
So ready for new hope and joy;
Ten thousand years since ii began
Have lett it younger than a boy.

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM E. BARTON
THE DROP AND THE OCEAN
BY DR.. '
Most of us learned when we were
children those delightful lines:

Little drops of water little grains
of sand,
Make the mighty ocean, and the
pleasant land
That poem was intended to teach
Us, and in many cases did teach US
worthily, something of the value of
things that we were tempted to think
of as so small as to 1oe of little ac-
count.
Let that lesson remain; we shall not
need to unlearn it. When a king can
die of the bite of a pet monkey, and
a fatal illness is attributed to a pin
prick, we are in no position to de-
spise the day of small things.
But the ocean is more and other
than Drops it has it's oceanic char
acter. That which bears upon it's
heaving breast the commerce of the
world, that which dashing against the
shore wears away the everlasting
rocks, is more than drops.
The pleasant land, likewise, is more
and other than sand-grains. That ter
ritory which upon the map is marked
with the title 1.-The United States of
America" cannot be described by a
counting of the grains of sand into
which it might conceivably be re-
solved.
1 have seen in the museum of a
medical college a large glass jar con-
tanning a bucket or two of water, and
a smaller one containing lime and an
other containing salt. and one with
a pinch of PHOSPHORUS. and q few
others, and have been told that these
are the component parts of a human
being. But no man ever seriously pro-
posed to shake these together in q
churn and create a man. =.
Nor is man himself the final hui
man unit. No individual since the
race began has been capable of re-
producing, alone and unaided, a single
unit of human life.
of a larger unity in the family. And
the family cannot fulfill every nor
NAL function save in the larger unity
of the tribe or the neighborhood or
the nation.
The kingdom of heaven is more than
a mob of isolated saints; it is the or
ganic unity of innumerable minds and
hearts working out a great common
task. That, and not alone the little
drop of water and the little grain of
sand. make spiritual continents and
vast reservoirs of power.

REVELATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY ADELE GARRISON.
Mrs. Graham ReIents.

During the rest of the Underworld
stay it seemed as if my words had
come true. The ice once broken, nv
mother laws heart thawed percept-
IDLY toward Lillian.
By the time the day came when
Harry and Lillian left us to go back

dices as to bid Lillian a reluctant fare
well. and express a sincere wish that
she might soon see her again.
Toward Harry Underwood my
mother-in- laws demeanor remained
rigid. She treated him with formal, icy
politeness which irritated Dicky, but
appeared greatly to amuse Mr. Under
wood. He took delight in paying her
the most elaborate attentions, laying
fresh nosegays of flowers at her plate
at each meal. If he had been lover
besieging a beautiful girls heart he
could not have been more attentive
while he was absolutely impervious
to all the chilling rebuffs she gave
him.

which is always a part of this mans
humor was gratified by the frigid an

Where Women Err

Where Women Err
A position wanted" advertisement
appears in a national publication as
follows: Because am a woman
you can secure my services for mod

same training and experience as d
sales promoter, college professor and

If this woman obtains a position
as q result of her advertisement It
is not going to be a place with a
very high-class concern, for the rea-
son that no truly successful business
executive is going to employ a woman,
however experienced she may be. who
cheapens her services because of her
sex in order to obtain a position which
can be filled by a man.
If women are to succeed in the bus

mand the same standard of pay. There
can be no good or sound economic

competition between the sexes.
Only cheap skate" concerns will
entertain the employment of women
at one salary and men at another.
Women who have high ideals and look
forward to taking their places in in

tivities must place the same valuation
upon their work as if they were men.
Those who believe they may under
