The oil magnate, Mike Murphy, who

where he was careful to do as the peo-
pie did, and to conform with social
usages as he found them.
At the table the venerable host
poured coffee into a saucer. But the

made the host angry. "Why don't you
sarse your coffee?" he beloved at the
son.

GOOD AND LOGICAL REASON
Mrs. Jones Knew Exactly What She
Was Doing When She Selected
Baby's Names.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jones had come to
that all-important part of naming
their new baby.
Mr. Jones, who, by the way, detest-
ed work, and liked nothing better than
to sit in front of the fire and watch
other people do it, wanted the baby
named plain "Bill."
Mrs. Jones had different views.
Il shall name the baby William OIL
yer Robert Kenneth" she asserted.
"But why all those names?" asked
her husband.
Because" replied Mrs. Jones, tart
ly, IF you look at the initials you will
find that they spell Work. so perhaps,
when baby grows up, he will take to-
it better than his father"

one Man Had Bio Inonma.

Washington.-On man in the Unit
ed States had an income of more than
100000 in 1918, according to sta
tistics made public by the commits
sioner of internal revenue Monday.
The identity of this Millionaire was not
disclosed, the commissioner explaining
that the law requires that returns be
held confidential.
In 1917 there were four individuals
in the United States who paid tax on
incomes in excess of $5,OOO,OOO Their
combined net income was $4,000, 900,
about $14,25O, 900 each, and the aver
age amount of tax paid by each of
these individuals was $4,9S7, 731. 1t is
probable the 1918 Millionaire paid
somewhere near that amount.

The Pennsylvania Plan.

The Pennsylvania railroad plan for
forestalling strikes and lockouts came
into operation with the new year.
Briefly put, this plan consists in sub
hitting disputes and grievances to a
joint committee of workers and man
ayers, who give decisions by a two
thirds vote. In other words, it is one
more form of that Industrial democ-
racy which is filtering through the eco
nOmic structure of the nation and
seems destined to change that struc-
ture far more than any legal reforms
OF course, the Pennsylvania plan
will not work 100 per cent of the time.
No human scheme does that. Political
democracy has several centuries of
trial and experience back of it, yet
even now it sometimes makes wretch
ed blunders, and exhibits such incred-
ible stupidity as to fill its champions
with despair But the only real alter
native to democracy is autocracy, and
contemplating the workings of that de-
vice of the evil one, democratic short
comings seem blessed and profitable by
comparison.-Ch Chicago Journal.

GIVING EnaIIshmen More Jobs.

To amellorate the unemployment sit.
uation, the British ministry of Labor
announces that all government estab-
lishments will be worked on short time
shifts, SO all employees may share the
work, dismissals be avoided and more
men given jobs. Private industries and
local authorities are urged to do like
wise. Portsmouth and Woolwich trade
unions and labor leaders at the Clyde
shipyards disapprove on the grounds
that it will reduce the wage level.

You Cannot GRIPPE Scken or Salvate Yourself if You

CalomeI salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get al bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents,
which is harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your

quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will
wake up feeling great, full of ambi-
ton, and ready for work or play. It's
harmless, pleasant and safe to give
to children; they like it.-Adv.
