THE DOOR SLAMS
ON HAPPINESS
Poor Blood Makes Bad Health
Then Come the "Blues."

Once the vigor of red blood be-
comes Slapped of its strength, the
door to happiness is literally
slammed. WEAKNESS of body follows
and it unfailingly engenders depress-
ing thoughts. TO be reserved and
cherries becomes habit. After a
time there is an almost filmy pallor
to the skin. Days seem dull and
dark and difficult. A sense of in
sufferable gloom pervades the spirit.
Then it is that GUIDES Pepto-Man
gan is the great help. 1t is red
blood builder. 1t puts red into the
blood-increases the number of cor
puscles which make blood rich and
red. When the blood is restored to
its natural healthy state, the sensa-
tiop of well-being returns. Instead
of shutting along carelessly, there is
the firm and springy step, the bright,
Iusterful eyes, the clear complexion,
identified with the strength and
vigor of good health. The druggist
has GUIDES Pepto-Mangan in both
liquid and tablet form. Adv

Cannot Hear Clock Chimes.

The correspondent of a London pa
per says that Parisians are complain
ing of the unusual noise of their city
due largely to the general use Of the
automobile. The streets are filled
with public and private automobiles,
and the din is constant and terrible.
An organized movement is endeavor-
ing to have some of the noises sup
pressed, and the chief complaint is
that Paris cannot hear her chime
clocks, of which there are many in
the city.

S1O,OOO,OOO AID
FOR VETERANS
Red Cross Provides Friendly
Service of Many Kinds to
Army of Disabled.
BULK OF WORK BY CHAPTERS
1857 of These Are Helping Ex-
Service Men Obtain Bene-
fits U. S. Provides.

One field Of Red Cross service alone,
that Of assisting disabled veterans Of
the World War, entails expenditures
$4,000. 900 greater than the aggregate
receipts of the Annual Roll Gall Of
1890, the American Red Cross an
nounces in a statement urging g wide
spread increase In membership at the
Annual Roll Call, November IL to a.
At the present time National Head
quarters and the nationwide chain Of
Chapters Of the Red Cross is spend
Ing approximately S10,0O0,0O0 annual
" for the relief of disabled ex-service
men and their families, while the ag-
gregate receipts from last years Roll
Call were approximately 100000.
1t Is in the Ease Of the 5000 Red
Gross Chapters which still are helping
solve the veterans problem of adjust
Ing himself to normal civilian status
that the greater part of the cost OF this
service Is borne. OF the total sum
spent for veterans relief last year,
National Headquarters expended to-
tai Of more than $2,6O0,OOO, while the
remaining disbursement of approx
mately $7,0OO,OO0 represents the con-
tribution Of Chapters In this country
wide effort to assist the Government
In providing the aid sorely needed by
these men and their families.

An Ever Expanding Problem

That the problem Of the disabled
service man is ever-expandingi and
probably will not reach the peak be-
fore 1925, Is the assertion Of well-in-
formed Government officials and that
1897 Red Cross Chapters regard II
as their most important work is evil
dence that the expansion is In powise
confined to a particular section but Ia.
on the contrary, nationwide. AT the
end Of the fiscal year, June 80, 1921,
there were 26,3OO disabled service men
In the 1892 United States Public
Health Service, Contract and Govern
ment Hospitals and Soldiers Homes,
and that number is increasing at q
rate OF 1000 a month.
Thousands Of these men receiving
medical treatment, compensation and
vocational training from the Govern.
ment today, started their efforts to
obtain them through the Red Cross
Chapter.C The Chapter, acting as the
disabled mans agent In claims against
the Government, informs the man as to
the procedure necessary to gain for
him that which is provided him by
Federal statute. His applications for
compensation, medical treatment and
training are properly filed with the aid
Of the Red Cross Chapter.
Many Forms Of Assistance
II there Is delay before the man,
claim Is acted upon, the Red Cross
Chapter lends the man money to meet
the imperative needs Of himself and
his dependents.
Most vital to the mans gaining full
benefit from the Governments care is
keeping his mind free from worry about
his home. Keeping the veterans fam
lily from hardship Of every kind and
informing him Of its welfare is an
other province Of the Chapter. Free
from fear on this score, the mans re-
covery and advancement usually In
rapid.
Every month during the last year,
the American Red Cross has given
service Of one kind or another to an
average Of 1925 former service men
and their families. An indication Of
the extent Of the faith reposed in the
Red Cross Chapter is to be found In
the fact that there were 356,544 re-
quests for friendly aid In the solution
Of personal problems.
44e Workers In Hospitals
While the man prior to entering
Government care deals largely with the
Chapter, afterward he comes into con-
tact with the service provided by Ma
tional Headquarters. There are 44S
Red Cross workers in the United
States Public Health Service and con-
tract hospitals and other institutions
In which these men are being cared
for, whose duty is to provide for his
recreation, help him with his compen-
sation claims, keep him In touch with
his family in short, meeting his every
need outside Of that provided by the
Government. While these are a few
Of the responsibilities Of the National
Organization, they are by no means
ALL Among other Red Gross accom-
'phshments for the year are:
1t handled 70,732 allotment and al
lowance claims.
1t delivered through its Chapter or
ganization 63,655 allotment checks to
veterans who had moved from the ad-
dresses furnished to the Bureau OF
War Risk Insurance.
1t provided a special fund Of $4,000
for medical assistance to men under
vocational training.

bread? La That requires all that
George Bailey says, and a pair of old
black hands to boot-and a red ban
danna handkerchief-and old black
mammy's voice, rich, mellow and de-
votional, singing:
How firm foundation ye saints
of the Lord
There is little to add to this except
the thanks of the mighty congrega-
ton of cornfeds throughout the south.
The south has not in late years been
as true to its political traditions in
all respects as it might have been.
Let the south be on guard against
this threat by the enemy to put sugar
in our corn bread. We confess that
recently we were slightly disturbed
by the saber rattling of a writer on
table etiquette who fired from behind
the breastworks Of a Kansas City pa
per which has some circulation on
the borderland of the south.
This etiquette hound tried to teach
us a new way to eat fried chicken. He
or she-sneered at the only way
most Of US ever knew or cared for, of
holding the chicken in the fingers
and biting it, and said the proper
way was to cut the chicken off the
bone with knife and fork and never
touch II with the fingers. AS If that
could be done.
Now we do not think the Kansas
City man is likely to get very far with
his attack upon an old and honored
custom in the south, but we resent it
that he could even have thought of
the new and hifalutin way OF eating
chicken and that he should have had
the hardihood to propose II publicly.
His gesture is at least an alarming
symptom. and SO we should be on
guard.
Else, yielding here and there, we
must finally be driven away from
even the hot biscuits which have hon
ored the south scarcely less than its
warriors, statesmen and poets.-Mont-
! gomery (Ala) Advertiser.

GAVE HIM A SHOCK
The Preacher Who Talked a Little
Too FamiIiarly With the
Waitress.

Tom Cranfil of Texas, prominent in
Oil circles of late, tells the following
on minister who had discovered oil
invited some of his deacons to go
with him to the new field, so that
they might share in the opportunities.
They were breakfasting at the local
eating house and had decided that
they would order chicken. When
waitress, a calcimined and peroxided
miss, came up, the minister inquired:
How is the chicken this morning p"
"All right, kiddo!" she Tetorted.
How are you?"

MISSOURI CORN BREAD
The Staff of Life That the Old Colo
nels Will Not Tolerate Taking
Liberties With.

Recently q theoretical cook, who
makes a living by writing rather than
by cooking, published a formula for
a new kind of corn bread. Comment
ing upon the recipe Colonel George
Bailey of the Houston Post said with
some heat: about that corn bread
recipe which includes three-fourths
OF a cup of sugar. Tell them not to
do it. Sugar in corn bread is an
abomination. 1t ought to be made a
crime. 1t violates every tradition of
the south. 1t insults the palate. 1t
mocks the culinary art. When the
Lord made corn. he put all the sugar
in it he intended it to have"
Colonel Henry Watterson. in re-
tirement near Louisville, saw this at
tack by Bailey upon the newest vice,
and though more than so years old,
the intrepid colonel rushed to the
side of the Texas colonel to strength
en- his arm.
In letter to the Courier-J ournal,
the Kentucky colonel, after quoting
the Texas colonel, says:
Corn bread with sugar in 1t was
an ideal born OF the devil, planted in
New England and sent south by our
enemies. 1t is threatening the life
of real corn bread right in the land
of its birth. 1t has done and is doing
worse. 1t makes men trifling and
women frivolous. 1t is responsible
for most of the murders, suicides and
divorces. 1t is the mother of bolshev-
ism and the dady OF anarchy. 1t
weakens the brain, infuriates the liv-
er and makes people pot-bellied. 1t
brings scorns and badness and SAT-
fronizes the complexion. 1t makes
the nose shiny and the skin purple.
1T drives husbands downtown of
nights. 1t causes the servants to be
insolent and obstreperous 1t creates
an appetite for moonshine.
"It emboldens a man to refuse his
wife's request for money. But for
sugar in corn bread, there would be
no war, no flies or mosquitoes, no
ants or reaches, no /. w. W., no re-
publican party.
let the twentieth amendment to
the constitution forever prohibit sugar
in corn bread, and let's have the vote
right away.
''This would seem all embracing
and is sufficiently conclusive. New
England may know how to bake
beans. They say the cider in Maine
is a good substitute for whisky. 1t

The West Plains Quill points with
pride to its want ad column which is
so efficient that it even caused one
former West Plains woman to burst
into verse about it's excellencies. AZ
ter pointing out how many doggies it
has restored to home and money to
worried losers the Quill adds: "And
once the want ad column secured a
wife for lonely bachelor. He lived
in the state of Washington but want
ed an Ozark spouse. A few weeks
after the ad was published in the
Quill he appeared in the office with
a pocketful of answers. 'Seein' as
how three young wimmin was runnin'
this paper, he said coquettishly and
hopefully as he fingered through the
package of love m missives, L thought
mobbe--' But his remark was
never finished. A desk top came
down with a bang. A typewriter be-
gan a warning clickety click in an
other corner, while a blue serge skirt
was seen to disappear through a con-
venient doorway leading to the me-
chanical depar .ment." But the Wash
ington man got a wife, anyhow, the
Quill says.

THE biggest elm tree in this part
of the state was cut down and sold
at auction south of Excelsior Springs
recently" reports the Excelsior
Springs Standard. "The money is to
be used in the road fund of the dis
trict. The auctioneer gave his SER
vices free and the residents of the
place cut down the tree and prepared
it for sale. The stump, cut at .the
ground, measured twelve fee across.
Six feet above the ground it was
twenty feet in circumference. The
main part of the truck had to be
rolled into ditch as it was too big
for hauling or for an ordinary saw to
cut. One of the limbs was thirty
two inches around, and it was esti-
mated that there was from seventy
five to a hundred cords of wood in
the whole. 1t took two days and a
half to cut it down and about ten
days to cut it up. Only about half the
wood was sold. 1t stood in the mid
die of the road"

According TO the Windsor Review.
Garland Ruffin and his brother Of
that place have been sorely troubled
recently by the loss OF eight of their
fine Aberdeen-Angus cows who died
suddenly and with all the symptoms
Of poisoning. Diligent search failed
to reveal any poisonous weeds and
the mystery remained battling until
an old container was found in the
pasture that had apparently been half
fun of white lead paint. The animals
had licked the bottom clean and gone

Henry Benin, the west side farmer,
called at the Journal office last Fri
day and in speaking Of snake stories,
he has the word beat. lie has six or
eight bull snakes on his farm from six
to seven feet long that are as kind as
kittens and il you should kill one of
them, he woul6 prosecute you the
same as If you should kin a\horse or
a cow, the snakes being a wonderful
help, in his estimation, in Kidding the
farm of rats and mice and in helping
rid the fields of bugs and worms.
When the army worms were bad a
year or two ago, these snakes would
follow the corn rows and hunt for
the worms the same as cats hunt for
mice and got a lot of them. Henry
and his son handle the snakes like
they do kittens and In hot weather
the snakes are frequently found coil
ed around water jugs taken TO the
fields or meadows and serve the same
as a refrigerator in keeping the water
cool. When plowing or discing It is
frequently necessary to stop and drive
the snakes out of the way TO keep
from running over and killing them.
