1t has been said that not one woman in
a thousand passes this perfectly natural
change without experiencing a train OF
very annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms. Those dreadful hot flashes,
sinking spells, spots before the eyes,
dizzy spells, nervousness, are only few
of the symptoms. Every woman at this

HOW NEWS READERS close OUT"
(Times-U nion.)

Certainly. newspapers are read for the news
they contain. But it isn't all in the columns ac-
corded to news dispatches and chronicles of local
events, city and state. Not by a whole lot
There's just as valuable news and information in
the advertising columns, frequently more 81. OF
course the news of the day and comment there
on, or publication of important facts, discoveries,
and the lke-all is interesting ones desire for
information may be inclined. But that interest
is more less evanescent, disappearing as one
days news follows another.
Do not mistake what is intended to be meant
news, considered in its restricted sense, is of
value. But some of it, much of news, in fact,
is to be found in the advertising columns to
which many people turn regularly for those items
of news business, financial and other news, that,
for them, has distinct money value. They find
there the very latest most reliable information
concerning things in which they have a real,
direct interest. For illustration, if on the news
pages of a publication it should be stated, where
all would be sure to see it, that in an advertise
ment of that same issue there wastod of an
opportunity to get possession OF real honest-to-
goodness money, what a general and careful read
ing there would be of the advertisements, with
the hope of finding the very that contained
this particular informatiop-for who does not
want money?
Well, that's what advertisements contain, aside
from information-moncy For isn't what one
saves or invests prudently means Of acquiring
more money to save or invest? That being grant
ed then advertisements that read are
readyat-hand opportunity for making money, at
opportune times, at least, as when one desires to
acquire something of value, food or commod
ties of various sorts. Frequently, too, the zeal
GUS reader of advertisements finds something that
he or she is not looking for but that is of such
appealing price merit as to lead to immediate
purchase where otherwise the buying would be
deferred, only to involve greater outlay and a
consequent more less serious depletion OF the
bank account of the individual.
In the sense that money saved is money earned,
advertisements are distinct and easily en-
ployed aid to making money, fact that is lost
sight of by those who do not read the advertise
ments, at least those of their home newspapers,
wherein is both information and opportunity.

of the antitrust act 1t was brought out that rep
resentatves of the member companies met at stated
times, exchanged price lists and other trade data
and talked over the situation. 1t was not proved

All the members abided by the general agreement
without compulsion.
Judge Carpenter decided that this did not con-
stitute trust He held that competitors had
right to swap price lists and other information
and work together in harmony.
This decision, if it is accepted as law, wipes out
everything that has been accomplished in the long
fight against organizations In restraint of trade.
The linseed oil companies were doing exactly
what a dozen previous court decisions, TO say
nothing of the statutes of the United States said
they should not do. True, they were avoiding
certain visible features. which have been especial
ly interdicted, but they were functoning as
trust as completely as the various railroad com
bnes, meat companies, oil companies and other
concerns that have been dissolved. They were
doing all that the trainers of the law sought to pre-
vent But. as the court hints, new conditions make
new methods necessary. The trust has come to
stay.
We do not pretend to say whether this is right
or wrong but it is clear, at least, that whatever
is said by political leaders about curbing the trusts
is to be set down as pure bunk

SPlCk AND SPAN
(TouristNew 81

Up i'll the north they wage their cleanup cam
paigns in the spring. just after the last snow has
passed away and the world is turning green
again The dirt and filth which accumuates dur
ing the long winter months is raked up from the
yards and streets and carried away. Fences are
repaired, grass seed is planted in the lawns, and
houses are covered with fresh coats of paint.
Florida also has its cleanup campaigns. but
they come at different season. Instead of in
the spring they are waged in the early days OF
fall, just before the tourists begin TO arrive. For
a week or more, concerted effort is made to
eliminate all the "eyesores" Vast quantities of
paint, building materials and elbowgrease are
used in the brightenng-up process.
The motive which prompts Florida cleanup
campaigns is different from that which inspires
them in the north: Florida has no really bad
season like the winter of the north, and conse
quently it never has the dirtcovered, rundown
appearance which comes after period when
outdoor activities are suspended. The cleanup
campaigns are not needed in the Sunshine State
for that They are held to prepare for the
winter visitors, much like Mrs Housewife "tidies
up" the home bfeore a guest arrives Florida
people are anxious to please the tourist in every
way possible, and as a result they work ener-
geticaly to make their cities spick and span.
The cleanup campaigns for this year have now
been completed throughout the state. Every
thing looks fresh and clean. Homes have been
made to look as attractive as possible, streets
cut down from vacant lots, flowers have been
cut down from vacant lots, howrs have been
planted Florida is putting it's best foot forward.

Daily Poem
BOYH0OD. TOWN

Kind God look down on BoyhooG
Town and keep it green forever
The long main street, with shade
trees sweet, the wharf and the
dreaming river.
Oh, lead us there when bowed with
care to hear its childhood story
Its song and speech of love that
teach the light of love and glory!
All, lead us down to Boyhood Town
when we are old and weary,
To taste and know the golden glow of
spirits fresh and CHEEKY!
Look down, we pray. on all that play
in childhoods bloomy valley;
Keep sweet the street where little
feet of youth and gladness rally;
Keep fair the place with pristine
grace that in our gray December
We may be lead with blithesome
tread to loves undying ember.
Kind God look down on Boyhood
Town many keep its soft lights
cleaning,
In gardens fair that blossom there
along loved paths of dreaming!

IF NOT BUNK, WHAT?

Henry Fords remark that history is all bunk "
has aroused good deal Of discussion, most of his
critics being apparently horror stricken at the IL
reverence of the great flivver maker for of the
most venerable and widely quoted branches of
learning.
But, to be perfectly frank about it, if history
isn't bunk what is it?
Any person who ever made a critical study Of
any historical person or event will agree that it
is practically impossible to learn the truth. What
sort of man was George Washington, for example?
Any school boy of course, can answer that ques
ton; but just try it real student of history.
He will tell you frankly that he does nc' know.
The best he can do is to construct from the con-
Trajectory data at hand, tentative picture of
the Father of his country, which differs at all
points from the conventional picture.
Exactly how great was julius Caesar, Alex
ander, Charlemagne, Oliver Cromwell, Napoleon,
the Duke of Wellington, Cen. Grant. Theodore
ROOSEVELT Nobody can give a precise answer.
Their contemporaries didn't agree, neither does
posterity.
Wndt Caused the ellOpOneSdn war, le unlC
Wars, the Crusades, the American revolution, the
World war? The less one has studied any of
these events the more ready he is with the answer
and the greater is the confidence with which he
presents it. We can speak with much more au-
thority about the siege of Troy than of cur own
Civil war; because there is so much less dispute
about it.
History is excellent reading comparing with
the best fiction in many of its chapters but on
how many points can it give information which can
be accepted as actually and literally true? Prob
ably none The trouble is inherent in the race
The truth in its entirety rarely told about any
thing. 1t is not wanted. Take Henry Ford's
own race for the senate. What are the facts?
We may guess. but we will never be absolutely
sure. What will history say about it? We do
not know but we do know that the whole truth
and nothing but the TRUTH will never be re-
vealed and acceped
All this does not make history bunk per
haps but to the man of clear thinking, who de-
sres to have clear, distinct and reliable ideas on
any subject he investigates, the hazy mass of i'm
possibilities contributions, antiquities and uncer-
tainties which make up The written record of
mans dongs on earth. is certainly not a monument
to inspire unstinted reverence
