Which Kind of
A Pipe-Smoker
Are You?

There's the man who doesn't care
what kind OF tobacco he smokes in his
pipe Just so it holds fire and makes
rings.
And there's the man, minded to
have all there is to smoking. who will
fill his pipe only with tobacco of real
quality and flavor
The man who insists upon having
quality and flavor in his pipe-tobacco
may have to pay somewhat more for
it nowadays than before the War.
That's true of Edgeworth and Of good
tobacco in all forms.
But the difference in price man
pays for good tobacco is too narrow
to influence the judgment of pipe
smoker who loves his own brand.
Other things-all things-cost more
in proportion, and he is generally a
tolerant fellow who knows that when
it is time for good tobacco to come
down in price, it will come.

Christianity and the Law

To the Editor Of the EJSilin0 Public ledger:
Sir-whIle displaying traces of an edu-
alton obtained at a college or. more likely
at some theological seminary, w. E. Wag-
ner emaZes me by his fallaclous logic and
his either woeful ignorance or willtul dis
regard OF historical facts As evidence that
tho true motive OF the civil law Is other
than the protection OF our lives and prop
erty." Mr. Wagner cites the weli-known,
Infamous blue laws OF 1894 and decIatos-
that these laws are not primarily intended
for the protection OF life and property. but
for the protection and fostering or the
Christian religion and. quoting the "opin-
ion OF n we-known legal authority say
ing: christianity is R part OF the law or

we'll taken? II our Leg stature should enact

hours long what would happen? II we are
TO follow consistently the line Of logic in
troduced to us by Mr.. Wagner, we would at
once conclude that this proved that tho Legs-
laturo had tho right to regulate the move

ndCntly expect the motion OF the earth to
change in accordance with the law. No
sensible man would expect this So It is
with the data presented.
The facts presented by the gentleman
instead of proving that the true purpose OF
laws extends beyond the protection OF our

| should be repealed.

would say, rather, the pity Is that Mr.

Yesterdays
Mystery Solution

Tn THE case Of "Thc Shoeless
L Woman" Harvey Hunt came to the
conclusion that there was no logical eX-
planation for the missing slippers in
the assumption that footpads had at
tackled her and stolen them.
The only other assumption that would
fit the facts was that she had left her
house without them. This led him to
the further speculation that a woman
of such courage and poise as she had
revealed herself TO possess could only
have done such an illogical thing under
stress of fear so tremendous as TO
drive even her mind into a hystcrical
state.
She had thrown herself into an easy
chair before the fire. It was natural
that she should have kicked off her slip
pcrs. Then the cause of her fear had
appeared suddenly. 1t could not have
been an ordinary thieving intruder, for
she had shown exceptional courage
under similar circumstances before. II
must have been some one of whom she
stood in mortal dread. hence some one
that she knew, not stranger.
This persons appearance had throwr
her into such fear that she had fec
precipitously from the house. not wait
ing to recover her slippers. He hat
pursued. caught and struck her down
then, remembering the slippers, had gon'
back for them with the intention o
placing them on her feet to- remove an!
strikingly unusual feature to the case
but had been frightened away on his re
turn, probably by the patrolman whit
found Abita l.anicr in the road.
