HIS HERO.
I know far more than all the wisest
men IN all the land,
There isn't anything at al that I
don't understand,
There's nothing that I couldn't do
If I would only try.
I've Just found what a truly great
and wondrous man am I.
overheard an argument across the
garden wall
And learned I was the greatest and
the finest man Of al
learned that I can really make the
grandest sort Of kite
The kind that flies so high it nearly
goes clear out OF sight.
And my. The tops that I can maze
an all Of them Will spin.
And bows and arrows, flips and darts
and swords made out OF tin.
With whistles that will always blow
and sleds and big rope swings.
Il seems that am gifted and can
make al sorts OF things.
: hope in future years TO come when
manhood crowns his brow
He'll always think ne jus. as great
as he believes me now.
The plaudits OF the world viii nles
but little then II he
Should lose the pride his little heart
holds dear today for me.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

Those who yearn for the good old days will be
interested in the "reminiscences of Mrs Henry r
Pellet. who just celebrated the 60th anniversary
of her wedding.
When she married, her husband had IS as his

minister his fee and to provide them with weeks

Those who are looking forward to the June DAYS
as those Of happy mating may sigh for that day
when the dollars could be stretched into weeks
vacation in the far city probably 40 miles away,
but wonderful journey "a those days when 40
miles was a great distance.
The coat which her husband wore was made by a
tailor. That before machines and power
brought the making Of clothing into production
and all that he paid the tailor for his work after
his mother had spun The cloth at her LOOM was %

tailor who had 20 make suit for IS cents
Today the couple which adventures into matri-
rony would be appalled, the scantiness Of the
hoard. But 20 earn that six dollars and to save
IL required much energy and ingenuity as the
youth OF today looking towards this event in life
puts into the saving Of $500.
This couple travelled on their honeymoon on
borrowed horse. Today the fastest train would
carry them 20 times the distance with none Of the
fatigue and annoyance.
Should the wedding occur in London. as many
weddings VIII. tie equivalent OF this six dollars
would take them in an airplane 10 Paris keer them
there for at leas, two days and in that time they

This bride made her own dress from cloth which
she manufactured The business girl the factory

much less labor and much less effort
The good old days are something Of a myth
That six dollars IS a decev.ng figure. for dollars

DIRT.
Mother was troubled when he came
in
With his usual shout and his merry
grin,
For his waist once clean and his
shoes once new
Were covered with mud for an inch
or two.
And she said as she looked at his
ruined shirt:
Il think that he willfully rolls IN
dirt"
They argued It out in the usual way,
II couldn't help it." was all he'd
say.
"of course YOU could help it," his
mother said.
You could look where you're run
ming along. instead
OF seeking the puddles 10 wailow IN,
The way you act is a downright
sin"
Then he turned to me and he. said:
Say. Dad.
II you were playing a game and had
a chance 20 win II you'd catch a fly,
And you knew you could Il you'd
only try.
And the kids were yelling. Go get It.
Bud
Would you be stopped by a puddle OF
mud
IF you were or third with a chance

And your team was needing JUS one

And you started in and the throw
was straight.
With the catcher trying 70 block the
plate.
But II you could make it the game
was tied.
Would you think OF your sh!rtwais'

THE LIQUOR ISSUE.

With one amendment the bill presented 20
congress by the wet forces should be welcomed by
the prohibition adherents and unanimously adopted
That bill provides FOR local option elections this
fan IN each congressional district giving to the
PEOPLE the chance TO vote for light wines and beer
II they so desire and fixing tax to be paid to the
government
AS IL stands the measure is vicious for the liquor
question is a national not a local one The nation
De entirely dry entirely and no locality
should be able TO menace what the rest Of the
nation Believes be It's safety its morals and its
general welfare.
The dry forces should accept the wage OF battle
given by the vets and not only make the election
optional bur mandatory. and then provide that the
majority vote Of The nation must be the Will OF all
the people not the wishes of one district or of
small minority az Che people.
Those wb are camorins for return of booze
use as their strongest argument and appeal the
statement 1hat prohibition came when there were
two million patriotic Americans endange-ing their
lives % France and that it does not represent the
VIII OF the people.
Ts.at charge az course. Is untrue. Prohibition
came .n answer TO demand Of the people. and
when is came there were over 1000 dry counties in
America as against scant hundred in which liquor
was eeaI
But these GASES in what was otherwise desert
lad tae effect Of making the entire country wet
From taesn went out the supplies Of liquor 70

came .n defiance OF popular viii Is the truth

FOUR YEARS TEST.

Four years ago this week the postal department
began its first delivery mail by air II was over
short trip between washington and New York
Today that service extends from New York TO
San Francisco and every letter carried by air
reaches its destination at least "a hours sooner than
IL could be carried by train
The reports Of the department show an actual
saving in money as wei as in time in the operation
Of this service yet the congressional vaw and ira
dtional adherence of things limits the service
TO this one anscontnental line and to the few ships
which have been borrowed from the army or tried
out as experiments
What should be universal service for mail
OF a superior class is limited but the test has
shown the praotcabity of using airplanes for this
service.
When the government finally provides the
necessary Planes there will be saving in interest
on bank paper in the transmission from the great
oenters of more than enough to pay for the entire
cost of operation.
Any experiment which lasts for four years and
which has proved its efficiency should be OF such
worth 10 be adopted universally
The great value OF this experiment however
lies in its lesson in preparedness and the way to
accomplish such defense as to make this nation
impregnable to attack.
If mail service should emrlov enough avia+ors
to carry the first class mail between the larger
cities OF America, it would the first class mail

Neuralgia is a painful affair, which
may attack any one Of the nerves Of
sensation. 1t differs from neuritis.
because in the latter trouble there
IS actual Inflammation 10 account
for the nerve pain.
In neuralgia there Is shooting and
burning pain along the course Of the
nerve without any apparent reason
for the disturbance.
II has been decided that neuralgia
is merely a symptom. II Is rot s.
disease. It simply indicates that
something IS wrong with the body.
II is a danger signal set by Nature
to warn the victim Of some neglect
OF his body.
"Trifacial neuralgia" or etc dou-
loureux" is that particular neuralgia
attacking the nerve which is distrib-
uted over the face. eyelids. forehead.
tongue, jaw, teeth and gums.
When you bump your elbow. the
part called the crazy bone" you
know how your fingers tingle. The
pain Is not in the elbow, but in the
hand This is because nerve pain
IS always felt in the ends Of the
nerve.
When a nerve supplying such a
lot o. delicate tissues is affected you
can see why Il Is so painful. This is
why trifacial neuralgia Is so much
dreaded
The attacks may be very brief and
infrequent. They may last a few
minutes or just a second or two
without the slightest warning the
spasm comes and II may be so IN
tense as 10 cause the victim TO
scream and even TO roll on the floor
