UNLESS.

-NLLCEN.
The sinner never thrives for long,
Disgrace is sure to smirch his name.
Unless he wins, while doing wrong.
Enough to cover up his shame.
The one who turns to lawlessness
Is sure to have his wretched hour,
Unless he happens to possess
A pull with those who are in power.
Right always wins. unless it be
Ignored, which often is the case.
Vice is a hateful thing to see,
Unless it has pretty face.

just natural for girls to drive the

CAAI'I.

When certain South American nat
ives go on the warpath. they take
Caapi drug. extracted from the root
of a jungle tree. Caapi makes the
warriors absolutely fearless. super
humanity courageous, according to DR..
II. r. Rusby, of Columbia university.
He observed the effects of the drug
on one of his scientific expeditions.
In the next war, drugs like caapi
may be the most important fighting
weapons.
1t is not impossible that the general
of rctreatlng army may radiophonc
for few thousand barrels of stuff
like caapi, to be rushed by arcoplane.
Where is the glory of war, when it
is reduced to a laboratory or chemical
basis? Without that glory, no en-
thusiasm.

HUNGER.

The old theory that almost every
one eats too much and would he bet

bunk, according to DR.. Harry G. Stiles
talking to the Harvard medical school.
DR.. Stiles says that if you are fat,
you eat too much. and that if you are
thin you do no, eat enough. but that
you should always satisfy your hun
ger.
There is very little danger of oN"r-
eating. when food is chrwrd thor
