Variety In the Diet

Today dieticians tell W that variety
u az important in our diet as Is food
quality, and, fortunately, >this can
easily be supplied In spite Of the high
or food prices today. Variety In food
is not luxury as 1t once was, thanks
to our national food purveyors. Think
Of the great opportunities that scien-
tific canning offers to the home man
ager-Of the ready-to-serve meat prod
ucts, Of sea foods distributed to every
part Of the country, and tropical fruits
and vegetables brought to US when the
snow flies.

All Of the mountains Of Montenegro,
Bosnia, the Herzegovinan and the Dali
matian coast are made of a spongy
limestone rock through which water
seeps readily. Sewers are unnecessary,
for If one digs down for fifteen feet In
any part Of the country one finds a
natural opening. and anything thrown
into that opening Is Immediately car
ried away. That is why no navigable
streams have ever cut through Dali
matia's mountain wall. The water
sOaks through and doesn't need to cut

The True Family Laxative

When the children are out of
sight they often eat too many
sweets or rich foods. This
brings on constipation in many
cases.
Watch these symptoms: Con-
stipation, sour stomach,
cramps, eyes heavy and dull,
bad breath, restlessness, and
biliousness. These are COM
mon to both children and
grown-ups and call for prompt
use of laxative.
To properly cleanse and purify
the intestinal tract which is
essential to good health; to
ward off and relieve consti-
patton and it's attending evils
use the True Family Laxative,

Mothers with their home wor-
ries are often irregular at
meals-have no appetite-are
often restless at night-are
tired and are troubled with dis
tressed stomachs-need a
prompt, pure herb laxative,
and such is DIR. True's Elixir,
the True Family Laxative.
The working man is apt to
neglect his health; may eat too
hurriedly and at irregular
hours. Often this puts the
bowels out of order-they fail
to function properly-causing
fretfulness, taking away the ap-
petite, slowing down the active
mind. To relieve these con-
ditions, have a bottle of
DIR. True's Elixir handy.
Use it as others have done
during the past 20 years.

Umbrella Charm,

Like many other trades, the umbrella
merchants have been under a cloud
metaphorically speaking-through the
year, but every merchant now takes
heart of grace and prays that all good
people will soon begin carrying and los
ing their umbrellas in the old profit
able way. Few take precautions
against loss, but in London club one
umbrella is notorious for bearing on
a gold label the strange device:
Cursed be he
Who stealeth me-"
Someone, attracted by the idea of such
q deterrent charm, asked the man who
carries this umbrella where he might
buy a similar one. He received the
somewhat shame-faced answer: "I-
er-borowed II"

MEXICANS WILL RISE UP AND CALL HENRY FORD BLESSED

Henry Ford is going to f'pacify Mexico with flivvers." The first of proposed chain of automobile factories will be built at Sal tillo, The governor of Coahula province, who seems to be a of vision, has offered the Ford company every facility. Land for the factory was donated and the company will be exempt from taxation for at least Is years
 Native labor will be paid somewhat less than the scale in the Detroit plants, but skilled American workmen who will have to be sent from the United States to Mexico will get higher wages than they receive in Amer lea.
 This is ancther one of MT. Ford's practical dreams which promises to be of inestimable benefit to Mexico. It will lead to an indus trial revival, give the Mexicans something to do and eventually end civil warfare. Ig- norance, poverty and idleness are at the bot tom of most of Mexico's troubles. A pros porous country, full of flivvers, will be a hap pier and much more desirable neighbor for the United States.
 Incidentally, MT. Ford is continuing his plans to "flivverize" the world, of which the Mexican undertaking is but one phase. He wants the Ford car to be used universally and proposes to build factory in Russia, increase the production of his European plants and double the number of cars made in Canada by building new factories at Walkersville, Ont. In Europe the motor car is the ideal form of land transportation and may some day sup plant most of the railroads.
 MT. Ford expects to turn out 150 cars a day in Mexico. At that rate it will not be long before Ford cars are as common in the southern republic as they are today in the United States. Whenever the limited hesi- tates at a little station, no matter in what part of this country may be travelling, there Is always "flock of Fords" at the lit tie red depot.

THE GREAT NEEDLE MYSTERY

Haywood Broun, in Judge.
 When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle rounded off his portrait of the famous Mir. Holmes of Baker Street and turned his own attention to the doings in the etheric fields, he probably said to himself that Sherlock would from then on be able to hold his own, no matter what manner of vrtuoso took hand at representing him.
 But the movies still had to be heard from, and what they have done to Sherlock Holmes has upset all the calculations,
 What possessed these anxious censors to re- move Sherlock Molmes' needle? Even if he had been brand new character, we think he might have been allowed one vice, like the cast in the eye of Venus, to make sure that he was not hated for his perfections In fact, in Sir Arthur Conan Doylese own heaven there are some saw ing small vices, such, for instance, as that mis- chievous boy who, said Sir Arthur, was prob ably the real Antigonish ghost. Even censors should know better than to try to run goodness into the ground.
 The censors may take the position that they will have no new wickedness poured into the heart of mankind, but they must learn that the more they scrub up the future, the more jeal- 
 upon the past.
 Whats more, the censored public will grad ually form the habit of filling in, not merely the known and familiar sins for these saintly skeletons presented upon the screen, but will go as you please.
 This will probably be an inevitable outcome of censorship, no matter how wisely it is ad- mnistered, since censorship is itself a stupid, losing fight. The world would have made it. self ''good' long time ago if it had wanted to be. While cussedness is beloved, and exists anyS how mainly in the inaccessible heads and hearts of audiences, they will manage to have it while the censors fan the air in vain But it does seem particularly unwise to try to purify Sherlock Holmes, who survives absolutely life size with his needle in the remembrances of all of those present, and therefore provides the perfect psychological pattern for seeing one thing and thinking another.

LAYING GROUNDWORK OF
 TRADE RELATIONS

Yearly 1000 students from all parts of the United States are in Mexico City to attend the summer session of the National Univer- sity of Mexico. This is harbinger of more trade and better relations with Mexico.
 The American students will acquire a knowledge of Mexican customs and traditions, as well as the language. Knowledge is the basis of a workable understanding and this is precisely what the United States has been woefuly lacking in, so far as the Latin Americans are concerned.
 Germans have obtained trade and strong personal footing in Argentine, Brazil and Mexico, because for decades Germany has trained her young men in the language, the history, the idiosyncracies and the trade cus- toms of these people. These young men have been thoroughly prepared for their mission and that is why German trade has flourished there.
 We are making the right start to promote good feeling and increase our trade relations with Mexico when we send our young men there to study the country. There ought to be a number of Birmingham young men in that group of students, because there is no greater opportunity for trade with Mexico than Bir- mingham industries enjoy.

LIBERTY BELL WILL STAY
 IN PHILADELPHIA

The mayor of Philadelphia has wisely de- cided that the Liberty bell must not be car ried around the country for exhibition pur- poses. It was recently proposed to move the historic relic to Chicago for local celebra- ton.
 The Liberty bell has left Philadelphia on several occasions. Years ago it was shown at the Atlanta exposition and has been taken to other parts of the country. The appropriate place for the bell is Independence hall and it looks now as if it would remain there perma- nently. Whatever appeal to patriotism may be made by exhibiting it elsewhere, the risk is too great to justify moving it from its proper setting in the shrine of American lib- sgty.

THE FIRST ELECTRIC CAR

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 correspondent notes from the Kansas City Journal of April 16, 1922, that the story of the development of the first cable lines and remarkable engineering feats necessary to conquer Kansas City hills, is carried in full. In that story it appears that the change from cable power to electric power took place in the Kansas City system in 1898. Kansas City, therefore, has no further claim to the distinction of having installed the first elec- tric street railway in the world, but it was the third city to install the cable system, which it did on June 24, 1885.
 When the Advertiser commented upon this question June IS 1t stated that it was not prepared to go into the merits of the Kansas City claim, but 1t was able to show that Scranton, Penn., and Richmond, Va, installed their electric street railway systems, after the Montgomery system was brought into being in the spring of 1886.
 Therefore, Montgomery's old claim must henceforth go unchallenged.

DEMOCRATIC ROYALTIES

From the New York Times.
 We all know the fatal instance of an authors royalty. John Melton, gentleman with flow ing hair entirely different from the ordinary and still prevalent notion of "the Puritan" got pounds for the copyright of Paradise Lost" with glorious anticipation of 15 pounds to be paid in installments. In our own brighter days we see our illustrous novelists and poets making the land happy with their villas, the ocean bright with their yachts. A happier time is ours, but do we realize sufficiently the "progress," as Dean Inge would say, since those obscurer poets7 In the earlier days, less for tunate for the literary union, how did things go? Montesque, of the Spirit of the Laws" what did he get out of it7 He had the hap piness of having 22 editions in year and half; but he got nothing out of it, except to the extent that the sale of his vineyards satisfied the English desire for his books.
 Poor old Jean Jacques Rousseau granted his entire literary property in al his works for a pension of 1,400 francA Even Voltaire, the most famous of the eighteenth century lot, made his fortune 'from the outside" He loved to "emancipate" man, but he made his money by lending it. On the whole, compar- ing the ancient economic gods of literature and the moderns, the latter have the best chance. Among the former, one gets dedica- tion to sovereign more ordinarily to "a per- son of quality" but the emancipation of the literary classes, slaves of the patrons for 200 years, came in our own time. The slave is now the master.
