Ripping Rhymes
VEGETARIAN
BY Walt Mason

Our doctor is a wise old lad and
oft he says TO me, "The whole blamed
world is feeling bad, as sickly as can
be. because the people are galoots who
seem to want disease; they will not
live upon the fruits that grow upon
the trees. The wholesome turnip they
traduce, they shy at beets and prunes:
they will not look on onion juice, or
pour it in with spoons. They all must
have their roasts and steaks, and VIC
tuals fried in grease; and so their
forms are filled with aches, which
aches destroy their peace. You've
eaten many COWS, my friend the
good old doc declares, land pigs and
chickens without end, and geese and
Belgian hares. Anr now your bones
are full of lime, you are a wreck,
no doubt, and you are moaning
half the time with rheumatic and
govt. If you had eaten pears and
plums and rice and lemon peel, you
would not have scorbutic gums, OF
anthrax in your heel Right gladly
would l now explain the evil of your
way, but must go and see Bill Blaine,
who had the cramps today. He ate
too many apricots, the contents of a
can, and now a bob-tailed spasam trots
around his inner man"

Coal Operators and Miners

A resumption of mining, which heads of I'M
ions say is imminent, will be welcomed by the
public, which, as usual is paying for the inter
ruption in the digging of COAL The interest of
the public in differences between miners and
operators is financial one, for it costs the con-
sumers millions of dollars every time work
stops.
The Chicago Tribune has been advocating
regulation of the industry which will prevent the
miners and operators from penalizing the con-
sumers every time they have wage scale diff
ference. Editorially the Tribune says:
'Mr. Lewis, head of the mine workers, has
called parley. He and others predict early
settlement after satisfactory negotiations be-
tween the operators and strikers. The public
will be left out That's where it has been and
will remain-out of counsel, out of pocket.
"If the public lets it go at that, it will have

only itself to blame when the next shakedown
comes, as come it will in due time. The industry
chemically overproduces. There are too many
miners. Therefore, when production is normal
we have too much coal, which benefits neither
the owners nor the miners. Then we have a cor
rection through the artificial checking of pro-
duction by a strike. Our coal piles dwindle Min
ers get outside work or live on their savings.
The price of coal goes up under the benignant
influence of the law of supply and demand, which
has been let loose for that purpose and the con-
sumner pays for the support of mines that are
inefficient and for miners who do not mine.
1--WE have no patent remedy for this uncom-
Portable condition. theoretically the surplus
mines should be shut down and the surplus min
ers should go to work where their work is needed
in some other industry. How to correct the basic
faults of this industry is not easy.

seeking way to solve it. There seems to be con-

Perhaps it can be broken up. Effective regula-
ton is evidently called for, and no time should

Our temptation will be to forget our troubles as
soon as they have passed, but we are foolish to

Yet again and again striking siInilari-
ties occur. The soil of the fertile Hun
garian plains is reproduced in strip
of land running through parts Of Min
nesota, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa
and Kansas.
The famous sod of Ireland is On soil
very like that along the coast of Wash
ington and Oregon. Moist climate and
heavy rainfall of this west coast
region are favorable for grass. The
land is heavily timbered, but where
the trees are cut out there are some
fine grass fields. Ireland, of course,
was cleared hundreds of years ago,
perhaps 1000 years, and rainfall is
better distributed there. But this
country may yet produce grass to rival
the emerald sod of Erin.
The Kentucky bluegrass that we
think of as typically American grows
on limestone soil very much like that
of northern France. The French soil
is somewhat shallower, Dr. Marbut
found. 1t is the best grass land OF
Europe, and is used for raising small
grain and fruit and for pastures.
1t is interesting to find that the

NO. 2S9-Tell1ng Numbers Of Dice
The following is a curious feat of
arithmetical divination. Let some one
throw pair of dice without your seeing
them. and have him note the numbers
OF the throw. You offer to discover the
numbers on the dice through the use of
a peculiar formula which you do as
follows:
Tell the thrower to double the spots
on one of the dice and add FIVE; then
multiply that number by FIVE To this
he adds the number of spots on the
other dice and tells you the total,
whereupon you instantly tell him the
numbers. To do this secretly subtract
twenty five from the number he gives
you, and you will have a number of
two figures. One of these figures is the
number of spots on one dice, and the
other designates the number on the
other
Example: The numbers thrown were
and ).
Doubling 4 equals 8. .....
Adding 5 equals ID.
Multiply by equals 65.
Adding spots on other dice equals S.
Total equals 20.

Without Pain or Bother
(Modes of Today)

1t is not necessary to use a painful
process to remove hairy growths, for
with a little delatone handy you can
keep the skin entirely free from these
beauty destroyers. To remove hair,
make a stiff paste with a little pow
dered delatone and water. Spread
this on the hairy surface and in
about minutes rub off, wash the
skin, and the hairs are gone. To
guard against disappointment, be care
full to get real delatone. Mix fresh as
