Tired2 oisoned Men. Good Tory Argument" !" An Honest Suicide. If We All Saved.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE

Tired business man. this is for you. pr. Ochsner of Chicago. very wise, says your trouble Is accumulation of poisonous fatigue material.e Cumula- tive dividends are pleasing but ac- cumulating fatigue poisons are not Poisons accumulate in the system and stay there, as does mercury when foolish people take it for medicine. Mere rest won't get rid of the poison, it must be worked off And it takes at least two weeks of work to un- load one weeks poison accumulation. What comes on slowly must go away slowly.
 In their fight for power and against Lloyd George the British tories have developed one ingenious idea. They buy Russian rubles. give them away at public meetings, saying to the crowd; The stuff we are giv- ing you for nothing used to be real money until bolshevism got control of Russia. Vote for labor and you will get bolshevism and money like this"
 You may call it a feeble argument. but 1t will make votes. The honest shilling there and the hundred cent dollar here. possess eloquence un- known to other political arguments.
 England still looks to artistocracy for guidance. Bonar Laws new cab inet includes two dukes, three mar pulses, four earls, three viscounts and several other sons of peers.
 Labor candidates ridicule this noble aggregation but England still loves lord.
 You have read almost everything about suicides, from the philosopher who jumped into volcano's mouth to the New Jersey man tired of dress ing and undressing every day. but this is new. Mrs. Carrie Kimball, discouraged. killed herself with gas in Paterson, N. J.. and left dollar bill to help the landlady pay for the gas.
 Enclosed is a dollar bill for the gas I used"
 Those were the honest suicides last words. May she find a world better than this at the other end of that gas Journey.
 The Northern Kansas Telephone and Power company says to its ens- ployes, Save part of your wages or lose your job" The plan works well. Every employe must save 10 per cent Many save 30 per cent, It sounds ideal as far as that group Is con cerned. But suppose everybody saved and became independent at 40, what would happen to the present social structure. That the thoughtless ma jority can be trusted to go on spend- ing Is fortunate for the thoughtful minority.
 Henry Ford buys the Wayne Coal company, largest bituminous coal has already bought enough northern forests to supply him with wood for ever. If he takes care of the new growth. He owns one railroad and though he Is not the richest man in the world yet coming next to Rocke- feller, 1t looks as though he would eventually be the richest, and inde-. pendent of everything but Old Father Time. You can't escape him or buy him out.
 And Ford, although he doesn't know 1t, wouldn't believe anybody that told him, lives in a way that will cut many years from time that he might have.
 The coal that Ford will probably buy for S15.o00,000 amounts to 1S0,- 000,000 tons under ground It is coal most easily mined. no tunnels, the ground is stripped off and coal scooped out by steam shovels.
 At s5 a ton is would be worth ssoo,oooooo; so s15.oOO. 900 is reason- able price and shows that coal min- ing must some time be profitable. 
 President Harding will offer prize for any practical concrete sug- gestions for collecting the foreign debts" That suggestion ought to be wcrth about ss.ooo, 900, 900. since we shall probably lose about 1O,o0O,- 000,000 on the deal.
 The public would offer a prize for "concrete practical suggestion to keep the United States out of the League of Nations, out of entangle- ments and out of lending any more money abroad.
 William Hohenzollern will give his new wife a diadem and ear rings, worth Soo,00oooo ma ks. good deal of money even yet, more than 1e0, 0oo real dollars. His new wife will be called Imperial Majesty, but unlike the diamonds. the title will noo be real.
 Germans from whom the money for the diamonds came can afford it. But they could not afford any more i'm perial majesty" It will take them a long time to recover from that hign sounding title.
