Chinese Dairy Farmer Had Good Elk
cuse for Selling His Product
Without Using Scales.

A dairy farmer living In a small
town was recently summoned to ap-
pear before the local magistrate on a
charge of selling butter under weight.
The complainant was the village
baker, who felt he was being wronged
When he discovered that every pound
of the farmers butter fell below the
weight that a pound ought to be.
"Have o a pair of scales?" asked
the magistrate of the farmer.
Eyes, your honor"
"And weights?"
mo, your honor, l have no weights"
"You have no weights How, then,
can you weigh your butter?"
"That is very simple, your honor.
Since the baker has bought his butter
from me, / buy my bread from him,
and his one-pound loaves serve me as
weights to weigh my butter. If the
butter does not weigh what 1t should.
1t is the bakers fault, and not mine.

Reject Whisky as Medicine.

Chicago.-A large majority OF ply

alcoholic questionable, asserted they
did not regard whisky, beer and wine
as necessary therapeutic agents in the
practice of medicine, while nearly two
thirds of them said they believed there
should be restrictions in prescribing
whisky, beer and wine. About three
fourths OF the replies asserted there
were no instances In the practice of

TO AVOID
WRECK OF PACT
CONTENTION THAT DAHL CANNOT
RATlFY TREATY is GENER-
ALLY CONCEDED.
WILL ACCEPT TREATY
NO DOUBT THAT TERMS WILL
MEET WITH GENERAL APP
PRovAL OF IRELAND.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service

Dublin.-Although no compromise
of the Anglo-Irish treaty in the Dali
Eireann has yet been attained, future
plans designed to avoid wrecking the
agreement are being considered.
1t is generally recognized now that
canon de Valera was right in stating
that the Dali has no power to ratify
the treaty. The treaty itself prescribes
the mode of ratification to be by the
members elected to sit in the House of
Commons of southern Ireland, which
was constituted under the home rule
act of 1920, but which actually never
met and which, except for the purpose
of ratifying the treaty. probably never
will meet. The membership is nearly.
but not quite, the same as that of the
Dali.
The Dali includes some members
from northern Ireland, and excludes
four elected to the southern parlia-
ment from Trinity college.
The indication is thai after the Dali
approves of the treaty, which it is
expected to do by comparatively small
majorities, the ratifying body named
in the treaty shall be summoned. The
Dali members who are dissatisfied
with the treaty nee not attend this
gathering, 1t is pointed out, and thus
their colleagues. plus the Trinity mem
bers. might ratify the document unani-
mously. The Dali would still function
as Ireland's only recognized elected
parliamentary assembly.
A provisional government would be
formed under the treaty, and the Dali
could act as a check on its functions.
1t will take many months for the new
Irish constitution to be put into work
ing order; in the meantime, IL Is hoped,
b differences between the Sim Fein
leaders might be accomplished.
Some of Mr.. de Valera's most influ-
entail and valued friends outside the
Dali have seen him and urged the de-
STABILITY Of accepting the treaty. They
are said to rave come away convinced
that on the ground of principle he is
entirely uncompromising and will fight
the matter out, whatever the conse-
quences.
The country's opinion on acceptance
of the treaty is not in doubt even
the members of the Dali opposing the
treaty admit they could o carry
more than a very small proportion of
their constituents with them. Thus
far there has been no instance of any
public body adopting resolutions
against acceptance, although at most
Of the meetings there has beer a mi
nority holding that view.
A remarkable feature of the resolu-
tons favoring the treaty is the gen.
eral lack of enthusiasm for its terms.
1t is accepted mostly with an accom-
paniment Of criticism regarding its de-
~ficlencies, but the view that such as 1t
Is should be accepted is practically
universal.

Who Dance

There's a settlement In profit or loss, for
nearly every indulgence.
Sometimes the pay day is long deferred, and
in that case the settlement may bear compound
interest.
Often a payment In i'll health Is required for
the dance had with tea or coffee during earlier
years. Sometimes the collection comes in Sleep
lessness, sometimes in headaches, sometimes in
high blood pressure, or in nervous indigestion
sometimes in all these penalties.
Nerves won't always stand the whipping of
tea and coffees drug, caffeine.
If you've been dancing to tea or coffee's fd-
ding, why keep on till payment time comes? II
you're beginning to pay, now, why not cancel the
contract
There's an easy and pleasant way to avoid
tea and coffee's penalties, as thousands have found
who have changed to Postum. It is a delight
with any meal-rich, comforting and satisfying
and il never harms. Even the little children
can have a breakfast cup of Postum, with no fear
for what may happen to sensitive nerves.
Instead of paying penalties for your meal

natural health a full chance-and begin the new
arrangement today. Any grocer will sell you, or
any good restaurant will serve you Postum.

KILLINcER TO MINORS
Much Touted CoIleglsn EARNED Out

Glenn Killinger, highly touted col

the Yankees a number of major league
clubs were dickering for his services

Killinger received fancy sum for
signing. In addition his contract is
of such a nature that he Is certain
Of one years retention by the New

The greatest weakness Of Killinger
is at the bat. 1t doesn't seem as II
he would ever be abe to hit major

Killinger came to the Yankees

was ready for the majors 1t seems

body or was carried away by his great
interest in the youngster.
