He Should Have Known.

M. Coue knows suggestion Is a pow
erful thing, and that to use it indis-
criminately is dangerous. Here Is an
example OF the insldious way in which
1t can break up friendships:
An artist was showing n friend round
an amateur art exhibition. Arriving
In front of a large, gaudy canvas, the
artist waved his hand contemptuously
at II and said:
"There-that's pretty bad, don't you
think?"
at is" agreed his friend, who hoped
thus TO cover up his ignorance Of art.
awful! Why, It's a crime!"
ooh, is it - snarled the artist. LET
me tell you, my ignorant friend, that
that's the best picture in the exhibit
dion."
"What, that?" .iEi..
"Yes; | painted It"

give the answer. Still, Mr.. Edison isn't just like
this Greek sphinx. To be sure, he's been asking
puzzling questions of all who read, but instead of
destroying anybody he gives jobs to those who an
Gwer-prOvlded they are college graduates.
And Mr.. Edison and the sphinx are different in
another way; the sphinx asked this easy question::
what creature walks in the morning upon four
feet. at noon upon two and at evening ON three!
That's easy compared with some of Mr.. Edison's
questions in his second QUESTIONABLE. Here are
two questions, for example:
you have only so in the world, and are play
ing poker with a man you have never seen before.
On the first deal he holds a pat hand. You have
three Fights after the draw. There is so cents in
the pot. He bets a quarter. What are you going
to do, and why?"
"What Is spiegeleisen?
"Now, it's easy to give an exact answer to the
second, because the substance mentioned Is white
~cast-iron containing manganese. But what's the
answer to the first question? Is there any answer
that can be upheld as better than any other an.
swer? Probably four poker players would give as
many answers.
The New York Tribune answers the poker ques-
ton and says the reply us probably as good as
any to be found anywhere. 1t is one Of the few
questions to which expert knowledge was applied.
The answer represents the refined judgment Of the
foremost poker players Of the Tribune's staff.
Here's the answer:
IF we had only so in the world, Mr.. Edison
would never catch us in q poker game, even with
our own blood relatives. Assuming that the Ques-
ton is not to be answered this way, 1t seems obvi.
Gus that no poker player in. such a position should
pay a quarter to call a pat hand with only so cents
in the pot. We would remark casually Il believe
you, brother and wait to see what the next deal
would bring FORTH"
Well, the question now is how much do the
foremost poker players of the Tribune's staff know
about poker?
The Tribune, however, appears to be more sue
cessful In answering questions that can be an
swered. A good many inquisitive persons, includ-
ing a considerable part of its staff, devoted hours
of valuable time to answering the $50 questions
in the second questiOnnaire, though 1t is specif-
cally stated that no guarantee goes with the an
swers. Here are some of the other questions, to-.
gather with the Tribunes informative and other.

was a chance for me to last much
longer.
"My condition was truly, desperate
when | began taking Tanlac but to
everybody's amazement | was able
to get up out of bed and walk about
the house within ten days. Four bot
ties of the medicine built me up to

POSTOFFICE BELIEVES
IN SIGNS, 1T APPEARS

To more effectively call to the at
tention of the public Postal I'M
pprovement Week." which comes May
1924, an attractive sign on wood in
black and white has been erected in
front of the Americas postOffice at
the order of Postmaster General
Work. 1t was painted locally by Otis
Physioc. The sign bears the follow
ing inscription:
The postoffice the peoples agen-
cy. Over 100000, 900 sharehold-
ers. Not run for profit, but for
the benefit of mankind. Be a
stakeholder. See the postmaster.
DR.. Work"
The sign will remain standing only
a short time. 1t is intended to assist
IN the campaign to interest the pub
lie in better mailing of packages and
letters, in many respects. According
to the local postoffice workers, the
chief fault of Americas business men
IS that they do their mailing only
twice each day-noon and night-in-
stead of all along during the day and
thus giving the postoffice force a
chance to handle it without rushing.
