HE'D PREACH BUT HE

Stephen Leacock, the celebrated
Canadian humorist, was Unexpectedly
called upon to speak at banquet In
Montreal few years ago. 1t was a
dignified occasion, at which over two
hundred prominent educators and
clergymen were gathered. The regu--
lar speakers had delivered polished
orations- long and learned.
Not so Mr.. Leacock.
He got up slowly, glanced round
the room as if seeking inspiration,
and suddenly exclaimed.

men in all Canada. Then he went on:

told $50 Detroit coal exchange men,
bers here last night that "all local re-
ouirements for coal including those

Neither the federal government

mines" Potter told his hearers.
Meanwhile Detroit's fighting multi

Yesterday declared himself as adopt

Henry Ford last Friday IN his shut

"The city of Detroit is facing one

before we will purchase high priced

FLAPPER AGE IS DYING

New York, Aug. 30.-(United
Press .-Grandma is going to grow

some. nL,
Women are the chameleons the hu-
man race. Men have looked nKe
wholesale job-lots since the days
when they left off white wigs and
baby blue silk breeches. But women
are the privileged sex who are en-
titled to change their mode OF dress
ing as often as they change their
minds. r
This Fall will mark the finish OF
the Flapper era We will pass from a
kittenish age where women Of ma
turity pranced out in swaddiing
clothes int, an age of dignity and
poise. The pparent age Of the aver
age Amer n woman will raise from
a battling average of eighteen years
TO one of twenty-five. Baby stares
will no longer hob-nob with galoshes.

Like Haleys comet the flapper will
pass to a beyond that few of US will

ever be intimately engaged in flap
ping again. The flapper may return
but when she does we will have reach

But "Hush, little flapper, don't you
cry,
You'll be lady bye and bye"
And it certainly will be a grand
and glorious feeling" to grow up
again, into tall, willowy ladies with
high heels and dignity. AS for flap
ping, who says we CANT flap in the
long skirts? Just watch US. They
can't take the flap out of flapper.
Cleopatra, Helen of Troy and few

WHY ARE SOME WOMEN
POPULAR

happy, beloved and successful, while
others drag out negative existence,
of no use to themselves or anyone
else? Except in a few cases the
answer is to be found in state of
freedom from the troubles known as
female" The we'll woman radiates
cheerfulness and serenity, while the
ailing one repels because of her lack
of these qualities. 1t is not necessary,
however, to harbor aches and pains,
and the "blues" that make one a de-
triment to society. The use of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has brought relief to such women, and
given them a new lease on life.
