Atlas Is a Woman.

Employers are talking about the increased
productivity of labor as one of the hopeful
signs of the times. The hricklayer lays more
bricks an hour, the coal HEAVIER heaves more
coal, the shipping clerk drives more nails In
hard times, when two men are after one Job,
the competition speeds things up. Scientists
classify this as the instinct of f-preserva-
ton. In boom times, when there are more jobs
than job hunters, the average man does less
work. Like the elephant who stops the parade
unless he gets an occasional prod. It's curl
combination of psychology and biology
With exceptions it applies to all of US, whether
we work for wages, salaries or straight profits
Neck-and-neck with the increased productivity
of employees there's an increased productivity

On Getting An Eye Full.

We see curiosity at work now in London,
where people are paying SIS a seat for a
glimpse of the royal parade from buckingham
palace to Westminster Abbey, Feb. %, Prin-
cess Mary's wedding day. The same curiosity
once saved Napoleon's head. He was in Paris,
frowning anxiousIy at threatening revolution
airy murmurs. Five days were necessary to
get enough troops into town to check the up
rising. So Napoleon bought lot of gold leaf
and had workmen gid giant dome in the CEN
ter of Paris The populace became so interest
ed in watching the growth Of the gold marvel
and wondering why and wherefore that they
forgot the proposed revolt until Napoieon's
troops poured in from the distance.
A few years ago New Yorker bet SIS 900
even money that he could gather a crowd of
5000 in and around Times Square in 20 min
utes. All he did was walk out into the middle
OF the street, stop with an exclamation OF sur
prise and begin staring at the sky Nearby
rubber-necks also paused and looked upward,
curious to learn what aroused interest The
curiosity contagion spread. Police reserves
had TO be called out to break the traffic jam.
The New Yorker won his bet.
Great is the power of curiosity, mighty above
nearly all things. Your income will climb to
dizzy figures if you conceive new way
to turn curiosity into profits. Window decora-
tors in large cities get good salaries. Yet no
window display is attractive this one:
The window pane is painted black. In the CEN
ter dollar-size peep hole, powerful electric
light pouring through it, white arrow point
ing at the hole. Arrange such a mysterious
setting and the crowd will fight each other for
a chance to get to the hole and see what's in
side. At its best life is dull. Curiosity is the
search for something new and interesting

roar OF the enemys guns could be heard in
Paris. The reputation OF that loan, and that
is what declaration of perpetual inability to
pay signifies would greatly shock the people OF
the United States. not because OF the loss of the
money, but because OF the revelation of a low
standard Of governmental and popular fnteg-
rity. II France cannot keep its word regard
ing debt, or If 1t will not, then how much re-
lance can be placed its signatures to treat
les? Can it be trusted in anything when it APP
pears to 1t advantageous to break its promises?
But we have little patience with this plea on
the part of the French financier. France is a
great country. Il profited by the war. 1t
gained large accessions to fits territories Old
territories that it claimed were restored to it.
New extensions were given it in Africa. Let
no one think Of France a small section OF
Europe. II now has coal and other mineral
fields that it did not have before. Its domains
stretch from the Mediterranean far down into
Africa. They line up across the Pacific, in
which the French own many islands. They in
clude territory to the shores OF the Pacific in
China They enumerate possessions in South
America and a great tract in Africa. Indeed
territorially France is not far behind the United
States.
Great opportunities lie before France. It
is not small and weak country. 1t has much
from which to draw if it uses the right and
just methods. In half a century the value of
what it gained in war, il developed as it
should be, will make France an exceedingly
rich and prosperous country. France cannot
afford to have the future historian write that it,
with such a good prospect, claimed that it
could not meet an obligation incurred in it's
own salvation. The United States made no
gains in the 1t received no large Access
sions of territories. 1t did not impose back
breaking debt on conquered governments to
make up for the losses of the war. When the
French financier cries that the German govern
ment must be made to pay for the last penny
and Germany says that it cannot, does he pay
any attention to that plea? Is he willing to
wipe the whole slate clean? Not at all. One be-
Heves that the French people have regard for
their reputation, and that they will not give
serious heed to this man who is depicting them
without financial grasp foresight, and
without capacity and without resources. They
know better than that

New Border Alarm.

Another rebellion on the Mexican border
having been widely advertised threatened,
President Harding lets it be known that the
administration does not intend to permit its
Mexican policy to be dictated by more or less
interested propagandists who have been bonn
harding the executive with conflicting advices-
The president says there is no immediate pros
pect of resumption of official relations with
Mexico. That means that the government re-
fuses to be stampeded into recognition Of the
Oregon government at this time. Mischief
makers on both sides of the border apparently
making extraordinary efforts, judging from
the robust language ascribed to President
Harding in characterizing unauthorized spokes-
men for America as 1.-The greatest fakirs and
cheaters in the world" Now that attacks on
the administrations Mexican policy have been
opened in eastern papers it is pertinent to re-
mind these critics of their egregious failures in
premature condemnation of the conduct of
other foreign affairs. Remembering the proph-
ecies shiningly falsified by the event in
connection with the ornaments conference.
wouid it be too much to ask them to suspend
Judgment and to give the president and Sec
rotary Hughes fair measure of credit for
knowing what they are doing?
If a new Mexican revolt breaks out we are
told it will be Americas fault in having failed
to strengthen Obregon's hands by recognizing
his government. If President Obregon can
not stand on his own feet neither America nor
any other foreign support will, in the long run,
keep him in office. In fact, if there is any
thing that would tend to discredit him with
the Mexicans it would be the suspicion of de-
pendence on the United States in time OF trou-
BILE. The Mexican trouble is VIGOROUSLY beset
with difficulties arising from the pressure of
selfish interests. In the conflicting ciamor
raised by private groups it is safe to assume
that President Harding and Secretary Hughes,
TO whom the inside of insurgent propaganda is
probably better known than to anyone else,
are consulting the best interests of the nation
by adhering to the status quo for the time

Lettuce the Natural Food.

/ have concluded an extended
study and research into the Ques-
ton of so-called health foods by
the decision that it would be Of the
utmost benefit to the general health
if the consumption of lettuce the
year around were increased about
one thousand times the present con-
sumption. Let US enumerate the
reasons for eating lettuce every day
that lettuce can be had
~. Lettuce is one Of natures
toothbrushes.
(2). Lettuce is rich in vitamins
(3)- Lettuce is unquestionably
superior to any known medicine
which may be taken internally as
| a source of available iron for man,
although certain iron solutions adj
ministered by injection into the
blood or into the muscles may be
superior in certain illnesses.
"a. Lettuce serves as a physio-
| logical stimulus not alone to appe-
tite and digestion in the stomach
but to the more important process
of intestinal digestion, and may be
considered a preventive of coiitis.
cd Lettuce gives a wholesome
bulk in the residue in the intestine,
and this tends to counterfeit the
evils of ultra refined concentrated
| diet
TO-. Lettuce is among the low
est of all foods in fuel or nutritive
value from the caloric point of
view, yielding only 80 calories per
pound. (About equivalent to two
crackers or half a glass of milky
This feature should commend let
tuce to all overstocked persons.
CD. Lettuce freely used in the
diet opposes acidosis and tends to
keep the system normally alkaline.
The popular notion that lettuce
Is sedative or soporific is a myth
propagated by the romanticists VINO
used to write books on "dietitics" as
an avocation. Lettuce will no more
soothe the nervous system nor put
one asleep than will peanuts or
ham gravy.
OF course the less wild life con-
sumed with or on ones lettuce the
less nourishing the lettuce will be.
Vegetarians should scrutinize their
lettuce very carefully. It is i'm
portant that all lettuce be thorough
ly examined to discover unlimited
guests, and well washed and rinsed
in pure water to route any such
guests. Metchnikon insisted on
cooking even lettuce, but that
would be going to an unreasonable
extreme for the sake of a mere the
DRY.
A variety or kind of lettuce
called iceberg" is so uniformly

ters around the leg interfere with
circulation, or cause verbose veins
or falling arches or other foot or

tight they impede the return flow CT
blood from the extremities and tend
to produce varicosities or fuiness
and dilation of the veins or the
legs Women should wear side

Will a prescription number in

contain and what is it used for p
(Mrs. F. E. CO
Answer-Pharmacists generally
file in a record kept for the purpose
the prescriptions in consecutive
order as they are filled, numbering
them for their own individual con-
venience. Therefore no other phar-
macist would know what might be
called for by prescription 1875.
The person for whom the doctor
prescribed should receive the orig
inal prescription with the medicine
from the pharmacist, since it is he
patients property; though in some
states the law requires the pharma-
cists to keep the original prescrip-
ton on file. In any case it is al
most invariably an unwise policy
to use remedies that have been
prescribed for other persons.
