In New Texas Town

Fire! Fire. shrieked terrified
women as huge clouds of smoke
poured out of q window in the Los
Angeles hotel, LaSalle county,

the building was crowded consider
ably the rush nearly ended in a
stampede. There was crowd of
some 400 people in front of the
hotel listening to one of j. Fl. Kirk

DON'T BREAK ON THE HOME
STRETCH

As one among thousands of Maine
people we hope to see the s1st Leg
is!ature come to a fitting close.
The needs of the State demand
that this should be done. The
really excellent efforts already made
by this Legislature deserve this full
fillmcnt.
In other words, in the closing
hours don't break on the home
stretch.
This is written because at the
hour of writing there is much con-
fusion noticeable among the law
makers. Developments the past two
DAYS have brought disappointments
to some. In the haste of clearing
I'm some matters have gone by the
board in a more exasperating man.

CURED in time of less hurried effort.
This has not been a. machine
LEGISLATURE and so in confusion does
not operate as smoothly as though
it were. One way of looking at it
this is to its credit. But when it
has finally adjourned and gone
home it's handiwork will remain. 1t
will then look vastly different to
some than it may right now.
And the State is interested, Wit
ally SO, that it shall look right!
We are offering no other advice.
We would not be so prcsumptuous
at this time as to offer other sug-
cestion than: keep cool; there is
another day coming. "Nor would we
be understood as doubling that by
the time this is read there will be
much less combustion than existed

of the Maine people, one OF whose
characteristics is observation-disclosures

THE WOMAN POWER OF
AMERICA

is we'll illustrated by the thousands
of women who are entering every
profession, almost every line of BUSH
ness and politics as well. They are
bound to make good, and there is no
question but what health is their
greatest asset. Many women, how
ever, develop weak, nervous condi-
tons and cannot stand the strain Of
q professional or buciness life. Such
women should remember when beset
with headaches, backache, nervous
ness, irritability or any ailment
peculiar to their sex that the great
est of all remedies for such conditions
is Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. For nearly fifty years
this old fashioned root and herb
medicine has been restoring the
women of America to health and
strength. 1t holds the remarkable
record of helping SO out of every 100
women who try it.-Adv.

CHANGES IN VETERANS
BUREAU

The friends of any veteran whose
case has been taken up by con-
gresham and brought to the atten-
tion of the Veterans Bureau for spe-
cial action very properly feel CRATE
full for the effort. They do not stop
to think that in SO doing they may
have DELAYED the consideration Of a
more deserving case, but of course
this is inevitable, assuming the Bu-
leau has the cases properly classlf1cd
as 70 the order in which they should
be taken up.
General Hines, the national direc-
tor of the Bureau. has expressed the
wish that members of Congress re-
1rain from asking that special atten-
tion he given to cases. What i'm
preston his wish will have /on the
congressman remains to be seen, but
the reasons he has for the change are
excellent, provided the Bureau gets
onto its Job. This General Hines
proposes to have done.
There arc about $500 cases await
ing investigation by the Bureau and
the director has decided to have
these classified according to diseases
on basis of merit, and adj new cases
are to be received into these classi-
fca'ions. The first arc emergency
cases, wherein the need of medical
treatment is imperative. and these
will be given preferment. The Sec
ond are routine cases in some of
which no action is necessary, and the
third, cases OF men involving supple
mental action, like transfer to
another institution, additional COM
pensation, etc. Orders covering this
program are being issued, the effect
OF which will be, it is believed. to
save at least IS per cent of the time
of the medical officers which hitherto
has been taken up in trying to eX-
pedite action on special cases.

WORDS, MASTERS
OF OUR ACTIONS
Importance Of Speech Declared To
Be As Great As That Of Ideas

Words are women, deeds are men,"
wrote George Herbert in the early
sixteen hundreds. ACTIONS speak
louder than words" runs an old
proverb. Democritus said, Words
arc but the shadows of actions"
These are only half truths, however.
They might just as well be reversed.
There can be no action without
thought behind it. But you can't
voice thought without words.
A dictionary should be daily COM
panion. Within reach every hour OF
