Truth is mighty. Yes, indeed
mighty scarce.
You can tell an editor,
Cause he's so sedately dressed,
You can tell a sports scribe,
By the way he puffs his chest
You can tell reporter,
By his timidness and such;
You can tell a columnist--
BUT you can not tell him much.

BAD WATER AND GOOD

The excuse generally offered for the
greater addiction to liquors in the
countries OF Europe has to this writer
been more lightly taken than it will
from now on, with notable an author
ity as DR.. VIM. ]. Mayo who says "In
the older countries of Europe water is
SO unsafe that the prudent traveller
drinks the native wine and beer as be-
ing the lesser OF the two evils. These
countries cannot hope to have prohi-
bitlon until their sources OF water sup
ply are above reproach.' He further
says that with the adequate supply of
pure water that we have in the US.
there exists no reason for prohibition
to leave this land.

THE BENEFACTOR

The donor Eustis is a bachelor aged
Is years. The accumulation of a for
tune by one with the handicap he has
had is a story Of interest His inborn
ambition and energy is the. solution Of
it all as his father was but a humble
blacksmith without any thought for
his sons future until at the age of
fifteen when stricken with the disease
that made him hopeless cripple an
education was considered. From this
the boy was master of his own fate,
getting through college, taking law
course, buying corner lots as real es-
tate investments which made him his
first money and as captain OF his soul
he grew larger minded, warmer heart
ed and loved by his associates. A love
for animals and for children have been
conspicuous traits, and now without
connecting his name in any way with
his gift he creates the Minnesota
Home and Hospital for Crippled Chill
dren, open to all without regard to
race or creed or color.
