A UNIVERSAL LONGING

Many centuries ago a wise old Per-
sian poet expressed a universal feel
ing when he wrote:
All Lovel could thou and l with
Fate conspire
To grasp this sorry Scheme of
Things entire,
Would we not shatter it to bits
and then
Remold it nearer to the Hearts
Desire?
No doubt every generation since has
longed, like Omar, for the power to
remodel the world.
Today, most of us are very ure we
could build a better scheme of things
if we had the chance.
The business man, worried until his
temper and his hair are about at the
vanishing point, dreams of a world
where there are no labor troubles.
The head of the household signs for
a place where cooks, maids and laun-
dresses don't demand a limousine, half
the week off, and the salary of a vau-
deville queen.
With every newspapers columns
full of payroll robberies, hauls made
upon prominent cellars, murders, the
H. G. L., and what the politicians
would have us belieYe is politics, it's
no wonder the average citizen is apt
to conclude that the world is in need
Of q LITTLE Mi
But
Suppose this minute every activity
of life were set running in a smooth
groove that had no ups, downs, bumps
or surprises.
Suppose every cause of trouble were
eliminated from our scheme of things
and everything were suddenly as safe
sane, just, well-ordered and placid al
heart could desire.
How long could we stand it?
Could human nature get along OIL
such a monotonous predigested diet?
Wouldn't even a Socialist get dis
gusted with his Utopia and wish h
were back in the fight?
Our private opinion is that tn
average citizen, after about tire,
weeks, would be ready to swap hi
chances of everlasting salvation 70
the society of a few old-time gunner
William James, the famous psy
chologist and author, tells of an ex
p~erience of his that illustrates tn.

In an essay, What Makes Life Sig
nificant," he says:
"a few summers ago 1 spent
happy week at the famous Assembl,
Grounds on the borders of Chautau

"A Painful Disease of
Muscles and Joints"
Weekly Health Talk No. l6.
BY r. SchwinZer, d. c.

The dictionary gives the definition
of rheumatism as "a painful dis
ease of the muscles and joints" and
every sufferer from this disease
knows that these words express the
truth about it very conservatively.
The fact is that rheumatism, mild
or severe, is plain torture.

his experience seeking relief for

things and with benefit, but nothing
seemed to reach in and get at the
something which was creating the
disease until l tried chiropractic."
That exactly expresses the situation
of chiropractic with respect to
rheumatism. 1t is efficient in eradi-
eating this disease from the human
system because it removes the cause.
By chiropractic spinal adjustments,
the liver, the kidneys and other
eliminative organs are restored to
normal activity and the rheumatic
poisons are cleared from the sys

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
will Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to it's natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive
Whenever her hair took on that dull.
faded or streaked appearance this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth' S
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.

suBORDINATING MERIT

In connection with the story
that Senator Harry s. New, of
Indiana, who was defeated in the
primaries last year, is TO become
Postmaster-General at the eXpi-
ration of his term, with DIR.
Work, now head of the postof-
flee department, to be shifted to
the secretaryship of the Depart
ment of the Interior. it is init
mated that the present Postmas-
ter-General has not proved to be
much of a politician,
Although Senator New was not
sufficient politician to save him
self in the latest test before the
people, his long connection with
the Republican national commits
tee, of which he was chairman,
1907-S, is declared to have shown
him to have political organizing
ability that would be of value to
Mr.. Harding in the presidential
preference primary in the Hoos-
Ter state in 1924. The postmas-
tiers, it is pointed out, might give
him a strong foundation for a
political working organization.
Those who still hold to the
view that governmental depart
ments should be operated with
the single object of public service
will scarcely overlook that in al
the stories referred to nothing is
said of DIR. Works record from
the standpoint of direction of the
postoffice business. Nowhere
does one find statement from
an authoritative source that he
has been a failure from the view
point of public service. He is to
be kept in the cabinet, but in a
position having comparatively
small force. Only because he has
not proved a political driver of
the postal service. the story has
it, is he to be shifted.
But is not the fact that he has
not been playing politics in his
department to the extent desired
by his party managers the best
commentator that could be
given him to the public he is sup
posed to serve?

In this matter, as in all others af-

people are fair when the situation is
thoroughly understood.

on paralleling, as nearly as possible

my mind, this is neither fair to. ths

RICHMOND, VA, Feb. 16. That
Mrs Thelma Hamm Richardson was
in the home of Thomas Pollard, real
estate and insurance broker and scion
of one of Virginia's most prominent
families, on the night she was killed,
was testified today by Mrs. J. W.

man who is on trial in Hastings court
for the staying OF his pretty former
stenographer.
Mrs. Doan said she was near q
window OF her home. when she saw
Mrs. Richardson and Pollard pass
down the well-lightcd hallway OF the
Pollard home.N They then entered the
sitting room and sat down, she sala.
She said she did not know Mrs.
Richardson at that time, but later
identified her frcm pictures published
by the newspapers.
Witness insisted under cross-ex-
animation that there could lie no mis-
take in the identity of Mrs. Rich
ardson as she obtained a good view
OF ner.
Mrs. Doans' testimony was regard
ed by the prosecution as of much i'm
portance.
At Pollard's preliminary hearing
much stress was laid on the point
whether Mrs. Richardson was shot in
the house, or on the lawn, as con.
tended by the defense.
