Nevertheless the aggregate number of

WOMEN need SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store,
may be just the remedy needed to over
come such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle
Immediately from any drug store.
However, If you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention this paper.

Magazine Editor Head of Wisconsin u

Election Of Glenn Frank, editor Of
the Century Magazine, for president Of
the University of Wisconsin by the
board Of regents came after a nation
wide search for man young in years
but mature in experience and with
a definite policy. Franks belief that
church and schools and state should
work together to bring about greater
benefits for the commonwealth and
the fact that his age, thirty-eight,
gives him many years In which to de-
velop Wisconsin, convinced the re-
gents that he was the man for the
post. Wisconsin for many years has
lacked coordination between its agri-
cultural schools, Its commerce courses
and the letters and science college.
Mr.. Frank has accepted the posi-
ton. He was born in Queen City, Mo-,
October 1, 1887, and received his bach
elor of arts degree from Northwestern
university in 1912 and doctors degree
from Lincoln Memorial university in

the usefulness Of cottonseed oil by

deeply.

And as always when we stand at the
end of thing, all sorts of thoughts

remembrances, all sorts of pictures.
In the case of Queen Alexandra the
pictures are nearly all gay, colored
brilliant, beautiful, pervaded with sun
shine. That is the impression ] have
in looking back to her--sunshine.
Yet England is a cloudy country.
The sun does not lavish much Of its
glory over that beloved island.
Whence, then, that sensation of sun
shine?

is her smile. Yes-her smile!
What a smile she had! Welcoming,

sometimes just a little ironical but
so slightly that it added rather than
took anything away from its charm.
She smiled upon her equals, upon
the poor and humble, upon all chill.

Life's Hurdles
BY L. E. Bisch

Why Is gossip forever changing?
Why is 1t impossible for gossip to
tell the truth?
Everybody knows that gossip, car
ried by word of mouth from one person
to another, soon metamorphoses !. it
self so markedly that the original BIT
of news that started the talk develops
into something quite alien to its par.
ent.
The beginning of gossip, its start,
is one thing-the end something en-
tirely different!
There is no end 10 gossip, in fact.
One never can foretell what the end
will be.
And that's where the mischief lies.
One cannot deny that among per-
sons who are in the habit of gossipins
there is often a deliberate and pur-
poseful design to distort the news they
impart to others.
They calmly give the essentials a
plausible twist, which is readily ac-
ceptable, but which, however, is new
ertheless a lie.
On the other hand, there's a Curl
Gus psychological principle involved in
gossip that makes it impossible for
gossip ever to tell the truth, despite
the very best of Intentions of those
who indulge in it.
What 1 refer to is the principle
called Retrospective classification OF
Memory"
1t is absolutely impossible for an
individual to repeat anything he hears
word for word.
1t is likewise impossible for him to
remember, with absolute exactitude,
the gist or essence OF a conversation.
The reason is that nobodys mem
DRY is perfect.
Nobody's recollection is infallible
Now then, wnen a piece Of news is
repeated the conscious mind fills in
the memory gaps in order to make a
logical story.
The larger the number Of items that
have faded from memory, the greater
becomes the ingenu. ~ of tine mind in
substituting anu filling in.
The poorer tine memory, the greater
the distortion of original fact.
We try to be logical, often to be
truthful, but We cannot.
The result is therefore a pretty
story that never existed in fact--a
piece Of gossip that is far from the
truth.

Democracy of Charity
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

One of the most democratic things
in the world is charity. The intellect
is mainly aristocratic; the heart is
essentially democratic.
The mind tends to perceive human
weaknesses; the heart to see human
needs.
The mind puts individuals into
classes, categories and groups. 1t
makes obeisance before those who are
superior or distinguished.
The heart, answering the call Of
need, knows neither caste nor man
made boundary lines.
Christmas holiday time-the season
of the heart, the occasion Of universal
charity-is the supreme democratic
celebration of the year.
True democracy begins with seeing
from the angle of the other man. 1t
is essentially a willingness that others
should enjoy the same liberties and
opportunities that you desire.
One side of the democratic atti-
tude toward government is that no
man desires to be slave. The equally
important reverse side is that no
man desires to be king.
To have q true democracy the citi-
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-28

Gems must be able to get out of them
selves.
The Christmas season is the spir-
itual defense test of the democratic
idea.
1t is the time when people practice
getting out of themselves and thinking
Of others.
Both democracy and charity wed the
everyday to the ideal.
Democracy unites the material and
age-old problems Of government with
the freeing ideal Of individual par
ticipation.
Charity brings the abstract and
idealistic doctrine of brotherhood, love
and kindness to the giving of everyday
necessities to those who need them.
The Christmas season is a more
democratic celebration than even our
observance of the Fourth of July. For
then we celebrate the democracy Of
a particular people, while at the
Christmas season we celebrate the
feeling of the universal brotherhood
of man, which is the essence of true
democracy.

What to Read

SHOW me a family Of readers"
Napoleon is reported to have said,
"and / will show yVs the rulers Of

What u man reads has such large

books a great man has read and

Comedy and Tragedy

A the most famous comic writer of all time is being
~ represented this season in America by the Lyss-

the largest comic outlook plays much less part

In the case of Aristophanes in that of Moliere,
the music of the has much to do with the result
that translation give but faint idea of the orig
ina In prose the top places in comic characters go east
ly to Don Quixote and Fastaff.
The attempt to put Don Quixote the stage has al
ways failed probably because of the difficulty of max
ing good play out of the novel; The part itself is much
easier to play than Falstaff
Falstaff represents the real reason that comic char
acters either written acted seldom reach the heights
of tragic characters Humor is anarchy Fastaff makes
joke of the whole moral world. Law does not exist
for him.
Tragedy, the other hand, does homage to our
moral natures. 1t is the working out of law Ardent
assertion of beauty and goodness and herosm peases
and stimulates natures To dismiss the whole moral
world with laugh, like Fastaff, even to throw
