GRATIFYING PREDICTIONS

It Is to be assumed that quite a
few Of us read with pleasure the pre-
diction Of better business. It is graft
flying to note that recent predictions
to that effect come from heads in the
steel making industry, Messrs. Gary
and Schwab. This qualification Is
not dependent on holding stock In
the concerns represented by these
gentlemen. Rather it is that, when
the steel industry is active business
generally is good.
There may be, doubtless are, some
who will fiout the tidings, who will
snarl thereat. 20! yes. good business
for the Garys and the Schwabs, for
the bloated capitalists, for the trusts
that hold the world by the throat the
while they go through the pockets of
the poor, and all that. Silly when
one stops to think about it. Who
ever knew the industries of the coun-
try being busy in time of peace but
workmen were getting wages. buying
the products of other workers, also
getting wages and in turn buying
products of other workers? When
that sort of enterprise is afoot
shouldn't there be rejoicing among
the workers and those dependent on
them?
"The opportunities for securing
subsistence, health, happiness and
betterment are as good in the United
States as they are in any country on
earth and better than in MANY Of
them. Every advantage for honest
success to every person is offered
here. II there are failures anywhere.
fty."
The above is from what Judge
Gary said and there's lot of truth
in it. Any exceptions that may be
cited will only serve to prove the
rule. OF course we are not satisfied
with our opportunities but it's some-
thing to have opportunities. Ours
mean more general distribution OF
prosperity among the people than
may be found in any other country
on earth. Let's not forget that. Let's
not permit those from less fortunate
countries to come over here and vent
their spleens.

WHERE DELAYS ARE
ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS

Even If the hope of finding the
Cause Of cancer, as suggested by re-
cent, experiments, does not prove
vain, a cure for cancer is yet to be
found. The report that a way HIS
been discovered to eliminate from
radium the caustic ray, which is cap
able Of destroying healthy tissue. is
encouraging, as it should materially
increase radium's efficacy as a re-
medal agent.
Prompt action is yet that to which
the sufferer must look with greatest
confidence; the surgeons knife used
Immediately is generally a cure. Not
withstanding this Is a fact which
should by now. be known to all in
telligent people, 1t is said that less
than 20 per cent Of the cancer SUI
ferers have even fighting chance by
the time they get into the surgeons
hands. In this disease especially de-
lays are dangerous.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the
substitute for calomel-are a mild
but sure laxative. and their effect on
the liver is almost instantaneous.
These little olive-colored tablets are
the result OF DR.. Edwards determi-
nation not to treat liver and bowel
complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or Gallo
mel. They take hold of the trouble
and quickly correct it. Why cure
the liver at the expense of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with
the gums. So do strong liquids. It
is best not to take calomel. Let DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets take its
place.
Headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation
and disordered liver. Take DR..

Editorial Comment
Odd Fellows Home
cortland Express)


The Decision of the Grand Lodge
of Odd Fellows Of Maine to build in
Auburn 4 home which will be open to
members of the order comes as the
realization of an ambition that long
has been entertained by those who
have been active in the affairs of
this great fraternal organization. The
order owns a lot in Auburn which
is available for the site of the new
home and the grand body has in
it's treasury funds which will enable
it TO complete the building and main
tain it after it has been completed.
The contamination of the plan has
only awaited the decision of the
Grand Lodge for several years and
this. has now been made.
The order of Odd Fellows is. we
believe, the second oldest fraternal
organization in the State and also
one OF the largest. It's membership
includes citizens of all walks of life
and has included governors, members
of Congress and big business men as
we'll as those who would not claim
title to the rank of prominent citi-
zens." 1t is an exceedingly demo-
cratic organization, this order of Odd
Fellowship, and character is the only
requisite to membership.
Odd Fellowship is a brotherhood
so called. but this sometimes misused
term is taken literally by this
organization, and always has been.
Not only are Odd Fellows friends
with one another, but they regard
themselves as members Of one family
insofar as looking after and protect
ing one another are concerned.
