Are Fish


This sounds like a foolish ques-
tio.l or a fish story, but there Is
thought behind 1t. Even if we
don't know whether fish are happy
or not, one thing is certain-they
are healthy.
And why? Because from the
food they eat (algae, sea weed and
deposits of the seal they absorb
sufficient vitamins to build up
abundant energy.
Remember the healthy fish, then
especially the cod fish. when you
are run down, plagued with a deep
seated cough or cold-nervous and
sleepless.
Remember that cod liver oil ex-
tractives, from which HYPO-COD
is made, are rich in these vitamins
that build up the energy and the
rich, pure, vitalized blood that re-
sists the daily attacks of flu, grippe
and pneumonia germs.
HYPO-COD contains hypophos-
phites and iron, recommended for
years by physicians as most eff
fective in enriching the blood and
nerve cells. 1t also contains pleas

Delicious Hun,Or Of
Nye Fooled English

On the seventy-fifth anniversary Of
Bill Nye's birth, tablet, memorial
window and a granite monument were
unveiled at Fletcher, near Asheville,
showing his quaint humor and lovable
personality have not been forgotten.
At one time he served as postmas-
ter at Laramie, Wyo., an appointment
which incidentally brought forth his
famous letter addressed to President
Arthur and containing his resignation
In the letter he directed the Presi
dent where to find everything, explain
ing that the postal cards he had read
were carefully pigeonholed apart from
the unread ones. He continued "If
Deacon Hayford does not pay up his
box rent you might as well put his let
ters in the general delivery. and when
Bob Head gets drunk and insists on a
letter from one Of his wives every
day in the week, you can salute him
through the box delivery window with
an old Queen Anne tomahawk that
you will find near the Etruscan water
pail"
SO tickled were the officials at
Washington with this letter that they
published it far and wide. To Nye's
huge delight an English paper edi-
torially commented In shocked amaze
ment on the ways Of American post
masters.

lead the prayer meeting.
As he could neither read nor write,
the request might easily have daunted
him had he been less courageous
man. But Uncle Lige was not one to
be daunted
Very solemnly he rose, and drawing
his unusually tall form to It's greatest
height, he said:

After a silence, broken only by an
occasional litter, someone said, There
aren't as many as that"
"Sing as many as there be, then !"

about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly. ).

Merrily intolerance goes it's shad-
owed, sinking way, leering from be-
hind pillars, smirking from dark al
leys-having a ghoulishly good time
generally, at the expense of folks who
would be decent and clean minded if
they could get the chance.
If there is growth of pruriency-
and it is far from proven-the pro-
fessional dealers in moral purity must
shoulder most of the blame.
1t is perversity of human nature,
well known, that "verboten" signs get
kicked over much more frequently
than those signs which proclaim the
right of free and untrammeled entry.
And the paths which are intended to
be blocked by the "verboten" signs
usually are among our most worn
thoroughfares.
Just what to do about control of
public morals is, with many people,
a moot question. But that bigotry
is on the gain is not moot question
and much is the evidence thereof.
The play "Desire Under the Elms, :"
which ran for months in New York,
has been stopped by the cops in Los
Angeles, which, unless memory is
tricky, was one of the first American
cities to employ women cops to patrol
the twilight zone in search of moral
delinquency.
The O'Neill play ran for a week in
Los Angeles before the cops found out
that it was indecent. No doubt the
police waited until they had all seen
the play before they closed it to
others.
In recent annual report, the head
of the women's bureau of the Wash
ington, D. c., police force proclaimed
that many motion picture films had
been censored and many portions de-
leted and that there had been quite
a little of that sort of moral suzer-
ainty in the nations capital. The
report expressed regret that the law
didn't permit more regulation"
though it is doubtful if the law really
permitted as much as was done.
Another case is that of the Countess
of Catcart, made the victim of pages
or suggestive reading in the newspa-
pers because of purely personal
equation. And cabinet member
ruled that she could not be admitted
to the country! That he later backed
down didn't make his original action
any less foolish.
1t will perhaps grieve the moguls of
the morals guarding force to be call
ed bigots, but they are nothing less.
They are rather more than less.
And what is more important is the
fact that the more the bigots hound
the American people the more vigor-
ously will the American people make
known their resentment at such half
wit monkey business.
Among the most potent forces max
ing for disregard of old codes today
are the prurient fools who seek tc
make even more restricting and bind
ing the blue laws and the blue tradi-
tions Of an older and different day.
OF course, after decent, self-respect-
ing, normal men and women have
stood about so much of this exempli-
cation of pathological condition they
will sicken at the whole mess and kick
it into the rivers and oceans for pure
ly sanitary reasons.
