TESS SAYS IT AGAIN

It is increasingly evident that Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio has become the official spokesman of the Coolidge administration so far as political propaganda is concern cd. The White House spokesman, {" of recent memory, is no more; but Senator Tess can be relied upon to make an announcement whenever a reporter is within earshot.
 Regularly, at least once a week, the Fessian announcements have come over the press wires. All of them read about the same: That Republicans should not be frighten- ed over the "third-term bugaboo," :" that the fear about a third term is an obsolete revival of an earlier day when the nation feared that pres ident, if ~ekcted too frequently, might turn into a king; that Cool idge is a fine man generally, and that he should be re-nominated and reelected.
 The first time he said it the in- formation was news. It was hard to understand how he gets the same thing across so frequently. If peo- pie read this often enough they will begin believing it.

Sciatic-Neuritis

The sciatic nerve, situated at tho back of the hip joint is frequently the subject of. Neuritis. giving rise to the painful disease Sciatica. The symptoms are intense pains which shoot down the thigh to the foot. often aggravated by walking, and with painful points along the course of the nerve. very tender to the touch.
 The trouble is a very obstinate one and does not readily respond to ordinary treatment. It takes more than the usual pain sedative even to alleviate the pain. The best way to get relief from the persistent nerve racking pains of Neuritis is to get bottle of Allenrhu Special Formula No. 2, which comes in capsule form. Take them as directed and in about 24 hours you should be able to no- tice that they have considerably re- duced. if not almost banished, all pain and soreness. Continue faith fully and in a reasonable time you should be able to work and rest in comfort once again. Fair Drug Dept. keeps Allenrhu Special For mula No. in stock all the time and sells lots of it.

1 turally, we sympathize with the l teacher; and also quite a bit with the
 mother of the lad. who is laid up l in the hospital with broken leg. Perhaps you read the story, At any rate, the facts will bear repeat ing. 4 lad came home and told his mother that his teacher had whack- ed him on the head. which accoun- ted for the large bump he had there. The mother. seizing an umbrella, went to the school, met the teach CT on the sidewalk. and tried to break the umbrella on her pretty bobbed dome. At the sixth blow the mother slipped and fell. breaking a leg. Later it was learned from the boy that the teacher had not caused the abrasion on his head, but that he received 1t while fighting with another boy.
 Here is case in which an inno- cent teacher was badly beaten up. a mother is in hospital with a fractured limb, and all because boy told lie.
 Children need correction at times, especially youngsters who tell false hoods. Teachers nowadays are in a peculiar predicament Many of them realize that some of their charges need what we might politely term correctional treatment,' but fear to give proper attention because of the possible attitude of parents. The re- suit is that the bad eggs in every school too frequently so unpunished there and also don't seem to gain the correctional treatment" at home.

According to the Rev. John Roach Straton, fundamentalist clergyman in New York. a law is so sacred that it should never be broken even to save the lives of ones family.
 This is not a fundamental doc Urine of humanity. It Is the doc urine of the Rev. Mir. Straton, fun damentalist.
 The law of Indiana forbids the use of liquor for medicinal purposes. Attorney General Gilliom of that state wrote a letter stating that both he and Governor Jackson had vio- lated the Indiana law in the last IS months to save members of their families from death after physicians had prescribed whiskey.
 "They should have permitted
 the members of their families
 to die and have died themselves
 rather than violate their oaths
 of office. An officer of the law
 swears to support the law. and
 his family interests should not
 cut the slightest figure once he
 has taken the oath.'
 That is what the Rev. Mir Strat- on said about 1t, as quoted in the papers.
 Thus We see how fanatical a man can get. Since when was law above the saving of human life? The framers of the Indiana law were stupid human beings who passed a stupid law, one which seeks to take out of the hands of medical science the right to prescribe medicine for that is what whiskey becomes under such circumstances-in cases of life and death.
 The fundamentalist leader talks bravely; but somehow we cannot help asking what he would do if one of his family were mortally ill while happening to be in Indiana, and a physician, in order to save his or her life. prescribed whiskey.
 Candidly, we think he should change his tune, law or no law.
