Odd Census Taking

Nopaltzin, chief Of the Chicthimec-
an tribe Of Indians that once inhabit-
ed the valley of Mexico. devised SIM
pie plan for taking the census Of his
subjects, Under his system no Gen.
sus-taker trod upon the newly washed
front porch Of the careful housewife,
leaving footprints in sticky clay. Nor
did the agent inquire into the private
matter Of the family head. Instead,
each subject placed a small stone for
each member of his family. Carriers
then collected the stones and hauled
them to an open field, where they
were counted and placed in heaps.
Twelve Of these heaps have been dis
covered by scientists and a count of
the stones indicates the Chicthfmecan
tribe contained 100000 members.

English Writer Has
Contempt for Laugh

Men and women laugh because they
are happy or amused. This, at least,
has been the universal theory; but a
London psychologist comes forward
with the self-contradictory theory that
the really happy man never laughs
and that the unhappy man cannot
laugh. According TO this authority,
the laugh is hideous grlmace, the
smile alone being beautiful and per-
Missile. 1t all depends upon who
does the laughing, whether 1t is beau
tiful or comparable to the snarl of
the hyena. Perhaps 1t is because we
are so used to laughter, thanks he
unto infinite wisdom. that these dicta
will strike most of us as the twadtile
of seeker for notoriety. 1t is true
that there are all sorts of laughter,
some of il unpleasant and some
aroused by sense of the ludicrous,
but in its more welcome sense the
word betokens harmless merriment
and reflection of the charm and
beauty of living.

Truthfulness in Child

A way to- promote virtue is to
give the child the reputation for hav-
ing it. We all show unmistakable
tendencies to live up to labels fas-
tened upon us; If the child gets the
idea that he is liar, he is likely to
tell lies. On the other hand H he
believes that he is truth-teller bis
habits will conform to that picture.
Better still, Of course, Is to let him
live in an atmosphere of truth. If a
child is brought up in home where
truth telling is regarded as sim
pie matter of course, he is likely to
develop into truth-teling child

Pity Dickens Couldn't
See Into the Future


Charles Dickens visited the United
States in 1912. OF Pennsylvania he
reported: eve have passed, both In
the mountains and elsewhere, a great
number of new settlements and de-
tached log houses. Their utterly for
lorn and miserable appearance baf-
fles all description. 1 have not seen
six cabins out Of 800 where the win
dows have been whole. Old hats, old
clothes, old boards, old fragments of
blanket and paper, are stuffed into
the broken glass; and their air is
misery and desolation. It pains the
eye to see the stumps of great trees
thickly strewn in every field of wheat,
and never to lose the eternal swamp
and dull morass, with hundreds Of
rotten trunks STEPPED in its unwhole-
some water.'
This region is now one of the gar
dens of America, made so by those
settlers too poor to buy glass, and
by their descendants.
OF an Ohio road he wrote: "It is
impossible to convey an adequate
idea to you Of the kind of road over
which we Travelled. I can only say
that 1t was, at the best, a track
through the wild forest and among
the swamps, boys and morasses of
the withered bush."

Merely War Slogan?

Myths attaching to vivid words
born of stressful moments are nu-
merous. The years of the World
war produced great many. Fact
became fiction and fiction fact In the

Kaiser William ever refer TO Eng

The Oldest Tune

The oldest tune in the world is said
to be "For he's o jolly good fellow"
There are those who declare that this
tune was brought back from the East
by the Crusaders. and that the an
Client Egyptians learned It from the
Babylonians. This Idea was appar-
emily first suggested by Chateau
BRAND. who heard Arabs singing what
he took to be the tune. The idea is
secuted. however, in authoritative
dictionaries of music. A more likely
circumstance connected with the tune
is that, put by the French to their
satirical song. "Malbrouk sen yart-e1

Npoleon could remember and, sing:

Prescription He Wrote
in 1892 is the Worlds
Most Popular Laxative

When I started to practice medi-
cine, back in 1875, the needs for q
laxative were not rs great a. they
are today. People lived normal,
quiet lives, ate plain, wholesome
food, and got plenty Of fresh air
and sunshine. But even that early
there were pills. tablets and salt
waters for the relief Of constipa-
ton, and artificial remedies made
from coal tar, which l did not be-
lieve were good for human beings
to put into their system. So i
wrote d prescription for q laxative
to prescribe to my patients.
The prescription for constipation
that / used early in my practice,
and which / put in drug stores In
1892 under the name OF DR.. Cald.
wells Syrup Pepsin. is a liquid
vegetable remedy, and ! have never
had reason to change it. 1 intended
il for women. children and elderly
people, and they need Just such q
mild, safe. gentle bowel stimulant
as Syrup Pepsin.
/ am gratified to say that under
successful management my prescrip-
tion has proven its worth and Il
now the largest selling liquid Taxa,
tive in the world. The fact that
millions OF bottles are used a year
proves that IL has the conf
dence Of people who needed il TO
get relief from headaches. bilious
ness. fiatulence. indigestion. loss Of
appetite and sleep, bad breath, dys-
pepsia, colds and fevers.

the saloon would ruin them world
without end.
Prohibition is an issue today IN
the coming presidential election. We
find at least one candidate who is
an open chsmpisn OF the saloon. That
man is Al Smith. Listen at this: In
talking to a reporter of the New
York Times, he is reported by that
paper in It's issue Of March Q. 1928. 10
have boldly said: Il would be glad to
90 down and help TO put over this
bill Ga beer bill introduced by a m
ator from New Jersey il that will
get US where we can put a foot or
the rail again and blow off the
froth."
Can we uphold a man like this for
the highest office in the United
States? mol Let us vote for prin-
ciple, for the mar regardless of poll
itics. Before prohibition came the
cause Of poverty in three out Of four
families was drunkenness, OF either
one or both parents. A count recent
~ was maze as 10 the cause OF poN-
erty in one thousand families receiv-
ing Christmas assistance during the
last holidays. and the. count only
showed one of every ten caused by
drunkenness. Bootleg liquor causes
poverty, misery and crime. But so
did whiskey sold in the saloon. And
there is not nearly so much Of il
as when we had the saloon. The more
whiskey and beer the less prosperity.
Every voter ought 70 fight any
man who has a wet plank in his plat
form. Let us vote for prohibition
which alone can bring US prosperity,
better homes and n greater nation.
The man who casts a vote for Al
Smith votes against all these and
takes a long step backward toward
the ~jungles or the past. We can not
afford to 20 backward-we must 60
forward. and a dry vote Is = forward
vote. Let every man vote the dry
ticket regardless OF party.
