prohibitions and that he should
strive for independence and self

On the other hand, normal

impaired health, bad digestion, eye

The most important glands in
this connection are the thyroid,
below and behind the Adams
Apple, the pituitary, situated at
the base of the skull, and the
thymus in the chest. Other glands

Parents who have striking be-

their children should bear the
possibility of gland trouble in

Sometimes it is quite simple to
find out which gland or glands is

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
-By Helen Rowland

NyEIERE are three kinds Of mar.
\ riages, as w. Il. George once
said happy marriages, unhappy
marriages, and those that are
merely uncomfortable.
The marriage problem would be
far simpler, il the world Were
made OF saints and sinners, In
stead OF just ha1f-sinners. 1t IL
easy to decide what to do with q
wife or a husband who is guilty OF
some big besetting sin such as
wife beating, husband shooting
hard drinking or unfaithfulness.
But what can you do with the
haIf.sinner, who just succeeds in
making life one long, drab, I'M
comfortable bore--like the dull
ache in a grumoiing tooth?
You know the ones I mean. The
man who acts as though nome
were a deaf and dumb asylum,
and never opens his mouth ex'
cent to ask when dinner will be
ready or to say Pass the muf-
fins"
The woman who appoints her.

one digs out her husbands most

est feelings ami never permits
him a private thought or opinion.
The human QUESTIONABLE.
The gentleman detective, who
suoops i'm the icebox, keeps tab on
the number OF eggs the COOK
= uses. and wants to know what
became of last nights leftover
potatoes.
The lady sleuth, who reads her
husbands letters, shifts his breath
and regards a pink peppermint
lozenge In his pocket as an evl'
dence Of crime.
The human fire-alarm, who
keeps his wife on the jump from
the moment the alarm-ClOck goes
off until the last radio goes TO
sleep.
The feminine nollusc, who lies
around like sacred cfoe0dlle
waiting TO be fed, clothed, deco
rated and amused and calmly lets
George do all the heavy pulling.
The sartorial Judge; who insists
on selecting his wife's hats,
censoring her evening gowns and
limiting her lip-rouge.
The ''quick.trigger" husband,
>who goes off like a gun at the
slightest ovocation. And the
storm.center wife, who deluges
her husband with tears and tam
tiums and stage scenes, just for
excitement.
The domestic wit, who turns
everything his wife says or does
into Joke; and the ''prompter'
who always interrupts her hus-
bands best stories with But, it
doesn't go that way, dear
The proWler who patters around
the house all night; the sleepy.
head who yawns through all her
evenings: the bathroom hog, the
'I-told-you.so' wife: the talking

These are the half-sinners who
turn marriage from a life-partner-
ship into q life-sentencei Most
marital love does not die sud-.

Why America Leads.
cHigh Point, N. C., Enterprise.

(High Point, N G. Enterprse)
 The American Government has always believed that public utilities should be owned by privates capital Its policy has always been to leave such service in the hands of private individuals, with the exception of the brief experiment with Gov ernment operation of the railroads during the war. That the Government is thoroughly mtted to this policy is evidenced by the haste with which the railroads returned to their owners after the war.
 Results of the policy of non-interference with public utilities evidence is wisdom. Sir Robert Donald, Chairman of Great Britain's Wireless Committee, in the London Daily Mail recently referred to the of the Western Union Telegraph Company. while other British critics official and editorial, have frankly praised Am erican private owned telegraph and cable sys- tems, and criticised and condemned the Govern the telephone and telegraph systems of Europe under Government control, render notorously bad service Americans who complain of the service at home should have the experience of depending upon the service abroad
 Private capital invested in public utilities is naturally more likely to give to the public good service than the Government would be- for it must get its profits from the public It. there tore assumes great initiative in extending the use oi US service by advertising and by increased enlclency As a result all forms of public utili- tles In the hands of private individuals in Am erlea are Tar more widely used in this country that abroad The day of censurng the cor poratlons in America has practically passed for the people are finding their service good Ilke- wise has passed the day when monopolies fx eAhorDltant prices, for they have found their proht Tn widening the scope of their service

Chicago Exults Over New York.
(New York World.)

The state of the people of sweltering
 places like New York, Philadelphia and
 Boston, all seaboard cities compared to
 that of Chicago is deserving of pity.
 The child of the ccngested districts of
 New York, if lucky, can stand on the
 hot pavements and have hose played
 him. The Chicago child of the tene-
 ments go to the lake shore almost
 anywhere and bathe in the open lake
 or the protected lagoons
 With these words of the Chicago Tribune many New York patriots will take issue they will point to Coney Island and our other beaches, our lower temperatures, Chicago's hot prairie winds, and But the comparison has a great deal of truth. Chicago is now utilizing nearly all her lake front She has long had the northern and Lincoln Park waterfront the southern and Jackson Park front; she has been rapidly filling in the great central till she has the immediate prospect of superb line of parks lagoons and drives all along the inland sea. Few other great cities in the world can match it. And New York? We have saved only the tiniest fragments of our East River front age; up to 72d Street we have handed the Hud- son ever entire to trade, and even above it have only lately begun to crowd back the railway track from the margin. Meanwhile we have so filled the waters around congested island with sewage that we have to ride to distant points to escape it.
 Chicago has her gunmen her Big Bill and her elections But she has her parks. along Lake Michigan she has built CT is build- ing along it her Field Columbian Museum Art Institute, Shedd Aquarium, Rssenwald Industrial Museum and other centers of education In some ways she can give lessons to her older sister New York

CHURCHES AND POLITICS.

Bishop Cannon of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South whose soul aches because of the Democratic nomination of Gov. Smith with his shameless political double dealing" ''his support of horrible vice-conditons and conscieneeless be- trayal," "his faithless immoral leadership" his alliance with "allied grafting groups of plunder and pilage, etc, etc, etc, asked if his 'conscience Democrats" who propose defeat Gov. Smith in the South but to remain right good Democrats all the time, would take Repub- lican money to use in their campaign "Of course,'' he replied. "I have never looked gift horse in the mouth'
 Bishop Cannon is much like the Anti-Saloon League with which he has worked so much He believes the end justiies the means. There has probably not been crookeder political organ- zation in the United States than the Anti-Saloon League One of it's leaders was sent to the pen for crooked politics and the Chicago Tribune, "America's greatest newspaper says Leader Me Bride, who succeeded Wayne Wheeler is a crook We know the organization worked hand-in glove with Senator Pepper in that notorious primary when he spent three times as much money to get the Republican nomination on a dry platform as Ware spent to get it on a wet platform and Ware refused his seat because he spent too much. We know. further that it has been ad- mitted that Senators and Representatives in Con gress have been in the pay of the Anti-Saloon League which confesses that it spent $65, ,OOO- 900 to put prohibition and keep it put over.

The precision with which the details of his plan set forth has induced the belief, ac- cording to Arthur Constantine, New York World correspondent in Mexico, that he had consulted with the Catholic herachy before making up his mind The circumstance that harmonious rela- tions existed between Gen. Obregon and his following and the Catholic element and the further fact that religious services were said by the Cura Huatabampo of Sonora at the request of Sonora Obregon before the burial of the states mans body further the belief that understand ing had been reached. according to Mr. Con stantine
