Just
Every
Day
Sense

CEMI-ANNUALLY the Woman's
~ Christian Temperance Union
in my state sends representatives
into the public schools who lee
ture on the evils of drink and
smoking. They offer prizes for
the best letters from the student
body on the dangers of nicotine.
Now, worthy as may be these
ladies and their cause, it must
occur to many parents that the
classroom is no place for them.
1t is a safe bet that four out
of five Of the fathers of these
children smoke. They see cigarets
by the million wherever they go.
They watch individuals whom
they admire and love smoking.
How futile, how hypocritical, then,
is this effort to have them express
sentiments they can not believe.
1t is a poor way to teach honor
for parents.
These boys and girls do not be-
lieve smoking is evil And so long
as such an overwhelming majority
Of decent men and women smoke,
why on earth should they be
taught such thing?
II Il
MY small daughter came home
I'VE not long since saying that
such a visitor had asked her to
sign a pledge that she never would
touch liquor or tobacco in any
form.
Tt should be the business of
every parent who desires his chill
dren to grow into honest and
courageous citizens to discourage
any such farcical morality as this.
Pledges are made only to be
broken. And their signers, it seems
to me, are moral towards who
dare not depend on their own
souls to keep them straight.
Moreover, we send our children
to school to procure an education.
And this taking over of the class
room by any organization for the
furthering of propaganda must
appeal to many in its true guiSe,
a mild form of racketeering.
And ardent and sincere as the
women may be who perpetrate it,
it certainty is no way to teach the
children to be either temperate or
honest.

Brighter Days!

You reed not punish sluggish system
with purgatives that do violence.
Just chew pleasant Cascaret before
bedtime. Next morning you'll BE-
new person. Candy Cascarets are
rlade from cascafa-which doctors
say actually strengthens the 6oaceI
muscles. So their action is always
beneficial. They clear up a stubborn,
bilious, headachy and constipated
condition every time. You awake
with coating gone from tongue; with
eyes frightened; breath sweetened;
appetite on edge. For a bright morn
ing, try a Cascaret tonight. Then
you'll know why 20 million boxes are
used every year.

UNWARRANTED
ACTION

Governor Hunt on the first day
he assumed office, demanded the
resignation of Adjutant General
POmeroy. He gave no reason for
this prompt demand. Colonel
Pomeroy was appointed for a six
year term as the law provides and
has about four years yet to serve.
No charges have been made against
him. During his term of office he
has devorced the National Guard
from poll ics and made a record of
which the people are justly proud.
By his executive ability and un-
remittlng energy he has built up a
splendid organization. Both officers
and men of the guard are loyal to
Colonel Pomeroy and resent this
unwarranted act of the governor.

That Word "Funnv"

The word funny" has a very
wide meaning in Scotland. It does
not merely signify amusing or en-
tertaining; it is more frequently
used to describe something inter
esting, unusual, or even alarming.
IN childhood to feel funny on a
Monday morning often meant a dav
off school; it was a vague form Of
illness that might be anything. and
was safer than complaining of any
thing local. He's a funny charae-
ter" does not imply that he is an
amusing person, but that he is rath-
er shady. Perhaps the funniest
use Of funny" was that of the old
lady who asked her little grand
son when he returned from a visit
to the neighboring gas works. "Was
it funny, Johnnie; was it funny?"

Spiders Wonderful Web

The first thing that a spider does
in weaving his web Is to lay the
foundation line. He attaches a line
at the point of departure and
crawIs along spinning it as he goes
and holding up the newly spun
thread by the claws of one of his
hind feet until it reaches a consid-
cradle length. He then draws in
the slack and makes it fast. The
spider then goes over the line sew
eral times to strengthen the foun-
dation, after which he spins the
other lines of the web. In the
case of lines of webs appearing
great distances apart the spider
emits a thread, which is cut by the
air current from its spinnerets IN
til it becomes entangled in the sur
rounding branches. This power Of
emitting silk some little distance
and allowing the wind to draw it
out is frequently exercised in the
early life Of many spiders.
