the handicap which the accusation OF
internationalism has meant to their
party, and are going to get back to
first principles. 1t is too early OF
course, to predict as yet Just how far
this movement will go, but it is one
of the interesting current develop
ments in American politics, and may
have far-reaching effects. Reports
coming from the West and Middle
West are to the effect that the people
in those important sections of the
country are becoming heartily tired of
the emphasis placed on European pol,

the Eastern press, and it may be that
Democratic leaders, some of them at
least, are awakening to this situa--

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
BY H. IRVING KING
COMPANY ON MONDAY

IF YOU have company on Monday
L you will have company every day
during the week. AS perhaps you
know, for this superstition is general
throughout the United States. 1t
arises from that impulse in man, as
old as the race itself, to "seek for a
sign" at the beginning of any new en-
terprise, or the beginning of a new
epoch or specified division of time; to
pierce the veil through which we may
not see" The savage seeks for a
sign from his medicine man before
setting out on the warpath, and for
this, when the Grecian fleet lay be-
Gained at Aulis ready to sail for the
plains of Troy, did Iphigenia see
around her the "stern black-bearded
kings, waiting to see her die" And
the Roman AugurS sought not only for
a sign when the eagles marched to
Rimini" but at stated intervals fore
cast the welfare of the Roman people.
A new enterprise, new week, must
have sign at its commencement.
Though Sunday is really the first day
Of the week in practice we regard Mon
day as the weeks beginning; and
something innate In us makes us re-
gard happening at the beginning of
anything as a prognostic. If you have
company on Monday it is "a sign" that
you will have company every day of
the week.
In some sections of the country peo-
pie say that if you have company on
Sunday-not Monday-you will have
company the rest of the week. These
people might be called the "strict con-
structionists."

party and former chairman of the
War Industries Board, said, among
other things, in discussing France,
Germany and Poland:
at seems to me that no matter
what composition we make of debts
and reparations they will be of no
avail until those three nations come
to some permanent agreement that
will bring about and continue peace
in Europe. AS a matter of fact, this
peace lies in the hollow of the hand of
France. 1t is for her to say if peace
and happiness shall reign over Eu-
rope. 1t would be unwise for US to
submit to any change in the debts and
Preparations until that is done.
"Many people ask for cancella-
ton of debts, but they cannot be can
celed. If we forgive the money that
is owed us, the American taxpayer,
manufacturer, laborer and farmer
must pay it,. because the receipts
from the war debts have become a
part of our budget and if they are
not paid by others they must be paid
by US"

NATIONAL AFFAIRS
By FRANK P. LITSCHERT

Statements given out during recent
weeks by leading Democrats to the
effect that they do not favor the So
called debt cancellation scheme and
believe that it would work hardship
on the American people, are causing
many Washington politicians to won
der whether a change is not coming
over the policy of the Democratic
party with regard to our foreign af-
fairs.
Since the historic fight over the
League of Nations in the United
States Senate more than decade ago,
fight which resulted in the defeat
of the internationalists, the Demo-
cratic party has carried political
handicap in it's adherence to the
League of Nations program. This has
led a great many Americans to be-
lieve that the party is committed to
internationalism in various forms and
has caused it to suffer greatly at the
polls. For every time the American
people have had a chance to register
their opinion on internationalism, it
has been a verdict decidedly in the
negative.
Several weeks ago cambridge Col
by, one of the leaders in the Wilson
administration, came outunquaiifedly

lions of their debts at the expen.e OF

once started toward him. You see the
hunter thought that perhaps if he Of
fered Farmer Browns boy money he
would allow him to hunt on Farmer
Browns land. He knew that that was
where Bob White and all his family
had flown to. When he reached the
fence he saw the little Bob White in
the hands of Farmer Browns boy.
"Hellow exclaimed the hunter, In
surprise. II guess that's my bird!"
II guess it's nothing of the sort !"
retorted Farmer Browns boy.
ooh, yes it is" replied the hunter.
II shot it little while ago. but it
got away from me. I'll thank you to
hand it over to me, young man."

piled Farmer Browns boy. ut may be

But 1t isn't yours; it's mine. l found
it on our land and it belongs to me If
it belongs to any one"
Now the hunter was tempted to
reply sharply but remembering
that he wanted to get this boys per-
mission to hunt on Farmer Browns
land he bit the angry reply off short
and said instead, "Why don't you
wiring its neck? If you'll get your IA
ther to let me shoot on your land I'll
kill another for you and then you will
have fine dinner"
Farmer Browns boy grew red in the
face. Don't you dare put your foot
on this side of the fence" he cried.
I'd have you to know that these Bob
Whites are my very best friends.
They've worked for me all summer
long, and do you suppose I'm going to
let any harm come to them now II
can help it? Not much! Look how
this poor little thing is suffering. The
law lets you hunt them, but it's a
bad law. If they did any harm it
would be different. But instead of do
ing harm they work for me all summer
long and then when the crops which
they have helped us save are har-
vested we turn around and allow them
to be shot! But they can't be shot
on this land and the sooner you get
away the better I'll like it."
Instead of getting angry the hun
ter laughed good naturedly. "All right,
I'll keep off your land, sonny" said
he. "But you needn't get so excited.
They're only birds and were made to
be shot"
mo more than you were" retorted
Farmer Browns Boy. "And they've
got feelings just as you have. This
poor little thing is trembling like a
leaf in my hand. I'm not going to
wiring its neck. I'm going to try to
cure it." With this Farmer Browns
boy turned his back on the hunter
and started for home. And the poor
little Bob White, not understanding,
had no more hope than before.

Prosperity appears to be smiling on

Of white fox furs.
Their income is no more remark

Your Health
and Diet
By DR.. Logan Clendening

BY Ur. Logan Clendenlng
General bodily conditions un-
douhtedly have something to do
with the cauSation of acne.
For the patients sake, how
ever, it should be remembered
that this idea can be much
exaggerated. When a severe
case is seen people say-"My
blood must be in an awful con-
dition," or Goodness! that fel-
low has allowed himself to get
terribly run down." or HE
must lead a very dissipated
life"
Not q Blood Disease
The fact is the disease has
nothing to do with blood dis
ease in any acceptation of that
term. (Diabetics some times
have it, but diabetes is rot a
disase of the blood, strictly
speakingD And furthermore
the acne patient probably eats
much more abStemiouSly and
pays better attention to the
condition Of the bowels than
three-quarters Of his critics.
He has to in order to keep
the skin condition within
bounds. Most patients have
found that out. If they eat a
meal or two of rich foods, or
indulge in alcoholic excess, the
skin always shows it. And to
that extent general measures Of
systemic treatment are helpful.
The, diet should avoid sweets,
desserts and pastries. Also irri-
tants and condiments, such as
alcohol, chocolate, Spiced foods,
and rich meats. Vegetables and
fruits and bulky foods should
form the staple of the diet, be-
cause these also tend to keep
the bowels open.
Goods That Are Taboo
Foods not allowed are: Ice
cream sodas, candy, rich gravies
and pastries.
Foods to be avoided are:
StarcheS, such as potatoes, spa
ghetti, noodles and white bread.
Vegetables recommended are:
Eggplant (Stewed or grilled), Gu
cumber (baked), brussels
sprouts, vegetable marrow, car
rots (young), dandelion greens,
Swiss chard, onions (boiled),
mushrooms, parsnipS, tomatoes.
spinach, artichokeS. asparagus.
broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower,
kolrabi, oyster plant, pumpkins,
radiSheS, rhubarb, turnips,
beans, beets, celery, crosses, en-
dive, green's, leeks, lettuce, peas,
squash, sorreu.
Meat should be eaten only
once q day. Weak coffee and
tea are allowed ct breakfast.
