Here Is Either Heresy
or the Profound Truth

At the recent meeting of the Mil
lionaires Club of Contentment and
Happiness in the green Verdugo hills.
one of the neighbors quoted an old
saying which runs as follows:
''There are three things that can
never be recalled-the sped arrow
the spoken word and the lost oppor-
tunity."
The neighbor who brought the mat
ter up expected that the meeting
would be deeply impressed and that
the saying would lead to a historic
discussion. But, curiously enough, no.
body seemed to be at all impressed
and the discussion was exceptionally
brief.
To begin with, the millioLaires said,
what is one sped arrow more or less,
anyway? There are plenty of arrows
in the world, or at least there used to
be when arrows were in use. rs to
the spoken word it is usually thing
not worth recalling And in regard to
lost opportunities. why, the thing Is
not to regret them, but to hustle and
find new ones.
And thus again what has been ac-
cepted as wisdom proves to be mere
waste Of breath.-John Steven Nc
Groarty, in the Los Angeles Times.

his death of cold while riding over

Average Life Span OF Presidents
Is 80 Years

Calvin Coolidge's life was nine
years shorter than the average OF
all the American presidents who
have gone before him. His 60 years
fell below the average presidential
lifetime for the period since the
Civilswar which has dropped to 63
years and has given rise frequently
to the statement that America in
this modern age subjects it's presi-
dents to a strain that kills.

lived to a ripe old age. John Ad7
ans lived to be 90. Thomas JEFF

the so year mark.
The comparative longevity of the
early fathers accounts in large part
for the fact that the figure for
Americas presidents as a whole
rests at 50 years--just one short of

More than 1900 commercial
drivers, according to the National
Safety Council; have been given
medals for no-accident driving dur
ing the past year and a half. 1t
took no little skill to win these
medals. as it requires skill, patience
and care to drive for full year
without SO much as a scratched
fender
Commercial drivers are by no
means the only motor vehicle oper-
ators with such enyiable records.
Many plain motorists also go along
day in and day out without mishaps
because of skill patience and care
on their part.

Record Made BY State Fire Marshal

Record Made BY State Fire Marshal
The annual report of State Fire
Marshal Frank G. Henry shows that
in 1892 the office of fire marshal Sc
cured rs convictions for arson and
kindred crimes-a record for the
| past II years. During 1882, the
marshal and his assistants investi-
gated 1853 fires, and 238 persons
| were prosecuted as a result of these
Investigations. On January / 1898,
there were 28 indictments pending,
and 80 cases were ready to be pre-
sented to 1888 grand juries. Sum-
mary of 1892 prosecutions: Convic-
tions, 76. confessions, A; war
rants, 139; arrests, 1877; bound over
to grand jury, S5: failed to bind
over Il; indicted, Zip; failed to
indict. &c. acquittals, 35
The report shows that the number
of restaurants closed during 1892,
was only slightly larger than the
number of restaurants opened. The
decrease in number of licensed ho-
tells was larger comparatively. The
number of dry cleaning plants re-
mained about the same. During the
year, plans for 13 new dry cleaning
plants were approved, and six new
plants and two rebuilt plants were
licensed in 1882
The record in the investigation
and other branches was made de-
spite the fact that the cost of oper-
ating the division was $8,377 less
than during 1881. and $36,495 less
than in 1880. Comparison-expen-

MAKES WOMEN
LOSE FAT

Miss Rea M. Haines of Dayton,
Ohio, writes: II weighed 1870 so
started to take Kruschen. I never
was 50 surprised as when l weighed
myself the first week-I lost 7
pounds. l just bought my 3rd
jar and am down to 145-am still
taking them and never felt better
in my life" June II, 1897.
To take off fat-take one half
teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in
a glass of hot water in the MORN
ing before breakfast-one bottle
that lasts 4 weeks costs but a few
cents-get it at Purcell's Drug
Store-or any drugstore in Ameri-
ca. If this first bottle fails to
convince you this is the SAFE and
harmless way to lose fat-your
money gladly returned.
Don't accept anything bu1
Kruschen because you must reduce

usual cathartic. You'll be rid of alt
that poisonous waste, and you
haven't weakened the bowels. You'll
have a better appetite, and feel
better in every way. The constant
use of cathartics is often the cause Of
a sallow complexion and lines in the

Would you like to break yourself
Ct the cathartic habit? At the same
time building health and vigor that
protects you from frequent sick
spells, headaches, and colds? Get a

Labor legislation that will short
en- working hours and spread jobs
and wages is the greatest need of
southern states today; and North
Carolina has the chance now to
lead the way out of economic chaos
by enacting such laws, said Miss
Lucy Randolph Mason, general
secretary of the National Consum-
ers' league.
Public opinion is needed in
North Carolina to see that the
present 11-hour day and 55-hour
week are enforced" Miss Mason
said. MANY reliable persons have
told me in the last week of knit
ting mills that are operating on
12-hour shifts, and of one mill
that operates continuously for II
hours and more a day while it has
orders, and then shuts down until
the next order comes.
IF North Carolina would lead
the way with a nine-hour day and
4S-hour week, it is probable that
other states would follow. The
spreading of jobs would follow a
44-or 49, hour week, with con-
sequent good effect upon purchas-
ing power and benefit to wage
earners, is too obvious to need
comment.
"tAny job is better than no job,
and any pay better than no pay,
is one of the most dangerous eco
nomic fallicies current today
Miss Mason said. "The economic
necessities of workers at a time
when approximately 100000
are unemployed is making posi-
bic an exploitation of wage ear
ners in wages and hours of work
that would be incredible if it were
not substantiated by we'll authen-
ticated facts. Recently the Ma
tional Consumers League collect
ed data on this subject from 20
states, through written reports
and at a conference held in New
York much of the information
coming from official sources.

ness Week entitled The American
Consumer Market indicates tina,

1.-THE National Consumers Lea
que joins with great numbers of
economists and an enlightened
minority of manufacturers in urg-
ing that stability be given to the
present chaotic situation by put
ting a solid foundation of law
beneath employment policies. This
can be done by limiting hours of
work, establishing minimum wage
standards, creating unemployment
reserves, and eliminating children
under l6 years from industrial en-
ployment. 1t is also necessary to
put teeth in labor laws and see
that efficient departments of labor
administer such laws with impair
TALLY and courgae."

not done we'll. You may not be eat

Because of mal-nutrition, some
