' It is a pleasure hard to anticipate, this statement of Harden Colfax, expert statistician, who points out in a press communica tion that high wages will return after the present" slump. He basc3 Iiis reasoning on the historical fact that labor novcr loses anything in the way of advanced wages, i If he is correct the McAdoo-inflated money must return to remain permanently. If he is correct the world must have a new crop of financiers, for the Morgans and Duponts of today have had their schooling under the old-time low price levels. The statements of Mr. Colfax recall very vividly a rcmarke made by Billy Vogcl, of Union, when lie finally parted with hi driving horse and bought an automobile. "Yes," he said, "I havi done it, along with everyone else, and now wheat must sell upwards of a dollar a bushel for all future time, in order to pay living expenses of us people who raise it." Vogcl's remarks were quite appropros. He was a prophet, and he spoke, probably, wiser than lie knew. And, too, if labor again gets the high wages and they re main permanently, will not the general plan of business be revised? Perhaps it will give, in that revision, amplo opportunit for trying out with safety a few reforms which, heretofore, have been considered uncertain for, with cheap money showering the country again, people will feel like trying anything once. WEEKS OF VIRTUOUS OMM1SSION. ' A sarcastic .citizen, in a city t'out has been celebrating "Milk Week," criticizes uplifters who urge people to drink milk without telling them how to drink it. According to this critic, milk ought never to be "drunk," but always to be "slowly sipped and insalivated, as it is by tho suckling young of mammals." S He proceeds to express his wonder that the American public is having so many weeks of the "do" sort and none of the don t sort. He suggests a "Don't Eat Too Much Week," a "Don't Spit on the Walk Week," a "Don't Smoke in the Elevator Week," a "Don't Swear Week," and a "Don't Paint Your. Face Week.' Why not? As is the case with sins, virtues of omission are surely no less important than virturo of commission. And while we're omitting things, it might bo well to leave out "weeks" altogether for at least one month in the year. T-HE OFFICt CAT By JUNTO iilvp on 'Hr!

Cresset says: "They are worth their weight in gold. Send for them at the price named and we will send them to you by return mail. ril, I.aiy folks have more thn 50 per cent of the hard work.

Some seek it a life time and muff it, while others havo it forced upon them. 'Barbara I'rictchie achieved it by poking her dome out' of u window and telling Stonewall Jackson where to head in. The boy who stood on the burning deck did it that way. Mary had n little lamb and, no doubt, should never have been heard of otherwise. Other examples will readily suggest themselves. It should be understood that all this stuff on fame is from hearsay. But wo re Mill hoping. Kame ia a good. deal lino a cream puff.

In olden times, it was bclioved that tlie sent of the soul was the stomach, most likely for the reason that a man is never so completely used up as when his stomach is out of order. For the cure of ordinary stomach troubles, there is nothing quite so prompt and satisfactory as Chamberlain's Tab lets. They strengthen the stomach and enablo it to perform its functions naturally. Give them a trial. They nly cost a quarter. adv.
