," Some one, us a popular cartoonist frequently reminds us,
is always taking the joy out of life; and among the most
implacable purveyors of gloom are the concocters of statistics.
Most of us can lake figures or leave .them alone; but these
infatuated persons are helpless addicts of the vice, and the
issuance of n statistical report is enough to send them on a
' debauch of analysis and deduction. They are mildly intoxi
cated, for example, by the mere announcement in a census
bureau bulletin to the effect that (hiring the year 192S the
American public spent $101(10,000 for emblems and insignia
of the multifarious organisations of the country.
; Well, what of it? What if this does corroborate the tra
ditional charge that the American is by habit a "jiner," a
rluve to the gregarious instinct and a psychological urge to
"belong" to something or other, especially if membership
endows him with a glittering uniform? The wearing of a
society's regalia is surely an innocent diversion, often sym
lxilic of u lofty idealism. Kesides, there is nothing that has
a more lienefieial effect upon sufferers from an inferiority
complex.
Let a man be conscious of bis obscurity in the social
scheme, or of sulordination to a stronger personality in his
family relations, and what could be more solacing to his mind,
more stimulating to his spirit, than the privilege of appear
ing from time to time in uniform and with a sword, even
astride a charger Democracy does make life a rather dial)
kffuir, and an occasional parade of richly caparisoned citizens
is really in the nature of a public service. We have known
men who satisfied their desires in this direction by hoarding
the badges and buttons ncfiuircd at political conventions.
Anyway, why this implication of tho statisticians that
' the tmffic in insignia Is .1 deplorable extravagance? Can it

STOMACH HEALTH
Is Reason For Joy
The abilit.v to eat without being reminded of the
fact by stomach -'pains or other discomforts is one of
the joys of life.. This does not imply that a man must
live to eat. It simply means that a man or woman
with p. good stor.oach is fortunate. Food can be enjoyed
and forgotten, while other activities of life .ire carried
forward. .
There are many forms of stomach trouble, ,sqme
of which are not flue to Stomach .weakness, but'tn tliej
' wealuress'-of 6th'er"b'rgans in the alimentary tract,
which include the liver and other intestinal organs..
When any of the alimentary organs are out of order,
it may affect the sltomach.
We have some n iethod that will correct your trouble.
