He accuses the bishops of urging the faithful to march against the Government under ff banner in scribed "Long Live Christ, the -King." That banner has traveled a long way in the past and won many fights. Young gentlemen, it pays to save. Even a little may be worth while. Mr. Couzens, asked to pay nine million dollars more income tax, had saved $900 when he met Ford. That gave him his chance. By and by he sold his interest to Ford for thirty million dollars. If he hadn't saved the nine hundred dollars, he could not have the Government suing him for nine million dollars. Moral: Save something, if only a little.

Governor Smith, of New York, is now a candidate for the Democratic nomination in 1928. He intimated it semi-humorously in a recent ad dress. His followers in New York City announced it vociferously at an enthusiastic banquet. Other Democrats that would like the 192S Democratic, Presidential nomination will find in Governor Smith an opponent that under stands politics and the Ameircaa people. Dispatches from Boston describe triple judicial killing In Charles town State Prison, just after mid night yesterday. Three young men passed from the electirc chair to another destination for clubbing an old night watchman to death. Edward H. Heinlein was first to go. As he walked to the electric chair, repeating the words of a prayer by the Reverend Fathe Michael J. Murphy, great crowds gathered outside, automobile horns were booming, photographers' flashlights lighted up the crowd. And at the rear exit from the priv son another crowd was waiting to see the three bodies carried out A special police force was obliged to fight the deeply interested crowd. Crowds that howled around the French guillotine, or that tilted up their gin bottles as they shouted encouragement to murderers on the British gallows, were not entirely different from human beings of to day. Authorities in Braunschweig province learn that when religion involves extra taxes many Germans get along without religion. Registering as the member of any church in Germany, you must pay taxes to the State, and the money then goes to the churches. Braunschweig has been obliged to employ additional clerks to register those that wish to be put down as "without religious faith." Meanwhile Mr. Eahn and his as sociates in New York's Metro politan Opera will make a good start in their new opera house building, providing excellent seats at reasonable prices, from which the opera will be seen and heard, ' ts good for seeing end hearing as Dentists warn women that exces sive smoking brings on "Vincent's Disease" also called "Trench mouth." This disease which at tacked soldiers tliat had nothing to do bat smoke, while waiting in the trenches, is painful, attacks the tis sues, destroys the gums, causes bleeding. However, if women want to smoke dentins won't stop them. This writer tried it in vain, twenty five years ago, by warning women that smoking makes their noses red, and makes their moustaches grow. Still they wouldn't stop. Worked and Climbed j Vast w $ ft ATOCAST Eg I , A, Seventeen years ago Lilly M. Hansen obtained a position as stenographer at 10 per week in the Kimbell Trust Co. of Chicago. Working by day, studying by night, her reward came last week when she was made vice-president Things You Should Know ,by John Joseph Gaines, M. D THE SEWEH The large bowel, the colon, is the principal sewer of the human body. If the main sewer of a city becomes obstructed for leng, its tributaries are soon over-loaded with impurities, stagnation results, and the health of the town is seri ously endangered. Co it is with tho human bv':-: t.'io hoalth and .vigor of the entire being are un dermined, when he main sewer is toot function)!. . . We call such a condition co!it..i;ution; I wish I Could think of a term that conveyed more of a warning to the victim of his own inattention. I believe I am safe in saying that if the colon be kept in proper condition, eighty per cent of our Chronic ailments would never ap pear; isn't that sort of reward big nough to be worth contending for? isn't such a prize worth the effort? The chief cause of constipation is iieglect.- What species of neglect i fraught with more danger? Where is the profit, if we gain a fortune and lose the health? Do you drink at least six to tight frlassc-3 of water daily? Do you take the necessary active exercise? Do you drink two or three glasses of water a3 soon as you leave your bed each morning ? Do you eat plenty of fruits, green vegetables, coarse breads, and cereals ? If you do, you are cutting out over fifty per cent of your doctors bills. You are prolonging life by the best pos sible method; you are keeping your body in the best possible condition to resist infection, especially if you supplement your dietary con duct with plenty of refreshing deep. I wonder if you included any of the above regulations in your New Yea resolutions for 1927? d If a man should put a pair of handcuffs on himself, lead himself to jail, lock the door an' throw away the key, we'd most likely drag him out of prison an' put him in a pad ded cell, but we don't do a thing to the bunch that's trying all the time to strip themselves of human rights as well as liberty. Now we are con sidering censorship of the movies when we have right with us the only efficient censorship without any law the censorship of tffe people. Moral conduct by royal command never has worked out. Let the pec pie have what they want when they want it. Old Dame Nature will bat ter them into the line of decency. We wouldn't have steam heat to day if our aboriginal ancestors hadn't been frozen into moral ac tion. - 1 I Boulder Canyon on the Colorado River, where the Federal Govern, ment plans the construction of a gigantic flood control and water stor age dam to be financed from the sale of hydro-power it will make able. Soalhteul M Photo. Adoption by Congress of legisla tion that has been favorably re ported out by committees in both Houses will authorize the construc tion of the world's largest dam at Boulder Canyon on the Colorado River, dispatches from Washington point out Boulder Dam, as planned by en gineers in the United States Recla mation Service and approved by Secretary oi the Interior Hubert Work, will be SSO feet high more than twice as high as the highest dam now in existence. Planned primarily fo protect Cal ifornia and Arizona territory against devastating Colorado River floods. Boulder Dam, in addition, will create a site for the develop ment of 1,000,000 horsepower of hydro-electric power. This colossal dam will create an artificial lake SO miles long and 30 miles wide in the midst of the Great American Desert Water from the reservoir will be available for dom estic use by a larirc number of cities in Southern California, now launching an aqueduct to bring them water from the Colorado River. Boulder Dam, according to legis lation now pending in Congtvss, is to be self-financed and pre-iuuncrd. The Swing-Johnson bill provides that the Government is not to make any expenditures on the dam until the Secretary of the Interior se cures sufficient contracts for power and water from the dam to repay the Government, with interest, all money spent in the construction and maintenance of the structure. More than fifteen billion dollars in new industrial and agricultural wealth will be created by the elec tric power and water from Boulder Dam within ten years after its com pletion, it has been estimated by Government surveys. This m vv wealth will return, from the South west, more than $100,000,1X10 annu ally in additional taxes to the Fed eral Government, it has been point ed out. Situated 150 miles south and west of the Grand Canyon, the site of Boulder Dam is in that section of the Colorado River which -forms the boundary line between Nevada and Arizona.
