' A liADY TAMiS So you want some coffee to drink. That hain't no way to use It. She writes me: "I am down here In I'YIhpo, the gay city of song and laughter.

I'm mistress of tho speedy come-back chatter. My grandma was the same way. He's got siothing to do. nnd won't do It. She's got a handtmg big enough to crawl Into when It rains.

AND IT WORKS Candidate Illank was Invited to speak To the womon of Hintown In primary ' week. His Initial reaction Was one of distraction, Fori although ho could handle a mas culine mass, To appeal to the skirts was a novel 'Impasse! - The political wiseacres heard of his Plight And speedily banished his feeling of fright. They assured him he'd find That the petticoat mind If handled with tact would react as expected, And they gave him the cue that would get him elected: "What they want Is son sturf, Sentiment and slush, And a little slob stuff Plus a lot of mush. Go light on tho mob stuff. Home-ls-womans-Job stuff; Give them tears and throb stuff, Fattery and gush!" (RatRvePost.) SOCIAL MISHAP (Ktigene Guard) Clenr 'Luke. Ore., Nov. 20. James Humphrey and girl of Eugene were tiiklnrf a joy rldo Sunday evening and hud the mis fortune to brook a spindle In his , car1 and had to cull the Wing and ' DanlelB garage nnd hnvo i them come out to the I'arkerson plac nnd tow his car In to town. TIJK SAD FATK of Doctor Cook sliouM be n warning to young people endowed with the creative imagination. If Doctor Cook had gone into the movies, or devoted his energies to popular fiction, he would undoubtedly have been a conspicuous success. " For in the realm of creative fancy he could have allowed himself full rein, and undoubtedly have escaped the jail and perhaps even the justice court. . But unfortunately lie entered the field of scientific exploration where the imagination has no legitimate place.. In a romantic sense lie undoubtedly climbed Mt. McKiulcy and reached the north pole, just as Douglas Fairbanks went to the Crusades, and Valentino won the hull fight at Seville. " ' ' But in tho scientific sense he did neither. So, when ho turned his tremendous energies -and pregnant imagination in the direction of Jhe oil fields.: lie bit a gusher. lie hit a dotfen gushers. lie merely dif what Thomas JUeighan did, in a film entitled "Back Home and Broke," or something of that description. They put Meighan a little higher in the silver-sheet firmament for what he did; for what the imaginative doctor did, they put him in jail. It is very sad. Doctor Cook will now go down in history as crook, when if he had merely had the good sense to devote his peculiar gifts to a suitable field, he would probably have gone down in his tory as a second Griffith or a Mr. Sauerkraut the Third. So let this be a lesson to all young men and women. If you find it almost impossible to tell the truth, if you find yourself living in world of romance and make-believe, don't turn explorer don't go into business, turn to the creative arts, take up the law, or journal ism or become a professional politician. Personal Health Service By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. ; Noted Phyaician and Author QUILL POINTS Out where nobody cares wlint anthracite costs, that's where the West begins. The man who isn't very sure pay gets well without so many call; from the doctor. "How can America help Germany?" How, indeed? We'v bought our share of marks and police dogs. Correct this sentence: "When reading," she declared "I ulways stop and look up the words I don't understand.'1 " "' Why not linvo pugilists instead of football conches in our colleges 'Jradiiatos can't get rich playing football. It must be difficult to keep on loving the common people when Ihey persist in easting their ballots for the other fellow.

Thoughts for Education Week 'Without vlnlon tho ponnlo norlHh." Without iMlui'iitlon tht'i'o ran In- littlo vision, of iMliinitlon It may ho sivid MlHt "It Is tWIl'O lllt'Hti It l)ltK'th hhn that Klvs ami him that inkm." It will ho Kroatly worth tho effort If wo can ItnproHS this tltnuKht upon tho young manhood and womanhood of tho nation and rodlroot tholr Intorost and patrlotlo goal to tho tdon of mak ing n propor t-untrihutinn to oduoa- tlonnl work. It Is rogrottalilo that so fow young mon nnd women, tMiuippod for suoh Borvli'o, nro nownduva dis posed to givo tholr time nnd talrnts to teaching. Education needs their young eagerness, xenl nnd enthusiasm. "There in no school of discipline more effective than that In which tho teacher goes to school. Wo could do no greater service than by convinc ing those young men and women who have enjoyed educational opportuni ties that they owe a reasonable share of their time and energies to teach ing. The strength nml security of- tho nation will always rest In the intelli gent body of Its people. Our educn tion should implant conceptions of public duty and private obligations nroad enough to envisage tho prob leni8 of a greatly distraught world. More than anything else, men and women need tho capacity to see with clear eye and to contemplate with open, unprejudiced mind tho Issues of those times. Only through n properly motivated nnd generously Inspired process of education can this be nc- compUnhed. Warren O. Harding. It Is not enough to have under- stnudine and good education among a few: what wo require Is good under standing nnd good education en masse. We must In the mass under stand the problems with which wo must deal ns a democratic pontile. We can advance nnd develop democracy but little faster than we can advance and develop the average level of Intel ligence nnd knowledge within the democracy. That Is the problem that confronts modern educators; thnt Is tho problem that confronts democracy itself .-Samuel Gompers. - - - - Taln't In the Blood It was our Intention to string about a score of talks on the subject of the veins. Hut I pause to Inquire what is there In the veins to bilk so much about? Well, I am frank to admit that , so far as I can testify there's nothing In them but blood. So we'll have a little chat about blood. When discussing verlcose veins we switched off onto tho subject of heal lug; a subject which was BiiKgesttTd by the remarks about varicose ulcers. There Is a very popular fancy that when a sore or ulcer or wound heals without difficulty the Individual has good or pure blood and when healing Is delayed the Individual has poor or tainted blood." Tli,us, you seej we come soon or late to the subjeot we mean to talk about, whether 'tis a taint or 'taln't a taint that makes cuts and sores heal quickly In some persons and slowly or not at all In others. ' First let us clear the ring of cob webs of superstition and misunder standing. Persons who have such a disease as syphilis, which, certainly entails a taint in. the blood or Impure blood, as a general rule show little or no rash or eruption about the face. On the other hand, persons with pimples and other skin troubles which appear about 'the face generally have clean blood so far as any tests available to day Indicate. This mere statement of fact ought to put out of consideration the popular notion that' a "bad com plexion" has any particular relation to or dependence on the condition of the blood. A bad complexion or a skin rash, as a general working rule, Is fur less likely to be associated with poison or Impurity to be associated with pis: on- or Impurity In the blood thau an ordinary headache, a touch of alleged rheumatism, a little nenrltls or a gen eral tired feeling. ' . The natural healing process, jllke natural growth, goes oh at a certain rate which varies with different tis sues but Is uniform for the body as a whole; nothing we can do will hasten the healing rate,, though there are a thousand things folks can and do do that Impede and delay the healing pro-cessT-for Instance swabbing a cut or sore with carbolic salve. Carbolic may destroy Some gerniB but it Is more like ly to destroy the delicate young epithe lial cells which are being produced by nature to replace the skin or mucous coverings. About every other antiseptic or ger micidal Bubstance that may be applied to a wound behaves similarly. In deed, It is to be considered rather a misfortune when the use of an anti septic or germicide is necessary, In the judgment of the physician or surgeon, once the wound or ulcer has been dis infected, Bterlllzed or cleaned. Nine times ouf of 10 the slow or delayed healing which the victim of a wound or sore attributes to poor blood is real ly due to the daily destruction of deli cate now tissue cells, the scaffolding erected by nature, by the ill ad'sert use of antiseptics or germicides. Scien tific neglect, as I explained the other day, Is the Ideal management of wounds or sores, Bmall or great; In tho scientific or inteligent manage ment of wounds or . sores or ulcers gefm destroyers havo not plac? at all after, the preliminary cleaning up.

Crib for Baby la it harmful to the health of a 2 year old child to sleep In the same bed with the mother or father if both par ents are hearthy? . (Mr S. O.) Answer-Sleeping partners disturb one another's rest; both are likely to share any communicable" disease which either happens to catch. There fore, separate beds are always more hygienic. Remedy to Stop Blushing It seems when I talk to people my face blushes and makes me feel undig- ' nified. Can you give me a remedy for this? (W. R.
