A .lOVRNAIilSTIO MARTYR
( YreUa .lounmi)
We will repeat what Mr. Fur
lontf liutt to Hay about tho cuho.
Wo don't know whi'thor wo will
live through tho ordeal of pro
ducing It or not, but wo will givo
i It a ho wrote It with the excep
tion of some remarks that aro not
very - complimentary to Mr. Car
penter who has lately piiHHed to
1 his reward, and we do not wish
to speak 111 of the dead.
' 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.
Have not been run over by an auto
yet, hut expect to he soon." Letive It
to nor. The boss painted tho counter,
nnA'dhirk un a h! mi. "Krenh Paint.1'
Nobody believed It. They never do.
I'm Mr Solomon. Two of my com
mere 1ft I men friends came in, and they
BktiJi "We want to know who has tho
prettliHt necktie, girlie." And I said:
"Neither, they're tied." 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. Itetween 'em they
Hck the platter clean, as far as I
know; Kxcue mo. I gotta ooze
down t the other end of the counter
and go through the motions connect
ed with working.
. 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

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.

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. O.) , V ;
Answer A dozen somersaults, two
or thre times a day, forward and back-
ward, may help the flushing, but aa a '
rule the only relief for blUsiilng a'p-
pears to be growing, up ,or growing j
old. Blushing Is one of the prerogo-.
tives of youth; youth is always in. a'
great rush Jo dispose., of itB prcroga;

Hammer Toe
Please toll me if there Is no cure j
for hammer toe other than by opera-
tlon. I am 17 years old. (J. M.) '
Answer. In mild cases the toe will
straighten out if retained In correct .
position by means of adhesive plaster
Btrlps of small Bpllnts. In cases of long
standing Biirgery is necessary Borne-;
times a bloodless subcutaneous dlvls;
Ion of the contracted tendon; some
times the toejoint must be exercised. '.
