The National Republican Committee tho other day reversed itself
on cutting out "the Southern (leleute..scaiidal." A few rebel yell
speeches were made and the thing
were again given a representation
strength, and the North was given a larger representation to sugar
coat the dose. '
There probably isn't a member of the National committee who be
lieves this action was morally right. The parly convention should
accurately represent the party will, but such an arrangement gives
the south a strength which renders a just parly representation im
possible. '

Naturally Hiram Johnson of California complains, because tho ad
ministration controls the Republican South and he doesn't. But Hi
ram's pose of righteousness is only amusing to the initiated. If the
k. nditions were reversed, he as a good politician, would keep still.
When votes are concerned, all politicians are the same. The na
tional committee knows the negro vote in the north, with the recent
negro hegira northward, has become a genuine political factor. For
fen r of losing that vole the reform upon which the lute President
Harding had set his heart, was thrown to the fishes.
.It was ever dims. , In the nation, the state, or tho county the
general conditions are the same. And in the final analysis, not the
politicians, but the people are lo blame, for they persist in rewarding
tho cleverest politician with their votes.

CHRISTMAS
I
WILL GIVE the kid a present when iho .Christinas time has
come; he shall have a wooden pheasant and a jewsluirp and a
drum; he shall have, liecause he's little roller skates and knives
to whittle, and some candy nice and brittle and a stick of chewing
gum. And my smiling little nieces, they shall have their presents,
too; sawdust dolls Jhal come to pieces, oranges and figs to chew,
candjes made of rich molasses, lollipops and looking glasses, plate
glass jewels framed in brasses, and a tube of liquid glue. But my
grown-up aunts anil cousins needn't look for gifts from me;
they'll be standing, by the dozens, round the gaudy Christmas
tree and they'll hope for something nifty, something worth five
bueks or fifty, hut I've suddenly grown thrifty, and no presents
will they see. Oh, the joyous Christinas season should bring
pleasure to the young, but. there is no fitting reason why our
roubles should be flung buying presents for the fellow whom the
years have rendered mellow, even though lie says we're yellow
when no costly gift is sprung. Hand your gifts to littlo nippers
to whom Christmas is u treat ; I am tired of drawing slippers that
bring anguish to my feet; and I say to nil the senders of embroid

unseemly heat. ' ' ' , . . .

A letter came In here the other day
from a lady who lately had toted con
siderably more heft than is really safe
or even comfortable. I dare not print
it because as It is some folks suspect
I have enough lmag-
inauon to write nc- lady before and after she began solu
tion. But this lady ' ersaulting and symphoning we would
pives her solem-i 'find at least some additional explana
word for It that she tlon for the remarkable reduction she
has accompl I s h e d ' has experienced.

merly was, and that sheonr w
courue,. ,they always feel new. Her
regimen' which has brought about the
phenomenal reduction Is something
like this: ,
First thing in the morning she rolls
out of bed and does some 30 somer
saults before dressing. I have always
Insisted that somersaults are not ex
ercise but this lady asserts that 30
rolls before breakfast are exercise.
She then goes to breakfast and dis
poses of a bit of fruit, two. or three
slices of toast and usually iwo cups
of coffee made after the Brady for
mula, that is, without boiling. After
breakfast she docs her usual house
hold work which she seems to think
is some more exercise, tho I seem to
have Intimated the -contrary. H?r
routine "work" finished, she . grabs
n vv inn. uiiu aun ts uui iur ner juui n-
ing hike, covering anywhere from
three to eight miles, pedometered, be
fore she gets back home, ,
If she covers six or more miles In
the forenoon, thnt is sufficient to
comply with her day's stint. She then j jnK f0r n gi,.. if you feel that you
has the rest of the day for her usual . want to become a nurse you may ob
work and play. Nothing more to tnIn BOme authoritative information
do till nearly bedtime, when she again 1 about training schools by directing an
duns her Greek slave contumo and inquiry to the American Schools asc
enders the complete liraciy pyrn
phony. This she does because It ex-
hilaratcs, whether it helps to reduco
or not. Then she arrives at the end
of a perfect day rolling another 30
somersaults, and so to bed.
I am willing to concede that such
a program does certainly help to pre
vent the accumulation of superfluous
weight. But I still maintain that even
tho such a regime be faithfully fol
lowed eyery day it will not materially
reduce weight unless the diet Is rea
sonably restricted at the same time,

ml tho man who waited on me whother

AVoar Side Elastics
Please state specifically the injury
caused by wearing tight elastic bands
just above the knees to support the
stockings. (Mrs. B. A.)
Answer. Such constriction of tho
thigh interferes with tho return of
blood thru the veins, predisposes to
varicose veins, leg ache, swelling.
Girls and women should wear sido
elastics attached to a skeleton waist
which takes its support from the
shoulders
