Gront Is tho hulilmli up.itntc about
tho Cnnliy, OrcBon boy of 17, nnd
Batting youimer cvory minute, wli
wim ruthli'HHly torn from hlH Mn'H
apronHtrlnRii by a Bchoolniit'iiiii who
escorted him to a JUHtlno of tho peuco.
A casual render of tho nmlrlmnniiil
occurrence would assume, If ho had
some Illumination, that the ovoritrown
ninlo was stranded in Armenia with
out funds, attacked by cotiRn.ru. hit in
tho head with a doublo-bitled uxe,
und run over by n. piano truck. To
hear tho womenfolks howl, and the
agonized squeals of the oHslps, an
Htroelty had been eomnilttbd, suf
ficient to make HoIkIuiii look lio" i
pair of nickel socks. Tho boy, tendt..'-
and Rreon, was only 17 whn married,
und is now rapidly approaching 14,
and licliovo hlB folks, "ho is hip for
his ago." The hrldo, who Is 22 to 20,
Is painted as a combination Cleopatra
and Theda Bara, who swoopeil down
on tho nursery, nnd seized tho kid,
feloniously nnd maliciously, nnd made
off with him before ho had a chnnce
to bawl for Mother. It Is good to see
an entire community, the metropoli
tan press, und tho north end of the
stnto take so much interest In the
doings of Daniel Cupid, and earnestly
endeavor to try and keep tho bride
from being happy, and tho groom
from going to work.
WITHIN tlm lust fortnight tlio currency of two European coun
tries advanced above American dollar purity, clialle.nying, for
the first time since the war, the dictatorship of the American dollar
over foreign exchange. In the same period the currency of a third
European country arose to par with the dollar.
On the first day the now German reichsmark was placed on. the
market under tho Dawes regime it sold at 23.82U, cents, although its
par exchange rate with tho dollar is only 2'i.8 cents. The Swedish
kroner, "worth" 2G.8 cents was sold on tho same day for 2U.84 and

(!uriilw. inn fo-iti he'tweon the American dollar and the Canadian dollar
J.oo Und Diit.nh D-iiildiT liad also decreased perceptibly. '
These arc the first and long looked forward to spurts on tlie for
eign exchange list which recall to memory the normality of IftU. It
it: only a beginning, but the consummation may not be so long Icoming
as has been the beginning. ;
AVlint is most important, however, is that, the beginning Slaving
been made, more is bound to follow. Currencies that have for so
long been forced to bow to the dollar simply cannot afford to bow
to the reichsmark, say, or the guilder. The British pound, for in
stance, must now fight its way to parity, or a certain amount! of Brit
ish trade will go to Germany and Holland. Something or ot.lier must
be done to the French franc, or France will not be able to take full ad
vantage of German reichsmarks paid as reparations.
The dollar, of course, cannot tie placed permanently at a dis
count. .That would be just as abnormal as having all other currencies
discounted for dollars. But it must yield its overwhelming advantage
for the sake of normality. A normal exchange market serves the best
interests of all concerned. It will come when the rule of the dollar
has been challenged by the rest, when the dollar simply becomes the
prime minister of currencies the first among equals.
Silent beasts of burden.

To carry us where'er wo choose.

With great delight in you wo stand;
In nil our biddings that you must do
Your services are praiseworthy, you

COFFEE FANS.
I
LINK UP with the coffee drinkers, I quaff mine from a flagon
wide, with captains, statesmen, bards and thinkers who take
the good tho gods provide, who drink it with the morning sinkers,
and with the roast at eventide. A pail of coffee, well com
pounded, is sure to soothe the savage breast; 'twould tempt the
gods, Who are surrounded by all the fizzes of the blest: and while
sane poets' lyres are sounded, its fame will travel with tho best.
Hut while I sip my morning beaker of coffee fetched from far Bra
zil, there comes a dour and dismal speaker, who says, "What dope
is that you swill t It's poison, it will make you weaker, and
wreck you, if it fails to kill. You think your cup of dope de
lightful, you chortle as your works it laves; but it's a demon
fierce and spiteful, nnd those who drink it rank with slaves; it
holds a drns, caffeine, that's frightful, that sends men to untimely
graves." "(!o to," I say, "your aspect bearish sends fnntods
shooting through my frame; whatever drink n man may cherish,
there's always some one to exclaim, 'Abjure that flagon or you'll
perish it plays n dark and deadly game I' This drink is great,
mid while it fills me, I fed at peace with all mankind, with un
mixed ccstaey it thrills me, I leave my cares and woes behind; I
drink three quarts, and if it kills me, I'll ensh in cheerful nnd
resigned."
Much labor has been expended on
the construction .of chairs. Much

Some folk like
chairs to sit up in.
Home want chairs
they con sit down
In, And some insist
on chairs that one
can neither sit nor
lie In, but just a littlnvof both.
Tho chair and sent builders. nJ
doubt, arc as hnrd put to it to please
us all as nre, the shoe builders. Here,
a few yenrs ngo a grmip of us doc
tors, cnstlng about for something to
correct, hit- upon shoes. We con
ducted "surveys" nnd all that sort of
thing, until wo arrived at some defi-1
nlto conclusions ns to what kind of;
shoes some people ought to wear, and i
we persuaded tho shoe maker to
build tho shoes according to our con
clusions, which were that tho lasts
should have either a straight Inside
solo lino, or an inward flare or nn
outward flare. So that settled the
shoo question. Now let us straighten
put tho chair evil.
The labor that has heen put Into
tho designing find building of chairs
Is nothing at nil compared with the'
energy that is spent in just sitting in
chairs. This does not includo tho In
calculable amount of power that is
expended-in propelling rocking chflrs.
A rocking ehnlr isn't a chair, anyway;
It Is simply a means of conveyance.
Hut any and every kind of chair, from
I he revolving swivel chair to tho most
luxurious easy chair, demands some
degree of muscular action If you sit
in it. The most comfortable chair
you may select uses up somo muscle
energy. The rate of metabolism is
always considerably higher when the
individual lies in bed and that is
why physicians will not allow certain
patients who feel able, to sit in a
chair. You can't fully relax, you see,
unles yoti ussume tho horizontal pos
ture. Complete relaxation is com
plete rest, and this is essential, with
most people, for sleep.
Tho chair builders, bedevilled by
the demands of the public, turn out
a lot of weird contraptions these days
which nre a cross between seats and
beds. The things are odd and some
times beautiful at first, sight: and if
you have . brief try at one you may
imagine it is wonderfully comfortable
and order It sent up to the house and
then nnd Jthere (if you have the
amount of the first Installment with
you). Tiut think twice, I warn you,
for after you get the darn thing home
nnd ready for occupancy you'll find
It Is of little use, for you seldom feel
tired enough to slump down in it
until you are so sleepy you have to
go to bed. It just takes up room and
becomes an eyesore like tho what not.
Tho wise plan, perhaps Is to keep
away from chairs as much as possible.
They are at best poor compromise
with the rest posture, which is hori
zontal. If you're a sedentary person
and feel you must do a lot of leading
nt night, get into bed and read, where
your muscles, hopes and ligaments Are
relaxed and at rest. Of course you
must arrange the light so that you
will not overtax your eyes, nut for
ordinary well folk, reading in bed is
unobjectionable and In tho horizon
tal posture you have old man gravity
temporarily checkmated.
QVESTIOXS AND ANSWERS,
l'utlis.
Cnn a legally registered osteopathic
physician prescribe or administer
drugs the same ns a medical physic
ian? T. J.
Answer I believe ho is not per
mitted to do so in soino states, tho
that seems funny It the osteopathic
physlcinn is qualified to receive a li
cense from the state, ho is certainly
capable of prescribing or giving what
ever treatment tho patient requires.
This practice of licensing ono kind of
healer to give the patient his medi
cine and another kind to straighten
his joints and a third kind to attend
to his diet, etc., is a poor Joko on tho
public. When I obtained a license
from the state I obtained the right to
use whatever method of treatment I
pleased, whether that might ho mas
sage, surgery, manipulation of tho
body, diet, mental therapy or what
not. Tho state perpetrates a friitul
on the people whfln It licenses a
honlnV n,,,l then limits or restricts
I that healer to tho use of ono remedy
or method of treatment, in letting
loose on the public unlicensed heal
ers with limited privileges the stato
simply says in effect: "This doctor is
nnl A,,ll,nltr ..nnmntonl lint we hel'e-
j by honor him with tho official ap
proval or loo. Binio. riiiuun. jvu,
health and life to him at your own
