You baul 'em. Medford r"uel Co. 1 KDW f Quitters TWO HUNT)RED wealthy men in New York and Chicago have committed suicide the paBt year, because of financial reverses. In 90 percent of the cases sufficient funds were left to have kept the deceased in comfortable circumstances, for many years. Why did these men end it all f The answer we believe, can be found in the following extract from one of the farewell notes : "My fortune 1 gon and 1 h. no hope of regaining It. Far better not to live at aU, than to atruggle along from band to mouth aa a failure." . To this man, living in a very modest way, with a roof over his head and enough to eat, but without cars, servants, clubs, etc., etc., represented failure. Success !n life, in other words, had come to mean money lots of money. He had become an important cog in an entirely artificial world, and when that world crumbled, could see no world left that could repay continued struggle. . THESE men would no doubt have vehemently denied it. Nevertheless it is quite true, that the spring of their des perate action, wbb vanity vanity and nothing more. It was not what they WERE that really mattered, but how they would APPEAR. It was not the real world that mattered the world of grass and flowers, the world of music and loved ones, the delights of hard work and useful service, but only that world of steel and stone, of stocks and bonds, of show and glamour, which the passion for riches had created. In other words, it was merely a repetition of the age old tragedy of building one's house upon the sands, the shifting golden sands of sudden fortune instead of upon the rock of character, of genuine achievement, the simple enduring satis factions of human life. True the world wide depression, destroyed that house of cards, which a period of sudden affluence had created. But only cardboard men needed to go down with it. For the real i world remained, and a WORLD IN WHICH THERE HAS BEEN NO DEFLATION! TPIIESE men indeed, had far more to live for in a material way than countless thousands, who take joy and pride in living. They were not faced either by want or starvation, merely by the necessity of, going ' without certain luxuries, abandoning certain habits and standards, to which they had become accustomed. TT IS rather a sad commentary upon the type of character that our modern Babylons have created for only in the. largest cities have such needless tragedies been found, It is interesting to note in the list of these casualties, that not one of them represented the pioneer type, only three of them could even be called self made men. By and large they were all of the second or third generation. Why Squander? QHODDT goods are expensive in the long run, and the run isn't so long as you may think. A woman who buys a tawdry cotton blanket because it is a few dollars less than a wool one is squandering her money just at the time when she probably can least afford it. The wool blanket will last twice as long and give twice the warmth, for just a little more money. So why be extravagant and buy the shoddy article! This also goes for a Bhoddy coat, or suit of clothes, which will begin to wrinkle, bunch and shrink a few days after it is out of the shop. A well made one of good stout materials will do for years, and coats only a fraction more. EVEN more so is it true of food, which should be bought not for bulk to fill the stomach, but for the nourishment it con tains. A cheap cut of meat from an old, tough animal isn't econ omy. More than half of it must be trimmed away, useless sinew and bone, into the garbage pail. Of course partially decayed vegetables are cheaper than good ones bulk for bulk. But dollar for dollar, you are buying much less nourishment. Quality merchandise today, as every store keeper knows, has dropped in price much more, proportionately, than tawdry stuff. This is because the depression has brought to the Amer ican people an hysteria for cheapness the demand for quality merchandise is proportionately less. TIE American people today are squandering millions of dol lars in tawdry food, tacky clothing and flimsy merchan dise which just be replaced after a short period of use. The man pr woman who is really economizing today is the one who is counting the values as well as the pennies, demanding real worth out of every dollar spent. It isn't a matter of patriotism. No one is urging you to spend your money in order to save the world from dire calamity. Be selfish buy quality merchandise and Bave money this year. W. A. W. Kaiser Wilhelm II Tried Victoria s Self Control LONDON. June S.-(AP) Queen Victoria, near the end of her life, retrained from giving Kalaer Wilhelm II of Germany " good snub." be cause ahe had decided that It "wouldn't do," It waa revealed to day by the publication of the final volume of her lettera. The name of the kaiser appear frequently In the lettera and they how the late queen aa conatant advocate of forebearance when hie dalnga aroiued Brltl.h Hostility. When he acnt a telegram to Preel dent Kruger of the South African republic at the time of the Boer war, exciting furloua anger through out Britain, the queen wrote: 'It wouldn't do to give him a good enub.

"Wllllama faulta come from lm petuousness, aa well aa conceit, and calmneaa and flrmneea are the moat powerful weapon. In auch casea." In 1B07, four yeara before ahe died. Victoria made an entry about her igrandeon, the preeent king, then the Cuke of York. Tour year titer George had married the preaent Queen Mary ahe wrote: "I took leave with much regret of Oeorgle and May. Every time t eee them I love them more and respect them greatly. Thank Ood OeorglCe got euch an excellent and uieful and good wife." When the preeent Prince of Walee wae two yeara old the queen wrote: "Dear little David la a moat at tractive little boy, ao forward and clever. At luncheon time he always trice to pull me out of my chair, aaylng. 'Ott up, Oangan.' It make, u laugh very much."

If Nelson Had Married, Copyright King Feature 8ynd., Inc. More than a thousand of war veterans are in Washington now, close to the capitol, where congressmen can see them. Five thousand more are on their way. And they say they "will stay in Washington until 1945, if necessary, or until they get the bonus paid in full." Also, some have said "We are the young men of this country, we fought for it, and we pro pose to run it." This will add to the hard thinking of the senate and house, now wondering how they can attend to the work on hand, including a deficit of about two thousand million dollars. It la not a pleasure trip for the veteran. They Bleep In tente and the "worlds' richest country" apends six cent a day on the food of each man, two meals at three cents apiece. On German's "magic mountain," the Brocken, made familiar to you by Goethe. British and psychological Investigators, will endeavor In the light of the full moon on June 17 or 18 "to transform a goat Into a hand some youth." The superstitious believe that the thing can be done, wltn the assist ance of "a maiden pure of heart." Two young women, on English, one German, will be provided, in esse there ahould be something wrong with one of them. One of the maidens, all In white, will lesd a white goat by a silver cord Into a circle near a pine fire, anoint the goat with blood, honey, and scrapings of church bells, cover ing the goat with a sheet. Bystanders will utter Latin Incan tations, and when the moon la ob scured, the sheet will be removed and tt Is expected that a handsome youth will appear In place of the goat. That probably can tie arranged, If It Is dark enough for a handsome young man unobserved, to creep Into the olrcle, while the goat creeps out. Two dispatches from Mexico re mind you of Russian news. In the "State of Mexico," one of Mexico's subdivisions, every Catholic church Is closed, because Cathollo authorities have not complied with legislation requiring them to name thirty-four priests, none to be foreigners, and no others to offlclste In the state. Another dispatch says the govern ment has taken 33.000 acres of land belonging to the Mslpaso hacienda, dividing the land among 300 unem ployed laborers, Each laborer get about 71 acres of land, and promises to cultivate it diligently. Giving lands to people that have none, a an offset to crushing and dispossessing the church has been pert of the Russian program, aa It wa part of the French revolution. M Time will tell the effect of to day's fight against religion. There 1 no doubt that the French revolution, although It lasted but a short time, greatly weakened the hold of religion on the French people, except, per haps, among peasant. Samuel Johnson, In hla life of Mil ton, expresses the opinion that to suspend religious exercises even tem porarily Is dangerous: "To be of no church la dangerous. Religion, ot which the rewards are distant, and which Is animated only by faith and hope, will glide by de grees out of the mind unless It be Invigorated and relmpreased by enter-. nal ordinance, by stated calls to worship, and the salutary Influence of example." It having been announced that young men graduating from the na val academy at Annapolis will be for bidden to marry within two years after leaving Ann. polls, Congressman Cockhan of Missouri will Introduce a j bill to prevent sny such regulstton. Men In the army and navy ahould marry early because ot the probabll- I Ity ot their being killed young In caae of war, and the durability of their leaving deecendanta to fill their place. ! It would have been a good thing If Nelson had married the young Ca nadian girl with whom he waa ao deeperately In love, when he com manded a frigate cruising off the At-; lantto coast In our war wlih England. I If he had married that girl, from ' whom fellow officer dragged him to hla ship by force, he might hare left after him some Interesting little Nel sons and refrained from making such a tool of himself with Lidy Hamilton Mr. Charles WotrUhoffer opera tea Personal Health Service By William Signed letters pertslntng to personal beslth snd hygiene, not to disease, diagnosis or treatment, will be answered by Dr. Brady if a stamped self-sd-dressed envelope Is enclosed.

Alvarez has consigned spinach to the rabbits and to people wno aavB ius u- gestlon of an os trich. It some times cures them of Indigestion. But It causes .sensitive people a lot ot trouble.

All this must be pretty sad. I wonder that the poor man bears uo and keeps as cheerful as he seems In his book. But Just the same that sort of life gives even tne mnif HAtArnilned on ti mist a tlntte Of pessimism. It la bound to do so. In In Wall Street, waa a great wan In that part of the country fifty years ago, and accumulated millions. His wife, who has Just died, left more than ten millions, with more than two millions In government bonds. This weakens the theory that wom en know nothing about business, al though life insurance statistics show that It usually takes about three yeara for some man to get any money that a widow may Inherit. Hlrohlto, Japanese emperor, going In state to open parliament In Tokyo, Is guarded on all sides as be passes through the streets, policemen search ing the crowd tor weapons. This must seem unbelievably shocking to the older Japanese. To them any thought ot an offense against the sacred person of the mikado would be Inconceivable. The Fed Star, representing Russia's army, warns Japan not to annoy Rus sia, or run a risk of war, by letting the Japanese mlllarlst-Jingo element go too far. Japan's prime minister says his country has no Idea of any trouble with Russia, and doesn't Intend to havt it, which shows good Judgment. If Japan fought Russia today, she would find Russia unlike that of the czars and corrupt grand dukes.
