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.

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.

When he acnt a telegram to Preel

"Wllllama faulta come from lm

In 1B07, four yeara before ahe died.
Victoria made an entry about her

"I took leave with much regret of

When the preeent Prince of Walee

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

sad. I wonder that the poor man

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.

that It usually takes about three

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

If Japan fought Russia today, she
would find Russia unlike that of the

Dr. Alvarez' case the pessimism finds
an outlet through the spinach in
dustry. Well, now, I am no stomach spec
ialist, tho I know a good stomach
when I see one. I can readily Imag
ine some sufferers from stomach or
Intestinal trouble might get along
as well or even better without any
spinach, whole wheat or bran.
But what I protest against Is this
propaganda against spinach and
other fine, healthful, appetizing,
economical Items of food.
For my part, bring on the spinach.
No good dinner Is quit complete
and well balanced without a pitch
forkful of spinach on the side. Iron,
calcium, phosphorus, vitamins, AND
very desirable and absolutely un irri
tating roughage. But I like spinach
not because I have a rabbit's appe
tite or the digestion of an ostrich,
but because I like spinach.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
No Sugar Substitute.
Could you give me a substitute for
sugar In my tea or coffee? I am
trying to reduce . . . Mrs. S.
Answer No. There Is no substi
tute that Is good for your health.
Don't Give Baby Popcorn.
Our 17 months old baby likes pop
corn very much and It does not seem
to bother him . . , Mrs. P. P. C.
Answer Because of the chance of
Inhalation of a bit of the hull and
Its lodgment In the lung or In a
bronchial tube. I should advise you
not to give a baby popcorn until
he Is over 3 yetfrs of age. In any
case If a youngster should "choke
on" any auch foreign body, pick
him up by the feet and thump his
back between the shoulders with the
end of your fist for a minute. If
this falls to dislodge the obstruction,
and enable him to cough it out,
place the child Immediately prone
on the floor or table (belly down),
face turned toward one side, and
apply prone -pressure artificial respi
ration until medical help arrives. If
you are not prepared to apply arti
ficial respiration, don't dare go to
sleep tonight before you send for the
free booklet on resuscitation. En
close with your request a stamped
