LESSON OF BOB BURDETTE'S LIFE.
It is a pathetic and suggestive story that comes from.
rasauena to the etiect that the once popular humorist,
who has just died, became a professional funny man
through thinking up cheering stories to tell to his inva
lid wife.
A peculiar source of humor, it seems at first thought.
But so was Lincoln s early opportunities a peculiar
source of his masterful intellect; so was Poe's narrow and
unhappy life a peculiar source of his beautiful thoughts
and his far-roaming imaginings: so was- Darwin's nhvsi
cal deficiency a peculiar source of his marvelous scientific
achievement.
It is said by many philosophers that men develope ac
cording to the obstacles they- have to encounter-r-over
come. This is not unqualifiedly true, else the Esquimo
would be the super-man. But so tar as mental and moral
qualities are concerned, there is much truth in it.
Bob Burdette had ceased to be famous long before he
died, but middle-aged people and older ones remember him
well as, lor years, one of the country's greatest humorists.
He has added nothing to the world's store of science, of
the classics, or the high arts. But he generously scatter
ed bright smiles and lightened with laughter the hearts of
millions.
. Ohio has a Law on its statute books that is making the ROMANCE TO THEM '
newspaper men smile. Someone who had it in for "the. irnr DEf TTIINr HFRF
Ivino- newspapers" had a bill introduced in the legislature' " inL IVLAI' inimj nl&
providing for the punishment of newspapers publishing:
false statements. Before the bill became a law the news-!B JKydo"dJ;eXw.i
lanor men suep'ested a change or addition, which was ac- the work thut is involved in the
cepted, and the law went into effect providing for the JrXCK
punishment of ''any newspaper or any person" from ad- constitution, but with us it is tin- roai
vertiser to campaign manager who prevaricates in print; fX'a LCno.
The first person to be punished under the law was a male foort e. o. r-erry, of the Department
ffopsro who had told a talse story to a newspaper reporter. h. ;,, ;h' Y , Uv
As most of the mis'-statements made in newspapers are to 8ecroa.-y of state oicott, in wit.
he to false or misleading information., .the newspaper ZiX'TZ ZtSC ZZ
fraternity' are enjoying the law that was initiated for the puiHo schools of the nution's mo

One class of imports has been seriously affected by the CT'VVZ
war. At Ellis Island, New York,, which has a capacity for wonderful that the people t orouon

to get out oi his own country than it is to get into someimark is taken for or ted timt t-rt

trenches and keep the incinerators working full time.
Great Britain announces thirty-six censors have beer
fired. This may be truer but it is evident she still has a
t'ull crew on the job or someone is working double shifts.
Nothing gets by the gang unless it is favorable to the al
lies. In justice it should be added, however, that the Rus
sian and German and all the other censor do their w-.H.
in the same way and each reports a victory for his side.4
no matter who wins.
Carranza following. in the footsteps of so many of hi
predecessors in Mexico,, has taken the first step toward
his lourney to Spain. It shows wisdom on his part to es
tablish his capital at a seaport, where the getting away
is good and can be done quickly on short noticeor none.

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take a tablespoonful of Salts if Back

forms uric acid.
Yesterday it was snowing in Berlin with the thermom-
A hearty,, wholesome laugh, like the ripple started by both old and young in the devastated war zone of Europe.
the dropping ot a pebble m a pool, ever spreads in a wider,
wider circle.
Like the particle of leaven, it lightens the whole loaf.
Like the sunbeam,, it casts a glow of warmth and light
that never goes out of the world.
The sunbeam, may bury itself away in the- tough fiber
of the oak, but it dances forth again in the glow and heat
of the genial fire. It hides itself in the heart of the grape,
hut it laughs again upon us in the sparkle of the wine. It
falls on desert sands and seems to die there; but not so;
its warmth is wafted by the winds to far-off fertile lands
and shields them from lhe frosts of night.
Jirst so, the hearty,, wholesome laugh, born of a genial
soul, ripples, leavens, sparkles on through the world as a
gladness forever.
It is said there is not such thing as a new joke. Well,
there are no dead ones, either. Maybe there are no new
laughs, but only echoes of the music of Eden.
We are- a nation of meat enters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well known authority, who warns us
to be constantly oo guard against Kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do beir utmost to free
the blood of this irritating neid, but
become weak from the overwork; fid
get sluggish; the uliminutivc tissues
clog and thus tho asto is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel

bladder is irritable, obliging you to
seek relief durinir the niirht: when

Does Salem intend' to turn deaf ears to the appeal of
the war victims for aid? It would seem so front the. apa
thy so far shown.. We do not believe Salem people are less
kind hearted or charitable than other people, indeed they
have proven their big-heartedness on many occasions, and
the apparent neglect to aid the famine-stricken of Bel
gium and other countries ia not due to lack of sympathy
or niggardliness, but to the fact that no one has taken the
lead in the matter ami made it convenient to give. The
churches, Commercial club or some other organization
should take hold of the matter and establish a depot
whore donations of food, money or clothing could be re
ceived. There will be no lack of givers when once this is
done. Who will assume the responsibility and provide
the means through which Salem can contribute her quota
ct the suffering, homeless and hopeless victims of red
Imnded war. It should bo remembered that "he who gives
miickly gives twice." Women and children, the old and
the young, millions of them, have notliing between them
and death but tho charity and goodness of their fellow
men. Hundreds here in Salem are anxious- to do some
