Millionaires Racing Against Competitor ' Over Six Million Years Old If Time Catches Up With Them People Will Be Benefited

By Senator KENYON of lowa trSryW E must get back to more ■ I simple living in this country. We have forgotten how to PRACTICE ECONOMY; have have thought that the senate might well commence to teach the country a lesson in economy by abolishing a lot of USELESS COMMISSIONS. We are surrounded m on every hand by commissions—mmUm-. ' commissions to right of us and commissions to left of us. hHk f||Hjj} WE ARE LIVING IN AN EXTRAVII ~ AGANT AGE. WE ARE //lONEY i *MAD AND RACING THROUGH LIFE \ /W against time, which is calcu- - y LATED TO BE OVER SIX MILLION Photo by American Press Association. YEARS 0LD ' AT A NECK BREAK * ING PACE, PILING UP FORTUNE ON FORTUNE, MEN WORTH MILLIONS, STRIVING FOR MORE, NEVER STOPPING TO THINK THERE 18 NO POCKET IN THE BHROUD. * X * The rich are FLAUNTING their riches in the FACES OF THE POOR. We see a $120,000 organ at the opening of a millionaires’ home in New York and a long line of HUNGRY MEN at midnight in the SAME city, constituting the bread line; girls working in stores for $5 a week and the proprietor of such stores dying and leaving millions to MUSEUMS. Is it any wonder that the people of the country are RESTLESS? The problem of the control of great wealth is the most important problem of the hour and the one that SHOULD RECEIVE OUR ATTENTION. ' ,

“Votes For Women” Cry Portends the Coming of a New Nation

By Mrs. MARY E. LEASE,"SiIver Tontfued Orator of Kansas

SUFFRAGE has not eliminated and will NEVER eliminate men. Such talk is all RUBBISH. Despite the unrest, the tumuit and the forebodings of the present, despite the many appeals and attempts at reconB+’mction, which are only fragmentary buildings upon old and outworn foundations, woman is NOT YET AWAKE nor SUFFICIENTLY DEVELOPED mentally or spiritually to bring out of the disorder and unhappiness of our ill conditioned social chaos a NEW ORDER OF PEACE AND HARMONY. The great body of women delude themselves and seek to delude men by their INSISTENT APPEAL of “votes for women.” IN EVERY GREAT CRISIS IN HUMAN HIBTORY THE INNERMOST ELEMENT WHICH IS THE FEMININE COMES FORTH. IT IS THE SIGN WHICH PORTENDS THE NEW BIRTH OF NATIONS, THE GOING OUT OF THE OLD. THE COMING IN OF THE NEW. In this day and age many rush in to serve their OWN ENDS, and, mistaking the effect for the cause, they add to the CHAOS AND CONFUSION by a superficial smattering of “political equality” which they are not prepared to teach and which but few are prepared to receive. Women must learn that within themselves is the power that alone will make them free. It is WOMAN WHO MUST HELP MAN by making the ideal visible.

Summer Warnings For the Public © 7 © By Dr. HARVEY W. WILEY, Government Food Expert © © eAT only about two-thirds as much in summer as in winter. Avoid stimulants such as tea, coffee or alcoholic beverages. Vegetables should be the chief form of diet, also milk and buttermilk. Children under six or seven years of age must eat little uncooked fruit or berries. -, • > Do not eat unless hungry, and if you can do without luncheon it is not unwise. The mortality of infants would be lessened if they were given only milk and only prepared food when milk is impossible. Solid foods are very bad for children under three. Milk is the thing. Take care that ice cream is made from fresh fruits only, containing no coloring matter. . (

Humor and Philosophy

By DVNCAN M. SMITH

PERT PARAGRAPHS. EXPERIENCE Is often hard to get, but It Is ours all right when we get it. A chance to make good Is one thing a boaster Isn’t looking for. Every thief Justifies himself by pointing out a bigger thief. Being honest is all that the most of us can do without garnering any worldly goods at the same time. A good boss is often a poor workman. Talking too much Is a habit tha* doesn’t worry a silent man. We speak in an unknown tongue when we talk of our feelings to the person who has injured us. When you can’t look out for your own interests without doing damage to others somebody is trespassing. Being slightly insane is the mental diversion of a lot of people. Don’t be alarmed when you see a man with a swelled head. It isn’t infectious.

Foresight. I wish I knew as much about The way that things are coming out A year from now as some folks do. Though all they know may not be true. They pick their little candidate, They straighten out the party slate, And everything is cut and dried If but their rules can be applied. They tell us Mr, Jones or Brown Will pull a nomination down And, having got along that far, Will run on like a parlor car. Although it is a year ahead, For them the final word is said. They cannot with all seeing eyes Guess how It could be otherwise. But let them hold their guessing match And secrets for the future patch. The people may insist that they Will have a word or two to say. There may be smashing of the slates As pretty Mary smashes plates, Jl And when we come to clear the wreck Unheard of ones may rule the deck. A lot can happen in a year Which at this moment is not clear. We might have war, which In Its turn Would give us candidates to burn. There may be Issues burning hot Of which today we reckon not. New measures rise and shine and set, And so db candidates, you bet.

Slight Exception. “A straight line,” said the wise man, “the shortest distance between two points.” “Unless”— began the objector. “No unless about it. It is a positive law.” “Unless, as I was about to remark, there happens to be a bear standing on the line.” It Certainly Does. “Get wisdom." “What for?” “To use.” “Do you know what that does to you?” “What?” “Makes you disagreeable.” Thought Ho Needed It “Guess what that pert Ann sent me.” “I can’t, Percy.” “A hot water bottle.” “Well, why didn’t you?” “Why didn’t I what?” “Put it at your feet.”

Getting Them Wholesale. “I saw you kissing Sister Sue last night.” “Don’t say any- « thing about it. Here is a quarter for being a good boy.” “Quarter nothing! I want at' least a dollar. They ought to be worth a cent a kiss.”

Natural Result. “I am dead broke.” “That so?” “It is sadly so." “How did it happen?” “1 have been out with a bunch of liye ones.” A Chestnut. The bill collector always knows The gentleman will say: “I’ve got a deal about to close. Please call again some day.” He takes his bills and moves along, Goes gayly through the door, As though he hadn’t heard that song A million times before. Spiteful. “Ours is an old family.” “That is plainly to be seen.” “Do you think so? How do you Bee it?” “It has all the earmarks of decrepitude.” «r 4 ■ Irresistible, “She has learned to love another.” “And who is the other?” “Some one who has learned to run ■n auto.” " “
