WE ARE ACCLAIMED

By a Visitor Who States He Is Unable to Interpret His Mixed Sensations When He Views the Arch as Our Most Superlative Aesthetic Expression.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "I have," said the visitor polishing his eye-glasses and fixing his auditor with his more or less glittering eye, "I have seen your arch." "Don't call it mine!" Baid the other person. "You cannot evade responsibility," said the visitor. "Are you not one of the units of the municipality? And did not your city government erect this extraordinary architectural er er ! pardon, but words fail me." "I agree with you that it is extraorjdinary but words do not fail me!" j said the other person. "Only the words are not polite words and will not be (uttered in your elegant presence. "Do not, I beg of you," murmured I the visitor, "in any wise allow my presence to act as a linguistic handicap. I can imagine naturally, what iyour emotions must be when gazing

A Free Trial Package Proves It. No comfort anywhere. Swollen feet rob the day of all its sunlight. But it's a TIZ foot bath tonight. Tomorrow is all smiles and fleet-foot-edness.

TIZ Is a wonder to draw out all those acid poisons that sag down Into the legs and feet. TIZ shrivels a. hard corn into nothing drives away bunions, reduces your feet. to. fit your shoes and enables. you to run like a deer or stand and drill like a soldier. Get a box of TIZ, 25 cents at any druggists, department or general store, or send to Walter Luther Dodge & Co., 1223 S. Wabash Ave., Chicago, 111., for a free trial package. Not to try TIZ Is .to Invite misery. Don't waBte time with substitutes. (Advertisement)

lari: "I withdraw I renig!" deployed the visitor. "For I know of nothing that would cause me" greater suffering than to see so ardent a Progressive as yourself lapse into political degeneracy. While I myself will cast my vote for Wilson once a Democrat, always a Democrat, you know still I regard Roosevelt " "Of course, of course, I know you do," hastily interrupted the other person. "But I refuse to discuss politics I'd rather talk about the arch." "I myself, do not regard political discussion as profitable, although, at times, entertaining. But, indeed, I should not have had the presumption to drag the subject into this conversation if you had not, through your reference to Taft " "Accept my apologies," cried the other person. "It was my fault. But, while you're in town I wish you'd write an article about the arch. The public would be interested in hearing your views, being, as you are, a well known art critic " "Not at all not at all!" airily declaimed the visitor. "Although I admit to an intense feeling for the aesthetic aspect of things. "Especially the physical features of a community. "Its outward man, so to speak. "And I was unspeakably shocked and Ineradicably amazed when while strolling toward the entrance to your beautiful park, which I so well remembered even after the passage of years, to encounter this rocky monstrosity." "A sort of a bastard, as it were," grinned the other person. "An illegitimate offspring of the famed art center." "Yes," reminisced the visitor. "I can remember when it was predicted

j that this community would be a sort

of second Florence. The home of a new school of artists, of great art museums, of stately public buildings, of magnificent boulevards which would ramify to the fringes of the county, of sculptured monuments and of a vast and deep-seated culture. "I, myself recall attending art exhibits effected numerously by the proletariat, of hearing of mute geniuses and seeing remarkable canvasses painted by the butcher, the baker " "And anon the candlestick maker," Interpolated the other person. "Even so," cried the visitor. "Many marvels existed at that time in Rich

mond, Indiana. Art dribbled at the fingertips', so to speak. It oozed from the pores. It sprang up from the beautiful red brick sidewalks and smote the cement man upon the Jaw and even haunted the council chamber." "Yes," murmured the other person, "We were represented in our municipal legislature then by brains as well as brawn." "It saddens me. to hear you thus suggest comparisons," said the visitor. "Do I 'gather' that brawn alone remains?" "I would not," hastily cried the other person, "have you misinterpret my allusions. I say nothing of brains not I! But of brawn I fear we have but a plethora." "You alarm me!" cried the other. "Where are your strong young men of the nineties! Those foot-ball players who painted china so inimitably and those Dianas who wove raffia hats! "I remember to have seen them ir the vigor of their young manhood and maidenhood, seated side by side laying on the transfers and weaving the shuttle deftly in and out. "It was a beautiful a momentous a propheetic sight. I longed to return : decade hence to view the splendid d velopment of these embryonic master of their art. "And I return " he cried, dramat' cally pausing. "Yes you return " cried the othe. person "To and " "To find" "Your beer-garden arch!" "Say not 'beer garden.' " whisperer" the other person. "Soften your similef Rather say 'carnival' arch. For," h' went on cannily, "we do not want t offend the Prohibitionists some c whom are being rounded up for Du: bin." "Can a Prohibitionist ever be roun ed up?" inquired the visitor. "I shou! think the psychology of the roundin would too nearly suggest the obno ious 'rounder,' who, as I take it, point the moral to the Prohi's tale of woe." "Be that as it may," said the othi person, "rather than see Beverid

"The finest flower of our culture!" cried the other person. "The burgeoning of our art spirit! The child of Art redded to the municipality." "Little did we reck," he went on. 'what we would reap when we sowed our first fifty cent pieces so genorousy. When we encouraged art by paying our artists ten, and sometimes even 'welve, dollars for their masterpieces "'"d at odd moments behind the barn! "When we taught our children how to make things with the hands, when our daughters wove mats and our sons painted on china teapots and sugarbowls! Little oh little did we dream hat this would concentrate its essence, as it were, reach its highest exiression, come to an apex and attain ts pinnacle in the Arch!" "Lamentable as I regard your attiude," said the visitor, "I still see how

our proud spirit must writhe in bitteress and aesthetic agony. Alas that ! lings should be ever thus." j "I fear you misinterpret me," said he other person. "I mock not, as you lay think. No!

Don't Poison Baby. FORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must hare PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and a FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggist3 are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them "poison." The definition of "narcotic" is : "A medicine tchich relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convulsions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing ppium are disguised, and sold tinder the names of " Drops," " Cordials," " Soothing Syrups," etc. You should not permit any medicine to bo given to your children, without you or your physician know of what it is composed.
