The Necessity of Work The principle that seems to lie at the bottom of bolshevism is that you can live without working. To make practical the theory, the deluded followers of the system in some countries destroyed the savings of the middle classes, despoiled factories and undermined financial organizations, in the hope of obtaining the funds that would enable them to prove their contention. It took the masses of Russia only two years to discover that the promise of "plenty without the expenditure of effort" was as fragile " as a soap bubble. After the leaders of the bolshevik program consumed in a few months what others had accumulated by years of thrift and self-denial, the consequences of the. fallacy became apparent in a period of starvation and an absolute want of everything necessary to maintain and sustain life. If there were the slightest element of truth in the theory, mankind would have discovered it long before the twentieth century; for men in all stages of civilized society have sought in vain for a panacea that would enable you to eat the cake and still keep it. The ancient world had men, equally as profound in their thinking ability and ingenious in their enterprise as their descendants of today, and some of them spun theories of'getting something for nothing" with as much semblance of logic and as strong an appeal to the masses as any modern bolshevist has done. But the world gained no positive good or
uplift from the f ulminations of their minds. , In
happiness and prosperity. The quicker the believers in bolshevism quit trying to build a social structure on the bubbles of "living without working" the quicker will the era of readjustment be over. This proposition is a fundamental one which no new theories of the social state will succeed in overthrowing. Some of the ancients
tried to work out an "ideal state" in which all, would be idle, but they soon learned that it ledj to anarchy and ruin: Man must work. His very j nature makes him a worker. ' AH his progress is ; due to the labor of his ancestors. Remove the sdutory and animating influence of work from, our lives and you reduce us to the stage of bar- j barians and by gradation to that of savages. A civilized man relishes work, both to keep mind:
and hand busy and to furnish the enjoyment that;
comes from a task well performed.
The People and the Mob j Henry Watterson. retired editor and publicist, ' in an issue of Leslie's Weekly, analyzes the danger of the mob spirit and cautions against action that springs spontaneously without a careful!
analysis of the law of cause and effect. He boldly asserts that mobs have rarely been right, "except when capably led." In these instances, it
is safe to assume that the leaders were thinkers i
who had a course of action mapped out long be-1 j .V . ... . ... . . .... . i v.
fore they led their followers, ana based their acts i
on conclusions attained by hard study and a careful estimate of the result. Mr. Watterson says:
THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAM 8 DAILY TALK HELPING IN THE "SILENT' There are two ways to do things with your words and with your acts. A man does not have to open his mouth and talk, in order that one may feel his worth. Character Is a pictured and moulded affair not anything spoken. It Is said that Tennyson and Carlyle used to caU upon each other and sit whole evenings together, smoking their pipes scarcely talking at all. Just two great natures feasting on each other's thoughts! Influence is always traveling. It is a divine part of the ether of the world. Most of the helpfulness of time and space is done in the "Silent." In thinking and in words understandable without utterance. The pressing of the hand, the smile of the face, the sparkle of the eye they tell things too great and deep and splendid to be formed into mere words. "Looks' speak volumes! Sometimes they spin out a lifetime of experience and sympathy. And how they do help, too in their silence. I get great helpfulness from folks I have never met formally. I see them in but a glance as I pass them quickly on the street or in some gathering. For character and innate goodness of heart and soul perfume a personality and make it regal, wherever it goes We may all help in the "Silent!" Sometimes we do not even understand ourselves. And It isn't strange, either but natural. Out from mystery were we conceived and born. Into the swerving mysteries of life we move and have our being But the greatest and divinest of all that we are is involved in the beautiful thing of helping people, as we trot along in the "Silent " The happiest person is the helpfullest person.

are those in which the creative mind of man link
ed brain with muscle and went forth to new achievements on the basis of this relationship. All of us recall how many centuries ago men spent money freely to obtain a formula whereby dross and base materials might be changed into gold. Today we smile at the credulity of those who gave their gold for the discovery of the secret. And yet the man who today gives his hard-earned savings to the oily-tongued stock promoter promising golden dividends on a stock certificate showing an equity in a mine or an oil well in some far off district, might just as well hand his money over to an alchemist searching for the "golden formula". Equally as foolish is the disposition of mind that believes a reign of bolshevism will enable you to feed and clothe yourself without working for the money that buy these necessities. How foolish, in the last 'analysis, ''to believe that you will be happy without working! All the sages and philosophers of the world, all the founders of the great religions, all contented and happy
men, in all the ages, who sought to improve the!
condition of mankind, have proclaimed only one way that leads to happiness and prosperity the road of industry, mental and manual. Some men are advocates of idleness as a means to procure happiness, but they are the exceptions, and usually are to be found among tramps and agitators. Well-balanced men are workers. They employ mind and muscleto obtain a reward, and having attained the goal work on to enjoy it fully. Columbus was not satisfied with the discovery of the western hemisphere. It acted as a spur impelling him to sail on and on in the hope of finding still greater rewards for his daring. Although Premier Clemenceau had passed the meridian of life, he asked his physicians whether he would live long enough, to carry the weight of France's burden during the great war. He gloried in the task he carried. Edison, the premier inventor of the world, still spends long hours in his laboratory, deeming it a great pleasure, indeed, to be permitted to find enjoyment in his work. The war has left us a problem of readjustment, gigantic in scope, and all-pervasive in its ramifications. This task will keep all the countries busy, without forcing them to drive home the lesson that work is the keystone of enduring

little need of the riotous manifestation of mob spirit. The founders of the nation provided a legislative machinery that enables us to obtain redress of wrongs and amelioration of conditions. It is a healthy sign of our national life that we are growing in the conservatism that makes for efficient citizenship through the use of orderly means. Therein lies our strength and the hope of our nation. The mob spirit is being supplanted by aggressive public opinion that is on the side of right and deprecates the wrong.
Dinner Stories j
Germany's denseness in sensing the
necessity for her strict compliance with" the first armistice terms made one think of the banker at Weeping Water. Neb. .who wast asked hv an
impecunious farmer for a loan. The banker was one of those people who are deaf for commercial purposes. The farmer was chronically wanting to borrow, and his security was getting shaky. "I'd like to borrow $3,000," pleaded the farmer. The banker cupped his hand behind
nis iame ear and said : "Speak a little louder and cut down the amount." The sergeant major of a certain regiment was a bit of a martinet and was constantly finding fault with the slightest things. One day he was sitting in his room in the barracks and, happening to glance out the window, he saw a private pass in full uniform with a bucket. This roused the sergeant major to a fury and he promptly dashed to the door and hailed the private: "Where are you going?" "To fetch some water, sir," replied the man. "What!" yelled toe sergeant major, "in those trousers?" "No, sir; in the bucket," was the reply. ;.
Norway Refuses to Join in Blockade on Germany PARIS, June 3. Norway has refused to join in a blockade of Germany in case the German delegates refuse to sign the peace treaty. Norway is the second of the neutrals to decline to join in a blockade movement should the allies decide upon such a course in the event of Germany's refusal to sign the Versailles peace. Switzerland last week made it known that she would not comply with a request from the allies to prohibit all exports to Germany in such a contingency, the Federal Council again asserting Swiss neutrality.

NC-4 U to be Shipped Back to United States ' (By Asociated Press) WASHINGTON. June 3 The American naval seaplane NC-4, which arrived at Plymouth, England. Saturday, thereby completing the first transatlantic flight, will not attempt a nonstop or any other kind of a flight back back to the United States, Secretary Daniels said today. The seaplane will be disassembled and shipped to this country. The secretary said the navy contemplated no attempt at a nonstop transocean flight in the near future as th navy did not desire to make a spectacular showing, was not-in any competition for transatlantic flight honors and did not favor "stunt' flying. Secretary Daniels declared that the navy is content to rest on its laurels for the present and that the NC-4 will be brought back to this country on board the U. S. S. Aroostook. The crews will return later on board government vessels.

Purging the Socialist Party"
From the' Brooklyn Eagle. rTr-HE meeting of the executive committee of the SocI ialist party, the party of Debs and Benson, is of considerable significance. The party has to reckon with an adverse psychology calculated to alienate the men who, while academic believers in Karl Marx, retain the feeling of national patriotism and regret the attitude of Debs and Berger. This element is more numerous than is commonly believed. , It is not, of course, a dominant dement The Chicago meeting opposes the peace treaty, sympathizes with the Soviets in Russia, declares for the "popular revolution" in Hungary. But it also reads out of the party the Slavic branches of the Foreign Language Federation four Brooklyn organizations Included for a "transplantation la detail of the methods used by the comrades In the secoind Russian revolution, with an utter disregard for the difference in conditions in this country." City reorganization is expected by Alderman Algernon Lee. who is quoted as saying: "I suppose there are ahead of us some months of turmoil within the party.
but, In my opinion, the party will be all the better for it and the organization will come out all right." The so-called "purging" of the Socialist party, it is clear, involves only a turning out of those who 6ay or hint that violence should be used, at present, to change social conditions. Bolshevist or I. W. W. methods are seen to be unwise, or at least untimely. That is all. We cannot believe that this is enough to bring to the support of the organization the patriotic citizens who are Socialist in thought and opinion. It would mean more if accompanied by a definite declaration that only constitutional means are relied upon for changes now or at any time in the future. Such a declaration in good faith would hold the Socialists down to the exercise .of prerogatives common to Americans. To advocate a change of statute or of fundamental law, according to constitutional forms, and to seek to get a sufficient majority to favor such' a change, would not be revolutionary, no matter what the advocated change might be. But this is a limitation to which the majority of the Socialists in the organization are not willing to subject themselves.

SPLENDID WAY TO REDUCE YOUR WEIGHT There is perhaps no one thing that so plainly shows the passing of our youth as the horrible tendency to put on too much weight after we have reached the age of 25 or 30 years. However young our faces may appear the sagging, flabby figure and forty inch waist "gives us away." The cause of this over stoutness is that our stomachs convert the food we eat into fat because there i3 not enough oxygen in the blood to produce p. proper combustion to destroy the excess fatty tissue. Fat people will be pleased to learn of a simple method that is wonderfully efficient in reducing weight, quickly and easily without a starving diet, violent massage or strenuous exercise. Go to any drug store and get a box of Phynola; take five grains after each meal and at bed time. This treatment will often give quick relief from overburdening fat. Phynola taken at meal time assists the stomach in giving you the benefit of the food you eat; at the same time dissolves the fatty tissue from any part of the body where there is excessive fat. By this method many have reduced their weight a pound a day and there is no flabbiness left. Conkey Drug Co. can supply you with the genuine Phynola at a small cost. Adv.

TERRIBLE SORES No Matter How Chronic, Thistlethwaite's Six Drug Stores Guarantee San Cura Ointment to Give Relief and Often Permanent Cure. "My daughter was troubled for over a year with a fever sore on her leg, and was helpless in bed for three months. To the great surprise of all, including the four doctors who had attended her, San Cura Ointment healed the great sore in less than six weeks." J. D. Hood. Townville, Pa. Karl C. Banks, of the Atlantic Refining Co., of Pittsburgh, had a sore on his ankle for a year. He doctored, and tried various remedies without relief. He says "San Cura Ointment worked like a charm ; reduced the swelling and healed the sore in two weeks." Bear in mind, that besides sores, San Cura Ointment is used with great success in eczema, boils, carbuncles, salt rheum, tetter, also itching, bleeding and protruding piles. In cases of burns, scalds, cuts and bruises, San Cura is most valuable. The price is only 30c. 60c and $1.20 a jar, and Thistlethwaite's Six Drug Stores guarantee it.

"My nephew, James Hogan. who is fifteen years of age, has gained sixteen-pounds on Tanlac and is now a robust, happy boy after thirteen yaars of awful suffering," said Miss Maggie Goldsmith, 2S0 Henry Ave., Memphis, Tenn. Miss Goldsmith has been connected with the Joe L. Ullathorne Seed Co., of that city for twenty-seven years and is a stockholder and director in the company. "Ever since James was two years old," continued Miss Goldsmith, "he has been afflicted with stomach trouble. Two or three hours after eating, especially the evening meal, he would begin to complain of severe pains in his stomach which would increase until he would go into convulsions. These spells would come on five or six times a month and last about thirty minutes and he would be uncon scious for an hour. Some said he had heart trouble and others said it was vertigo. His condition kept him down to almost a skeleton and it was pitiful to see how he suffered. "His mother took him to St. Louis, and many other places for treatment, and we spent thousands of dollars trying to find some relief for him but ic was all to no avail. "But all that awful load of anxiety and worry has been lifted. James is now a well and happy boy and is going to school, and a few bottles of Tanlace did it. He always complained of having to take other medicines, but he seemed to like Tanlac and since taking five bottles he is sivteen pounds heavier and doesn't look like the same boy. He wants to eat all the time and can eat anything without it hurting him. It makes us rejoice to see James well and stout and enjoying life like other boys. We are not looking for notoriety, but for the sake of suffering humanity, we are willing to give our unqualified endorsement for Tanlac." Tanlac is sold in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite's stores, and the leading druggist in every town. Adv.
