T Ve, I The wonder is that anyone ever thought of the phrase, “the quick and the dead” before the age of automobiles. “Digest what you read,” advises a fiction writer. but how is one to digest 80 much of the writing that doesn’t go down? It's too bad static can’t be divided up into nouns, adverbs, etc. It has the other earmarks of g universal language. If you want the $lO-bill you give to the poor do S2O worth, let a few words of sympathy and encouragement go along with it. : 1 They say fish are not found at a greater depth than five miles, and we doubt that any liar ever caught any at that depth. .

A good many persons are trying to decide now whether to throw the old bathing suit away or try to carry it through another winter. One item tells us that Queen Mary has adopted horn-rimmed spectacles. and another that she has taken up toy-making. One gathers that she wishes her old age to be useful rather than ornamental. A London (England) divine asks, “When women have succeeded in ridding themselves of the last avallable encumbrance, what then?” Well, then they can still reduce. An American navelist, returning from abroad says that there are no flappers on the other side of the Atlantic. @ Maybe that is what is the matter with Europe. According to a Paris dispatch, the king of Spain believes that things might be going better, referring, perhaps, to the way the French are winning his war for him, Man is an animal so lacking in vanfty that he prefers to carry excess weight rather than subject himself to the embrace of a rubber reducing girdle in hot weather. A well-known prophet predicts a world war beginning in November. However, since he’s the same one who prophesied the end of the world for last February, few are losing any sleep over it. - The United States has a doetor for every 724 persons. That's a big enough crowd to Kkeep any doctor busy, but several of them are healthy. Now that we have the wireless telephone, what is to become of the golf player’s alibi: “How could I, my dear, from way out there in the rough?” However, the women won't care if their hands are growing bigger as long as all ilncrease In size at the same time. Who really cares about a small waist any more? When a man with a black eye appears in the streets of Paris everybody suspects at once that he is s member of the chamber of deputies. It is a disturbing thought that it the worst happens in the coal industry we shall have to sit around home this winter wearing all of a two-pants suit. The returned missionary who e shocked to find there isn’t much diffegence between the dress of American women and that of the savages, must p overlooked the price tags.

! NEWS REVIEW OF , Walker’s Election as Mayor of New York Is Big Triumph for Gov. Al Smith. By EDWARD W. PICKARD NATIONAL interest In last week’s elections centered mainly on New York city where “Jimmy’” Walker, the Tammany-Smith candidate for mayor, was pitted against Frank D. Waterman. millionaire Republican nominee. Little doubt of Walker's victory had existed, but the size of the plurality—more than 401,000—caused something of a sensation. Actually it was a spectacular triumph for Gov. Al Smith and | ‘fixes him in his place as the foremost figure in the Democratic party. He says he will retire from politics at the end of his term, but if he wishes it he is assured of the support of the Eastern “wet” delegations for the Presidential nomination in the next Democratic national convention. That of course doesn’t mean that he could be nominated, for the Southern and West'ern Democrats are still dry in the . main. In addition to putting over his gub- ‘ ernatorial candidate, Smith won a bilg victory In the state, for the four amendments to the state constitution ) which he warmly supported all carried, despite the fight on three of them &made by the Republicans under the ‘ direction of Senator Wadsworth, Rep- | resentative Ogden Mills and State Chairman Morris. These leaders of the G. O. P. in the state suffered considerable loss of prestige, for they are ‘accused of bungling the fight on the ; amendments. The only one the Repubi licans supported provides for a reform of the judiciary. Democrats scored another victory in New Jersey, where the issue was | | elearly prohibition and their candidate | for governor, A. Harry Moore, wet, de- | seated Arthur Whitney, dry, Repub- | lican and indorsed by the Anti-Saloon | league, by a plurality of about 40,000. | Immediately after learning of his elec- | tion Mr. Moore announced that as soon I as he was inaugurated he would begin l | a movement to have congress modify , I the Volstead law so as to permit the | manufacture and sale of beere and | light wines. ' , | Municipal elections In Indiana re- | sulted in victories for the Republicans ‘in Indianapoils, Terre Haute, Evaus-‘ | ville, Fort Wayne, Lafayette, Peru, | Elkhart, Crawfordsville, and several | other cities; with the exception of | Indianapolis, all these had been gov!Aemed by the Democrats for four years. Among the Hoosier cities won by the ’Democrats were South Bend, Marion | | and Richmond. i : : In a nominally non-partisan election | .| Boston, which has been controlled by l , | the Democrats for sixteen years, was l captured by the Republicans, who elected Malcolm E. Nichols mayor. | The Ku Klux Klan figured prom- | inently in two elections, and broke | even. It supported J. R. Duvall, who ! was elected mayor of Indianapolis; | but Charles Bowles, its candidate for I mayor of Detroit, was decisively | beaten by John W. Smith, the present ' I executive. T | COL. WILLIAM MITCHELL’'S court madrtial now promises to be a long , drawn out affair. On Monday of last | week the prosecution completed its | presentation of proof that the colonel | had said the things he is accused of '. | saying, and the defense, in cross ques- | tioning the witnesses, was In the main . satisfied to elicit admissions from , army officers that Mitchell’s state- | ments had not caused insubordination or lack of discipline so far as they | knew. Then the prosecution rested | its case, and next day the defense | asked and obtained adjournment to | the following Monday in order that it | might have opportunity to confer with ' the prosecution as to what witnesses the prosecution would agree that the | defense might summon. General | Howze, presiding, was indignant at the . delay and_ scored the prosecution for | it, but could not deny the request for adjournment. Colonel * Mitchell and Congressman Reid, his chief counsel, spent the reoo Rie e - Want United States I “ to Lead in Aviation | Washington.—Creation of a bureau | i f 0F civil aeronautics in the Department I . | of Commerce with powers to regulate | and promote all eivil and commercial | flying in the United States forms the , | central recommendation of the com- | mittee on civil aviation, which was ap- | pointed by the department and the American engineering council last June to study the question.

'mainder of the week preparing a new list of charges and ecriticisms which the colonel will make and a tremendously long recital of details with which he will attempt to sustain them. Colonel Mitchell wants to call 71 witnesses, Including admirals, generals, technicians, flyers, and members of congress, the secretaries of war, navy, and agriculture, Maj. Eddie Rickenbacker, Lowell Smith, Reed Landis of Chicago, Donald MacMillan, the Arctic explorer, Admiral Sims, and Mrs. ‘Laasdowne. “The whole defense,” sald Mr. Reid, “will be that Colonel Mitchell spoke for the good of the country and with pure intent. That it was necessary that he speak we shall prove by the conditions which we shall uncover I\\ detail. We shall not withdraw a hair’'s breadth from our position that all Colonel Mitchell said was and s true, and that more which he now is going to say was and is true.” I B I NATIONAL COMMANDER MCQUIGG of the American Legion presented to President Coolidge that organization’s national legislative pro- | gram, which includes provision for a universal draft of all the country's man power and resources in time of war. The legislation asked would give | the President control of transportation | materials together with farm products ~and their prices. It would provide 'that there would be no slackers and 'no profiteers in case of another war. I Other legislative recommendations include provision for medical treatment and adjusted compensation for certain classes of disabled men now excluded under the law; the creation of a medical corps in the veterans’ bureau and construction of 2,000 additional beds In veterans' fireproof hospitals, ITALY'S debt funding mission arrived in Washington and at the first weeting with the American commission Count Volpi set forth his country's sacrifices in the war and her present financial troubles. Subcommittees are studying Italy's capacity to pay and an early agreement on the terms for settleinent of the $2,135,000,000 debt is eXpected. Resumption of negotiations concerning the French debt was promised by Premier Painleve in a ministerial declaration, but as his government wuas likely to be upset at any time because of Socialist defection there is some doubt about the debt matter. If the new Painleve cabinet does not fall it is believed Senator Henri Beranger will come to Washington to try to succeed where M. Caillaux failed. The Painleve ministry obtained a vote of confidence at the opening session of the chamber of deputies by the narrow margin of 221 to 189, the 103 Socialists refraining from voting and a number of the premier’s political foes supporting him only temporarily. FRANCE’S troubles in Syria are in- - creasing, for though the Druses were defeated at Damascus and elsewhere, the Bedouin bandits are growing more active. One of their leaders, Bakry Bey, has proclaimed a Syrian republic, with himself as president, and is said to be trying to capture the city of Homs in order to establish a provisional government which can appeal to the League of Nations. Damascus is full of French troops and guns and is thoroughly barricaded, and thousands of its residents are fleeing. Last week American Consul Knabenshue at Beirut summoned to that port the two American destroyers that were at Alexandria, although he said there was no immediate danger to Americans there or in Damascus. RIZA KHAN, who had been premier and dictator of Persia for two years, now sits on the throne of that country as King Pahlavi having yielded to the requests of leaders of all parties, big land owners and certain ecclesiastics. Thereupon the mejliss or parliament formally deposed Ahmed Mirza, the shah, and abolished the Kadjar dynasty, which had ruled over Persia since 1779. The crown was made elective and Riza promised to cnll a constitutional assembly to make the necessary changes in the basic law. His first acts were to liberate all political prisoners and to grant amnesty to the dethroned shah and all members of his family and his household. IHe also ordered the price of bread reduced through government subsidy. Drake, assistant secretary of com’merce, is chairman, declares that the | possibilities which it sees for the de- | velopment of commercial aviation in !rho United States can be realized through a definite and continuing program of government assistance for the industry. The lack of these and of a definite legal status and government control for the industry, it found, have been the chief causes for its failure to keep pace with development in Europe. In addition to its function of regulating air navigation, lincluding -

There was only slight opposition to the accession of Riza, and the crown prince left the country. ' So much information is given in cen- | sored dispatches from Teheran. But {rom other sources it is gathered that ‘ Riza’s coup d'etat was inspired by ! British influence and that. he forced the parliament to take the action de- | tailed above, after which the legis- | lators were compelled to flee for their lives by Riza's hired gunmen. Shah Ahmed Mirza, who has been spending most ¢f nis time in Paris, was in the hands of a party in Persia that was | in close touch with the Russian bol- | shevists, while Riza has been friendly with the British. The whole affair is | really a development of the struggle ! between Russia and England for con- E trol over the oil fields of Persia and | the routes to the Far East. The new | government indorses the American ! financial mission headed by Dr. Arthur | | Millspaugh. ] I o ! ’ DRYS from all parts of the coun- | try gathered in Chicago for the | biennial convention of the Anti-Saloon | | league. Wayne B. Wheeler, chief I | ecounsel, In his report said in sub- | stance: “Prohibition enforcement has } | raised scores of puzzling problems. | | We have helped solve them. The wets | | have blasted leak after leak in the | prohibition dam. We have helped | close them and to mop up the puddles | they created. i i “We have given our aid to the adop- | tlon of new laws, the securing of court decisions and the support of adminis- | | trative action In doing these things. | : “It has been an uphill fight but the | i fight has heen less significant than the | fact that we have moved up the hill | steadily. No similar policy of government has ever shown a more continuous, constructive gain. “The active opposition of the wets s ' significant testimony that the law lis ‘ far from being a dead letter. Instead it is a red letter law.” Mr. Wheeler outlined three measures which would be urged on congress, One is placing all prohibition agents under civil service; the second | is increasing the penalties for violation of the national prohibition law; | the third is for deportation of aliens | convicted of violating the prohibition or narcotic acts. ‘ I Among the speakers at the conven- | tion were Andrew J. Volstead, who !('nllvd attention to certain provisions | in the law that are overlooked by the ! !murts and enforcement officers, and | Rear Admiral Billard, who told about | the coast guard's warfare on the rum | fleets and smugglers. l AGRERMENTS under which the I conductors and trainmen are | working expire on December 31, and it seems likely that the two brother- | hoods will demand a return to thel war time scale of wages, or an in- | crease of 7 per cent over present rates. The grand lodge officers and general . chairmen representing the men on | Western roads already have approved | such a demand, and those of the East- ‘ ern and Southern lines are expected to | take the same action. l TARIPF‘ autonomy for China was‘ | accepted in principle by the in: | ternational customs conference in Pek- ‘ ing, and the American delegation offered a plan for puttinz the principle ‘ into effect not later than January 1, 1929. Dr. C. 7. Wang for Chins pledged the abolition of the likin or‘ tax on interprovincial commerce be- | fore that date. A committee of the | conference is now framing interim measures. : THE house committee on ways and | means closed the hearings on tax reduction and is now busy determining 1 the total amount of the cut—probably s3oo,ooo,ooo—and drafting the new “ law. One of the last witnesses heard was Gen. L. C. Andrews, assistant sec- | retary of the treasury in charge ofi prohibition enforcement. He asked that the alcohol tax rate be cut in half to kill the illicit alcohol market, and that a special levy be imposed on cereal beverages so that the enforcement unit would have the right to | supervise the breweries and stop the I: wholesale flood of illegal beer. The committee voted to increase the exemption for single persons from SI,OOO to $1,500, and that for heads of families from $2,500 to $3,500. The 40 per cent surtax rate is to be cut to 120 per cent. | I 1 censing of pilots and inspection of | planes, the proposed bureau would be | authorized to *develop. establish, or | take over and maintain air routes and || air navigation facilities.” i Summarizing conditions in the in- '\ dustry, the report declared that “not- | withstanding past and present handi- | caps, the industry has survived and ' | made progress creditable under thel ' | adverse conditions it has encountered. | There is no doubt,” it added, “that un- | der really favorable conditions ltsl .| great possibilities will be realized.”

Paul Accused (vv. 1-9). l - Paul was now in the hands of Felix who determined to hear his case after‘ i his accusers had come from Jerusalem. | ~Ananias, the high priest, and elders came with Tertullus, perhaps a Ro“man barrister, who formgly made the ~accusation according to Roman law. | He began with flattery. He gave Felix | the fullest praise when he and all the | people knew that he lied, for Felix wns! one of the worst goverinors, destitute | of morals and justice. He h?ought a four-fold charge against Paul: l 1. “A Pestilent Fellow” (v. 0). | ~ This would indicate a fellow utterly | base and corrupt—a plague, | 2. An Inciter of Rebellion, a Mover | of Sedition (v. 5). | This they hoped would bring him in- | to conflict with the Roman power. ! 3. That He Was the Ringleader of | a Sect—a Schismatical Party—a Her- | etic (v. 5). I .~ This was designed to throw con-| tempt and suspicion upon the Chris- | tians, by this means to bring Paul into | ' deeper trouble. I| . 4. That e Had Profaned the Tem‘ple (v. 6). l ~ In this charge we see the wickedness | again, they wilfully suppressed facts. ; . 11. Paul's Defense (vv. 10-21). I i This is a splendid example of the | ' strength and dignity of a man whose | ' life is controlled by a noble purpose.i ' and who has nothing to conceal, and [ will not distort or suppress facts. ! I 1. Paul's Frankness and Courtesy | (v. 10). { | Flattery is entirely wanting. .He | | gave recognition of the fact that Felix | had been ruler of this people long | enough to be able to judge justly, nsi the habits and ways of the Jews were familiar to him; he then in a digni- | fied manner assumes that Felix wIll; render a just decision based on the| facts of the case. | 2. The Charge of Sedition Denied | (vv. 11-12). l | He flatly and scornfully denied this charge, showing its utter falsity since the time was too short, it being butif twelve dayvs since he went to Jeru- | salem, and half of that time had been | spent as a prisoner of the Romans. | His conduet while there disproved It.{ He disputed with no man in the tem- | ple, nor did he make any attempt to Incite the people in the city or in thei synagogue. He challenged proof of | these accusations. Since there were | no witnesses to prove the charge, theres was nothing more to be done. I 3. The Charge of Heresy (vv. 14-| 16). | | This he met by a concession and a denial. He admitted that he was of this “way” which they called heresy, | but denied that Christians were schis- | matics. He showed clearly that his actions were in keeping with the Hebrew I religion. I i (1) He worshiped the same God | (v. 14). ‘ (2) He fully believed in the same | | Scriptures (v. 14). | | (3) He had the same hope of a Imming resurrection of the dead (v. | 15). | | | He declared that he had as the prin-! ciple of life a conscience void of of-] ' sense before God and man. | | (4) The Charge of Sacrilege or Prof- | anation of the Temple (vv. 17-21). ' This charge he refuted by showing: (1) That he had come all the way :fmm Greece (v. 17), to worship atl | the feast. | ' (2) That he did not come up empty- i | handed but had brought alms for his | | nation (v. 17). I i (3) That there were not Cnmpetentl I witnesses present to testify of his be- | havior in the temple (v. 19). | l (4) By challenging his enemies to | testify as to his conduect in the counI cil (v. 20). | 111. Felix Trembles Before Paul [ (vv. 22-27). | This is a sort of a sequel to the Itriﬂ]. Wicked as Felix was, Paul’s | manner somehow won his favor, Ethongh he did not release him. His {sentence was indulgent imprisonment, which kept him free from his enemies | while under Roman protection. Felix | sent for Paul that he might hear of IChrlst from him. Paul behaved him- | self aright before these sinners in high |life. He reasoned of righteousness, Iself-t’rontml and of judgment to come, lhefore Felix and his sinful wife with 'such power that Felix was terrified, and declared that he would hear Paul | further at a convenient time., This |was a most flimsy excuse for not changing his life and granting justice I to Paul. ! God’s Word | The Bible has not come to the place in human interest which it occupies ' today because men have set their seal upon it, but because it has satisfied a "human need, and received the tribute lof a human faith. It is God's Word, I and men believe it. No book has been so attacked and persecuted in all the (azes. but it is. still the best seller on | the market.—The Methodist Protestant. } Crowning Victory Life’s crowning victory belongs to those who have won no brilliant battle, suffered no crushing wrong; who have figured in no great drama, whose sphere was obscure, but who have loved great principles midst small duties, nourished sublime hopes amid vulgar cares, and {illustrated eternal principles in trifles.—Newell Dwight Hillis.

000000000000000000000000 CC | ‘ \ WELL i DR. FREDERICK R. GREEN Editor of “HEALTH” 000000000000 COOOOOOOOOOOO (), 1926, Western Newspaper Unlon.) ; THE DEADLY FLY I FEW of us realize how completely I our ideas regarding flies have : changed. Those of us who are middle- - aged can remember that, as children, we were taught to look on flies as | harmless innocont little creatures. ' They were allowed to come into thel - house, to buzz around the kitchen, tot walk on the table, crawl on the food, % } both before and after cooking, fall into the baby’s milk and do as they pleased, without anyone being hnrrl-‘ fied or even annoyed by them. Chil-i dren were taught to sing “Baby Bye, there’s a fly, let us wateh him, you and l 1.” The ideal of benevolence and ‘ kindness was the man who “wouldn’t | even hurt a fly.” ' Few people then went to the trouble | ' to screen doors or windows, and thef I I were regarded as “fussy.” Hotel din- Il ilng rooms and restaurants, some ofl . them were provided with fly brushes, | ' worked by cords, to chase the flies off | the tables. Wealthy people, especial- | l Iy in the South had servants stand be- 5 | hind them at the dinner table and | | keep the flies away with long-handled | | fans. The farmer’s wife had a small i | bough cut off a tree, or a broom handle | l with long strips of newspaper tacked | ;on one end, to chase away the ﬂiesl i that came in to dinner from the barnQ,ynrd. the manure pile, the cesspool | | and the outhauses. I I We dian‘t know then what we know | now, that the fly is the most denger- ‘ ! ous wild animal in existence, that iti | allowed to breed and roam unche~Fed, | Ihe will eause more deaths than :he‘ '! lion or the man-eating tiger. ' We know now that the fly is not only l | the most dangerous but also the filth- | lest animal in existence, that it breeds | in filth and that it carries on its legs ; the germs of typhoid fever, diarrhea, | dysentery and cholera infantum. l The fly has no place in the kitchen, the dining room, the bedrooms, or any lpnrt of a clean, well-managed home. Every house, and especially every din- ! ing room, kitchen, storeroom and every I other place where food Is stored and ; handied, should be screened. In order | to keep out flies during the breeding Isenson. the screens should be put in | pluce early in the spring and kept on | until cold weather, f There are two times In the year, es- | pecially when flies, the few that get into the house, should be relentlessly | hunted, the early spring to prevent the | young flies from breeding, and the late | fall to prevent the old flies from living | over until the next spring. These | times are when they are few and con- | spicuous, and each dead fly means the prevention of thousands later on. ! CLEANING UP THE OYSTER f E\’ERYBODY remembers the oyster ; scare last winter. Just in the mid- ! dle of the oyster season, epidemics of | typhoid fever developed in New York, | Chicago and several other large cities. | Investigation showed that the disease | was caused by polluted oysters. The | national and state health officers made | extended surveys. A conference called | at Washington, including heah offi- | cers and representatives of the oyster | dealers, found that the infection came i from two or three places on the At- | lantic coast where oysters taken from isalt-wmer beds were “planted” near the months of rivers to fatten. They | did fatten, but they fattened on sew- | age-polluted fresh water. These ty-l | phoid-laden oysters were mixed in ! tanks and cans with clean oysters, pol- { luting the lot. Distributed all over i the country, they caused a considerI able number of cases of typhoid. As soon as the facts were mﬂdel l known through the newspapers every- | | body stopped eating oysters. Nearly | . evervbody likes oysters, but nobndyl I wants oysters plus typhoid fever |g9rms. Os course, thorough cooking I would kill the germs, but even cooked | typhoid germs are not popular. As a result the bottom fell out of the oyster business and for the last half of the winter there was “nothing doing” in the oyster line. | | Now, that was tough on the oyster men, most of whom were marketing | i perfectly good oysters and were in ne | way to blame. But as was shown by ? the ripe olive scare a few years ago. ! when an article of food comes under I popular suspicion the public does not | digscriminate and the good suffer with | the bad. Last winter was not a very ‘ happy time for the man whose money I was invested in the oyster business. ' But oyster dealers learned that any | mistakes on the part of one hurt them ‘ all. So now the oyster dealers are the ’ most insistent on guarding the purity | of their goods. The United States pub- | le health service has worked out a Iprogmm for protecting oysters from | pollution and all oyster beds fromd | Cape Cod to Texas are to be guarded !by federal and state health officers | and by the oyster men themselves. Whenever purity In food means f business success and profits and pollu- . tion means losses and bankruptey, ' you don't need to worry about police . regulations. The industry will purify ! itself or it won't be an industry very long. ! So don’t worry about oysters this ' winter. Buy them and eat them They will probably be better and purer than ;'t.hey ever have been before. i R ) I Business Text i “Printer’s ink,” savs the Tifton Ga- " zette, “makes merchandise move faster }tlmn any other agency.
