A Chicago fellow by the name of ^

unborn baby. Another charge was,f<
that he had killed a tramp he had,*

The housing situation is said to be. ja
easing up throughout the country,'
lgat nobody can explain exactly where |
the folks moving frop the cities are'
going.If they go to other towns they F
merely undo the de-housing situation
p T In the latter. The only explanation
seems to btf?that thousands of fami- ^
lies that moved to large cities and ?
towns during the work period are ca
moving book to the smaller towns?;TJ
where they will be happier and in the W
long run save Just as much money. ai
JIVING COTS TUMBLING. jtb
|th
Dispatches from throughout thejn<
'country indicate that living costs are jm
continuing to tumble. The surprising j
thing about it is that people are' tj
surprised.
We have had walls for several m
|. years past regarding "tygB pricesT" ^
Now that they are being reduced we ^
are hearing wails about closed fac-in
Uories.
? is impossible to readjust trade j
to a peace-time normal basis without er
readjusting money at the same time. h,
T^e dollar Is getting scarcer, and if co
It is a good thing for the county in m
the long run to have lower prices^1'
based on a more valuable dollar, ^
there should bp no wailing about i ljj
We hear much of the efforts of!
large ahtomobile plants closing down !
Yet it was only a matter of six month -1
or so when stories were current c ^
the high wages being paid in thes ar
plants. Now if the workingmen wh tb
are out of work had held onto these ly
low-priced dollars which were ai
easily made they would not have any ^
thing lo worry about when the dollc. til
r a they possessed went up in price. cs
-Cost price to consumers * dep?*'Hw
-upon the cost of production. There
is tie legerdemain about it. The c~ .L<
>rice to consumers is being reduce " jtfl
in a large number of commoditier \yj
and before the price-drop is over'ca
practically everything will be affect- P<
?d. That is what everybody wanted. |n<
Th6 trouble is that some street cor ' fe
ner economists expected to see a cc d<
tinuance of sky-high * wages and lo* la
prion levels. This is impossible. It|b(

a week ago that brought to

jems that a recent ^law enacted by

On the business street, merchants,

were' playing their respective
-ades not dreaming that a near tragiy
was upon them.
About 8 p. m. at a stow pace an
atomobtle with top lowered came

iet a town official who was hailed

ack home-for his gun. Turning back
xe party moved slowly along until
alted by the policemen. In answer to
rdec a *load of small shot entered
is leg above his k?ee. Then a generl
fussilade followed and the panic
as on. Lights went out and it was
rats'to your holes," in earnest. The
arbere left their victims with soap
lids all over their faces and ran for

renchman Says Americans a Waste'
fal People.
(British writers in numbers have
*en looking this country over - and
>cording their impression of America.
Now comes a Frenchman, Louis
homas, who writes for the Paris
eekly, L'Opinlon.
A poet had it right about the desi-r
>ility of a people seeing themselves
i they appear to others. So, even,
ough one does not agree with all
at's said by these travelers, there Is
> lack of interest in their contents.
"American wastefulness is.a stupeing
thing to Frenchmen/' says
lojmas.
"We are thrifty, and even, we
ust admit, avaricious. Our experts,
ho co-operated with them in war
iterprises, found them abnominably
isteful, indifferent to costs, and
lprovident to the last degree."
The reason is simple, says Thomas.
"Americana are gamblers!
"They do not want to make * mod-J
ate profit, a steady, regular, perips
mediocre income, but, on the
mtrary, to make a great deal of
oney in a very short time, to 'get
ch quick."
"They gamble at business?not at
>ulette or baccarat; but et is gamblg
al! the samp.*'
As for wastefulness:
"So many people there have made
eir money by chance, by good luck,
r a flash of imagination, and not
r the sweat of their brow, that they
e naturally wasteful and spendr
rift to an extent which we can hardimagine
in Europe.
"Everyone wastes, even "the poor,
iH nnrttfnilnrlv tho women, who. for
ie most part, do not seem to have
me to acquire the habits of economist
housekeeping possessed by the
omen of the Old World." '

exingtqp Dispatch - News.
We knew it. A subtle intuition
ild us, vOr maybe it was leading Geo.
'arren's speeches last summer that
sused us to get a prophetic view)int.
But however, it may be, it was
)t hard, to foresee the drift of
rents. The next amendment to the
deral constitution will may be cram
)wn our throats a federal divorce
w. Propaganda to this effect has
*n going on for time; but awakled
interest in it is created by the
jpearance of the following article in
enry Ford's monthly, The Dearborn
[dependent:
With suffrage a fact we may exjct
to witness a recrudescence of
:tivity in the movement to amend
ie Constitution, wipe out the
Lried state laws on divorce, and
ibstltute Federal legislation thereir.
Divorce Itself is scarcely a greater
ril than the unsatisfactory state
ws that now permit persons to go
leir respective ways. Scandals of
ie divorce court are not uncomon
to the readers of daily newsipers,
but there can be no remedy
ir such conditions with the present
r&tew obtaining.
Our jurist recently said:
"I do not see why uniform laws
ii divorce are not as necessary as
niform bankruptcy laws. It would
e possible for the local courts to
iminister and handle divorce
ises just as naturalization work,
rovided for by Federal laws, is cared
on in local courts. When officers
>uld look up the case to be sure
lere is no collusion, and then the
ise could be tried in the regular
ay in the circuit court. It would
e possible to get after men who
move from poo state to another to
avoid paving alimony to their helpless
wives and children.'*
As suggested, it would introduce
a more serious note in marriage if
it were kno#n that the stern hand
;01" Uncle.Sam were raised to see
that justice was meted out impartially
to all.
And the pity is that sooner or later
we are going to have the uniform divorce
law. The drift is all that way.
'As to the fear, of stern old Uncle Sam
{it seems to have a slight deterrent effect
on moonshiners.' At the present
! term of the federal court in Columbia
J more than 200 cases are docketed for
] violation of the prohibition law.

ANY UGLY TEMPER
Cleanses the System, Purifies the
Blood, Stimulates the Stomach
and Tones Down the Temper.
Ever hear them say "Poor fellow?
;his liver is out of shape?" Maybe
I they say it of you when you feel blue,
! mean, despondent; and maybe they're
, right.
\A stomach out of order, a .sluggish
liver and a nagging indigestion or
dyspepsia surely will affect your
equilibrium. It is a reason rather
than an excuse for "flying off the
handle." '
Watch your feelings. When the early.
morning finds you mean and cross,
'think of your liver, kidneys and stom[ach.
They heed cleansing. Your digestion
needs assistance.
Stop your rash eating, regulate
your habits and help your stomach
and liver along with SarDraS, an
A-l Liver Kidney, Stomach and
Blood Tonic. Contain* no alcohol*
It is a scientific preparation of
medicinal roots and herbs' especially
iperpared to invigorate the liver and
kidneys, cleanse the .blood and digestive
system and help the stomach in
Performing its duty. A tablespoon before
each meal will do the the work.
Common laxatives only leave you in
worse condition than before. SarDraS
cleanses the stomach, liver and1 kidneys
and nature does the rest.
All good druggists and jobbers. ?
