JOHN ROBINSON DEAD. J

Former Circus Owner Dies at Maimi
Home. v
p
John F. Robinson, 'retired circus c
owner, died at his winter home, Maimi,
Fla., Saturday evening of chronic ti
bronchitis. He was 77 years of age. i*
Mr. Robinson had been subject to
bronchitis for a number of years, li
The last attack overtook him about
two years ago. He failed rapidly and b?
his advanced age proved a barrier to it

The body was sent to Cincinnati, jhi
Mr. Robinson was born November 01
4, 1843, in Linden, Ala., not two hundred
yards from his father's show. li<
At the age of 18 months he entered ai
the sawdust ring on a career as per- li
former which ultimately made him ni
one of the largest circus owners in
the world. At 18 years he had ac- ft
cumulated enough with the aid of his is
father to start on the road with a cir- si
cus of his own. This expanded until ta
after the Confederate war it became d
so cumbersome to transport about the m
rough country in wagons that Robin- b
son conceived the idea of carrying it
by train. b<
It was the first time a circus had U
traveled in cars. Today the John n<

Radkal
By Dr. Frank Crane
As a radical in good and regulax
itanding, with all my dues paid, and
vith a known and open record, and
laving often and publicly made full
:onfession of faith, I want to protest
igainst the various groups of loud
ellows who occasionally drop into
neeting and claim they are the only
eal radicals and that the likae of me
lo not belong.
Radical comes from radix or radish
>r something like that, meaning root,
md a radical, properly speaking, is
me who goes to the root of matters.
He is supposed not to stop at halfray
compromises, to lodge in no op?rtunism9,
and not put his faith in
atchwords and mob formulae.
That, in the language of Superinadent
Tobin of the Chicago schools,
t me.
I am a radical in religion, for I beeve
in nothing short of God.
I am a radical in Education, for I
jlieve in studying the child and bringig
out what's in him, and not making
im study a set curriculum sa to make
im twofold more a humbug than we
arselves.
I am a radical in politics, for I beeve
in democracy, in the U. S. A.,
ad in the people, and repudiate potical
parties?neither will I follow
ur be led by them.
I am a radical in social questions,
>r I believe that the social organism
a Growth, and that Socialists, Bolleviks
and other Utopian- tinkers are
ying to make something by their
umsy logic saws and theory hamlers
that can only be grown like a
ee.
I am a radical in taxation, for I
elieve in Single Tax as the only syson
which is based on honesty and
Dt robbery and crooked reasoning.
I am a radical in literature, for I

' believe there is mo sense in writhe
anything except for tke purpose o:
. having it read. Tedious, long, involv
- ed, inconclusive letters are of no us
I to me; neither is any sort of smar
i aleck literature or anything else writ
ten not to say something, but to sho\
t off.
i I am a radical in morals, for I be
lieve in the whole ten Commandments
; and not in the seventh alone; I be
! lieve that purity is based on intelli
; gence and not ignorance; and I be
lieve that most popular moralities ar
concerned neither with convention
and manners than with fundermenta
righteousness.
And inally my radicalism does no
make me superior, cranky, misunder
stood, and different; on the contrary
I it keeps me human and makes me lik
I nine-tenths of my readers, who ar
1 just as radical as I am,

1 Have Ym a Jelly Fish Job?
t
Soft jobs make ecft people.
i We gain strength by overcoming
forces that resist us. Things tha
t come easy never add anything to ou
, powers.
i Men find, as they look back, that i
was in solving the hard problems tha
they developed the ability to handle
the big job that came their way later
It's the principle of the carpenter1?
sandpaper.
If soft things took the roughness
off the board and transformed in intc
a smooth, polished desk top, furniture
makers would use velvet instead of
sandpaper.
If soft materials put a fine cutting
edge on a dull knife, the grinder would
u3? rubber instead of an emery wheel.
Things come easy to a jellyfish.
All he has to do is to float along in
the current of the ocean tides and absorb
the food around him. But he
never develops a backbone. Before an
enemy he is helpless.
A rich man's son may be given a job
in his father's establishment, but unless
he really knuckles down to work
he will never develop initiative, executive
ability, power of decision..
There have been thousands of English
statesmen, but none accomplished
more for the British Empire than Disraeli,
Queen Victoria's prime minister.
He was a Jew and to attain that office
Disraeli was obliged to combat
distrust, ridicule, envy and prejudice.
Overcoming these handicaps gave
strength. He was one of the outstanding
characters in English history.

t Meeting rebuffs and sharpening his I

The point is this:
The trymg, disagreeable things that
- confront usevery day are the sandpae
per and emery wheels of life.
s They wear the rocghaess off our
1 inexperience, sharpen our mental powers,
fit us to cope wi* harder probt
lems and enable uc to handle bigger
- responsibilities.
>, To remember this will help us to sae
e eur jobs in the right light,
e W<i are all inclined to feel, at times,
that our job is the most exasperating
in the world. It ha.3 more difficult
angles, more unpleasant features than
any we know of. We sigh for a softer
berth.
? But if, instead of seeking to avoid
t difficulties, we met them boldly, we
r would soon find ourselves growing in
a way that would greatly increase

1 York,May 1.?Several hogs, the ?
! property of John Darby, fanner living 3
' eight miles west of here wandered 9
away from home to a neighboring
' farm. 2
The following morning they returned.
They refused to eat corn and ?gg
gave every indication of being intoxicated.
I
Mrs. Darby had long suspected that |
a moonshine still was running on uic
adjoining farm. She tipped the ofTi- ,
cers off as a result of the "hog evidence."
A big distillery was located.

"Suicide By Inches" I
Thousands of people commit suicide by inches! I j
If you took minute daily doses of some poisonous drug, | I

of the poison made its action evident. I
Yet how many realize that poisonous substances arc I
formed constantly during digestion and the preparation jdHtf*!
of the food waste for elimination.
If the bowels act regularly and thoroughly, these poi- .
sons are eliminated. But if constipation exists, there 1 T
results stagnation of intestinal waste, germs multiply; i 1
and poisons are formed and carried by the blood to
every cell of the body.
The victim of self poisoning commits suicide by inches.
Pills, castor oil, laxative waters and salts only fore* and irritate
the bowels, and make constipation a habit. '
Nujol works on an entirely new principle.
Instead of forcing or irritating the system, it simply softens
the food, waste. This enables the many tiny muscles in the
walls of the intestines, contracting and expanding in their
normal way, to squeeze the food waste along so that it passes
naturally out of the system.
Nujol thus prevents constipation because it helps Nature
maintain easy, thorough bowel evacuation at regular intervals?the
healthiest habit in the world.
Nujol is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take. Try it.
Nujol is sold by all druggists in sealed bottles ooly,
bearing Nujol Trade Mark. Write Nujol Laboratories,
