DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS No withering hopes, while loving best Thy Father's chosen way; No anxious care, for He will bear Thy burdens every day—Anonymous Temperate living prolongs life. The railway strike is sidetracking the Prosperity Special. Thomas A. Edison gave the world great boon when he invented the phonograph. Ending of the great strikes will see the beginning of an era of great prosperity in this country. The Eighteenth Amendment is as much "the supreme law of the land" as is any other amendment or part of the United States Constitution. The phonograph is forty-five years old. But there is one in this block that doesn't sound a day over "sweet sixteen." There is slight hope of obtaining a jury verdict in the trial of Clara Phillips, accused of the Los Angeles "hammer murder." There are a few old-fashioned, behind-the-times persons who have not a radio outfit. When films are improved, the public should show its appreciation by patronizing those pictures which are clean and wholesome. It should be remembered that a great many pictures now exhibiting are wholly unobjectable. CENTENARIAN ADVISES IN WISE MANNER Living to be 108, Samuel de Grossky of Chicago, passed into eternity. leaving some good maxims behind him. He advised his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to be temperate in eating and drinking and in all habits; and "above all else be faithful to your religion." Perhaps no other course in life would contribute so measurably and surely to onlgevity as would the simple formula given by this aged man. Temperance in eating, drinking and in all things—this is the very quintessence of health-promotion. Many a life is wrecked by overeating or eating improper, indigestible food at unseasonable hours. Many a life has been ruined by intemperance in various forms. At the very foundation of long life must be temperance and moderation. "Above all else be faithful to your religion." There is that in religion which promotes longevity. It produces serenity of spirit, equanimity, tranquility, lively hope, peace and sense of security. These things reset upon the body and foster its health. The religious person has in his or her religion a panacea, as it were, for bodily ills. REVOLUTIONARY MOVE IN BRAZIL QUELLED There has been a brief but bloody revolutionary outbreak in Brazil. President Pessoa is very unpopular with the masses and his government is gravely accused. The rebellion arose in the state of Pernambuco, where President Pessoa attempted to install Lima Castro as governor, in the face of election returns. The in- There are a few old-fashioned, behind-the-times persons who have not a radio outfit. When films are improved, the public should show its appreciation by patronizing those pictures which are clean and wholesome. It should be remembered that a great many pictures now exhibiting are wholly unobjectiveable. They are engaging in armed uprisings in Brazil to settle political grievances. That bloody process should be left to other less enlightened portions of the globe. There is no valid excuse for armed insurrection in this western world. Relief for the taxpayers should engage the attention of every national and state legislator and county and municipal authorities. The burdens of taxation are heavy at best. Whenever relief can be given, it should be forthcoming. Majorities are not always right and minorities are not always wrong. The voice of the majority is not always the voice of God. And yet, in a republic, the voice of the majority must rule. Minorities serve good purpose, however, in holding majorities to the straight and narrow path. For with an alert minority, the majority, in politics, must make a good record or else be turned into a minority itself at some subsequent election. REVOLUTIONARY MOVE IN BRAZIL QUELLED There has been a brief but bloody revolutionary outbreak in Brazil. President Pessoa is very unpopular with the masses and his government is gravely accused. The rebellion arose in the state of Pernambuco, where President Pessoa attempted to install Lima Castro as governor, in the face of election returns. The insurrection was suppressed, after hard fighting. But Brazil seems to be seething with political discontent and another armed uprising may occur. These armed revolutionists seen wholly out of place on the Western Hemisphere. In republics so far advanced as are those of North and South America, the rule of the people does not call for armed force. There is always the ballot-box, and the legislative branch of government to hold in check the executive, should that department of government become autocratic and usurpational. The ballot, and not the bullet, is the proper means of effecting revolutions in these American republics. Bloody uprisings are inconsistent with American ideals. They are not required to make whatever wholesome, salutary reforms may be needed in government. Thomas A. Edison has lived to see the phonograph which he invented become a source of pleasure, entertainment and cultural uplift in hundreds of thousands of homes.

Cantaloupes are jest like women—we kin thump 'em an' lift 'em, an' equeeze 'eb, but we can't tell a blamed thing about 'em till it's too late.

PER: "The bobbed hair craze is creating a big demand for switches. Hair, not hickory." PENALTY Martin Smith, a "lifer" at Sing Sing, drops dead of heart disease. He had served 14 years of his sentence. During that time he never had a visitor at the prison. There is tragedy for you greater than any created in the imagination of Eugene Sue or Maupassant. The criminal's greatest penalty is loneliness—compulsory solitude. In jail or out, he lives under cover, his soul traveling through life alone without that priceless joy—human confidences. Now that you have got through laughing at Uncle Warren's "invitation" to the coal men to re-open their mines, do you remember when Henry Ford "invited' the Allies and Central Powers to quit fighting? Things might be worse these summer days. Suppose you lived in China, where they call anyone a Dude who take a bath.
