Or others, that we are not always strong— That we are ever overborne with care— That we should ever weak or heartless be, Anxious or troubled—when with us is prayer, And joy, and strength, and courage are with Thee! —Richard C. Trench. STATESMANSHIP Some one has defined a statesman as one who understands God's plan, reads aright the enigma of his age, and successfully co-operates in achieving the divine purpose. Before the political party conventions this year a certain magazine made the charge that "there is not a single man mentioned by the press of either party that is not mediocre." There are those who are just as learned and just as discerning as the writer of that editorial who would hold a different opinion as to the statesmanship of the president and some of those who were candidates for office. But it is all too true that many of our statesmen are only politicians, they cannot measure up to the definition of a statesman, they are too small to see, in their true relationship, all the elements of the questions that confront them, they cannot understand how history has had a bearing on the present complicated problems of the world and how the solution of them will affect all ages, all mankind. They see only with the eyes of today, the petty concerns of the day. There is too much of self in their decisions. We need more statesmen who will take for their own the motto of Grover Cleveland, "A public office is a public trust," or of President Hayes, "He serves his party best who best serves his country." We need more men with Roosevelt's fighting honesty, Lincoln's love of humanity, Woodrow Wilson's vision. But all of these men were misunderstood and disparaged, libeled and slandered. And it may be that some of those who are being judged now are doing their utmost to co-operate in the divine plan and that their efforts will bear fruit for good. It may be that the time will come when we shall be able to see more clearly their aims and accomplishments, and more deeply appreciate their statesmanship.

"On the debt aside, ye with Germany in the lea cannot use direct action motto of Grover Cleveland. "A public office is a public trust," or of President Hayes, "He serves his party best who best serves his country." We need more men with Roosevelt's fighting honesty, Lincoln's love of humanity, Woodrow Wilson's vision. But all of these men were misunderstood and disparaged, libeled and slandered. And it may be that some of those who are being judged now are doing their utmost to co-operate in the divine plan and that their efforts will bear fruit for good.

Be as ready and willing to say something good of your fellow-beings as you are to say something evil. Reverses in life are disciplinary, and make for ruggedness of character. Strong character is not developed by easy, luxurious living. BILLY WHISKERS BY FRANCES TREGO MONTGOMERY "I really don't see why you children don't behave. You have done nothing but get into mischief and cause us trouble ever since we left home. I wish we had not brought you! Any one would think you never had any bringing up. And now to try to take a sweet little baby's dinner away from it! I am ashamed of you! Besides, now none of us can take a bath on that nice sandy beach. We shall have to find another place, which won't be very easy, since the life-guards have seen us." "I know where there is a nice little lake, mamma," piped up one Twin. "I saw it as we came along—right over there where you see that high bridge." "Very well. We will all go over there, for I feel very dirty and tired. It will both clean us and rest us to have a nice cool bath." So the goats all trotted over to one of the lagoons in the park, which the Twins had called a lake, and they plunged into the water. They had a fine time and enjoyed themselves, much to the discomfort of some stately swans that were greatly upset to have strange goats come dashing into their private place. They began to hiss, which set all the ducks quacking and the sea lions to barking. This commotion soon brought a park guard to the spot to see what was the matter. When he discovered a lot of goats in the water he walked down to the edge of the pond to wave his club and shout at them. "Hear the old goose!" said one of the Twins. "He is shooting at us! I guess he thinks we are a kind of duck!" "Let's baa at him, and tell him what an old goose he is," said the other. When the goats did not leave the water or pay any attention to him, the guard began throwing stones at them. At last one hit Billy Junior on the head. This was too much for him. The guard might throw stones all he wished, but hitting Billy Junior with them was quite another thing. He wheeled and swam for shore, going straight for the guard, who stood still, not knowing Billy Junior was bent on butting him. Indeed Billy Junior did butt the guard so hard he sent him flying over the high iron fence that surrounds the sea lions' pool and rock cave where they lived. He fell ker-splash into the water, astride a papa sea lion as he went swimming round and round his rock home. When the lion felt something alight on his back he dove to the bottom of the pool in a flash, taking the guard with him. You remember Billy Junior had butted the guard into the sea lions' pool where he lit on the back of one of the animals. But no human being could stick on the back of a slippery sea lion, and the guard soon came up to the surface of the water blowing and spouting like a porpoise.

"The big question of the day is—Shall Germany enter the world parliament?" he said recently. The Frenchman's heart swells with indignation at the idea of Germany going to sit side by side with France on a footing of equality while our victims still bleed, our widows still wear mourning, and our orphans still weep. We understand those sentiments. But we must also understand the irresistible force of a fact. The war is over. Peace succeeds with its necessities and obligations. We are condemned in the interests of peace to resume normal, courteous relations with our former enemies. The only question is what form these relations ought to take. Can Germany Be Excluded? "Like the angel with flaming word barring the sinning man from Paradise, you wish to bar Germany forever from the Palace of the Nations. Ask yourself a question—can you do it? Theovenant says that a state shall be admitted by a two-thirds vote. Can France, alone, keep Germany on the other side of the doorsill?rance, you will tell me, can always reunite around her more than a third of the 54 states of the assembly. Generally speaking, that is correct. Often we can get large majority to support us. but in this case, let us make no mistake. The League of Nations seeks catholicity. It wants universality. If France has no very clear reasons to oppose Germany's unity, she may be defeated. That would be serious. It is a fight that we would not make. "Good politics consists often in choosing the lesser of two evils. The admission of Germany may have disadvantages. It will also have advantages."

His sleeping sap did move, Decking each naked branch with green To show her that her look was seen! (Alas, poor lover!) But Summer, laughing fled. Nor knew he loved her! 'Tis said. The peach tree sighed. And soon he gladly died; And Autumn, weary of the chase. Came on at Winter's sober pace. (O careless lover!) —Margaret Deland. What A Woman Should Do When She Is Weak and Nervous Thousands of Women Have Surprisingly Increased Their Strength, Energy and Endurance In Two Weeks Time by This Simple Experiment. On account of the terrible weakness, nervousness and alarming symptoms which are often produced by iron starvation of the blood, frequently the sufferer never suspects the real cause of her trouble, but thinks she has some other alliment. As a result of iron starvation you may suffer from headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath or heart palpitation, pain across the back, loss of memory, weak will power, melancholy or the "blues", disturbed digestion, loss of appetite, sleepless nights, night sweats and so on. In such cases do not wait until you go all to pieces and collapse in a state of nervous prostration but eat more spinach and green vegetables and take organic iron like Nuxated Iron with them for a while and see what a difference it makes. But be sure the iron you take is organic iron and not metallic iron which people usually take. Metallic iron is iron just as it comes from the action of strong acids on small pieces of iron, while organic iron like Nuxated Iron is like the iron in your blood and like the iron in spinach, lentils and apples. Beware of substitutes. Look for the name "Nuxated" on every package and the letters N.I. on every tablet. Your money will be refunded by the manufacturers if you do not obtain perfectly satisfactory results. For sale by all druggists.

TAGGAR USED CAR DEPARTMENT 802 North Los Angeles THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1924 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying NON-VOTING MENACE TO COUNTRY—Sacramento Bee A presidential election is coming in November. Already newspapers throughout the country are prophesying that half the nations electors will probably not vote, and deploring what they call the "menace to democracy" which this non-voting constitutes. It is a menace, and the citizen who does not vote is not a goddid citizen. So much can hardly be disputed. Yet when one has said that one has not disposed of the problem, which is: Why don't people vote? Probably the majority who refrain from voting do so for the very human reason that they are not sufficiently interested in the possible results of a given election. And at the present time they are not interested chiefly because they feel that there is not enough difference between the two major parties to make a vote for either candidate decisive of anything important. Of course, the citizen who feels that way ought, according to the best ideal of citizenship, to weigh the parties carefully and, if he feels they are both evils, vote anyway for one he considers the lesser evil. This is a very high ideal. It is a good deal more human to refrain from doing anything which takes so much trouble as that, and seems of such little use. But, high ideal or not, it is something that has got to become a much more common practice than it is at present before democracy will work the way it should, and the way most of us, voters or non-voters, would like it to work. The whole amount of it is that democracy is itself a very high ideal, and like all such takes some trouble in the getting and keeping. And this question of voting or not voting is largely one of how high the individual values democracy. ON NEW ACQUAINTANCES It should be borne in mind that, in their intercourse with others, people are like the moon; they show you only one of their sides. Shopenhauer was thinking of this when he observed that Every man has an innate talent for mimicry—for making a mask out of his physiognomy, so that he can always look as if he really what he pretends to be; and since he makes his calculations always were within the lines of his individual nature, the appearance he puts on suits him to a nicety, and its effect is extremely deceptive. "He dons his mask whenever his object is to flatter himself into some one's good opinion," Schopenhauer continued; "and you may give just as much attention to it as if it were made of wax or cardboard, never forgetting that excellent Italian proverb: 'non e si tristo cane che non meni la coda' (There is no dog so bad but he will wag his tail.)" The moral of this, as emphasized by Schopenhauer, is that He had risked his life to rescue the fair maid from a watery grave, and, of course, her father was duly grateful. "Young man," he said, "I can never thank you sufficiently for your heroic act. You incurred an awful risk in saving my only daughter." "None whatever, sir," replied the amateur life-saver; "I am already married." A New York clubman, at a dinner on Fifth avenue, was talking about the high prices in Europe since the war. "Yes, they are high sometimes, but most of it is travelers' tales. That reminds me that I heard a good one recently. It was a tale about Ceylon." "An American had just arrived at a Colombo hotel and the chambermaid said to him, as she put his bedroom in order: 'Have you asked at the office for your frog, sir!' "'My frog?' gasped the American. 'What do you mean?' "'The frog to kill your cockroaches, sir. Make them give you a young, lean, muscular frog, a good jumper; one that will clean out the cockroaches thoroughly. Then, afterward, when the cockroaches are all gone, you must go down to the office again and get your snake.'" "'Snake? Holy Moses- Why a snake?' "A snake to eat the frog sir!" replied the maid. "'And then, as soon as the frog is eaten, you must get out of bed and kill the snake with a club; after that you'll be sure of a good night's rest."
