C.C.Hall REPUBLIC IS VICTORIOUS IN GERMANY The People of Germany have expressed themselves overwhelmingly in favor of the republican form of government: This expression was registered in the general elections on Sunday. The republic was endorsed much more strongly than the monarchy. It is significant, however, that the party and the elements which stand for restoration of monarchial form of government and the return of the Kaiser and repudiation of the Dawes plan did not lose any at the polls, but gained as compared with former pollings. The political divisions in Germany, it would seem, will pivot around the question of republic or monarchy for that country. The big victory for the republic in the polling just held carries with it the pledge that Germany will accept the Dawes plan and observe its provisions. This is encouraging for the cause of peace and economic rehiliation in Europe. While the monarchists are yet strong in Germany, it is reasonable to suppose that, as the years go on, and as the benefits of republican rule become manifest to the German people, support of the republic will become stronger and the monarchists will lose strength correspondingly.

LEAD MAGAZINES Newspapers have become the favorite media for national advertising—that is, for firms and corporations that advertise their products in all parts of the country. The Bureau of Advertising of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association finds that sixty-one of the largest users of country-wide advertising space invested more money in newspaper advertising than in magazine ads. There is the Victor Talking Machine Company, for example. This concern invested $1,500,000 in newspaper advertising last year, and $1,142,0000 in magazine advertising. The American Tobacco Company spent $1,700,000 on newspaper advertising during the year. No stronger commentary could be made on the effectiveness of newspaper advertising, both locally and nationally, than the fact that the greatest business and industrial establishments in the world spend millions annually for newspaper space to exploit their products throughout the Nation. The newspaper, these shrewd men of affairs know, is the most universally read and the most keenly read of all advertising media. It is the only medium in instant and constant touch with the public. It goes into homes and offices and to the man on the street at the very time when best business impressions are made, and it carries the resultful influence, prompting the buying impulse and guiding the buyer by its ads. The great efficacy of the newspaper ad. in the local field, as well as in national advertising, is demonstrated day by day. There is no substitute for newspaper advertising—no other form of business exploitation worthy to be compared with it for results for the advertiser. Today's misfortune may be the foundation for tomorrow's fortune. SHALL VOTING BE MADE COMPULSORY The non-voter was more in evidence this year than ever before. The total popular vote; it seems, will not exceed 27,000,000. This represents only about 45 per cent of the eligible vote. In 1920 about 49 per cent of the qualified electors voted. This year special efforts were made, all over the country, to swell the vote. And yet, fewer than half of the qualified electors went to the polls. California, happily, did much better than the country as a whole, casting more than 60 per cent of the registered vote. There is a menace that must be recognized and dealt with without delay. This country is being governed by a minority of its citizens. The voting minority is dwindling, while the non-voting majority is increasing. Shall voting be made compulsory? Shall the penalty for deliberate refusal to vote be made disenfranchisement, either temporary or permanent? It would seem that something drastic must be done. But to undertake to compel citizens to vote would be tantamount to admitting a serious failure and a vital defect in popular government. Certainly, every menas of persuasion and of educational training in the importance of voting should be exhausted before resorting to penalizing the non-voter. The peril, however, is very real, and is not to be ignored. PARAGRAPH (By Robert Quillen) If only our forefathers could see what's left of the freedom they fought for. Never speak of "our feathered folk." In this age it reminds people of tar. It may be love that makes a gift up a $30 job, and it may be laziness. It is humiliating to argue with a fool. He doesn't know which one is the fool. Another reason why so many people are acquitted is because they are not guilty. Yet occasionally you meet an adult who hasn't been either operated on or shot at. A "creation" is a feminine hat that costs $20 more than it worth. They've done about everything for filling stations except to call them "Ye gasse shoppes." The idea of going in for a work court where we haven't enough time do our home work! The effort to exterminate our wild life seems easy for everybody except the grand jury. It is estimated that 87 per cent of those who pity themselves haven't much else to do. Minute men: "No taxation without representation." Dollar-year-men: "No taxation without secrecy." They say Americans are no thorough; but, darn it, one can read all of a Sunday paper.

Try this medium WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS GENERAL COUNT CADORNA First an heroic figure in the World War and then a tragic one thru an unfortunate situation. General Count Cadorna has come back to his own in Italy. Of all the acts of the Mussolini regime there has been none more popular both at home and abroad than the reparation made to Count Cadorna for the obloquy heaped upon him after the disaster sustained by the main portions of his army at Caporetto in October, 1917. It may be remembered that the then Italian Prime Minister Orlando was seized with panic, and refusing to accept the plea that Cadorna had not only arrested the retreat of his troops, and had established them in an absolutely impregnable position on the banks of the Uiva—arguments advanced by both Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Sir William Robertson—he then and there deprived Cadorna of his command, placed him on the retired list and supplanted him as generalissimo by his friend, Gen. Diaz, who reaped all the fruits of the ultimate victory on conclusion of the armistice. And now, seven years after Cadorna's dismissal from his command amidst general obloquy, reparation has come. King Victor Emmanuel, on the nomination of Mussolini, has created for the first time in Italian history the rank of Field Marshal, and has bestowed it not only on Gen. Diaz, but also on Gen. Count Cadora, thus restoring him to active service, since Field Marshals in Great Britain and in France, as well as formerly in Russia, in Germany and in what was once the Dual Empire, have the privilege and prerogative of remaining on the active list on full pay for the remainder of their lives, without regard to the statutory age limit.

No cooking HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" BATHING MINERAL WATER BATHS can be had at natural mineral springs, where the water issues from the ground at different temperatures. These waters contain different kinds of alkalis, and their curative effect depends entirely upon the fact that some acidity of the body is counteracted by both bathing in and drinking the water. Its good effects are usually only temporary, and precisely the same effects could be secured if the bather would use his own bath tub and simply add epsom salts and bicarbonate of soda to the water. I do not especially recommend this as a treatment, but in some cases of rheumatism, and kindred endures, relief will often be found in an immersion in warm water to which has been added either epsom salts or soda, or both. These baths are only to be taken as an emergency relief, and should not be continued for any length of time. SITZ BATHS are taken in either hot or cold water by sitting in about seven or eight inches of water in the bath tub. The hot sitz bath is the one most commonly used to relieve congestion in any of the pelvic organs, such as is present in cystitis, inflammation of the womb or ovaries, or in prostratic troubles. The water should be made as hot as it is possible to endure, and the bath should last from five to ten minutes, or, at any rate, until the skin becomes quite red. The feet may be kept in the water at the same time as the hips, but the other parts of the body should not be wet if you wish to secure the local effect through the pelvis. (To be continued.) WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1924 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying DIPLOMACY ON MERIT BASIS—San Diego Union If rumor is accurate, President Coolidge is to ggt much credit for inaugurating a much-needed policy in the American diplomatic service. He is said to be considering the idea of appointing diplomats on the basis of fitness, rather than that of past political usefulness. This will not by any means be an easy thing to do, and in the present state of affairs it is likely that any President who tries it will make individual mistakes; but if President Coolidge is actually considering this policy, as a policy, he is on the verge of a considerable contribution to our foreign service. America has generally been lacking in trained diplomacy, for the reason that a man studying to be a diplomat seldom had time enough to build up a political record that would bring him an appointment, while the man whose political services warranted one of these "plums" was usually a man who regarded an ambassadorship as nothing more than reward. As a result, American representatives abroad have with a few notable exceptions—lacked the specialized ability that would enable them to hold their own in the somewhat devious ways of the old diplomacy. The so-called "new diplomacy" may make this lack somewhat less dangerous—but the new diplomacy is not here yet, by any means. In the course of the predicted shakeup, President Coolidge maw—and probably will—make mistakes in certain individual choices, but if he can hold to the general policy of deciding appointments by standards of fitness for the diplomatic service, he will have done much for American diplomacy. The next step in this needed reform is the business of providing our envoys with financial allowances that will open the foreign service to others than wealthy, retired citizens. That step is up to Congress. "The language of friendship is not words but meanings. It is an intelligence above language.

It is an intelligence above language.

"The violence of love is as much to be dreaded as that of hate. When it is durable it is serene and equable. Even its famous pains begin only with the ebb of love, for few indeed are lovera, though all would fain be. "It is one proof of a man's fitness for Friendship that he is able to do without that which is cheap and passionate. A true Friendship is as wise as it is tender. The parties to it yield implicitly to the guidance of their love, and know no other law nor kindness. The Friend is a necessarius, and meets his friend on homely ground; not on carpets and cushions, but on the ground and on the rocks they will sit, obeying the natural and primitive laws. They will meet without any outery, and part without loud sorrow. Their relation implies such qualities as the warrior prizes; for it takes a valor to open the hearts of men as well as the gates of cities." Sam Seelig Holiday Suggestions!
