Our true knowledge is to know our own ignorance. Our true strength is to know our own weakness. Our true dignity is to confess that we have no dignity, and are nobody and nothing in ourselves, and to cast ourselves down before the dignity of God, under the shadow of whose wings, and in the smile of whose countenance, alone, is any created being safe. Let us cling to our Father in Heaven, as a child, walking in the night, clings to his father's hand.—Charles Kingsley. PSYCHOLOGY GOOD FOR BUSINESS No expert survey and no intelligent discussion of the business and industrial conditions throughout the United States would be complete and convincing without allusion to the favorable psychological status of the American people today. They are in cheerful, hopeful, confident, expectant mood with reference to economic conditions and prospects. This national state of mind is one of the most powerful of all influences which are tending toward continuance of prosperous conditions and augmentation of prosperity. Too much stress cannot be placed upon the value and importance of a bright, confident psychologic status among the people. This is a tremendous factor in promoting business and industrial activity and financial comfortableness. When the people are cheerful and confident, they buy liberally. This promotes business and industry. When business and industry thrive, there is more employment, larger payrolls, more persons able to buy in great quantities, more money in banks and in circulation. When the people are confident, they put their money in bank—and this makes for financial stability and for abundance of money for loans for developmental purposes.

WYOMING HAS WOMAN GOVERNOR NOW Wyoming has the distinction of being the first state in the Union to induct a woman into office as Governor. Texas has a woman Governor-elect, but Wyoming had its inauguration ahead of the Lone Star State. Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross, widow of the late Governor Ross, becomes Governor. She is a woman of ability and the people of Wyoming have no misgivings with the powers and prerogatives of the governorship in her hands. Women holding high political office is no experiment, in this country. It has passed the experimental stage. Women have held offices of responsibility, where ability and tact are required, and they have made excellent showing—in some instances, brilliant. Nor has this holding of political office had the coarsening effect upon women that was predicted lugubriously, years ago, by opponents of equal suffrage. Women have adapted themselves to changed conditions. They have accepted the franchise with intelligence and with due appreciation of its importance and its significance.

When Two Million Women Agree— PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) When a cynic uses the word "civilized," he always means "naughty." A rear-vision mirror helps, but what most drivers need is fore-sight. Nobody is truly modest except those who don't know what modesty is. The objection to silver tongues is that they don't get down to brasstacks. "Craft aids dry sleuths," says a headline writer. Probably meant "graff." For that matter, what has become of the old-fashioned law-abiding citizen? Reading only 30 minutes a day, in one week you can finish a classic or a Sunday paper. A calm man is one who means at least half of what he says in an argument. One thing that makes modern children different is a different set of parents. It's a sad day for any wife when her husband begins to think about his duty to her. We are idealists, of course, but "prominent citizen" always means a possessor of jack. Men may come and men may go, but there's always some ass in the public eye. We refuse to be affected by the movie heroine's weeping, until it makes her nose red.

Harbord is playing a leading role in the expansion of radio and its establishment on a firm basis. Major Gen. Harbord was hale enough when he retired after 34 years service in the U.S. army to accept the presidency of the Radio Corporation of America. His genius as an organizer and executive made his services more valuable in "service with troops." For example, after having a brief opportunity to demonstrate his capacity in the field by leading the Marque Brigade to undying fame at Chateau-Thierry and later directing the successful operation of the famous Second Division in the Solosons offensive. General Harbord was appointed commander of the service of supply of the A.E.Y., a post that enabled him to prove his capacity as an organizer. James G. Harbord served nearly three years as a deputy boy after his enlistment in the Fourth United States Infantry in 1889. The fact that he was appointed quartermaster sergeant of his regiment while still a rearrub was a forecast of the executive ability which eventually won him two stars and since his retirement from the army has placed him at the helm of a large corporation. This distinguished ex-private array of decorations rivals that of General Perhring. They include the D. S. M. of both army and navy (U.S.A.); commander, Lieutenant of Honor of France; Croix de Guerre with two palms (France); knight commander, St. Michael and St. George (British); grand officer, Order of the Crown (Bellan); commander, St. Maurice and St. Lazarus (Italian); Order of Prince Danilo (Montenegrin); Order of La Solidarid (Panaman), and Masonic (thirty-second degree, K.T.). Speaking of white mule, two "We're gittin' out o' Miami—too many palmss," writes Mrs. Tipton Bud's nephew, who's winterin' in the south. A felter never knows what he would have done till he's been married a year or so. SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W.F. THOMSON Wonder what orphaned foxes think when they see an anti-vivisectionist wearing their mother's coat? If we follow the food faddist, we eat what we don't want and want what we don't eat. "And I soldom treat people"—Saalfold Doctor Leuk; "Who sleep in the open Each night in the week." "But my very best patients" The doctor would say—"All sleep in hot chambers From August 'til May." Emerson observed that a singular equality may be seen between the great men of the and of the last ages. "Nor all the science, art, religion philosophy of this century aim to educate men than Platyr heroes, three or four and two centuries ago. The arts and inventions each period are only its costuand do not invigorate men, averred. Hudson and Behring accplished so much in Arctic exploration in their fishing boots to astonian Parry and Franlin, whose equipment exhausts the resources of science and of their time. Gallico, with opera glass, discovered a new splendid series of facts about world than any one since.

Try this medium HEALTH & DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McOy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS QUESTION—Mr. R. Q. P. writes: "I am suffering with stomach, abdomen being quite sore and frequently there is a rumbling sound as it water were racing through the bowels. I take goat's milk with an egg for breakfast. For dinner, well hoasted cracked wheat bread, bacon and eggs or boiled beer, lettuce and cabbage salad. For supper, goat's milk and toast. I also eat some mins every day. Is this the proper diet for me?" ANSWER—The rumbling sound is undoubtedly caused by flatulence or gas. Your present diet is incorrect and would advise a fruit juice fast, followed by a suitable diet or proteid food and non-starchy and sald vegetables. Watch this column for right food combinations. QUESTION—H. S. writes: "Could you please tell me how to clear up my confusion and a general blotchy skin? I do not think it is Acne but think something is wrong in my diet as my fact breaks out more when I eat sweets. I take one cake of yeast daily. Is this good? Any suggestions very much appreciated." ANSWER—You are suffering from a form of Acne which is caused by an impure blood stream from improper food combinations. You are eating too much carbohydrate food and would otherwise plenty of fruit and non-starchy vegetables. Consipation must also exist in your case, which should be corrected before condition of your skin can be helped. I do not recommend yeast. QUESTION—Mrs. L. W. writes: "I find baking soda a good laxative and take one teaspoonful in one-half pint water every night and morning. Is this harmful if constantly used?" ANSWER—Soda is very harmful because the reaction of am-sch juices are acid, while the soda is alkaline, which change this reaction. By all means discontinue taking soda twice daily. I do not advise its use. SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1925 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying AMERICA'S WEALTH STUPENDOUS—Santa Ana Register The census bureau is engaged in adding up total wealth of the United States. Unofficial guests give from $300,000,000,000 to $400,000,000,000. The official estimate will probably be somewhere between those limits. Suppose it is $350,000,000,000—or, to put it in more understandable words, 350 billions, which is 350 thousand millions. That is fine, big sum to roll off the tongue. It is just about twice the estimated wealth of the country's lands, mines, forests, buildings, railroads, etc., back in 1912. Not that the wealth of the country has really doubled in a decade. Most of this increase is the result of higher prices and the lower purchasing power of the dollar which does the measuring. A cheaper dollar makes the wealth look bigger in figures than it actually. But there has been a large intrinsic gain, in spite of the war losses. And at the present time the riches of this blessed land are rolling up with unprecedented rapidity. America is worth as much now, in the open market, as almost the whole of Europe, and probably more than Asia and Africa together. This fact in itself shows some interesting things about wealth. Wealth, it appears, is not a matter of area, nor of population, nor even of material resources. If it were area alone, Canada would be as rich, instead of less than one-tenth as rich. If population alone, Asia would be far richer. If resources alone, Africa would be richer. Population is essential; also land. After that, national wealth depends on the kind of people that make the nation. It is a product of brains, character and energy, using the earth and its contents merely as materials and instruments. Our real wealth is our inhabitants. Put the American people on another continent, and there would soon be a new America. MURDER AS A FINE ART—Sacramento Bee Writing in the current issue of Harper's Magazine, Henry A. Bunn says: "The steady increase of our murder and suicide rates has continued; and it is peculiarly gratifying to note the marked improvement in the artistic qualities of our murders. Murder, of course, is our national art, and we are fast becoming a nation of artists. We are producing more and better murders every year." There is more truth than fiction in that. If we continue at our present rate, America may become as famous for the number and variety of its homelands as fifteenth century Italy was for its great artistic achievements or Elizabethan England for its great literature. And juries, such as served in the recent McCoy case, are of great aid in pushing us toward such a glorious pinnacle." supported on crutches, but so much support of the sole He has a fine Swiss hush, but he has lost the skill to the hour by the sun.

This, in effect, is the impossible to answer question asked by a reader of this column. He sends a list headed "The World's Best Books," containing a hundred titles, with the explanation, "Books are hard to get in my locality, and I haven't the money to buy or the time to read all these. Would you mark those you think the best and return the list to me?" While it is idle to attempt to name the "best books," it is still possible to mention some of the works with which every cultivated man should be familiar. Shakespeare. No particular book can be specified. Forget that everybody says he is the greatest of the great, read him for the beauty of his poetry, and use your imagination. Balzace. Again no particular book can be specified. He is surely one of the master writers of all time. Recommended: Const Pons, Lost Illusions, Humane Comedy, Pere Goriot.
