Our “Personal Liberties"
"No man liveth unto himself.” Hu
man experience proves and approves
this scriptural law.
There is no such thing, there can
be no such thing, ns this “personal
liberty” we talk about in established
government and orderly society. If
everybody could live and do as he
pleased, that would be anarchy, not
government; barbarism, not society.
Now, we are not using this term, per¬
sonal liberty,” in the narrow sense
usually given to it regarding indfvid
nal appetite; we are discussing its
Our own government is built on the
principle of individual initiative. That
is the principle that has made and
must preserve us as a nation. It is the
very genius of Americanism. At the
same time, our government and our
society rest on the accepted principle
that the welfare of all is above that
•if the individual. And there is not the.
slightest conflict between these two
principles. They reconcile themselves.
Just at present we are suffering
from the effects of too much per
nonal liberty. Certain members of so
ciety, assuming that they might do
as they pleased, have gone out to
make the most of this assumption,
and as a result crime becomes a high
ly organized and profitable industry,
property and life the pawns of the
outlaw. A murder a day is a reality
in one city. Yet people, many of whom
■would not deliberately violate the
law, certainly not to the extent of
robbery or murder, demand more than
personal liberty—their rights. Many
of our troubles would end if we
thought less of our rights and more
of our obligations. Our rights some
how seem to take care of themselves,
■while often obligations go unperform
od and government and society suf
fcr.
“No man liveth unto himself” is
the cornerstone of every luw-abiding
community, the very heart of human
society.—Public Service Magazine.
How fortunate that anyone can be
honest without a college education.

Calomel
Never take another dose of the old style
«< raw” calomel. There is a newer and
more improved kind known as Pepsinated
Calomel. It does not tear through your
•ystcjn like a streak of lightning. People
■who are ill or suffering with biliousness,
constipation, indigestion, and especially
with backache, headache and torpid liver
can secure immediate and complete relief
with this new mild Calomel. Hereafter
when you buy calomel, always demand
■the “pep-slna ted” kind. It is better for
you, for it is purer, milder and more
beneficial to your entire system. In 25c
and 50c packages. For sale by
