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. Takes the Place of “Drastic 11 I 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.
