City, Okla., says:
“Two years ago, I was
In very bad health, I was
so weak and run-down, I
could scarcely keep going.
‘My mother thought I
ought to try Cardui, and
told me to get some and
take It. I could eat noth
ing, as I had no appetite.
"I found great relief af
ter I began taking Cardui.
I was able to eat and I
could sleep. Before that,
I had been so nervous that
the least little thing upset
me. I was low-spirited and
blue. I got thinner and
thinner, and I was always
tired.”

Literary Tench
Possibly it was the first breath of
spring jn the air that sent a certain
unknown author skipping into the of
fices of Simple & Simons, hook pub
lishers.
“How long should n novel be?”
asked the* tyro of the first man he
saw. It happened to he Mr. Simple
“There is no statutory limit,” an
swered the latter.
But the would-be author pressed
him for some suggestion, and the pub
lisher linnlly admitted that most
standard novels were .about eighty
thousand words long.
“Thank heaven!” declared the oth
er. “I’ve finished, then.”
BOLD AT SEA BOTTOM NOW
SOUGHT BV RADIO FINDER
New Device Is Expected to Locate
Treasure Sunk by Old.
Time Duccaneers.
Baton Ilouge, La.—Treasure be
lieved to have been sent to (lie bottom
of tile sea by pirates who roamed the
Spanish Main centuries ago, and
which lias defied all efforts of treasure
hunters, will lie sought with n new
radio device lids summer.
G. O. Maher, Baton Kongo man who
invented t he “ground radio,” with
which lie lias unearthed a small for
tune in buried treasure, lias developed
a similar machine for use in water
and is authority for the announcement
of ttie expedition, which plans to go
to (lie southwestern coast of South
America this summer.
A vessel manned with divers and
fully equipped for (lie adventure will
he used in the search, Maher says. A
Tennessee man whoso name is with
held Is financing the expedition. The
Spanish galleons sought are believed
to have been sunk near the coast by
pirates about 1700. One vessel alone
is reported to contain n million dol
lars In gold bullion, which was being
transported from Mexico to Spain at
Hie time it was sunk in a battle with
llie buccaneers.
Maps and charts believed to have
been those of Sir Henry Morgan, the
historic pirate chief, are in possession
of the party, Maher says, and already
have boon used in another successful
expedition into southern Panama and
South America,
Maher first experimented with radio
as a means of detecting buried treas
ure In 1018, but did not perfect ids
Invention until 1022. Since then he
has participated in several successful
treasure hunts.
Both tlie ground and water machines
are so constructed that when they
pass over nonmagnetic metal tlie^ro-
ducc in the ear phones a sound reac
tion characteristic of the several met
als so accurately that the operator can
tell the nature of die find.
The South American ground radio
explorations uncovered treasures in
Hie old Cnslillo do San Geronilno, near
Nata ; In t he ruins of the Church of
I’orto Bello, destroyed in 1710, and
at Cruces Train. Included in the finds
are religions ornaments of gold and
silver, a silver church hell, a iaree
crown inlaid with gold, gold and sil
ver vessels and ancient pistols. Other
hunts have been conducted by Mailer
in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Texas, California and other states.
loo Morgan charts, lie says, are
owned by n Tennesseean, who claims
to he a direct descendant of the pirate
chief.

Now York.—Manhattan lias had to
yield to Brooklyn as the chief center
of the Jewish population of the me

der the auspices of the Bureau of Jew
ish Social Research shows that Jews

‘‘Big Hitch” Praised
by Plains Farmers
Washington.—Reports from farming
communities, particularly In the great
plains states, indicate to the Depart
ment of Agriculture that farmers are
finding it expedient to work from
eight to twelve horses In the so-called
“big hitch.”
Successful use of big-team hitches
Involves tiie arrangement of horses
partly in tandem to avoid side draft
and for simplicity in driving. They
are especially adapted to plowing,
disking, harrowing and harvesting and
can lie used in the corn belt and other
regions having extensive fields, as
well as In the Northwest where the
idea originated.
One man, it Is declared, working
tiie "big hitch,” can do more in a sin
gle day than two or three men were
doing before with smaller teams.

ing a forward Step fn using those large
power units in keeping Mown the coat

Wife Impressed by
Force of “Argument”
One day n rough-looking Slovak la
borer accompanied by his rotund wife
visited a second-hand clothing store in
New York. The woman was looking
for a rlnsli coat. She had evidently
dragged her husband from one store
to another. The woman tried on one
coat after another. She could not be
suited. The man, losing all patience,
picked up one at random, and said:
“I like."
The woman shook her head, saying:
“I no like.”
But the man handed the garment to
the woman, repeating:
“I like."
“I no like,” insisted Ids better half.
And so the debate continued. Final
ly tiie sturdy foreigner drew back his
open palm and slapped his wife with
a violence that knocked her down.
Tiie woman slowly rose to her feet,
reached for tiie coat, turned to her
husband, and said:
“Me like, too!”—Pathfinder Maga

Impolite
A little girl lives near a dog which
is loved and cared for by a childless
woman. The owner of tiie dog came
to call on tiie little girl’s mother.
“Mrs. Blank,” she said, ‘‘I think
Mary is changing so much. I don’t
want to have any hard feelings, but
I really thought you ought to know
that I overheard her being very im
polite.”
"Sure, I want lo know, and thank
you for calling my attention to the
matter. I shall speak to Mary about
it What did .Mary say?” asked tiie
agitated mother,
“My dog was out in front as she
went to school and she said, ‘You
diriy cur, don't you dare toueli me.’”
Saturday as a Holiday
Miss Frc.vgang of the New York
city department of education, says:
‘‘it is my understanding that tiie Sat
urday holiday never began In tiie
cities, but in tiie rural sections of our
country. It is my understanding that
it originated In the Colonial days,
when there were very few Jews in tiie
community. I believe Saturday began
as a holiday in schools because the
children on the farms had to help
with the work, so that Sunday might
be observed by tiie family. They had
to bring in provisions for the Sabbat It
and help In tiie home so that they
might start out to tiie nearest church
which was usually miles away.”
His Ambition
"Ambition,” said Norbert Quinn, "is
a funny tiling. My friend, Christopher
Morley, prince of fantasy and Twen
tieth century Elizabethan, confided
that he wished that lie could draw and
also that lie could write successful
plays.
"Quite In contrast is my little friend
William, who Is saving up money to
buy an airplane. ‘It’s n very worthy
motive,’ I told him. ‘You are quite
an ambitious hoy.’
“’You bet I am!’ William agreed
and added, ‘You see, 1 want to fly
over Bobby Will el’* yard and drop
down bricks on him.'"

East Indian Brake's
Work Day and Night
East Indians of every caste and
tribe are gamblers by instinct, hut
tho greatest of them nil is the Mar-
wari, who must hold the world's rec
ord for nonstop gambling, writes an
Indian merchant In Londln Tit-Bits.
In the Bombay market tiie Mauwarl
has established n virtual monopoly—
that of a jobber, prepared both to buy
and sell, at. a (theoretically) slight dif
ference in price, contracts for tho
future delivery of cotton.
He cannot resist, however, tho lure
of continuous operations “out of
hours,” so lie resorts to an iinolllcinl
market, Kutchn Kliandi, which is open
practically clay ami night, its activi
ties being suspended only to allow op
erators to snatch a little sleep, or to
adjourn to tiie official cotton exchange.
These abuses, and others which pre
vailed in tiie market, impelled tiie cot
ton trade to call for government leg
islation, mid one? result was that Kuf-
chn Kliandi was made Illegal. But,
despite police raids on this business
“night club,” and the spectacle of a
group of stiper-milllonaires being
haled before a magistrate, the Mur-
wari remained unabashed.

Modern Science Lets
Light on “Miracles’*
The ancient Egyptian priests im
pressed the faithful by tiie perform
ance of what seemed to he miracles,
and their explanation has been recent
ly made tiie subject of a lecture by
William Renveli, president of the In
stitute of Mechanical Engineers of
Groat Britain.
The doors of the temple were made
to open at the bidding-of the priests.
As a matter of fact the heat from
tiie burning incense on Hie altar
wanned the air in Its base, thus ex
panding the air and causing it to
force water from a jug into a bucket,
which was also a counterweight. The
weight of the water falling Into die
bucket was wlmt opened the doors.

of tiie heat of the sun was, the expla

greeted the rising sun by whistling.—

Wrong Idea About Bat
The old simile, “blind as a hat,” was
probably suggested by the fact that a
hat Is dazed and unable to see well
when it suddenly enters a brilliantly
lighted room. As a matter of fact,
the bat has very keen sight, although
It seldom ventures abroad except at
hight. The phrase in question, how
ever, may have originally referred lo
the popular belief that the bat is to
tally blind and finds the way about
by Instinct. The hat is a mammal
and the female nurses the young at
her breast until they are nlde to eat
insects.—Pathfinder Magazine.

DECALOGUE FOR TEACHERS
ORDERS CHEER FOR PUPILS
Federal Bureau of Education Decrees
Pleasant Temperament for
Instructors.
Washington. — Ten commandments
have been laid down for tiie Ameri
can school teacher by the federal bu
reau of education.
The bureau evidently holds that
heredity and an even temperament:
have much to do with the teacher’s
ability to maintain her position. The
ten commandments follow:
“Thou shall have other Interests be
sides iliy school room.
“Thou shalt not try to make of thy
children little images, for they are a
live little bunch, visiting the wriggling
of their captivity upon you, their
teacher, unto tiie last weary moment
of tiie day; and showing Interest and
co-operation unto tlio.se who can give
them reasonable freedom in working.
"Thou shalt not scream tiie names,
of thy children In irritation, for they
will not hold time In inspect if thou
reran most their names In vain.
‘‘Remember tiie last day of tiie
week, to keep it happy.
“Humor tiie feelings of thy children
that their good-will may speak well
for thee In tiie little domain over
which thou rulest.
“Thou shalt not kill one breath of
stirring endeavor In tiie heart of a
little, child.
“Thou shalt not suffer any unkind-
ness of speech or action to enter tiie
door of thy room.
“Thou shalt not steal for the drudg
ery of many ‘papers’ tho precious
hours that should he given to recre
ation, that thy strength and happi
ness may appear unto all that come
within thy presence.
“Thou shalt not hear witness to too
many ‘schemes of work,’ for much
scattered effort Is a weariness to tiie
soul and a stumbling block to weary
lingers.
“Thou shalt laugh*—when It rains
and wee, woolly ones muddy the floor;
when it blows and doors, bang, when
little angels conceal their wings and
wriggle, when Tommy spills ink and
Mary Hops n tray of trailing letters;
when visitors appear at (lie precise
moment when all small heads have
forgotten everything you thought they
knew, and again I say unto you, laugh,
for upon nil these commandments
hang all the law and the profits In
tliv schoolroom.”
