Ee ------ ANNIE LAURIE. It is just one hundred years since "Annie Laurie" was pubMshed. She Was a real person, aged eighteen, when the song was written by her soldier-of-fortune lover, Capt, Wil- dam Douglas. It was his only song. Or, at least, if he did write others, they failed to survive the acid test of time. But in his one song he em- balmed sweet Annie Laurie more en- duringly than the ancient Egyptian embalmers were able to preserve their kings. Music is enduring be- cause it is man's nearest approach to the spiritual. RACIAL DIFFERENCIES. Most of the big wars for centuries have been business clashes or con- flicts of political systems such as democracy arraying itself against monarchy. The world has mot had @ real racial war since the Chinese and Mohammedan invasions of Eu- rope. But the next big war may be a collision of races. So, at least, «312 runs the talk in scientific circles. One One year, by fe rural offices, 93.50 States ......53.00 Une year, to Unsted Ome year, by mall, cash -- ) SL30 Une your, to United States .

But the various colored races are multiplying rapidly. The white race, despite its near-suicide in the World War, and despite the spread of birth control, is increasing though Dot nearly as fast as blacks, ycllows and browns. "Increased inequality in numbers means, in a democratic age, an inevitable transfer of pow- er." warns a 'recent writer on the subject. . . Which is the superior race? Every | y|Tace steps forward and answers: "We are." Truth is, it depends on the date. The Chinese had a great civilization when tae Europeans were wearing wild animal skins and hunting with a club. Right now the whites unquestionably are suparior --in wealth, invention, arts and sci- ences. Time may change our 'stand- ing. All civilizations decay, as sure. ly as petals fall from the blooming rose. . , Felix Von Luschan in his latest book 'writes: "The difference pbetweea races, especially those regarding in- tellectual and moral qualities, are BY no means as great as the dimer. ences between single individuals be- longing to the same race..... There are no inferior races, but eaca race has its inferior individuals." He might have added that the "laterior individuals" frequently are decidedly in the majority. The main difference between races is that they are in different stages of development or evolution, just as thods are the medicine he under. stands. -- THE SEX ALIGNMENT. The women's party in the United States has decided that there should be more women in congress. No particular reasons are advanced In support of such a proposition except that England ang Germany have more women legislators than the United States and that the "woman's point of view" is needed in law-mak- ing. Something of the same argu- ment has been heard from time to time in this country. Right here is where the women's party indicates its complete lack of knowledge of what is meant by public service and intended by the enfranchisement clause, : No woman should be elected to any legislature, judicial or executive Dlace merely because she is a wo- man. No men is elected because he Is & man, It isn't a matter of sex, but it is a matter of reputed or real capacity to serve the public regard- less of skirt or pemts. Nor is "the women's point of view" {mportant-- it isn't of the slightest consequence, because it cannot exist, Legislation involves right against wrong, the Beed of good against evil, o benefit to the whole country instead of the favored few. tinction THE DAILY BRITIS STUDYING ADVERTISING.

Even here the situation is much safer when the name is an invented ome and is therefore protectible property. Mr. Henry Ford was unable to prevent somebody from getting oul a Ford tractor before he nimselt was ready to market such an article, and was therefore compelled to describe his own tractor as the Fordson. If he had called his car the Lizzitin, or thereabouts, he could have extended the title to the tractor with perfect safety, and nobody could have antici- pated him in it, The immense commercial value of a well-advertised name or brand is the reason why so much investigation is being carried on about them. There must be many such names which have cost millions of dollars to create and which would seil for midions of dolars to-day. In the fact that the name would rapidly lose its value it the quality of the product fell oft lies the best safeguard that the pre- seat-day public has against com- mercial dishonesty, causing joint and muscular disturb- ances, s0 also do they effect the glands and other organs of the body, and that when this poisonous sub- stance géts into the circulation, it interferes witlf the secretion of the thyroid and changes the structure. That is, that the same poisonous condition that effects the heart, af- fects the thyroid gland also. It is for this reason that often where the physician was doing every- thing to help the general condition of a goltrous patient with a badly acting heart, that the removal of bad teeth and tonsils, the clearing up of some chronic nose or ear condition, or a sluggish Mver and intestine, he has had the great satisfaction of get- ting a complete cure of the heart and goitrous condition. It is a great idea to get all such poisons out of the system by baths, perspiration, and the cleaning of the intestine. It is a greater idea to prevent the manufacture of these poisons by re- moving the cause. x ii KINGSTON IN 1852 Viewed Through Our Flles THE WINTER DUMP.
