To hirsute wads I cannot pray- Where are the ears of yesterday? Someone, I think, should interfere, Lest other features disappear. Next year, perhaps, eyes will be gone, Then chins, then noses won't be worn, Until regretfully we sa: “Where is the face of yesterday?” Katharine Perry. Born with the Republic It is really dificult now-a-days to get fine whisky. Not that fine whisky is so very scarce; but due to a con- dition in the business that makes it more profitable for a distiller to sell his fine goods to the “‘whisky doctors’’ who “‘blend’? them up and make as much as ten gallons from one. Our standing reputa- tion for guality—a known factor in this business for over 125 years— insures the consumer’ s protection against such practices upon our part. James E. Pepper The National Whisky is offered toa discriminating publicentire- ly upon its maintained merit.

The splendid thing L about evils is that they furnish excellent points of attack, and there is great fun in getting rid of them. The human family is eternally delighted to expunge evils and watch the squirming of those who have been profiting by them, Let us not be slothful, therefore, in beating the bushes about, scaring up whatever evils may be lurking there and peppering them as they try to escape. Should the time come when there are no more evils, we must invent them or establish something analogous to the game laws to give them time to mature so that the sport will not languish. This is legitimate work for the pessimist. Let him go to it! No human menagerie is com- plete without a cageful of bétes noires, comicbooks.com
