BACK BONE VS. WISH BONE
Many a man has failed in life
because his wishbone was where
his backbone ought to be. This,
of course, is only figurative lan-
guage, but it carries with it a
message for us. In proportion
as a man’s backbone weakens
his wish bone seems to develop.
The salaried man spends his
time saying, “I wish I had a
better job;” he is ever wishing
I wish 1 had the luck some
other people have,” “I wish I
had this” or “I wish I had
that.” He is ever wishing and
he certainly knows that wish-
ing never accomplished a single
thing in life.
Things in the human body-
muscle and bone—develop by
usage, and if we use the wish-
bone all the time it will develop
into huge proportions. On the
other hand, if we develop our
backbone and use it frequently,
we may not need to use the
wishbone so much.
Let us develop and strength-
en our backbone and forget the
wishbone in our lives and say
I will” instead of “I wish.”

DEATH OF ALBORT MCELROY
Albert Edwin McElroy,
of Mr. and Mrs. A.E. McElroy,
died at the Methodist hospital
at Guthrie, Okla., Wednesday
morning, August 17, 1921. His
death was caused by heart
trouble, probably occasioned by
a severe case of measles the
summer preceding his death.
While he had been troubled
J with his heart since December,
1920, it was not until August
6, 1921, that he took down with
what proved to be his final
sickness.
At his death Albert was
years, 11 months and 17 days
old. Albert was a kind and
loving son, considerate of those
about him, patient in suffering
and much loved by all who
knew him. Before he died he
stated that he loved Jesus, and
his only regret was in leaving
his loved ones behind. He also
told all at his bedside that he
wanted to meet them all in
heaven, and thanked the doctor
for what he had done for him
after which herallied somewhat
and gained strength enough to
be taken to the hospital at
Guthrie but died before he had
become quiet enough for an ex
amination.
He left behind him to mourn
his death, a loving father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. A. E
McElroy; a brother, Vernon
McElroy; a sister, Mrs. Ward
Hoskinson, and a host of other
relatives and friends.
Funeral services were con-
ducted Thursday at the Luther
M. E. Church by the Rev
Mansfield of Oklahoma City
A beautiful song service was
rendered under the leadership
of Miss Ruth Rogers. Burial
was at Valley View.
Those from out of town who
attended the services were Mr.
and Mrs. W. D. Hoskinson,
Mrs. A. A. Spivey, Mr. and
Mrs. A. W. Hoskinson, Messrs
Forest Franklin and William
Kennedy, all of Oklahoma City,
and Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Wilson
of Wellston.

HEAVY ON SOFT DRINKS
People of the United States Consume
Annually a Vast Amount of
Sweet Concoction*.
That more thun $1,(XX),(XX),(XX) is an-
nuully spent iii the United Suites for
soft drinks is the conclusion reached
exports in the revenue bureuu, who
buse the figures on the tax returns
from the sule of 10,(XX),(HX),<XX) glasses
a year ut an average of ten cents a
gluss. This vast sum, according to a
chemist in the health department, is
paid for sodas and other drinks com-
posed largely of coal tar pnnlucts of
practically no food vulue and masquer-
ading under the protective cloak of
“imitation” and “artificial,” which ex-
empts manufacturers from punishment
under existing statutes.
Orangeade, if genuine, is glucose,
sweetened water and oranges without
any artificial coloring. The imitation
orangeade, according to the chemists
iu the New York city department of
heulth, is u combination of oil or
orange coloring, sweetened with sacc-
harine that comes in bottles. Saccha-
rine is n coal tar product 500 times
sweeter thun sugur, aud of no food
value, which is considered injurious
to health by inedicui authorities if
taken in excess of four glasses a clay.—

Constant Search for Tannin.
The oak is one of the best known
natural sources of tanniu, although It
Is found in many other trees. The
spread of industry lias Increased the
call for tannin to such a degree that
search lias been made all over the
world for some new tree capable of
supplementing the oak, hemlock and
other trees in furnishing tills Indis-
pensable substance.
A certain degree #f success has at-
tended the search tn Argentina, where
there Is found a tree called the que-
bracho, from which excellent tannin
can be obtained. The wood of tills
tree Is very hard and durable, and It
grows In large forests. It has been
known as a tannin producer for about
80 years, but only In late years has
the extraction of the tannin l>een con-
ducted in Argentina. Formerly the
wood was exported.
Card of Thanks
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. McElroy
wish to extend their heartfelt
thanks to all their kind friends
and neighbors for the most kind
assistance and sympathy ren-
dered to them during their re-
cent bereavement. — Mr. and
Mrs. A.E. McElroy and Family.
CHANGE MADE FOR TOURISTS
Pictures in Museum of the Louvre
“Standardized” With idea of
Pleasing Americans.
Even that sedate, historic pile, the
Museum of the Louvre, has not es-
caped the effects of the “preparation”
which all l’aris 1ms been undergoing
for the reception of the American tour-
ist. It was decided some time ago
that the old method of hanging the
pictures according to their merits and
according to the lighting effect de-
sired was too haphazard and too prone
to confuse the visitor who was unfa-
miliar with tlie old works, their period
and school. Some one suggested
“standardization.” There was a howl
from the French press, which uhrunk
from the thought of touching even a
picture cord In tin* famous gallery, but
the thought was advanced that if the
coming thousands of American visit-
ors to Paris were to properly enjoy
the pictures they should he properly
classified according to their period and
school. This* bus been done, und now
one passes through the big rooms as
one might a department store. Here
are works of the early Italian paint-
ers, here those of the Italian renais-
sance. there those of the early Flem-
ish school and there the products of
early Spanish genius. The Louvre,
of course, is u sacred rite. Now it’s a
rite simplified, standardized^and some-
what stereotyped. Some pictures
which require strong light are almost
In the dark, and others which would
benefit by a somber surrounding suf-
fer a glare. The guide calls this a
“systeme American.” Despite It the
Louvre remains a rare treat.—World

TURK LOSING HOLD IN EUROPE
Vast Empire Once Under the Crescent
Has Been Slowly Dwindling Since
the Year 1699.
Those who were in hopes that Tur-
key might take herself, “hag and bag-
gage, out of everything” and have
seen a setback to their hopes in the
Sevres revision, can cheer up a bit
by looking at the map. says the
Christian Science Monitor. The chart
of the Ottoman empire as it has ex-
isted since 1688 presents, indeed, a
hojieful sight. The empire slowly and
surely has been going back to first
things. The crumbling began in 1600,
when Transylvania, Slovakia and a
chunk of Poland and Hungary were
lost. The Banat \v« ’it In 1717, the
Htikowlna In 1775. the Taurida and the
Crimea in 1788, and the Odessa dis-
trict in 1702. The next century was
even more disastrous for Turkey, who
lost Bessarabia in 1812, a part of
Serbia iu 1817, Georgia and Greece
In 1820, Algeria in 1880, Bulgaria In
1870, northern Armenia. UumaniH and
more of Serbia In 1878, Tunisia aud
some of Greece in 1881, and Egypt
In 1882. Nor has the present century
been behind its predecessor. Libya
was a great loss In 1012, following the
annexation by Austria In 11X18 'of
Bosnia and Herzegovina ; 1018 proved
particularly unfortunate for the Turks
In the Balkans, and last year there
■lipped from their grasp the Ilcdiiiz.
Mesopotamia. Syria, Palestine, the
strips along the Persian gulf, Smyrna
and some of Armenia. It Is a tale
of consistent disaster.

two colds and the whooping cough.”
