There Is not only uu Interesting side,
but a practical one as well tn Judge

Judge Llndsey, a native of Tennessee, has been hend of the Juvenile

hus done wonders to Improve the sltu-

is said that only a very few of tho
muny hundreds placed on their honor
by him huve failed ln keeping this

er the less very stupid. Women, us
now presented to tho public, are about
uh interesting as so many "sides" of
dressed beef hung up in a butcher
shop. Malingers ought to know that.
A few yeur ago, even Henry Ford
wouldn't huve thought this possible.

those living when the Old Testament
wus written.

year, with every human being able to
talk ut will with any other on earth,
men will decided to stop murdering
each other, and follow Joseph Pulitzer's advice, "Don't fight; advertise."

Young ludies of Chlcugo'a "Co-ed"

Nothing new In that truthful statement. The miracle Is tbat women
