BEMIDJI DAILS PIONEER NOT DUE TO BAD TONSILS Theory That Rheumatism May Be Traced to Infected Condition of Throat Is Given Joit. The prevalent idea that there is a Mistinct relationship between the ton- sils and “rheumatism” receives a se- vere jolt in a report by Drs. 8. J. Crowe, S. Shelton Watkins and Alma 8. Rothholz in the bulletin of the Johns Hopkins hospital. ‘Thesas investigators followed up nine cases after the ton= slls had been removed. Only two showed improvement, two showed no Improvement and five of the cases are much worse. Yet in each of these sases it seems certain that the tonsils were the source of infection. Tonsillectomy, as cutting out the tonsils is called, is always a trying op- eration. Sufferers from rheumatoid arthritis are generally middle-aged, WEDNESDAY.

In yesterday’s Ploneer appeared an article from a circular bulletin sent out by the Ninth Liberty Loan headquarters in Minneapolis, addressed to the chairman of the county Liberty Loan, asking him to ‘“Nail This Lie,” the lie referred to being that reports to the effect that the news- papers were receiving pay from the government for advertising the Liberty Loan bonds were false. There are nc papers we know of in this district that are receiving one cent from the. GOVERNMENT for publicity, nor do we know of any other newspapers that are. According to the American Press, a jourmal for newspaper men and a good one, reaching over 12,000 publishers, the money appropriated by congress for advertising purposes in connection ‘with the Liberty Loan.is being spent for posters on'billboagds, buttons, ‘books and “a thousand and one other kinds of advertising media.” In the New York Times, Monday, October 1, appeared & page of Liberty Loan advertising paid for by the Standard Oil company. . In the Cleveland Plain Dealer, October 1, appeared a page advertisement for the Liberty Loan bonds paid for by the Guardian Savings and Trust company. On September 28, the Globe Democrat of St. Louis published a third of a page paid for by the Mercantile Trust company, members of the Federal Reserve system, all big financial concerns. The advertisements for the second Liberty Loan bond sale now ap- pearing in the Pioneer are DONATED by the Pioneer SAME AS IT DONATED $150 worth on the first bond sale, in addition to column after column of reading matter and editorial boosting. : No, the Pioneer is not getting anything from the government for its advertising space. HENRY FORD. PATRIOT ‘When asked for the terms on which he would turn over his big east- ern assembling factory to the government for use during the war, Henry Ford replied, “No terms at all; take it.”” Of course there are those who will belittle the act with the remark that he can well afford it, but it was none the less a princely act of loyalty. And it stands out in such vivid contrast to the actions and words of many professedly loyal people that it is especially noticeable. Mr. Ford did all in his power to prevent this country going to war, even going so far as to subject himself to ridicule in his efforts for peace. Now, however, that his country is into it, his brains, his energy, his resources and, we doubt not his life as well if it were required, are at his country’s order. Of such stuff are patriots made. We are told that ‘“‘the Kaiser has regarded it as his principal and most sacred task to preserve the blessings of peace.” And-as he seems to have a widely different conception from the balance of the world as to the brand of prace that should prevail, we suppose he considers it his sacred duty to exterminate all who differ from him, There's one consolation anyway, and that is when the war is over the newspaper publishers of the country will take their pens in hand or type- writers and prnceed to get considerable bottled up indigation off their chests. A well known clergyman says wars will continue until the devil is chained. Why bless your soul, Parson, that's just what we’ve started out to do now-——chain him. Former Czar Nicholas has been consigned to life in an apartment. It Siberian janitors bear any resemblance to the American variety, his punishment is sufficient. If the movie films could get those hold-ups that are being pulled off in Chicago every now and then, they would make the “wild and woolly” look like thirty cents. ¥ After President Wilson gets through making the world safe for Dem- ocracy, will come the real tug of war for possession of the offices. Out in Kansas an aviator is said to have collided with a cow. Shocking! Such a yarn to come from a prohibitfon state! The belligerent countries might organize a regiment or two of re- tired cabinet members and diplomats. Our idea of a well trained servant is ome who never mentions the word ‘“‘boss” in our wife's hearing. ‘Wool has now reached such a price that very few of us need object to having it “pulled over our eyes.” Herbert Hoover seems to be doing his best to save us from the fate of Mother Hubbard. The new French minister of foreign missions is named Bouillon. Sounds good. distinct lessening of ability to with- stand pain. Therefore it is doubtful If they should be subjected to such a painful operation. - The investigators express skepticism as to the efficacy of tonsil removal in other rheumatic affections—rheumatic fever and chorea, for instance, but say that when the tonsils really are the primary source of infection their re- moval may materially help the cure by preventing constant reinfection. USUALLY NOT SO CARELESS Btory of the Steward and the Cock roaches One of Late Admiral Dewey’s Favorite Sea Yarns. Among the late Admiral Dewey’s see stories was one about an inefficient steward. : “A sea captain”—so he would 'be- gin—“drank off a cup of coffee” and then started back with a cry of hor- vor, for there in the bottom of the cup lay two gigantic cockroaches. “The sea captain summoned the steward In a voice of thunder. -He pointed out the two cockroaches to the man, and demnnded an explang- tion. “‘P'm certalnly very sorry, sir, derstand it at all. I hadn’t an idea thera two cockroaches ,was in that there cup of coffee when I give it to you. They float, usually, you know, sir, and when I see one I always take it out, of course, sir, before servin''™ Resistance of the Wind. Tests on u model of the naval coliier Neptune mude in the wind tunnel®ot the Washir:gton navy yard by Nava' Constructor Willlam McEntee show that if this vessel were steaming against a 3U-mile wind at 14 knots an hour it would require about 770 horse power to overcome the res!stance of the wind. This is about 20 per cent of the power necessary to propel het through the water. Germs in a Sneeze. Dr. Edward Maftin of Philadelphia, In a recent lecture declared that iu & shigle cough or sneeze an influenza victim germs into the atmosphere of an ordi nary room. Of these germs a well pecson might inhale 20.000 in a smgla dreath, Conslstent, “Mary,” said the sick man, “I wish you'd take my dress suit out in the yard and burn it.” “Why?" she asked. “Well, I never did like that outfity and if I should die I want to be ab- solutely sure that you won't bury e In {t.” \ '{J ‘ n zae!’ Capftain An Veteran of Gallipoli and Verdun, in a talk at the officers Provisional Training Camp at Fort Sheridan, said: I always had 5 or 6 wrist watches at the front. One is not enmough. Acci- dents happen, and one must have correct time before one’s eyes all the time. The wrist watch is without ques- tion the most practical time- pieces for troops.” Barker has wrist watches with khaki and Kitchener straps, and with plain and luminous dials. Every soldier from Beltrami county should have a wrist watch from Barker's. E A.
