George E. Morse, after more than 40 years of feeding experience on his 500-acre Iowa farm, has decided to quit the meat-producing business. . ® ' For long Morse has been fattening 1,000 steers yearly. That means quite a few beefsteaks and roast ribs for many city meat eaters. And Morse admits that he made a “fair profit out of the fat- tening.” But that was in former years. Now, he insists, he can’t remain in the business because there isn’t a large enough margin of profit. He says he has to pay too much for feed and doesn’t get enough for the fattened product he drives into the livestock yard. * This in face of the fact that city consumers are paying the highest ever prices for beef! What’s the matter? Here’s an experienced beef producer unable to stay on the job of ‘producing beef because prices he gets are too low. Here are millions of meat eaters paying more for beef than they paid before; than they paid in the years Morse admits were profitable to him. What’s wrong? CHINESE LAW. , Chinese cats may have the usual allotment of nine lives, but, legally at least, man has but one in the celestial republic. } “Tf an offender be sentenced to more than one : sentence of death, only one sentence can be en- forced,” says the law of the land. : That’s fair enough, and simple, too. Like unto it: ' “When an offender is given more than one sen- tence of life imprisonment only one sentence can be enforced.” : But Chinese law is not all “to laugh.” “It might not be such a bad idea if some of our American courts read and consider not too lightly the “four spirits of justice,” enunciated by the Chinese supreme court. { ; “First spirit of being’ independent and bald. Second spirit of being patient and painstaking. Third spirit of being hardworking. Fourth spirit of setting a good example.” Do. the tablets of Moses, the tomes of Black- stone and the records of contemporary courts say more than this? AFTER SCHOOL DAYS , What about the children who have left school this summer for the last. time? Approximately 1,000,000 boys and girls be- tween the ages of 14 and 16 years will go into in- dustry this summer and fall, having finished their schooling when the doors closed in June. | The U.S. Children’s Bureau has made a study ‘of what becomes of these children each year. It finds that only a few receive help in finding suit- able openings in industry. This is because par- ents do not know what opportunities are open for their boys and girls, or how to go about finding them, or what is the best thing for a child to do. The majority begin an aimless search, making the rounds of factories, shops and offices. “More than nine-tenths of them,” says Julia ‘Lathrop, head of the Children’s Bureau, “go into, ‘blind alley’ jobs that require no skill: and offer no opportunity to get ahead. Some of them find work for which they. are physically unfitted, sometimes to the permanent injury of their health.” } What is the remedy? The Children’s Bureau, as a result of an exhaus- tive study just completed, recommends that there be created organizations in the schools all over , the country, to tell children what'and where the jobs are, and what training and ‘ability are re- quired to fill them. States and cities should have placement bureaus working in co-operation with the schools, to place and supervise working children, including provi- sion for further training through compulsory day- time continuation classes to train the boy. or girl in the actual processes of the industry he or she has entered. PENNY FOR THE PEOPLE Ninety-three cents out of every dollar appro- priated by the United States government for 1920 goes to pay for war—past or future, while only six cents are used for primary government func- tions and public works’ together. No less than $3,855,482,586 out of a total ap- propriation of $&,686,005,706 must be applied: to expenditures arising from recent previous wars. This is 67.81 per cent of the total appropriations forjl9ZOy: 3 Gai ib © But that is not alle To that enormous sum must be added.$1,424,138,677, appropriated for the up-| Journal. “ ig RETESET IE I keep of the war and navy departments for this year. That is’another 25.02 per cent of the total appropriations. Together, these,sums make up 92.83 per cent of all moneys appropriated for 1920. For the primary functions’ of the government— legislative, executive and judicial (except the postoffice, which is self-supporting), the Inter- state Commerce Commission, the Federal Tradé Commission, as well as public buildings, river and harbor improvements, reclamation, national parks, rural roads, the total’ appropriations reach only $349,290,782, or 6.16 per cent of all moneys appro- priated. And for research, educational and development work, the pitiful sum of $57,093,661, or 1.01 per cent of the total, is/ appropriated for this nation of 105,000,000 people. Imagine what advances could be made in sci- ence, education, the improvement and happiness of the nation if one hundred cents out of every dollar could go into the work that now gets one cent! Aram, (RR CET be PAY FOR SERVICE ‘3 , Two things should govern all dealings with the railroads: \ 1, GOOD SERVICE—Honest, courteous, eco- nomical, highly efficient service, by the railfoads to the public. 2. A SQUARE DEAL—Rates high enough to pay for that service and enable the roads, rightly managed, to pay a reasonable return to their own- ers on the actual investment, and no more. - Hearings on the rate increase have closed at Washington. Within two weeks the Interstate Commerce Commission expects to announce its decision. Higher rates are certain, perhaps enough higher to add $2,000,000,000 a year to railroad income. Part of it may be spread over passenger traffic. Either way,. the consumer pays the bill. The consumer is you. The bill starts at $19 a head, for each of-you. It is multiplied by three, at least, before it reaches you in the price you pay for things at the store! That makes it $57. per head, or $285 per family, every year. That is $5.48 out of the weekly pay envelope, every week. | Allright. Pay it willingly. Good service comes high, but it is always worth what it costs. The United States can’t march on, crippled in both legs by this handicap of utterly inefficient, demoralized railroad service. Industry..is limp- ing; home building operations are halted; coal famine threatens. The breakdown of the rail- roads is the primary cause. But remember also, and always, that America is entitled to this good service at the lowest possi- ble price. The United States gives to the = roads certain peculiar, very valuable It guarantees to them, absolutely, a reasonable return on, their value. ‘ The same law that carries the guaranty also demands “honest, efficient and. economical man, agement.” : ! — —__ : Let any man speak long enough, he will get be- lievers.—Stevenson. ; I Former Director General of Railroads McAdoo ran into an open switch. \ » / : A quantity of sugar has been found ina freight jam.

The admo- nition is as timely as it is wise. - Labor unions of necessity represent group in- terests. In order to promote their group interest they have exhibited a rather militant form of self- assertion instead of emphasizing a co-operative and humane type of democracy. But education in a republic is founded in the idea of co-operation. This is the essentigl nature of a good school. Its organization is-co-operative from top/to bottom. Leading educators sense the fact that the schools must not be degraded to pro- mote class interests nor to set the teachers apart from the public. ' Speed the day when teaching shall be paid in accord with its deserts. In the meantime the ideal of teaching as a profession calling for high idealism must remain unsullied. Only such a pro- fessional ideal. of service will keep the public schools free from class interests and the teachers high in public esteem, ’ Progress for teachers lies not in the direction of class consciousness or class assertion, but rath- er in the idea of co-operation and public service. The high function that teachers perform for this nation makes money look cheap. At this critical moment in the nation’s history the service of the school teacher js above price. If this service is commercialized, the idealism of the profession will be tarnished without corre- sponding gain. If the professional ideal is ‘main- tained, the reward will follow in dueitime and pubs lic confidence will accompany it.—Minneapolis 1AT BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE [ ‘THE GREAT AMERICAN FRONT PORCH ~ ; [ ¢ ’ “*' BRIDAY; JULY 16, 1920 hes ee: . —— teeth tp ante LF SENATOR HARDING ACCEPTS = LEAGUE ISSUE CHALLENGE Says.President Forces | Issue Upon Democratic Nominees— Harding Demands’ Reserva- tions to Safeguard the Nation from, World Powers.

Harding, who de- clared the republican candidates were more than willing to make’ the elec- tion a national referendum on the question of whether this republic is to be surrounded by European qtar- rels. f yi Governor J. M. Cox will not be pey- mitted to “soft pedal” the league ques- tion. He is trying to-do this, in the opinion of congressman. Nicholas Longworth of Cincinnati, who, with Mrs. Longworth, visited Senator Hard- | ing. Senator Harding takes the Coium- bus dispatches, describing the Cox- Roosevelt conference of Monday and{ calls attention to'this statement: “Governor Cox left it to the vice- presidential nominee to make known | the conclusion reached.” Wilson Forces Issue Authorized to,.speak for both of them, Mr. Harding said, “The vice-| presidential nominee stated that he considered the league of nations one of the dominant issues of the cam- paign, not only in the east but in t west. He expected to make his cam- paign chiefly’ on ‘the league of na- tions issue. ‘ s Senator Harding ‘then proceeds to clarify the situation on’ this basis: “So! we have complete proof that President Wilson has won and’ forced, acceptance of his paramount issuc. The party machinery has been taken over by the !Tammanyites of New York, Illinois and Indiana, but Presi- dent Wilson has forced his issue on them, He has but one concern, and that is the vindication of his foreign policy, first by his party, later by the country.” s (Part in 20 Wars Seen The senator went on to show what a democratic victory would mean. “~The democratic campaign,” he said, “is going to harness the party absolutely to the administration pol- icy of ratification without protection to Anierican interests. Should the democrats win, the league would be ratified and America would become at once a party to the 20 odd wars now going on in the worla.

The obvious implication is that when the United States ratities, the league: will: proceed to settle up these matters; to enforce its author- ity in the conflict between Poland and Russia; . to. settle the Adriatic troubles, compel peace ‘between Tur- key and Greece, assume responsibil- ity for the pacification of the whoje Near East and Middle: East. “All this cannot ‘be done unless the ‘league employes force. “America would have: to contribute its army and navy. -President Wilson has urg- ed acceptance of a mandate for Ar- menia,. which the Harboard mission found would require us to employ a great army and pour’ out money by hundreds of millions: Congress over- whelmingly refused ‘and the’ ‘country has sustained it so insistently that even the San Francisco convention did not dare indorse the mandate. Yet that mandate would hardly be more than an intimation of the many world- | flung conflicts into which Ameri. would be projected by ratification of the league without rigidly safeguard- ing reservations.” Demands Reservations Senator Harding demands the reser- vations pprotect America, He accepts the administration chaflenge in these words: “The president demands a cam- paign-on this issue. The democratic platform makes the issue paramount, and finally the democratic candidates unanimously acquiesce. ‘The-score/or more of democratic. senators ‘who vot- ed for the Lodge reservations are repudiated, the real opinion of the American nation is flouted’ because the president insists on his issue re gardless of cost or consequences, “The republican party and candi- EVERETT TRUE Cet.

She ,also wants to know more about the nature of the ailment. A satisfactory explanation of the nature and !cause of .‘“‘gastroptosis,” as the condition is termed, has not yet been discovered. The condition is' three times more frequent among women than among men, the differ- ence being ascribed to tight lacing and! to child-bearing. . Gastroptosis may exist without pro- ducing any symptoms. In other cases there are “nervous dyspepsia,” dis- ordered appetite, a sense of fullness in the pit of the stomach, often shoot- ing or burning pains in’ the stomach. ‘There may be constipation or an op ‘posite condition of diarrhea, The lower part of the \abdomen is fre- quently distended and sometimes, in persons with very thin abdominal walls, the disclosed viscera may be recognized by their outlines. Among nervous symptoms may he meitioned general weakness, depres- sion of spirits,neadache and fullness of the head, vertigo, cold feet and hands. There may be palpitation ot the heart.

Made No Mistake -When He Bought It Says This Farmer “I have just. been waiting for this opportunity to tell the public what Tanlac has done for me,” said Mathi- as Thomas, a prominent farmer of ‘Little Canada, Minn. while in St, ‘| Paul>the other day. “I consider it my duty to suffering humanity to tell everybody I can bbout this medi- cine. “Six years ago my stomach began troubling me,” continued Mr, Thom- as. “My appetite went back on me and my; stomach got-.in such a bad fix hardly anything agreed with me. Often what little I did eat would sour ; and bloat up with gas till I felt like I was smothering and could hardly stand it. I was always constipated, seldom got a good night’s sleep and was losing weight all the time . “IT had read so much about Tanlac I decided ‘to try it. My appetite pick- ed up right from the start and by the time I had finished the second bottle I felt like a different. person. My stomach trouble stopped and I was no longer constipated. I ‘could sleep better and had gotten back some of my lost weight, and now my appetite is so big I can hardly eat enough to satisfy it.. I can eat fat meats, pota- toes, just anything my appetite calls for,, which I haven’t been able to do before in years. When I say Tan- lac is the best medicine made I am speaking from experiente, for I have tried about all of them in my day.

When the symptoms are due to dis- placement, mechanical ‘means, and perhaps an operation are alone likc- ly to be useful in restoring the organs to their normal situation. The former includes trusses, pads’ and springs, which must be adapted to each case after a careful study, by the instru- sician. Sometimes a simple broad bandage may be of service in reliev ing the symptoms; sometimes a suit. able corset may be worn with suc- cess. At the present day, surgical operation is not infrequent and is commonly successful. By the Inspector d s Washington, July —16.—Whatever good might have come from the ‘war, that part in which. men were man- gled, their nerves shattered and their skulls \broken open was considered the worst. Yet even from those horrors the world will profit greatly. iNeuro-surgery made the greatest ad- vance during the war that it had made in the history of the world,” declares Dr. W. L. Treadway, chief of ‘surgery of the U. S. Public Health servic, It taught us how to do things that we couldn’t do before. In fact, the experience during the war absolutely revolutionized surgery.” - The. very best surgeons of the world were on the battlefields, an they got more experience than they had ‘ever been able to obtain before, in days, past, they had" experienced on animals, and during the war they had men to practice on. The best brain and nerve surgeons got togeth- er and studied what to do in each given case. Their aim was always to save the patient, but, of course, this wasn’t always possible. But when one man died when a certain course was taken, it was easy to see that ‘that /was not the proper method of treatment; . when one got well, the same method was Nothing that had happened in history before had made this possible: t , And the best thing about it all was, this wonderful. experience becamo the property of all mankind. In the case of the.United States, army ant navy surgeons and those of the U. S. Public Health service were in on the ground floor, They were assisted by the ablest specialists in the world. Ass a result all the able doctors who applied themselves during the war were turned out as great surgeons, And ‘surgeon General has established researches in neuro- surgery in relation with the work con- ducted by the military establishment with headquarters at the U. S. Public- Healthy nerves hospital No. 38, New York.
