There was a lot of talk last year, when Americans looked on starving and exhausted Europe, about “America feeding the world.” It was assumed that the enormous wheat crop, and the other crops of cereals and foodstuffs to be raised in America this summer would pour across she waters in a mighty stream to help feed these starving populations. But, as pointed out by one of the best known New York Stock Exchange firms in its weekly analysis, it is found that, so far from feeding the world the hungry world is pouring foodstuffs into America! During the seven months of this year ended with July, imports of foodstuffs into the United States increased by more than $1,500,- 000,000 over the corresponding period of 1919, while exports of foodstuffs declined about $500,- 000,000. To put the case in another way, the imports of foodstuffs during these seven months amounted to $2,157,090,935, while exports of food- stuffs were only $1,168,094,700. The world sent the U. S. a billion dollars’ warth of foodstuffs, more than the U.S. sent abroad. For the month of July the importations of food reached a total of $232,000,000, while the exports were only $176,- 000,000. The reason? It is not far to seek. Americans have had Sf enormous purchasing power ; the peo- ple of impoverished Europe, none. Exports and imports move in response to economic laws; not sentiment. The best market now is America. People with money get the goods. That may seem hard, but it is true. And so the world witnesses the spectacle of America with plenty of food, yet buying more abroad. NEW DISEASE The nation may well concern itself over this disease striking at the very vitals of the human race. There is need for widespread interest so that the cyre may be placed within every one’s reach. By 31 an This isn’t, to be sure, a.new disease. .Long ‘years ago there were those who suffered with it, especially as winter approached. But, recently, it has become epidemic. Therefore, it demands immediate attention, \ Astounding as it may at first appear, many Jearned and hard-toiling physicians admit them- selves unable to cope with this dire epidemic. Some of the wiser doctors, though, have named the terrible scourge sweeping over the land. They call it “leglessness.” It isn’t that the afflicted really are legless, physically speaking. But they might as well be minus their legs. They don’t use them. And, strange as it may seem, the automobile has done much to bring this epidemic on. The motor has discouraged the use of the human leg. Some few prophets profess to believe the epi- . demic will continue until a legless race is de- ' welopéd:’ “Others think the supply of gasoline will be exhausted before that stage is reached. But not a few insist that the auto has little to do with leglessness; that the easy chair by the liv- ing room radiator is the prime cause of legless- ness, and that the contributing causes are chilly weather, and the growing disinclination to set foot outdoors except on the most pleasant of evenings. But all the doctors agree that leglessness often leads to more serious illnesses and frequently is @ one-way ticket to the cemetery. A BATCH OF ERRORS Harriet Stanton Blatch recently prepared an- other large batch of misconceptions, mistakes and misstatements. In the Socialist Review Mrs. Blatch gives publicity to her idea that women “perform at least three-fifths of the labor of the world.” The married woman, the housekeeper, the mother, the manager of the homes, is, according to Mrs. Blatch, the leader of the army of the expleited. “She lives in slavery,” asserts Mrs. Blatch, explaining: “Women produce the human race, they bake the biscuits, boil the potatoes, broil the steak, and serve the product of their toil to their hungry family.” All of which is partly true. There is good authority, however, for the assertion that father aids in the production of the human race. It is true; often, that woman bakes the bis- cuits. At other times she buys them at the bak- ery, where man has done them nicely brown in a man-made oven. But even when she bakes them, as Mrs. Blatch points out, man delivers the flour at her kitchen door, grinds the wheat into the flour, and first of all, plowed and seeded the ground to produce the wheat. Baking the biscuits is not all of the job. She boils the potatoes, and mere man did nothing but plant the seed last spring, hoe them during the summer, dig them up this fall, and deliver them at the kitchen door. She broils the steak, and mere man does noth- ing to help her but grow the calf, feed and care for the steer, butcher the beef, and deliver it at the kitchen door. The remedy? “In the Socialist Party, and there alone, I find a radical promise to women.” : Does Mrs. Blatch wish one to understand that Socialism will persuade potatoes to boil them- selves, the steak to do its own frying, and the biscuits to hop, unaided into the oven? Or does she serve warning that with the coming of So- cialism father will have to bake his own biscuits? “LOATH TO OFFER” The latest-issue of the Vocational Summary, published monthly by the Federal Board of Vo- cational Education, reprints, the following from an ancient pamphlet entitled “Roger Ascham’s Schoolmaster,” bearing the date of 1565: “And it is pity that commonly more care is had, yea, and that among very wise men, to find out rather a cunning man for. their horse than a cunning man for their children. They say nay in word, but they do so in deed. For to the one they will gladly give a stipend of 200 crowns by the year and are loath to offer to the other 200 shillings. God that sitteth in heaven laugheth their choice to scorn and re- wardeth their liberality,.as it should. For He suffereth them to have’ tame and well-ordered horses but wild and unfortunate children.” It is interesting to note that this matter of inadequate pay for “scholomasters” was a satiri- cally burning question 350 years 4go. Even then there were people who thought a child, as a representative unit of not only mental but also moral force, more precious and funda- mentally powerful as regards the state than—a means of igy riding. \ The wages for grooms in 1565 seems to have been about (translated into American money) $240 a year as against $48 “Joathingly offered” to educators. The stable boy’s stipend was close tc three times as much as the schoolmaster’s. Today the minimum wage for a “cunning man) who tinkers with the insides of automobiles. is $1.25 an hour or approximately $3,000 a year. The minimum pay for men and women who spend many years and more dollars preparing them- selves for the position of educating America’s fu- ture voting citizens is, according to current tables, around $1000 a year. And so, after three and one-half centuries, the ratio remains the same. The fact is rather start- ling. Especially when it, is remembered how trip- pingly tongues have. been mouthing such phrases as “adequate compensation,” “education is the solution,” economic evolution,” et cetera—et cetera ad infinitum!

The body of a healthy person will resist its growth and may kiltthe germs, but in a weak body and without proper care the germs multiply until the lungs are consumed and the person dies, These germs are found \in ‘the sputum (spit) of a consumptive—in small numbers in the very early stages , of the disease, in larger nurnbers, as the disease progresses, and in count- | less millions in the late stages. Among the earlier symptoms which one can observe, and which should lead one at once to consult a pliysi- cian, are: Slight cough, lasting a month or longer ; loss of weight ; slight fever in the afternoon; night sweats; bleeding from the lungs, Many persons who.have these early symptoms of tuberculosis lose valuable time, and often their only chance of recovery, by relying. on, the promises of patent medicine fakers and medical quacks.
