The Fee 1 throughout the agri- cultural states has come in for much censure on the | grounds that it did not function to the advanta | of the farmer, but nourished “big business” solely, | and especially as represented by Wall Street. ‘ Despite the fact that the reserve banks di only member banks, this indirect functioning has a very direct bearing upon the ease with which the ‘business man or farmer secures credit if he is en tided to it. Practically no bank is distant than 24 hours from a member bank and in most in stances the federal bank is within a very few hours reach of a member institution, insuring elasticity of credit upon operations and facilttating the flow of currency to points where the need is urgent. Many of the operations of the federal ‘banks are unknown to the average man in the street. This symposium sets forth in very plain terms just what relation the reserve banks bear to the com mercial life of the nation For instance ther huge daily flow of cur- rency in and out of reserve banks. During the year it aggregates more than ten billion. The s em has cut the cost of collecting checks in half as well as the time of the transaction.

Education Forty years ago there were about 60,000 college and university students in America. Now there are nearly haif a million. While the total population hag increased 70 per cent, the college population has increased 700. Probably nine-tenths of the present students are ' the children of parents who did not themselves go to college. Scarcely one in a hundred of them had college-trained grandparents. What was. only a little while ago the rare privilege of the few is now the opportunity of all and the achievement of multi- tudes. We are carrying on the most stupendous experiment in higher education cred undertaken in the world. 1 We are, in our way, at last achieving the ideal of “an educated democracy.” Far out on the barren plains of western Nebraska, where there isn’t even a small town for miles and the Union Pacific railroad hag oiled every | to jail for s| laws to make such sentences possible. reserve | steps have | ad Cros that dust will not dis st trains ing » on it Th the pa senger a | | \ Liberty le that “libert liberty to drive on opinion the to keep pigs in town, Certain men dwell able where they live close to ! | Mussolini i f th i | back numbe | > mean of the i treet, or | doubtless | are he right individualisms thar natural where fur apart become im things can be left ta themselves 4 simple society whieh have to be vegulated in a complex one But it he people to determine it means te democratic right of a themselves to what govern they will and what they badly mistaken. ‘The world hd yet outgrown the democratic ideal, even if it is fur short of realizing it. for ; ment have, submit, aws wiil not Automobile Fatalities persons were killed daily in July by auto | Sixty | This record should inspire the best minds mohile to evolve some solution of the problem that faces | levery community. ‘There are in th to figure the high ; upon the record of duly.

An Appalling: Waste (Kansas City Star) Every now and then the American pecpte are t about the amount of property destroyed by fire in the country each year. They are reminded that two- irds of the annual loss, which now runs up to $500,000,000 or better, is preventab‘e. Yet nobody seems disturbed about it. The losses go on increasing from one year to another, Now the National Board of Fire Underwriters, perhaps in an effort to make the showing more dramatic, announces that one home is destroyed by fire in America every three minutes. That easily runs up | into a total of several hundred every day and into | an average annual loss of something more than $80, ; 9000,000 on homes alone, Maybe thos: who are responsible for the prevent- able two-thirds of this amount figure, if they figure at all, that the insurance companies wi!l pay the damage. Of course, the question of where the insur- ance companies get their funds is unimportant. And it is unimportant, too, that the rate on fire losses | determines the insurance rates. That is something | too intricate to go into, Maybe it is just as well to | suppose that the insurance companies get their | Money through charity or make good fire losses purely out of philanthropy. At any rate, it is too much trouble to be careful about fire. It is easier to let a house go every three minutes, or even every two minutes if that should become necess: Did Bryan Betray Clark? (Denver News) Mrs. Champ Clark, widow of the one-time speaker of the house of representatives, has written an article in ,which she accuses William J. Bryan of political treason to her husband at the Battimore convention of 1912. Democrats generally, except those whose admira- tion for Speaker Clark was so personal and so in tense, always have held that rk und'd h i by a failure to recognize the sincerity of certain ‘beliefs of the Commoner, and by a feeling that Bryan would not carry conviction through, Prior to the Baltimore convention Mr. Bryan wrote two letters, identical in their wording. He ;Sent one to Woodrow Wilscn und the other ; Champ Clark. Bryan asked the opinion of each of the two candidates concerning the propriety of al- lowing certain delegates, wiom he called reaction ary and capitalistic, to attempt to force the'r views on a liberdl delegate majority. Mr. Wilson an- swered the letter at once and unafraid. In effect he told Mr. Bryan that the men had no place in 2 people's representative body. Champ Clark als» answered the letter at once. He said in effect that into the party ranks. ‘Bryan, after a certain number of ballots, threw his influence and his vote to Woodrow Wilson. Democrats in the main always have believed that Champ Olark’s letter was responsible for his ulti- mate defeat. Clark was a good politician, but he made the mistake of misunderstanding Wiliam Jennings Bryan. free | | | | | | | i sul] tilroad cor: | al press dis: | to | it was a bad time to introduce matters of friction | t | | { | \ | | | |years since the war combined,” the , will work full time this winter to ‘summer, jMmore than $10,000 a year.

Beauty is more than skin deep be- se the clearness of your skin de- large extent upon the leompleteness with which wastes are |eliminated from your body. If your liver, your intestines or your kidneys as well as the skin are not working effectively, that is if these organs do not remove the wastes of the body promptly your skin is apt to be blotched und sallow and often covered with eruptions. | Many people make the mistake of thinking that the care of the face jean be accomplished by merely taking cure of the face, They do not real- ize that proper care of the face con- sists primarily of taking proper care of inside us well a our face is often an outward indication of the condition of your sh air, ventilation, exercise, the care of the skin of the body, menta vigor, a sound diet, together with correct posture, are necessary fact- ors in producing a healthy skin and are, therefore, factors which must be , considered by those who are ambi- {tious to keep the skin in a state of perfection. Really Symptoms of Disease You should know that a great many of the abnormal conditions of the skin of the face are in reality not disease at all. 8 Many of these skin diseases, like headaches, are merely symptoms of disease or symptoms of disorders, in some other part of the body. Often- |times distressing skin conditions are due to disorder in some organ of the body quite remote and unsuspected. Faulty diet is one of the common causes for an unhealthy condition of the skin, A lack of fresh air, due to insufficient breathing, is another cause of unhealthy skin conditions. There are, however,, some skin troubles which are not due to disor- ders in deeper parts of the body, or to a lack of fresh air or failure on the part of some organ of the body to function properly in its capscity as an eliminator of waste. These so-called local skin conditions are as | the body as a whole, care of the | the outside of the SEPTEMBER 1, 1925 ,this, But in principle, the system is | upside-down, ["the responsibility of unionization ought to be on the workers, neither helped nor hindered by the employer. If they unionize, he should deal with the union, us representing its mem- bers. He should not interfere with that unionization, nor evade dealing with it when accomplished. Neither should he be expected to promote, enforce or administer it, ‘The check. off system reverses all this. Breathing Space for China We are not so bad, after all. The nine-power treaty is ratified, and America, for once, was not the last to agree. Under China will soon have a living tariff, and the powers all agree not exploit China or dou- ble-cross each other. The treaty makes it possible, and to the interest of each of the powers, to watch the others. It does not unshackle China all the way, but it does loosen the bonds and give it room to breathe. And it was all done by American in- itiative, through the dread method of international agreement. We have not misunderstood phrases of Washington to warn us against this sensible course, across the Pacific. In that direction, we are free to see with our eyes and think with otr brains. In the other direction, there ate those who would have us think with our memories and see with the words of dead men’s epitaphs. FABLES ON HEALTH PRETTY FACE DEPENDS UPON GOOD HEALTH ja rule the result either of poor cir- culation in the circulatory system of the head and face or they are due to infection. Unquestionably many skins are in- fected through the means of soiled fingers. Many objects with which the hand comes in contact may be the source of infecting organisms. It is not, surprising, therefore, de- spite the immunity whieh man’ has developed, that facial infections do occur and are due to the habit of touching the face with contaminated fingers. Some skins, of course, are imore susceptible to infection ‘than are others. | A simple rule of hygiene is, “De- velop the habit of never touching your face unless you first wash your fingers, especially if the skin of your face is peculiarly susceptible to in- fection.” Another simple rule jhygiene is, “Never use a towel that has been ‘used by others.” And third is, “Use your own individual soap.” Dirt In Air May Infect Face pirt carried by the air may also infect the skin of the face. As in the ease of the hair, so in the case of the skin, the oil pre- serves the skin. While this film of oil protects the face under normal conditions, it ulso acts to a certain extent as ‘a “catch-all” fur dust and disease germs blown about by the Sometimes these germs may be so active and vigorous as to produce an infection of the skin almost im- mediately. Usually, however, this dees not happen, With this fact in mind it should be obvious to all that frequent bathing of the skin and washing of the race is essential, Most skins will submit to frequent washing without protest provided care in the use of soap is exercised. In washing such a skin a generous amount of lather should be produced with a good soap. This should be thoroughly rubbed in and then as thoroughly washed out. Cold water is not as good as, luke warm water for this purpose. Cold water does, however, possess one advantage, it does increase the circulation of the blood in the skin. ‘The average healthy skin will per- mit a brisk and vigorous rubbing with a towel and such a rubbing will affect the circulation and will be helpful in producing a healthy skin condition, believe you unless you are telling the truth.

Nancy and Nick stood in the room below, watching. see you need a thorough dust- ing,” said Tick Tock to the clock. “A clock without a cdse gets very dusty in insides, and it’s no wonder you feel all out of sorts, It’s just the same as if-a person's heart or lungs got dusty. They couldn't wérk either.” ° He took his bellows and blew all the dust out of the old clock’s works, and then he oiled and tightened and wound the old fellow, until the wa, on-the-wall said he felt better he had since before his ocean jour ney a hundred years before. “You see,” he said, “I was fearfully sea-sick on the trip over to America from Holland where I was born, They were a long time getting me cured.” a “Is Holland a nice place?” asked Nancy. “I’ve seen pictures of it in books. It has a good many wind- mills and ca in iit, hasn't it?” “Yes, indeed, and green fields and the bluest sky in the world,” sighed the old clock. “And storks!” forget the storks. One called Klek lived on our roo! : ~ “Oh, do tell us ‘about. him,” Nick, fe Mister Wag-on: ” begged -the-Wall chbixcted: Don't | 4 “I'll tell you a story about Klek and how I haved her nest. For Klek was a Tady stork and mother of a family. “It was this way. Every year when the storks came back from Africa to spend the pleasant summer months in Holland, and raise their families, Klek hunted up the house of Meinheer Van der Loon in /Rot- terdam, the place where I lived. “Vrow Van der Loon, his wife, liked the storks. They were a bit noisy, but they were also fine for eating up garbage and catching flies and mosquitoes, The place was al- ways as clean as a pin when the storks were around for they simply ate up everything. Klek’s nest was on top of the chimney, and it both- ered Meinheer Van der Loon a lot because the chimney » didn’t draw well. At first it wasn’t so: bad, but every year she added to it, Klek did, until it was quite a size. “Usually it didn’t matter as it was summer, but it had been a cold year and a fire was needed, ° “Til have to tear down that stork’s nest today and build a fire in the grate,’ said» Meinheer one day. ‘It is unusually cold for this time of year.’ “‘Oh don’t, Hendrick, begged his wife. ‘What will poor Klek do? The little birds can’t fly yet and where will they go? The sun will warm up tomorrow.’* “‘Tomorrow won't do. The nest must go,’ said the good man, And out he started. “Suddenly I had an idea,” said the clock. “I started to strike, and I struck about a hundred times with- out stopping, “Master was so worried that he stopped to fix me and it took. him all day. He forgot about the fire and the nest, and the next day it Ss warm. I had saved Klek’s nest an I ma very happy.” at's a nice story,” said Nancy.
