State and County Newspaper) Baseball King Baseball regained his throne yesterday *to reign for another eight months in renewed ‘splendor. Of all monarchs he alone as the years roll by loses none of his traditional pub- ic favor. For Americans the year comprises five seasons—baseball, spring, summer, fall ‘and winter—but the greatest of these is the ‘season of baseball. What other season of the year is looked forward to. with as much expec- “tation and yearning as that of the great »American game? i Not all of the one-hundred-and-fifteen mil- lions of men, women and children in the United «States are all-year-round or all-season-round «baseball enthusiasts, but is there one who does ‘not realize the triumphant coming of the three great days of the baseball calendar, which ‘are the opening day of the season and the +first and last days of the world series? ‘Spring and fall mean little to the baseball far ‘except that they herald the coming of the first ‘game of the season and of the world series, re- “Brectively. :,.

Un- able to venture to distant lands, the citizen compromises by moving into the next block but one. The spring beguiles him into think- ing that it will be pleasanter there. All of this has a meaning. The winds of April blow the mists of custom from our eyes and we can see better. We discover that we have been shamefully cheated of our heritage. We were born to lofty chances and broad fields; yet behold! Here we are, somehow, cooped up in shops and offices, or ghained to niggardly farms, spending our lives in prosaic toiling, getting and spending, and never once having so much as a glimpse of that rich, unfettered | life of which we know we are capable. So, naturally enough, we want to go away. Below the equator, surely, the bonds of this workaday world will not be so tight. We have been defrauded of our patrimony here at home; perhaps if we venture to Siam or Socotra we can get justice. i Well; we can’t go, and that ends it. But at! least we know. No one can tell us, in the! spring, that the chief end of existence is to store up dollars and mind the catch-penny maxims of thrifty starvelings. We are sons of eternity, and life is everlasting, free and noble. Let the fetters of circumstance hold us never so tightly, that knowledge is: ours. We know our rights, even if we can’t get them. 1 Editorial Comment The Floundering of Mr. Fall (Minneapolis Journal) Albert B. Fall, admitting that his first story about the hundred-thousand-dollar “loan” was false, now tells another story, which Senator Reed Smoot and former Senator Irvine Len- root swear is just as false. Whether Fall “covered up” with the knowl- edge or advice of somebody else, would seem to be beside the point. That he did it because of the obvious interpretation that would be put on the knowledge that he received money in any form from the beneficiary of the Elk Hills oil transaction, is admitted, too. It is hard to see how Fall’s latest story helps his case in the least. When he needed money in large sums, he got it from the two men to whom he had leased the oil reserve. That might be just a coincidence, albeit a strange one. But both the “loan” from Doheny and the “sale” of an interest in his ranch to Sinclair were cloaked in all the secrecy with which a yegg- }man normally shrouds a midnight visit to a | village bank.

Tells of Early Life Hoover today tells of the old swimming hole under the willows down by the railroad bridge, of coasting down Cook's hill on sleds in icy winter, of catching rabbits in a figure-four trap and how, when fishing with a butcher string line and hooks that cost 10 for a dime, the boys used to spit on the bait for “good luck.” “And there never was a__ better cook than Aunt Millic,” Hoover says. “I have since caten pre- is a poor success, but is merely shy. If he ever slappe: back or laughed BY RODNEY DUTCHER Washington, April 12.—Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska has gone out home to help renominate and elect his colleague, Senator R. Beecher Howell. He is one of the most valuable sen- ators on these premises, but one of the poorest spellbinders. His mind and most of his record are that of a civil engineer. His interest in ipally-owned public utilities led— or forced—him into politics. No man’s soul is stirred when Howell speaks. He resembles Hoover in that he is more at home before a group of engineers or other men in- terested in facts and figures rather than words. He knows his stuff. different types, each admires the other, which is more than is true of most pairs of senators, Norris carries more conviction in speeches than almost anyone else and he is such an idol to Nebraska voters that his efforts probably would save Howell if nothing else would. Each can SUnpORE the other whole-heartedly, for they nearly al- ways vote the same way. 8 « Both are independent Republi- cans.

There is such an intimate connection be- tween the metabolic perversion in these three groups that we often see combinations of diabetes and obesity of diabetes and rheumatism, or of rheumatism and ity, or even all three together. In diabetes the first important thing to do is increase the general iti tient; secondly, to substitute protein as much as pos- sible for the carbohydrates, and then to build up the patient’s strength so that metabolism in general will be- come more perfect. In obesity the essential thing to do is to cut down on the quantit; of food. In this way the body wiil be encoura; to use up its fat reserve, and a reduction of weight is bound to be produced.

Send a large, self addressed stamped envelope for my article, “Those Mys- terious Ear Noises.” Question: Mrs. I. O. asks: “Do our bodies require milk? If so, when should we drink it?” Answer: Milk is a wholesome food if used properly, but of course is not absolutely necessary, as other foods can supply the same elements. Study the menus published in this column each Saturday, and you will soon learn how to use milk properly. Question: Inquirer asks: “Will you kindly advise me what would be the cause of stiffness and soreness in the side of the neck? Might this be the result of cold or do you think it might come from a hurt? Is it a form of rheumatism or neuralgia, and what treatinent would you ad- vise? I have suffered from this condition for six months. Have tried rubbing with different kinds of liniments, also used hot applications without any good results.” Answer: Go to an osteopath or chiropractor and get his opinion. An X-ray picture of your neck vertebrae and a personal examination will surely disclose the cause of your trouble. Question: Mrs. G.
