But no man in Washington ever questioned Senator George’s announced ‘mor tive in championing the rights: of. the states to manage their own af: fairs, _ It so happens that the largest individual contributor to Senatot George’s campaign in 1922 was Frank E. Shumate, vice president of the Georgia Power company. But the amount was only $750 and George and Shumate have been Iife, long friends, as the senator told me when I asked him about it. Born in 1878 Senator George comes from an old family in rural Georgia, his an- cestors having migrated from South Carolina several generations ago. He had two uncles in the Confeder- ate army, his father being only 10 years old at the outbreak of the Civil War. Born on a farm near Preston, Ga., on January 29, 1878, he has spent his life amid rural surround- "“Speechless” banquets are quite tNe-vogue in Manhattan.

The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 and subsequen: territorial acquisi- tion increased that acreage about seven times. Our public lands al- ways have been in “the west,” for before the government was formed all the land in the north and east- ern sections had been divided. Earliest laws governing the pub- lic domain permitted speculators and large investors to obtain huge tracts for small sums. no qualification requiring that the purchaser be a bona fide settler and the absentee landlord system soon spread over a wide area of what had been the domain, . It appears from available records that speculators and land compan- ies bribed congressmen, state legis- lators and land office officials from the very start. In 1795, for in- stance, the Georgia legislature sold several million acres of land to four large companies and so loud and widespread was the accusation of bribery that the people of Georgia elected an almost entirely new leg- islature which rescinded the sales. After Georgia later ceded this land to the federal government, land com- panies lobbied for 20 years for fed- eral reimbursement—and got it! Meanwhile, in Washington, the Ohio Land Company had received 100,000 acres by act of Congress in 1792. It bought some 900,000 acres for $650,000, and instead of paying in money, tendered at face value government e¢ertificates and army land warrants purchased at very heavy discounts. Ohio being directly in civiliza- tion’s westward line of march, the company was able to sell to settlers with enormous profits. Meanwhile, some state legislatures and individ- uals were complaining at this prac- tice of delivering choice lands, with minerals and farm their timber, @ WAS | be: sites, into the hands of such land companies, ee In 1796 Congress “reformed” that policy with a law providjng for sale of public lands on credit. This, it was held, would enable the poor settler to get land on equal terms with the big fellows. But the speculaters went right on obtaining vast tracts by the simple process of bribing land of- ficials to withhold the best S and to allow “dummy” settlers first choice. Later, when these lands came into great demand they were sold at greatly advanced prices. The speculators then paid the gov- ernment out of the profits or evad- ed payment altogether. In 1824 the Illinois legislature complained that non-resident speculators had the st land. There was a Senate Public Lands Committee in those days, too. It reported in 1834 that combinations of speculators had united at public sales to drive away competitors and discourage poor men from Peadings Buying at $1.25 an acre, they sold later at exorbitant profits. (In 1820 the minimum price for gov- ernment land was lowered from §2 to $1.25, where it remains today.) The committee said that registers and receivers of the U. S. Land Of- fice had been bought up by the speculators and had been receiving portions of the profits of the de- frauders. It pointed to Ohio, Ala- bama, Mississippi _and Louisiana as “the principal theater of specu- i lations and frauds in buying up‘the public lands.” eva negroes, half-breds vagrants to justices in remote counties, avhere lands were granted on wit to to be turned over to The credit system jually abandoned, but the pr auce tioning public lands continued, with sales at the rate of about 2,000,000 acres a year. This land was posed to be for the settlers, of it went to the speculators a8 con- gressional committees reposted again and again during the first half of the century.

Though I’m sorry it went as far with Mr. Pedro. You see, Marye dear, I can’t get used to the idea of a man telling a married woman he loves her and her not taking it as an insult. Words don’t count—it’s direct ac- tion, Frank says. Well, maybe if Alan finds out that this man is an- noying you there will be some direct action.

We Americans don’t change our customs and habits to conform with those in the foreign countries we visit, the travel books inform us. So why should we ex- pect foreigners to adopt our ways when they come here? Unless, course, they’ve come to make @ home and an easy living and expect to become American citizens.

There is no method of treatment which cag be applied to the ailing body that can be used with more scientific accur- acy. You all know how much I preach the philosophy of self-cure and be: lieve the patient should learn to cure himself and not depend upon others for help except to learn from intelligent physicians how to change his bad habits of living to good ones. Yet, there are times when one is unable to get good vice regarding diet, exercise, etc., and feels the necessity of relying upon some treatment to assist in bringing about a satisfactory change for the better. A short out~ line of the treatment of the differ- ent ailments by electrotherapy may be of some help in encouraging you to consult a modern Be jician who has the proper elect: equipment to give such treatments. It is first essential that you un- derstand how this force can bring about a change in the body. The different forms of electricity can be used to produce either a mechanical or a chemical action on the bodily structure, and many times these two actions are combined in one treatment, The sinusoidal current will affect a muscle so as to contract it. By turning the current on anl off the muscle contracts and relaxes in much the same manner as if exer- cise were taken. By the use of suit- able reeled this current can be applied to any of the voluntary or involuntary muscles, and thus the muscle is strengthened in a very definite way. This treatment is especially help- ful in Nekbd a better tone to the abdominal muscles and those of the Ingge intestine, which muscles are weaker than normal with the majority of people. This current can even be used oy enough to make the bowels move involuntarily. You can readily see to what num- ber of uses this contracting electric- al force may be applied with bene- fit which cannot be obtained through a gallon of medicine. Pro- lapsed organs of the abdomen can be raised to their normal position with the resultant effects which can be maintained then sub- sequently by substituting systemat-| cl ic physical culture exercises for the electrical treatment. The High-Frequency current acts both mechanically by increasing the cireulation and chemically by as- sisting metabolism, and is used ad- hardening of the arteries, and in nutritional disorders, The Galvanic current has also a mechanical and chemical effect, but the chemical change from its use is Dr. McCoy will gladly answer personal questions on health and diet, addressed to him, care of the Tribune. Enclose a stamped addressed envelope for reply. so definite that this form of elec- tricity stands alone in this respect. Two electrodes must be used on the body in different places and the na- ture of the current is such that one of the applicators will produce an acid condition of the adjoining tis- sue, while the other will have the opposite, or alkaline reaction unon the tissue surrounding it. One will have a_softening effect and the other a hardening action. You can readily see how this current would do a great damage in the hands of an incompetent physician. have barely touched upon the uses for electricity in the treatment of bodily ills, but I trust that if you are not well you will not overlook this science of electrotherapy to help while you are learning how to live so as to stay well. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: Marie P. writes: “I have heard a great deal about your work and success. Would it be pos- sible for you to give me any diet to cure an over-active thyroid? I am not able to work at present on this account.” Answer: An over-active thyroid simply means an irritated thyroid. It is first essential to remove all irritating toxins from the blood and then go on a careful diet which does not produce any more glandular ir- ritation. The complete treatment for such trouble cannot be given in the short space allowed in this col- umn, so if you will write to me again, fiving your name and ad- dress, I will send you more com- plete instructions.
