Dr. Noguchi was a Japanese, working as a ff member of the Rockefeller Foundation of the United States, cooperating with scientists | ‘from the British Government Research Insti- tute in an effort to wipe out yellow fever in PAfrica. | And there, if you please, is a story of inter- laational cooperation more encouraging and Hneartening than all the armament conferences fand world courts ever invented. | African yellow fever is not quite the same las the yellow fever of the West Indies, which Gorgas knocked on the head. It is not the same as the South American yellow fever, which Dr. Noguchi himself did so much to con- quer a few years ago. It is more virulent and fore puzzling than either of these. Dr. Nogu- shi went to Accra last fall to tackle it. - In January he himself contracted the dis- fease. He studied his own case, extracting ood from his own veins and making a serum From it. Eventually he isolated the micro- rganism that causes the malady. Shortly af- rward he died. It has been a long time since the newspapers fave told so inspiring a tale. It is always stir- ting to read of heroism and self-sacrifice; and laothing can be much finer than the thought lef that Japanese scientist, alone on the pesti- Fential African coast, watching death approach jand coolly taking notes on its aspect. Yet it faas an even broader significance than that. We talk a great deal of the brotherhood of fman. We feel that some day the world will be ible to transcend international boundaries and Bivalries, although we do not think it can be Mone for centuries. Yet behold! In the town Accra, Japan, America and Britain were bworking together to help Africa shake off a plague. While the rest of us talked about rotherhood, these men made it a fact. f Dr. Noguchi was more than a scientist. His fe and death were symbols; symbols of the Jazzling, limitless possibilities that await the when all of us can see with the selfless ion of that Japanese doctor. Decentralization Needed + In a recent public address President Coolidge in revealed himself as a defender of state’s dghts. He has been consistently opposed to urther centralization of government in Wash- on and has dared even to advocate some ecentralization. There is much food for hought in the following words of the chief xecutive: “One of the most important institutions vhich became more firmly established as the sult of the Revolution was the old theory of self-government, But there are always ose who are willing to surrender local self- pvernment. Whenever they find that some puse needs correction in their neighborhood, tead of applying a remedy themselves, they to have a tribunal sent on from Washing- on to discharge their duties for them, regard- s of the fact that in accepting such supervi- m they are bartering away their freedom. Ve have long since realized that we have be- pme one nation, but it is a nation founded on e individual states. Their rights ought al- rays to be scrupulously regarded.” Perhaps it is because the people and their ypresentatives in Washington have enter- mined the same thoughts that the number of deral departments has not increased for some During the present session of congress pre has been operating in Washington a trong lobby working for the creation of a fed- department of education with its own sec- tary in the cabinet, but congress has in- ted it will not consider the question this pasion, i Federal control of the schools may never me for the reason that the individual states continue to resist this encroachment by national government.

And his less active competitors will probably say, “The iucky stiff.” Our Changing Exports The change that has come over the United States in the last half century is graphically illustrated by a chart prepared by the Central National Bank of Cleveland, 0. This chart analyzes United States export commodities on the basis of statistics from the Department of Commerce. In the old days America’s great exports were raw materials, Europe sent ships here for things like grain, cotton, lumber and coal. Now, however, 41 per cent of our exports are finished manufactured articles. Crude mate- rials and foodstuffs have fallen to around 33 per cent. : That indicates the change. No longer does Europe send us finished products and take our raw materials in exchange. Instead she buys cloth. The most signifjcant part of our na- tional history in the last half century is bound up in that commercial shift.

The pioneers who settled here back in 1882- 85 experienced many hardships that few of the people of our present generation would care to encounter. Some of them walked in from the eastern part of the state. Others drove in with yokes of oxen, carrying with them a few farm tools, several sacks of flour and a little bacon. ‘They found no towns on the prairies, the only sight that greeted their eyes was a broad expanse of waving native grass. They found no highways, but had to depend on old Indian trails. There were no bridges and they found difficulty in crossing the streams. There were no habitations of any kind. There were no churches, no schools, no doctors or drug stores. Most of these early settlers were young and strong and didn’t feel the need of the services of a physician or a surgeon. There was not half as much complaint over conditions then as we hear nowadays from many who followed them, but came in a fine railway train to within a few miles of their Ha home, a town near by and plenty of neigh- rs. Our hat is off to those sturdy pioneers, The Farm Issue (St. Paul Dispatch) Disappointing as it is of agricultural hopes, the veto message of President Coolidge at least serves the end of sharply defining the farm issue. The ultimate purpose of the McNary- Haugen bill is to place the prices the farmer receives for his crops on the same high level as those of the things he buys. Prices of farm crops on the one hand and those of industry are out of line. The farmer buys dear and sells cheap, and the fault lies with a protective sys- tem of paternalistic laws which do not work out for agriculture with the same effect as for manufacturing. The farmers have been de- manding that their system of prices be raised to the general level. President Coolidge says in his veto message that he opposes legislation calculated to have that effect. The disagree- ment is fundamental. Objections to the McNary-Haugen bill, which have caused its dismissal, therefore, do not run against its method of proceeding. President Coolidge’s disapproval runs in last analysis against the very purpose of the bill and would come down upon any scheme of legislation that aimed at the same thing. The President frankly admits in his message that his plan for making loans to co-operatives would not solve the so-called problem of the surplus. It is the fact that America grows an export surplus of its staple crops which pre- vents the tariff from working for the farmer as it does for the industrialist. Control of this situation had no place in President Cooldige’s own plan of lending money to co-operatives. “The object of my proposal,” says President Coolidge, “is to aid in adjusting production to demand, to afford farmers a greater bargain- ing power, to handle surpluses due to seasonal and other causes beyond the control of pro- ducers when unaided by strong business organ- izations, to minimize price fluctuations and to reduce the margin between the price paid by the consumer and the price received by the producer.” All this he intended to accomplish by encouraging the co-operative movement through government loans, He opposes the McNary-Haugen bill because, as he puts it, “The real objective is to raise domestic prices to artificially high levels by governmental price fixing and to dump the surplus abroad.” It is apparent that from the opponents of the farmer has come no genuine alternative to the McNary-Haugen bill, nothing on which compro- mise could be based. There are no concessions which the farmers can make now or could have made at any time in the past that would have avoided the veto, except at the price of surren- dering all idea of getting the justice agricul- ture demands. Vague promises about coopera- tive marketing or diversification will not satisfy rural discontent. What the farmers want is a place of equality in the American economic system. The veto precipitates a political issue of the first magnitude. The question is whether agri- compelled to labor on under the present funda- mentally unfavorable conditions, man made and governmentally sanctioned. farm prob- lem, having been reduced to fundamental dis- agreement, accordingly must now be projec into the field of politics for solution. company charges up part of the merchandising expense and most of the advertising up to operation— and the customer has to pay the bill in the rates permitted for elec- tric_service on that basis. “Through his meter,” Walton complains, “the independent mer- chant m pay the losses of his biggest competitor.” Walton is armed with a wad of documentary evidence on the situa- tion.

The only ‘e method of diagnosing in- testinal worms is to see them or sec- tions of them in the bowel move- ments. The most well known worm is the tapeworm, which is the largest of all the varasites that inhabit the human. It is usually found in the small intestine, and may be diag- nosed by finding sections of the worm in the stool. Other frequently found worms are the thread worm, the round worm, and the hookworm. There are others of various sizes and shapes. Most of these worms enter the body directly with the food which con- tains the cggs. The worms grow first in the tissues of some animal, and if meat is not thoroughly cooked before eating, here is an opportun- ity for the worms to develop from the eggs. “eef, pork and fish are the meats most frequently affected. There is less danger now than formerly, because the big packing houses maintain a very rigid in- spection of all meat sold. Thes2 worms once established in the human, take their nourishment from the food of their host. This is the reason the individual harboring them usually becomes thin and has an enormous appetite. There is oft- en_a nervous irritation. These parasites will often release their hold if the patient goes on a long water fast of from one to three weeks. If the worms do not detach then, the patient should take one of the numerous worm remedies which can be secured from any druggist. These remedies usually consist of something repugnant to the worm or something to expel it. The whole worm will often be passed with the next movement of the bowels. Pin worms are usually found in the lower colon, and can usually be expelled by the use of two enemas aily. In children, it is not advisable to place them on a strict fast. Good results will follow the use of an ex- clusive acid fruit diet for several days, accompanied by the enemi There are many other typer parasites found in the bowel con- tents, mostly micro-organisms in- cluding many disease bacteria.

I surely wouldn’t consider you of less importance, Marye, than my pansy bed, and yet I had to have a regular set-to with the new people who've moved in next door because their dog dug up my plants and they didn’t seem to think it amounted to anything. I’ve worked hard on those pansy beds and I’m not going to have them destroyed. I guess Mr. Wells felt the same way about Shir- ley. I wish he’d been able to make an example of the young man. May- be if people always had to pay for the damage they do there’d be less damage and fewer accidents. Get- ting off too easily only leads people into further recklessness. With all my love, F MOM.

QUESTIONS ANR ANSWERS Questio: J. G. writes: “Will you please tell me what I can do for my nose, as no matter how much cream Mi haa I put on it, it is always red as a Leet at the point?” Answer: A red nose is an evi- dence of continued intoxication, either from the over-use of alcoholic stimulants, or from dietetic errors which fee autointoxication. The latter fs the most common cause of red noses, and even our most sin- cere Saran often carry around a red, shiny nose that, in the old days, we used to think was ac- cle only by the “town drunk- rd,’ Question: H. L. asks: “Will you tell me if cocoa and chocolate are fattening?” Answer: If you are under- weight, no .mount of “stuffing” on these foods will permanently and healthfully build you up; if you are over-weight, it is certainly not ad- visable for you to use them. Question: B. C. asks: “What causes the feet to sweat, and the cure?” Answer: The feet sweat more than most parts of the body be- cause they are enclosed in the leath- ery covering of shoes, This holds in the heat and produces the exces- sive sweating. Those who are too much troubled with sweating feet should be careful to change their socks least once daily, and take al- so two sponge.or shower baths daily to cleanse the skin all over the body. If the pores are thus kept clean, the sweat glands will be more active in other parts besidea the feet. It is a good plan to provide yourself with several pairs of shoes so that any one pair is not used more than once or twice weekly. Do not apply any- thing to keep the feet from sweat- ine but keep them as clean as pos- sible, is served while you sit, rather than while you stand. These are cer- tainly gala and frequently gay. Of the receptions I have attend- ed in the past week—and I’ve lost count—that staged in the suite oc- cupied by Miss Camilla Horn, latest movie find, continues to amuse me most. Miss Horn, unaccustomed to the “go-getter” American ways, had become quite tired, thanks to the rushing about to photographers, reporters and such. When the “few friends” dropped in she made no at- tempt to disguise her fatigue and summarily fell asleep. Jean Hersholt, one of my two fa- vorite film character players, held his reception around a couple of bridge tables, at which sat his wife and son—the latter insisting on so lowly a dish as beans. And Lily Damita, M. Goldwyn’s newest find, had mama present and served noth- ing but tea.
