(Official City, State and County Newspaper) FORGOTTEN RACES Races have left their heraldic devices, so to speak, up- on the walls of the past in every country of the earth, and then passed out of existence and often out of knowl- edz» No anthropological or achacological evidences of the earliest existence of mankind upon the planet have brought conviction as to the origin of man, in respect either to place or manner. The theory of evolution serves a useful purpose and finds all the support necessary to make it a working hypothesis in explaining how mankind may have come up from a unicellular organism. Its best informed ad- vocates are the most reluctant to consider it as being as ex) as the stages in the “house that Jack built.” In the myriad evolutions and devolutions of mankind upon the earth—processes governed not a little by differences and changes in climate—it would be strange if the lab- or of natvre had’turned out but one model of man, or an of a single determinate biological lineage. This scien > admits. The matter of fixing on the cradle of the race has long troubled science, and due to recent expeditions, is of unust... speculative interest at this time. As long as ii. remains 2 mystery, America has the right to put forward its claims to habitability in eras of remote an- tiquity, »ven if the cradle may not be found in this hem- isphere. That cradle has been upset time and again by fresh <!scoveries of man-made relics. Evide. -. of a race older than the Indians have been found in + © United States, and the civilization of the br ‘ct weavers of the Southwest is said to be 4000 years old. Here in America the age of earliest man is in process of being pushed back not only by centuries but by -2ons, “HORSE SENSE” RULES A life insurance company has offered seven “horse sense” rules for keeping fit. The rules are not given as cure-alls, but a plan for cooperating with nature in her ceasless efforts in prolonging life and preserving health. The seven “horse sense” rules are: Learn to play; don’t eat .oo much; take proper exercise; don’t work too herd, either mentally, or physically; don't worry, fuss or lose your temper—the best tonic in the world is optimism and cheerfulness; seek some healthful amuse- ment that diverts the mind and exercises the muscle; once a year have your family doctor examine you for health, not for disease. » Ordinarily seven rules of conduct would not be so difficult in observance but here are given seven rules which regulate every act of every day of our lives. By the exertion of a little will power we would probably not find them much worse than a stern taskmaster in spite of the broad field they cover. How many men and women past thirty know how to play? Are there any in this community who never overeat? Regular exercise is observed by only a smal! minority. Most people work too much or not enough. The most optimistic among us worry too much and lose our tempers too often for the good of our health. More people are, to be sure, participating in the many diver- sions, fads and amusements offered them by modern icivilization and yet too many do not. And as for the seventh rule, where are there men and women who think of the doctor when they are well? ALABAMA ABOLISHES SLAVERY The convict-leasing system long has been recognized > as a relic of barbarism in penal methods. The major- ity of the.states abandoned the practice years ago. Ala- bama clung to it until this year. The system probably . will soon pass entirely out of the American scene. The leasing system is bad: not only because it is marked by a refusal of the state to accept the financial responsibility of restraining those who violated its laws, but also because it leads to inhumanity and cruelty rem- iniscent of slave days, Those who hired convict labor ‘were not iuterested in anything but the amount of work they could get out of the prisoners, Cruelty was only one of the many charges that could be brought against * the employers of prison labor. It was shown repeatedly that human life had little or no value under the syatem. It made little difference whether prisoners were worked in turpentine camps or coal mines, the results ‘were the same. The welfare of the men was measured only in terms of what they could produce and those who | ho; fell below the production standard set by the guards _ ‘were destined to a life of torture almost beyond belief. © ‘The leasing system is at the opposite extreme from the sentimental methods which are now so strenuously ad- The fact that the system is being abandoned there is additional evidence of changing conditions in the South, It would have gone long ago but for the préssure exerted MBING ABOARD comparison the climbing aboard of the Middle West Re- publican insurgents exhibited a certain amount of grace.

Another optimistic sign in the railroad situation is the fact that idle freight cars are being put back into serv- ice. In ole week there was a decrease of 15,000 in the number of idle freight cars. Equally encouraging news comes from automobile and steel manufacturers, and from the soft coal indus- try. Most motor car companies are enjoying a highly profitable year, and new high records for production are being established in the automobile-and soft coal fields. SOVIET FARM RELIEF Farm relief is a momentous question in the distant parts of the world. It may dismay the North Dakota farmer to learn that the pet political issue of the year can also be an issue some place else. Large landowners in the autonomous soviet republic in Russian Turkestan have been driven from their homes and their property divided among the peasants. They have been relieved of their farms. At the same time livestock raisers who possessed more than 100 head of livestock had their herds con- fiscated. The people’s commissars topped off their program of farm relief” by issuing a decree expelling the despoiled landowners and the raided herdsmen from the country. There will be no appeal if past history repeats itself in the soviet countries, The magnitude of the farm relief problem in the United States is strangely diminished when we con- template “farm relief” in Turkestan. We still have the liberty of choice as to how our farm problems shall be solved. What would our farmers say if soviet relicf tactics were introduced in the United States? | Editorial Comment A REAL REST (Weekly Scotsman) The minister had observed that the most regular at- tendant at his church was a hard working washer woman who, Sunday after Sunday, was always to be found in her pew.

A. Clark to the Anaconda concern, a Daly interest, seems to put a war of industrial titans, both now dead for years, among the things that were. It was a fierce struggle that was waged in the '80s and '90s, and its inning, like those of many other wars, of arms or of. was a trivial affair—the price charged to Marcus Daly by Clark for a minor water right. Even the death of Daly in 1900 did not end the con- flict. The enmity of Daly had pursued Clark into poli- tics and from 1889 to 1898 balked his election, first to the house of representatives and then to the United States senate. In the latter year the Montana legis! ture voted the senate seat to Clark, but the fight was carried to that body, and in a famous contest he was denied admission, lavish expenditure being charged against him. Clark was finally seated in the year Daly died. The feud found its sind into the rivalries of New York social life. The magnificent Clark house on Fifth Ave- nue known as “Clark’s Folly” was regarded as his an- swer to a show place built by Daly just before his death. The Montana mine sale is evidence that corporatio1 not necessarily inherit personal wars. Big busine: cold blooded and knows no family loves nor hates. SOUND WORDS FROM DR. COULTER Pept (Minneapolis Tribune) Scientific detachment marked Dr. John Lee Coulter's address on ‘iculture at the Minnesota State fair on Thursday. He showed, clearly and incisively, that in- creased acreage generally means decreased price, and he traced the vicious cycle which has agriculture in its grip, and which has been responsible for so much dis- tress in the northwest apeing th it several years. The vicious cycle is simply this: When the raising of a given commodity has proved profitable for a lim- Neat ae ioe Sandeney a. to ararprodiice Spt ans com- m Wi result that prices are lowered and prof- its wiped out. Dr. Coulter is too astute a student of Agroenitire to be! that the situation is to be rem- edied easily; but he lieves that the best way of hand- ling it is ugh a federal farm board. aking poeatose as an illustration, he says: “There is no doubt in my mind but that a federal farm board could by making a most careful tabulation of po- tato acreage in each county in the United States, ar- rive at a basic acreage, essential for prosperity for the farmers and essential in order to produce an abundant supply for all of the people in the nation. Such a farm ard could cause a stabilization corporation to be formed which might find it necessary to register each farmer having commercial production in the country.

One difficulty in stabilizi be jonni) to ii BY RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, Sept. 10.—While poli- ticians rend the air with arguments about farm relief, representatives of the Department of. Agriculture are flying over the jungles of New Guinea in a hydroplane, trying to find in that South Sea island's unex- plored wilds some disease-resisting varieties of sugar cane which can be introduced in the United States. The expedition is based on the con- clusion that New Guinea was the na- tive home of sugar cane. It is com- manded by Dr. E. W. Brandes, head of the Office of Sugar Plants in the Bureau of Plant Industry, who is ac- companied by Dr. Jacob Jeswiet, a pane authority on cane culture from Holland; C. E. Pemberton of Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Experi- ment Station, and R. K, Peck of El- gin, Ill, the pilot. Pemberton is an entomologist and Jeswiet has studied sugar plant breeding in Java. The party left in April, with a cabin type plane equipped with pon- toons which would enable them to land at interior positions of the island otherwise inaccessible or dif- ficult to reach. The idea had been considered for several years and was finally given impetus by a depres- sion in the Louisiana sugar cane in- dustry resulting largely from declin- ing yields caused by mosaic and root diseases. These diseases were known to have been present in New Guinea, and the! Brandes theory was that resistant| Ji or tolerant varieties of cane would naturally have developed where sugar was indigenous. Tests with similar varieties had been encour- aging. , A propagation garden was estab- lished by the expedition at Port Moresby, where newly collected ‘3 | Specimens have been sent and plant- ed at intervals. Cuttings will be tak- en from the uf ge vn garden and replanted in the department’s sugar cane gardens here for a year’s ob- servation, ee One interesting result of the ex- Ppedition is that the head hunters of the New Guinea interior have lately AT EVENING WHEN GUSTAF, 1 WILL A WEEK,~~No AASHINGTON 4 LETTER, £ been seeing an airplane for the first time. The region being explored consists mostly of dense tropical jungles traversed by rivers on which the hydroplane alights and is inhab- ited by some of the most primitive known species of human beings. The last radiogram received from the party reported that it was about to finish its collecting in western Papua from a base camp on the Fly river. It had established friendly con- tact with a race of Pigmies living on the Alice river and also with the head hunters between the Fly and Strick- land rivers to whom white men ap- parently were quite new. Dr. Brandes reported that the na- tives were overawed by the plane and that he had obtained 14 additional varieties of cane. He indicated that the natives were using sugar cane to make arrow shafts which they used in hunting and inter-triba] wars. “Will walk over mountains to north coast from Port Moresby,” the radiogram concluded, “Established trail not dangerous.” | Varieties of resistant or tolerant sugar cane are not new, as some favorable results have been achieved by the introduction of several im- proved varieties developed at the roefstation Oost Java, an experi- ment station maintained by private planters in Java. More than 170,000 acres were planted in Louisiana last fall with varieties recently introduced from java, Dr. Brandes, however, believed that he could find new varieties which would enable breeders to de- velop straiv- + more desirable for culture in the United States.

The toxins of this disorder have been blamed by physicians for start- ing a large variety of disorders, from alopecia (loss of hair), to tar- salagia (neuralgia of the foot).

Constipation is usually a very chronic sometimes present in some degree from birth to death. The causes of constipation are numerous, The diet of our modern civilization is most at fault, since we use too many of the soft, mushy foods that do not pro- vide enough bulky material for the bowels to act upon, and we also use these sloppy foods in such bad com- binations and quantities that they readily ferment, producing a gas that balloons the bowels. These fermenting and decaying foods produce an inflammation of the intestinal lining that seriously inter- feres with the passage of the food material. The gas pressure and in- flammation often lead to: some ab- normality of the shape or position of the bowel, and weaken the constric- they have: not strength enough to propel the feces forward. Inflammation of long standing sometimes reduces the lubricating material of the bowels and inter- feres with the internal sliding proc- ess or propulsion. Many people use a diet that is far too dry, and oth- ers have a peculiarly thirsty intes- tine that absorbs too much-moisture. In either case, the intestine finds difficulty in pushing forward the waste to be expelled. Where the small intestine joins onto the large one, there is a valve that is supposed to prevent the backing up of waste matter so that it can only flow forward. This valve sometimes becomes weakened and al- lows the putrefying contents of the large intestine to back up and re- turn into the small intestine, where the liquid parts are absorbed and lead to a very serious type of auto- intoxication or self-poisoning, Where these conditions exist, health is im- possible.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: R. H. writes:~ “I have been smoking cigarettes for thirty years. Have tried to stop them but cannot, as I get that feeling in the throat and cannot stop. If there is anything to take, please let me know, as I cannot sleep at night.” Answer: Start in tdéday eating only aed whenever you are hun- gry. Do not take any other food— no soup, milk, crackers, or anything at all except an occasional apple. p-this up until you have lost all desire for cigarettes. This apple cure usually takes only three or four days. If you attempt to smoke dur- ing that time you will find the to- bacco will have a disagreeable fla- vor. You will soon find yourself cured of the craving for tobacco. Question: Alice V. asks: “Will you please tell me what benefit I will receive from eating a dishful of Taw carrots every day?” Answer: The raw carrot is an ex- cellent salad vegetable containing » several of the most important or- ganic salts and vitamins. Due to the organic arsenic, raw carrots make an excellent remedy for improving bad pimpfy complexions, Question: Mrs. A.
