Buried mud that had been undisturbed for centuries, they upon two curigus blocks of stone—the chief ma- of a Roman flour mill, abandoned by its oper- Gr ect something more than 1500 years ago. i Judges by present standards, the mill was a crude af- to . It would never get any recognition in Minneapolis. ut once—before it sank, forgotten, into the mud—it was much a representative of a superior civilization in a land as a modern radio in an African jungle. ‘The discovery of relics of a vanished day is always at- ‘ive meat for speculation. Nothing is more inter- j than the contrast it presents between the present the past. ‘Think of it for a minute. When that old flour mill i was one of the distant frontiers of the world. metropolis was Rome. England was a remote prov- ‘Unce and London was only a muddy town. The weather- geaten soldiers who garrisoned the place—for whose com- department, possibly, that flour mill was set up— o doubt cursed their assignment and longed for a trans- “back to civilization,” much as an outpost infantry ts nt in the Philippines today yearns to be shifted to the United States. A good deal has happened since then. The scepter bf world Cominion deserted Rome long ago, to land event- in that same foggy London that the Legionaires mee regarded so critically, and to shown signs of mov- ‘again, this time across an ocean that was then the ittermost boundary of universe. About the place the old flour mill was left to its fate has arisen a city, and the old pieces of machinery were bught to light because a modern bank has to go up on ‘spot. ‘This is the sort of thing that a discovery like that through one’s head. It is like a history lesson, ex- that it is rather more valuable. It re-emphasizes the truth—that change is everlasting, and that the things build with our hands, no matter how permanent they seem, are relatively short-lived. of the permanencies of the days of those Roman plonists have gone.

NEW FARM METHODS Whatever the ins and outs of farm relief as a general ! subject may be, it is becoming evident that the applica- tion of scientific principles to agriculture is a first essen- tial. | ‘The extension service of the State college of Washing- ton recently issued a bulletin te dairy farmers of that state, pointing out that any dairy cow which failed to produce at least 300 pounds of butter fat a year costs her owner more than she gives. The farmer actually is out at the pockei at the end of the year with such cows in| his herd. score of years ago the average farmer wouldn't have known what you meant if you talked about “butter fat” and the like. The old methods of farming, glorified by | unthinking conservatives, were wasteful and inefficient. Scientific hods, exemplified by this Washington State college activity, are what agriculture needs. CUTTING YOSEMITE’S TREES | n of the beauty of the great Yosemite National Park is due to the huge stand of beautiful] timber that grows on that great public playground. But it happens that much of this timber—11,000 acres of it, to be exact—is owned, not by the government, but by private individuals. And several lumber companies are preparing to exercise their rights and cut down | their trees. | T>> government, without additional legislation, cannot | prevent it. Representative Louis Crampton of Michigan has introduced a bill in Congress to appropriate funds lenablinz the government to buy the privately owned lands within the park and save them for the enjoyment of all the people. If you're interested in the preservation of one of your greatest parks, you might drop a line to your congressman about it. M Half of our lives are spent talking to people about other people. When you start out to get rich quick you are liable to set poor quicker. The chief trouble with being a man is shaving takes }longer than smearing on a little rogue.

This man of the cloisters— this scholar in politics—was human enough to drop into good American vernacular when occasion arose. TAKING UP LABOR SLACK (New York Evening Post) What is new in Mr. Hoover's plan for relieving unem- man who is soon to occupy the highest office in the | | nation. | Mr. Hoover himself outlined the plan some years ago when the amount of unemployment in the country had | led to a study of causes and remedies. If contracts for public or quasi-public construction to | the amount of anything like $3,000,000,000 are to be held | in reserve for times of acute unemployment there will have to be practical acceptance of the Hoover program | not cnly by federal, state and local governments, but also by private interests. | This result is hardly to be brought about by wholesale | ; agreement. Governor Brewster suggests that private bus- | @s soon as the practicability of the plan has been demon- | strated. Probably local government units will similarly | | fall in line with their state governments, some of which | will act simultaneously with Washington instead of | waiting. In any event, it is for the Federal the example in a large way. ‘FOR MAN’S ILLUSION GIVEN’ (New York Sun) We quote Mr. Virgil Jordan, an economist: | i This country is now firmly in the grasp of a | “prosperity complex,” which has been gradually | and insidiously built up during the last few years. Prosperity in the present situation is rather a state of mind than a fact susceptible of demon- stration. Let not the sleeper awake. If the money in the sav- | ings banks is but the figment of national imagination, | |let it continue to pile up interest. If the deeds in the | safe deposit boxes are only pleasant phantoms of the night, still keep them under lock and key. If the good wages in the weekly envelope are a golden mirage. better to fix the eye upon it than upon the desert. If the car in the garage and the radio set in the library and the pbenperann in the parlor are dreams, let the illusion con- inue. Perhaps the good clothes you see in the street are but the “baseless fabric of a vision.” The hypnotic influence of prosperity persists. The ringing speeches of the demo- cz:.:ie orators in the late campaign could not arouse the hanpy subjects. Professor Jordan's pinching is as likely to be in vain.

It causes cold hands and feet, and may cause the skin to assume a pale or purplish color sim- ilar in appearance to the skin of one who has been drowned or asphyxi- ated. Elderly people or those who are weakened by disease or excesses, al- most invariably suffer from a poor circulation of blood. ‘The principal causes of a poor cir- culation can be listed as follows: 1, If the valves of the heart are diseased, the heart cannot pump the blood into the arteries with suffi- cient force. 2. An inflammation of some in- ternal organ may cause such a local engorgement of blood that the ex- tremities will have a deficient sup- ply. 3. If one is tired or a low vitality his nerves do not send the proper stimulation to the arteries and veins, and the arteries, especially, lose much of their power to contract and propel the blood. 4. Because of a toxic irritation, the walls of the capillaries may thicken and their calibre become so small that the blood can only pass with diffi- culty. 5 There may be obstructions or thickening material in the blood stream preventing its free passage through the capillaries. 6. A poor circulation below the waistline may be caused by tight cor- sets, belts or garters, or by prolapsed abdominal organs pressing on the veins coming from the legs. Tight collars may cause a slowing of the circulation of the face, making it puffy. Tight hat bands may impede the circulation to and from the scalp and constitute a common cause of baldness. The causes of defective circulation which I have just outlined will sug- gest why some cases can be readily corrected and why others take much time and effort. You can not expect your sluggish circulation to improve if you just sit around and wait for it to do so. Everyone working at a sedentary occupation will have a poor circular pecially noticeable during the cold ti it is 8 good plan loo by fasting and dieting. The blood will circulate more freely when thus fied. For all kinds of defective circula- tion it is @ good plan to take walks each day. This increases : =~ Dr. McCoy will personal questions on health and diet, addressed to him, care of the Tril heart action and induces more of the rapid breathing so necessary for ox- idizing the blood. Do not be disap- pointed if you do not notice a big improvement within a few days. Con- tinue to gradually increase your physical and breathing exercises and follow the right diet and you will soon be rewarded with rich, red blood bounding to every cell of your body. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Snuff Question: W. P. asks: “In what way does smuff affect a person? Does it cause weakness and nervousness?” Answer: Snuff is made from very strong tobacco and it is possible for the nicotine in snuff to cause a cer- tain amount of poisoning. This would cause weakness and nervousness, Adhesions and Appendicitis Question: Mrs. J. E. asks: “Would adhesions caused from an appendicitis operation cause one’s right leg to ache? I had the operation five years ago and have been bothered with the adhesions only in the last few months.” Answer: Adhesions on the right side around the cecum frequently cause such pressure on the nerves going into the leg as to produce an aching or numbness in the right leg, This is also due, sometimes, to an accident during an operation when some of the nerves are severed. However, the pain may be only due to the right side of the colon being packed with fecal matter. After an appendicitis opera- tion the cecum and ascending colon lose much of their muscular tone and there is more tendency to bloating, distention and packing of feces then even before the operation, tion unless vigorous exercises are taken at some time during the day. Regular physical culture exercises are invaluable as the relaxing and con- tracting of the muscular tissues not only develop the muscular tone of the lood vessels but also exert a pump- ing action upon the lymphatic ves- sels and veins. Deep breathing exercises produce an immediate stimulation of the circula- tion, and regulated breathing exer- cises are probably the best means for bringing about a freer circulation in all parts of the body and at the same time cause the oxidation of many toxic substances. If the blood nas become laden with toxic substances which irritate the in- ner lining of the blood vessels and cause the circulation to be sluggish, Condiments Question: L. P, asks: “What ef- fect does salt have on a person’s blood, also in inflamed stomach? Does pepper, mustard, vinegar, injure one’s stomach” Answer: The condinfents vou have mentioned are always irritating and of course injure in proportion to the excess amount in which they are used. It seems necessary to flavor food with salt especially when it is overcooked and the natural sodium chloride de- Stroyed. The use of excessive condiments will undoubtedly bring on an inflamed condition of the stom- ach and intestines, and if such con- diments are used at all they should always be used in moderation.

C. T. U. ladies of Kansas. They are working for the return of the anti- cigaret law in their state. It’s rather hard to argue with the lady without knowing her definition of “idiot.” One man’s “idiot” is an- other man’s idea of perfection. It’s hard to see that women have changed very much since the cigaret makers dared begin publicity advertising to them and thereby indicating the vast number of them as customers. 3 o———$__—_____—__- | BARBS ° A woman in Buenos Aires, accord- ing to dispatches, lost her skirt in the jam to see Hoover.
