His argument was that exchange of commodities | should proceed between arcas producing contrasted prod- | ucts instead of products of the same nature. He would have had the United States exchanging machinery, tex- tiles and manufactured goods with South and Central | America in return for coffee, sugar, tropical fruits and the like, rather than selling to Europe articles of the same kind as were bought in return. He urged natural commerce instead of trade compar- ‘able to “carrying coals to Newcastle.” His proposal seemed hopeless at the time. But gradually it is making head- way to the extent of a growing commerce with South America. In fact the trade with Latin-America has attained a total of $2,000,000,000, and these are the | figures of a ycar ago. ‘This is amazing. even to an optimist of 50 years ago, ‘when it seemed too remote to consider the possibility of such a development. America were doing a business of about $300,000,000 be- tween them. James G. Blaine, about the time North Da- kota bzcame a state, <prung his reciprocity proposal, whereby it was urged that trade with South America could be stimulated in no beiter way than for this coun- try and those ef the souther: hemisphere to make mutual tariff ecacessions, whereby they would all be on a fa- vored-nation basis and could underscil European compe- tition in exch other's markets. ‘The Siaine vision made hardly any progress, but trade kept on gvowins, especially under the administration of tke commerce department during the secretaryship, of Herkcri Hoover. ‘Two factors crm credited ‘th the increase of this com- Merce.

Thus the Brit- came to the aid of the German commander June 21, when Admiral Sir E.

It will be int ing to await the echo to these alleged revelations. So far, no denial or contradiction of them has issued from the British admiralty. The Germans have made out a very plausible case for their explanation. It would scem that they, at least, have opened a con- troversy of considerabic magnitude, unless England by silence gives tacit admission to the truth of the revela- tions. The World war was filled with many duplicities, specially in the events leading up to it, and one more or | less as an epilogue on the scale of the Scapa sensation would not be at all surprising if it were proved to be true. The Pig Is Not Piggish From the day when man first began to eat bacon, the word “pig” has stood for the ultimate in greed and bad manners. But now comes the U. 8. department of agriculture with a bulletin asserting that the pig has been foully wronsed. He is not, after ail, piggish by nature; under the face he has unsuspected forces of restraint and daintiness. The department found this out by experimenting with sclf-feeders for pigs. These things, it secms, are con- trivances by which the pig can help himself to his food whenever he feels like it. One might expect that this would find the pig with his snout forever in the trough. But, as a matter of fact, the pig eats less this way, and is far nicer about it, than when he is fed by hand. In other words, the pig's piggishness has been forced on | bim by man. When we call a greedy glutton a pig we are slandering the noble race of porkers. | Editorial Comment | Extravagant Cities (Minot Daily News) New York's annual budget now runs moreythan half a billion doliars, and its net public debt is more than a bil- lion and 2 half. These facts, however, stupendous as they are, do not tell the whole story. The city’s debt has riscn £300,000,000 in the last three years. Its increase in popu- lation and wealth is not enough to justify a $100,000,000- per-year increase of indebtedness. No wonder responsible iad Yorkers are demanding economy in public expendi- ures. The second-largest city in the ccuntry is in worse Plight, though its figures are naturally smaller. It faces | a deficit this year and has had to raise money at ex- orbitant interest rates by selling bonds. Cook county —which is Chicago—is bankrupt, and cannot pay its public employes. Public extravagance is a greater evil in this country to- day than private extravagance. Most of the cities are living beyond their means. It is time for big cities to slow down a little, till income catches up again with ex- penditure, Townley vs. Upshaw (Valley City Times-Reeord) The coming to the state of Ex-Congressman Upshaw, of Georgia, to talk against the Townley wet propaganda, has resulted in raising quite a furore in both wet and dry circles, Upshaw seems to have siirred up things wher- ever he has been and on the other hand Townley seems (sd be ye gad quite a stir wherever he has been—as he al- ays does.

Townley and Lanier come back with en acceptance and are willing to meet the Georgian any time and any p'ac2 to be determined*by ‘Townley's manz3er and Mr. Upshaw, so there 3 a pros- pect in sight of some lively debates unless one or the cther backs cut.

An ambitious affair it was too, me- chanically operated, built something out eddies of soap suds and dirty wa- ter, and in a few minutes cleaned thoroughly an area that would have taken an hour by the old hands and knees method of scrubbing, and it certainly gave the backbone the breaks. Instantly came to my mind the pic- ture I have sometimes seen in of- fice buildings after office hours—that band of tired looking, neglected look- ing women, that invade the corridors | after the office workers have gone, | and mop up the marble floors. Of all the army of the employed, they have probably the least glamor. They look as gray and drab as the ging- ham costumes they wear, and they seem to disappear into the night as they come out with it. Immediately I saw them emancipated from their scrubbing brushes and their pails of soap suds, * * * MEN'S CURIOSITY Then, coming back to reality, I be- came aware that there was not one woman, except myself, and me merely by chance, in that group of specta- tors, although the sidewalk beyond was crowded with them. The whole interest in this demonstration was ev- idenced by men. They were the typical group of men you might sce on any city street | at the lunch hour—probably few of them ever really mopped floors. Cer- tainly in that arbitrary division of what was man’s work, and what was woman's, that must have occurred shortly after the stone age, women | drew the mopping along with the bak- ing and brewing. Of the women passing by there must have been many moppers, or if not, there were many who had gonc | to work outside their homes in order to pass this drudgery on to others. But the women walked by. If they were interested in scrubbing, they were interested in their own partic- ular linoleums and their own tiled floors. The subject, abstractedly, had no interest for them. I could vision them stopping a little further on to view a rather marvelous collection of \off-the-face hats a little further up the street. xe * DIFFERENT METHODS It is my observation that women are much less interested in labor savers and inventions than men are, even though it is their time that is saved. I know a man who could never resist @ new can opener—was completely fascinated by the mechanism of them and bought dozens, who never could tell his wife to use anything but an old broken one she got when she started housekeeping. His new contributions were always regaled to the storehouse as soon as his interest in them was over. And it occurs to me that the great differ- ence in men and women workers !s not the mutual way they do the work, but the way they attack it. Most women want to get set and secure—and to stay that way. The woman office worker wants her job outlined and fenced so she knows ex- actly what it is. She wants to know the limitations and just what is re- quired. 7 * * WOMEN’S VIEWPOINT Most women make a virtue of being conscientious about their work and doing what they are expected to do, | and wonder why some other person who is always having ideas and changing everybody's routine is the one who gets the promotion. Women are not less curious than men—they are, however, more apt to be personal in their curiosity. When they can use this feminine trait more abstractly, they will find out how very valuable it can become. “Personally I am all for combating communism.

SERENITY (By Alice Judson Peale) There is perhaps no ingredient in a small child’s life more important than serenity—the sweetness and peacefulness which are the result of regularity, quiet, security, cheerful- ness. It helps sometimes to imagine one’s home as it must affect a small child living. in it. What comings and go- ings are there? What is the temper of the conyersation across the break- fast table? What are the preoccu- pations of his elders during the hours they spend at home? What currents and undercurrents of fecling find their expression in the day to day life of his home? j A child's life is composed at least as much of these things as of his own particular routine, his own posses- sions, his own play. The more sensi- tive the child, the more influenced by them is he. Some homes abound in easy, uncon- scious serenity. Fortunate tempera- ments and fortunate circumstances have combined to make that back- ground which ideally we should re- quire for every child. Others are not | So blessed, and when serenity is not a natural element of the home life it saa easy to acquire even its counter- felt. . Yet conscious effort will do wonders toward achieving that intangible en- virenment which with the sensitive | tory. child affects so profoundly his char- acter. The self control which makes his elders check their tendency to- ward contentious conversation, and refrain from discussing subjects heav- ily charged with emotion, or from worrying openly about finances and living arrangements—these are not wasted. The child in such a household feels just so much less the burdens of his elders and is just so much more se- rene in his own spirit.

PROPER QUANTITIES OF DIFFER- ENT FOODS This is the third of a series of ar- ticles giving condensed food classifi- cations and rules for their use. Protein Foods These foods are perhaps the most important of any used by the body. The nitrogenous material contained in protein foods, together with their salts and vitamins, supply most of the tissue-building material in the body. ‘The over-use of these foods has led to the exaggerated statements in favor of vegetarianism. However, there is no reason why the abuses in their use should induce anyone to prohibit them entirely. Temperance in the use of proteins as with all other foods is an important thing to be taken into consideration! Most adults should have a daily in- take of enough to supply nitrogenous material equal to that contained in one or two eggs and about one-fourth of a pound of meat, fish or fowl. Those doing hard muscular labor may use as much as a half pound of meat, daily besides one or two eggs. As sed- entary workers do not use up much muscular tissue, it is wise for them to keep their limit of protein to about the minimum of one egg and one- fourth of a pound of meat daily. Starches Pure starches are really unneces- sary to the body's growth but, of course, many of the starchy foods contain other elements which the body can use. Most of my patients are denied all starchy food while un- der an intensive diet treatment. But our appetites have been developed so much for these foods that it seems wise to outline the best rules to be observed whenever starches are eaten A good rule for everyone to follow in this regard is to use a very limited amount of starches and to confine their use to one meal in a day, such as, possibly at luncheon, when a small amount of one kind of starch may be used, together with one or more cooked and raw non-starchy vege- tables. No acid fruit or proteins should be used at this meal. Non-Starchy Vegetables All of the foods listed as non- starchy may be used in large quan- tities. It is even often advisable to actually “stuff” on these foods in or- der to supply a large amount of bulk for the intestines to assist in over- coming constipation, which is such a universal ‘cause of disease. I often advise patients to use one of the cooked, non-starchy vegetables with their breakfast, with such foods as eggs and stewed fruit. This takes the Place of toast or bread, and supplies the needed amount of bulk. Fats and Oils ‘These are good foods to be ussed in limited quantities with any of the other meals of the day. ccERSTIET oR FAMOUS HISTORIAN BORN Today is the 129th anniversary of the birth of George Bancroft, famous American historian.
