Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Dr. Wiley, a Shining Champion ' Dr. Harvey W. Wiley is dead. Over at the Northern Great Plains experiment station this death strikes a per- Fonal note. Dr. Wiley and “Jim” Stephens, the station aead, were friends who understood each other in the old Josmos club days in Washington. All over the nation the death of Dr. Wiley also has its Sersonal repercussion. Dr. Wiley was the chamipion of the people who are willing to eat canned food but pre- er to eat it without the danger of being poisoned to jeath by it. The fact that this can be done nowadays s largely due to the war Wiley conducted on the canned yoisoners. Otherwise people might be dying these days ike the Zimmer family out at Sentinel Butte, last week, .. ifter eating poisoned canned beans.

In an era of | ig business corruption, with William Howard Taft en- |, “hroned in the white house in a feeble righteousness that yermitted all sorts of exploitation scarcely less scandalous : dhan in the regime of that other Ohioan, Harding, Dr. | Wiley was the greatest champion the American people ; rad since Theodore Roosevelt—formerly of North Dako- ). @, remember. The Wiley era was that when conscienceless purveyors of foods thought they could get away with the canning of ; ‘any refuse as something fit to eat, ‘The nation was flood- * 3d with poisonous stuff in cans under fancy labels, but ' earcely less than pure sure death. Swill from tomato anning, for typical example, was put up as catsup, with "sertain chemicals used as preservatives to make it pal- SE atable and salable. In the packing house district the pur- veying of filth as preserved meats had led Upton Sinclair = 0 write his philippic “Jungle.” Roosevelt had drawn his *‘Big Stick” from a quiver which knew nothing so slen- ‘ier a8 an arrow and had been wielding it to good purpose + “against criminal big business. Dr. Wiley had been in the chemical department of the Piepartment of agriculture since 1883 when the great war ‘‘ygainst criminal big business broke in the Roosevelt ad- ninistration. It was not long before he was drawn from obscurity to wield a shining lance against the malefactors {af great wealth. While Roosevelt tilted steel and rail- ‘ coads and Wall street, Dr. Wiley fought the food poison- } 2rs, the brigade of benzoate of soda, the rotten whiskey | ouccaneers who were the predecessors of the Volsteadian moonshiners and all that ilk exploiting the very lives of ‘/ the people in a policy of selling rotten food spiced up to {ass the teeth of the public as genuine goods when but ‘waste by-products scarcely less than garbage. { Dr. Wiley organized his famous poison squad and test- 42d out preserved foods, with the result that a great war * developed over the use of benzoate of soda, a deleterious oreservative. Dr. Wiley asked only that the use of this * qreservative be indicated on the label of the preserved ‘oods, and the poisoners, fighting for an ambuscade from (which to sacrifice the health and lives of the community | 0 mere commercial gain, resisted exposing their hand in shat way. Reservoirs of editorial ink were spilled in the frontroversy in those days. \ Finally Dr. Wiley was forced to resign. “They got ‘aim.” William Howard Taft was in the white house and ae made a feeble gesture of protecting Dr. Wiley, but Taft was the biggest friend the buccaneers of poisoned had in America. He made'a pretense of protecting ‘Dr. Wiley. but when Wiley had defeated his enemies and decided the people were too obfuscated to understand what he was doing in their behalf and that he might as well resign in a cause lost as long as the white house was open to suspicion, this so-called friend and protector, {Taft, let him go. It was one of those instances where revealed his incapacity as president. But Dr. Wiley had started something. The country ‘roused. The cause of pure food, like John Brown's -moldering in the grave, was marching on. Pack- came to see the light of reason and to learn the les- that pure food paid. Dr. Wiley's gospel leavens the world of food today. By a special dispensation of {[undustries have taken up and made their own cause. ¢ ‘When such roles as Dr. Wiley and chemical and bacte- Gitlological knowledge played in application to food and ® sanitation ‘and preventive medicine are understood, Dr. © Wiley will rank high with the heroes of sclence—higher because he was, in addition, a hero of politics.

Transoceanic airplane flights may, as they say, be mere stunts, too risky to be worth while; but they are, after all, high adventure. The Southern Cross and her crew have given us @ moment of release from the monot- ony of every-day life. We owe them a debt of gratitude. Foolish Vacations Probably there is no way of finding out just how many Americans are going to spend their vacations taking motor trips this summer. Certainly the number will run into the millions. A glance at any main trunk highway on a summer day would prepare one to accept any esti- mate, no matter how high. This being the case, it is a melancholy reflection that a great many of these tourists—perhaps a majority—will not ‘really have vacations at all. They will return to their homes more tired than when they started out. In- stead of fitting themselves for another year of work they will have made a new drain on their nervous and phy- sical energy. The automobile has given us a marvelous new field in the realm of vacations. The pity is that we do not yet seem to have found out the best way to take advantage of it. There seems to be something about an automobile that compels a man to be energetic and restless. The average family sets forth on a vacation tour dedicated to the Proposition that they must cover at least 300 miles a day, if for no other reason than to prove that they and their car can do it; and there is no surer way to waste a vaca- tion than this. ss The wise ones, on the other hand, refuse to look at mileage marks. Often they will not even carry maps. Their aim is not to cover as much ground as possible but to loaf along as restfully as possible. They are the ones whose vacations really do them some good. For the automobile, while it will oblige the energetic with great bursts of speed, is also a fine thing for the loafer. Once you catch on to the trick of it you can make vacation touring the most restful recreation imaginable. | ° If you are content to idle along, caring not in the least whether you make Jonesboro that night or whether you have to stop at Smithville, halfway to Jonesboro, willing to dawdle down the pike letting any other driver speed Past you if he wants to—then the joys of motoring are really yours. For then you can be, not a restless wanderer, but a contented wanderer. There is a difference. The réstless one consumes his own energy. The contented one stores it up. The restless one passes up charming towns and beautiful lakes and valleys in order to get to wherever it is that he is bound; the contented one stops when he =| comes to a place he likes, turns down any road that ap- Peals to him, never frets himself about the distance he has gone or the distance that still lies before him. If you have never tried that kind of motoring, this summer would be a fine time to give it a whirl. Leave your map at home, and set out without any destination at all. Make only one resolution—that you will not, un- der any circumstances, hurry. Drive just for the fun of it and not to get somewhere. You will find motoring to be a lot more enjoyable than you ever dreamed it could be. | Editorial Comment | Empty Glasses . J. Dunlap in 8t Paul Dispatch) A change has taken place in the domestic arrange- ments of the white house Wine glasses that graced the President’s table during other, some would say better, days have been placed in storage. Standing lonely and unused on the government pantry shelves, they have been: included till now in the annual inventory. Henceforth, along with the cognac, cordial and other glasses, these graceful goblets will gather dust in the dismal murk of | - an official storehouse. No spectacle pulls more powerfully at the heart strings than the sight of a permanently empty wine glass. It confronts the eye in mute reproach. It is a study in desolation. Once a symbol of good cheer, of companion- ableness, of lingual activity, what is better calculated to arouse reflection on the weary weight of the unintel- ligible world than the brimming cup that brims no more? All things flow, said the ancient philosopher, and he was only describing their natural state. President Hoover therefore is not to be blamed for CHERRIES ARE RIPE Cherries belong to the stone fruits, or the drupes, being of the same fam- il¥ as plums, peaches and apricots. ‘There are over two hundred and fifty cherry is grown in more climates than any other single fruit, since it is found from Vancouver to Newfound- land, and from Florida to Texas.

Con- trary to your doctor’s opinion, I have seen many cases where the clot was dissolved or dislodged, but I have never seen a case die. There is, of course, the possibility that the clot may enter the brain or some other vital organ, but out of the several hundred cases I have seen treated, I have never yet seen a case where this has ocurred, so evidently it is not a frequent occurrence. I would advise another orange juice fast and also use the hot and cold applica- tions on the affected regions. I would not advise much exercise until you show an improvement. For Nerves Question: Mrs. V. M. B. asks: “Is it true that there are certain foods reputedly beneficial in the treatment of nervotls diseases? What are they?” Answer: There is no special food which has any specific effect upon the nerves outside of all those foods which contain organic minerals, such as the non-starchy vegetables. Nerv- ous people are in such a condition be- , {cause of a toxic irritation of their nerves, from destructive thinking. —_______.-» @ | hard as oak oN ed aie og Bell Besides syndicate, | TodayIsthe | 4] at this ee *. ‘® | employed in making of Anniversary of | fed freer | KFYR j that he, | Cordial, and cherry . ° 4 BIRTH OF LEIBNITZ on heirs. | Upper Rhine the pulp is fermented ninubivias cUtxs On July 1, 1646, Gottfried Leibnitz, and distilled into Kirshwasser, while 550 Kilocycles—545.1 Meters one of the most extraordinary ex-/| men had made original contributions. ition | Zara, in Dalmatia, is famed for its| a... amples of universal scholarship in ——__—_ to} maraschino liquor of cherries and sit-—Davie povelite. intellectual history, was born at Letp- | ¢——————________» no |honey. 6:30—Farm flas! zig, Germany.

Dr. Canadian Tariff Raises (Buffalo Evening News) Canada promptly raises duties on commodities im- ported from the United States to correspond with the new rates imposed by this country on imports from Canada, The list of articles thus affected is somewhat significant. They are cattle, sheep, horses, meats, ‘rein- deer, eggs, butter, oats, oatmeal, rye, wheat, flour, cut flowers, potatoes, soups, cast-iron pipe. It will be noted that all of these, except one, are agri- cultural ‘products or direct manufactures from agricul- tural products. The studying the American act from its text, and not from political speeches, appear to have no doubt that it is an agricultural tariff, ‘Those Americans who wish o denounce the tariff and to avoid offending the farmer vote at the same time keep- their arguments well clear of both the American and Canadian law. Canada cannot be blamed for taking this measure of reprisal. It should not be regarded as an of ill will against the United States any more than the American law embodies 111 will toward Canada. In Can- ada’s case the countervailing duties are a natural busi- ness policy, divorced from any foolish theorizing. The United States has undertaken to bar certain Canadian importations in order to reserve the market for home Producers. Canada, cut off from an export market, raises duties in order that an enlarged home market may make up the loss. Whether this really is better for either country than a freer interchange is open to demo: mstration and may}. call for the early attention of the tariff commission. Inasmuch as the cost of agricultural production in Can. ada is much the same as in the United States, t' terms of the flexibility clause may apply to Canadian trade more favorably than to that of most countries. The sub- ject, however, can be studied on the basis of experience much more helpfully than under the impulses of sena- torial politics, CHAPTER XLVIII 6¢6@% 00D Lord, man, do you real- ize what you are saying?” Alan appealed to Geoffrey. He was certain now that the young man had been drinking. And Geoffrey always had been crazy about Natalie, He had seen her, Mstened to her wild tales and twisted them into a dramatic charge against Phillipa. It was preposter- ous, of course, but not to be quar- reled over, His question, and his suddenly easier attitude, perplexed Phillips. A moment ago he had been on the point of succumbing to a towering rage; now, she said to herself, he was as meek as & lamb. She had been suspicious and un- certain since he came into the room. Indefinite, vague, at first, her sus picions were now taking concrete form. Geoffrey had geen Natalie —she was here in New York. That meant that Alan might have seen her too. And he had certain- ly been acting very strangely. Alan was startled when she cried, before Geoffrey had framed @ suitable answer to his question: jan, have you seen Natalie?” “Why, yes,” he said. “I thought #0,” she flashed at him. “This is all a cooked up scheme to get me out of the pic ture!” Both men stared at her in amaze- ment, and both we! lent. “A fine pair of he men,” sneered at them. “You,” she dl- rected her attack toward Geoffrey, “you fixed it up in Alan's office, and then telephoned me. You found out they would like to make up, so you arranged this little ‘sur- prise’ to accuse me so that | wouldn't be able to sue Alan for breach of promise!” She whirled now upon Alan. “So that’s why you told me you were going to adopt that Lamont brat! You thought I'd object and we'd quarrel about it. But that didn’t work, so you try this. Oh, I see why you wouldn’t leave—why you insisted upon ing here to make Mr. Norman ‘apologize.’” She laughed crazily. “What a bluff!” “Phillipa.” “Don't ‘Phillipa’ me, Alan Con- verse. You're a worm, and you know ft, Why didn’t you break off with me long ago? You wanted to, you know you did, but you ,didn’t have the courage.” “Yes, I did want to,” Alan flung back at her, stung into forgetting Geoffrey’s presence, “but it wasn’t cowardice that stopped me. It was chivalry, if you wnt to know. Funny, isn’t it, in this day and age? But you didn’t take any par- ticular pains to conceal the fact that you might bave married Geof: frey and his millions. You let me know, too, that you were out with your family on my account. Well, I might be a fool, but I’m not ex- actly a cad.” rE He ended lamely, remembering that Geoffrey was a listener to what he had to say. He looked at his friend, somewhat abashed. “I don’t think Phillipa tampered with the letter,” he said. “You shouldn't believe it, Geo?, if you love her. And she doesn’t care a hang for me. I’m sure, She just felt sorry for me ‘bi “You needn't try to throw me in his arms,” Phillipa burst in, her face red with mortification. Geoffrey ignored her. “Sorry, but I have no intention of proposing to the young lady,” he said icily, “and I’m sure not aware of ever having entertained any such idea.” “Ob, rub it in,” Phillipa blazed, losing her respect for refinement, but saving enough of her self-con- trol to make an effort to put a half-decent face on her conduct, “Yes, I let Alan believe I re- fused you,” she went on “but don’t think I encouraged you, Geoffrey Norman, because I wanted to marry you. Why, you're a bigger sap than Alan. I wouldn’t have you. In love with a married woman, and too much of a her. Oh, I know. you're mad about Natalie Converse, and she’s twisting you around her little finger, making you’ be lieve . . .” “That's enough,” Geoffrey out in. “I know what to believe about Mrs, Converse.” Phillipa turned to Alan, her sud- den laughter mounting hysterical- ly. “You're @ pair of fools,” she informed him. “But you're a big- ger fool than Geoffrey. He at least knows that two and two make four. You thought you were falling for & simple-minded little girl who hadn't a thought in her head but to sympathize with you. He bed more sense than that!” Alan looked at Geoffrey inquiring. ly. “Ys,” the latter said, “I had, old man. But now that Miss West has admitted so much, I'll aumit that I had the advantage of you, I knew her for a scheming little rascal of some kind.” He paused and appeared to want to some- thing more, but was, evi ly, not Boing to say it. “Go ahead,” Phillipa urged bim wildly, “Tell him you could guess that I wanted to marry a man with money because I tried to get you tirst.” ° “Phillipa,” ashamed for her. Phillipa had completely lost con- trol of herself now. She didn’t Alan protested, out the kind of man I wanted?” she challenged. “You pick the women you want—and get your money the easiest way you can. So what have you to say about it?” Alan did not answer. Geoffrey did. “Not so much about that,” he said; “but a great deal could be said about your methods, Miss Weat.” “Yes?” Phillipa answered taunt- ingly. “But I couldn’t have got }far, could 1, if Alan had believed in Natalie the way you do?” She turned her jeering face to Alan. He looked quickly away from her. Again she flashed back to Geoffrey. “But, of course, you didn’t have to live with her,” she jibed, “so you wouldn’t know that she isn’t a plaster saint, even if she does look like one. Well, either of you can have her for all I care. But I don’t think you'll get her!” Her laughter, rising mockingly in a shrill crescendo, was directed at Alan. “You poor putty imita- tion of @ man. Why, I've been stringing you along like a puppet any way I liked. Suppose you have found it out? It wasn’t your own cleverness. Some one had to come along and tell you what @ fool you were. . ‘ “Yes, a fool, because you won't set. your precious Natalie back again. Natalie! Natalie! Natalie! You think you've done something wonderful, don’t you?” she charged Geoffrey. “Bringing me ere to prove that your dear sweet Natalie never soiled her hands with that letter? Of course she didn’t! She wouldn't have the courage! She'd let another woman take her hus- band, and all she can do is run whimpering to her boy friend. That's what her temper amounted to! And she’s had Alan scared out of his wits for years.” ‘This time, whirling back to Alan, she shrank away from him. His eyes were like live coals in his white face. Phillips was fright- ened but she was too lost in ber own passion,to weigh her reckless- ness. “Phillipa, is this true?” Alan shouted at ber, “Of course. it is. But you don't need to be melodramatic about it. ‘It won't do you any good.” “It might be good for you to get out,” Alan replied furiously. “Steady,” Geoffrey cautioned him as he adyanced threatentngly upon Phillipa. “I'm not. afraid of him,” she cried defiantly. “He's nothing but &@ poor sap. I'd like to see the pair of them together again—they just suit each other.” "i “I bope you have your wish,” Geoffrey said earnestly, looking at care what they thought of her.| A! lan. “Well, and why shouldn't I pick] “And a lovely time they'll have,” Phillipa scoffed. “You're forgetting our dear lady's pride, Oh, I don't care if she does want Alan back— she’s just doing it, because you, Geoffrey Norman, told her that it was I, and not Bernadine Lamont, that she should be jealous of. But wait until she’s got you back again” —she was now lashing out at Alan —“ahe'll make your life a pretty hell for you. She's not going to forget that you were so blindly in- fatuated with another woman that you'd allow that woman to fasten @ crime upon her!” Her words stopped the torrent of wrath that Alan was prepared to start pouring out upon her head. They were too true a word picture of Natalie’s character, to pass un- heeded. Into his mind flashed realization of Phillipa’s mistake—Natalie had not sought a reconciliation since learning of his engagement to Phil- lipa. She hadn't, he reminded bim- self fearfully, let him know her reaction. to it. What if Phillipa were right, and he had lost Natalie at the moment of finding her? - The thought staggered him. Would Natalie forgive him for call- ing her @ thief? He remembered all the bitter, unwarranted things he had said to her when be ac- cused her of the crime Phillipa had committed. Phillipa saw bis mental turmoil in his face, Ttiumph rang in her laughter now, though she was grow- ing calmer, as what might be the result of her rage occurred to her. But still she sneered. “Well, you know as well as 1 do that she'll never forgive you, don’t you?” Cool, quiet, yet vibrant as the tones of some fine instrument came an answer, “No, he does not know that, Miss West.” Geoffrey suified, and stepped for- ward, and Alen went to meet her as though he were moved by spirit bands. . Geoffrey turned to Phillipa, who stood silenced under his forbidding frown, A moment, and Natalie spoke. “But my forgiveness is nothing without -Alas's,” fhe said,. toud enough for ail to hear.

As she saw ‘Natalie's arms go around Alan's neck and his gather her close to him to receive the rain of kisses he was plainly going to shower upon. her, she flung herself about and said to Geoffrey: “Well, there's the woman you love!” "Yes, thank God,” Geoffrey breathed. “There she is.
