CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON A Concern of Society ‘There is a little boy in Ohio who hasn't any place to go. He can't go home, for he has killed a man. He can't go to the penitentiary yet; he is too young. And the boys’ industrial school, which is supposed to care for him until he reaches the grown-up age of 21, can't take him, either, for the rules of the school prohibit acceptance of a person who is in for a long sentence, according to its superintendent. So John Woods is as homeless as the man without a country. Other boys are looking forward to the events of the new year. But to John Woods all years will be old years as he sits and wonders what he will do with them. He didn’t think of that before. But now that the silver- white hills of winter and the sun-bright fields of spring make up a Promised Land in which he may no longer) wander, life is different. But he is no more concerned about himself than is ®@ society which is confronted with a problem that it] doesn't know how to solve. Vast fortunes have been spent in an effort to provide the proper institutions, schools and courses of training for those who have erred. John Woods is a different type of problem. He will never be permitted to go back into the world. He killed a man during a holdup. And he is only 14. One wonders what the reaction of the other boys in an industrial school would be to John Woods. Would they stand off, a little shyly, and whisper to each other that he is the boy who killed a man ... who staged a holdup ... did the things that grown men do? And would there be @ little fear in their voices, a little aloof- ness in their manner? Or would there be a touch of ad- tmiration because his crime was a dramatic one? ‘We don’t know about such things, for each of these institutions is a world apart. But the problem which cen- ters around John Woods opens the door into the great brick buildings where all the other wanderers from the tight path are centered. Their attitude toward others who commit misdemeanors... . who shoot men . . . con; fronts society. ‘We arc our brothers’ keepers. We can't escape that truth. And thase who are older and wiser must direct: these lads, teach them to distinguish the gold from the dross; show them that those things which are not real will soon become as tarnished as last year’s Christmas tinsel. There will always be some, of course, who cannot be taught. There are many who can. And meantime it is never too late to “come back.” Even when all one’s life must be shut away from the trails where high winds blow. This decision as to where John Woods shall go should concern socicty as much as it does the 14-year-old boy himself. A Child and the Truth One of the most illuminating stories of recent weeks, / it seems to us, is the one telling how a rich Paristan| has sued the tutor of his son for telling the boy there is no Santa Claus. ‘This story told how Marcel Dauprey hired a profes- aor to coach his seven-year-old son in order that the boy might not acquire worldly knowledge at too early an age. The professor did his best, but he did break the news about Santa; and now M. Dauprey has sued him, charg- ing that this bit of information caused the son “moral harm.” This misadventure is somehow characteristic. What parent, undertaking to bring up a child in the way he should go, has not bumped into just such a disappoint- ment? All of us resolve that our own children shall be disillusioned about the world just a little more gently than we ourselves were disillusioned. We take especial pains to let their trailing clouds of glory hang about their shoulders as long as may be; and then, one day, we wake up to discover that they know a great deal more than we had either supposed or desired. All of this is perfectly natural; and unless one raises his son on @ desert island, it is inevitable. For while children are given, by their parents, rose-colored spec- tacles to look at the world, they have a way of taking them off whenever they can and finding things out for themselves. We older ones, knowing how cruel the world can be, are sentimentalists; the children, knowing nothing whatever about it and expecting the best, are Uttle realists. Indeed, they do not always expect the best. Who has not surprised his son or daughter suspecting that all is Not quite for the best in an imperfect world? We want to shield them, and we try to, staving off unpleasant knowledge as long as we can; but they get around us, collecting unpleasant data about the cosmos as eagerly 4s 80 many writers for the American Mercury. And it is probable that this is a good thing. For the Jonger we postpone disillusionment, the more painful and crippling it is apt to be when it arrives. The youngster who is used to it from an early age stands a much better chance than the one who has been too carefully Protected. Perhaps that is why such an enormous proportion of great men began their lives amid poverty. The chil- dren of the poor soon learn to see the world just as it is. ‘Their ilusions, of necessity, die early. Is that one rea- awa wny the log cabin has sent so many more men to the ‘white house than has the mansion of the rich man? Who Started the War? An official committee of the German Reichstag, hav- ‘ng studied the causes of the World war, finds that nos. of the blame for starting the trouble goes to Russia, Serbia and Austria-Hungary sharing in the guilt. @ German committee, it naturally views Ger- A ‘im the negotiations thet led to the war favorably then, say, a French committee ized that the war was chiefly a product of the European system of handling international relations. It grew out ©f that system inevitably. If the murder of the Arch- duke Franz Ferdinand had not started it, some other minor incident would have. It is futile to try to indict any one nation for it. In a real sense, all of the nations were equally guilty. Forty Per Cent Wasted! William Bennett Munro of Harvard states that 40 per cent of every tax dollar spent in the United States is wasted, through unnecessary governmental activities, the shifting of responsibilities, duplication of activities and superfluous number of employes. He asserts that, in times of stress, “taxpayers are misled by empty promises, and respond to appeals to their feelings rather than their intelligence.” Probably every American community has had some experience with wasteful government. Retention of out- moded methods and dislike of modern innovations, po- litical inertia—these and similar factors have cost Amer- ican taxpayers untold millions of dollars. Mr. Munro's figures apply to the national, state and city governments as a whole and it is improbable that they apply very strongly to North Dakota and cities the size of Bismarck. In no North Dakota city do we have a “big boy” who is more or less unknown to the average voter weaving @ political web at “city hall.” In most cases our city fathers are known in person and by name to nearly every citizen. The state government is somewhat farther removed from the average voter but not nearly so far as is the case in the larger and more populous states. The national government, of course, is as far removed from us as from anyone. Granted local interest and confidence in existing gov- ernments, however, it does no harm for those in power to check up on themselves and their administration just} as a businessman does. The result may be enlighten- ing even to those who know most about the matters with which they are charged. Efficiency in government may be induced by public demand and public interest. When it is achieved, how- ever, it always comes as the result of the personal in- terest and action of those in charge of the government.| Exhausting Oil Resources The United States is exhausting its petroleum re- sources many times faster than the world’s other oil producing countries. H Since production records have been kept, beginning in 1857, the world has yielded about 8,600,000,000 barrels of | oil, of which over 2,200,000,000 have come from tne Uni- ted States. Last year a little less than 1,500,000,000 bar- rels were produced, of which the United States accounted! for 1,006,000,000, or 67.6 per cent. South America and Russia, at present, possess a wealth of undeveloped oil territory which they will call on in the future. Oil, in the modern world, is vitally neces- sary to the industrial progress of any nation. Re-! sources, once exhausted, cannot be renewed. Yet we, in this country, are actually wasting our invaluable oil| supplies by overproduction, Instead of intelligently conserving this resource, producing only as much as the demand can absorb, we; not only allow but enforce policies in this nation which Prevent intelligent conservation through cooperative regulation of production. Responsible oil producers are cooperating in a pro-! gram to outlaw overproduction but how far they will get,| with laws which prohibit collective action staring them in the face, is hard to say.

Quarter-Century (Mott Pioneer Press) With the next issue the Mott Pioneer Press starts No. 1 of Vol. XXV. During the twenty-four years of its existence there has been faithfully recorded in its columns many changes. Many men and many women have come and gone during these years, some to other climes and some to the Great Beyond. Mott has grown from a small cluster of buildings with about twenty- five people, forty miles from a railroad and in a very sparsely settled district, to a city of more than a thou- sand souls with two railroads, good streets, electric lights, waterworks and sewer system, churches, magnifi- cent schools and everything which makes a modern city, and with a well-settled and well-developed and successful farming community surrounding it. The Pioneer Press has grown during this period from @ small circulation turned out on a hand-power army press from hand-set type, to a circulation of more than 1,200 served by a modern printing plant electrically equipped and produced from a modern typesetting machine. For the past three and a half years F. G. Orr has been the guiding hand as editor-manager, Edi- tors of former years included L. H. McCoy, Maurice Wicken, Elmer Enge and Wellington Iryish, with short periods of management by others. These have had op- Portunity through the columns of the Ploneer Press to record the remarkable development of what was an open prairie buffalo range Indian country to the present highly developed and successful farming district, with every modern convenience. |e: That Destroyer of Farm Life | (McLean County Independent) The trend of corporation farming with especial refer- ence to the wheat raising sections of the country, in the estimation of Congressman Harold McGugin of Kansas, has reached alarming proportions. In his state, he declares, it has already gone too far. One corporation, said the congressman, has boldly stated that “Large corporations, whose sole business it will be to perform the operations of plowing, planting, cultivating and harvesting, will supersede the individual farmer.” This corporation, the Kansas congressman insists, is rapidly making good its threat against the continued existence of the Kansas farmer. It is evident that corporate farming, at this time, is in a most advantageous position to carry out its in- roads. This is a time of depression and discourage- ment. One Kansas ft corporation has made the statement that it has the capital, the cash, and that it is buying land while the price is low. It is easy for anyone to understand that where corpora- tion farming gains @ foothold, it can do the work on farms at a minimum of labor. The effect will be that there will be needed only a minimum of farm help. ‘With millions of farmers thrown out of work, the trehd will be toward the cities, where the unemployment prob- lem is now acute, and where the deplorable conditions would be made more acute—for, if the farmer or his work on the farm, he must exist some nsas are being destroyed by farm- insas as effectively as though the vandals. Will the American r this system? The answer is farming is stopped all of the relief been enacted in vain. Corporation need relief as individual farming plain to be seen that there would surplus and the resultant harmful positively will drive millions of population centers and economic chaos. in contented farm homes must is not possible under corporation have labored to build up and progressive rural sections deserve a better fate, and the country which has fostered them also de- serves @ better fate.

If a letter mentioned one of them it is fairly sure to say something of the other two. The “Big Three” are: First, indigestion; second, gas on the stomach and bowels; third, constipa- tion, Time and again I have seen this common train of symptoms dem- onstrated. The reason for this is that when food is not digested prop- erly, it causes discomfort in the stom- ach and leads to fermentation and the production of gas in the stomach and bowels. The digestive tract should be con- sidered as whole, and any trouble which interferes with the normal functioning of the stomach, itself, is liable to affect the bowels, leading to ‘a blocking of the natural functions, or constipation. Any diet system that improves the digestion should also lessen the tendency toward consti- pation and gas. If a person is able to strengthen the muscular tone of the intestines so that constipation is overcome, there is also likely to be a marked improvement in digestion and less of that tendency toward flatu- lence. In treating the body it should be considered as a functioning whole. Many doctors and patients make the mistake of trying to treat one specific symptom without considering the oth- er functions. It should be remember- ed that, along with the “Big Three,” the patient will usually mention some of the following troubles: Coated tongue, tired feeling, headache, liver trouble, heartburn, nervousness, un- derweight, rapid heart, bad breath or skin disorders. It would be folly to try to treat any one of these symp- toms if they are caused by trouble in the digestive tract. In the cure of any disease of the digestive organs it is necessary to substitute good habits of eating and living for bad ones. I have prepared a number of mimeo- graphed articles covering these sub- jects which I will be glad to send to; you if you will write to me in care of this newspaper and enclose a large self-addressed envelope and a two- cent stamp for each article desired.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Abscessed Tooth Question: Mrs. A. writes: “My dentist discovered from an X-ray of my teeth that one of my gold-crown- ed ones is abscessed. This tooth has never given me any trouble, but my dentist wants me to have it out and have some bridgework done. I would appreciate your advice as to whether or not a condition of this kind can be cleared up with a proper diet.” ‘Answer: If the gold crowned tooth upon which the abscess has develop- ed is dead, the best policy would be to have the tooth removed, but if the nerve is still alive, and the abscess is on the side of the tooth, it is some- times possible to have the abscess drained by a puncture and irrigation. After this, a fasting and dieting regi- men could be used to advantage. Get the opinion of several dentists if this seems advisable. Salt Question: M. B. asks: “Is com- mon table salt necessary to the body? I have heard that one would lose weight if it were not used.” Answer: Inorganic sodium chlorid is never necessary for the body, as this salt is found in an organic form in vegetables and other foods. There is no harm in using a small amount to imitate that which has been des- troyed by cooking, but it will have no Perceptibie effect one way or another upon your weight. Cracking Joints Question: W. M. P. asks: “What causes a cracking of the joints, in- cluding the jaw bones when eating. I might mention that I am also troubled with ringing ears,” Answer: A cracking of the joints is usually caused by loose ligaments or a lack of synovial fluid around the joints. Sometimes, what appears to be a cracking of the jaw can be caused by the clogging of the eusta- chian tube leading to the mouth and cars, which is stretched when the, jaw is moved and produces a crack-~ ing. The presence of the ear noises would also tend to indicate that this condition might be the cause. guests at the V. M.
