Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON $1,000,000 Legal Fees ‘The million-dollar fee in a lawsuit is something that al- ways jabs the attention of the ordinary citizen. It seems rather high. It makes one wonder just how great a man's legal attainments must be to make such a fee proper. It Probably leads a number of young men to night law schools. A few days ago it was announced that fees “of at least! $1,000,000” for their services in 14 years of litigation about; oil patents were being asked by ex-Senator James A. Reed and Charles W. German of Kansas City, lawyers. Sometime before that there was another equally large legal fee up for discussion in the newspapers. Farther back in the past there have been other such fees. They are not unheard of, although of course the average law- yers dream hungrily of them but never get them. The man in the street, probably, is moved by such news items to remark, peevishly, “No lawyer on earth is worth; that much money.” But the interesting point is that that complaint is unjustified. Some lawyers are worth every! cent of @ million dollars for their work in certain in-/ volved cases; and that is one of the most illuminating | bits of evidence concerning our legal system that you! could ever ask for. Legal procedure has grown. extraordinarily complicated during the last few generations. It isn’t anybody's fault, and the remedy—if there is one—isn’t on the horizon just gt this moment. That cumbersome edifice called The Law gets new accretions from each generation. It is filled with mazes and hidden passageways. It has more subtleties than an oriental system of philosophy. As a result, the ordinary man, when he bumps his head into it, is lost. What seems a fairly clear problem! in everyday life grows devious and baffling when it gets into court; and what is actually complicated to begin! with takes on the proportions of an insoluble puzzle, de- vised by impish gods to plague helpless mortals, when it becomes a legal question. This is not the fault of the present-day lawyers. They did not invent the system. It existed before they tried their first cases, and sometimes it seems beyond human influence. Most lawyers, probably, would give a good; deal to see the system simplified. Nevertheless, the system is a drag on our economic and! social life. The mere fact that our method of setting | disputes between man and man has grown so com- Plicated that a lawyer can honestly earn $1,000,000 for his part in such a settlement is ample proof that we need a rather thorough revision of the whole procedure. South Dakota Forges Ahead ‘The race for population in the two Dakotas has see- sawed back and forth during the past four decades a, good deal like an intercollegiate football score. For the 1930 census South Dakota holds the honors with a lead of 12,004. In 1890, just after the territory was divided into two states, South Dakota had 348,600 people to North Dakota's 190,983, and therefore started out with a lead of 157,617. ‘The census of 1910 gave South Dakota 583,888 and North Dakota 577,056, which showed that North Dakota was; catching up. South Dakota's lead had been cut down) to a mere 6,832. The census of 1920 put North Dakota in the lead with 10,335 more people than her sister state, but this gain) was gradually lost during the past decade, with the result mentioned in the first paragraph. The growth of cities appears to have had something to do with these population changes. Cities in the two} states with populations of 10,000 or over as given by the last census, are reproduced here in order of size: | Sioux Falls, S. D., 33,362; Fargo, N. D., 28,619; Grand Forks, N. D., 17,112; Aberdeen, S. D., 16,564; Minot, N. D., 16,099; Bismarck, N. D., 11,090; Huron, 8. D., 10,946; Mitchell, S. D., 10,942; Rapid City, 8. D., 10,404; Water- town, 8. D., 10,214. It will be seen that South Dakota has six and North Dakota four cities with populations exceeding 10,000. ‘This may not be @ fair comparison, but South Dakota's lead of 19,413 under this head is as good an alibi as any other for the failure of our state to hold the lead gained in 1920, On the basis of the same system of figuring, North Dakota stands first in the Union in percentage of peo- ple living in the country and in small towns. If there ever has been any doubt of North Dakota's status as an agricultural state, that ought to settle the matter. History Repeats Itself Writing of the colonization of Virginia in 1613, John Marshall said: “Heretofore no separate property had been acquired, and no individual had labored for himself. ‘The Jands had been held, cleared and cultivated in com- mon, and their produce carried into a common gran: ary. . Indubtry, deprived ‘of its due reward, felt no sufficient stimulus to exertion, and the public supplies were generaily inadequate to the public necessities. To) remove this ‘cause of perpetual scarcity, Sir Thomas Dale divided a considerable portion of land into lots of three acres, and granted one of them in full property to each individual. .. Industry, impelled by the certainty of Tecomperise, advaneed’ with rapid strides, and the in- habitants were no longer in fear of wanting bread, either, for themselves, or for the emigrants from England.” Now a press dispatch from Russia, where the common ownership system has been in effect, says: “A new pro- ‘posal to emphasize the dictum of ‘only those who work “may eat’ was presented today to the all-union congress ‘4.

He had been a volunteer soldier, a Zouave in the Civil war, a dashing figure. In the time of Francis Bernardone he might have been a troubadour. like St. Francis, he too had the human horror of lep- rosy, and that this very aversion led him to go to the extreme when he had turned from his old ways. he asked no pity in the very enchantment of doing what was considered the most repulsive sort of labor. not, like Father Damien, “shut the door of the sepulchre,” but though the door was open he stayed till cataracts began to cloud his eyes.

THE RACE HORSE AND THE WORK HORSE I probably receive as many letters from thin folks who wish to be fat as from fat folks who wish to become thin. It is often possible to accom- Plish these desired results to a cer- tain extent, but the tendency to eith- er a thin or solid build is usually a characteristic which is inherent in the body’s structure and can only be modified within limited degrees with- out injuring the health. This be- comes very apparent in examining thin folks and fat folks under the X-ray. In the heavy type we find a stocky individual; his chest is wide, but the lungs are small, being largely in the upper portion. His stomach is high up in the abdomen above the umbili- cus.and it hangs with the outlet of the stomach at the lower portion. Be- cause of the small lungs the heavy Person does not burn much oxygen and consequently the, food he eats tends to accumulate as fat. He is especially likely to have diseases of the blood vessels and arterial harden- ing or kidney trouble. He very rarely has any stomach disorder and conse- quently usually eats too much. He seldom is troubled with constipation, although he is in danger of develop- ing diabetes. ‘The thin person, on the other hand, has lorig lungs and a narrow chest, His stomach sags down in the abdo- men with the outlet high up so that it is difficult for food to empty out of the stomach, Because of the long lungs he usually does not breathe deep enough to entirely aerate the Jungs so that he has a tendency to- ward tuberculosis. The stomach hanging down so low retains food for a longer time than with the stocky Person, and for this reason the thin one is usually very careful about his food, Furthermore the thin one is troubled with constipation and flatu- lence, but he very rarely is troubled with diseases of the arteries. ‘We may compare the thin person to the race horse, and the fat, solidly built person to the work horse. It would be impossible to make a work horse out of a race horse type through any kind of feeding. By re- stricting the diet and reducing a work horse until he is thin would not make him into a race horse. Two types are distinctive. Each type can be fed so that it will be healthy and well built for its type, but it is impossible to change one type into the other. Much the same condition is present in hu- man beings. We find many different types, with these two as the most numerous. The stocky individual gets along very well on a vegetarian diet, but the thin, wiry, nervous type always jc COY he dost Mae to Meals STAMPED ADORESSED ENVELOPE FOR REPLY M@COY HEALTH SERVICE -LOS ANGELES- CAL: ET WILL BE ANSWERED 5 in CARE OF TH PAPER get along better when meat, eggs, and the concentrated proteins are used.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS High Blood Pressure Question: M. M. M. writes: “I am 53 years old and weigh 125 pounds and have high blood pressure. Please tell me what kind of a diet I can go cn to help this trouble without los- ing any weight.” Answer: I do not know of a diet you can take to reduce blood pres- sure which will not also temporarily reduce your weight. It is necessary to eliminate all carbohydrate foods for some time, and this will probably make you lose from 5 to 10 pounds. You will be far better off at 115 vounds without high blood pressure than at 125 pounds with high blood pressure and the danger of apoplexy or paralysis. Dried Beef Question: H. F. asks: “Is dried beef a wholesome food to use when fresh meat is not available?” Answer: Yes, dried beef is a good food if prepared properly. It should be boiled in two or more waters, and seasoned only with a little butter as eaten, Never combine it with white sauce, which isthe customary way of spoiling it as a wholesome food. St. Vitus’ Dance Question: M. K. writes: “I am 21 years old and have had St. Vitus’ Dance for ten years. Is there any- thing I can do at this stage?” Answer: You should take a fruit fast for at least ten days, followed by @ carefully planned diet in order to ure yourself of any tendency to ervousness, Also, take systematic exercises, using only those exercises which require slow movements, and where it is necessary to use increased strength each day. ship.
