Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK {complaints would seem unjustified. After all, if a mah A Narrow Squeak Federal Judge T. C. Munger finds a defect in the in- dictments of George W. Norris, famous Broken Bow, Neb., grocer and Victor Seymour, political leader of that state, for perjury in connection with testimony before the Nye senatorial committee, i There will be both rejoicing and groans at this action, depending upon the point of view. Some, doubtless, will condemn the judge for his ruling and hint that he ts! aligned with the forces of political chicanery, but such is to be tried for a crime the details of the transgression should be specified with sufficient clarity to enable him to prepare a defense if he has one. But Mr. Norris and Mr. Seymour may thank their stars that the indictment of the grand jury was defec- tive, for there seems little doubt that they lied in their testimony before the committee which investigated Ne- braska’s senatorial hodge-podge. It seems certain that, at least in Seymour's case, those lies were deliberate and malicious, He tried political trickery of the worst sort, then denied his responsibility. There is the possibility, of course, that the pair will be re-indicted. Grand juries have been known to repair faulty documents and make them bombproof and it is to} be hoped such action will be taken in this case, for the average citizen would like to see Seymour, at least, be- hind the bars. It would be only simple justice—but the chances are he will not get there. If he doesn’t it will not be the first time justice has been thwarted in this country. The History of Growth | Sixty years ago the north part of Dakota territcry, now They'll Settle Down One of the first tests of strength which the govern-| ment of the new Spanish Republic has encountered) seems to be that of either quelling a red tide of Com-; munism or being swamped by it. The order to “shoot to kill’ issued to the soldiery | of the nation in an effort to suppress rioting and} disorder would seem a real antidote to the excesses of | which a part of the populace has been guilty during) the last few days. | ‘These excesses were to be expected in view of the tendency of many people to mistake liberty for license. , ‘The churches of Spain doubtless were regarded @s) an integral part of the old regime and, as such, were | attacked by that element of the population which secks a complete reversal of the order of things under which} they live. For centuries the religious people of Spain’ have brought treasure to the ornamentation of their} churches and cathedrals. They would be a rich prize | for looters and much looting doubtless has been done. i Much has been heard in recent weeks about the! relations between the Catalonian government at Bar-) celona and the central government at Madrid ana shortly after the abdication of Alfonso there was al movement to establish a separate Catalan republic. Bet- ter judgment prevailed, however, and Catalonia now is an integral part of the Republic. ‘The fact remains that Barcelona long has been a hot-; bed of Communism in Spain and that the tenets of this; political doctrine have been widespread in the country./ ‘The fact constitutes a powder keg upon which the Re-| publican administration sits. It is a situation which re-| quires both strength and discretion if one of the world’s important nations is not to become a counterpart of Soviet) Russia. ] ‘The indications are Spain will settle down. The abuses} which prevailed under the Monarchy doubtless will be cured as rapidly as possible and Spain probably will bal saved from the “dictatorship of the proletariat” which some of its self-claimed patriots probably wish for ft.| After all, the traditions of Spain are just as much alive under a Republican form of government as under a Mon- archy. Bloodless revolts, such as the storm of ballots which ousted Alfonso, are hardly ever followed by wide- spread bloodshed. In loosing their hatreds and prejudices, that part of the| Spanish people which has participated in rioting has! plenty of precedent. There is, for instance, the French Revolution when the knitting women of Paris counted heads falling into baskets beneath the guillotine as placidly as modern women would discuss the latest methed of bobbing hair. Supplying a Nation Among American industries, electricity and gas rank| third. The seventeen billion dollars invested in provid- ing the nation with these two services is exceeded only by the investment in agriculture and the railroads. { Supplying the nation’s needs with gas and electricity cannot be considered as two separate and distinct indus- tries, they are twin services. They go hand in hand, sup- plementing each other in the home, workshop and fac- tory. Combined, they supply the light, heat and power which properly are the products of a single industry. Together they comprise a potent force in the advance- ment of civilization, turning the wheels of industry, re- moving the loads from the backs of labor, making life easier and its burdens less arduous. As yet the public has: only superficial knowledge of the electric and gas indus- try’s operations, its development and policies, The history of the electric and gas industries has been one of constant progress. Either or both are today avail- able in practically every community in the United States. Approximately 42,000,000 customers are using them and more than 1,000,000 customers are being added to this tre- mendous total each year. In 1900 less than $500,000,000 was invested in electric light and power companies. In 1920, $4,100,000,000 and during the next ten years more than double that of the preceding twenty. Today electric power and light represents an investment of approximately $11,800,000,000; manufactured gas, $3,000,000,000 and the rapidly developing natural gas business brings the total capital investment in supplying light, heat and power to probably well in excess of $17,200,000,000. In 1900 manufactured gas was used almost entirely for dlluminating purposes but in the next 30 years the gas in- dustry saw greater development than before the advent of electricity. Today 90 per cent of its product is used for heating purposes. Fire on the Farm During 1930 farmers suffered one of tae greatest fire; losses in agricultural history—a total of about $125,000,000, | according to the National Fire Waste Council, as com- pared with an average of $100,000,000 in “normal” years. ‘This unusually heavy fire loss was attributed largely to the drought, which increased the common farm hazards such as highly combustible buildings, isolation from the protection of adequately equipped fire companies, and | this number had been increased to 36,900, and the 1890 | known local jurist who some years ago lectured a number |interesting to all of us than the trial of Jesus from the | courage and self-possession.

His Explanation (Indianapolis News) i An elderly woman complained to the contractor who} was remodeling her home that the two laborers’ language was shocking.

In the Lake Tulare district of California an airplane was used recently to scatter poisoned grain Jover 14,000 acres and the act so aroused John B. May, |director of the division of ornithology in Massachusetts, that he issued a broadside in the defense of sparrows. Dr. May estimated that sparrows destroy 875 tons of weed seeds in the farming districts of Iowa alone, and that in a single winter. He said a biological survey on birds in California showed that Mr. English Sparrow averaged 86.2 per cent of weed seeds in his crop every time he was examined. A Boy’s Future (New York World Telegram) Bryan Untiedt’s parents might have cashed in on his heroism. Hollywood was ready to make a contract. From a strictly financial standpoint it was an open and shut proposition. Many will say that the Untiedts made a mistake. They appear to be more concerned with their boy's future, however, than with the idea of easy money. “We do not want him to live on the honor of the na- tion,” says Mrs. Untiedt, mother not only of the boy hero but of five other children, one of whom died in the blizzard. “We want him to be a real man through his own efforts,” she says. Now you know where Bryan Untiedt got some of his such mothers there will be no lack of such boys. The DO-X Difficulties (Washington Evening Star) The DO-X, Germany's mammoth flying boat, is hav- ing a difficult time of it on its projected flight to America. Begun with great ballyhoo nearly two years 2go, the ambitious attempt of the ship to span the At- lantic has met with one misfortune after another. First, a pontoon was crushed in Holland on the first lap of its journey. Several days were required to repair the damage before the ship was taken to England. On the English take-off for Lisbon, which was to be the| starting point of the crossing, great difficulty was expe- rienced in getting the 56-ton craft into the air. Buffeted by head winds, the DO-X was forced down on the sea| before the Portuguese capital was reached and was com- pelled to taxi more than 50 miles before making a haven. Shortly after that the ship caught on fire and an entire wing burned off. Repairs were not completed for sev- eral months, but finally the DO-X was again ready to general lack of fire-quenching facilities. Even so, the annual farm loss cannot be justified. Nu- merous studies have been completed and others are being made on how to reduce the waste. Many authoritative booklets, dealing with every phase of the agricultural fire. problem, are available. The barrier in the way of pre- vention, of course, is the same on farms as in citles— the refusal of the individual to learn the fundamentals of fire prevention, and his careleasness in permitting un- necessary hazards to go uncorrected. It cannot be questioned that the annual fire waste has. done much to prevent farm prosperity. Even if all prop- Ne reread mat Beery tceer tel ts time, devastated land.

This time it got as far as the Canary Islands, but on an attempted take-off several days later a big wave smashed into the wings and ren- dered it again hors de combat. Now, with the ship in Portuguese Guiana, revolutionists have seized a fort) where gasoline was stored and converted the fuel to their own use, leaving the DO-X stranded. ‘This series of misfortunes appears to demonstrate con- clusively. that the giant boat ts unwielay, cumbersome | Line’s Busy! = BY DR.

From this the disease won its popular name of “St. Anthony’s Fire,” but it is now called erysipelas. This is an inflammation of the skin which causes a very striking shininess |which may be almost like glass. A patient writes in: “My skin is so shiny you can almost see your face on it.” She paints a perfect picture of erysipelas. “The skin over my nose and cheeks is inflamed, red, feels bot when I touch it, seems tight and stretched, itches and burns, hurts when I press it, and there is a swollen #rea which is an ugly red and ts rais- cd above the rest of the skin, with small blisters on it, and two or three Ittle abscesses with pus, albumin is showing in the urine, I have had a high fever, and cannot sleep at night.” Erysipelas usually begins on the face but may come elsewhere on the body, and the inflammation of the skin with the red patch is accompan- ied by a definite toxemia and a high fever. The redness shows on the first ;day and by the second day it will have spread, when the rest of the face may be so swollen that it is hard to recognize the features. While this is a germ disease, the underlying cause is a systemic toxe- mia and those whose resistance is normal will not be bothered by the germ. Erysipelas is very contagious. Osler maintains that a doctor who bas been neara case of erysipelas should not be present at a confine- ment, as this disease is frequently contracted by women after delivery. Tt. is occasionally known to follow an operation, frequently accompanies Bright's Disease and the weaknesses cue to age Most cases come in spring ond the disease is known all over the world. An average attack will last about ten days and is self-limited, that is, the patient will usually recover even ii nothing is done. However, those who have one attack usually have cthers, as many as twenty of them appearing, unless the patient is will- ing to remove the basic cause; then he will be safe from subsequent at- tacks. ‘The true cause of this disease is the presence of bodily poisons or toxins. In every case there must be a sys- temic acidosis present in the body be- fore the bacteria can find a suitable breeding ground. ..Such acidosis is due to improper food and wrong food combinations. The patient is really in a condition of chronic. poisoning. To cure the erysipelas it is necessary Dr. McCoy will gladly answer Personal questions on health and diet addressed to him. care of The Tribune.

The fever also indi- cates a bodily toxemia and the pur- Pose of the fever is to assist in burn- ing up these poisonous wastes. ‘The right treatment is very simple and will lessen the time of the at- tack and keep the patient from feel- ing so weak after the fever has left. The first thing is to Stop all ' food. Give plenty of water to drink. Keep the patient on either an orange juice or plain water fast, giving the orange juice once every two hours. If the strict fast is kept up with daily enemas, the fever will go down within three or four days. Keep the affect- ed parts clean and the itching and burning can be soothed somewhat by the application of wet cloths wrung out of cold water. This remedy is still good, having stood the test of time since Hippocrates, “the father of medicine,” first recommended it. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Mongolian Type Question: H. K. writes: “I: was leading your answer in this column te a woman who wanted to know about her little girl. You said: the child was of the Mongolian type, and Iam at a loss to know just what that is. Would appreciate it if you would explain what is meant by that.” Answer: The Mongolian type is a certain type of idiocy. This has not! ing to do with orientals, but is con- genital idiocy, with marked liveliness and imitativeness, flattened skull with an oblique eye slant, mobile hips, short thumbs and little fingers. It 1s associated with the lack of thy- roid secretion, but does not exactly resemble cretinism. Popcorn Question: B. A. asks: “Is there any food value in popcorn? If so, what?” Answer: There are a great many caloric or heat units in popcorn, the. food value consisting mostly of starch.

Bad mixtures of food which ‘produce stomach irritation are per- haps the most responsible for the sudden headache just after the meal. TODAY {S THEY On May 14, 1917, President Wilson approved the completed plans for the immediate expansion of the regular army to full war strength, 293,000 men, through the formation as rap- idly as possible of all the units au- thorized by the National Defense Act of June 3, 1916. ‘The orders issued by the president called for the formation of 27 regi- ments of infantry, 12 of artillery and six of cavalry. When these have been: obtained the army would have 64 regiments of infantry, 21 of artillery and 25 of cavairy—a total of 110 regi- ments, ‘The new regiments were an addi- tion to the National Guard and to the draft army-of 500,000.
