A few daysago we were all vigorous- 1y kicking because summer was so un- commonly Jong in arriving. Now we are all kicking on account of the su- perstrenuous manner of summer’s sud- den arrival. But the health guardians in the ty's departments have no time for fu complaints. They are “on the job” everv miuute and no matter what the erratic weather chaps may <o, the timely bulletin. regular or special, is readr for us. with informa- tion concerning the seasonable don’ts as_well as the seasonable “musts. Medical sharps tell us that hot weather is a blessing in disguise to many of us. That it may be a less dis- guised blessing to more of us, let us so far as possible carry out the in- structions of the health department. We are admonished to reduce our food allowance, cut out strong drink greasy things alone. consume guan ties of pure water—externally, not in- ternally —and live largely on vegeta- Dbles, fruits, ceresls, and nl these signs we can cunguer the weath- or man and contemplaie the sun and the thermometer without terror.— —Chicagoe Record-Herald.

It is five rears since a statisticiap in the employ of the Department of Agriculture was discovered to be di- vulging secret information to a group of cotton specuiators. Yesterday two of the operators engaged in the traffic paid fines to the total of $11.000. The statistician is still unpunished and other speculators have been able to fight off trial though under indictment. “By what process these men have been,_ able to dodge bprosecution it would take too long to detail.

The average citizen will note bother his brain greatly over the disposition of these costly has-beens. The govern- ment pays big salaries to men who are trained us exnerts in such matters.
