so.
This veteran, although he is a cracking good

entitled him To considerable recognition, he

HEALTH HINTS
For Old and Young.
BY FELIX L. OSWALD, M. D.,
CHAPTER LII.

DISEASES OF INFANCY.
few years ago tho physician of deaf and
dumb asylum advertised for an assistant and
in reply received about 500 applications
from recent graduates of various medical col
leges.
Wonder what makes them so anxious to Sc
cure place of this sort" unused n neighbOr of
the attractive institution the salary is rather
slim, and should suppose q doctor would pre-
fer an independent position"
"No, you arc mistaken" replied wag;
" this is n splendid business opportunity for o
young experimenter."
DO you think SOP In what wayP"
why, don't you sec? Tho patients are
dumb and cannot complain Of malpractice"
Children are in n similar predcament Dur
ing the first two years of their existence the
young of our species suffer as much from the
mistakes of their nurses as they afterward suf-
fer from their own alterations, and consider
ing tho difficulty of articuate communication,
il is a matter of no little importance to dag
nose the diseases of childhood by their charac-
teristic symptoms.
SYMPTOMS OF DISEASE.
The popular impression that silent babies
must be sick is not altogether without founda-
ton. child in perfect health will not scream
and sputter, but is apt TO exercise its vocal or
gans on every pportunity-crOwing and laugh
ing at the return of its nurse, chuckliug at light
ofan amusing toy, or initiating the sounds of the
street, the voice of animals and birds etc. In the
first stage of certain pulmonary complaints
however. young children sometimes become
unnaturalIy taciturn, not utteTing sound for
hours together, and staring at vacancy with
peculiar contemplative expression, as if they
felt the forebodings of coming change and
wore trying TO get glimpse Of the unknown
beyond" TO use the words Of pious sick nurse
of my acquaintance. Occasionally that dispO-
sition Is combined with a strangely serene tenn
per; the child will smile at every little attempt
to attract its attention by words aud caresses,
and will then relapse into its silent mood, and
instead of complaining ut neglect, will lie
awake in its cradle, playing with tho fringes Of
its canopy in an absent-minded sort of way,
and at last go TO sleep as quietly, with or with
out supper. They are too good for a world
like this" their mothers will say with a pro-
phctic instinct, and the truth seems to be that
a child may be too languid to fret, too deficient
in vital energy to assert will of its own, and
passing from n emi-lethargic condition into
the sleep Of tho endless night.

Crimes in Cities.
NJ. c. Lockwood.

The non. enforcement of the law
arises from the neglect of officials to
perform the duties for which they
were elected, and for which they are
paid, and which they have sworn to
perform. If a party endis be to gain
ed by neglect or delay, how politely
the official gets rid of you. If po-
liceman knows that a certain saloon
keeper is powerful in politics, how
difficult it is for him to see an open
door. How a police judge will find
some flaw in the evidence, or your
prosecutor have too large calander.
When the whole executive of city is
tied up in the liquor interest, how can
you expect from it any action against
the saloon or the criminals they
make? How slowly and ponderously
and creakingly the wheels of justice
have moved in this city against the
saloons. OF course, public sentiment
Is not so slow that such crimes as
murder and burglary arc not met by
vigorous action by the authorities.
But every temptation and incentive to
these crimes is nursed and shielded.
The lesser crimes, which are related
to these greater as the bud is to the
blossom, and as lightly treated. The
lesser law breaking is the field of to-
day i'm this and other cities. The Off
Gals who will instantly commit a
murderer will consider five dollars
fine sufficient punishment for per-
sistent breaker of Sunday laws. i

have seen the man who sold beer to a
minor let off with brewers bond,
and the boy who was made drunk
committed to the house of refuge or
the work house. The man who sells
liuuor to any habitual drunkard will
be set free with some nominal fee paid
out of his own vest pocket, while the
drunkard who was Influenced by the
saloon-keeper's liquor went home and
cut his wife's throat is sure to be
hanged. In the years to come we will
be regarded as barbarians. How
wise is such a conception of justice.
We have had in this city the distinct
avowal on the part of an executive as
to what laws he would not enforce.
We have had city officials who pro.
nounced against whole legislature.
Impeachment was impossible, when
city council was the product OF the
criminals themselves.

Farm Mortgages.

The Bankers Monthly, which sure
" would not overestimate the matter,
in speaking of the farm mortgages in
six of our best states, gives the
amount carried by each as follows:
Kansas, 1926, 600 600; Indiana, $685.
100000; Iowa, 1851, 600, 900; Michigan
$6OO,OOO,OOO; Wisconsin, $3.50, OOO, 600;
Ohio, 1,127,OOO,OOO.
Here are mortgages OH the farms OF
only six states aggregatei$3, 43l ,OOO,-
600, the interest on which at 6 per
cent. amounts to over $200000,OOO.
Now the whole production of gold and
silver in the United States per year is
not enough to pay the interest on the
farm mortgages Of six states. And
vet these same bankers are demanding
the destruction Of treasury notes, the
decentralization of silver and the estab-
lishment of gold standard. Nor are
the bankers alone in this demand :
the boss politicians in both Republican
and Democratic parties are trying to
bring about the same state of affairs.
And the farmer, what is he doing ?
Well, he is economizlng, cursing the
ring politician and voting the old par
ty ticket.-Alliance Sentinel.

The Producing Masses of the Nation,

The Producing Masses of the Nation,
After being hoodwinked ahd deluded
for many years, are at last getting
their eyes open to the real facts of the
case, and are coming to know that
they have no political party to look
out for their we'll being. Hence, COM
mon sense dictates that they commence
to create one.
This was done last fall in the great
farmer states of Kansas, Nebraska,
Minnesota, South Dakota and Michi-
gan, and with such an effect that both
of plutocracy's old political machines
are now vigorously fighting the third
party movement with the vain hope
of keeping it from spreading all over
the country.
But all this time the Democratic and
Republican machine bosses deny to
the suffering farmers any legislative
relief that has real substance in it.
In fact they cannot give it without
cutting off some of the rascally chan
nels by which the plutocracy is drain
ing the resources Of the people.
The professional politician cannot
serve two masters whose interest front
each other in irreconcilable antagOn-
ism, consequently they stick TO the
plutocracy, for thereby comes big pay
and all unlimited chance for plumber

WOMAN'S COLUMN.
Conducted by MRS. ANNA CT ANPx.
Equal Rights for Women.

Every day live convinces me more
and more of the justice of this question.
was surprised not long ago to hear that
an aged English woman desired the bal
lot, but upon inquiry learned that she
was left a widow with several young
children to educate and care for, years
ago, and because there was no will, the
law stepped in and said she must do
thus and so with the little remaining
property. In-as-much rs the property
rightfully belonged to her, she could see
no Justice in law that allowed man to
do what he pleased with the home and
property, even though he neglected bis
children, but in the case of husbands
dying the wife must submit to the most
bitter humiliations, an appraiser must
come i'm and rake an inventory of even
the household effects, and everything
must be done according to law-man
made laws for the protection Of man.
ask you readers of the Farmers Voice,
YOU who believe in justice and equality,
who are trying to uplift the down-trod-
den and oppressed, where is justice and
equality shown the women Of this coun-
try? This is but one case among the
many. Another woman who brought
up large family of sons and daughters
to honorable manhood and womanhood,
said to friend II never knew what
woman must submit to until l was left
widow with several young children"
The things that were her own before
marriage were appraised with the other
furniture, and she had no right to say
or do anything. 1 wonder how many
women study or read the the laws OF
their own states. Not many, L am
afraid. I was amused only last week to
learn that the laws of Missouri are such
that husband has an absolute right 10
sell or control all of his wife's real es-
tate: I'm fact he can manage her properly
as he sees fit. A case Of this kind came
under my notice quite recently, where
the husband managed the large proper
w of his wife, sold real estate, invested
the money as he deemed best, without
consulting or recOunting to her 1or
penny. TO be sure he acted as her
agent, but so might many another nus
band. Is this free country OF the peo-
pie, for the people and by the peopieF-
