EXPLANATION OF
 POOR CAR SERVICE

Bitter and mournful is the cry that eminates from the portion of the city that Is soreiy stricken by the loss of the Belt Line cars. Many wailing notes have been sounded in the now twilight zone." one prolonged wall at the loss of their favorite conveyance. and so one of the most mournful notes describing the distress of the erstwhiie a travellers was sent to The Advertiser yesterday.
 This note was shown General Super intendent Ginnavan, of the Montgom- cry Traction Company. who is held res sponsibfe by the sufferers for their dis tress. After reading 1t, with q most paiued expression, Mir. Ginnivan had the following say:
 "rt is a pity that the patrons of the car line will not walt until we get things on a working basis the com pany Is losing money by the non-oper. ation of the Belt Line, but at present 1t is impossible to run 1t. The com pany is deep in renovation of the car tracks and until this work is done we have to make out the best we can The company Is spending s lot of mon. ey getting the tracks in, working or der and to do this work and at the same time furnish the people with q fast schedule in all parts of the city is practically Impossible. We are do- ing the best we can and will continue to.
 we would put the Belt car back now if the City Council would allow us to put in a switch at Jackson and Rip ley Streets. A petition asking for per mission to do this Is now in the hands of the Council. and if 1t is granted the Belt car will go back on the run as soon as the work Is finished
 Tt is the object of the company to give the patrons of the cars on all lines and in all districts of the city the best service possible, but 1t cannot all be done at once."

FIRST SETTLERS OF SELMA | AND MONTGOMERY WERE MOOREs
General Woodward Writes Briefly of the Men Who First Built Cabins in Montgomery and Selma-ln Montgomery the Settlement
 Was on West End Bluff.

The letter herewith published Is the shortest of the eptire series which form the sReminiscences of General Thomas 6. Woodward. Like most of the letters tt was originally addressed to J. J. Hooper. of The Montgomery Mall, for publication in that paper. There are In the original publication a series of stars which indicate that Mir. Hooper left out a part of the origi- nal communications for reasons of his own.
 General Woodward mentions the fact that the first settlers of both Mont gomery and Selma were named Moore; although he does not say whether they were or were not related.
 He mentions briefly the relief" he contributed to person he had known earlier in life. This was Mrs. Dill. the woman he rescued from the In- dians In Florida in 1918 an incident described in . previous letter. s'ome friend had written him that the wo- man was living in Columbus. Ga. but was in need and want. General Wood ward immediately sent her sum of money.
 His next letter is much longer and 1t deals with incidents relating to the beginning of the Creek Indian War which were never written or pubilshe cd until he set them down.

Flesh Foods.

Food fads must have been eulti-
waited as o az men selected rations
for armies. Greeks and Arabs did not
long compete in feats OF skill, strength
and endurance before they began to
look into the food, the variety and
quantity, supposed to be promotive of
success. Horace Fletcher, the advo-
cate Of thorough chewing of small
quantities Of food, has made a great
number Of converts. Physicians take
with respect the tables of Prof. Chit
tenden, who looks closely into what
he calls the nitrogen balance and OPP
poses the use of more heterogeneous, or
protein, food than the system will
absorb and use.
Volt, a predecessor OF Chittenden
In the tabulation of food require
ments, calculated that 11s grammes
of protein a day supplied the balance.
Atwater Of Harvard put the quantity
at 125 grammes. C~hittenden con-
cluded that sixty grammes was enough.
The japanese increased the protein
ration over the previous allowance and
the soldiers thrived and performed re-
markable feats OF endurance. In
British prisons, where the effort has
been to supply s~ustenance at the least
expense, ifty-eight grammes weak
ened the physical strength. Even 100
grammes were found too little for men
who did any work at all. In France
a ration containing ninety-four gram
mes of protein was found too poor In
meat.
Protein, OF course, in a rough way,
is the element OF food contained in
meat, beans and other substances rich
In nitrogen. II is the main source OF
building up flesh tissue in the human
body. The most recent study OF the
subject has been made by Sir James
Crichton-Browne, the Englishman. His
position is rather against the dependa.
bility OF Chittenden's tables for the
average Angle-saxen. A certain
amount of protein is necessary in one
form OF another. There is an irreduei

labor Day Hopes.

Labor Day has become one Of the
most genuine and widely observed of
the few holidays taken out of the
years work by the people of the
United States. In a narrow view, It is
a class day. In the excessively narrow
view, II has a hint Of menace and
combative assertion. Even in this
worst view It is a wholesome demon
stration Of equality, courage and am
bition among citizens Of the greatest
republic.
On Labor Day those who participate
honor the dignity Of labor and that is
the best of its lessons. They listen to
addresses, which in most places are
serious, well balanced comments on
public anairs, made by men Of proven
competence and patriotic principles.
There Is evident in all classes a kindly
feeling toward manual labor and it's
organization for self-protection. At
points where the population is favor
able to such displays there are SPORT
ms VhNhlb az WhAOh bhNAV - q iAVhuAg
mixing Of the classes and no friction
from a lack Of class cordially. None
of our days of relaxation are more
peacefully devoted to harmless enjoy
ment. The central object OF setting
the day apart is carried in a spirit
of fraternalism.
The knowledge that practically all
Americans are workingmen tends to
bring all together in sentiment on the
day when labor is the concentrated
thought. There is no line Of privilege
between the humblest wielder of tools
and the great railroad constructor who
has been Frustrated by overwork and
the president OF the United States,
who has no week day free from pro-
tracted toll.

RlaaohAd Flnnr

DR.. Harvey Wiley's battle for pure
foods and against %adulterants and un-
wholesome ingredients has won him
a strong public support. This he still
holds, in spite Of his partial setback
in the benEoate of soda matter and in
spite of the opinion in many quarters
that his demands are too technical
and extreme.
Much more important than the
benzoste of soda case or the whisky
and wine disputes is the contention
recently introduced about the bleach
ing Of flour. AS nearly as the layman
can ascertain, the bleaching of -four
is a simple process which is not harm
full, but customary in the trade to
make the appearance uniform and &C
ceptable to accustomed to
that standard Of appearance. There
will be an exhaustive Investigation, it
is expected, until the government and
the public are satisfied about the
facts and the intention of the law.
DR.. Wiley has been a useful ofAcial.
There were acknowledged evils and
deceits in the preparation of food
stuffs used in vast quantities. Nobody
has doubted his honesty of purpose
OF professional ability.
II would be regrettable IL an over
strict ruling about -four should cause
unnecessary loss to honorable manu-
facturers, whose margin of profit is
already smaller than that Of almost
any other branch Of industry. AT the
same time, II the process in question
does materially affect the quality of
a foodstuff in use wherever there is
a household or wherever men eat,
there should be strictness of regula-
ton to the limit Of reasorableness.
That flour as 1t is made in America
should be harmful or deceptive seems
incredible to the ~non-expert, because
the interests involved are too great
and the risks too far beyond good
Judgment. Yet 1t is not for the non
expert to decide. The question has
been raised and must be settled by
the experts, In or out Of the courts.

ComplimentarY.

The official tabulation Of the re-
turns Of the recent Nebraska primary
must be gratifying in one respect to
all the candidates involved in the con-
test. 1t turns out that each candidate
ran best in his home county whose
voters are presumed to be most famil-
lar with the candidates record and
qualifications.
In Madison county, where he long
resided, Judge Barnes topped the list
for supreme judge 8 to / over the next
highest.
In Gage county, where he practices
law, Mr.. Cobbey led the whole process
sion.
In Douglas county, with our three
candidates, each one Of them shows up
d bigger vote than any Of his com
petitors from outside counties.
In Buffalo county, likewise with two
candidates. each of them polled a
handsome vote we'll in excess of the
nearest rival.
Finally, in York county, where
Judge Sedgwick has lived for many
years, the returns make him the favor
tie son by more than 3 to /.
On the democratic side, even with
out a contest, a similar situation is
disclosed, Judge Dean holding first
place in his home county Of Custer,
Judge Good in his home county of
Saunders and Judge Sullivan in his
twin home of Platte and Douglas.
Thus, aver those who were dropped
out by the first heat in the race may
take comfort in the showing made. in
their own communities.

Kansas City star.
A certain skin disease which Is breaking
out here and there has been charged by
evidently uniformed persons to the use Of
corn. This disorder Is called p~ellagra. 1t
IL defined in the dictionaries as follows:
A endemic disease, particularly noticed
among the Milanese, which consists in the
skin being covered with tubercles and
rough scales and in debility, vertigo, cpl
lepsy and great depression OF spirits"
So, as you see, pellagra does everything
to a person who has Il which corn does not.
In the first place It is endemic; that Is,
It belongs TO a particular locality. This
locality is Milan, and not America. As
the Milanese are especially addicted to
pellagra. and as they are not addicted to
corn, IL follows, most logically, that pella-
gra N corn have no connection.
Pellagra blotches up the skin with tuber-
Giles and rough scales, speaking Of which,
how many Of these do you find on the
glorious corn fed girls who are the pride
Of the west, and on any OF the steady con-
sumers Of corn3
Pellagra. the l~exicons tell us, causes de-
bllity, vertigo, epilepsy and great depros-
sion Of spirits. Now, just follow up the
~" hHO"H ~ SOu rs hNh"e y"
corn bread and hominy and mush and see
how much depression and debility you
won't find.
Right here, in the section where we live,
is the very place to exonerate corn Of the
mean and malicious charge of ~pellagra.
The finest breed of people on the globe is
found In Kansas and Missouri and the
southwest, and corn Is the "ohief OF their
diet" They are no more like unto the
Milsnese with their tuberoles and scales
than Hyperion to a satyr."
This pellagra libel is a fine slam for any
American to give to the king Of cereals in
his native land, To be sure, It is one OF
those foolish stories that prove nothing but
the stupidity Of their inventors and that
SANDER is like death-in the respect tina
Il loves a shining mark.

That Extra Session.

Governor Shallenberger freely de-
clares that he has no intention Of call
ing the legislature IN extra session,
Notwithstanding the expressed demand
Of the democratic state platform.
The governor explains his disincli-
nation to respond to the platform
makers demand on the ground that
there would be nothing for the legis-
lature to do unless pending litigation
should result in invalidating some Of
the laws passed at the last session,
which he considers important.
But the platform demand does not
refer in this connection to this legis-
lation at all, but aims merely at rati-
ication of the income tax amendment
submitted by congress in order to put
Nebraska first on the list Of ratifying
states. True, Nebraska cannot have
the coveted first place. because Ala
bama already has that. But IL the
encouragement of Nebraska's example
would have warranted the expense Of
an extra session to get in first the
honor of being second ought to be
worth almost as much.
Then again, there is the question
whether a platform is in the nature of
a contract with the people and constt-
tutes an obligation which the governor
is bound to discharge. In other words,
Is a platform binding?
