If masked player holds you up some night at the end of long gun, it is called robbery, and entities you to telephone the police, but if your wife holds you up for a much larger amount the next morning at the end of a long hug, it is termed diplomacy, and counts in her favor In this, as in other games of life, wives are usually allowed more privileges than other outlaws.-Judge.

WILSON HITS NAIL SQUARELY
Secretary of Agriculture Explains High Cost of Living by Saying
 Too Many Distributors.

They have all been trying to ex- plain why the high cost of living, and to account for all the trouble it seems to be making. Not one of the way-up politicians and-well-sta statesmen, have come within mile of the real cause until Secretary Wilson found time to express himself the other day when out came the exact facts in the case, says Dakota Farmer. The secretary said he is organizing his forces as fast as possible so as to make a thorough investigation and a searching inquiry into the reasons underlying the un- reasonable difference between the wholesale and retail price of food products
 This is one thing which he hopes will cast some light upon the subject, but he continues:
 Too many persons are engaged in the business of distribution. What we need is more farming Too many per sons are rushing to town and city and trying to make living there, and not enough are staying in the country. Too many persons are trying to get along without work, and not enough of them are in the business of producing something.
 One man could do the business of distribution where 20 are now en- gagged in it. That is the reason why the cost of living is high and people are complaining. People must learn that they cannot get along without work, and the best place for them is on the farm. where they can raise something"
 Here is the point exactly. People have decided to live in the city whether needed there or not, and the only way to do this is to become mid dle men of one kind or another. This is the prime reason why so many cry out when the producer buys any thing direct from the manufacturers. The world owes us a living" these people say, but they prdpose to get that living handed over to them where they please to ask for it, and largely by intercepting what the pro- ducer sells and what he buys.
 It is useless for these people to say T don't like farming; and if 1 did. lands too high"
 Nonsensei An ignorant young for eigner who cannot even speak our language will land here next spring in debt for his passage, and inside of ten years, if he has the good sense to go onto the cheap lands of Dakota or Montana or on to the s7 to S10 lands of central and northern Minnesota, will own his own self-supporting farm home. and ride in his own carriage after his own horses. We have seen it done time and again within that time, and it will be done for years to come. The writer did it himself in the backwoods of Wisconsin and on the prairies of Dakota. and could do 1t again today if he had to, and would have a good time doing it, too.
 This kind of talk might do in the old country where land is out of reach, but here in a country which until lately has been giving good land away in 160-acre chunks, it is useless to make such statements. Mir Wilson has it right: "Too many are trying to get along without work" or hardships of any kind. They think, or try to, that somebody, somehow or some way. ought to hire them and pay them wages and let them live where they please" MT. Wilson Is eminently right

A GOOD CHANGE A Change of Food Works Wonders.

The wrong food and drink causes a lot of trouble in this world To change the food is the first duty of every person that is i'll, particularly from stomach and nervous troubles. As an illustrations: A lady in Mo- has, with her husband, been brought around to health again by leaving off coffee and some articles of food that did not agree with them. They began us- ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She says:
 For a number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble which kept getting worse unutil I was very ill most of the time. About four years ago I left off coffee and began taking Postum. My stomach and bowels improved right along, but I was so reduced in flesh and so nervous that the least thing would overcome me.
 Then I changed my food and be- gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to Postum. I lived on these two prin- cipally for about four months. Day by day I gained in flesh and strength until now the nervous trouble has en- tirely disappeared and I feel that owe my life and health to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
 Husband is 73 years old and he was troubled for long time with occa- sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally prevailed upo- him to leave off coffee and take Postum. He had stood out for long time, but after he tried Postum for a few days he found that he could sleep and that his cramps disappeared. He was satisfied and has never gone back to coffee.
 T have brother in California who has been using Postum for several years; his whole family use it also be- sause they have had such good results rom it."
