sequent demand for manufactured ar
ticleS. The increase in professional
lines during this time was eight-t2nths
of per cent. while the number of per-
sons engaged in domestic and personal
service decreased one-tenth of 1 per
cent.
The great increase came in the num-
Der of persons engaged in trade and
transportation. an increase of 5.5 per
cent. OF the 1853 per cent of the work
ing people engaged in trade and trans
portation in 1900 only nine-tenthS were
engaged in transportation proper. The
others, 15.4 per cent of all the people
of the United States who work, were
simply middlemen. Complete figures
since 1900 are not available, but the
cityward trend has increased rather
than diminished.
Here is the true explanation of the
high cost of living. There are more
than one-third as many men engaged
in distributing food as there are in
producing it. The consumers dollar
is worn thin before it gets to the pro-
Queer. The 100000 men who farm
must supply food to the 100000 peo-
PIE NDO are "OIhlIS tue
TO the 100000 people who are doing
nonproductive work and to the 46,00O,-
600 people who do not work at all.
And because the changed ratio Of sup
ply and demand are enabling the farm
er to make Il profit where before he
worked at loss there is a great Outcry
over the high cost of living. This out
cry will not change things in the least.
Neither will boycotts nor anti-meat So
cieties.
There is only one remedy, reversal
of the tide of population. The abnor-
NAL growth of cities must be checked.
Farming must be restored to its proper
place in the industrial world. In the
succeeding articles we shall note some
of the forces that are bringing this

Here were lands of unparalleled fer
tility that had merely to be scratched
to give forth their bountiful supplies.
The result was that the markets of the
world were flooded with foodstuffs.
By 1896 the middle west was pretty
well settled The bloom Of its virgin
fertility had been removed. Soon the
days of using corn for fuel and wheat
to feed the hogs were past. Prices of
farm products began to rise. IF there
had been no other factor entering in
they would soon have reached a nor
NAL level, and the reimbursement would
have come with little trouble Unfor-
tunately the tide of population toward
the cities had become too strong to be
turned in a day.
From 1880 to 1900 the percentage of
farmers decreased from 44.3 to 1916,
a decrease of 81 per cent. During the
same period the percentage of persons
engaged in manufacturing increased
from 21S TO 243 This increase of %
per cent is no more than normal and
may be accounted for by the increase
in the standard of living and the con-

Alleged Thief Brought Hereafter
a search for the past six months
which had been instituted for John
Schroeder, against whom a charge of
larceny has been served, the young
man has been apprehended and has
been brought to Davenport for trial.
Schroeder is charged with having
broken into Whipka's place in the
western end of the city on Dec. "a,
1909, but when he was placed under
arrest he stoutly denied having any
knowledge of the theft and made no
resistance to the officers. It is said
that Schroeder is a former inmate of
Fort Madison, where he served two
years. Larceny from a building in the
day time is the formal charge upon
which he will be tried.

Why Not Have Parcel-Post?

We know that more than $4,000
600 is being expended this year to
provide for country deliveries. The
Postmaster-Gene says their wag-
ons are now carrying an average of
but twenty-five pounds. Each of
these could handle five hundred
pounds, and with second horse, at
fifty cents day, twelve hundred

The farmers along these country
delivery routes suffer the greatest in

cannot send into town their butter
and eggs and cannot receive back the
merchandise which they are con-
stantly needing.-Life.

If you wear tight shoes now, you
will have to wear very loose ones
when you grow up, for a growing
foot cannot be cramped without
throwing the joints out of place, and
this, is time, will result in actual de-
formity. Keep the feet in healthy
condition with a daily bath of soap
and water and put on fresh stockings
as often as possible. Spend some of
the candy money, too, for cooling
foot powder and dust this over the
feet after every bath and when put
ting on fresh stockings A little of
the powder shaken in a new pair of
shoes will help them to go on and
off more easily. A weekly soak of
twenty minutes in hot water, treated
to half cupful of washing soda,
will also rest the feet greatly, and
help to Danish the soft corn which
is caused by the wrong shoes, per-
spiratiOn, uncleanliness and acid in

A jump from the feet to the head

one of WOman'S greatest attractions
in the bud Pretty hair is primarily
clean hair-hair that shows no mat
ting with dust or stale oil, or that
gives out the sour odor so disagree
able to the fastidious. In order to
keep your hair sweet and clean you
should persuade your mother to buy
one of the bars Of greenish CASTLE
soap which are sold at all the good
drug stores for about thirty-nine
cents. This is absolutely pure, and
one bar will last all the family a year
for head Washings. 1t may be used
with or without the beaten-up egg,
which, thinned with a tablespoonful
of warm water, goes on the head
first. The soap must be reduced to
a powder and then boiled to a jelly
and massaged into the scalp after the
egg.
Beef marrow, melted in a double
boiler, strained and scented, makes
a splendid unguent for the scalp and
beautifier for the hair, causing
