PUSsYFoOTING.
IIowa Falls Ci:izenl,


One brand of usually successful poll
tician is the fellow who can quietly and
silently get TO and pull most Of these
Interior strings that influence the votes
Of men. Here is where the idea Of
pussy-cat politician comes. He moves
silently and under cover. He studies
carefully each mans likes and dis
likes, each mans hatreds and enmities.
each mans hobbies and principles. He
pulls the strings and disappears, leav-
ing no tracks behind. The man who
mixes in this maelstrom of political
corruption seldom If ever escapes
without being bespattered and be-
smeared. Men whose natural dispo-
sition is to do what is right are sub
ject to the failines of the flesh and get
by force of circumstances into compro-
missing positions. Good people go to
the political market in a beer wagon.
Scribes, judges, men of the cloth be-
come mere petty ward politicians

men, want 10 do about what is right,

FASTING AT KEokUK.

theOkuk CATE lily
1t is not generally known, but it is
q. fact nevertheless. that number of
keokuk people of both sexes have
adopted Upton Sinclair's fasting fad as
a, remedy for all SORTS of bodily ills,
real and imagined. The practice was
begun Immediately following the APP
pearance of Sinclair's article on the
subject in one of the popular maya
zines of the day. and its votaries are
now numbered by the dozen in this
community For the most part the
fasting is done unknown to friends and
the public. In one instance husband
tasted unknown TO his wife who was
away from home for time. and in
another case a wife followed Sinclair's
advice during the temporary absence
of her husband. It is question il
either absent marital partner yet
knows of the experience undergone by
the other half of the firm"
There is nothing disgracefu1 or in
any way censurable in voluntary absti-
hence from food for a time in suitable
cases. Most people eat too much and
would enjoy better health if they ate
less or RETAINED from eating at all at
occasional intervals. Fasting permits
tain needed rest and recover their tone
and efficiency In some forms of
stomach trouble. particularly in such
as are attended with too free secretion
as the result of long continued irrita-
ton and debility. reduction of food to
the minimum, or still better in severe
cases entire abstinence from food is
necessary 70 a cure. A stomach in this
condition will get well of itself if al
lowed sufficient period of rest. Prop
er medication will hasten recovery, but
medicine is powerless in the absence of
a restricted diet.
periods of varying lengths report that
very little discomfort is felt in conse-
quence. For the first few days there
is a sense of "goneness" but this can
readily be relieved by copious draughts
of water. AS one eXperimenter ex-
planned, he found it easy to deceive
his stomach. When it demanded food
he filed it with water and il didn't
seem to know the difference. Most
experimenters noted feeling Of weak
ness after fasting a week. ten days or
two weeks in different cases, but We're
surprised that it was no greater In
a few cases the experimenters claim to
be as strong at the end of the fast as
at the beginning. OF course. too long
a fast would inevitably be followed by
serious results But within reasonable
limits fasting is a capital expedient for
keeping down the grocery and meat
bills:

THE DIFFERENCE.
There

There is considerable complaint
these days about the drinking in this
city. It is believed by many that
there is considerable of elicit dealing in
and drinking of beer and booze, and it
is evident that there is considerable in
difference 10 public sentiment against
the practice. It is reported frequent
~ that men are seen stepping into al
leys or around corners and taking good
long swigs from long brown bottles,
and it seems rather an audacious thing
TO do to say the least. There is no
law against man taking drink if he
comes by the liquor in legitimate
manner, but there is such thing as
mans making a nuisance OF himself
and this should not be permitted.

REGULATION OF DANCE HALLS,
ICadar RaniGs Ranllhlican


During the past week Cedar Rapids
has had somewhat unsavory revela-
ton OF the evils Of the public dance,
resulting in a somewhat we'll and wide
defined desire for certain regulations
TO be applied to such places OF assem-
bly,. There are some who go so far as
10 believe the whole institution ought
TO be abolished. BY the public dance
We mean the dance that is merely for
hire, for so much head, or per coup
lie and TO which ali can come, or all
that can pay the price. In such places
many undesirable influences are bound
10 be exerted, influences that right
thinking children should not come in
10 contract with. Young people go 20
such places and come out contaminat-
ed.
But al the least it would seem that
regulations should be imposed as to
age. No mere children should be al
lowed to enter them. Minors are now
excluded from the saloons and even
from the pool halls, but pool halls are
Sunday schools compared with public
dancing halls. Boys and girls under
age should be prohibited and the con-
ductors Of such places should be made
TO bear the responsibility. when it
comes to age. If such regulation is
enforced it will go far toward thinning
out the crowds in such places.
