FALSE HUNGER
A Symptom Of Stomach Trouble Cor.
rected by Good Food.

There is, with some forms of stom-
ach trouble, an abnormal craving for
food which is frequently mistaken for
good appetite" A lady teacher
writes from Carthage, Mo-, to e1-
plain how with good food she dealt
with this sort of hurtful hunger.

years, and up to nine years ago had

however, my health began to fail

time my appetite continued good, only
the more I ate the more I wanted to
eat-I was always hungry.
"The first symptoms of my break

and a loss of flesh. The nervousness
grew so bad that finally it amounted to
actual prostration. Then came stom-
ach troubles. which were very painful,

Canada and the United States is that
this country gives up duties to the
amount of $4,S5O,OO0, while Canada
gives up $2,56O,O0o. The total value
of tha goods this country will admit

Attention has already been called
TO the fact that the first month OF our
experimental postal savings banks
furnishes creditable showing for the
system. But a point that deserves
emphasis is that the money placed in
these new banks has not been taken
from older repositories In other
words, the deposits in the savings
banks represent that much new saw
ings. That goes to answer one Of the
questions raised by those who OBJ
jected to the experiment They feared,
or commended, that II the new system
prospeted It might be at the expense
OF other institutions OF course the
argument does not seem strong
enough to alarm, and now we find that
II is not, taking the first months ex-
perience as test Of the tendency.
Forty-eight of these savings banks
were created bye the government to
start the system and their average de-
posits for January we're $3.50 per
bank. The February report Is ex-
pected TO show a consistent increase.
So that the government feels quite
well repaid for its venture and the
postmaster general is now arranging
the details to extend the system by
means OF the 100000 appropriation
granted by congress for that purpose.
A great many factors enter into con-
sideration I'm determining this extern
sion, as of course, casual thought
would suggest
The important fact has, however,
been established--that postal savings
is feasible in the United States. or
course, as to its feasibility under
favorable conditions there was never
any doubt, since it had long ago been
demonstrated in European and other
countries. It is to the credit of many
OF those who vigorously opposed the
idea at first that they are so ready to
withdraw their objection and Judge
the innovation on its merits. In Min
nesota the State Bankers association
has gone so far as to have introduced
in the legislature a bill making it easier
to institute savings banks in that
state as a means OF competing with
the postal savings banks. One view
OF this might suggest harmful opposi-
ton. or unfriendly competition but
the broadcast view, we think, does not.
It shows that the conservative bank
ers concede the success and perma-
nence of the plan, and when they
create other savings banks the general
effect will be simply to promote the
welfare OF all such institutions by en-
couraging the habit Of saving among
the people.

How Far to Be Old. Fashioned.

Folks often hear It said that the
old-fashioned ways are the best. In
every period OF history, and none more
than the present, the question is
raised TO mark the lines OF future
policies, 1t appears in the present
political struggle in our country. All
men demand TO go forward, but they
disagree as to the ways that lead on.
In religion even more than politics,
this tendency exists. The church
divides on the lines OF orthodoxy and
unorthodoXy, OF conservatism and
liberalism. Many preachers and
theologlans say, II viii hold to the
old-fashioned doctrines; they are good
enough for me-"
In statecraft, in religion, In society
certain fundamental principles can
never change To them the state or
the church must hold securely. But
old principles and old doctrines can
be made to apply 10 new conditions
and being old-fashioned is safe and
justifiable only when IL does not
prevent one from being progressive

The BOgey of Polygamy.

Former United States Senator
Frank J, Cannon, son of one-time
leader of the Mormon church, and sew
eral other magazine writer's, are warn
ing the people against what they are
pleased to term a revival of strength
among the followers of Brigham
Young. They contend that polygamy
has been restored. that goo polyga-
nous marriages have been contracted
and the Mormon church has not OBJ
jected. The picture OF Mormon ag-
erosion Is quite menacing. One
writer sees them dominating the po-
litical affalrs OF six states and fears
for the nation
The picture strikes us as overdrawn
In the last election in Utah, the home
and headquarters of Mormonism. the
American party achieved an over
whelming victory. Long ago this gov
eminent placed an embargo upon
polygamy That violations OF the law
should occur Is 20 be deplored, but NOT
wondered at They probably never
entirely ceased. We have difficulty in
this country enforcing other laws. The
fact is polygamy as an institution Of
church or state has been oyerthrown.
II Mormons should resume openly the
practice OF this custom which our laws
forbid our laws will find a way to stop
them.
But one writer says, whereas fifty
years ago there were only 700 Nor
mons In this country. today there are
100000 That may be true. and stlu
be poor showing. Proportionately.
with all other stupendous growth and
progress in the United States. the
Mormons had to make gains to avoid
falling behind the procession. When
We consider the vast resources they
have had In their ceaseless efforts To
propagate their faith. these results
are certainly nothing to become
alarmed over. Not only have the
Mormons lost ground politically in
their own state-as they call Utah
but there has been a steady and strong
Influx OF other denominations, which
are building up powerful centers OF
education. While this is going on in

Workmen', Compensation

A bill has been introduced into the
Nebraska legislature 70 provide for
the compensation Of employees for in
iuries sustained by Industrial acct
dents. This bill, which is presented
through Representative Evans. has
been adapted from a formulation by
several organizations, representing
both employers and employed, in con-
junction with the National Civic Fed
Grafton, whose department Of indus
trial Cancellation was until recently
under the direction Of John Mitchell,
and represents the views Of those who
have studied the subject most thor
oughly.
This measure, or measures Of sim
liar content, Is pending in other states
besides Nebraska and 1t is only a
question Of what states shall take the
lead in this far-reaching reform. The
New York legislature last year en-
acted workmens compensation law
covering part OF the field, but no one
can doubt that the subject is claiming
steadily increasing attention, and that
some method OF caring for the victims
OF Industrial accidents must take the
place Of the existing system Of casu-
atty insurance, which means either
inadequate compensation or a costly
lawsuit by which the injured work
men either gets nothing or divides
what he does get with the lawyers
The problem, perhaps, does not
press upon Nebraska as an agricul-
tural state quite so forcibly as It does
upon other states but for that very
reason Nebraska Is in better position

gressive movement.

Il may seem, this peculiar alliance

most foreboding shadow resting upon

The causes and effects I'm France

that what ails the body polite Of

whole system OF government and
threatens more evil results. Any
remedy looking to a cure must be
comprehensive enough to apply to this
revolutionary influence.
Complaining still further Frances
unpleasant condition is Germany's dis
pleasure at the return to the ministry
OF NJ. Delcasse, whose removal I'm 1905
from the ministry Of the marine was
taken as a concession to Germany. The
German press is outspoken in its dis
approval of Delcasse's return to power.

Farmers and the Railroads.

The Rock Island is one of the great
railroads that are doing much for in
tensive farming by their work of edu-
cation. Like others it has accom-
plished a great deal with its special
educational trains sent over its 5000
miles OF tracks The Union Pacific,
Burlington, Northwestern and other
roads have contributed vitality to this
important work. These railroads are
able to employ the best talent and
facilities for spreading the gospel of
scientific agriculture and It Is a splen-
did thing for this propaganda. 1t
means vastly more than can be meas
ured in dollars and cents to have the
combined influence, intelligently di-
rected, of the railroads in promoting
the cause.
But of course, the railroads are do
ing this, not purely from a philan-
thropic standpoint. Philanthropy
may be factor, but they are reaping
benefits, as they have a right to.
Greater development, larger crops,
more scientific farming, all alike help
to multiply their sources of income
and swell dividends. Yet, It has only
been OF late years that we have had
this excellent cooperation, so that
even selfish interest is being turned to
good account When the farmers and
the railroads reach plane on which
they can combine their powers in mu-
tual cooperation they have attained an
end worth striving for. The two united
double the resources and make posi-
BILE wonderful results. There is no
good reason why the utmost frankness
might not exist between them, for
certainly they are most intimately al
lied economically.

Thoroughness.

This is an age of specialists. In
most lines of art, science and industry
energies are confined to single chan
nels, and 1t is conducive, of course to
tremendous efficiency in the aggre-
gate, But specializing should not and
does not contemplate any lack of thor
oughness. 1t levies no embargo
against complete mastery Of every
part and department of a business or
profession, but encourages IL, and the
man who possesses that has great
advantage over the one who does not.
A friend once said to J. Pierpont
Morgan; "Mr, Morgan, they tell me
that you can do the work OF anybody
in your Office better than he can, him
self"
"oh don't know about better, but
what l do know is that can sit down
at the desk OF any clerk in my estab-
lishment and take up his work where
he left of and go ahead with it," And
after a moments reflection the great
financier added: Il don't like being
at the advantage OF any man.
While few persons may hope to be
prodigies like Mr.. Morgan, all may
gain the advantage that comes from
thoroughness. Great emphasis needs
to be laid on this in the school room,
the first training place Of the boy and
girl for life's activities, 1t should
take the place of the tendency to skim
over and get a smattering OF the les
son. which binders all too many young
people after they have fitted through
their schooling and gone out to cope
with more practical world. It is
difficult TO lay too broad a foundation.
