Battle Creek. Mich. Is not noted for
Its size. but for its breakfasts. Battle
Creek has only $4,000 people but they
prepare breakfasts not only for them
selves, but for many millions of others
each morning. Each day a trainload
of grain rolls into the city. and each
day two trainloads of transfgured. en-
broidered and syncopated wheat, corn
and oats 60 out in packages to a
hungry nation.
Battle Creek is surrounded and
congested with breakfast food factor
les. This Is not because the grain
around Battle Creek is any better than
It is elsewhere, but because the city
has chosen its advertising men with
great care. These men have invented
names which taste as well as the foods
themselves. The result Is that Battle
Creek is now full of happy millionaires
who amuse themselves by building
libraries hospitals, hotels, opera
houses and country clubs Competition
is a terrible thing in some parts, but
when two rival manufacturers get to
competing In the matter of building
public monuments in its midst. Battle
Creek looks on with remarkable resig-

Battle Creek was named from q
creek which infests the vicinity, but

And in this way I began to read

reversed. and In plain English I began
TO see Washington in new lights ana

Washington nearer to my vision than he
had ever seemed before.

infinitely less fanCiful and exaggerated

The story has the charm of novelty In
the manner of its trcntment here. l
thought no one could tell me anything
new and true about Washington until I
read this simple, STRAIGHTFORWARD, and

mistaken. and find at the end that l had
much to learn yet OF our Washington.

fall, this embassy, like one or two
others, has been conducted by a
charge d'affaires and the appointment
and ever-approaching arrival of Mr..
Dumba have been attended with an
amount of preliminary press work
that would do credit to the advent OF
any star" on the theatrical horizon.
On the same principle, even since the
November elections decided the change
of administration, various foreign cap
itals, from London to Peldn, have been
palpitating with anxiety as to exactly
who will replace those incumbents
named by Mr.. Taft. That singular COM
bination of friends, acquaintances, and
intimate enemies, the American colony
has never ceased to speculate as to
the who's and why's and whereforcs
of the distinguished Democrats who
are to be honored with these posts by
President Wilson and our new Secre-
tary of State. But certainly the psyche
logical moment has arrived to emu

In the name OF all those unable to
further endure the nervous tension,
let our scholars or millionaires, our
eminent authors or able fnanciers, be
allowed the opportunity TO coyly whis-
per "Barkis is willin'!" Sound the
glad cyrnbals from the White House

of our classic authorities and moneyed
men, novelists or dramatists, prepare
their steamer trunks and check their
baggage for ''the other side" Paris

sunny little Brussels, can bear no more.
and. after a further course of silent
deliberation, it is to be hoped that the
date usually known as April Fools
Day may be discounted by the an
nouncement that somebody has been
named and everybody has accepted.

The Gold Plate Point of View.

After all is said and done. there are
two ways of looking at the matter Of
providing suitable official residences in
foreign countries for our accredited
representatives in the diplomatic serv-
ice. One is instinct with the Jeffer-
sonian simplicity that would seem to
argue that this great country should be
modestly represented; the other, that
when our Ambassador or Minister dimes
off gold plate in the palaces of mon
archsand ENJOYS, he should not return

Watch and Wait.

The reports OF progress in DR.. Fried
1ranns patients after week or few
weeks. OF his treatment do not sound
like conservative medical practice, and
there are other circumstances which
force the conclusion that it will be
better for people who are hopeful OF
benefit from the turtle serum to
wait. II Dr. friedman has what he
claims. we shall all know it. and if he
has not. then we shall soon be hearing
OF another alleged cure for cancer or
tuberculosis and no more OF Dr. Fried
mann.
Professional jealousy cannot obscure
nor professional ethics affect the real
merits OF the cure. Now the ethics Of
the profession are about as constant
and invariable as the personal char
acter or ability of the members OF the
medical profession. There are all
kinds of both, but that. as Kipling
says. is another story, from the dis
cussion OF which we hope to be able
TO refrain from entering.
Meanwhile, we repeat, the truth will
out, and premature judgment by the
public will do the public less harm if
it is against DR.. friedman, than if in
his favor
The situation created by Dr.. Fried
mann is sufficiently serious in its direct
effects without going into the indirect
effects of his claims; but the matter
has been OF so urgent character that
some of its aspects have escaped no
tice. The public does not appreciate
the pressure that has been brought to
bear upon the Public Health Service
TO give an immediate decision on a sub
ject upon which no professional man
will stake his professional reputation
after six months investigation.

Woe!

The flooding OF Johnstown, the tidal
wave at Galveston. the sinking OF the
Titanic. disasters that caused the world
to 60 into mourning are now a matter
of historv. Today there are thousands
OF anxious homes, millions OF anxious
people, who are waiting almost with
bated breath for detailed and authentic
news from our stricken sister States.
Chaos reigns supreme in the flooded
districts; parents are seeking their
children. husbands their wives; every
one is fighting either for himself or for
some loved one The souls of all are
sorely tried. and to many 1t must
seem a. though the end OF the world
had come.
1t +, d terrible test of Christian man
hood and womanhood Whatever the
result there will be grief and walling,
want ard misery Nothing can. be
done to help the bereaved ones. They
must suffer. and suffer in silence, for
while the world offers sympathy the
heart psngs still exist, in many IN
stance, even the poor consolation OF
knowing where the departed loved ones
are in their last sleeping place being
denied.
Woe is me. The blackness OF night
has settled upon what was once happy
and prosperous community. lime is
the only healer. Possibly i'll the dim
future some good will result from the
awful calamity, but The Washington
Herald cannot see how or where.
In the meantime we should open our
purse strings as wide as we have open
ed our hearts and do all that IS pos
sible to do TO alleviate the suftcrlngs
OF those who are left. 1t is little that
can be done. but that little should and
must be done promptly.
II has also placed grave response
biltv upon the government. One that
cannot be ignored. Johnstowns terri
bic warning went unheeded. Ohio's
should awaken Congress. Every dam
and every reservoir in the United
States should be inspected by govern
Inent experts; every possible precau-
ton should be taken. to prevent repe-
tition as far as human agency can go
OF the --latest disaster.
