WE learn this week from good authority
that there will be no democratic conven-
ton called or held. 1t seems dissatisfaction
on many sources is keenly felt. Should
this report be true, which we have every
reason to believe it is, it means split in
the ranks of democracy in this district and
the old guard will be shattered. Don't get
peeved boys on the matter of few appoint
ments which may not of been just right or
rather an oversight. Show your tru. worth
as loyal democrat and stand by the colors.
We all make mistakes at times. Forget
the past and cement the future. We can i'll
afford at this time Of the day to lay down,
bpt instead be up and doing. Remember
always that for years past it has bee i hard
struggle and when victory did perch on the
standard everybody could not get plum.
And whether the appointments were ri, hit
or right, don't become a mugwump, stay
with the party and help keep up the hit.
Forget the past and look to the future (.

No Real Cure Possible From
any of the Patent Remedies
Investigated by govern
ment Scientists.

After investigating under the Food
and Drugs Act, large number of prep
arations advertised as consumption
cures, the department of agriculture
has not been able to discover any that
can in any sense be regarded as
cures" for tuberculosis. Some con-
tain drugs that may at times afford
some temporary relief from the dis
tressing symptoms of the disease, but
this is all. Since the passage Of fed
eral legislation prohibiting the ship
ment in interstate commerce Of medic
inal preparations for which false and
fraudulent claims are made, there has
been marked tendency to label these
preparations remedies" instead OF
cures" or infallible cures" as they
used to be called. In many cases, how
ever, they can not even be regarded as
remedies.

SCARCITY OF FOOD
IN WINTER CAUSES
MIGRATION OF BIRDS
Walter Ratliff Says Climate
Fails to Account for Move
ments of Songsters in Fall
and Spring.

Not inability to Withstand cold tenn
perature. but the impossibility to find
food in the snow covered countries,
causes birds to migrate south each
fall, according to Walter Ratliff, local
ornathologist who has been taking
part In the government bird habits
study.
Birds 60 south where there is an
abundance of food and if they are
trained. to stay in the north by plenti-
full supplies of food, they would not
leave" Mr.. Ratliff said. They return
for the summer again for the same
reason. The approach OF breeding
time in the spring means that there
will be many more birds sharing the
food and If they did not spread out
over the country, the south or winter
quarters would be overcrowded.
I'm South America there are COM
paratively few feathered inhabitants
migrate. In fact most of the birds
are in the warm regions of the CONT
nent or in places where the tempera-
ture Is always mild and does not vary
much.
1.-THE fact that the routes OF mi
grafton are long and complex does not
mean that these routes were so In the
beginning. In the early ages, flight
was probably short, easily accomp-
plished, and comparatively free from
danger Each frightening of the
course was adopted permanently only
after experience through many gen.
erations had proved it's advantages.
There are some who argue that
love OF birthplace Is the impulse which
causes spring migration, and these call
attention to the seeming impotence
of the earliest arrivals. Ducks and
geese push northward with the begin
nings Of open water 80 early, so far.
and so fast that many are caught by
late storms and wander disconsolately
over frozen ponds and rivers. PREFER
ing to risk starvation rather than to
retreat. The purple martins often
arrive at their nesting boxes so pre-
maturely that the coy home becomes
a tomb, II sleet storm sweeps their
winged food from the air. The blue
birds CHEEKY MARBLE we welcome as a
harbinger of spring, often only to find
later a lifeless body in some shed or
outbuilding where the bird sought
shelter rather than return to the sunny
land so recently left.

lieve that the information which he
furnishes in reply to these questions
will be carefully considered before any
medicine Is prescribed for him, though
every physician knows that an accur-
ate diagnosis cannot possibly be made
IN this way. AS matter Of fact none
is attempted and the degree Of atten-
ton which theso individual reports re-
cetve can be measured by the fact that
cases have come under the observation
Of the department in which mail order
concerns doing business OF this kind
day.
After the patient has submitted his
diagnosis report" he is urged to pur-
chase supply of the medicine If he
does SO, he Is then urged to purchase
more. If he states that he has exper-
fenced no beneficial effects he is told
that he has not taken enough. and this
process is likely to continue until the
limits Of his credulity have been
reached. II, on the other hand, he de-
ctdes at the beginning not to purchase
the medicine, 1t is likely to be offered
to him at excessively lower prices un-
til he is at last induced to believe that
he cannot afford to ignore such a bar
gain. This is carried to such an ex.
tent that treatment" the original
price OF which Is SIS, may be offered
at the end of six months for $3.50.
AS matter of fact the successful
treatment of tuberculosis requires
much more than the mere giving of
medicine and, moreover. what will
help one case will not necessarily help
another. Claims that are absolutely
unwarranted are no longer permitted
on the labels of medicines shipped In
interstate commerce, but the word
ing may be such as to convey a mis-
leading impression without the use of
absolute statements. Thus these prep
.arations continue to find a sale despite
the TACT that little trouble on the
part OF the prospective purchaser will
reveal their worthlessness.

for industrial corporations that do an
interstate business. Many sugges-
lions have been made that the New
lands-Erdman act be extended to give
the present board, whose jurisdiction
is now limited to railroads, power
over all corporations in the inter-
state field.
In this connection George W. Per-
kins, who resumed the stand today,
has told the commission that federal
incorporation of all large combina-
tons is absolutely necessary. With
federal incorporation he takes the pO-
sition that a national mediation board
would be easy of creation.
