Calmar Boy Run Over by Auto.

Last Saturday night at the conclu-
sion of the band concert, Charles
Fisher, aged years, while playing
on the square was knocked down by
Rob Heuser's automobile, driven by
a son of Mr.. Heuser, and the front
wheel passed over the lads leg and
broke the bone between the knee and
hip.
The lad took his misfortune brave
ly and is doing as we'll as can be ex-
pected.
No blame is attached to the driver
as the car was barely moving and it
was stopped before the hind wheel
reached the PROSTATE boy. The little
fellow had lit a fire cracker and
stepped backward quickly right
against the car, so it was practically
voidable.-Calmar Courier.

CONTROL OF APPETITE

The United States public health

son of it's ameliorating functions
through it's efforts to teach control OF
appetite. the ungoverned indulgence
of which is as fatal today as 1t was
to the wild animals Of prehistoric
times that were trapped in the asphalt
lakes Of California, whose bones are
now being excavated by scientists,
all victims OF indiscreet appetite. SO
today over-indulgence Of the human
appetite finds the victim in trap he
can no more escape from than could
the enmeshed wild animals thousands
of years ago in California.
In rejecting on the modern abuses
of our boosted civilization the health
service bulletin points out that one OF
the great elements in maintaining
health is the regulation of the bodily
intake to meet the appetite. The
man who labors in the open air needs
more nourishment than be who sits
cooped in an office all day long. Give
the sedentary worker the appetite Of
the day laborer and il that appetite be

have today a precarious form Of pro.
lection resulting from the war in Eu-
rope, but 1t is not such protection as
will encourage any conservative bus
mess man to invest in permanent
productive enterprise. The sort OF
protection We have today merely In
duces men to establish mushroom In
dustries which depend upon the war
and which they expect to abandon
when the war is over. This unsound
and temporary form Of protection Will
not establish industries of such per-
manent character as to create con-
tinuous competition in the production
of commodities for domestic consump-
ton.
1t Is important, therefore, that we
reflect upon the fact that free trade
not only diminished employment but
did not reduce the cost Of living. and
also that by encourasire home pro-
duction a protective tariff permanent
ly increases home competition. and,
as consequence, reduces both the
actual aud tho relative price which
the consumer must pay.

MAKING HAY IN SUNSHINE

PreS1dent w llSOn eVlQent1y DelleFeo
It Is better to make all the Legislative
hay he can while Democratic domi.
nance shines in the present Congress.
The control Of the next House Of Re
representatives. is claimed by both the
Democrats. and the Republicans. MI
'nority Leader Mann is emphatic In
his declaration that the Republicans
will be in the lead; while Represen-
tative Doremus Of Michigan, chair
man of the Democratic Congressional
Committee, is equally positive that
his party will hold the whip hand.
The real power Of control, however,
will rest with neither, and the little
group OF Independents will be able
to sway the decisions Of the House at
their will whenever the. members d.
vide along the lines of partisan cleaV-
age. Moreover. ability to organize

90 to one party or the other through
the adherence OF these independents,
who might, with equal ease. immedi-
ately thereafter refuse to assist IN
the passage of legislation which bore
too conspicuous a party label.
Some Democrats have affected to
believe that all such difficulties can
be resolved by free use of patron
age, which they look to the President
to dispense. But the President him
self is evidently not so sure. 1t may
be that he is already feeling the pres
sure from deserving Democrats"
who will be reseutful If the offices
and other favors are to 90 to the
rank outsiders. At any rate. he Is
trying to make it possible to carry
through his plans for legislation be-
tween now and the fourth OF March;
and he is showing an unwonted
amount OF consideration for the
active men on the floor Of Congress
to whom he looks for practical assist
ancc.
