LIBERAL PEOPLE
PRAISE SIMPLE MIXTURE

Many In Liberal praise the simple
mixture of buckthorn bark, glycer-
inc, etc., known as Adler-i-ka. This
remedy is the most THOROUGH
bowel cleanser ever sold, being even
used successfully in appendicitis.
ONE SPOONFUL relieves almost
ANY CASE of constipation, sour or
gassy stomach. ONE MINUTE after
you take 1t the gases rumble and
pass out. Adler-i-ka cannot grippe
and the INSTANT action is surpris-
ing.

School Board Problems Ahead.

II is we'll that public attention is being di-
rected to the choice at the coming election of
eight members Of the school board, or two-thrds
OF the total membership. as required by the new
law. Some goodfpeople are proposing Slate"
although no one seems willing to tell how and
why the SLATE" was projected. The slate can
didates seem for the most part to measure up to
requirements, although there are also others not
on the slate running who are as well, if not bet
ter, equipped. What should be emphasized, how
ever is the imperative necessity for men on the
school board who will not only bring to the posi-
ton intelligence and capacity, but will also give
the requisite time.
The school board has a pretentious building
program under way, which is yet to be carried
to completion, in which many intricate questions
are involved. More important still is the con-
tngency that, by Nebraska going dry, revenue
OF $3s0,000, now derived from license money will
be taken away. and either retrenchment must be
forced on wholesale scale or other sources of
revenue substituted to make up the shortage.
The candidates, whether running on SLATE"
of on no slate, should realize what is ahead and
the taxpaying public should also, in considering
the different candidates, gauge them to the test
Of ability to grapple with these problems.

Against Compulsory Medical
INSPECTION.

Omaha, Oct. Ito the Editor of
The Bee: Yesterdays paper contained
the report of the death of little
child on the operating table in the
office of a local physician. following
the administration Of an anaesthetic
and the removal of the boys tonsils.
This tragedy, which one Of the ply
sicians involved is quoted as saying
was simply one of the certain per-
centage of fatalities under anaesthetic
which can neither be explained nor
avoided" should be lesson to the
citizens of Omaha.
During the last year there has been
considerable activity on the part OF
the medical profession to secure COM
pulsory medical inspection of school
children. Quite frequently we hear 1t
limited that law should be enacted
giving local health boards more au-
thority along those lines.
( Compulsory medical inspection Is
only the first step. In places where
the medical profession has been sue
cessful in putting the system into eff
feet the next step has been compul-
sorry compliance with the recommen-
dations of the medical inspector. In
one eastern city the Board of Health
sued the parents of child because
they refused to obey the order to have
his tonsis removed, and the court
ordered them to have the operation
performed. ".... s'...'
Parents of Omaha, do you want to
risk having q child lone of the GER

"You Can't Repeal Surrender"

Charles Evans Hughes has made an answer
to another OF the hecklers' questions in a way
that should smash all but the purblind defenders
Of the Adamson law. you can't repeal sur
render" is his reply when asked if he would try
to secure the repeal OF that law. Whatever Of
harm this law will accomplish will have been
worked long before Mr. Hughes can take Office
if elected. Its greatest harm was done when it
was passed under duress when the congress and
the president surrendered all the power Of de-
liberate government and enacted law under
the dictation Of small group Of men, who were
holding stop-watch and threatening dire con-
sequences i their demands were not Immediately
complied with
If one group of men can thus hold up the
government OF great nation, what is to prevent
another group from likewise adopting the tactics
Of the footpad, and how long will our government
continue when it is thus placed at the mercy of
groups each bent on its own selfish design, with
no regard to the general wefarei "You can't
repeal surrender" any more than Appomattox
or Sedan can be undone, but you can provide
against repetition.

Forty-one Billions of Moonshine.

Self-decepton Is the most pitiable form of
delusion; the man who spends his time lying to
himself is silly beyond conception And that is
the predicament of the democratic leaders just
now, or they are deliberately trying to deceive
the people BY their persistent assertion that the
wealth Of the United States has been increased
forty-one billions Of dollars during the three
years Of Woodrow Wilson's term. Any increase
in the general wealth of the United States must
have come within the last fifteen months for
during the hrst.year and half Of Nh Wilson's
term, values we're going down instead Of up.
Dhrng forty years Of the steadest and great
est growth and development the world ever wit
messed the material wealth of the United States
increased at the rate of approximately two and
one-half billions Of dollars annually. To accept
the present democratic estimate, our wealth has
been growing at the rate of more than two and
one-half billions monthly, or twelve times the
average rate of increase during period OF con-
structon and extension Of enterprise unequalled
in the worlds history. This is the veriest moon
shine and recalls the days OF Laws Mississippi
Bubble" in France. or the tulip craze in Holland,
and may end in the same sort of crash unless
prudence supplants the madness of folly into
which the democratic inAationists would lead the
country.
Prices have gone up, and are going higher
every day, but the inflated figures, due to the
abnormal and uncertain demand of the European
war do not constitute wealth, Democratic lead
ers are making the parade to divert attention
from their neglected promise to decrease the cost
Of living. The wage worker knows how much
his wealth has increased under Wilson, and it
will be pretty hard to convince him he has been
so tremendously benefited in the material things
of life.

South Side, Omaha, Oct. 1910 the
Editor of The Bee: In reading your
account of the great Hughes meeting
last night, l noted that you said the
electric wires that fell onto me and
oilers broke loose and fell.
Two different men said they saw
some boys cutting the wires and a
good many think it was the trick Of
some one to put out the lights and
break up the meeting in that way.
Such tricks have been resorted to be-
fore and 1t seems to me that 1t Is a
pretty low-down trick.
The wires when they fell cut my,
forehead and nose, and I suppose I
am the only man in Omaha who can
say he has shed blood in the cause Of
our next president Hughes, Putting
out the lights in the convention hall
of the republican national convention
at Cincinnati in 1875 caused the
defeat of our illustrious ehieftain,
James c. Blaine for the nomination
to the presidency and changed the
history of the nation greatly. 1t was a
trick Of the enemies of James G.
Blaine. and Is held in contempt even
today by the old-time supporters of
one of the greatest men our country
and the republican party have pro-
duced. 1t might be well to investi-
gate to find out what caused those
heavy wires to fall just as Governor
Hughes began his address.

The discussion aroused among the medical
fraternity by the suggestion OF one OF its mem
bers that physicians should all be paid by the
state for the prevention OF disease instead of by
individuals Tor trying to cure it, compels the
thought that there exists one disease which their
utmost efforts are unable to eradicate.
From the time Hppocrates propounded the
vow OF self-abnegatioh TO his acoiytes every
branch Of the profession, chemist, physicist and
hygenist, has bent its effort to COMBAT fhe ills
affecting mankind One by one the dread dis
eases, smallpox, diphtheria, typhoid and others
have given way before their attacks, and hope is
held out that tuberculosis and cancer may soon
be overcome
Everybody knows how zealously physicians
have labored Tor both the cure and prevention OF
disease Few, unfortunately, but have occasion to
remember how their own physicians have re-
sponded to the call OF duty, leaving warm beds
to face winter snow and winds TO minister to
suffering; how tendcrly they have welcomed new
corners into the world, or how sympatnetically
they have performed the last possible service for
for those VINO were leaving.
The one disease most battling to their skill
has been an insidious one, hard to diagnose, and
gripping the patients oftenest when all danger
seemed past. Its symptoms are characterized
BY the appearance OF nervousness an unwilling
ness to talk of them to the physician, and fire.
quently an aversion even to his presence. Some
cases seem to be accompanied, however, by no
more serious symptom than acute aphasia.
Payanaemia. or structure of the pocketbook
is the disease in mind. II sometimes develops
into deadbeatorhoea, for which there is no hope
or cure. For payanaemia there is some hope
Many reasonably honest people defer their pay
ments Of doctors bills unreasonably because he
doesn't press them. Even though he may be. hard
up for money used TO purchase medicines for his
patients, he usually manages to worry along
somehow without disturbing their esaatimity by
complaint of their negligence, other than may be
implied by mailing occasionally formal state
ment Of account
While the doctors are threshing out the mat
ter Of state subsdization the people can do much
TO reduce the inroads of this disease by looking
