After ALL" says a bulletin
from the State Board of Health
good health is largely a matter
of what goes into the stomach.
If a person eats heavily of rich,
greasy concentrated foods, such
as fried meats, rich pastries, sog-
gy, underdone breads he will
soon find himself seeking re.
lief from headache, sluggishness.
constipation, and billiousl rss,
and the patent medicine route
will be the way he will likely
choose. Pills, purgatives and
most any patent medicines will
find a hearty welcome and be-
come a warm friend to persons
who so poison themselves. The
trouble arising from eating food
of this kind is that it ferments
in the stomach, throws off pois-
ons and creates a condition
which calls for a stronger poison
in the form of medicine to throw
off the food poison. The patent
medicine habit is acquired
and the digestive organs of the
stomach are wrecked and no
longer perform their natural
functions.
ION the other hand, whoever
eats freely of fruits, vegetables.
milk, butter, salads, cereals and
nuts foods prepared by nature
for man not only avoids digest
i've troubles but he is spared the
evil effects of food poisons, such
as rheumatism, headaches, slug
gishness, and biliousness. He al
so escapes the patent medicine
habit. He eats according to
natures demand and no med
icine is required as an after
dose. ("

Marks Advice

When Mark Twain, in his ear
ly days was editor of a Missouri
paper, a superstitious SUBJ
scriber wrote to him saying that
he had found spider in his
paper, and asking him whether
that was good luck or bad luck.
The humorist printed the follow
ing answer:
"Old Subscriber: Finding a
spider in your paper was Meth
err good luck nor bad luck for
you. The spider was merely
looking over your paper to see
which merchant is not advertis-
ing so that he can go to that
store, spin his web across the
door, and lead a life of undisturb-
ed peace ever afterWard.

from the mouth Of a patriot by
the name of Norris, a senator of
the United States; and yet some
members of the senate are given
to wondering why that body has
declined in the estimation of the
public. Senator Norris knows
perfectly we'll that the war de-
partment has been shifting the
units making up the national
guard contingent on the border
for the double purpose of giving
all the guardsmen some training
in camp life under approximate
ly war conditions, and to avoid
throwing the entire burden of
the defense of the border on the
militia from a few states. Eth
err reason alone would have justi-
fed the policy being pursued;
combined, they make that policy
imperative.
And yet, quite clearly aware
that the policy is an admirable
one, this senator Of the United
States deliberately tries to make
it appear that the war depart
ment is allowing the railroads to
graft on the taxpayers, because,
forsooth, the civilian head of the
war department happens to be-
long to the political party to
which Senator Norris is opposed.
The effect, of course is to raise
in the intelligent mind the ques-
ton as to whether Senator Nor
ris' party is so bankrupt of real
argument as to be compelled to
resort to piffle; and why sena-
tor of the United States cannot
see that is more than we can say.

OUR RIVER AND HARB0R POLICY
II Ought to Be Put on a Business Basis

Formerly Senator From Ohio

/, has always been the ambition
OF those interested in the work

the results secured in any way
compensate for the necessary eN-
penditures. We must not neglect
those rivers and harbors which de-
serve Improvement because OF the
errors of the past.
For example. many of our tidal
rivers. connecting large cities with
the ocean. boast an enormous
traffic and their channels can be
widened and deepened at a -ela-
lively small cost. Money invested
in such improvements will pay
excellent dividends in the future
Just as II has in the past. Our large
harbOrs constitute the portals OF
the nation through which passes
our enormous foreign commerce.
and money expended on them has
always been an excellent invest
ment. Moreover. they are OF ma
tional Importance and they affect
the welfare of the entire nation
We can also well improve many
OF our rivers which flow through
comparatively level country where
the soil is non-alluyial and where
there already exists a fair amount
OF commerce which r. likely TO be
maintained or increased To such
rivers We should add also those
where the main object is food pre-
Nention and the expenditures OF
the government are intended for
the promotion of navigation.
Unfortunately in the past money
which was needed for the i'm
provement OF some OF our most
important harbors and tidal rivers
has been expended 10 no real avail
upon improvements which have
proven OF no value TO the country.
The mere existence OF water does
not OF itself produce commerce on
river That elemental fact
should be kept in mind by those
who have advocated spending
large sums of money upon every
intercourse wherever found.
The people of this country will
approve expenditures for rivers
and harbOrs which are national in
their Importance when IL can be
shown that the benefits are com
mensurate with the cost. How
ever, they have been so aroused
by the folly of many Of our so
called river improvements that I'M
less the mistakes of the past are

We must treat river and harbor
