We're going to have good roads be-

ucated at Ames and the new farmers
will see to that. 1t is astonishing how
soon they grow up. The lad of eight

three years isn't long time. Iowa is
less than a long lifetime from the on

in the state where you can get out OF
sound, sight and smell of an automobile.

grandfather put up against the new
house with bathroom and furnace.
Grandfather was honest enough about
it too. He couldn't see it that way.
Grandfather hated to spend the money
for a tub and plumbing when real
man could take washtub and scour
himself in the barn. There was some
thing effeminate about grown man
getting up, pulling chain and having
heat in a jiffy when granddad recalled
whiting shavings to start fire in the
cookstove on a midwinter morning with
goose pimples standing out on his legs
like brass knobs on bull dogs collar.
However, after the furnace was in

Appendicitis is a lineal descendant
OF the old-fa shioned stomach che,
having the same clutch action and
tout ensemble. 1t has been patented
by the medical profession in every
state in the Union, one attack being
worth more to the average doctor
that an epidemic Of the prehensile
grip. .
Appendicitis is caused by the rest
less behavior of a small. carefully
concealed object called the appendix.
The identity, location and personal
habits Of the appendix were not known
to the medical profession until a. few
years ago, when an earnest homeo-
path physician ran into it while hunt
ing something else. He discovered
that by removing the appendix he
could relieve the patient Of equal
amounts of pain and money, which
was one Of the most expensive dis
coveries ever made. From this hum
BILE beginning has sprung that great
industry which makes it cost more to
possess a stomach ache than 1t does
TO keep up a second hand touring car.
Appendicitis is very abrupt and
treacherous disease. and when cor
rectly diagnosed always leduS up "
a $3.50 operation. In fact. modern
surgery relies upon appendicitis as
harbinger with the accent on the
bling. The first few attempts to cure
the disease were crude efforts, and
many a patient is now going about in
good health carrying with him to his
daily work two or three surgical In
struments which were hurriedly over
looked. Physicians generally. how
ever, found that it was poor bargain
to remove an appendix and leave
valuable stethascope in its place so now
the practice has been largely aban-
doned.
Appendicitis is preceded by dis
contented feeling at the belt line,
causing the patient to regret having
eaten anything that week. In some

1t is not often that a commission ap-
pointed TO spend given sum Of pub
lie money turns any of it back to the
public treasury consequently the Pam
ama-Pacific exposition commission is
entitled to due credit for the return Of
s14,176 unexpended out Of an appro-
priaton Of $4,000 entrusted to its care.
Had the legislature required the Iowa
building to have been erected within
the appropriation Of $4,000 it could
easily have been done and Iowa's rep
resentation at San Francisco would not
have suffered by the limitation.
Since the United Taxpayers League
learned that the state highway COM

anything no; so much has been heard
a bout abolishing the commission. The
automobile owners of Iowa pay for the
highway commission and they seem to
be satisfied.

VALLEY FORGE ANo BROWNSVILLE.

some or the Iowa boys down at
Brownsville bucked against drill the
other day and demanded water that
human beings could drink. 1t appears
that they had just made a long hike
on hot chemically treated and dis
tasteful water and agreed to hold out
on the drill until they made their
protest against such supply clear and
positive. They went out after a while
and drilled. The commanding officer
lectured them on their duty, talked
to them about the sufferings of the
continentals al Valley Forge and such
things but it is not of evidence that
historical references OF that character
got far with the boys. According to
the correspondence the fellows had to
buy decent water if they had il to
drink. Prices ran as high as IL cents
a gallon. The enlisted men secured
the country with canteens and pals
looking for water fit to drink Some
fellows hiked three miles for water
for sick comrades. Very naturally the
boys were peevish.
1t has been weeks since the govern
ment knew that the men We're to be
camped there The report says char
coal filters are being constructed. But
had they been laps or Germans or
soldiers Of practically any other nation
on earth the filters would have been
there and the water supply insured
under the midsummer sun in the Rio
Grande country. So it should have
been at Brownsville.
That Valley Forge stuff is ridiculous
ing nlilitlamen probably knew as much
or more of United States history
than the officer They had certainly
shown as much patriotism when they
came freely to the border leaving be-
hind business and salaries and wages
for a stipend of s15 month for which
common sense and an understanding
of what may and should be done for
their comfort and health. Iowans
are acclaimed the finest body Of troops
on the border, They know No
wonder they were disguised at incom-
potency or neglect or both.
Valley Forge, nothing. Under the
desperate circumstances of Valley
Forge those are the very kind and
charact of men who would stick and
murInur not. They are the best SOL
der material in the world because
they have brains and purpose as we'll
as courage.
There is no reason why good water
fit to drink should not be in adequate
supply for the troops on the border, no
reason that would be given an in
stants hearing or the slightest at
tention by the Japs, French or Ger
mans. A government that prides it
self on its ability to build a Panama
to a filter for watering few thousand
soldiers. Imagine what Hinderberg
or Joffre would do to the department
that failed in so essential a respect
as a scant water supply.
The guard condemned by regular
officers has the best Of it. 1t seems
to be altogether too good a body of
men TO be entrusted to careless or in
competent commanders.
