The SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING DAsNEY.

1t has now been some time SINCE the
Maine liar sighted a submarine and
since the U-boat problem has been
solved.
Not only are food pirates over
charging the people, but they are Civ
ing them underweight, as proved by
the recent spaghetti seizures.
Now that the fans have been turn
ed off in the Mississippi legislature,
as a measure of economy, a lot of
hill billy statesmen have been brought
to realize the horrors of war.
One reason why the senate is try
ing to discredit the food plan is that
Hoover is serving without pay and
the men who fritter away the peoples
time for large salaries are afraid the
example may spread.
Winston Churchill is back in the
ring with him drag-the-German-fleet-
Out-hke-rates talk. He and that false
alarm of New York who said the
U-boat menace was definitely elimi-
mated, would make a good comedy
team on the big time.
Even though the war has raised the
price of Canarios we think our house
hold will manage to pull through
but our grocer has us worried when
he charges eight cents for Uneeda
lunch waters that are market a
nickel.
Pensacola sand, if it gets in a per
sons shoe, will bring him back, no
| matter how far he goes; but when we
! see the loads that some horses are
forced to drag through the sand we
doubt seriously if the magic has any
equine influence.
To the Kentucky man who bought a
| liberty bond with buffalo nickelz
| great credit is due because of his in
gcnuity in discovering a use for q
coin which the rising prices have al
most rendered Oboslete.
In England when the boys held
back from volunteering, the gilrs pin
ned white feathers to their coats. A
similar procedure here would fill our
militia company and send so many
recruits to the army and navy that

Eighty-hrst Day of America in the War
THE Red Gross SOCIETY,".

In an age charged With Delng SeIhSn,
sordid and commercial, there has grown
up and undeveloped the greatest organi-
zation for unselfsh service the world has
ever seen-the American Red Cross. The
growth of the Red Cross Society is evi-
dence not to be contrOverted that the spirit
Of service is strong in the hearts of the
people today. The work of the society de
n1onstrates that there are thousands who
are willing to devote their services to
humanity, and the support given them by
voluntary contributions shows that there
are hundreds of thousands more who are
willing to devote portion of their means
to the alienation of suffering.
The activities of the Red Cross always
have been generously supported by the
American public, but only since 'our own"
soldiers began to take place in the
trenches alongside our allies has this sup
port become bountiful. It is the suffering
and comfort of the men from "our own
neighbOrhoods" as we'll as the physical
needs of Our allies for which the Red Cross
must now mobilize. The result-a greater
and more imperative duty now Confronts
the givers in AmericaA
No appeal to the heart of the Ameri-
can people has ever been unanswered. Let
one part of the world be visited by some
calamity like the Mount Pelee and Italian
earthquake, China foods the jamestown
food, the San Francisco earthquake, or any
greater or lesser calamity, and the response
from the nation is immediate and generous
to degree. The services of the American
Red Cross Society to bth sides in the BOer
war and in other wars was liberal and sac
rifcing. .Fresher in Our minds is the work
the American unit has been doing in Europe
in the last three years, especially the relief
given the Belgian population.
To meet this new and greatly enlarged
idemand-this demand that has the added
force of patriotism and a duty we owe our
own soldiers-there has been a campaign
to raise $1OOOOOOO0 for the Red Cross
work. The campaign has been conducted
with vigor and earnestness that insured
success. 1t was participated in by all
classes of Americans, from the president
of the nation down to the smallest boy
scout, and the women of the nation were
particularly active,
Red Cross Week. will not be the only
time in which one can assist the work of
the society. Every week should be a Red
Cross week with those who are able to con
tribute to the Wark of this greatest agency
of mercy. Its work is pressing and will
continue a long time. 1t needs continued
support and will not appeal in vain to a
people as generous as the American nation.

REAL TREASON.

That the cry of treason should have been
raised against a silly woman for holding,
in front Of the White House, banner, the
very absurdjty Of whose inscription is the
hest proof Of its harmlessness, is only less
remarkable than that Congressman Mel
son. of Wisconsin, should escape entirely
when he floods the country with a violent
denunciation our entry into the war, and
does it under the congressional frank. too!
We refer to his four-line speech which
introduces an eight-page extract from La
Folettes Nagzine.
This effusion, which expresses bitter op-
position to Our entering the war. may not
ave been treason when it was first uttered.

Corn meal is a great deal coarser than
BRAN yet corn bread is one of the most de-
sirable foods human beings could have.
Whole wheat flour, says medical science, is
best for the human system. The bran and
shorts which the above letter says are too
coarse for man S digestive organs, are nee
cssary for his physical well being.
But aside from the WhOIes0meness lost,
extracting the bran and shorts simply turns
part Of the crop into a bv-Dr0duct that is
worth only half as much as the whole ar
tlCle. A pound of shorts is the equivalent
of pound of flour, though it sells for iftv
per cent less. Is this destruction of wealth
an economical way to feed a horse?
Take the case Of rice. The wholesome
ness Of rice is cut almost in half bv the pol
ishing process. True, rice bran is fed to
hogs, but rice sells for ten cents a pound
and rice bran for only two cents. Are not

dustries?
In the case of oats, it is our understand
ing that the milling process removes only
the hard external covering, which can no
more be assimilated by horses than by
human beings.
But the different brans are not true by
products, like cotton seed meal, the manu-
tacture Of which does not lessen the cotton
crop in the Ieast-the brans. are part of the
original product, whose food value their
extraction lowers.

When man is buying a new auto

quires rather careful thought as to its
wearing qualities, value and the way
1t will combine with the rest of his

Men folks don't even settle down
to new brand of cigars just because
they like their color or the red and

But when 1t comes to choosing a

Is! When he was ten he stood in front

which makes your heart so pit-a-pat.
Here are some of the things it is
worth your while to consider quietly
and calmly when you find yourself
growing seriously interested in a girl;
her health, first of ALL for an invalid
wife is handicap and a discourage
ment to many man. while in another
sort she rouses gentle tenderness.
Congeniality, reliability, common
sense and sweetness of disposition are
the friendly elements that ought to
enter into happy marriage. IL you
and your wife enjoy the same things
and you feel sure that she is a loyal
soul on whose good judgment yoI can
rely and of whose sunshiny sweetness
you are sure, running along in double
harness will be very comfortable
affair.
A woman who has tact, education,
domestic qualities and the ability to
economize consistently will make the
business end of a marriage successful
Cleverness, vivacity, accomplish
ments and beauty are very charming.
They keep you stimulated and make
you proud to show your wife off to
your friends, but they do not total up
to grand average in any way equal
to those produced by the friendly or
practical qualities.
And on the emotional side you
want a girl of warm and generous
feelings, a girl who is gracious to old
er people, whose eyes are soft when
they look at children and who seems
fairly. aglow with tenderness when she
speaks of her mother or father (if
that mother or father is the fine and
worthy sort).
There is no way in which a man
can better gauge a girls capability
for affection than by her attitude to-
ward the suffering and helpless and
by her responsiveness to his discour-
aged moments Love means sacrifice
and the man who would choose for a
wife woman who will be sweetheart,
as well as friend and helpmate. must
choose with mind, as we'll as with
heart and eyes.
He must select a responsive yet
well-balanced and seH-respecting girl
-one who Is happy to walk with him
in green fields and wko needs neither |
moonlight nor the glow of shaded |
lamps to make her turn to him a face |
aiight with tenderness.
