PARKS SCORE
 BIG ADVANTAGE
Nearly Half a Million Per sons Visited Our National
 Parks Last Season

If any one doubts the success of Of the movement to develop our na- ftonal parks, he has only to examine the record for the season just passed. Thsro were people, many thousands of them, who predicted that the i'm 1nense forward stride of national parks popularity which began in 1915 would lapse into a limp with the com ing of the first war summer. Some of these thousands who doubted whether the national parks would even be opened.
 The season of 1917 registered an increase in national parks patronage more than thirty-six per cent in ad- vance of the season of 1916. In num- bers, 4sT,36S persons visited our na- donaI parks this last season as against 85e, ,006 the season before, itself a rec ord season In numbers, the increas- cd patronage amounted to 129,362 persona. And this in war summer with the nations eyes fixed intently upon the eastern trenches!
 Tt looks to me-" said one railroad official voicing an opinion generally shared, "that the people came to the conclusion that it was pretty good summer business to store up a lot of strength and courage against the hard strain of winter, and that they picked the National Parks as the best place in the world to do it. They're walk ing up to their national parks, all right"
 Growing public interest in the plan of the Department of the Interior foz the enlargement of the Sequoi Nation al Park undoubtedly had much to dc with last summers enormous increase in the patronage of this fascinating reservation on the west slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in central California. This increase amounted to more than seventy-two per cent of the attendance the year before; and last years attendance, be it noted was an increase of forty per cent over the figures of the exposition year preceding.
 Last summers increase consisted largely of campers in and near the Giant Forest. Many of them remain. cd for weeks, some all summer, muct to the profit of the local bushes: channels through which they pur. chased their supplies.

INDUSTRIAL AND
 FINANCIAL COORDINATION

The turn of events in Europe has undoubtedly impressed upon the peo- pie of this country the necessity of preparing for a long conflict. The end is not in sight, and it will be the part of wisdom for the United States to lay it's plans for participation upon basis which can be maintained inde- finitely. The fuH powers of the coun- try cannot be exerted immediately, for 1t is only by degrees that the peo- pie can be brought to understand the part which as individuals they are required to play. They have to be educated to the war task. They have to learn that a great war, calling up- on this country for eighteen or twen- ty billions a year, cannot be carried on by the government alone, in Q purely official capacity, without in- terfering with the business or pleas ures of the people.
 It is natural for the people to go along in their accustomed ways, try ing to do business as usual and live as usual, until they are shown what the government wants of them. It is for the government to coordinate the productive powers of the country and direct them into the channels where they will count for most. There is general appreciation of the fact that it is a stupendous task to raise twen- ty billion dollars in a year, but the public is slow in grasping the fact that it Is also a 5tupendous task for the government to get twenty billion dollars worth of work done in a year. II 1A lsimDlified if the public could see clearly that if the government is to take over labor and materials to this extent, individuals must curtail theiy demands to approximately the same extent, and that when they do this they will have the money to buy the government bonds.
 This curtailment of private expen-
 ditures will be most effectively brought about by having the govern ment exercise it's priority rights to such essentials as labor, coal, mater ials and transportation. If there is not coal enough to go around it is clearly proper for the government to determine what industries shall go without, and as it does so public ex- penditures in those lines will be auto matically curbed. If steel is not avail able for automobiles the public per force will not buy autonobtles, and

 DISEASELE1SS SYMPTOMS: There are two very serious conditions with which the doctor has to contend and it is sometimes difficult to determine which is the most serious and diff cult to combat
 The condition most dangerous for the patient is the symptomless disease while the most aggravating to the physician is the diseaseless symptoms. To illustrate what I mean: MT. A, prominent business man in the prime of life, splendid appearing specimen of physical manhood, works hard in his office many hours daily and some- times far into the night, possibly at tends 8 banquet or dinner party sev- era1 nights each week. Takes coffee, little wine or beer, eats heartily and smokes several cigars. His family physician has noted all of this and he knows the family history. In casual way he suggests to A that he ought to come around and be exam ined occasionally to see if he is nor nal in every way. He promptly gets
 
 with the sneering insinuation that he must be hard up for a fee as ''I never | felt better in my life and can do as much work as any two men in smy employ"
 Of course, the good doctor does not repeat his suggestion, although he dreads the climax which he feels is bound to come. A few months later the newspapers tell the story of the prominent MT. A, stricken suddenly while at work and apparently in the very best of health, funeral tomor- row. Symptomless disease, in this case 'Brights."
 l While on the, other hand MT. B, tall, slender but fairly well nourished Is a veritable pest and all of the doc tors in the town dread to see him coming. although he pays we'll and willingly but the doctor can never get the slightest satisfaction in treating him for the simple reason that his is a case of diseaseless symptoms.
 He wakes up in the morning and discovers 8 pain in his back. Instantly the sudden death of MT. A. is recall ed and he is positive that he has Bright's disease, and off to the near i est doctor with 8 long tale Of woe and a demand for an immediate examina- tion and proper treatment. Analysis of the urine shows that there is no disease of the kidneys and so the doc tor gives mild laxative and tells him to not worry but this part of the treatment Is without effect and in a few days he is back with a dozen more symptoms. This process contin- ues until he finally dies of old age unless some physician gets hold of him that is skilled in psycho-diagnos- is and properly treats the mans mind.
 At e recent medical convention I heard an old practitioner of more than national reputation say in ef- feet, that if all of the patients suffer- ing with diseaseless symptoms were eliminated about 90 per cent. of the medical profession would have to get some other job or starve to death
 Now, it is going to become neces- sary before long for those that think they are well, to consult an able diag- nostician at regular periods and pay him to keep them well. It will also be necessary for diagnosticians to lstudy well the mental conditions of

CLUB NOTES

Dear Doctor: Just as we had our home sold, debts paid and nicely set tied in a rented house with a few hundred dollars in the bank and MT. Ks salary to depend upon, another shadow comes across my path like the usual "stroke from the blue'', MT. K. was stricken with Neuritis. The doctor we have is no doubt a good one and doing the best he can, but after all it seems to me that he gets the money while get work in giving baths, binding the limbs in cotton and flannel, etc. The first relief my hus- band got was after taking Grand mothers Rheumatic cure for day as recommended in your book of herb remedies, while I do not suppose it is just the proper thing for him to take but it is the only thing that has im- proved his condition to any extent so far.
 Now, what advice can you give for the relief and cure of his condition. He took a treatment last evening of an osteopathic physician but of course one treatment could not do much. The Home Health Club has certainly been a blessing to me as we have had severe loss and trouble. Its advice has certainly been a help to me dur ing the work hours of my life and realize the help and improvement l have obtained since we moved fur ther out of town and have a COW and chickens and the work attending them. I am much stronger generally and take cold less often.
 MRS w. K.
 (Answer) I note what you say in regard to the condition of MT. K. Ii is becoming more generally recogniz- ed that the so-called Neuritis is as a rule a mistaken diagnosis, although correctly termed. The real disease is not in the nerves themselves but is dueto an infection generally arising in the teeth or in the tonsils. To give him medicines for his nerves would be merely to give palliative remedy and to relieve symptoms. What he wants at the present time is to re- move the cause and there will be nc further trouble of that kind. In or der to find out the cause the best and quickest way is to go direct to ar X-ray specialist and have photo graphs taken of all of his teeth anG I venture to say that he will find ab scesses at the roots of two or three o1 them and whenever you find ab scesses at the root, even though there is no pain whatever and the tooth i! apparently sound, it should be imme diately extracted. There is at the present time no known remedy tha1 will remove the cause except to pull the teeth and treat the cavity witt fantiseptic and then pack 1t for a, least "A hours. If the teeth are found to be sound, then he will probably find the cause in the tonsils in the form of crypts. I think you will have no difficulty if you go to an X-raJ specialist in locating the cause.

Washington, Dec. 7.-The part Amer1ca's railroads have played in preDaring the nation for war was re- 7tsd to Congress today in the annual repogt of the Interstate Commerce Commizsion. While struggling under unusual commercial demands, the Gcmmiasion explained, the railroads were forced suddenly to transport RreA& numbers of troops and quanti- ties of cantonment materials. The gtauk task was accomplished success fully, but only by cooperation of the reads among themselves and with the eommerce Commission.
 The Commission gave no specific words of praise for the railroads, but commendation was implied.
 Looking ahead, the Commission secs that it is necessary to develop to q greater extent the principle of priority for transportation of com Efnodittes essential to the conduct of the war, and predicts broader action rf this sort in the near future"
 No hint Is given of the Commis- rkon's attitude toward the Eastern and Western railroads pending applica- dou for increased freight rates to meet extraordinary expenses.
 Mainly. through new powers over UR service. says the commission, 1t has been able to develop traffic CO., lspaKation between roads in the most economic use of freight cars. Atten- tion is called to the Esch car service, act of last May which some Commis- sionera have said they believe conveys adsruata power to the Commission to virtually assume management of the noads
 T1h1s law gives authority whenever the Commission shall be of the opin- ion that necessity exists for immedi- ate action H/to suspend the op- eraf1on of any or all rules, regulations cz practices then established with re- apect to car service for such time as may be determined by the Commis- sfon. and also authority to make such just and reasonable directions with respsct to car service during such tinae as in it's opinion will best pro- mote car service in the interest of the public and the commerce of the people, -----------------
 Nl0ELlLlf60llLlk On IAAU A4oSo LOA OOSSO4 utilization of freight cars, the Com mission said:
 The cooperation of the shippers and carriers is worthy of especial note The volume of business being offered to the carriers for transpor- ration materially exceeds the assimi- lating ability of the transportation in- strumentali.ies. Owing to the de- n1and upon car and locomotive build ing plants for equipment for use abroad. both by our own forces and by our allies, and to the unprece- denksd difficulty of securing labor and material, 1t is impossible at the present time for these plants to dc mu0h moTs than replace the equip
 mont worn out in the service of the United States. It Is apparent that the solution of the car service problem uutn such time as additional equip rnsnt and facilities can be provided iioa In securing the maximum use oi fthoso already existing"
