Mr.. Tatts Patriotic Service.

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: For gem
erations one great American problem
has been what to do with our ex-presi-
dents. But in these troublous times
one Of them, living, is solving the
problem in a simple, quiet and whole
some way Without word of criti-
cism of the powers that be, William
H. Taft has put his shoulder to the
wheel, aiding where he believes his
services would be of the most value,
calmly and earnestly tackling any job
offering an opportunity to help win
the war for democracy. Mr.. Taft has
temporarily given up his task of teach
ing law at Yale university, in order
that he might teach the American pub
lie how a patriotic ex-president can
make himself live asset instead of a
dead liability. He is now at work at
a desk in Washington, giving the best
there is in him to his country. That
is real democracy.

JAIL PRISONERS
GOOD EATERS
Coffee Cake and Brown Loaves Fresh
From oven Provided for
Those Behind
Bars

Prisoners in the city jail these days
believe it worth while to be locked up
for a few days.
There's a reason.
They're eating real coffee cake with
sugar and cinnamon tops an ever
thing.
When the grand aroma of cooking
dainties floated down police alley,
Saturday, an investigation revealed
the fact that big table in the liy-
ing compartments of Jailer Warren
Holiday and his wife was being fill
ed with golden leaves Of bread and
other "cookin'."
The jailer claims no superior vir-
tues for himself but he does claim
that Mrs. Holiday is the best cook in
town.
A few hundred depredators of the
last several years will vouch for the
statement, anyway.

 DUTCH SHIP ISSUE
Lansing Explains Why America Hook Over Merchant Fleet

Washington, April 13.-Secretary L9nstng late yesterday afternoon ls- sued a statement in reply to the statement of the Netherlands govern ment on March 30 in regard to the taking over of Dutch ships.
 A copy of the statement has been sent to the Netherlands legation, but it has not been communicated to the Holland government in the form ot a note because the Netherlands gov ernment, in setting forth its positlon m merely issued a statement and sent no, formal note of protest to Wash ington.
 After pointing out that the Nether- lands government does not argue the question of the legality of the action taken by the United States, Secretary Lansing, dealing with the declaration by the Netherlands government that the very presence of these Dutch ships in American ports resulted from our detention of them with an un- friendly hand, points out that the statement of the Netherlands govern ment explicitly recognizes the tradi- tional friendship between the two countries, and asserts that it should

had been willing in part so to accom- plish
 The action taken leaves available to the Netherlands government by far the greater part of their merchant machine and tonnage, which, accord ing to estimates of their own off, cials. Is ample for the domestic and colonial needs of the Netherlands. Shipping required for those needs will be free from detention on our part and will be facilitated by the supply ing of bunkers. The balance is being put into a highly lucrative service. the owners receiving the remunera- ton, and the associated governan assuming risks involved. In order to insure to the Netherlands the future enjoyment of her merchant marine intact, not only will ships be returned at the termination of the existing war emergency, but the associated gov- ernments have offered to replace in kind rather than In money any ves- sells which may be lost whether by war or marine risk; 100000 tons of bread cereal which the German gov. ernment when appealed to refused to supply have been offered to the Meth erlands by the associated govern ments out of their own inadequate supplies, and arrangements are being perfected to tender to the Neither lands government other comm odities which they desire to promote their national welfare, and for which they may freely send their ships
 "The statement of the Netherlands government explicitly recognizes the traditional friendship of the United States toward their country. It rec- ognizes that we have heretofore sought to act in accordance with the dictates of right and justice and to champion the interests of smaller na- tions It should not therefore hastily be presumed that we have now abruptly repudiated that friendship and been false to those ideals. It
 in fact difficult to believe that sur a conclusion could be drawn fro, this exercise of our rights in ma ner which scrupulously safeguard and indeed promotes the national ir terests of the Netherlands.'

DIR. CLINTON J. HYDE THE PRICE YOU PAY

CT know I ought to take treatment; [ have been running down for the ,sst year or two. I am all Tagged out, have no ambition, worry from morn ing till night, don't care whether 1 am dead or alive, have lost weight and cannot do the same work 1 used to do some years ago. II were as strong as I was, I could earn good money. I know I ought to treat with a good specialist, but l cannot a1ford to pay for the treatment
 You are paying for 1t NOW, my friend, and dearly; yet you do not get 1t,
 Let me tell you why.
 Your health is your capital; your working capacity is the interest you are drawing.
 A good manager never spends more than his interest.
 Should he begin to draw on the capital his interest would, of course, decrease
 And what are you doing?
 You allow your health to run down more and more; therefore, you can not work and earn what you used to. Do you see the point7 You are draw ing on your capital--which is your health-by allowing it to run down, and so the interest (your working , capa city) Is steadily growing smaller.
 You used to make good money; now you earn about half of what you used to get.
 To make two, three or four dollars was play to you: and you had all vour heart and soul in your work
 These happy days ere gone.
 You now barely make living and find 1t almost beyond your strength. And you shudder at the thought of what will happen when the final breakdown comes.
 Figure out in dollars and cents what you have lost already and you will be amazed at the amount; and what you are gong to lose is beyond estimation.
 The dollar you MIGHT earn, but , don't, is an actual expense to you. You spend it. And what do you get for it. Worry, anxiety, despondency. want and deprivation for your family.
 The dollar you take out of your pocket and spend for treatment with an experienced specialist is not an expense. It is an investment. And in return you get increased working ability, higher wages, health and hap piness at home.
 Which will you choose?
 Can you hesitate?
