VEGETABLE AND FRUIT FAMINE

Edwin F. Bowers. M. D., in Physical
Culture: 1t is notorious that in this
| land of plenty and reckless exploita-
ton Of natural resources there should
be-not thousands, but millions-who
don't know the taste of a green salad
or succulent vegetable, or a ripe
orange or grapefruit, from one late
summer or autumn until the next.
Their winter-time conception OF a veg.
etable is a boiled potato or can OF
tomatoes.
Hundreds Of hotels, thousands of
boarding houses, and scores OF thou
sands of famflies-ignorant Of the
fundamental meaning OF balanced
ratfon"-hold that peas or rice or
beans are "vegetably" enough to &C.
company dish OF pork or beef.
They ignore-if indeed they ever
knew-the fact that rice is a carbo-
hydrate-a starch product, almost
identical with the potato or bread
they already have-and that peas or
beans are a sort of vegetable meat
hash, containing 22.s5 per cent. OF
protein "a nitrogen product, like
meat and 52.36 per cent. of starch.
And all the while these millions are
suffering from the lack Of essential
mineral salts-lime, potash. iron and
other elements that enter largely In
to the composition Of bones, teeth,
nerves, and other cell structures.
As consequence we Americans
have the most rachftic bones, the soft
est, poorest teeth, and the most I'M
stable nerves OF any civilized people
A perfect set Of teeth is hardly to be
found In a child, and among adults

But most Of all the ''hay"-the bulk

lacking. This is the chief reason why
the American is the most constipated
biped on earth.
And what constipation does to or

Write Cheerful Letters TO Soldiers

Caroline Ticknor, OF the Vigilan-
ties: Are we. the women of this coun-
try, helping the kaiser with our pens ?
We are assuredly, in every gloomy,
worrisome depressing letter we send
to dampen the spirits and take the
heart out of soldier in field or
camp. Ii we do this, we are Gripping
the army of America and strengthen
ing the enemy, even though we are
knitting day and night, putting our
money into Liberty bonds and help
ing Hoover conscientiously.
In an enlightening article entitled
THE Women Behind the Soldier
Mrs. Rhinehart has offered the fol-
lowing report made after first-hand
study of the facts:
I'm one great army camp, $4,000
letters are received each day, nearly
all written by women. A careful in
yestigation has shawn that one in
five, or 10000 letters a day in that
one camp, are of the sort to take the
very soul out of man. And the in
vestigation showed that on the day
a man received a discouraged and
peevish letter from home he was far
below his normal efficiency"
Mrs. Rhinehart concludes that il a
like proportion of this type of de-
pressing letters are being sent to
France, the writer's are doing their
part to sap the strength and courage
of one-fifth Of our forces. Is this a
trifling aid to Germany, or is it not?

has been my privilege to read a
great number Of soldiers letters

tai strangers. as well as countless

MR.. HUGHES SERVICE.

Charles E. Hughes is one Of the master IN
vestigators of the country and his appointment
by the president to help the attorney general
probe the aircraft scandal if such it shall prove
to be- is assurance that the unwhitewashed
facts will be brought out 70 this the people
are entitled. IF there has been culpable negll-
gence, gross incompetence or criminal proflteer-
ing, the sooner the country knows it the better.
Rumors suspicious and distrust are IN the air
These may be baseless. Let us hope for the
honor of the country that they are. But wheth
er the truth dispels them or confirms them,
the administration is acting advisedly In turn,
ing blaze of light upon the case. A vague, I'M
founded suspicion would be more damaging to
the prestige of the war department than any
facts however discriminating, that may be re-
vealed. It may be assumed that Mr. Hughes
accepts this responsibility reluctantly, and
from sense of duty for partisan clamor is
likely to be raised against him if the disclo-
sures evidence the incompetence of executive
agencies. But situation exists which nothing
but full publicity of the unvarnished truth can
improve.

LENGTH OF DAYS.

Speaking with his wonted felicity his
eightv-second birthday, former Speaker Cannon
declared that he did not feel lonesome. ''The
census repudiates,' he said, ''the psalmist s
suggestion that three score years and ten is the
span of life, for by the last census there were
more than two million people in this country
who had passed that age; there were about half
a million who had passed the four score; forty
thousand who had passed the age of ninety; and
nearly four thousand who had passed the
century mark. Physicians say that we are
soon. through their skill, to live to be one hun
dred and fifty years old. [ wish to God they
would hurry up.
Figures like these are cheerful reading to per
sons for whom the shadows lengthen unless
they are like the thoughtful centenarian I'M
earthed somewhere not long ago who remarked
reflectively that if he had his life to live over
he would find some way OF exchanging the
monotonous closing decades of it for more of
pleasure as he passed along. But the former
sneaker has not sacrificed reasonable degree
of rational pleasure, to longevity. He has
never been credited with asceticism or with the
practice of anv regimen to mortify the flesh. On
the contrary, he seems to have taken life and
It's pleasures cheerfully as things to be enjoyed

men to go tripping by an eighty second mile

GIVE US COAL.

| New York Commercial: Americans
may have to consume less wheat, meat
sugar, and other produts Of the soil
beause the available supply is insult
fiient for ourselves and our allies T;
but this is not true Of coal Sufficient
coal to last for centuries has been To-
Gated in this country. Mines now
opened and equipped can furnish more
coal than we can consume. 1t would
be possible to deliver 100000, 600 900
tons of it at the mouths of the mines
this year without opening up undevel-
oped coal fields. Anthracite may not
hold out for another half century, but
large increase in this years supply
can be secured. All that is required
to insure this continent against coal
famine next winter is sufficient labor
and transportation.
Our federal fuel and transportation
officials have ample warning that the
people will become FESTIVE IL they
shiver and freeze for lack of coal next
winter. They know that the coal is
easily accessible. II is not like food
stuffs. which do not exist now and
must be produced this summer They
are patient and willing to make neces-
sary sacrifices; but they will not be
patient if they cannot get coal when
it exists in practically inexhaustible
quantities within short distances OF
the chief centers of consumption, and
can be transported by rail and water.
Coal operators say they can mine
all the coal required II the railroads
will carry it away. The National Coal
association says that the shortage of
coal will be worse next winter than it
was last winter if the railroads do not
move the coal now. The coal mining
companies complain that they cannot
provide steady work for the miners
and are losing them for that reason.
Any strong, willing miner or other
workman can find plenty TO do and
does not have to stick to a job that
affords only part time work. This is
very serious feature OF the coal sit
uation.
II the fuel and transportation ad-
cannot solve the prob
lem it will become the chief issue at
the polls next November. The plain
people who have the votes will not
listen to excuses because they knew
that coal for all purposes can be pro-
cured If the railways and waterways
are ordered to transport It, Congress
cannot escape responsibility whether
or not it deserves blame. 1t is fair to

WARTIME POULTRY RAISING.

Rex Crabtree, in Mothers Maya
zine: In a number of places. during
the past year eggs were from 10
cents to $1.0o a dozen, and often By
no means fresh.
1t, therefore, becomes very Inn
portant that we do more in the way
of preserving eggs than we have
done heretofore. The process is
simple and inexpensive. The most
satisfactory method is by the use OF
waterglass. This can be purchased
from either druggists or poultry sup
ply houses. Dilute / part waterglass

Robert A. Gardner.


Burlington Hawk-Eye: Robert A.
Gardner, formerly postmaster at
West Point, and in more recent years
in business at Fort Madison, is one
of the leading active republican work
ers of Lee county, a member of the
central committee and well known all
over the county. Under normal con-
dlhons Lee county is politically
democratic, but occasionally, by
bringing out an especially capable
and popular man, the republicans
succeed in electing a county official
and sometimes member of the state
Legislature. Having this experience
in mind, the republicans this year
urged Mr.. Gardner to be candidate
for county auditor at the republican
primary. June 8. 1t had not been his
purpose to seek any political Office,
but ascertaining there was no other
republican in the field at that time
for the place, he finally announced
his candidacy, and it is believed he
will not only be nominated at the
primary but viii be elected at the
November election, because of his
recognized business qualifications for
the position and his extensive ac-
|quaintance and popularity among
voters Of all political parties. Mr..
Gardner is sturdy republican: no
one doubts that; but his political
opponents respect his character and
ability and like him because of his
honesty and fairness in politics and
his admirable personality. His edu-
cation and his broad experience in
bookkeeping and the auditing of &C
counts vii make Mr.. Gardner a most
valuable accession to the public serv-
ice OF Lee county.

In all Of these l have not found a sin:
gle one that did not breathe courage
and cheer and hopefulness. The
writers made the best Of everything,
they made light Of their dangers, III
ness and hardships; they joked
about the rats and vermin, the cold
and wet, the manifold discomforts
and deprivations. But never one COM
plant or murmur have / yet seen
penned by a soldier. Apart from any
regulations of the censor, it has been
evident that every soldier is taking
pains to send back home only that
which will cheer those left behind.
Is it too much then to ask OF
wives and mothers, sisters and
sweethearts that they shall refrain
from putting petty worries, and
gloomy foreboding, household annoy
ances into their letters, which are so
vital a factor in the lives of the men
who have gone out to stand between
them and the German guns? No
doubt there are thousands of lonely,
anxious, tired, harassed women on
this side Of the water, but as yet
they have suffered nothing, when
compared with their sisters across
the seas. and yet the women of Eng
land are smiling. the women of
France are smiling and even the
women OF Belgium are smiling
through their tears. If the American
women, or even one-fifth Of them,
are at this stage of the great war
sapping the courage of our men, what
will they be when possibly they are
confronted with the real hardship
and privation, which is now the por-
ton of their European sisters?

EFFICIENCY AND THE TARIFF.

EFFICIENCY AND THE TARIFF.
In paper read at the cotton manufacturers
convention in New York City, DR.. Frank w.
Taussig, chairman of the United States tariff
commission, paid high tribute to the efficiency
| of American labor. Saying that the effective
ness of labor and capital means something dit
ferent from that which is usually implied by the
word efficiency, he added that 1t IS true that
the high standard of living and the greater
spirit of activity in this country do bring 1t
about that our workmen are, man Tor man,
more efficient than those of foreign countries. =
But he had in mind something broader than eff
iciency in this limited sense; he referred to the
influence of all the factors which combine to
bring about the production and marketing OF
exported commodities. These include the indl-
vidual efficiency of the men, the ingenuity OF
inventors and engineers, skill In designing and
organizing plants, and the excellence OF our
TRANSFORMATION system. ''And throughout, DIR.
!Taussis continued, ''the thing which probably
tells most of all in assuring a combined effec-
tiveness of our labor and capital is industrial
leadership. 1t is this which has made the
economic world it is this which justifes bust
ness and the profits of business"
Here we have statement, as clear as 1t is
fair. of truth often overlooked by thoughtless
persons who take too little account OIL LIE
value of leadership in any industrial enterprise
Without this leadership, the rewards OF labor
and the earnings of capital would be compare
lively small
When the war is over we shall need some
thing more than industrial efficiency if we are
to compete on even terms with other great COM
mercial nations Tariffs will play part in the
new competition, and the head OF the tariff
commission told the cotton manufacturers that
..neither in the past nor under existing leglsla-
ton has the United States government had an
established policy with respect to its CONNER
cial relations He expressed the opinion that,
as matters now stand, ''when it comes to nego-
tiating or bargaining with other countries IN the
matter of tariff arrangements and tariff con-
cessions. the United States may fairly be said to
be in helpless position. Here Is warning
to be needed, and no sensible protectionist will
think less of it because it comes from one popu-
larlv known as a low tariff man.
Dr. Taussig is careful student OF tariffs
and an accurate observer of the effects OF tariff
legislation. Recognizing as he does our adj
vantage in respect to industrial efficiency, he
points to our need of a bargaining power, OF
scrt not authorized by existing tariff laws 1t
is not too early to give attention to this matter
Similar matters already command attention IN
other countries

Threats of acts in vengeance of possible con-
viction of its leaders in their trial at Chicago
continue to be voiced by I. W. W. agitators.
They talk much of free speech and of suppress
ing reforms. But the I. W. W. does not seek
reforms: it purposes to accomplish revolution.
The propaganda is of rebellion against con-
stituted authority No legitimate reform makes
threats of reprisal before conclusion of the hear

put its acts and speech beyond the law and I'M
