SUCH A JOKEl

We are told that the railroads
will be returned, rebuilt and re
equipped, at moment when the
private owners could not possibly
finance them.
1t is injudicious to tell people
things like this. To tell a man
a good fib may not deceive him,
but it will probably interest him.
He will enjoy the ingenuity Of it,
even if he diesn t believe it. He
will say, can attempt has at least
been made to concoct something
plausible. 1t is not, on the fact
of it, incredible. although it hap
pens to be untrue. 1t does not
insult my intelligence. l am not,
in a word, invited to think tina.
| am a credulous half-wit. +"
A clumsy lie does positive
harm to it's inventor. 1t awakens
suspicion, and antagonizcs the
man to whom it is told. He thinks
that he is not considered worth
the trouble Of composing a clev-
erly disguised fable. You only
annoy a man when you tell him
something that would not fool a
six-year-old.
SO far from re-equippirs the
railroads. MO attempt whatever
has been made to provide Cor de-
probation. At the present prices
of material and labor it will cost
five hundred million dollars to
put the roads into the same CON
dition they were in when the gov
eminent took them over. Ard
they were running at profit be-
fore that.
Where do propagandists buy the
chemicals that make them talk
like this? Is it crude alcohol or
tincture Of opium? AS private
recipes for taking pifflicating
beverages will be at premium af-
ter the LIST of July, it is unthrifty
to make a secret of the formula.

Are Canned Foods Dangerous?

Monies staff of the extension div
| ision of the University of Idaho,
answering a question that arises
| in the minds of many housewives,
| now that the canning season is at
| hand.
Poison in cans can be guarded
against, says the home economies
| staff, by care for the freshness
and good condition Of the pro
duets canned, and by the use OF
new lids and good rubbers, and the
avoidance Of anything that might
tend to contaminate the food IN
the canning process.
In addition, rules are presented
for detecting the presence OF
spoilage, when the jars are open
ed. The signs are three, anyone
of which they say should condemn
the jar:
/. Gas bubbles in the jars, the
tops of the jars blown, and a
squirt of liquid as the top is un-
screwed.
2. An odor somewhat resemb-
ling rancid cheese.
3. A mushy or disintegrated
appearance of the solid parts OF
the contents Of the Jars.
Then, as a final safeguard /:
"Any canned goods that are in
the least suspicious should be
emptied into a kettle and boiled
for five minutes. They can then
be eaten without danger" In
deed, the really safe thing to do,
they say. is to heat for five min
utes all canned vegetables and
meats, before they are served.

WHERE DOES 1T ALL LEAD?

M. G. U.-Do you know the
meaning of these letters? 1t is
Middle Glass Union.
The union is. as its name int
plies, federation of those VIII 3
do not live by manual labor ii
is the outcome of postwar condi-
tons in England.
The effect Of continual strikes
is to increase the cost Of every
thing, the ultimate tendency be-
ing to create scarcity. In Amcri-
ca there are many who advocate
a six hour day, which, if observ-
ed by workers in all lines of ac-
tivity-from the physician to the
scavenger-would mean that only
quarter of our time would be
devoted to the production of any
thing.
The physician produces health.
and the scavenger produces clean
illness. If two hours less day are
devoted to the creation OF these
conditions. there will be more
dirt and disease than there is now.
More, by one-fourth-if we as
sumo that doctors only work eight
hours at the present time. They
work more, of course. And if
farmers, around Nezperce and
other places. took notion to
come down to six hours day, the
effect would be like the plaques
in Egypt.
The middle classes realize that
general prosperity is not increas-
ed by a mOnotOnous succession of
strikes. The bricklayer strikes
and houses become more expen-
sive, SO that the locomotive engi-
neer finds it too costly to build
a home. Accordingly, he strikes
for higher pay-and freight rates
go up. Everyone of these strikes
pinches the physician, the farmer,
and the bookkeeper; but if these
also strike, prices will merely GO.
higher still.
The money that is to provide
all these wage increases must
come from somewhere-and Of
course we are told that it must
come from the capitalist. But
there isn't capital enough now 10
finance industry; so eventually it
will not be obtainable from. this
source. The farmer has a fairly
clear conception of these things;
though one of the middle classes,
he is a capitalist himself.
The physician and the book
keeper are at present squeezed be-
TWEEN capital and labor but they
have the intelligence to see that
if they form independent unions
they will simply increase the gen.
eral scarcity. So the whole mid
die class has federated in Great
Britain, and determined to vote
solid against any legislation that
favors any defined class-wheth-
er capitalist, professional, cleri-
cal, or industrial.
There seems to be logic in this
move. We haven't come to it yet
in America; but we can t fail to
notice that legislation appears in
creasingly to be designed for the
benefit Of this or that socia'
grade, rather than for the nation
as a whole. And the only effect
of it is constant diminution Of

RED CROSS TAKES
UP LOCAL WORK
PeaceProgram Calls For Serv-
ice of Help in
Steelton

The first day of the Red Cross
|rollcall has brought to light many
mistaken opinions as to the work of
the Red Cross in the future. There
seems to exist in the minds of many
the idea that, as the war is over
there remains no work for the Red
Cross to accomplish. Officials of the
local chapter feel that there is an
abundance of work to be accom-
plished, and most of it right here
at home in Steelton.
Asked what the Red Cross peace
program calls for, the officials m
substance gave the following an
swer:
More than a year ago we in
|augurated a Home Nursing Course,
which we firmly believe has been
a source of great help to the gen.
eral healthfulness of the borough.
Certainly there has been less sick
ness in the borough because of it.

able to take better care of the
health of the members of their famt-
lies.
Then there have come to us
many calls for help from the fami-
lies of soldiers. The average num-
Der of families helped every month
runs well over a hundred. Think
what this means. 1t means that ev-
cry month the local chapter of Red
Cross has helped in a substantial
way families of men who have Of
fered themselves for the salvation of
the courtry-families who other
wise would have been in despair.
Past experience has shown us
that every year there arise in Steel
ton many cases of need that re-
quire prompt and good attention.
These the Red Cross proposes to
answer in a substantial way.
mo one knows what the future
holds, what cases of general need
and distress may occur among us.
1t is conceded quite generally that
had the Red Cross not been on the
job during the influenza epidemic
the toll of death in Steelton would
have been tripled. The Red Gross,
thoroughly organized and with
funds orr hand, was able to step in
and stay the hand of death.
