Something over sixty years ago.
Peloua. = French scientist, discovered
q form OF organic phosphate which
when taken into the human system
was quickly converted into nerve
tissue.
Soon after It's discovery Dr.. Albert
Robin (Academy of Medicine, Paris)
began q scientific investigation Of
the use OF this organic phosphate and
It's effect upon the human system.
with results that amazed the scien-
tific and medical world.

nervous vitality, such as neuras-
thenia, nervous weakness, premature
old age. insomnia, lack Of energy
fatigue, nervous debility, thinness.
etc, II Is uneQualled.
Physicians and hospitals every
where now recognize It's merits by its
use In ever-increasing quantities. and
1t is therefore matter Of more than
ordinary interest to all such suffer
ers to learn that this organic nerve
building phosphate Is now obtainable

American Machinist: A solution Of
some Of our problems has been pro-
posed by @. C. McChord OF Kentucky,
o member OF the railroad wage COM
mission. and IN addition recently ap-
pointed as one Of the umpires OF the
national war labor board. Mr.. Nc
Chord says: What Is needed in this
country is wider diffusion of manu-
featuring industries and the local
supply Of the necessaries OF LIE.
Products Of our factories are dis
trfbuted throughout the land. but
often under circumstances Of such
economic waste as to demand radi-
cal change. In the development OF
manufa cturinS many elements have
conspired to confine factories to Inn
tied territories or particular cities.
''The attempt to build up indus
tries over scattered districts has not
been entirely successful I'm the past
owing to number Of reasons. And
In the twenty years from 1875 to
1896 the whole middle west made
strenuous efforts to obtain manufac-
turing Industries Of various kinds.
During that period, by the payment
of large bonuses, offers OF free taxes,
coal and water, and in other ways,
some sections secured the location Of
factories that gave promise OF afford
ing cheap material for home con-
sumption and distribution OF the
surplus to neighboring towns. Many
of these factories failed, and ride
over the country today will disclose
crumbling buildings and smokestacks
in numerous towns and villages as
grim monuments of the dead hopes
of their promoters.
"The reason for these failures was
the fact that railroads favored GER
tain manufa cturing centers In the
way Of facilities and rates 1t seems
to be conceded by everyone that no
matter what is done in respect to
the great transportation systems of
the country after the war is over.
certain condemned practices and the
unbridled competition of past years
lis at an end, and that by some
means the carriers of the future will
be under such regulations as will in
sure the largest and most effective
use of the facilities they have for
the conduct Of the transportation
business of the land without favor

He that will do all that he can lawfully,
would if he burst, do something that is not
awful-Jeremy Taylor.
RET1cENCE IS DESIRABLE.

Sometime after our army got into France and
began to get into service reports OF the dash
and efficiency Of our troops came thick and fast;
tributes were plentiful from the French and
British to fighting qualities of American sol
diers Our press quite naturally spread the
good news and gave prominence to the tributes
Then there came from Washington the sugges
ton that it would be well not to overdo the
prominence given to news and comments on the
valor of our men, especially in any way that
might be interpreted as making invidious COM
parsons with the troops of allies, who had
fought for years and endured the brunt of the
gstruggle. This reticence from boastfuness was
seen as wise and good hammered; and in the
main it was observed.
Now we got through the war without any
bother1nent over our boastfulness or any dis
position to find fault with us for claiming more
than belonged to us. It is only since the fight
ing of the Germans stopped that we sense evi-
dence of some evaporation felt by our friends
and allies at us for pre-empting the center OF
the public stage. And it seems that possibly
the practice of the sort of reticence the govern
im*nt SO tactfully suggested in war time might
alleviate some of the irritation IF we were to
institute the terse communicates in which the
fine deeds Of our soldiers were chronicled to
cover the acts and words of our peace ENJOYS
II might prevent misunderstanding abroad
and at home we should really know quite as
well what is being done as we do now.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1919-02-19
Scattering Our Manufactures

to one shipper or prejudice to an
other.
"The most important matter just
now, however, is the part that the
railroads should play in the readjust-
ment that must be made In our in
dustrial and economic conditions. AS
before noted the larger part OF our
manufacturing is done in cities. The
greatest manufacturing cities of the
nation, considering the variety and
quantity Of production. are Chicago,
ILL.,. and Philadelphia. Pa Southern
New England has develoed into a
succession of manufacturing cities.
Pittsburgh dominates the Iron and
steel industry; it controls prices
wherever sales may be made IN this
country"
Itis the belief of Mr. McChord that
railway transportation will be SO con-
trolled that industries need not con-
gregate in the Large centers, and
that this diversion will add much to
securing better economic opportuni-
ties for all and will add to the utli-
mate greatness of the nation as well
as to individual contentment.
Such distribution of industries
would tend to build up series Of
small cities probably adjacent to our
present large Industrial centers.
Some of these might even be reduced
in the process. and we might expect
to see territorial expansion OF city
limits to suit those who think IN
nothing but terms Of the largest
city" The name of the place, how
ever, matters little If better dis
tribution of shops and better living
conditions can be realized and the
congestion in city transportation
which now exists reduced.
How will a redistribution of manu-
featuring centers affect the machine
building industries? Many OF them
are already located in small towns
and villages and seem to find 1t nc
particular disadvantage. Some of the
most successful In fact are not even
well located as to railroad facilities
There is no doubt that equality IN
railroad rates and in railroad serv
ices would do much to allow build
ers of machinery locating in the less
crowded centers Whether this would
uecessitate sales office in the city
is another matter.

good. And Iowa can and should, raise
the best citizens in the world, citizens
who will make the best homes in the
world. The business Of our ssiperinten-
dents of schools, teachers and parents
is to guide and help our boys and girls
to become good citizens. Our girls and
boys will make Iowa still better and
greater if they get the right start and
good training. Whatever else they
teach, parents and teachers must see
to it that the girls and bows first learn
the language Of the United States, the
English language, before they are bur-
Gened with any other language. After
they have learned the language OF our
country well let them learn as many
other languages as they. wish. But be-
ware Of the teacher and Preacher and
newspaper or any other institution
that would urge parents to teach thor
children some other language before
they have learned to do business in
the English language, the language OF
the country which IS their home. Par
ents il you have the welfare Of your
children at heart and II you love your
country help your children to learn the
language Of our country first. That
will give them good start to become
good Americans.

Now that the war is over, the railroad COM
missions of the different states are becoming
FESTIVE because Of the continued curtailment OF
their normal activities; and in number OF IN
stances orders have been issued by such com
missions prescribing Interstate railroad rates
Ito take the place of the rates fixed by the feder
lal director general of railroads Then, too, IN
certain instances, injunctions have been issued
by state courts against the application OF these
federal rates to state shipments
It is reported that the federal railroad admin
Iistration will not permit the railroads to COM
ply with any such orders or injunctions Thus
the situation has become a very delicate one
land will require careful handling to avoid ser
ious trouble particularly since the matter IN
wolves a number Of constitutional questions as
Ito which the views of some of the best lawyers
in the country are decidedly at variance. In
this connection it may be interesting to note
the fact that a short ime ago, when Mr.. Nc
lAdoo appeared before the senate interstate com
merce commission to urge the extension OF the
period of federal operation Of the railroads to
five years, the question was raised by certain
senators as to whether the federal government
has any authority whatever, under the constltu-
ton, to hold the railroads for single day after
the close of the war. In the circumstances
lit seems very likely that proceedings in the fed
rad courts will be instituted at early date fol
the purpose of determining the legal status OF
this entire matter.
