THE DRAFT ON NATURE
ARE YOU ASSISTING OR FIGHTING

Lack of knowledge is the main
reason why people suffer from vari-
Gus ills. They are too careless in
their mode of living. And still more
SO in the medicine they take.
The majority of people take medi-
cine just for the relief. The quicker
the better-overlooking the fact that
a quick cure at best is only tempo
rary. That unless the cause is COM
pletely eradicated it will come back.
Quick-action medicines are usually
drug combinations whose after-ef-
fects are often much worse than the
original ailment. While a true medi-
cine is much slower and more grad

Peter Finds the Home of
LongIegs.

Peter Rabbit watched Rattles the
kingfsher until the latter grew tired Of
fishing and flew away down the Laugh
ing Brook. This reminded Peter that
he had once found the home of Rattles
in a gravelly bank and he promptly de-
cided he would go look for it again. So
Peter scampercd along the bank of the
Laughing Brook, without stopping to
think that in that direction there were
no high graveily banks because the
Laughing Brook was flowing through
the Green Meadows and the Green
Meadows are low.
At last Peter reached the place where
the Laughing Brook enters the Big
River. OF course, he hadn't found the
home of Rattles. But now he did find
something that for the time being made
him forget Rattles and his home. Just
before it reaches the Big River the
Laughing Brook winds through swamp
in which are many tall trees and a
great number of young trees. Many big
ferns grow there and are splendid to
swamp. N'N I'M '''A|
He had stopped to rest in a clump of
ferns when he was startled by seeing a
great bird alght in a tree just a little
way from him. His first thought was
that it was hawk, SO you can guess
how surprised and pleased he was to
recognize Mrs. Longlegs. Somehow
Peter had always thought of the He
rons as always alighting on the ground.
But here was Mrs. Longlegs in a tree.
Having nothing to fear, Peter crept out
from his hiding place that he might see
better.
In the tree in which Mrs. Longlegs
was perched and just below her he saw
a little platform of sticks. He didn't Sus-
pect that it was nest because it looked
100 rough and loosely put together.

about it at all had not Mrs Longlegs

was watching 1t didn't seem big
enough or strong enough to hold her.
but it did.

the nest of Longlegs the Great Blue
Heron. He may be a mighty good fish

Mr.. Good, in House, Offers
Resolution in Behalf
of System.

Chairman Good of the House appro-
priations committee introduced a reso-
luton yesterday providing for the
of ''select committee
on the budget" to formulate legisla-
budget system of handling govern
ment expenditures.
Coincidently Representative Frear
of Wisconsin, republican. sent out
circular letter in advocacy of i real
budget system. as follows:
amy measure enacted into law
should provide a real budget system.
Present inefficient Legislative methods
result primarily from more tnan
twenty committees of the House ana
Senate that act independently, with
out responsibility or limit.
Believes Plan Meets Test.
Several so-called budget plans
have been introduced. The McCor-
mick plan of last session ana the
plan / have offered this session ! De,
lieve meet every test. Others onered
hereafter may be equally good or pos
sibly better Bill H. r. 1901. known
as the Good bill starts well. but gets
nowhere. 1t ties up the administra-
ton to a plan and then turns loose the
legislative branch-where the real
trouble lies. It's passage will not al
feet the twenty different irresponsible
committees, pork barrel legislation or
enormous waste of time and money
now involved. If accepted in present
form as a budget bilI it will proba bly,
postpone any real budget legislation.
Whatever it's purpose, it does not
deal with the legislative reform
promised by both great parties in
their national platform.
Real Committee Needed.
NO pride of authorship exists, as
the subject is too large for that in
ference, but plan to be effective
must wipe out all appropriation com
mittees and substitute real budget
committee. If the Good bill is ac-
companied by a positive change in
House rules, like that proposed in
resolution SO. it will approach COM
prehensive budget system. Other
wise, it provides no legislative re-
form, while further investigations
proposed in the Good bill may serve
to hamstring efforts of senators and
representatives who for many years
have tried to secure a real budget
system.
"In the sundry civil bill passed last
week the Senate provision for a COM
mission to report to Congress a def
mite budget plan is reported to have
been stricken out by the insistence of
the House conferees. The provision
was urged by senators who for years
have supported a genuine budget re-
form. The situation is plain. A real
plan or makeshift plan is the issue.
and the promise of the republican and
democratic platforms for real budget
legislation should be kept"
