MEDICINE OF COMMON SENSE
By DR.. Frank Crane

! was privileged the other day to see a
letter from field secretary of the Red
Cross. It brought out the fact that the
most important medicine in the kitbag of
the Red Cross agents, as indeed in the
medicine case of every physician, is com
mon sense.
Those who are engaged in the actual
details of national life are sometimes
blinded by the narrowness of their field,
and they need the larger and more CORE
lated vision of an advisor. rs
This letter illustrates this: -a-
''Then right on top Of that a boy came
to me who had been disappointed by not
getting his discharge. He was as full of
bitterness and anger as he could hold
listened attentively, frequently nodding
sympathetically, till he had talked himself
empty. Then / replied
eyes, my boy, know all about it. That's
what war is. You have been overseas and
| come back without a scratch, but now you
are caught in the clerical machinery of war
and it hurts grievousy.
Yes, I know the machinery isn't per-
feet, and it is poorly operated much of the
time. That is always the way with war ma
chinery. Even Germany, who probably had
the most perfect machinery ever known,
has fallen. I wish it were otherwise, but
there had never been such a thing as a
nice war. 1t takes a good soldier to go
to the front and bear all the hell of
trench life and battle without complaint It
takes still better soldier to do all that
and then come home and get caught in
the gears of clerical machinery
" The Government? What do you mean
by the Government? You speak of it as
though it were a band Of outlaws off in
some corner of the country doing every
thing conceivable to make people in gen.
eral and soldiers in particular suffer. Why.
boy, You are the Government, and when
you damn the Government you damn your
self, and your dad and all the rest of us.
"'When we went into this war it was
without any preparation and even though
we had been prepared we could not send
all our best men in the country to the front
the way we we're obliged to do and leave
the clerical end Of the war machinery at
home to be conducted by old men and girls
without that end having more or less serl-
Gus bitches We had some job.
"'If you could spend week with me in
the city of Washington, even now, you
would get some idea of the size Of that
job. And while we did not have to stand
the shock of battle and awfulness of trench
life you would realize that we, too, had
our heavy tasks and you would feel that
we with our still heavier hearts because
of you, our boys, who were over there, had
done pretty we'll, after all
"'We are still trying to do our best for
you. Can't you be patient just little
longer with us? There is still so much we
want to do for you, so much we will do
for you if you will only let us, if you will
only help us by being patient just
little longer

w ASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 1.-THE
w hottest stuff on earth-the constitu-
ent of red pepper which makes it
burn your tongue-has been isolated, analyz-
ed and put up in little bottle by Dr.. E. K.
Nelson of the Bureau of Chemistry.
DR.. Nelson may be said to have taken the
pep out of pepper, and thereby to have ro-
duced pure pep.
This remarkable substance bears about the
same relation to red pepper that saccharin
does to sugar. 1t has the essential quality
OF pepper-the burning quality-intencified
about five hundred times, just as saccharn
has the sweetness of sugar greatly intens-
fled.
In soldiers rations, a very small tablet of
saccharln does the work of many pounds of
sugar. little capsaicin, as it is called will
40 the work of tons of red pepper. 1t will
not give the faint flavor which pepper derives
from its essential oil, but it will give the
sense OF holiness with the most astonishing
generosity. mere pinch of capsaicin would
make whole kettle of soup so hot that no
one could eat it.
The strength of this substance is almost in
credlDle. DR.. Nelson has about two ounces of
IL. RE calculates that one of those ounces,
II sufficiently diluted, would be enough to
put peppery taste on the tongue of every
man. woman and child in the United States
DR.. Nelson has solution of capsaicin in al
cohol, which consists of one part of the hot
stutt to one hundred thousand parts of al
coDI waving the prohibition law in the
interests OF science the doctor allowed a
'neWspaperman to touch with lbs tongue a
single drop OF the precious fluid on flake
OF glass 1t may be stated that if this concoc-
ZION were placed in general circulation. il
would breathe new meaning into the term
firewater.
This substance was isolated long ago by a
British chemist named Thresh, who sWaI-
lowed some of it in capsule, and had one
OF the most intense and violent stomach aches
in the history of science. His discovery at
tracted some attention at the time but was
soon forgotten. 1t remained for Doctor Nell
son to analyze the substance. He not only
did that, producing the acid and the base of
which it is made, but he also made syn
thetlcally substance almost exactly like it.
The doctor had some interesting adventures
with his discovery. From working in his lab
oratory with the fumes of capsaicin, his face
became so red and irritated that he had to
give up shaving for while. A little of the
rarily blinded. But he found that the SUBJ
stance has absolutely no permanent effects.
His eyes in due course returned to normal,
and were no worse for the experience. His
whiskers are unframed.
By way of trying out the effect of capsacin
vapor, the doctor placed very small pinch
of it on piece of metal, and heated it until
it vaporized. He then opened the door of his
laboratory and drove the fumes out by p1ac-
ng an electric fan behind them. He himself

cost of living is mot hard to figure
u out" Says our Milton county con-
temporary:
About one-half of the world quit
work five years ago-that is, quit pro-
ducing and commenced to destroy with
war engines. Governments began to is
sue cheap money with which to prose-
cute the war. People accumulated
bushels of this money and are now using
it to bid against one another for the
scant supplies of foodstuffs. Having
plenty of this cheap money, they are re-
fusing (some of them) to work; and so
long as they do not work, the prices Of
food will remain high. When the sup
ply of cheap money gives out and peo-
pie return to work, then prices will
tumble
Certain it is there will be no tumble until
production is brought more nearly abreast OF
supply. Some commodities may reach low
er price level, and market fluctuations may
bring transient cheer to the detected con-
sumner. But permanent relief must be look
ed for in the increase of those goods and serv-
ices which the world finds indispensable and
which now are unequal to the demand. The
work cure, the Free Press says, is the only
certain cure.

Il National Budget Needed.
THE haphazard way in which Federal
expenditures are estimated is the sub

NHE napnazard way IN Wnlcn Federal
expenditures are estimated is the sub
ject of protest from the Governors of
twenty-five States whose opinions have been
canvassed by the National Budget Commit
tee. Pointing to the fact that now of all
times studious economy is imperative in ma
tional affairs, these Executives urge the
adoption of some plan of "co-Crdination in
estimates and appropriations" in place of the
disjointed methods now employed.
Assuredly there is need of improvement
in a system, or rather lack of system, under
which Congressional appropriations are made
up through twenty-nine distinct committees
Is it to be wondered that so many cooks spoil
the economy broth? In no other Govern
ment of importance is there such a lack of
business method, such temptation to eX-
traVagance. Yet America prides herself
upon business leadership and worships at the
shrine Of efficiency. Always regrettabIe, this
sort of looseness is particularly so when the
country's back bends under war tax the like
of which it was neveI before called on TO
bear
There were voluble promises from the in
coming Republican Congress that needful re-
forms upon this line would be promptly in
stituted. But the party of Lodge and Hiram
Johnson has proved as slothful in this bust
ness as it has proved obstructive to peace
In all the dawdling that has marked it's
course since it came into responsibility last
spring it has not found time to dispose of
this simple and urgent DUTY. There should
be no politics in the matter of establishing
some kind of budget system at Washington
Republicans and Democrats alike should sup
port the reform and should join in speeding
it to contamination.
