BOGUS OFFICER
NAMES DOCTOR
Tells Where to Get Certificate
Signed.

Warning that new kind Of bogus
''health inspector" is abroad in the city
was issues yesterday by DR.. Henry G..
Morgan, secretary of the board of public
health.
The latest imposter is helping one or
two doctors, considered unethical by the
more reputable members of the profess
sion, to fatten off of the ignorance or
the law in men and women who are re-
quired to pass physical examinations in
order to handle food.
The bogus inspectors" and the IN
ethical doctors are planning a financial
harvest during State Fair week and it
is to block them that the warning is is
sued, DR.. Morgan said.
The warning is as follows:
upon several occasions the attention
Of this department has been called to
parties who represent themselves to be
health officers in order to induce food
handlers to go to a certain physician
for a health certificate.
SIGNED BY
ANY DOCTOR
1.-The state food laws require that all
food handlers have a certificate show
ing that they are In good health, but
this may be signed by any licensed ply
stefan Of the state.
1.-The health department has absolute
~ no power to designate any particular
physician to Issue these certificates.
Anyone representing himself TO be
an agent of the board Of health and
INDUCING in this practice is bogus and
without any authority.
get your health certificate signed by
any licensed physician"
The fake inspectors have been going
around TO restaurants, groceries and
other places where food was handled
and telling employees that they must go
TO the specified doctor or doctors.
The doctors charge an unusually high
fee, of which. il is thought. the ''inspec-
tors" get a goodly percentage.

now TO GET A RAIoE

Every day the business man Of this
territory is called upon by some Of his
help who want despite the present
high scale-an increase in wages
for the sole reason that he or she
thinks that il should be given
whether the party is entitled to it or
not. All too frequently the applicant
has done nothing to merit raise and
is like the chap Smithers who rose in
the great world Of commerce to the
exalted position Of bOOkkeeper. He
made this progress in just eleven
years by doing just what he was paid
TO do, and not one mite more. Smith
ers was a consistent chap, and this
idea Of getting before-you give had
become a habit with him. One sun
day Smithers went down cellar to
feed the furnace. He decided to dick
er with it just as he dickered with
the boss, 50 he opened the door, got
a shovel Of coal, and said to the fur
mace: Now, you give me some heat,

THE SHORTAGE OF HOUSES

There is practically not a house for
rent in st. Joseph just now-and there
have been but few in the last three
years. There is a like condition at
Savannah, at Maryville, at Plattshurg
and all of the larger towns in this
vicinity-and people wonder why this
is so-and do not look for the real
reason which still .underlies the desire
of the country dweller to get to the
bright lights. Until we face the facts
squarely and eliminate the buncombe
mostly political--we are not going
to make much headway with our
housing problem. The condition that
confronts us is a scarcity of houses.
For the first time in a great many
years real estate is a paying PROPOSE
/ tion. Apartment houses and tene-
ment blocks are changing hands with
| unprecedented rapidly and in many
cases the new owners have boosted
the rent roll put their property on a
new earning basis and sold 1t to a
buyer who has given the tenants an
other notice to pay more or get out
This is an exasperating exhibition
Of greed. In many cases it has work
ed hardship and cruelty upon the
helpless. No fair minded person will
offer any defense for such tactics or
oppose suggestions for corrective leg
not, we are not going to correct the
evil by a new era Of price fixing
which at best is a palliative instead
Of a remedy. You can't increase
supply by putting down the price of
wheat you have to sell.
This is the situation. What brought
it about? Undoubtedly the founda-
ton for this crisis has been laid by
two factors--legislative stupidity and
labor union extortion. The taxes laid
upon real estate in the past have pre-
vented capital from going ahead with
construction. State and municipal
extravaganza had to be supported By
the man who was enterprising enough
to improve city property. The bur-
den got so heavy that the ventures
did not pay. Trust companies and
insurance companies were none too
anxious to lend on block that was
carrying too heavy a load of taxes
Even II the rent roll was large enough
to meet interest and taxes, there was
not enough left to encourage the
builder to go on with new plans.

such transactions can be made bind
ing by law, and only by law.
Labor has acted ill-adviscdly in re-
sisting legislative measures intended
to fix its responsibility. No surcr
method of defeating union recognition
and collective bargaining can be de-
vised than to make them of uncertain
value. To negotiate as equals mon
must be equal and their obligations
must be reciprocal. When by an ap-
propriate enactment a labor contract
shall have been made as sacred as
any other engagement, to be enforced
ut law if necessary with the usual
pains and penalties, there will be an
end of outlaw strikes and many other
industrial troubles. The very security
guaranteed by the proceeding, its jus
tice being admitted, cannot fail to
make for better relations, from which
labor will be the gamer.

We don't go much on these overall

Too many "snobs" and "fops" are

Those are the kind of ''snobs" who
should really be made to wear over

Some people are wearing overalls

boys do wear overalls now and it has
been so always. Practically all the
real producers wear overalls when at
work; the farmer. the miner, the fac
tory worker and many others wear the
work suit that usually consists OF
shirt and overalls. 1t should be con-
sidered a real honor for one that does
not produce, to wear the garb of the

millions, coupled with the failure OF

even the extremists OF organized labor
that thcr, is fundamental error in

Practically all Industrial legislation
