What eople Say:
Some Side Remarks

The Question Of getting some,
thing to eat is not SO prominent il
this section at this time as how
much one should eat. There seems
10 be Il general opinion that re
duction in the amount being cater
would not injure the health OF The
people.
". r. Miller, Shinnston:
u was a big eater but have
reformed. l used to gorge my
self to the limit and as result
have been 4 sufferer with sto.
mach trouble for fifteen years.
| now eat but little and find
that the smaller the amount
that | eat the better feel.
There is no sense in gorging
just because It is popular to
eat and because feeding is IA
yorite topic OF conversation. I,
don't eat very much at any
time cow and ! don't touch
pork at all-pOrk is not fit TO
20 into the stomach"
W. F. Meredith, of Salem:
1.-THE amount that one should
eat depends upon the nature Of
the work he is doing. A man
doing heavy work can afford
to eat literally, but those who
are confined in offices will feel
better if they eat only a rea-
souable amount"
Dr.. L. N. Yost, health officer
Of Marion county: at least
90 per cent OF the ordinary all
ments of mankind are due to
auto-toxlIna, which in common
language may be construed as
the result OF over-eating. The
American people eat entirely
too much. The workingman
can stand meat once or even
twice a day. but once q day Is
often enough II not too often.
for an office man. When meat
is a part of the meal 1t should
be a part of the meal and not
the body of the meal"

II the legislature assents to a suggestion formu-
lated by commission which has been studying the
mater, Pennsylvania will have constitutional con
vention before long to outfit the state with brand
new fundamental law. The present Pennsylvania
constitution dates back to 1878 and therefore 1t is
a regular granddaddy among state constitutions, but
the experience OF New York state several ago
when a very progressive constitution framed by
such master minds as Elhu Root and Alton Parker
and others was showed under by the people does not
encourage the hope that the Pennsylvania under
taking will have easy time Of it. The old states
do not take kindly to sweeping changes preferring
to work out the problems in detail they come up.

CHANGES IN PRESIDENTIAL ELEC-
TONS

dent 10 take place on the second Monday in December,
also wants to have the president elected by The vote of
the individual members instead Of by ballot by states
in the event that the election thrown into The house
And right there he provided trouble for his major un-
Gertaking, which ought TO go through.
Such scheme as MIR. Macarthur proposes would
make it possible for the large states to combine against
the rest of the country the event the house called
upon 10 choose president. That may seem an UNI
likely possibility, but it important enough in the
minds of the men who framed the constitution 10 induce
them to set up the ballot by stale each state to have
one vote, as preventative measure.
However, as it was worked out this remedy was
regarded by some of the early statesmen as beng IN
itself very grave defect in the constitution. homas
Jefferson in letter written in 1923. declared that he
had always considered the Constitutional mode of
election ultimately by the Legislature voting by states as
the most dangerous blot in constitution, and which
some unIucky chance will some day hit.
There ought to be some middle ground. Jefferson
thought another constitutional convention ought to be
held to clear up the manner Of choosing presidents We
went through one grave crisis in $40 without beng
moved 10 chart a new constitutional course and the
chances are that we shall not be any willing to
take the matter up and straighten it out now How
ever Rep. Macarthur may be one Of those persistent
chaps who get things DONE Here's hoping that he is.

The prospect that there will be a department Of
public welfare with place in the cabinet for its
head was strengthened by an address which Senator
Harding made at Marion last evening to the dele
gates Of the Ohio Federation of the Child Conserva-
ton League. Whenever this subject is discussed it
is tactly assumed that this department, when it
comes will be presided over by woman, but
whether that is not. it probably would be
good thing from business standpoint to erect such
department and concentrate in 1t lot of activities
that are now widely distributed through various de
partments and lowered in effectiveness on that ac-
count.

This is noe Of the lessons the

SCHOOL CHILDREN AND
HEALTH.

Several million children of the
United States this fall have under
gone a great change in their
lives and entered upon that
epochal event of childhood-the
first year at school. Their hearts
and hopes are high, their dreams
of the future bright, and SO, too,
are the heart hopes and dreams
of million fathers and mothers
who look along the misty years
ahead. visioning the prosperity
and happiness Of their boys and
grown into men and women.
It is not uniting to sound to
those fathers and mothers, even
in the midst of their rosy thoughts
of the future, a warning. The
dreams Of some Of them, perhaps,
are Swallowed by fears-fears of
nameless evils and of dire ealam-
tiles. Yet, did they but know it,
the misfortune that is most likely
to beset their child and to mar
his future. is no terrifying 5uga-
bear, but a very simple thing ill

RESOLUTION.

At the Flood Control COnven.
N held at Jonesville, Louisiana
lgust 10Th, 1920, attended by a
rye number of citizens from
atahoula and adjacent Parishes
nd from Mississippi, the follow
hg resolution was introduced by
United States Senator Joseph E
eansdell and unanimously adop
led, to-wit:
Whereas, during every high
water season in the Mississippi
River a large volume of water
flows through the seven mile gap
at the lower end Of the Fifth Lou
isiana Levee District system, from
Point Breeze to the mouth of Red
River, and through Red or Old
River, resulting in the overflow
of 2700 square miles-nearly two
million acres Of the most fertile
lands in the valley-in the par
ishes of Rapides, AvoyeIles, St
Landry, La Sale. Catahoula, Con
cordia, st. Martin, Iberia, St
Mary, Point Coupee, West Baton
Rouge, Iberville, Ascension, AS
sumption, Lafourche and Terre-
bonnie:
And, whereas every outlet from
the Mississippi River to the Gulf,
located above the city Of New Or
leans, except that through Old
River and the adjacent gap in the
levee system has been closed, the
last being the outlet at the head
of Tensas Basin Levee District at
ANGUS Bayou and Cypress Creek,
Arkansas, work on which will be
finished this year; and there are
no hesitancy by the State or the
Nation in closing such important
natural outlets as Bayou Man
chas, Plaquemines and Lafourche,
and such artificial outlets as those
caused by crevasses in the levees
at Ashton, Salem, Holly Brook,
Biggs, Diamond Island, Kempe,
Lake st. John and Bougere in the
Fifth Louisiana Levee District,
Morganza, Scott and Hickey in
the Atchafalaya Basin Levee Dis
trict, and Davis, Hymelia and
Amesville in the Lafourche Basin
Levee District, although some OF
these outlets diverted from the
main river for extended periods
of time as large if not larger
volumes of water than now es-
capes through Red River and the
unleveed stretch from there to
Point Breeze:
And, whereas every principal OF
justice and fair play requires that
the the citizens of Louisiana
whose lands are ruined by the aw-
full floods pouring from the Miss
issippi into the basin of the Black,
Red, and Atchafalaya rivers
should be treated the same as
other Louisianians:
And. whereas in the opinion of
the Mississippi River Commission
and many eminent engineers and
laymen it is feasible to close said
gap and divorce the Red from the
Mississippi at reasonable cost,
without imposing too great a
strain upon the levees Of the
lower river, provided they are
first materially strengthened, and
the task of separating the two
streams is carried on slowly, so
that the channel of the lower riv-
er may adjust itself to the III
creased volume: but there isl
great difference of opinion as to
when the work Of enforcement
be undertaken, how rapid
Nv IL should be prosecuted what
