THE REALLY VITAL ISSUE

party candidates in the municipal
elections recently held in the larger
Iowa cities, says the Dispatch Of Erie,
Pa. should carry a note Of warning
to the politicians Of the old parties.
They Indicate the present trend Of
| public mind and show that the people
are thinking more about profteering
high taxes, government extravaganza
high living costs and those things
which hit them directly than they are
about bolshevism, Shantung and other
matters pertaining to international
relations
The subject of British votes in the
League of Nations doesn't make half
the appeal that $40 for shoes Or SIS
for suit Of business clothes does to
the average citizen, and it is the aver
age citizen who is going to cast the
vote that counts at the next election
If the old parties get down to hard
pan and devote their attention to
those things which are really inter-
esting the people they will get the
popular attention If they do not
then they must expect that the peo-
pie VIII very plainly, and even bluntly,
indicate to the politicians what they
want and what they are determined to
have
Already they are doing it in Iowa
and Iowa is only one Of forty eight
sovereign states. It's just a hint, per-
haps, but it is a very broad hint and
one which the politicians will do well
to take into careful and prayerful con
sideration when they come to construct
their platforms.
The issues" which are nearest to
the plain people are those which on
the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day" are going to decide the lection
and the sooner the politicians Of the
old parties accept the fact the sooner
they will place themselves in line
with popular desires.
It IS "a condition and not a theory
which confronts them 1t should be
met frankly,

BARK ON TREES NOT WOOD
II is Composed Of Three Layers Of lis
sues, Each Of Which Has impor
tant Function.

Bark on trees and shrubs corre-
spends with skin on animals. But II
has other uses which the skin hasn't.
Bark isn't wood. and II isn't formed
as wood Is formed. II covers the wood.
and II Is generally an easy mater to
separate the bark from the rood.

the outside covering Of certain vege-
table growths.
Bark Is composed Of three layers
Of tissues. The inside layer conducts
food to the plant. and under mag
nifying glass Is seen to be made up
Of tiny fbers. Then there Is the "green
zone" as II Is called. and this also Is
nbrous. and helps feed the plant. The
outside layer Is cork, and is really
dead. That Is. these cork cells devel-
op and die Immediately. so one really
sees only dead tree when he looks
at the bark. The cork OF commerce
Is the bark OF a certain kind OF trop-
ical tree, but the outer layer Of bark
Of all trees II technically known as
cork. and the little cells going to make
II up are called cork.

SOMETHING IN YOUR eye7
There Are q Few Simple Rules for the
Removing Of Irritating
3 Partielea

Though many people have become
expert in the art Of removing irritat-
ing particles from the eyes Of others,
few words on this subject will not
DO out Of place. In removing n for.
elgn particle from the eye. ask the pa
tient to look down, and then take hold
OF the eyelash with thumb and fore
finger of the left hand and pull the eye
I'D downward and slightly away from
the eyeball. Next evert. or turn back,

the eyelashes and cyeball the tip of the
thumb OF the right hand and make the
same movement that would be re-
qulred to turn back the edge Of coat

II the particle Is located on the In.
terror Of the upper lid 1t may be re-
moved with a clean handkerchief or
a piece of clean cotton placed on the
end OF toothpick or match. II the
Irritating substance Is not on the upper
lid try TO find Il In the same manner
on the lower lid and remove It In the
same way. When the particle Is i'm
bedded In the cornea. or covering OF
the eyebaIl, II is best to consult ply
siclan or eye specialist. After 'remov-
ing the particle from the eye II Is ad-
visable to irrigate the delicate mem

Under no circumstances should any
one touch the eye with handkerchief
or other agent that has been moIs.
tened with saliva or with the tip of the
tongue.
In treating the eyes with some kind
Of liquid medicine one should take care
never to invert the dropper after the
solution has been drawn into the
rubber end downward and the fluid
permitted to run into the rubber and
then back into the glass a. the solution
will very likely contain particles Of
powder that have washed on the rub
Der bulb. and these may irritate the
eyes. Always hold up the rubber end
Of the dropper. Tho fluid should never
be dropped directly on the eyeball I'M
less the physician has so advised.
The proper practice Is to draw down
the lower lid and place the drops on
the exposed inner surface Of the lid.
One or two drops are always sufficient
and It is only waste to use more

(By Rev. VIM. James.l
The world today needs the preacher
more than the policeman.
Do as much as possible and talk Of
Yourself as little as possible,
No denomination has a monopoly
on religion.
Worry poisons the mind just as
sure as drugs poison the body Jesus
said: Cast all your care upon me"
The great secret Of happiness is
Jesus. IF you have the blues, if you
feel discouraged, fix your eyes upon
Jesus.
You must look upward before you
can "hitch your wagon to star"
When you are in doubt, always tell
the truth.
There isn't any trouble with the
world today; it's the people in it.
A grumbler said to Christian
Endeavorer: This is miserable
world; could make a better one my
self" "That's right" said the
brother "get out and do it; that's
what we're here for"
Love makes palace out Of a shack,
The lack Of it makes shack out OF
a palace.
Some people start the day with the
desire to do something; some with the
desire to do somebody and some with
the desire to do nothing.

commensurate, with the increase 0.

In view of these conditions and cir
