STOP EATING POTATOES.

It is suggested that the public stop eating po-
tatoes. Eating peacocks' tongues no longer
ranks as an anti-social act but devourlng the
once humble tuber comes among the new sins
Odd, too, that the war on potatophagy should
be declared in the farmers interest. Does he
not plant spuds and have certain interest N
encouraging the reprehensible habit OF consum-
ing them, selling as he does his product to the
consumers? Yes, but, as aforesaid, these are
topsy -turvy times Potatoes have gone very
high. It becomes doubtful whether farmers
can afford to buy seed potatoes for their plant
ing, or resist selling their necessary reserve
when they have done SO.
The consumer would deHghtedly do without
potatoes. They have become Injuries, in price,
and he wants to drop Injuries. But almost
every food price sign conveys to hun an equally
earnest invitation not to buy that kind Of food
Let those who do not want him to buy potatoes
offer him better value in substitute they
want his instant and earnest obedience.

WHEH KoalH IS NERVOUS -KoRRlED


The lives Of most women are
full Of worry. Mems troubles are
bad enough, but women's are
worse. Worry makes women SICK.
It pulls them down, and in their
weakened condition they are SUBJ
iect to pains, aches, weakness, back
aches, headaches and dizzy spells.
Most women neglect their health,
and for this they pay the penalty.
Any woman will find that neglect
does not pay. A little more atten-
ton to health would brighten up
her life. If she asks her neighbors
she finds that DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription benefits a woman's
whole system. It not only acts
upon the troubles and weaknesses
peculiar to women, but is an all
round tonic that braces the entire
body, overcoming nervousness,
sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness
and rundown condition.
DIXON, NEBR.-SFor the young girl
developing into womanhood there is
nothing better than Doctor Pierce's
Fayorite Prescription as a tonic and
builder. At that time of my life was
sadly in need of something to strengthen
and build me up and found just the
tonic I needed in the Prescription. /

UNLAWFUL GAIN.

A Buffalo New York, retail clothing concern
has been fined eighteen thousand dollars upon
conviction on the charge of having marked its
prices up one hundred and fifty per cent. The
lne might, under the Lever law, have been III
teen times as great. Judge Hazel said In pass
ing sentence that in his opinion the prices We're
unreasonable and showed wifulness on the
part Of the corporation to take advantage OF the
situation and make unlawful gain 1t is there
fore the essence Of profteering, as judicaally
declared, to take advantage of circumstances IN
which people must have things and make them
pay double prices or as much as they will. On
articles Of luxury, pearls or paintings or the
like, which people can get along without, deal
ers can put their own price; though deliberate
Misrepresentation of the value of an artlcle-a
Jewel for example would render the seller Ii
able at law.

RAILROAD EXPENSES

In the process of getting complete survey
of facts before the interstate commerce com
mission the comparative operation costs OF the
years 1917 and 1919 are given in the current
Issue of the Railway Age. They answer the
query put by unthinking critics Of railroad man
age1nent as to why If the government increased
railroad expenses, private management does not
reduce them Expenses In December, 1917,
were at the rate of s3oO, O,ooo, 600 year while in
January, 1920, they had reached rate OF $780,
OO0, 800 year Wages paid in 1917 were 1885,
100000; in January, 1919, 25S,0o0,ooo, an in
crease of 68 per cent. Cost of fuel, materials
and supplies in 1917 was $ee,oo0,oo0; in Janu-
uy, 1919, $157, ,o0o, 900, an increase of 60 per
cent Moreover, the increase in the payroll
was IN part due to Che eight-hour day which
made employment Of 25O,00O more workers ne
cessary and is matter of federal law. In one
particular, however, there seems possibility Of
overcoming part Of the increased expenses by
greater efficiency. It is shown that the amount
of traffic handled by the increased number Of
employees is considerably less per capita than
before the increase This condition can and
must be changed in public interest. But to ex-
pect private management to effect economies
that contradict government enactments is to
expect the impossible.

ons and the bleeding cup. The pana-
cea is still an elusive quality, how
ever. And in this connection it may
be remembered that one of the great
est Physicians of them all once said:
''This is the way; walk ye in 1t,
and he healed without medicine by
using law which he said time and
again other could use If they grasped
or understood His teachings. It
seems, therefore. natural to assume
that there is stin much to learn IN
the way of positive, unfailing
method OF healing, Notwithstanding
the magnificent and brilliant progress
that has been made through the CEN
turies by that honored class OF men
who represent what is known as the
regular school, of physicians.

SENATOR cUMMlNs.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The senior
senator has achieved great victory
at the primary election; greater than
surface indications would suggest.
There was an extraordinary combi-
nation Of disseminated elements and
political dyspeptics against the sena-
tor. 1t was not homogeneous
crowd; and now that It has spent it's
energies It has no coherency to hold
the temporary organization together.
Senator Cumins met the new but
preposterous issues braVely. He made
no concessions Of principle He made
an open and aggressive fight. He
labored under the disadvantage of
not being in robust health, brought
about by overwork in congress and
the great strain that fell upon public
officials during the war period and
the scarcely less strenuous work
since hostilities closed. But his
courage and his aggressiveness never
tagged The railway bill that bears
his name was the product of pro-
tracned study and diligent search for
an equitable basis for the settlement
of a veU intricate economic problem.
The senator now has the satisfaction
OF having h1s measure adopted by a
republican congress and now about
to be approved by a republican ma
tional convention. His reward Is
greater than that, for the Cummins
railway bull has the approval Of the
country regardless Of partisanship,
and It Is one of the vital steps to re-
store the productive and commercial
industrial forces OF the nation to nor
NAL conditions. That is a notable
achievement that will go down into
our national history, creditable to the
conserving good sense OF the Ameri
can people.

AVAE.As-E SUPPLY OF MANPoWER.

of the matter to the people will amount to moth
ing The league as he brought it back is dead
killed by the senate and American sentiment
and beyond elimination Of the nlnety-sN
senators, only twenty on the final vote were
willing to take the league without reservations,
and the personnel of the senate will not be ma
Iteaially changed this year. The terms of only
twelve senators expire, and if the adminlstra-
ition gained all these, rs it Is unlikely to gam
any of them, less than one-third of Che senate
would be for the treaty as the president brought
lit home Senator Walsh, of Montana, one Of
the ardent supporters of the president, 'tinds
