A SHAMEFUL RELIEF RECORD

The New Republic: For the relief of
Poland, Armenia and Austria the
house Of representatives has finally
taken action. The measure it has,
however, is entirely inadequate. At
least $125,O00,000 is needed, accord
ing to the most conservative expert
estimates. The house has had before
it a bill permitting use Of $50,O00,00O
of the funds of the grain corporation
for relief work. AS finally adopted,
even this sum is struck out, and the
bill provides instead that the grain
corporation may sell for cash or credit
{ 5 ,O0O,O 900 barrels of surplus flour.
What is surplus flour" Flour of so
low a grade it cannot be sold in this
country. Well, it will save lives, new
ertheless. But is this the best Amer
lea can do? There were only twelve
votes against the adopted measures.
Yet for seven weeks after the ways
ana means committee gave, approval,
leaders Of the house delayed action,
watching, presumably for the politi-
cal effessss OF the proposal it is a
record Of which we all must feel a
shamed.

SOUND OF THE WHISTLE

with the opening of farm work
this spring the farmers of the country
are facing an acute shortage of help
that ere the summer is over may de-
velope into a serious crisis with wide
spread and possibly disastrous results
upon production, methods OF farming
and food prices"
Thus Harry R. o. O'Brien sums UP
the situation he found wide can
vass of the Corn Belt and adjacent
states, in The Country Gentleman of
April 18th.
Things will be just as bad as long
as we live within sound of the whis-

farm hands in my community have
gone to work in the factories. They

WHY NOT THE GOLDEN RULE?

Mexican Review: A new element
has been injected into the discussion
of the question What is the matter
with the world?" by several prom
inent public men. The question is
being threshed out from all stand
points and from all sides, but without
avail, as every day sees the world
more and more the victim of selfish
ness of the most sordid character,
coupled with the most utter disregard
of the rights and feeling of others
All sorts of remedies are proposed,
some are tried and all with the same
result-failure. Now come those re-
ferred to at the outset with the sug-
gestion that all that is needed is the
injection of the Golden Rule into ev-
cry day business and public life, as
it is supposed to be in private life.
If those engaged in business, large or
small, would make it their rigid rule
Of conduct Ito do unto others as they
would that others should do unto
them;" if communities and nations
would adopt this same rule, how long
would it be before conditions would
be as they should, the insane struggle
for wealth or position at no matter
what cost to others would be aban-
doned, life would be what the Gre
ator meant it should be, happiness
and contentment for all Pretty much
every other remedy has been tried,
with what success the world presents
a lamentable reply today. Why not,
just for period try the Golden Rule :?
1t can do no harm, and we have good
authority that the result will be be-
yound the imagination.

OLIVE-GROWING CENTERS

Of all the olive growing lands Spain
is the most important in the total
yield of oil, and is by nature one of
those best fitted to fill its own large
demand and furnish an increasing
supply for. export. Italy, the second
olive-oil producing country in Europe
has an area planted in olives about Il
third greater than Spain has, but its
yield in normal years is smaller. The
French area under cultivation is con-
fined to the Mediterranean coast, and
is reported to be decreasing, since
greater profits are obtained from witt
culture. 1t is asserted that in recent
years 10000 hectares Of olives groves
have been turned into vineyards in
France. Tunis and Algeria are de-
clared to offer better prospects for
olive raising than does French terri
tory in Europe.

Therefore the great danger of clean
ing garments with gasoline in the
home. If done, the rooms should be
thoroughly ventilated and kept free
from sparks or flames. Even the
friction on the clothing may gen.
crate spark which will cause an ex-
plosion.
Gasoline should never be stored in
the house even when contained in safe
ty cans. The can should always be
plainly marked gasoline"
The use of gasoline in stoves is so
dangerous that the government in
recent report recommends kerosene
and other forms of fuel as a substi-
tute. When in use, the tank should
never be filled while the stove is in
operation.
Running an engine in a garage is Ii
able to generate a deadly gas which
often causes sickness, and may cause
death. Recently a prominent actor
died from this cause.

WOMEN AND WAGE FARMERS.

The statement was made recently
at one of our educational conventions
that "men nowadays want wives who
can make dollars as we'll as dough-
nuts" The federal board for vocation

problem, is of the opinion, however,
that the modern woman, to be the per-

married, and assumes that it is but
fair to say that as large a proportion
of the girls under twenty years of age
will eventually marry. From the above
it would seem that man need not fear
the entrance of woman in industry
for, by tradition and instinct, home
making is betterment of society, pro-
lection of human life, and for the hap
niness and welfare of mankind.

GASOLINE EXPLOSIONS

Gasoline gives off vapors at an or
binary temperature which are heav-
Ter than air and therefore settle near
the floor. Opening a window will not
always remove such gases.
When these gases, in quantities
from IN per cent to per cent,
become mixed with air, a violent ex-
plosion may occur if spark or flame
is brought near.

THE HEAD NURSE SAYS:
KEEP THE BALANCE

The physical life OF the body is a
constant fight between the forces
of construction and destruction.
We do not die "all at once" Rather
we succumb when the kataboIlc
(destructive) changes go on more
rapidly than the anaboIic (con-
structive) work Of cell production.
This does not mean that the ka-
tabolic changes should not go on
but merely that the balance must
be kept to spell health.
DR.. Simon Patten writing on the
various elements in the process of
building and destroying says:
Every revolution in the transi-
ton from infancy to manhood is
marked on it's physical side by the
growth of muscle and gland which
finds conscious expression in
heightened emotional pulse. -Four
elements enter into this katabolic
activity and may therefore be
called the katabolic foods. in con-
trast to milk which is the build
ing or anabolic food. These ka-
tabolic foods are sugar, oxygen,
water and excitement Oxygen
purifies the< blood. Water, more
water, is the ever growing demand
of the katabolic activity And
finally the bodily organs will not
work to their full capacity except
under some excitement. A lowered
activity means the failure of some
organ to do its part. A strenuous
life is the only life which brings
out all its possibilities. Vivid OBJ
stsrles dangers and goals are need
ed to arouse the full activity OF
which a person is capable
Exercise and cell destruction are
thus necessary adjuncts to health
and with them come the growth OF
muscle and bone.
