TURKEY CARVED BY THE ALLIES

The land of Turkey has been as
completely carved as an American
turkey is carved on Thanksgiving
Day. Three-fourths of it's territory
and one-half Of its population being
taken away. England, France, Italy
and Greece, all take slices off the old
Turkish empire until not even the
drum sticks and the breast are left.
The Turks will be confined to small
area in Asia Minor and few square
miles near Constantinople. The Turks
are getting paid in part for the cruel
treatment of the Armenians.

pIoyes of the shipping board Is feature OF
the tragic situation. which in some respects Is
the worst OF all For example, when congress
appropriated the snug sum Of $sS,O00o0O ior
the old shipping board for the fiscal year end
ing June 90 1921 it was told that that covered
the boards operations. AS a matter OF TACT
the cost OF these operations was $SSO,ooo'oVo'
nearly four times much
The vast sum of nearly $500, 900, 600 has got
to be made up this year. at time when every
effort OF the government is being directed TO-
ward economy. Chairman Lasker very char
itably absolves certain officials Of the old ship
ping board from blame for the bookkeeping
system on the ground that 1.-THE system has
been in use from the start, begun under war
pressure and continued in Incompetence.
Well. if the officials of the old shipping
board are not responsible for continuing an in
adequate war-system for nearly three years
after the war was ended, who is responsible!
That is what the taxpaying public wants to
know.
1t is obvious that the responsibility for this
reckless if not criminal waste Of public money
lies somewhere. Lets have congressional
investigation" did we hear somebody suggest!
For goodness sake spare US such farce.
congressional investigation would mean that at
the end of a year would get partisan
report which would be absolutely Ineffective.
This seems to be a case which calls for in
vestigation and action by federal grand jury
If there has been crime, the criminals must
be found and punished. If there has been
merely recklessness, carelessness and stupid
ity the least that can be done is to drive the
reckless, careless and stupid from the public
service.

Making People Think.

1t is related when Theodore n. Vail had
built up the telephone service all over the coun-
try to a point where more business needea,
he started in to advertise the telephone-to
show its everyday usefulness and wide service
to the people. He showed how the telephone
could be used instead of letter-instead OF a
telegram-instead of personal call, or trip
to another city
While this campaign under way one
of the board of directors is reported to have
said to Mr.. Vail: Vail, what's the idea of
spending all the money in advertising instead
of in dividends? Advertising is all right for
things people don't know about-but everybody
knows about the telephone"
Yes" answered Vail. Everybody knows
about the telephone. Bat, damn it, they don't
know about it enough. If l can make them
think about it oftener they'll use it oftener."

Candy and Booze.

One OF the great hotels OF this country in
page advertisements states that its candy shop
Ii much more profitable than its tap room ever
was. The same story comes from many diff
ferent sources. The great increase in con-
sumption of sugar has been due in large part
I'd popularity of candy. Some of the most ex-
pensive leases in Chicago's loop district in re-
cent months have been made by candy shops
whose popularity appears to be permanent
Satisfaction with prohibition grows these
facts become part Of every day knowledge
The hotel certainly has no reason to complain
when it is able to advertise as one of its fea-
lures candy shop that is more profitable than
its bar was. The property owner has cause
for deploring a situation which brings him in
creased rents from business that is respect
able and involves him in no dangers from per-
Eonal injury suits

The commissioner of public safety in an
eastern city recommends the woodshed treat
ment as a remedy for juvenile delinquency.
The woodshed treatment is one of the lost arts.
1t was quite extensively cultivated in the earl
Ter days, but for the past 80 years has gone into
disuse SO that the present generation is at a
loss to know what it means.
For exact knowledge application would have
to be made to old fellows who had practical
experience of the woodshed treatment when
they were boys. 1t is very probable that none
would deny it the benefits they have received
from it. The basic principle of this treatment
is parental care and solicitude. 1t is founded
in affection. 1t is the opposite of parental in
diligence and parental mollycoddling. Its mot
toes are: Children, obey your parents" and
Spare the rod and spoil the child. Who that
has felt the rod of discipline venerates any
less the memory of the parent on account Of
just chastisement for fragrant disobedence?

Hard water and Soft Arteries.

VI
One OF the popular myths is that
drinking water that is very hard,
by reason of a high calcium or
lime content, is factor OF prema-
ture hardening of the arteries.
An exceptionally hard drinking
water contains as much as three or
four grains of lime in a gallon.
Few persons drink more than a
gallon of water day. Everybody
who takes at least one square meal
a day takes several times as much
lime as a gallon of the hardest
drinkable water would contain, in
the form of such limerick foods as
milk, cheese, eggs, cabbage, tur-
nips, prunes, oranges, beans, oat-
meal, peanuts, almonds, chocolate,
carrots and other cereals, fruits
and vegetables.
Even though it may be true that
calcium of lime salts are deposited
in the wall of the artery in the late
or advanced stage of arterioscle-
that should not be Inexperienced.
1t is rather a secondary occurrence
and not a primary one. If there is
any fault in the calcium or lime
intake of the ordinary civilized man
it is rather a deficiency of lime in
his food and drink.
In certain instances there may
be good reason for avoiding the
drinking of hard water and using
distilled water or other soft water
instead, but only when the pa
TENTS physician deems it neces-
sary. AS general rule, no mat
ter how hard the water may be or
how much lime it may contain, we
need not worry about any fancied
i'll effects from drinking it freely.
