ED HOWE FOR NATIONAL COURT
FOOL.

The greatest of country editors-Ed
Howe, Of Atchison, Kansas-has been
reviewing American history. He de-
cides that every president should have
a court fool. with free run of the White
House. This man should be the pres
ident,s most conspicuous and venom
GUS enemy. Mr.. Harvey, now ambas-
sador to the Court of ST. James, would
have made an excellent court fool
during the eight years of the Wilson
era"
Not bad idea. The function of
court fools was to poke fun at their
imperial masters, with particular en-
phasis in ridiculous doings and Gus
toms Of nobility. They served as bal
ance-wheeL Triboulet, Scogan, Klaus
Narr and other court fools We're such
keen philosophers that they were con-
suited on all important matters and
became great historical characters.
Grover Cleveland came the closest.
Of all presidents, to having a court
fool, by his correspondence with Pc
troleum ". Nasty, the humorist.
A court fool Is badly needed now

A DAILY MESSAGE
~ pR. WILLIAM z. BARTON
A NATION OF NoMAps

of the great northwest was large tracts
and subdivisions wholly built Up Of
modest, neat and inexpensive homes.
saw women working among their
own flowers. and men returning from
the office, and moving their own little
lawns. It did my heart good.
What does it mean when a man and
his wife invest in modest home OF
this character, instead Of living In
flat? It means healthfua exercise.
It means economy. II means pride
and a sense of ownership. It means
acquaintance with the families on both
sides and across the street. 1t means
neighbors. It means homes. Tt means
.permanence OF planning. It means a
sense of responsibility, It means a
better type of citizenship.
One Of the greatest perits OF Amer
lea today IS her flats.
They are necessary But they are
destructive OF home life and OF true
neighborIiness.
Many thousands Of good people live
in flats. But no reform that touched
the heart OF any great problem ever
has been wrought mainly by the fiat
dweller. The flat-dweller never re-
forms anything. He moves. The man
who seriously sets out to make the
neighborhood better is the man who
has some plan 70 stay there.
The ancient religions We're terrific
rial. Even the Old Testament proph-
cts supposed that they fled from the
presence Of Jehovah when they sailed
as far as Tarshish. Their singers
could not sing Jehovah's song IN a
strange land
We know better than that. Never
theless. we shall not eliminate wholly
from our very religion a sense Of its
relation TO permanence Of residence.
We are in danger Of becoming a
nation Of nomads. II we do become
such a nation. religion and good cit
izet ship win both decline.
The man who is paying for a l3ma
instead Of paying rent to Landlord
is under bonds to keep the peace.

India, South America, and other parts
| of the non-European world, to dispose
of their raw materials.
Unable to find an outlet in Europe.
the raw materials of the world were
concentrated upon the United States.
Our manufacturing capacity, ex-
panded though it had been by the war,
was wholly inadequate to take care
of so great a mass of raw materials,
and there came a great collapse in
raw material prices.
EUROPE FARMING
European revival since the war has
been more manifest in agriculture
than in manufacturing, and in 1920 we
exported far less of foods to Europe
than we had been exporting in the
years Immediately preceding.
The throwing back on our domestic
markets of a great volume of food
products broke the prices of foods also
very violently.
With the break in price of foods
and raw materials, the buying power
of the producers of foods and raw ma
terials was so greatly eurtailed that
they could not buy at prevailing prices
tured goods which even the reduced
manufacturing capacity of the world
was turning out, and there came
crisis for the manufactures also.
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
The trouble was not, however over
production. The world is producing
far less than it produced before the
war in aggregate. The trouble is mall
adjustment due to Europe's withdraw
al from her position as the worlds
great market for foods and raw mate
rails.
A really fundamental solution of the
present business problems, therefore
must involve aiding Europe to get
back upon her feet and to resume her
place as the great manufacturing CEN
ter.
REAL REMEDY
There are many American manu-
facturers who are apprehensive of Eu-
opean competition, and notably of Ger
man competition. They are urging
that high tariff barriers be erected to
prevent the influx of foreign goods.
But the most welcome thing that
could come about, the thing that would
promise most for a real revival, would
be a real and vigorous increase in
imports to the United States Of Euro 4
pean manufacturers.
1t would start the circle Of trade
going again.

THE FINANCIAL MARKET

NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The railroad
labor situation ceased to be a factor
of more than passing Importance in
the stock market today, although
transportation shares again were rela-
lively backward in the broad and ac-
tive dealings.
Speculative interest converged
around the oils, that group dominat-
ing the movement from the outset
Mexican Petroleum, as a result of its
favorable semi-annual statement OF
earnings, made q wide opening of
5000 shares at a maximum advance
of four half points, subsequently in
creasing its gain to six points, only
half of which was retained at the
finish.

We're higher by one to four points at

classified miscellaneous issues, scored

standing the poor statement of Cen

Some of the steels were moderately
strong, but tnaI DIVISION reflected Oc-
casional pressure arising from antfci-
patton of an unfavora.bIe statement by
United States Steel The steel report,
issued after the close of the market,
showed that no part of the common
dividend had been earned, and that it
was necessary to draw on the undi-
vided surplus to meet the full require
ments of the preferred stock.
Call money opened at IL per cent,
but advanced to six on an increased
demand at midday, the higher rate
holding to the close. Brokers re-
ported small offerings of time funds,
for which quotations were unaltered.
Sterling demand bills were quoted
as high as 1886 II, the top figure for
almost six months, and francs and lire
also improved, but the remainder of
the remittance list showed irregularity.

To eliminate these causes requires
first, an Improvement in resistance

health in all possible ways.
Second, a dietary rich in calcium,
is required so as to make sure Of a
high calcium content of the saliva.
Such a diet includes an abundance
of greens and fresh vegetables. Whole
wheat cereals should be substituted
for foodstuffs as fine flour, hominy,

Third. the teeth should be brushed
not only on arising in the morning

after each meal
Fourth laxative foodstuffs should be
included in the dietary in order to keep
free of constipation. If necessary ag-

in some form.
