AuNT pINAH. ECONOMIST.

The hardest job in business is to get
people TO eat q new kind Of food.
Parmentier found that out. He was
the fellow who taught the world to eat
potatoes, 135 years ago. Before then,
nearly all potatoes We're fed to pigs.
Parmentier was a shrewd psycholo-
gists which means he knew how to
iuggle with vanity and curiosity.
First, he got Paris dudes to wear po-
tato blossoms in their coat lapels.
That started folks talking. aroused in
terest.
Then he invited Ben Franklin to a
potato dinner. got Ben to make a few
wise remarks, which editors printed.
But Parmentier's ables ally was the
French chef who concocted choice
ways of preparing potatoes to tickle
the palate The chef established the po-
tato eating business after his boss
knowledge that, if you get folks re-
ally interested in anything, they soon
want to taste it.
BY the same process Hugh Pads
dington. London glutton, added white
wheat flour to mans bill of fare in
1919.
What the American corn farmers
need, instead Of government financial
aid in handling the surplus corn crop,
is to recruit an army of cooks and
send them to Europe to spread the
gospel of how to turn corn into a dish
cit for the gods.
Russia is out OF the wheat market.
That has boosted the price of wheat
and destroyed the old price ratio of
wheat selling for 81 a bushel while
corn went at SO cents and oats at 40
cents bushel
Farmers are Smelling corn and pack
ing it in oat bins to make room for
the new crop, which is whopper, far
above normal.
Corn exports are running about 3d.
000, 600 bushels a year, but that's just
a drop in the bucket alongside crop
Of s,100, 900 bushels. Instead Of
sending wheat to the starving of Rus
STA and central Europe, we should be
sending them corn. That would take
care of the surplus.
At the Paris exposition, the great
sensation was an aged colored woman
who cooked and served free corn grid
die cakes, corn pone and other choice
"vittles."
What she did on a small scale, a
regiment of cooks could do on big
scale.
The way to solve the surplus corn
problem is to teach people how to
cook corn so it tastes good.
Farmers! Recruit an army of Aunt
Dinahs. and let them carry the gospel
10 Europe Incidentally. they'd do more
to relieve the corn situation than the
War Finance board.

AN uNsleHTLY PLAcE

/ Residents of the southeastern pari
Of the city, in the neighborhood Of st
Michaeps cemetery, are experiencing
conditions which would remind them
OF German gas attack, provided they
had ever faced the Boches. The fumes
from the city dumping ground, with
the clouds of smoke which are waited
on the fall winds are sickening ia
! the passerby, who speeds up his. road
ster to try to beat the nauseating at
mosphere for which the burning garb-
age is responsible.
The city has two incinerators. one
! in the western and one in the south
eastern part Of the city, both of which
are capable of consuming a vast
amount Of garbage, provided they
were kept in repair.
! The excuse given for the conditions
that exist in the neighborhood near
the two incinerators, is that these are
not capable OF handling all the CITY
refuse. Anyone who will visit these
dumping grounds and make even a
cursory examination, will be convinced
that the main reason that the city
burns its garbage in the open air in
stead of in the plant which was pur-
chased by the city. is that the in
Generator is not kept in good repair
and is not used to it's capacity. It
is easier to dump the cans and refuse
on the ground. pour over them the
tar oil which is used TO ignite them,
and then set them afiame waiting
their nauseous fumes throughout the
lneighborhood where the people who
are forced to maintain homes must
endure the unhealthful odors.
One excuse given is that at one time
the board Of health suggested that the
marshy ground which was in the
neighborhood Of the city plant might
be filled in with refuse. III such a
suggestion was made. anyone who will
visit that neighborhood and make ex-
lamipation Will be convinced that such
q necessity no longer exists, and that
il the incinerator were put in repair
and used as it should be it would
not be necessary to have such an eye
sore to confront people who pass
through the neighborhood and to in
fiiet the odors on those who make
their homes there
The fact that some of the people
who reside in that section are OF
humble origin and do not complain.
rs no reason for such conditions.
Every resident OF Pensacola, no mat
ter who he may be or what his sta
ton, has a right to expect the same
consideration as the man who counts
his thousands. And the city Is not
giving him a square deal as long >as
it continues to burn its garbage in
the open when the incinerators go to
ruin from lack of use and attention.
Nor is the nuisance confined to the
people of that immediate neighbour
hood. The strong winds from the bay
blow the fumes inland and they are
carried over that entire section OF the
town. # this were a necessary evil.
Il might be countenanced. But that
IL is not necessary viii be patent to
anyone who visits the plants, which
are capable OF bur ning the city garb-
age provided it was collected every.

Common Sense Ways to
Keep Well
A LEAKING HEART.
BY DR.. r. H. BISHOP

Statistics show that heart disease
kills more people annually than do
either tuberculosis or cancer. Inyes-
tigation indicates, too. that a great
many of the cases of heart disease now
occurring are preventable.
Under favorable conditions a leaky
heart. which Is one Of the forms Of
heart disease term quite inclusive
can be SO treated that the effect II
the trouble will not be felt until old
age.
Men with sound hearts probably can
afford to live lazy lives converting
their muscles into putty. but the man
with lealxy heart must keep his mus
cles in trim If he would live long
In the case Of a leaking heart, some
sof the blood that should be pumped
into the arteries leaks out through the
tiny outlets not intended for that pur-
pose ana so the heart must repump
some of the blood each beat. This re-
quires good red muscle.
A good red heart muscle Is not pos
sible to keep without first keeping
the arm and leg and shoulder muscles
big and strong. Then, too, the man
with leaky heart has to eat enough
good nourishing food to keep his mus
cles well nourished, but he cannot eat
indigestible foods. for this calls upon
the heart for more action.
He cannot afford to indulge In fool
ish eating as man with a strong
heart and a cast-iron stomach thinks
he can do.
There are various forms OF exer-
else which a man with a leaking heart
can take. He must have some form IF
exercise or he cannot keep his muscles
in trim. He can play tennis, ride
horse or swim. But these must be en-
tered into moderately. He must re-
spect his wind and pot make heavy
drain on his heart.
If he feels his heart pounding in his
chest. or in his throat and is panty"
he should stop Immediately, The man
has gone too far in his exercise when
ever he finds these symptoms. He Is
doing himself harm rather than good
by such action.
The important thing to remember
about leaky heart is that It Is all
right as long as It is strong enough TO.
supply the extra demand for blood
which IS called for because of the leak.
Building up the wind Is one of the
best ways to do this and for this rea-
son It is that exercises should be taken
in moderation.

GREED THE ROOT CAUSE or
UNEMPLOYMENT.
BY URBAN j. LEDoUx

WASHINGTON Oct. 6.--The most
pitiable side of our unemployment
wave is not the number Of unemployed
but the extreme suffering of the com
parative few who are without work.
I believe the extremity Of their suf-
fering is without precedent in our
history.
That's why I conducted the auctions
Of unemployed in Bostorh which
aroused nationwide attention.
That's why 1 fed jobless meTfin New

science.
That's why / am in WashiN ton to
tell our national officials th&t these
men need immediate aid, not lengthy
fluctuations and surveys.
Greed and selfishness are the causes
Of employment today-greed Of en-
ployers and greed of the extreme ele-
rnents Of organized workingmen. The
world, from nations down to individu-
ais, has been poisoned by greed.
World War ProfiSeers.
If this is overcome, the root cause
Of unemployment will be overcome.
That's why have suggested that OIL.
government publish list Of war pre-
fiteers unless they go $3.50 with the
jobless.
President Harding-who feels the
misery of the unemployed very keealy
told me such publication would he
unlawful So l have suggested that
list of those who do go $3.50 be pub
ushed. No one could object to that.
But before many days have passed
/ shah have introduced in congress O
bill empowering the president to pub

senator and several members or the
house who will aid ma
however intense the suffering Of
the unemployed they are not the most
to be pitied. The most deserving CT
pity are the public. They have lost
conscience. Never has humanity been
nor callous toward the suffering (
its fellows than today.
The hunger and nakedness OF the
unemployed is not the worst phase Of
their suffering. Far worse Is their loss
Of hope in self and confidence IN the
public.
Would Halt Bread Line.
These two things-callousness Of the
public md loss OF confidence by the
unemploy ed-cannot come before the
official conference on unemployment.
They can't be worked out in figures
That's why I should like to repre-
sent the unemployed at the confer
ence. A committee of unemployed in
Boston and New York has askel M
to do so. But / must first have off,
cial sanction. shall not intrude.
Remember, that the unemployed,
those most directly affected. are not
now in any way represented at the
Washington conference.

New York, but / do not believe IN

individual and community ! am adopt
ing them as temporary measure. But
my eventual aim is to make them I'M
possible.
