TOWN HAS FINE CATHEDRAL
Otherwise Sleepy Little Leon, In
Northern Spain, Has Nothing to
Attract Tourists.

Surrounded by its prosperous wheat
fields, the shabby little town Of Leon
in northern Spain seems peacefully In
different to its out-at-elbow appear
ance, and to the fact that its
streets are not enlivened By the hustle
Of modern industry. A few mule carts
rattle recklessly over the road, but
otherwise 1t might easily be Sunday
or a holiday and every one away from
home.
The humble dwellings Of the Leon
ese lie in the very shadow Of one Of
Europe's most wonderful cethedrals,
made possible By their ancestors gen.
erous gifts and wrought by q master.
The cathedral Is the center from
which radiates the tranquility and
harmony felt throughout the town. Its
spires and towers Of softly yellowed
stone rise in gracious welcome above
a mass of trees. A multitude Of win
dows give promise Of bright, sunlit
interior. Carved columns and figures
frame the portals, and quaint gar
goyles glover from hooks in the cor
nlces, as II to ward of all evil.
Inside, the hall is vast and silent,
lighted by scores Of stained glass win
dows. The maker Of the windows In
dulged his taste for bright and glow
ing color to an extent that would have
been disastrous In small church; but
through the sweeping length Of the
vaultsd nave the colors blend and fall
in soft, rich shades. In this sanctu-
airy of light rests the king who first
planned the cathedral and made Leon
n city Of wealth and palaces. Since
his day the city has been destroyed
and plundered and rebuilt. 1t never
again reached its former greatness.
but the kings cathedral rose from its
ashes, and stands now more beautiful
than the founder had planned.

FINEST OF ALL EATABLES
Ideal Food for Both Body and Brain
lie American Pie, According to
This Enthusiast.

This is the height Of the pie season
In all parts of the United States. Pie
plates in every household are juicy
with the good stuff between the crusty
roof and the less crusty foundation.
OF course, it will be said that 1t is
matter Of taste, but we speak for
green apple pie as the best OF the
seasons offerings.
Every day in the year is the height
of the pie season In New England. A
westerner who lived for year at
birmingham is on record as saying
that he had pie three times a day,
q times week, and-do the rest OF
the multiplying yourself-some thou
sand times In twelve-month. From
only one meal was pie missing, and
on that day the housewife, momentar-
fly careless, allowed the delectables
to be burned up in the oven, and the
neighbors were unable to lend because
they had just enough for themselves.
All sorts of shameful things have
been said about the New England pie.
It is just as good as middle western
pie, and no better, but this Is speak
ing in high praise of all the pastry
from Rhode Island to Maine, inclusive.
There are persons who say that EN-
erson, Whittier Longfellow, Holmes,
and Lowell, while they wrote well,
would have written better IL they had
cut out pie as steady diet. We do
not believe it, Pie is food for the
body and food for the brain. 1t is

One-Age Companies in Army.

"A new effort at classification of rockies" is
getting tryout at the Plattburg training camp
this fall Instead of associating the boys and
men who are present by towns or localities. as
has been the custom in the past, they are grouped
according to age. beginning with the l6-year-
olds, who represent the minimum iii years, and
grading up from that in years. Out OF this
has come the formation Of four provisional COM
panics described by their commander as being
"the friskiest lot of young soldiers that ever
capered in uniform" Also it is reported that
these youngsters are keener and more alert and
learn the routine of the soldiers trade more
quickly than do their elder brothers. 1t is easy
to account for both manifestations, they being
ascribable to the ebullient youth of the lads. A
boy of 16 has not been SO long subject to the
treadmill Of lifes activities as man of 80, and
therefore his mind is nearer the condition of
blank page on which is to be recorded the new
impressions of military drill and discipline.
Actual proof in warfare sustains the theory
that the boys are more daring and venturesome,
just as they are in civil life, but the elder are
the more dependable in the long run, for the rea-
son that they are seasoned, their steadfastness
being the result Of an orderly mind, just as the
lads dash and gallantry flow from the impulse
of unabashed youth. The one-age classification
has advantages resting on the fact that effort
will be less restrained for the reason that diff
6dence due to discrepancy in years will be abb
sent. Maybe the Plattsburg trainers have found
out something new about war.

Making Uplift Self-Supporting.

In his section of comment on the drifts OF at
fairs, Editor Glenn H. Frank OF the Century
Magazine cites the case Of the Players Guild OF
New York as an example OF self-supportng up
lifters This group of genuine devotees, artists,
actors, writers, musicians and managers, so con-
duct their business as to not only produce wor-
thy drama, but also at such rate as returns to
them modest but sufficient revenue. No philan-
thropy is connected with the venture, no wealthy
citizen donates to meet its deficit, it stands on
its own feet.
Contrasting this successful-so far at least
undertaking with some OF the subsidized "foun-
dations," Mr.. Frank finds reason for expressing
the hope that more worthy enterprises OF the
kind will come to active life. One Of his critical
remarks anent the endowed institution is that it
too frequently is devoted to the perpetuation OF
ideas of its founder. Some are free from the
dead hand" but most are restricted to the car
rying of Yesterdays ideas over into tomorrow or
the day after.
In the Survey Jeffrey r. Bracket, discussing
constructive charity, cites case where will
was made setting aside what seemed to be
modest amount to relieve distress among lin
tied class in two small towns. The property
from which the income is derived has increased
until its value is many times what it was when
the will was made, while the class Of persons in
tended to be benefited decreased, but the rigid
terms of the document bound its administrators,
who found steadily mounting surplus in their
possession which they were forbidden to dispose
of. A court order cut the bonds, but the incident
is illustrative Of great many.
What is needed is a more intensive study,
both of the foundation" and the charity trust,
in order that real good may flow from the bene-
factions that are now misdirected because of lack
of vision on part of the founder or benefactor.

Des Moines' Plight


Des Moines. a city OF Just about

The Des Moines people held out TOT

correct amount, and they considered
six. seven or eight cents extorton-
ate. The city council took the popu-
lar side Of the controversy and held
it until the street railway became
so involved in debt that 1t was
thrown into q receivership. Then
the courts took the case in hand and
ordered an eight-cent fare as the
only alternative to quitting the
business.

Elusiveness of Fortune.

One of the pathetic figures in modern fiction
is "No Creek Lee" in Rex Beach's story, The
Barrier" He was the only "sour dough" in all
Alaska who had not had creek named for him,
and this because he had never made strike.
Years Of patient effort and unremitting struggle
had brought him no reward, save the half-pity-
ing, half-derisive sobriquet.
His prototype in real life, from whom Beach
is said to have taken the idea, Con Van Alstyne,
is now reported to have been killed and probably
devoured by the wild beasts in the wilderness he
roamed so long and so futilely. 1t is told Of Van
Alstyne that once he located claim that gave
little promise of YIELD and traded it for better
looking one. The man who took over the Van
Alstyne claim went back to Settle with more
than 100000 in dust, while the discoverer OF
the bonanza didn't get wages out of his. So all
through the years he spent in that region OF
wonders he was always just out of the way
when Lady Luck went by. But he never lost
hone. and went on to the end, serenely con.
fdent his turn would come.
If his life held any lesson, it is that OF per
sistence. The great reward of discovery was NOT
his, and through no especial fault Of his own
That he could and did sustain the buffets, and
kept his courage to the end is to his everlasting
credit In this he succeeded far better thar

spirit has snapped at the first setback, and who
has weakly ended it all rather than face world

SYMPTOMS OF PELLAGRA.

Pellagra generally begins WIN d
sore mouth, indigestion and bodily
and mental weakness and fatigue.
The tongue is pointed at the edges
1t may be sore. There may be red
patches and fissures. There Is a
feeling of burning which runs down
the throat from the mouth and into
the stomach.
In the more typical cases the skin
shows patches of sunburn.
The sunburnt appearance Is typi-
cal. though its distribution may not
be. II 1t comes on the back OF the
hands and wrists it may form a
wristband extending around the
arm. 1t may form collar around
the neck. In fact, the so-called
Casars collar is one of the best
known skin pictures. 1t develops
on the front Of the chest. This To-
cation Is not reserved for those who
wear low neck gowns or waists with
triangular openings in front and
above. In other words, while the
eruption looks like sunburn and Is
in the sunburn locations. when one
bores into the case he finds there
has been no exposure to sun or not
enough to account for the burn or
that the burn Is not entirely right
for sunburn as to location ana
shape.
Goldberger says that as a rule
there is constipation and no one
has seen any more OF the disease
than has this expert. Nevertheless
many cases have diarrhea and some
have foamy diarrhea similar to that
of sprue, Some cases have a burn
ing which seems to extend from the
mouth throughout the intestinal
tract, which is accompanied by
diarrhea and a brassy odor. Mental
weakness and mild delirium char
acterize certain cases.
In the last several years when the
disease seemed to be getting milder
the proportion of atypical cases
seemed to be increasing. There
were cases without deliriurn or
other nervous symptoms. Other
cases had no diarrhea. Still others
had no eruption. In fact there
seemed to be no landmark present
in all cases.
AS rule pellagra cases develop
in May, June, July and August.
They begin to clear up In Septem-
ber. The symptoms may disappear
entirely in cold weather and return
the next spring. The percentage
of occurrences the following season
is said to be five.
In recent years only 10 per cent
Of the cases die. Ten years ago go
per cent died. This difference Is
more apparent than real, since mild
cases were seldom diagnosed 10
years ago. Nevertheless. since the
disease is regarded as so deadly and
since nine cases out of 10 get well,

WhyNot Tar Franks?
From tho Chicago Evening Post.)

President Harding has indicated
favor for an increase in first-class
letter postage as a means Of increas-
ing government revenue. Net in
come from the higher rate would be
turned into the United States treas
ury for general purposes.
Congress, searching for sources
from which new revenue may be
produced, thinks favorably of the
idea also.
So we may set it down as reason
ably certain that the increase will
be made. 1t will raise between
$70,000.000 and $s0,000,000 a year
and without costs of collection.
You'll simply pay the postmaster
cents for a postage stamp instead
of cents; or cents for a post card
instead of one. It is all very
simple. 4.
There will be vigorous protests.
probably, from mail order houses
and other businesses which conduct
their advertising campaigns largely
by circularizing.
The average letter-writing citizen,
too, will growl and disagree. Here,
to him. will be a visible evidence
that the cost of government service
has gone up, not down. For on its
face there is no separation OF the
amount that goes to defray the cost
of carrying his letter and the
amount that goes to the treasury
as a war tax.
Up in Canada they do it different
ly. They have a one-cent tax on
letters there. But it is a separate
and distinct stamp. 1t is labelled as
tax stamp, and must be licked and
placed alongside the postage stamp
on each envelope. 1t is not camou-.
f1aged or concealed as an increase
in postage. Still, most Canadians
end up by using an ordinary three
cent stamp instead.
This letter tax leaves open only
one tax-free form of communication.
We have a tax on telephone con-
versation, a tax on kilograms and
are about to have a tax on letters,
but we have as yet no tax on the
weighty political communications OF
congressman to their constituents.
The franked envelope, which car
ries no stamp. will evade payment
of the new letter tax.
Yet the tons upon tons of free
mail sent out from Washington is
no small contributor to building up
postal deficit
If the new letter tax were made
to apply to congressional mailings,
it would help the government finan-
cially in two ways
1t would bring in revenue direct
ly from all necessary congressional
correspondence.
And 1t would cut to one-half or
cne-quarter the volume Of political
propaganda that now cutters up the
government printing offices and the
mails out of Washington.
That would be tax that would
please most of us!

Moving Picture Censorship.

A convention of considerable public interest
will meet at Los Angeles on Monday. 1t will
be made up OF delegates from the various CEN
sorship boards Of the United States and Can
ada, and will devote its sessions to discussion
of the topics in which it's members are the most
concerned. What will come out of the gather
ing can not be told, but it is not so hard to out
line what might come out Of its deliberations.
First of ALL producers. authors, directors and
the like will be greatly relieved if these censors
will reach an agreement as to what is and what
is not proper to show on the screen. A definite
decision on this point will be of real service
to those who have to do with the making and
exhibition of films. Maybe it is not possible to
standardize the exhibitions, but basic rules
might be formulated without any violence
to the independent action of the separate boards
and thus general guide be afforded for the con-
troll of the industry. Maybe the gathering will
set in motion the oft-promised but long delayed
change in the character of the movies.
| If that important part of the amusement life
Of the world is to retain what it already has and
60 on to greater things, it must be careful not to
forfeit public esteem, and it has been perilously
near to doing so of late. The work of the CEN
sor may be made great deal easier, if not rem
dered entirely unnecessary, by the producers.
| The convention will give both sides good
| chance to reach common ground, and the case
| of the movies will be helped if they do get to-
| gether.
