Leonard Wood,
Major General,
U.S.ATrys
PRESIDENT ENDORSES THE
NEAR EAST RELIEF APPEAL

{ hington.-President Harding has
given his hearty endorsement to the
appeal being made by Maj. Gen. Leon
ard Wood on behalf of the Near East
Relief, l Madison Avenue, New York
City, for a nationwide Lenten Sacri-
fee Offering to save the starving
Christians Of the Near East.
The Presidents letter reads:
"There ought to be no cessation or
relaxation. Of our sympathetic Ameri-
can efforts to be of service to these
stricken people. One can well believe
that they will not survive If we with
draw the relief which has heretofore
been so generous from the private
American purse. 1t has seemed to me
that all we have done has borne divi-
dends tenfold In the consciousness that
we have done an humane thing for a
people well deserving our generous
sympathy.
81 wish you the very greatest sue
cess in furthering the great relief
movement to which you are now giving
your attention.

FREED FROM TURKISH YOKE
chaIdeans Promised a Measure of In
dependence Under the Guiding
Hand of France.

The American army officer, chosen
by the Chaldeans to present their APP
peal for independence to the council
of allied premiers, reports that he has
been unable to get a hearing for that
ancient people. They made some at
tempt during the peace conference to
obtain consideration, having heard
that "self determination" was to be
a guiding principle in the settlement
of the worlds affairs. Those at Yer
sailles who had some familiarity with
Biblical history may have recalled the
Chaldeans, Of course, but they failed
to make an impression on minds sur
charged with acute problems of TWEEN
tieth-century craftsmanship.
The Chaldeans, or Babylonians, how
ever. may count on being better off
than has been their lot for many CEN
turtles. They will get some benefit
from the new era. Residing in north
ern Mesopotamia, which France now
will control-the southern region be-
ing confided to Great Britain-they
will be freed from their old oppres-
sors, the Turks, and the French gov
eminent has indicated purpose to
give them a measure Of autonomy. The
Chaldeans were once warlike people,
capable of demanding what they de-
sired. More than 100000 of them are
now said to be dwelling in the region
that will be redeemed from Turkey.

CARRIERS OF DREAD DISEASE
How Science Has Shown Children to
Be the Bearers of Deadly Diph-
iberia Germs.

There is probably no more difficult
or more unsatisfactory problem In
contagious diseases than that of the
diphtheria carrier. Though the death
rate for diphtheria has been greatly re-
duced since the discovery of antitoxin,
the morbidity rate has remained vir-
tually the same, says the Journal of
the American Medical Association.
Gelien, Moss and Guthrie found that
approximately 1S per cent of 500
healthy children in Baltimore were
carriers of diphtheria bacilli at one
time or another, and about IL per cent
of these were carriers Of virulent or
ganisms. They also found higher
percentage of positive cultures in chill
dren with pathologic throats than in
those with normal throats. OF so
children who yielded positive cultures
at the first examination, 90 had posi-
tive cultures two weeks later. After
four, six, eight, ten and twelve weeks,
the number of positive cultures was
fifteen, eleven, twelve and six. respec-
lively.

How Isinalass Is Prepared.

Isinglass is the dried swimming blad-
der of several varieties of fish. The
amount of gelatin in isinglass is from
SO to 90 per cent, and even more. It
is prepared by tearing the air bladder
or sound from the back of the fish,
from which it has been loosened by
striking several blows with wooden
club, then washing in cold water. This
black outer skin is removed with a
knife, again washed and spread on a
board to dry in the open air, with the
white shiny skin turned outward.
To prevent shriveling or shrinking the
bladder must be fastened to a drying
board. The best quality of isinglass
comes from sounds that are dried in
the sun. After drying the sound is
again moistened with warm water and
the interior shiny skin is removed by
hammering or rubbing. Finally, 1t is
rolled between two polished Iron
rollers.

Hom to Make Pet of Toad.

The next time you see toad pick
1t up, place it on your knee and gently
stroke its back with your finger tip.
In few minutes it will squat down
close to your knee and then you can
take your hand away and it will make
no effort to escape. If you can catch
a few flies and put them one by one
on your finger and slowly thrust your
gift toward the toad the latter's pink
tongue will shoot out and accept the
gift in a second. Do this every day,
and the toad will not only come to
your whistle, or call. but will hunt
you up If you are in the yard or gar
den where 1t lives. By placing it on
your knee few times it soon loses
Its fear, and lastly you will find 1t OBJ
jects to be taken off the warm resting
place, and will flatten itself down in

Mining Gains Attention

Mining Record: The oil boom of
the past few years gained such
intensity that little or no attention
was paid to the financing of new
mining projects. The entire world
needs metals-not only for COIN
age. but for industry.
Much new capital will go into
the mining industry this year.
There are signs of reawakening
in the dsrmant mining districts Of
the Rocky mountain country, and
any effort made to interest new
capital is meeting with attention.
The last issue of the Saturday
Evening Post contains an excellent
article on mining and the relation
of the industry to the prosperity
of the patton. There are many
residents of the west who should
read that article and learn from
an unbiased source just how i'm
portant the mining industry is to
their welfare and the welfare of
the nation. And, best of all, the
article is free from the usual
attacks that are made upon the
small company trying to develop a
producer and which are repeated
so often when the subject of mine
development is written about.
The New York American saws:
"Au increasing regard for stocks
IN the larger gold mining companies
is being expressed by traders, who
believe that the outlook for these
companies is much improved in the
past few months. The costs of
all these companies have been
greatly reduced and the outlook is
for further reduction, which will
make it possible for them again
to show satisfactory margin or
profit

pay $40. 81 per ounce for all gold
offered, and the purchaser at the
mint will continue freely to buy at
$20-67 per ouncesm
The manufacturer. of gold has in
effect been receiving subsidy, in
that by law he is enabled to buy
gold at the fixed -pre-wa price,
while the price of everything else,
not excepting that of jewelry, has
increased or multiplied.
The proposed tax is a luxury tax
and does not fall on the general
public. The purchaser of luxuries
usually buys regardless of tax.
He gladly pays the price for the
superior art and workmanship in
the finished article. The cost of
the gold in the article is only a
small part Of it's retail price. Gold
used in manufactures and the arts,
regardless of its origin, is at least
temporarily withdrawn from more
important monetary use.
The consumption of gold for
luxury ought to be discouraged,
but the actual result of this pro
posed tax will be to increase the
consumption. The luxury demand
for platinum was greatest when its
price was highest. Final depend
ence must be placed upon the
proposed premium to greatly en-
hance production. If it does this.
the resulting gain in national
financial security justifies the pre-
MUM.
Had the McFadden bill been in
operation during 9l6-1920, on the
basis of the above figures, the
American producers would have
received Sl7l,649,26O premium.
and the tax income, exclusive of
that collected on articles of foreign
manufacture and sold in this mar
ket, would have been S146, 6,l7O, ,45O.
The enactment of this bill, in
creasing the output of gold, will
produce benefits to the nation at
large immeasurably greater than its
cost.
The purpose of the McFadden
bill is, and its effect will be. tc
safeguard and strengthen the gold
standard.

HOW
CODE OF THE PILGRIMS
DEALT WITH PROFITEERS.

CODE OF THE PILGRIMS
DEALT WITH PROFITEERS.
-Profiteering began In this coun-
try with the coming Of the Pill
grims. The protest against this
form of greed came almost as
soon from the same Pilgrims.
That it was certainly unique
there is no doubt, take It from
the record of the First church.
in Boston, for the year 1889.
According to this record the
first .profiteer to be haled before
the court Of public opinion was
Robert Keavne. a bigwig of that
city. He was publicly admcn-
islied against excessive rates for
his wares, because 1t was dis
honor to Gods name, an offense
to the general court and a pub
lique scandal to the country"
His minister administered the
public rebuke. And not only
was Brother Keavne called to
account before the congregation,
but the dominic went to some
pains to indicate the true from
the false rules Of trade.
The false principles were
these: That man might sell
as dear as he can and buy as
cheap as he can. II a man lose
by casualty at sea or In some of
his commodities, he may raise
the price of the rest. That he
may sell as he bought, though
he paid too dear and the COM
modify be fallen. That as a man
may take advantage OF his own
skill or ability. SO he may Of an
others ignorance or necessity.
Some of the parsons rules for
trading that were approved at
this extraordinary meeting read
as follows in the old record: A
man may not sell above the cur
rent price. When a man loseth
in any commodity for want CT
skill he must look to his own
fault. and not lay it to another.
When man loseth by casualty
1t is loss cast upon himself
by Providence that he may not
ease by casting on another.
When there is scarcity Of COM
modify then may he raise their
price. A man may not ask more
for his commodity than his sell
ing price.
Was this latter rule the begin
ming of the one-price system?-
