Government DRY
Have Been Paid Several Billions
Since Government Took Them
Over During War.

During the 26 months Of govern
ment operation Of private owners Of

The Cummins-E -Esch bill provided for
per cent return on valuation of
$1S,80O, ,000,00O, or s1,134, 100000 an
The bill also appropriated $780,
100000 to cover "deficiencies," and
created a revolving fund of $3O0,000,-

TYRANNY IN INDUSTRY
DUE. TO Be DESTROYED

The trade union movement Is
dedicated to the proposition that
autocratic control of industry must
be destroyed in order that there
may be a full development Of hu-
man freedom and in order that all
men and women may have a voice
in the determination of their des-
tiny.
The task can be accomplished
only as the workers organize. DEM
Ocracy enters into modern industry
only through the organization Of
the workers. AutOcratic control,
with all its evils, remains in full
flower where there is no organiza-
tiOn Of labor.

DUE TO DIGESTIVE TROUBLE
Condition Of Nareolspsy Revealed By
vIetIm's Absolutely Irresistible
Desire for sleep.

Even after a meal OF moderate size
taken by abnormal subject there Is
slight tendency to drowsiness. which
becomes much more PRONOUNCED after
heavy meal or in dyspsptics.
When sleep under such conditions Is
irresistible we have nareolepsy. The
patient may fall asleep sorabruptly
that he may endapger himself or 9th
ers. 1t Is characteristic, however, Of
narcolepsy Of whatever kind that the
attack is OF brief duration. The VIC
tim never collapses, for he always
has time to assume a posture suitable
for sleep. He may even announce
that he must doze for a few minutes,
after which he will awake refreshed.
he may be kept awake or readily
awakened. Hence there should be no
likelihood Of mistaking narcoleptics
for epIleptics of any kind. The diges-
tive troubles are Of no particular type
cases have been seen Of alcoholic
gastritIs, hyperchlorhydrs, stony. etc.
In these patients Indigestion Is only
q determining cause, but relief Of the
stomach mischief seems to lead to
complete recovery, Possibly akin TO
these gastric cases are others IN
which. q subject falls into an impera-
tive sleep after Indulgence IN alcohol,
but who wakes in a few moments
completely sober, instead Of passing
into a stupor.-Rocky Mountain News.

GULL HAD GOOD APPETITE
VeraeIous Observer Asserts Bird s~ai-
lowed Fifteen smeIt Within Space
Of One Hour.

Sea gulls never visit the Cowlitz
and Lewis rivers except when the
smelt are running. Local fishermen
know when the fish are at hand By
seeing the big white birds In the air
wheeling and diving and utterine
their plaintve cry. They sound like
complaining children with rather
weak lungs. When the gulls are tired
Of flying they settle on piles along
the shore or on sand banks which
they whiten like a fall Of snow.
When the sharp eye Of gull sees
a smslt he plunges for 1t, submerges
his bill and head, and brings 1t up
squirning. The bird swallows his
prey in full flight, seldom or never
perching TO dispose Of it.
A most observant young man relates
that a friend Of his at Kelso, on the
Cowlitz, selected gull which he could
identify and watched 1t for an hour to
ccHnt the smelt 1t caught and swal-
lowed. The number was surprisingly
large-fifteen.
Perhaps this gull was more expert
or luckier than ordinary. II must
have been an exceptional bird In color
at least or the Kelso naturalist could
not have told 1t from the rest Of the
flock. Perhaps 1t was exceptional in
other ways And perhaps 1t had a
double rsonality-Portland (Ore.)

Obituary Of a JeIlyfsh,

One jellyfish at least became world
famous, and when she died, after nv-
ing for slxty-seyen years in the most
Intellectual society. under the protec-
tion Of five successive learned gentle
men, she received the honors Of az
obituary notice In the Scotsman.
Granny" belonged to the jelIyfish
family, but was, strictly speaking, n
sea anemone whom Sir John Graham
Dalyell picked OFF the rocks and kept
in sea water all the years Of his life
Sir John fed his protege regularly with
one-half mussel a fortnight, and she
bore a large family.
The Scotsman TN Memoriam" no
tice stated that 600 Of Granny's of
spring were known. When Sir John
died his anemone was passed on to
an arctic explorer, and at his death
she was bequeathed TO another scien-
tific man. Granny throve and bred lit
tie ones she outlivsd four protectors,
and died finally because OF the neglect
or ill-treatment OF a botanist.

How Much Is Enough to EatY

Science is speaking. up. for the p
year-old who is always hungry. age.
size and activity have all to do with
the matter. A boy may need more to
eat than girl because he exercises
more rather than because he is lar
ger. A small, bookish father tied to
desk may need much less to eat
than his romping, growing 12-year-old
progeny. 1t is safe to say that grow
ing child needs all the bread and
butter and milk and fruit that 1t will
eat; when the appetite must be coaxed
with sweets IL is not 10 be trusted.
II you have stopped running and
growing, don't gauge Boobies needs
by your relative sizes. Growing is
strenuous business. Be sure that the
children have both building material
for this important occupation and en-
ergy fuel for their ceaseless activity.
Watching the chlld's weight will give
you key to the situation.
