Back from the Vacation.

Reanas Of good white paper from our rapidly
disappearing forests are used each year by writ
ers who have witty things to say about vaca-
tioning. Humorous writers gurgle geefully
about mosquito bites, sunburn and fish that fail
to bite.
And tons Of highly illustrated literature, de-
picting comfortable observation platforms, snow
capped peaks and clear, cool lakes, are distrib-
uted annually.
But neither the humorous writers nor the
travel pamphlets have a word to say about get
ting back from the vacation. There's reason;
in fact there are several reasons To begin with
there simply isn't anything funny about return
ing to work. Hence the humorists are stumped.
And the lads who put out the "an't nature grand
literature are too wise to even intimate that a
vacation has an end.
1t is with no joy that the vacationer tosses his
soiled linen into his suit case, applies what re-
mains Of the cold cream to his peeling nose and
boards a train for home and another year of
work. The scenery which drew such interested
glances from the car window but two weeks be-
fore, is now "old stuff" and whirls by unheeded
Speeding car wheels sound the same click
clickcty CLICK, Dut now, 10 the returning vaca-
toner, they seem to say back to work; back to
the grind"
A day or so later the ex-vacationer is i'm.
mersed in work A month or so later he wants
another vacation. Eight months or so later he
again is avidly reading travel pamphlets. and a
year later he's speeding away on another vaca.
ton Ali Of which brings US to no particula,
conclusion, except. perhaps, that "two week.
with pay" is permanent institution.

Understanding the Farmer.

That the federal government affirm by law
the right OF farmers to combine comparatively
for handling and marketing their products has
been advised by the National Agricultural con-
ference and the Joint Commission OF Agricul-
tural Inquiry. These bodies are not to be sus-
pected OF seeking TO give the agricultural in
dustry special license to exploit the public, nor
should there be in the legislation any loophole
for acts contrary to the general good.
II would not be fair to allow the farmers to
build up their cooperative enterprises only to
have the government, under a special in
terpretation Of the antitrust laws, step in and
break them down when they had done no ac-
tual wrong although legally without defense
Opposition to the cooperative marketing bill
comes with little right from E. H. Gary, who
heads the gigantic corporation familiarity known
as the steel trust. Such legal restraint as has
been imposed on his concern has been to pro-
tect the rights of the public. II can not be
said that he speaks for the American people.
As near as his viewpoint can be expressed, it
is that il the farmers can be kept at work with
minimum Of profit. less wages will have to be
paid to labor. whose living expenses will b.
lowered.
In answer to Judge Gary comes Bernard
Baruch, yet his reply that the farmers aim by
cooperation to do exactly what the manufac-
turers have done through corporations is neither
true nor fair. 1t is impossible to understand
how Mr.. Baruch, Wall street speeulator, has
developed into champion Of the farmers. To
admit the correctness Of his statement would
amount to agriculture giving clean bill OF
health to monopolistic system. Nor does his
atterthought that it would be impossible for
100000 farmers widely scattered through every
state to fix unfair prices either by limiting pro-
lucton or boarding improve the argument.
If agriculture could be operated on any such
basis as the great corporate industries, one may
be sure the individual farmer would be pushed
out as the business of food production was an
nexed by large aggregations of invested capital,
such as one backed by the Morgan interests now
operating an immense acreage in Montana.
True cooperation is vastly different thing,
completely beyond the vision of either Gary or
Baruch. It is democracy applied to industry,
with the principle Of one man, one vote, and
sharing back OF profits in proportion to patron
age.
Farmers are human, and they desire to make
all the profit they can from their toll and in
vestment However, the aim Of cooperation is
not to do this by the impoverishment Of con-
sumers but rather by eliminating waste. During
the war period when everyone was at work at
good wages people used more of the products
Of the farm per capita than now, and paid better
prices. The farmers hope is in general pros
perity, not in any junkersm such as Gary sus-
poets and Baruch mentions, that would seize an
unfair advantage to the wreck of the national
fortune.

The American Standard.

In many eastern mill centers textile work
has been at standstill because OF disputes over
wages and hours. A dispatch from New Hamp-
shire announces that attempts recently to re-
open the plants on basis Of 20 per cent wage
cut and 54-hour week failed to attract enough
workers to man the machines.
From the distance of the middle west it is
impossible to pronounce clearly on the situation.
This much can be ventured, that a return to
longer hours Of toll for these spinners and weav-
ers, the majority of whom are women, is not in
accord with either public sentiment or public
interest. No comment is advisable on the wage
question: although it is we'll to hold up certain
standards by which this should be decided. The
words are those Of the secretary of labor, James
]. Davis in an article in which he endeavors to
interpret the view Of the national administration.
on the general labor problem: l.
War first gave us the living wage as
thing to think about Since then 1t has stay
ed with US as phase; aa aaoe srnos.a nos e te
represent. We still hear much ABOUT IT,
with a good deal Of confusion as to what
is meant by living wage. The trend or
events since the war has put the employer
in the position of clinging to the original
meaning Of the term, as wage adjusted to
the cost Of living. But to the wage Garner
himself the living wage has come to mean
something more definite If it means any.
thing to him, the living wage means wage
on which he can really live-that Is, pay
envelope that will permit him to do a little
more than merely meet the day-to-day cost
of his necessities and enjoy something OF
life in addition.
am convinced that this wider concep-
ton of what constitutes living wage is
entertained not only by the workman him.
self, but that the American people as
whole will willingly concede it to him.

Loving Animals.

like and love animal life. Monday at the horse
and mule barns a very remarkable appearing
horse made lot Of friends and got lot Of
human sympathy bestowed on him because he
sustained q bad cash cut In his leg while being
unloaded from q car. He had ridden by rail
from Parsons. Kas. where he had been the hero
In wild west show because Of his keen COW
pony sense.
This animal was pure white except for his
ears which were red. He was 1.-THE and SLIM
with one glass eye. and came bearing the repu.
tation Of being one Of the best COW ponies that
ever performed In the COW country. But these
facts did not go to make sympathy for him, now
that he was to be sold from off the range to
other scenes of activity, probably carnival or
some show where trained horse would be valu-
able. The horse was injured and limping, and
seemed to be in pain. His remarkable appear
ance and markings attracted attention to the
animal and many a stroke and slap of sympathy
was given the horse by stable boys yard men and
dealers who saw the look Of pain in the animals
eyes as 1t stood waiting its trip into the auction
ring. One touch of adversely or pain makes
men more cognizant that both men and dumb
brutes are creatures of the same great God.

BATHING BEACH PERILS.

A committee Of tho American Pub
lie Health association set out TO find
what the ear. eye and nose special
lists and tho public health officers
thought about bathing beaches and
swimming pools as agencies for the
spread OF disease,
The replies received may not be
scientific evidence. and they may be
half-baked opinions. but they record
what 500 men know or think they
know. and. rs such, are entitled TO
some weight
About three-fifths OF the number
thought swimming pools and bath
ing beaches important factors In tho
spread OF disease.
When asked how disease was
spread about one-third replied by
infected water. one-third by infected
towels and the other third by both
water. towels and suits.
In reply to the question as to
what was the chief danger two
thirds replied Infection. about one
quarter drowning and tho remainder
gave n miscellaneous list OF dangers
As TO the importance OF bathing
beaches and swimming pools In
spreading certain diseases the an
swers were as follows:
A little more than half those re-
plying thought typhoid was spread
that way. The proportion thinking
gonorrhea was so spread was some
what smaller. Less than one-half
thought syphilis was spread by that
agency. Fifty-nine per cent held that
ringworm was SO spread, Al per cent
answered affirmatively as to dys-
entery. 81 per cent as to colds. II
per cent as to pink-eye and SO per
cent as to boils.
One hundred and twenty-nine ply
sicians reported that they had seen
infections Of the middle ear so
caused, II had seen cases Of con-
junctivitis so caused. 73 reported
cases OF pink-eye. sinus infections
were reported by II physicians. 81
reported miscellaneous ear infec-
tions. IS reported colds, 80 reported
furunculosis and 25 reported boils.
Thirty-one REPORTED gonococcus In
fections. including gonococcus eye
infections. "a reported rhinitis and
13 tonsolitis; 10 reported impetigo.
"a reported ringwornis and II re-
ported itch.
Eighteen physicians reported cases
OF typhoid so caused.
These were reports Of isolated
single cases.
As to epidemics, seven physicians
reported epidemics Of sore eyes due
to bathing places. six reported cpl
denies Of skin troubles of different
kinds. two reported epidemics Of
middle ear infection. two reported
epidemics of tonsolitis and one re-
ported an epidemic of typhoid clear
ly traced to infection from bathing
in polluted water.
Few cases resulted fatally, except
some of the typhoids. There was
one fatal mastoid and four fatal
cases Of meningitis following nose in
fections.
Maybe a good many Of these cases
could have been traced to other
causes by careful investigation.
Nevertheless. the opinion was so
general and the number Of cases so
large that we must admit that there |
is some danger.

A Road Laboratory.

From the Norfolk News.
Despite talk about tax reduction the good
roads movement Is going to continue to move.
There is no stopping an improvement which is
as valuable to all elements Of the community as
smooth all-the-yearround highways. Our pres
ent dirt roads will be replaced by hard pave
ment unaffected by weather conditions. A few
states are taking the lead and the others will
follow
All Of the states, therefore, are indebted to
Illinois for the thoroughness with which that
state is Investigating the value of various kinds
of pavement for rural roads The people Of
Illinois recently voted $60000,000 bonds for
highway construction and with federal aid this
sum will be increased to about 500 O0O, 900. The
highway department before beginning construc-
tion wisely decided to make some tests in an
effort to prevent useless spending of the money
for the wrong kind of pavement. Sections of
all kinds of surfacing now in general use were
laid and trucks some loaded to the limit, were
run over these sections continuously for days.
When the test is completed and the results de-
termined Illinois will know what kind of pave
ment it wants.
The results of the Illinois tests will be avail.
able to other states When the experiments are
completed we will know just what effect frost
and extreme heat, two Of the worst enemies of
hard surfaced roads, have each kind of con-
struction. Nebraska by the time it gets ready
for a large program of hard surfacing will have
before 1t data of great value to its road builders
This is a case where there are some advantages
in not being at the very forefront of the process

Gullible Americans.

FROM the hahsas City journal
the manner in which American tourists are over
charged by European landlords, amusement pro.
prietors and others who cater to the tourist
trade. 1t seems that when a visitor is identi-
fed as an American. all prices automatically be.
come higher whether it is matter of investing
in bag Of roasted chestnuts at the town square
or purchasing works of art in the galleries.
Europe is bound to get her hands on the
American pocketbook somehow. If she cannot
do 1t through official cancellation of debts, her
ican tourists These business men are not to be
blamed. The American is the most gullible
person in the world. He likes to pay high for
what he gets, and he usually is not satisfied if
he doesn't. II the European tradesmen have
sufficient insight into human nature to observe
this characteristic, they ought to be congratu-
and it's theirs If they have sufficient brazen-
ness to get It. The chances are the victimized
American will enjoy the swindling process If
he doesn't, he can stay at home
If Americans continue the presen tfate Of
gadding to Europe, and If Europeans show no
softenng Of the conscience, it should not be
abroad alleviated. Good American cash is
drifting into European money drawers, from
where it is taken to pay high taxes Eventually,
America will pay the Allied debt with her own
money, and the American tourist will hold the
enviable position Of the prize winning dupe.
Little too Mild.
From the Detroit Free Press.
New York appears to have added a new one
to the multitude of schemes for making auto
mobilists be good. Under an ordinance just
adopted by the board Of aldermen every motor
ist must carry card with his photograph at
tached thereto When he parks in front of
fire hydrant or commits some other minor in
fraction of the law a policeman will reprimand
him and make a record of the fact on the iden-
tification card. There are four spaces on which
such records be entered, and after they are
full the culprit must go to court.
In this part of the country, where they treat
'em rough" this deliberate policy Of long suffer-
ing looks like straining the quality of mercy in
the wrong direction. Why give a four
slams at the law before the law begins to hit
back? One would also like to know just why
any policeman should be entrusted with the ju-
dicial power that is evidently involved in deter.
mining the guilt of a motor driver, the degree of
his guilt and in the infiction of punishment
even when the punishment is nothing more than
a bad mark.
Satisfactory answers to such questions are
not easy to find, and the country is not likely to
follow the example Of its greatest city in this
regard.

Dangers in Iodine,

Dangers In Iodine.
r. E. r. writes: Would you ad-
wise the use Of iodine internally as
a disinfectant? If so, in what doses
in milk and water?
"How would you advise use of uro-
tropin for same purpose-in cap
sules or in liquid form, and what
doses?"
REPLY.
do not think you will get any
where taking either iodine or uro-
tropin internally as general dis
infectant.
The rule is that disinfectants are
more poisonous to people than they
are to bacteria.
If taken internally, in doses suf-
ficient to kill bacteria within a man,
they will first kill man.
There is limited field for the use
Of iodine and urotropin internally,
but it is not good judgment to use
them unless a physician directs.
Coal Gas Poisoning. !.
r. A. e. writes: II. What effect
would coal gas have on a family ?
A family of six people lived in a
house for eight years with a hot air
furnace filling the house with gas.
-Four are dead-heart disease,
Kidneys, pernicious anemia. apo
plexy. Could any be traced to the
gas?
"a fifth member of the family is
now having acute heart attacks"
REPLY.
Probably what is called coal gas
poisoning is poisoning by carbon
monoxide gas.
Acute carbon monoxide poisoning
is a very important and very wide
spread trouble. 1t causes many
symptoms and is often fatal.
Chronic monoxide poisoning is a
condition about which we know lit
tie. 1t has been frequently reported
in Europe, but so far there are few
American reports Of chronic poison
ing.
There is no proof that chronic coal
gas poisoning causts either heart
disease, kidney disease, apoplexy or
pernicious anemia.
Lung Air Bubbles.
]. W. writes: will you kindly
give me the definition Of rale on the
lung and why it more often appears
in climate of lower altitude rather
than high, and the best way to cure
it?"
REPLY.
A rale is sound made by air
bubbling through fluid in bronchial
tube, generally in a small tube.
The presence of rales, therefore,
means that some part of the lung
contains mucus, pus. blood, water
or other fluid.
When rales are heard in the lungs
consumption. pneumonia, bronchitis,
asthma or some other disease is the
cause.
The cure depends on the disease
which causes the symptom.
