Doctors Puzzled By Psychic
 Sneezer, Quieted By Sedatives

The victim of the strange neurotic affIiction was brought to a Denver hospital from her home in Western Nebraska, and her almost ceaselesS sneeZing for time threatened serious consequences to other patients, who were kept in a state of sEeeplessness and frenzy by their sternutative com pa niOn.
 Miss Johnson's condition became so hysterical and she suffered such mental torture that it was impossible to administer anaeathehic. Through the use of powerful sedatives, how ever, she was finally made to sleep, and the ''psyhic sneezing' disappear ed upon her, awakening.
 Tt was entirely a, psychic condition , physicians said. we do not know that there ever was such a case befoYe in the medical profession. The wt9- man, whose mental condition brought on the strange affliction, suffered tor lures, and if the snieezing had contin- ued much longer serious results might have erSued.''

Interference with the efficient func-

Un~reasonably high costs of distri-
button of some farm products.
"The fact is that for three years in
succession the farmers of the United
States have produced more of some
crops than could be sold at prices
high enough to cover producing COSTS"
said the secretary.
ct will never be possible for the
farmers to relate their production to
profitable demand with the nicely of
the manufacturer, both because they
cannot control the elements which in
fluence production and cannot estimate
demand so closely. Neither will the
farmers ever be able to organize as
have the unions, and by rules and
regulations and disciplinary measures
compel obedience to policies adopted.
They can, however, bring about a bet
ter adjustment of production, and mar
keting, to the needs and purchasing
ability Of possible customers, if they
will perfect their organizations and
call to their aid men skilled in in
terpreting conditions which influence
supply and demand. Better adjust

striving for. Both the farmers and

have so many bundles and it is start
ing to rain"
A little boy offered to get them
one. He only had to go a few steps
before he found one. And he held
the door open wide for the two men
as he had seen carriage starters and
automobile starters do.
He had been looking for odd Jobs
that evening. His Christmas money
was not very much, and he did want
to get just a few Christmas presents
to give away. He had already made
some. If he could only get ten cents
now he would have enough. That
would buy his mothers present. He
wanted to get her a pink carnation.
He had seen such beauties, and they
were ten cents apiece.
One of the men paid no attention to
him. The other fumbled at his
pocket. Here, don't be silly, you'll
give the child bad IDEAS" said his
friend. "He really didn't do anything.
He will think he can beg for any
thing. That's a bad influence you're
exerting," he muttered on, as the mar
who had fumbled at his pocket drew
forth a shiny ten-cent piece and gave
it to the boy, whose pale face and
dark eyes lighted up in joy.
Later they stopped in at a restau-
rant to have something to eat. The
man who had reproved the other for
the ten-cent tip to the small boy hand
ed the waiter a large tip in advance,
which made the waiter fawning in his
attentions.
"We'l get better SERVICE" he ex-
planned, land then, too, it's Christmas
time."
But the friend who had been re-
proved said: "You don't think you're
exerting a bad influence by any
chance, do you?"
And the boy bought the ~carnation
and went home, successful and happy,
but the waiter snubbed the next Gus
toner because he failed to get an ex.
orbitant tip.

WHY DO THEY LEAVE?

Among the regrettable things in
connection with our efforts to afford
opportunities to the youth of America
to become educated, and with free
schools and compulsory attendance
laws in practically every state in the
union, there is the condition existing
of many pupils leaving school before
their education in the grades and in
the high schools is completed.
Why do they leave? This is a
question which ought to be answered
in some way and perhaps during this
week while American Education week
is being observed, it will come up for
some consideration.
AS a basis for some thought along
this line the following statistics are
given:

grade, or the last year of high school

ers because of the distortionate rela-
tionship of prices, Secretary Wallace
OF the department of agriculture told
President Harding and congress this
week in his annual report.
"There is food in superabundance,"
Mr.. Wallace said, "and this contributes
to the prosperity of business and in
dustry for a time, but the inadequate
return which the farmer is receiving,
and has for three years, inevitably
must result in readjustments in the
number of people on the farms and in
the cities, which will not be for the
continuing good of the nation"
There has been a greatly accelerat-
ed movement of farmers, and especial
ly farmers sons from the farms to the
cities and industrial %centers, the Sec
rotary reported, declaring that best es-
Inmates "indicate that during July,
August and September twice as many
persons left the farms for the cities
as normally"
The secretary renewed his recon-
mendation for rural credits legislation
asserting that action should be taken
promptly to increase the maximum
which a farm loan bank may lend to
an individual from $4,000 to $4,000.
He advocated also a readjustment of
the term loans may run, saying a sys-
tenn should be established by which
the farmer could borrow for periods of
from six months to three years.
Creation of a new bureau of home
economics was urged by the secretary,
to enable the department to extend its
efforts toward better economic sys-
TENS in the rural communities.
This year would be a prosperous
year for agriculture, and consequently
a prosperous year for the nation, il
the relationship of prices now was
such as existed before the war, Secre.
tary Wallace said. There has beer
some increase in price in farm pro
ducts, but there has not been much i'm

prices to the price Of other things

CAUSE OF CANCER UNKNOWN
Dread Disease Has Baffled the Best
Efforts Of the Medical Fraternity
for Centuries,

Medical science today knows no
more about the cause Of cancer than
was known 1000 years ago.
Some families seem to be immune.
In other families deaths from cancer
occur in generation after generation,
as if to show hereditary tendency.
There are many so-called Cancer
houses" in which deaths from the dis
ease have occurred with such lament
able repetition as to destroy their mar
ket value for selling or renting pur-
poses. An evil repute attaches to GER
tain well-known cancer districts," in
which the death rate from this malady
ls extraordinarily high. There is one
such district in the Berkshires Of Mas
aachusetts, another is 1nAthe middle Of
New York state.
One Of the many theories regarding
the cause Of cancer is that it is at
tributable to an undiscovered germ,
carried by the bedbug or some other
insect. If that were correct, the dis
ease would surely be more prevalent
among the slum-twelling poor than
among well-to-do people who enjoy the
benefit Of sanitary surroundings. But
such is not the case; cancer is as
common among the rich as in the tene-
ment and poorer quarters Of our cities.

Early English History.

Thy reason that the Norman con-
quest did not subjugate the English
is explained by the fact that "Jutes,
Angles, Saxons, Danes and Normans"
were all kindred in race and so they
united in one race; the Welsh, Irish
and Scots were of the Celtic race. Tho
Normans were not Frenchmen in the
beginning but pirates from Scandi-
navia, who had come to France and
had been given a tract Of land. They
adopted the French language and be-
came In time the most courteous and
noble people in Europe, but when they
won the battle Of Hastings. they were
more nearly akin to tn. English or
Anglo-Saxons than to the French, al
though they brought the French Ian
guage to England, and many Of their
words were Incorporated into the Ian
guage. Because of racial differences
the Welsh, Irish and Scotch did not
unite with the English as easily, but
the centuries have obliteratsd many
racial characteristics because OF many
ntermarriages.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.
