LETTER IS SENT
BY PRESIDENT
President Says Government
Is Already Trying to Be
Helpful
DOES NOT EXPLAIN
Says If Congress Wants to
Help it Might Act on Debt
Finding
S NOT EXPLAIN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s-Presi-
dent Harding asked the Senate to-
day not to adopt Senator Borah's
proposal for a new international
Economic Conference, saying in a
letter to Republican Leader Lodge
that formal congressional action on
the subject now would embarrass
hiu in negotiations he already Is
conducting looking to such a con-
ference.
The Presidents letter was sent 10
Senator Lodge for presentation dur
ing the Senate's second day Of de-
bate on the Borah proposal which
is embodied in an amendment to
the naval appropriation bill.
The President acted directly tf
block senate action after he had
consulted with Secretary Hughes
and after Senator Lodge had visitej
the White House and had reported
on the progress made in the deter
mined fight already being waged
against the Borah amendment by
administration leaders in the sen-
ate.
The letter stated that while the
senate might properly advise Il
regard to international negotiations
its action on the Borah plan might
give false Impressions to Euro.
pean powers.
The administration. the President
said, was trying to be helpful In
the European situation" which has
bees given most thorough and
thoughtful consideration for many
months.''s
Without disclosing details of what
he is doing, the President suggest
ed that Congress might be helpful
by freeing the hands of the AlIied
Debt Commission. He also declared
alton of European difficulties, and
that this nation 'can not assume 70
say TO one nation what it shall pay
in reparations nor to another what
it shall accept"
As to further armament limitation
negotiations, also provided for in the
Borah plan. President Harding
warned against what might be "a
gesture of promise to the world
which cannot be fulfilled until the
nations directly concerned express
their readiness to cooperate to such
an end"
Senator Lodge later told the SEN
ate that he could not state '.explic-
itly' the nature of the administra-
ton negotiations for a conferences
but was authorized TO say they did
rot include cancellation of the allied
debt. He said President Harding
told him the administration was OPP
posed to cancellation, but Inclined
to favor longer amortization and in
terest payments.

Workers Claim Victory.

The wage workers Of Iowa are now claim
ing the credit for the Republican nomination
for senator They represent that they supported
Brookhart because he is one of the men friend
" to the cause of the workers They did not
have to organize another party to accomplish
this They just worked right along with one
of the old parties and the one that they felt
had the largest chance for success at the No
vember election 1t is observed that growing
out of this result the scheme of acting In this
non partisan manner is gaining in favor with
the delegates to the American Federation OF
Labor convention And non-partisan in this
sense does not signify the forming of an indie
pendent party of that name, but of acting with
the old parties according ITO the best show for
choosing candidates. For instance, if the Re-
publicans nominate a candidate that the work
ing people believe will be just and fair then
there is the opportunity of supporting him
either at the primaries or at the polls Or, on
the other hand, if they nominate man who
is known to be bitterly opposed or else is simp-
ly negative, then theirs is the opportunity te
support candidate more friendly to them, put
up by some other party. This is simply each
mans prerogative and he cannot be blamed
for exercising it.
The proposition of the American Federation
of Labor is to make a careful investigation OF
the merits and records of candidates and ad-
wise which candidates are most likely to be
friendly TO the cause of the workers and make
recommendations accordingly. This is not
new method 1t has been practiced for years.
1t is quite common with all organizations
whose interests are likely to be affected by leg
islation. Naturally there is an administration
that is just to all, and that is not controlled by
any one element or interest, but that represents
as nearly as possible all interests. One cannot
say that there is anything wrong in men striv-
ing to ascertain whether candidates are in &C
cord with their views, and with their wish to
vote for those that best represent them. This
right cannot be denied. And believe that
in the long run it is much more effective than
organizing new parties whose chances of sue
cess are exceedingly remote. In the last presi-
Dental campaign there was a labor party
and strong efforts were made to commit the
working men of the land to it, but on the whole
it made a poor showing, somehow not appeal
ing to those it intended to attract. On the
other hand, organization with the numerical
strength of this, if there could be effected any
unity at all, might be very effective if properly
directed Still it is possible that the demand
for another political party may be carried
through.

HEART WANDERINGS.

/ Every night while the world was
adjusting its sleeping mantle, de-
votional service was held in Nella
Upton's home. The little girl al
ways listened intently to the con-
clusion of her fathers prayer
And keep US from all danger and
accidental calamity and heart
wanderings."
Heart wanderings!" thought
| brown-eyed Nella- What does that
mean? My heart cannot travel
over the earth. into Europe and
Asia, unless l go with it."
! She found the explanation of one
phase, at least, after she married
John Worthington-a machinist OF
exemplary habits.
For a year they lived in great
happiness. Then NelIa became
sick, 1t was serious enougn-tonz
silits and the accompanying weak
ness. A maid was obtained at $40
per week.
Young Dr. Shelton came daily.
During Nella's convaIescence she
looked forward eagerly to his regu-
lar visits. At first it was only the
pleasure of seeing someone from
the outside world Then, after a
while, when his footsteps sounded
on the walk, her heart would beat
so wildly that she felt she must
hide from his sight.
And always her pulse must be
counted. why, this will never do
he said one day. Your pulse is
way above normal. Have you had
any undue excitement
"Oh, no." she replied; nothing
exciting. unless winding the clock
and putting out the cat might
come under that head"
We'll, well, l must look after
you and see that you get strong"
He held her hand as he again
counted her pulse. "Ah. you need
more nourishing food" He then
went to the kitchen and gave ex-
plicit directions to the maid, writ
ing a list for her guidance. Tender
lamb chops, chicken, juicy beef
steak. baked potatoes oysters newly
opened, the freshest eggs, dessert
something dainty, a pineapple gela-
tine with whipped cream was very
tasty.
AS the figure of the doctor disap-
peared, the maid drew herself
erect, put her Aarms akimbo, and
ran out her tongue for the benefit
of the doorknob.
One day. wishing to thoroughly
examine Nella's throat, the doctor
washed his hands and dried
them on Turkish towel
Afterward Nella touched il
lovingly - then she held it to
her face. The fragrance of a
choice Havana still fingered. She
passionately cIasped the towel to

Farm Attractive to Women.

Readers of the Farmers Wife, a magazine
published at st. Paul, were asked if they want
ed their daughters to marry farmers Seven
thousand answers were received. Perhaps no
other question would afford a clearer index to
the attitude of farm women to farm life. Many
farm mothers who would, for themselves, con-
sent to live a farm because of conditions
and environments, might not want their daugh-
tiers to live the same life and undergo what is
generally known the hardships of rural life
The country has heard much complaint of liv-
ing conditions on the farm, and particularly
living conditions for the women folks. Natur-
ally one Gnaccustomed to hearing these COM
plants would expect the vote on the question
submitted by the Farmers Wife TO be an ad-
verse one; or, at least, that very large per
cent of the farm mothers would vote in the
negative Here, then, is a revelation as to how
farm women feel toward farm life. Out of the
1000 women voting on the subject. "a per cent
voted in the affirmative. Less than six per
cent voted in the negative.
The "a per cent answering in the affirma-
tive, while admitting that there are handicaps
in farm life all drew a bright picture of the
life itself. The affirmative answers fairly
sparkle with enthusiasm. Out of As principal
reasons assigned for love of farm life Is were
family reasons. The farm is the place for chill
dren, baby life thrives on the farm. growing
children need out-of-door life, living for fam
lily always sure, farm family a unit in work
and pleasure. children early learn the value of
honest labor, crime in the country at a mini
mum, dissipation and frivolity at minimum
divorces almost unknown in farm life children
grow up with their life work, children early
learn to assume responsibility. The farm is not
only best for the children. but the women have
advantages on the farm that are not afforded

ual-reasons that go beyond any thought of the
material, from the women who have voted by
such big majority for their daughters to mar

The conclusion is inevitable that the women
on the farm in the main not complaining of
their lot They satisfied contented and
proud Of their positions. Possibly the woman
who complains of farm life, like the man in

A Dutch Treatment.

1 n
Everybody knows what Dutch
courage is.
The Dutch treat was an excellent
innovation in some parts of the
country before the drought
But this talk is not a dry one.
It's about enuresis. That is lit
| tie trouble which great many
children have and which causes
mothers a lot of work, even when
they take pains to take the little
ones up at 10 or Whereabouts.
DR.. 2. Bierens de HAN assures
US in Nederlandsch Tijdsehrift V.
&c neeskunde, Amsterdam, that
| the important cause of this annoy
| ing habit is, not kidney trouble"
but too deep sleep. He says the
slumber of children with this very
damp affection is so profound that
it is below the threshold for the
normal rousing reflex for evacua-
ton of the bladder. He admits that
there may be some homeopathic fac
| tor involved in this exceptionally
heavy slumber, but he assures US
that his experience in two large
children's asylums has demonstrat-
ed that the bed wetting is durable
by preventing the excessively
sound sleep.
And how do you suppose de Ham
accomplishes that?
By Dutch treatment, to be sure.
He prescribes a nap for the child
in the daytime. This suffices in
mild cases. The idea is that if the
child sleeps g little in the middle
of the day, say after mid day
dinner for two hours, why, he
won't have to pound his ear SO
heavily at night.
Another suggestion this Dutch
doctor gives is that the bed wettins
child should be put to bed two
hours earlier in the evening, wheth
er he sleeps or not And this is
certainly a helpful plan, as many
harassed mothers have learned.
The room need not be darkened
until the usual sleeping time.
In the severe cases, in which the
high humidity is a regular or in
variable feature, the child should
be kept in bed all day long, in an
atmosphere of quiet and calm. The
repose is often helpful in other re-
OpSNLS. DS I1ddh uCNldI 60 III
these simple methods have proved
curative in practically all cases,
except only actual mental defec-
tives.
Attributing bed wetting to a
homeopathic" heredity is too much
like blaming gran'pa for ones mis-
used arteries. 1t seems more rea-
sonable and proves more practic-
able to ascribe the trouble to a
neuro muscular fatigue of the uri-
nary apparatus and the whole SyS-
TEN. brought about by excessive
or excessively prolonged play, by
harsh and unjustifiable repression
and forced quietude in school (if
the child is unfortunate enough to
be under the thumb of an old fogy
teacher), and to undue excitement
in the evening-such as nighthawk-
ing at the movies or about the
street, as some sadly neglected
children are allowed to do.
Children with this difficult should
be required to follow 4 very rigid
clockwork schedule of evacuation
of the bladder at certain hours all
day, regularly set times. and it is
absolutely wrong for teachers or
others to require any child to OBJ
tain anybody's permission or con-
sent to such thing. Teachers who
