Railroad Wages and Rates.

There is a widespread idea that the crisis
now evident in railroad affairs is due to diff
ferences between the workers and the employ
ing railroad officials. Nothing could be further
from the truth. Every railroad in the United
States is tied hand and foot, SO far as its earn
ings and expenditures are concerned. No rail-
road president, board of directors or other rail-
road official has the slightest power or auth
ority to fix rates. the price of passenger tickets
or the wages to be paid railroad employees. The
interstate commerce commission has absolute
authority with respect to freight and passen-
ger rates. The United States labor board has
absolute authority to dictate the scale of wages
to be paid to every class of labor employed in
railroad work.
Recognition of this fact, which is a matter of
common knowledge. but which is also COM
monty ignored, removes consideration of the
railroad labor question as one of controversy
between employer and worker and places it
four-square where it belongs-a definite issue
between railroad workers and the United States
government. Railroad employees who are
asked to vote on strike orders, therefore, must
dismiss from their minds the notion that they
are voting for strike against the@ acts of
railroad officials. The vote they cast will de-
eide whether or not they refuse to abide by the
decision of the federal government Recent
cuts in the railroad wage scale are a conse-
quence of and follow by two months the orders
of the interstate commerce commission to all
railroads to reduce freight rates. The wage
cuts ordered by the United States
labor board are in consonance with the
reduced freight rates and are estimated to
about balance the reduction in income caused
by the lower freight rates.
The general public is vitality interested in
the action taken by both the interstate com
merce commission and the United States labor
board, as it is the evident purpose of both
these federal bodies to inaugifrate downward
in the cost of all commodities. Tho
cost OF transportation absolutely controls the
price of all commodities. Until freight rates.
passenger rates and railroad wages are re-
duced to something like normal it is impossi-
BILE for prices to become normal These are
the fundamental facts in the railroad situation.
shorn Of all argument and sentimentality and
and every intelligent worker should
keep them constantly In mind.

Crashing at Youth.

According TO medical men IT probably will
be three years before Harold F. Mccormick,
the Chicago millionaire will get the full value,
il any of the glands recently transplanted into
his body. The human body, with its endo-
crime glands, corresponds to a delicate ma
chine with a dozen different adjustments, a
change in any one of which affects the others.
Tampering with a gland-the thyroid, for ms
tance-usually' throws the body's giandular
control out of balance. II takes time to es-
tabIish equilibrium and make the bodily ma
chine function smoothly. Science will learn
many things from this millionaires grasping
at youth by the gland route.
After all is youth really worth as much as
most of us have hypnotized ourselves into be-
lieving? You might put this question to an
elderly man or woman: How much of the ma
terial and mental wealth you have accumulated
would you surrender to get your youth back?
Most Of them would hedge and want to retain
the wisdom and experience gained during life
time. You have noticed that people when they
say. EFF only had-my life to live over again."
usually add, land know wnat do now" With
maturity and old age comes an escape from the
bitter despair and heart-rending emotions of
youth, which mountains made cut of mole
bells, but very real A good many people are
happier and more contented in middle age
and even old age-than in youth.
Socrates learned to play m=sical instru-
ments in his old age. Cato did not begin to
study Greek until he so, and Plutarch
nearly old when he took Up Latin Sir
Henry Spelman was farmer until he was so,
then became a great scientist. These and mil
lions Of similar cases show that youth is large
ly matter of viewpoint-mental and spiritual
instead OF glands and years of age. Real
youth is in the heart. In old age most people
come to the conclusion that life here on earth
is just training school and spiritual gymnas-
ium for better existence later. Old age is the
youth of the intellect and the babyhood of the
spirit Happiness and contentment have moth
ing to do with ones number of birthdays.

hope TO gain In commerce with desastatea
Europe, the wealth OF trade offered by Africa
and South America Is immeasurable. To the
United States these continents will look In
chief degree for the engineering skill. for the
managerial ability, for the construction ma
chinery, for the implements and the equipment
that are always necessary to the period OF de-
veiopment Of any new region. These two con-
tinents are inviting American enterprise and
whatsver trade may be developed with these
continents will most easily and naturally Tow
through the ports Of the southern states. The
center OF production In the United States Is
short distance southwest of Indianapolis. BY
drawing circle with that point as center
1t viii be Immediately ascertained that southern
ports on an average are nearer the center
OF production than ports in the northern
states. To this advantage Of shorter rail-
haul the southern ports add the advantage OF
closer proximity by ocean route to Africa and
South America.
This being true and the future development
of foreign trade depending so largely upon the
control OF ocean transportation, IL seems in
credible thAt southern statesmen would OPP
pose any plan that promises to place our carry
ing trade under the American flag. So far as
possible Great Britain, with the advantage >of
her mandates, and Germany. with the advant-
agess Of cheap production, will endeavor to
secure for themselves the trade Of Africa and
South America Only By going after business
aggressively and bending every effort and re-
source to the attainment Of the desired end can
the United States hope to gain and keep her
share OF an international and mutually en-
riching commerce probably unsurpassed in the
history Of the world.

Prophets Capture Community.

Rock Island and her sister cities are in the
midst of a carnival Of pleasure probably never
before approached in the community, the peo-
pie apparently without regard to fraternal, re-
ligious or social relationship utilization,
having joined hands with the intention Of max
Nng the soiourn of the Yelled Prophets Of the
Enchanted Realm an unforgettabie occasion.
The streets have been resounding day and
night with the steps of thousands of uniformed
marchers, with the music OF dozens of visiting
musical organizations, while everywhere is the
fez with the smiling countenance underneath.
The Prophets have captured the community
with their frankness and friendlincss and good
fellowship. and the people have temporarily
pat aside all Formally to the end that no visi-
tor will be neglected or lonesome.
The merchants deserve words of common
dalton for the cooperation they have given in
the decorative scheme, the cities never having
presented dressier holiday appearance. The
grottoes of the tri-e1ties have cooperated in the
various programs arranged for the special en-
tertainment of the Prophets and their ladies'
and they will be kept busy with a round of
functions up TO the close Of the convention to-
morrow evening.
The grotto is a frolic branch of Masonry
and does not include in It's rites any OF the SOL
emn and dignified ceremonies attaching to the
parent organization. The Prophets of the ma
ton assemble once every year in some
part Of the country merely to have tollifica-
ton, and the community that gains the dis
tinction of acting host always feels amply re-
paid for any disturbance OF it's routine that
may accompany entertainment of this conven-
ton The Prophets have proved themselves
red-blooded fellows, having instantly made an
impression upon the people Of the community.
They have met with hearty reception on all
sides. and in return they have displayed an ap-
preciativeness that fully compensates for the
efforts exerted by Rock Island. Davenport and
Moline
The tri-cities are happy to have the Proph-
cts as guests. and will congratulate the city
that lands the next convention on it's good for
tune.

Adyantagcs Of Temperate Eating.


II you would conceive how much
truth there is in the assertion that
most people eat too much" you
have only to look about you and
observe how many of the human
family are overweight If man 5
horse, COW or dog grows too fat
people laugh at him for his ignor-
ance of animal nutrition; if the
man himself grows too fat people
say 1t must run in the faInily-and
1t does, overeating. II your father
thought a hearty appetite was the
surest sign and promise of health
you, too, are likely to harbor some
such notion, just as you go to the
same church and vote the same
ticket father did
Some scientific observations were
made by Prof. F. G. Benedict, the
noted nutrition authority on a
squad of Springfield Y. M. c. A. col
iege students who volunteered to
undergo restrictions in diet amount
ing to about half the ordinary fare,
for a period of six months. These
men, whose average age was %
years, had been subsisting on a
daily ration of about 5000 to 1900
caiofies, and the diet was cut down
TO about half as many calories.
Some of the interesting observa-
tons made by Professor Benedict
and his associates were:
l. Gradual reduction in weight
occurred in the first six weeks, un-
til loss of about II per cent of
the body weight was recorded.
From that point onward it requfr-
cd about 1850 calories to maintain
this weight at stationary point.
2. The pulse rate was astonish-
ingly lowered-70 to 76 is a fair
normal average, and many of the
men showed pulse rates of 80, 81
or even lower. Obviously temper
ate eating will rest a tired heart.
3. The blood pressure was dis
tinctly lowered.
4. The skin or surface tempera-
ture was lower than normal, though
the internal or body temperature
remained practically normal. This
suggests that people on restricted
diet or fast need more clothing for
comfort. 1t is well known that
people who suffer with the heat of
summer are usually too hearty
eaters.
8. Twelve men from the regular
student body were pitted against
Il of the starvation squad" in
gymnasium tests, such as holding
out the arms until fatigue compelI-
ed them to drop. The starvation
squad lasted as long as the fell
lows on full diet, seven of them,
as against eight of the other fe.-
lows, still holding their arms out at
the end Of an hour, the arms held
extended, palms down, level with
shoulders.
6. Since holding out the arms
is not such good test as walking,
the men were asked to walk a mile
ION tread mill within the respira-
ticn chamber, and the amount Of

oxygen absorbed and the amount
of carbon dioxide produced were
carefully measured. This test
showed that the men who had lost
weight on the restricted diet actu-
ally had slightly greater efficiency
than other students who had taken
the usual full diet.
Z. Most of the men found it
more difficult to keep comfortably
warm while taking restricted diet.
8. Contrary to warning. they cell
ebrated the close of the SIX months
short ration test by indulging in
an especially fine spread, and ell
u men consequently suffered collie
for day or two.
Q. They regained their former
normal weights In a week or two
after resuming ordinary diet.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Bunion Pain.
Can you suggest any application
which will relieve the Inflammation
OF bunion? MRS. F. A.
Answer-Bunion being partly
dislocated joint, can be cured only
by surgery. For relief of the pain
OF Inflammation about the bunion,
a large wet dressing-many layers
Of gauze or cheesecioth kept moist
with alcohol or witch hazel extract
or bay rum extract or cologne wa
ter, will be found grateful, If kept
on over night
Hernia.
What causes groin hernia and is
there any cure for it aside from
operation? How does it act on a
person? What kind of operation
is necessary for a cure? Has her
MIA any effect on fertility? What
are the general symptoms?
K. "A. G.
Answer-Congenital defect or
weakness OF the abdominal wall,
the upright posture of man, various
abnormal conditions associated
with straining in childhood, neglect
of proper physical training in
youth. There is no cure except
radical surgical operation. Hernia
(also known as rupture and breach)
has no relation to fertility. 1t is
not advisable for me to suggest
symptoms.
Color Blindness.
Is there such a condition as color
blindness? l am a man 26 years
old. l can distinguish light from
dark colOrs, but l can't distinguish
pink from red or brown from green.
Can such trouble be overcome by
practice in recognizing colors or
shades? w. s. S.
Answer-Yes, about four out of
every hundred males are more or
less color blind, and only about one
in each 500 females is color blind.
Some persons not born color blind
become color blind from various
causes, especially from excessive
indulgence in tobacco or alcohol.
Congenital color blindness is incur
able; the acquired form sometimes
responds to treatment, if the excit-
ing cause is removed.
