AGE NOT MEASURABLE IN
YEARS.

The Des Moines Tribune has this
to say of "age:" at is a delicate mat
ter to decide at what point man be-
comes aged. To make the same cal
culation with regard to woman re-
quires even more wisdom and tact.
Practically all the men and women
who do big things and preside over
great concerns are well past the mark
set by the headline writer. A mod.
ern grandmother dresses with more
chic than her flapper granddaugh-
ter. White hair falls daily under the
shears of the bob artist. The golf
links are filled with youngsters OF
81 who can give their sons hnndi-
caps in the game. What is age? 1t
isn't any more"
Age is not really measurable in
terms of years, though no one will
deny that the years have a great
deal to do with it. In fact, there
comes time when the years settle
it their own way. But a man may
be 20 years young, as in the case
of DIR. Emerson. or aged at 90. as
friends. 1t all depends on the spirit.
The gift Of youthful spirit is of
more value than any amount of
riches. We are rich only in the
possession Of the things which the
soul enjoys. Money. IN Abundance
without tie youthful. which is The
resilient. optimistic spirit. to suggest
its use, is not wealtlA nor a factor in

ASKING FOR HELP

n If every man who has misfortunes
Should take his hat in hand and stand
upon the street corner begging for help,
There soon would not be enough street
corners. Nearly everybody at some time
IN his life suffers misfortunes of one
>xind or another. 1t is only by rising
above our troubles and by overcoming
Eour difficulties that we attain success
Is individuals.
But in the mass, how different we are

Let some misfortune overtake as and
forthwith we send lobby to Washing
ton asking federal aid and governmental
relief. This thought is prompted by the
latest appeal to Washington for aid. 1t
comes this time from the farmers. par
ticularlv the wheat growers and it is
termed in general the farm bloc, Eu-
ropean expression not before heard in
American legislative halls. However the
farm bloc is no different from dozen
other blocs or organizations or parties
or Hobbies that are constantly seeking
legislative aid.
As a matter of fact groups are no diff
fcrent than individuals when it comes
to self-help. No governmental measures
ever devised can do anything for a
group of interests that those interests
can not do for themselves better and
less extensively. That is, unless injus-
tice is worked to others by enactment
of special legislation that violates the
rights of the people as whole. Such
things have been done but assuredly no
group desires to prosper at the expense
of the nation. At least not openly so.
Americans have come to believe that
the government is something apart
something eXtraneous. that has income
and resources apart from the remainder
of the country. But every dollar the
government eypends comes out of the
pockets OF the people. 1t matters not
if the money is spent in a single large
appropriation or if it is spent in small
stipends to an army of bureau chiefs
and clerks for administrative purposes.
The money must come from the one
source-the American taxpayer and con-
Sumer.
That is one of the reasons why Our
taxes are mounting and our government
becoming more complex and centralized.
There are today in Washington alone,
more than $1,000 federal office holders.
In the country at large there are 475,-
600. This does not include our military
establishments which are not part of
the legislative and executive branches
OF Our government 1t can be seen from
those figures, why the costs of govern
ment mount and why every appeal for
aid from the central government means
the creation of new bureaus and depart
ments, new offices and new office
holders.
There are instances doubtless, when
wise legislation can materially assist an
industry. But such instances should be
thoroughly proven by extensive expert
ments conducted within the industry it
self. Too many of our relief measures
are Matched in an emergency, on the
spur OF the moment They Are half
baked ideas that in practice cost more
than they are worth.
1t is probable that commission of
businessmen. armed with full authority
to cut and slash, could reduce the num-
Der of federal employees by fifty per
cent and obtain the same amount of
service through elimination of duplica-
ton of effort and useless bureaus and
offices.
Self help by organizations is as inn
portant as among individuals. We can
not continue to beg assistance from each
other because in final analysis. the fed
eral government is the American tax

The inference IS that the United States

possible to prevent war, rejected an ar

and influence of the United States?

sofa Special Election Held
VitaIIy important.

Seldom has a special election at
fracted such wide interest among
national party leaders as the cam
paign which is now on in Minnesota
for the election July 16 Of a United
States senator to succeed the late
knute Nelson. The interest is in
tensifed from the fact that If the
republicans lose that seat the regu-
lar republican majority in the Senate
will be reduced to six and the bal
ance of power in that body may be
held by the radicals.
1t is conceded that the contest will
be between the candidate of the regu-
lar republicans, Gov. j. A. o. Preus
and of the farmerlabor party, Mag
nus Johnson. chosen in Mondays pri-
maries, the democrats cutting a neg
ligtble figure. 1t also is generally
admitted by both democratic and re-
publican leaders that the outcome is
in doubt and that the vote will be
very close.
Farm-Labor Winner i'm 1922.
The farmer-labor party was victo-
rious in the election of 1922. sending
to the Senate Senator Shipstead to
succeed Frank B. Kellogg, and 1t goes
without saying that this victory Will
serve as q powerful incentive TO the
farmerlabor forces to put forth re-
newed efforts to repeat the feat.
An unexpectedly light vote was
cast in the primaries, making it diff
cult for the forecasters to figure on
the relative strength of the two par
ties. In the primaries, however, the
republicans appear to have polled a
larger vote than its chief opponents,
the farmer-laborites. In the 2,342
precincts reported the republicans
had 131,69S votes. while the COM
bined farmer-labOr vote was S9,214.
No safe estimates can be based on
these figures, however. because of the
missing vote and on account of the
uncertainty which way the demo-
cratic conservative vote may go on
election day.
Preus Ranks as Conservative.
The republican nominee, Gov
Preus, is recognized as a conservative,
while Magnus Johnson, the farmer
labor candidate, is said to outrival
even Senator ShipStead in his liberal
views. Senator La Toilette of Wis
consin, who is given a large share
of credit for the election of Senator
ShfpStead last year. is scheduled to
go into the campaign for Magnus
johnson. The republican senatorial
campaign committee will cooperate
with the state committee in every
way possible and will send notable
speakers into the state.

Disinfect the Mouth

Pyorrhea is a condition produced by bac-
terial infection. The human mouth constantly
harbors millions of bacteria seeking an accessi-
bic retreat in which to colonize and multiply.
If the mouth is thoroughly disinfected once or
twice day, this colonization and growth of
bacteria cannot take place.
The problem then is to find an antiseptic
powerful enough to really kill bacteria that can
be used freely and safely as mouth wash.
A perfected form of famous world.war dis
covery at last places such an antiseptic in the
