ANERICA'S new PLACE

Many Americans fancy that, be-
cause labor is well employed and our
industries have been reporting sub
stantial earnings and improvement
over the depression period, normally
has been restored The truth is, what
we must consider normal in the future
will be an entirely different thing
from what was considered normal
prior to the war One reason is, our
new place in the world as the leading
creditor nation. That change is
permanent one. We are not going to
return to the old position of debtor
nation. Bankers in the agricultural
communities have come to the con
clusion that we cannot afford to main
tain an attitude Of isolation and that
opinion is notNa personal one. The
men | have talked with are voicing
the ideas of the people with whom
they have daily business contact.
A great many politico-economists
have warned against Americas en-
trance into the European situation,
asserting that our foreign trade makes
nm less than 20 per cent of our pro-
duction, and therefore is too small an
item to be vital or to risk our invest
ment in. They forget, and most PEG
ple who have listened to them forget,
that the unimportant 20 per cent is
the difference between full employ
ment of our industries and labor and
much unem ployme1t and business de-
nression. If a manufacturing enter
prise is running ct 80 per cent of ca
pacity, it may be making fairly good
showing Of earnings, but it is lot run
ming at normal and is not earning the
margin which it should earn in order
to be fully prosperous. 1t appears OBJ
yious that we shall have to build up
foreign investments in this country.
But it will be necessary to go slowly
in the matter of foreign investments.
There must be assurance that what
ever we loan will be used for produc-
tive purposes.-William e. Knox, Sec
ond Vice President, American BSpk-
crs Association.

MAKING CAPITALISTS
OUT OF WORKNIE:N
FeStus J. Wade Says Anarchy
Disappears With The De-
veIopment of Thrift.

When the savings pasS-book comes
into a mans life to stay the red flag
goes out. What the country needs is
to bring about a condition whereby
the man who works with his hands
shall take the same interest in his af
fairs as the capitalist does in his
Probably the best way to do this
would be to turn the workman into a
capitalist. And this Is exactly what
he becomes when he saves his money
and builds ur a reserve fund. He re-
mains a capitalist as long as he holds
on to that money. The satisfaction
of seeing his money reserve mount
up will discourage the waster to take
a layoff now and then. II will encour-
age him to work a full six-day week
and thereby increase the labor hours
applied to production.
The American people can solve any
problem they set themselves To- We
provided for a sound currency when
the greenbackers and infationists
were routed and the gold basis estab.
lished. The Federal Reserve Bank
was established and solved a problem
for which most people thought there
was no solution. A number OF years
ago, when there was crisis or when
bank failed. we all used to shut up
our vaults tight and let nothing get
out Instead of lettering conditions
we made them worse. Now if failures
occur few people, except those direct
~ interested, are disturbed.
Perhaps the most important problem
of all right now is to do away With
labor waste. 1t never can be done by
preaching, by agitatian or by force 1t
can be done by selling the workman
on the idea of becoming a capitalist
This can be brought about by the right
kind Of bank advertising. Who is
there to say that an advertising dol
lar bringing about this result would
not be constructive dollarH-Festus

record OF achievement through
world war, an imitation period Of dizzy
heights, and months of serious ana
costly liquidation. 1t is a mater OF
greatest importance that very earnest
and patriotic thought be given to the
two questions: How far has the sy5'
tenn succeeded, and in what paFucu'
lars has it failed, to give our country
as strong and as useful a financial
svstem as human mind can devise
The hope and expectation OF those
who framed the Federal Reserve Ac'
that the machinery set-up for the
origination, distribution and automatic
retirement Of currency issue, which
should be entirely responsive to the
needs OF trade and the varying
conditions Of business, have been Won
derfully well realized. Every possible
Effort must be ezcrted to preserve the
Federal Reserve System from political
alliance and 70 keep its powerful in
fuence entirely devoted to the bulld,
ing up Of the greatest banking system
in the world.
The first bank of the United States
was established in 1891 and failed to
obtain a renewal Of its charter in 1911
the opponents charging that the BANK
was money trust" controlled by
foreigners, a tool In the hands OF inc
Federalists, and that the act charter
ing the bank was unconstitutional
Note the use of the words money
trust" We have the idea that this Il
a modern term. The suspicious which
animate the demagogue today nave
not changed in a century.
The second bank of the United
States was chartered in 1916 and
failed to obtain a renewal Of its char
ter in 1881, the reasons being wide
spread belief that the bank was uncon
stitutional, the hostility Of the states
the opposition Of the state banks, the
rise OF democracy, and the envy and
hatred which the poor always feel TO-
ward the rich.
Both banks functioned we'll and ac
complished much for the country dur
ing crucial times. The downfall Of
both was caused simply and solely b.
attempts to place the determination
Of banking policies in the hands OF
political authorities.
The delicate handling of currency
and credit, to the high end that th'
best interests Of all may be served
with special privilege to none, cannot
be left to others than those who ara
competent through proven judgment
and experience The danger of poll
tics in the Federal Reserve System is
a real one; upon us is placed the
grave responsibility of forever keeping
the great system clean.

Watch For Scarlet Fever

We may reasonably expect some Of
our children to develop scarlet fever
soon; It is indeed a dangerous disease,
often disabling a child for life and
occasionally one dies from the
effects OF the disease. it leaves
behind many complications, one
OF the most serious being i'm
pairment OF the kidneys. Inflamma-
ton of this most important organ
often producing dropsy and disabling
it for proper functioning throughout
life. The heart Is often attacked, and
so often the disease extends through
the tube from the nose into the car,
producing deafness and intense suf-
fering. 1t may possibly, If neglected,
invade the bones Of the head, requir-
ing surgical interference to relieve it,
and sometimes death results from this
invasion.
Sometimes this disease is called
Scarletina. Rose Rash, Roseola, etc.

Fever 1t may be so mild that it will
not attract attention; the eruption
may be so slight as to escape detec-
ton; then the physician is inclined
to give it the soft pedal. These very
cases are the danger cases; they are
often the causes Of the disease spread
ing; they are not kept isolated and
controlled and quite often these are
often the causes of the disease spread

controlled, and quite often these are
the very cases that later develop in
durable heart LESSONS, kidney LESSONS
and deafness in varying degrees. Call
1t and all similar conditions Scarlet
Fever and control it accordingly.
The danger in transmission is in the
secretions from the nose and throat;
these secretions should be looked
after carefully.

HAY FEVER TIME

TO the many people who suffer
from that distressing condition called
Hay Fever, the rag weed time, the
golden rod season is anything but a
pleasant anticipation. No absolute
remedy, one hundred per cent has
been found. Vaccination with pre-
determined extract of the pollen is Of
great assistance. To be of service,
however, the vaccine should be given
in the spring or early summer; it
would be, Of little use now. II the
particular pollen that produces the
trouble in an individual is known, the
best way to avert the aggravation Of
the attack is to go to some locality
where the weed does not grow With
the diversity that we have in our
State it is quite possible that there
are places where a certain weed
say rag weed-does not grow, at least
so plentifully as it grows in others.
II one could only spend few weeks
in an environment like that it would
be n great help. One can cut the
weeds often around his home and es-
cape some of the trouble in that way
OF course, a sea voyage would give
complete immunity.
1t seems that no survey has been
made in our State to determine where
certain exciting weeds do grow. We
feel sure however, that somewhere
between the top of Mona and the
Okefenokee Swamp some place might
be found that would afford some re-
lief
1t would be of interest if the read
ers of this article would report to the
State Board of Health if in their
locality the ragweed does not grow,
likewise golden rod, yellow dock,
sheep sorrel, cookie burr and peren.

FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS
WITHDRAWN

Appropriations made by the federal
government for fighting the venereal
diseases have been gradually reduced
since the war closed. and quite like
ly will soon be entirely withdrawn,
the government taking the position
that man power is not now a need of
our army, but is local problem,
therefore, the state, county and city
should do the work. In withdrawing
federal aid the government urges the
necessity OF continuing the fight,
Many thousands of dollars have been
spent in our state along this line;
much good has been accomplished;
thousands Of cases have been success.
fully treated and thousands Of exam.
nations and diagnoses have been
made. The work should continue and
the cities, counties and state should
put up the necessary funds.

PROBLEMS THAT PERPLEx.
BeIieyes Implicitly In Him, But

Dear Martha Allen: For some time
I've wanted TO write to you concern
| ing subject which has given me
considerable anxiety.
I have been brought up in n family
where the men folks do not use
tobacco, consequently 1t Is very dis
tasteful to me when used in any form.
This is my trouble: l am engaged
to a man of %. two years my senior.
We have been pals long time. Un-
fortunately, I did not know him until
he had formed the tobacco habit. but
as soon as he became aware of the
fact that 1t was SO repulsive to me
he Immediately gave 1t up, voluntar-
ily and not by a suggestion from. me.
He has not smoked since to my knowl-
edge.
But has he given 1t up? l believe
in him implicitly and shall certainly
give him all the encouragement
can to abstain from its use.
Mother says 1t is very, very seldom
that men will give up this habit for
anyone, and for me not to be shocked
and disappointed If he begins again
soon after we are married.
Tell me. Martha Allen. just what
you think. I love my mother and
fiance so much and have such faith
in what both of them say that I GER
tainly am in a pickle. Thank you so
much. PICKLE
You are making a mistake to doubt
the mans sincerity 1t Is so good to
hear of man who will forego an OBJ
jectionable habit for a girl that l am
inclined to glorify his conduct At
least believe in him until he gives you
cause to doubt him.

mix his name with girl that has a
pretty dark reputation. As I don't
want to start any trouble between
us I haven't said anything about 1t
to him. We have our own home,
so haven't anything to worry about.

AN ANXIOUS WIFE.
Your course has been wise so far.
Don't accuse your husband unless you
are certain he Is doing wrong. l
think it is all right for a man to
have occasional evenings with his
men friends. but there should be no
girl mixed in. Make a special effort
to draw the cords of love a little
tighter just at this time between your
self and your husband. He may be
slipping and the right kind OF help
from you may save him.
Miss F. B. 1t Is we'll for you that
the affair is ended. The best advice
l can give you is to tell you to put
him out of your thoughts. If he
had an appointment with you he had
no right to ignore 1t and make a date
with your girl friend. You were very
foolish to make an engagement with
him for the next evening after what
had happened. He is putting you in
a very humiliating position. If he
deceives you now how could you pos
sibly trust him IL you should marry
