Viewed from a
Hospital Window
(By Fred Hadley)

Dear Reader:
Here am fiat on my back in bed
at Mounds Park Sanitorium, st. Paul,
and / am enjoying the experience
like the devil is said to like holy
water. Having had the pleasure OF
going through a medical clinic, where
/ had to reveal everything except
the date of the first dollar / earned,
the medical gentlemen informed me
that my heart was pumping like a
1903 Ford on "a heavy grade and that
various other organs were badly out
of tune. So here l am, and if you
think / wasn't blue the first couple
of days l was in the hospital you are
poor gusser. My idea of place to
be "from" is hospital, although
will say that everyone here has been
very kind and good to me.
Those of you who are more or less
intimately acquainted with me know
that | dearly love to cock myself up
behind juicy beefsteak, half bushel
of cottage fried potatoes, and all the
other good things that go to make a
table attractive to the hungry. The
doctors took one quick squint at me-
and right away knew / was to part
company with a lot of fiossy food
They said / was carrying about fifty
pounds of excess baggage in the way
of lard, and Judging by the way they
are cutting down on my fodder when
l get out of here l will be as slim
as the graceful and bounding gazelle
/ am not getting any food-they just
allow me to inhale the aroma, and
then pass the toothpicks. If do not
lose weight to beat the band it will
be because the meat clings to my
bones like the South does to the De
mocratic party. My clothes will fiji
me like an elephant skin would drape
a flea, and l will be able to use pain
of umbrella covers for pair of trous.
ers. It's a gay life, comrades!
They are not only taking my fat
away, which cost years and much
money to accumulate, but they are
also robbing me of my teeth. think
the dentist here is the guy who wrote
that charming ballad, "The Yanks
Are Coming" with the big emphasis
on the yanks. Anyway, the dentist is
doing more filling than the grub they
are giving me. There is some con-
ISOLATION in the fact that store teeth
are quite stylish these days, and al
that glitters is not ivory. l woule
be a poor hand in an argument just
now, as I couldn't even chew the rag
but when get my new outfit OF hand

made molars Doug. Fairbanks is go
ing to be dog-gone jealous, boys and
don't you forget it.
After l have graduated from this
course of treatment, want to warn
one Jack Dempsey that he had better
tack his champion crown down pretty
tightly if he wants to keep it. When
l shed about fifty pounds, and look
almost human again, I'll want to try
my store teeth on some one, and I'd
just as soon give Jack the first two
bites as not. A fat man has to be
jolly-he's too big to run and too large
to fight, so all he can do is grin and
bear it. But when l get my diploma
from the hospital l will be Bad Bill
instead of a Sweet William, and |
hereby give fair warning to all the
universe. There is only one thing
hope for, and that is that the change
the doctors work in me won't be SO
radical that henceforth l will be root
ing for Magnus Johnson. So long
folks!
Come on in, the diet is fine!
Hungrily yours,
F. E. Hadley.

Every now shl then SOME cnterprising journal figure

Inc value TO the cation of the great American housewife. We

conclude this writing, but we do not hesitate to say that her
actual contribution to the nations wealth is worthy of con-
sideration.
There were approximately twenty millions of housewives in
TINS country in 1920. Undoubtedly that number has increased.
what was the housewives contribution to the national income
worth on the average? AS much as the average pay of domestic
servants? May We say $500 before the war and proportionately
more than that after the wages of domestic servants rose9
BASED on this ratio we find that in relation to wages paid for
men'aI labor the housewives of America who in group forma-

income eighteen and one half billions of dollars perbans tboSe

Liberty is the BattleCry of Brotherhood
The Man Behind the CarDuretOr

Sydney Anderson, of Minnesota, Chairman OF the JOINT
Committee of Agricultural Enquiry, which recently made an IN
vestigation of the various factors entering into the marketing or
farm products, makes it clear that the fads OF the city folk
and their demand for constant change and variety play quite
a part in the seemingly low prices paid to farmers for original
products.
In the ccsc Of a package of rolled oats retailing for 20 cents
which the original producer sold for 80 cents a bushel, the FOL
lowing proportions appear: The retailer got Al cents, OF which
81 cents represented expenses of doing business and l cent
his profit. The whocSa'" received Is cents of which 8 was
profit. The manufacturer got 90 cents of which 2 cents were
profit, - cents taxes, 16 cents transportation IL cents adver-
Using, 13 cents selling cost, and Is cents cost OF manufacture.
The elevator which handled the oats got 4 cents and the rail
road 5 and the farmer 35.
Fairmindcd men will see injustice in this price to the
farmer, yet no one seems to haze made eXtortlonate profit at his
expense.
1t is well, too, to consider the effect on prices Of the great
variety of goods of a like kind demanded by the public. There
are countless thousands of brands of al kinds OF goods multi
piled by the consumer to the point of absurdity. This means
large stocks must be carried by retailers, and capital tied up,
al of which the consumer has to pay.
( The farmer may be exploited by the trader, but the people
plainly are exploiting themselves.
