nay FEVER TND ASTHMA

Az warm days occur with greater
,reouency, and the buds begin to swell
no are reminded that blossom time
u,;ll be with US before long. This is
one of the most beautiful times of
.he wear but what an abundance of
.oony it holds out for those who suf-
for from hay fever and asthma. Did
vou ever stop to think that this is
very unnecessary since both of these
maladys can be prevented if started
in the spring, by the simple means of
diet. But there, / knew it. Had
held forth a promise of magical
cure in the shape of medicine, people
would flock around for it and would
have taken it, no matter how unplea-
SAINT. People spend quantities of
money changing climate, and taking
special treatments and frequently Sc
cure no permanent cure. But suggest
diet and Immediately we thow up
our hands and say, Impossible,
simply couldn't do it." I've even
heard them say, "I'd rather die than
20 without my coffee" or what ever
it may be.
Never the less here it is. A diet
that if followed absolutely has ac-
tually eliminated discomfort from
both diseases. If you are subject to
either or both, and if you have the
will power and determination which
says, II can do anything that / real
ly set my mind to- try it. You'll
not be disappointed.
According to DR.. Caroline Hedger
hay fever and asthma are due to
food sensitization, because of an over
abundance of nucleo-protein. People
who suffer from these diseases are
carrying in their systems a maxi
mum amount of this type of protein
and when they add that of the pollen
which is itself germ or nucleo-pro-
tein, the nerve ends are irritated and
the suffering follows.
1t has been proven out that by
eliminating all of this type of pro-
tein from the diet the nucleo-protein
level is so lowered that the additional
amount furnished thru the pollen is
not sufficient to cause the irritation,
and suffering is eliminated. The treat
ment consists of leaving out of the
diet any food containing the seed,
germ or life giving property. Below
is list of foods which may and may
not be eaten.
Must eat daily: Ito keep up the
protein balance) One quart of milk,
one pint of cottage cheese, two egg
whites.
May eat:-White bread, baking
powder biscuit, butter, cream, polish
ed rice, macaroni, spaghetti, etc. An
gel food or any cake made only with
the whites of eggs, salad dressing
without egg yolks, tapioca without
egg yolks or berries. All root vege-
tables such as beets, turnips, car
rots etc. Potatoes if the skins are
removed deep enough to eliminate
the eyes. All large fruits in which the
seeds are removed, cherries; milk, egg
whites, cheese. Leafy vegetables as
cabbage, celery, lettuce, spinach. (Do
not eat if gone to seed). Pie if made
OF large fruit as apple, peach, plum,
etc. Sugar and candy which does not
contain chocolate or nuts.
Must Not Eat:-Meat, fish, Or flesh
OF any kind. Egg yolks or any food
made with them. Whole grained GER

EDITORIAL
Keep In Step

This paper deyoutly hopes our
islanders will keep in step next
Thursday with the general march
of Americans elsewhere. That
is our National day of Thanksgiv-
ing. A great conviction has taken
hold of the American people dur
ing the past few months, that what
this nation needs most right now
is not more law but more religion.
Not more pomp and power, but
more of a thankful spirit for the
blessings which have come to us
from the Giver of every good and
perfect gift.
President Coolidge has issued
his proclamation and it comes
from good simple American
heart. In it he asks the American
people to gather in their churches
and homes and observe the day
in thanksgiving and prayer, Some
of the island churches viii hold
a public service on that day. Are
you planning to attendY If not
then hold that service in your own
home. A big dinner will be pre-.
pared th0t day in most homes and
the children will be there to helr
eat it. Just before you start serv
ing the plates. and while all art
gathered at the table, let no head
Of that house dare to start "eat.
inc and drinking and being mer.
ry" without having everyone Of
that circle bow the head and the
one who occupies the head Of the
table Offering a word of thanks
giving to God. Maybe you haven
prayed for year, or ten years, OF
maybe never, turn over a new
leaf, fall into line with the spirit
of the day, and in your own home
circle thank God for being so goot
to you and yours during 1925
1t will do you good, it viii do tn,
children good, and it will do YOU
nation good. Keep in step witt
the army of over a hundred mil
lion Americans.

United We Stand

1t was during the war of 1l76
that one great American issued
the statement that the colonists
must hang together or they d
hang separately" The News
Record feels like putting a finish
ing touch to the caption of this
article United we stand" AT
ter you state that Omitted we
stand" it is just as true to add,
divided you fall" If the is
land stands unitedIy together, it
will stand. If it divides, the divi-
der is bound to fall. The island
is going ahead. 1t is going to
grow and deyclope as the months
succeed each other on the calen-
Oar. OF this there S no doubt. The
only doubtful thing is whether
everyone on the island is going to
be wise enough and loyal enough
to see that the only one that's go
ing to be injured and left behind
in the ranks is the one who falls
out of line. It's easy to get dis
gruntled. But no one has any
time to waste on listening to the
tale of woe of someone who has
lost step, falls behind the process
sion, and begins to croak.
No, united we stand, divided
you fan. No matter what has
happened in the dim distant past
to hurt your feelings, or disap
point your ambitions, or fade your
dreams, or soil your rainbcwS
it's done, It's past and gone, The
mistake is made and the die is if
rcvocably east,
The only thing of importanc'
is how are you going to conti6uy
taking it, Are you going to NOPE
inyour tent, or sulk in your camp

or like Rachael refuse to be com
forted2 Never think of such a
thing. Get on your feet, rub your
Shins, catch step with the crowd,
and fall in line with the big march.
This applies not only to people
but communities. No community
ever grew strong and mighty by
trying to build upon the ruins Of
another community that was torn
down. The old quarrel Of Tacoma
and Seattle shouldn't be our quar-
rel. No doubt we all have friends
in each city, If you wish to call
the Mountain Mt. Rainier, call it
that. If you'd rather call it by
the more euphonious name of Ia
coma you are privileged to do
so. If you live at Burton and
didn't favor the pavement being
extended to the south end of the
island, enjoy the pavement on the
north end and know you got your
way. If you live at the north
end and favored the pavement a
cross the entire island, enjoy
what's in front of your door anG
keep still. If you live at Portage
and lost the Des Moines ferry you
feel that you didn't get a square
deal This paper most heartily
agrees with you that you didn t
get a square deal. But you still
have the Sound east of you, and
ON the other side of the Sound
there 5 land, People are still MAX
ing boats and there's another day
ahead-some time you may get
that ferry run on again. But it
does 10 good to get pessimistic
and start nagging. Buck up and
the rest of the island will help
you, when the time comes, TO get
the transportation you are entitl-
ed to.
The islander who is out of step
is very few in number, We ac-
tually know of none. The Com
munity Home gatherings prove
that. Almost every neighborhood
on both islands has been repre-
sented at these home entertain
ments. 1t looked good at both
kempy and the Goodwill Festival
to hear the Home calling to every
community on the island, aud see
the call answered by their pre-
sence. The last thing to be bur
ried now is the feeling of local
superiority on the island, Bur
ton is as good as Vashon, and Cove
is as good as Ellisport, and Dock
ton is as good as Lisabeula, and
Vashon Heights is as good as
Southern Heights, and Center is
as good as Magnolia Beach, and
Portage is as good as the whole
blamed combination put together
The eye cannot say of the foot
81 have no need of thee" One
community cannot say of any 9th

of thee. :" This entire island, from
Dockton and Tahlequah, to Wash.

of each other. We should stand
by each other in neighborliness
in sociability, and in mutual bu.
siness dealings. 1t is only by

PULLMAN COMPANY AND
 ITS SCRCHARGE

Basking in delightful returns from the surcharge in Pullman fares { h at is allowed under the decisions of the Interstate Com. merce Commission, the Pullman company h a g had wonderful year. The company had declared dividends for half a century with out fail, but the year of its great est prosperity has been in 1925. Why tn Q Pullman company i should be allowed to infiict a fat surcharge on Pullman accommo- dations is entirely beyond the ken of those who have to pay it. The Pullman company this year opcr- atcd S,510 cars, and every passen- ger patronizing them had 10 pay a surcharge in addition 10 the regu- lar Pullman rates.
 Attempts have been made by various organizations to eliminate or reduce the surcharges. but 10 the present time such efforts have been unavailing. At the last Con- gress an attempt was made to have the surcharge repealed by attach- ing an amendment 10 an appropria- ton bill. which passed the Senate but was lost in the House. Later the attempt by the International Federation of Commercial Travel CTS before the I. c. c. also failed, although some members of the commission were of the view a re- duction might be possible.
 The Pullman company drummed up considerable additional business this year by making low rates to organizations and in connection with vacation travel, turning what threatened to be a bad year into the best in its history.
 And this big and prosperous company. which reaches into the pockets of travellers with an oner- ous surcharge not based on reason or justice, goes so far as to expect the public that if mulcts to pay most of the wages of it's colored employees, the portors. The public, hit by the high surcharge rate, has reduced it's tips to the portcrs, causing unrest among the Georges" who look after the comfort of Pullman travellers.
 The public would much prefer to hand the surchargc to the por- tcrs than to the Pullman company, as the porters at least need it,

EDITORIAL WRITER AND
 MINING STOCKS

Frank l. Cobb for years was the chief editorial writer of the New York World. He was regarded as the greatest editorial writer in the country, a close personal friend of at least one President, and the friend of innumcrable statesmen. politicians and prominent men,
 Cobb dlcd in September, 1923. Probate of his estate. just com rl,tcd. brought out that he left 2S,G19 10 his widow, who lives in Weston. Conn.
 This isn't much of an estate for man whose earning power was considered much for a writer. Per- haps. like innumerable ot h r brainy men. Cobb did not believe in soaking his h an q g with glue when he handled money.
 And among the items listed in tHc estate were SC0 shares of Pro- tegcne gold mines stock. listed as worthless, Cobb probably wrote many an editorial warning h c public against investing in gold mine stock. We must conclude he wrote such editorials from convic- lion and experience.

A BLACK SPOT ON PAROLE SYSTEM

The "career" of Fred Brown, the 'lifer" who was shot to death yesterday while attempting 10 es- cape from the Nebraska penten- tiary forms sad commentary upon the parole and pardon system.
 This weak minded person first came 10 the attention of the law at the age of 16, when he was con- victed upon charge of numbering an elderly couple. He was given an indeterminate term, but was par doncd after serving seven years.
 Instead of being reformed, he promptly committed new crimes, and served several sentences for burglary and theft. Tn 1920 he was sentenced to ten years for grand larceny, but soft-hearted individu- als sympathized with him and he was paroled.
 Finally he kidnapped two women, keeping them chained in a hut for two days, and a would-be rescuer was also chained up. After he was caught for this crime he was sen- tenccd to life imprisonment. Before he could be paroled or pardoncd again, he tried 10 escape and was shot 10 death by a guard.

COST OF CATCHING RATS AND PLEAS

How politics works in a great city was disclosed in the report of an investigator who declared 1t costs the city of New York $72 10 catch each rat taken by the civic rat-catching authorities, to wit the Board Of Health.
 And that 1t costs the board S77 for each flea killed.
 Frank D. Waterman, Republican mayoralty candidate, sponsored the statistics through his Investigation aid, and added the "bon mot' that Tammany got money from the city to fight fake epidcmcs.
 Now if Mir. Waterman could show voters that, if elected, he would reduce the cost of catching rats to about $66 each, and d the cost of killing fleas to about $53 per insect. grateful New Workers might elect him mayor.
