ever, that the period for which such
bonds, which the legislature in its
judgment might deem it wise to
authorize, be not made to run over
a period greater than the average

our children the burden of paying FOR

Il would also insist that no plan

motor car the name of which is a
household word, and he wanted to
sell it. Disappointment came to him
when he took it to dealer. The
owners price was $780, The dealers
offer was $50.
'Td rather sell it bit by bit than
take any such price as that, "the
owner said indignantly.
So he went home and began to sell
the car by bits. First he got rid Of
the tires; he took in trade for them
another set not quite so good and
little cash. Next he snapped wind
shields; he took in exchange an older
windshield and little cash. He
continued to trade the car piece by

Fights Attack
on Coop Law
ORGANIZATION OPPOSED TO RE-
PEAL OF MARKETING LAW;
FRIENDS ASKED TO HELP DE-
FEAT OPPOSITION.

Predicted attacks on the Mime
sofa COOPERATIVE Marketing Law:
known as chapter 264, have made
their appearance before the Legisla-
ture and the Farm Bureau urges It's
members, and all other: friends of CO.
operative marketing in the state, to
get busy with their legislators and
defeat the efforts to either weaker
the act by amendments or to repeal
it.
A bill has been introduced by Sen
ator Tickling calling for the repeal
Of Section 26 and 81 and is now be-
fore the senate committee on mar
kets and marketing.
The passage of this bill would
greatly weaken the act and should
be defeated, but friends of the law
need to bestir themselves because
members of the legislature are being
flooded with inspired petitions ask
ing for the repeal Of these two i'm
portant sections of the law. These
petitions reveal powerful propa-
ganda at work in the state in the
interest of the enemies of co-opera-
tive marketing agencies which makes
necessary counter action by support
ers of farmer marketing associations.
1t is quite likely that other meas
ures aimed at the cooperative law
may come up during the Legislative
session.
The Farm Bureau also warns the
farmers of the state against placing
too much credence in the publicity
that has been directed of late agains.

Says He Hasn't
Changed Front

Following is a statement of Cover
nor Christensen as to his position.
past and present, in the matter of the
issuing OF the $20,00O,0OO good roads
bonds:
Il have not changed front on the
road bond question. l mold the same
opinion as | did two years ago.
"On the other hand, the proponents
OF the $2O,000,000 issue of additional
road bonds have abandoned their plan
and have announced their acGuie-
scence In proposal they rejected
two years ago, to take care of indebt-
edness already created under the
county reimbursement law instead Of
adding to the S33, 100000 with which
the state now stands charged an adj
ditional $2O,0OO,OOO.
The so-called county reimburse
ment law was, in my opinion, the
worst piece of road legislation ever
enacted in Minnesota. It delegated
to the counties the power to create
obligations for the state, and thu
proceeds of the bonds issued were
used for road construction and i'm
provement in response to local de-
mand rather than to statewide need
The reimbursement law did violence
to the principle underlying the state
trunk highway system, and it is for
tunate that among it's sponsors were
those to whom great credit is due
for the establishment of that sys-
tenn.
but the law was passed, and unde,
1t $50, 100000 in bonds nave been is
sued by the counties. That this in
debtedness constitutes legal
charge against state appears clearly
from the following language:
The State of Minnesota hereby
agrees to reimburse in the man
ner and to the extent hereafter
provided, all counties for mon
eys heretofore expended by them
subsequent to February /, 1919,
in permanently improved roads
described in Article Is of the
CONSTITUTION of the State of Min
nesOta.- (Sec /, Chap. 1874, Laws
of Mimi
mot only is the state obligated by
this Elwise and inequitable law te
reimburse the counties, but onl,
through reimbursement by the state
can the burden of paying them be
placed on the state highway fund.
If the counties are obliged through
a reputation of their obligations by
the state, ultimately to pay the same,
the burden would fall on the gen
eral tax payers.
As to the manner in which the
state should raise the money to meet
its obligation, l have little to say.
1t is question which the legislature
can solve without any suggestion
from me. Undoubtedly some reim-
bursement bonds, at least will have
to be issued, for unfortunately the
dates of maturity and amounts OF the
county bonds, instead of being eve
ly distributed, are grouped in such a
way as to place an impossible bur-

More Alfalfa Needed
on Minnesota Farms

Minnesota's ratio o. leguminous
crops is about one acre for every 16
acres of other crops and is much low
er than the ratio in some of the
neighbOring states. "Ihe ratio for
best yields of other crops and for
best results with livestock should be
one acre of legumes for every four
to six acres of other crops,' says A.
c. Army of the farm crops section at
University Farm. wisconsin and
Michigan have reached this goal. If
Minnesota is to keep step, it must in
crease its legume area from little
more than a million now to better
than three millions of acres. Mime
sofa has about 100000 acres of alfalfa
and more than a million and a half
dairy cows to feed. An acre of alfalfa
for every dairy cow is good aim"

SHAKING PALSY

TN 1917, over 100 years ago, Park
= inson. an English doctor, described
peculiar nervous disorder that has
since been known among doctors by
his name and by the public as shaking
palsy"
1t is|not very common disease yet
almost every village has one or more
cases. Beginning cases can often be
seen on the streets of any large city,
although it is less common in the city
than in the country.
It affects men more often than wo-
men and usually begins between fifty
and sixty years of age. 1t has two
principal symptoms, a shaking of the
hands and the head and a peculiar.
rigid condition of the muscles.
The shaking or tremor, as 1t is
! called, is characteristic and once seen
can hardly be mistaken for anything
else. 1t is a fine regular rythmical
movement, from three to five per sec
ond. The hands, whatever their posi-
ton, shake constantly yet without in
terfering in any Intentional movement.
That is, the patient can open and close
his hands, pick up or lay down a book.
paper or cup, yet all the while this
fine trembling goes on. If the head is
affected, it shakes no matter what
its position.
The trembling is increased by ex-
element and sometimes by efforts on
the part of the patient to stop 1t. Yet
strange to say, 1t ceases entirely dur
ing sleep. Sometimes the feet are
affected, producing constant motion
when the patient is sitting down and
interfering greatly with motion when
the patient tries to walk.
The other symptom is rigidity of the
muscles. They do not waste and are
apparently as strong as ever. Yet they
have a peculiar, dead, lifeless feeling.
The patient cannot make quick move
ments, such as turning book page or
folding a newspaper.
In walking, there is slow shufflins
gait with short steps. Some old peo
pie with this disease also complain of
sensation of heat and cold, of a crawl.

Of feeling. Usually the mind is not

AS no one knows the cause, no one
knows cure for shaking palsy.

HOW TO KEEP
WELL
DR.. FREDERICK n. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
t@ by Western Newspaper Union.)
WHAT CAUSES ECZEMA

EVERYBODY has had eczema at
some time or other, In mild or
severe form, in small localized patches
or In a general skin irritation. We all
know what 1t is and how Irritating
1t Is.
1t is the commonest skin disease
known, being nearly as common as all
other skin diseases combined. 1t has
many forms, but they all have the same
general features. 1t begins with red
ness and heat In the skin, over large
or small area. Then itching, varying
from slight annoyance to an almost
unbearable distress. There may be
some local swelling. The skin may
break out in an eruption, may form
crusts or scabs and may be intensely
painful. Under proper treatment or
sometimes with no treatment at all,
1t may disappear, without leaving any
scars, to return again with the same
symptoms.
While the causes Of some special
forms are known, no one knows the
cause Of the disease itself. 1t Is an
inflammation of the skin either all
over the body or only In certain spots.
Whether 1t Is disease of the skin
itself or simply the skin symptom Of
some general disease, no one knows.
1t has long been suspected that at
least some forms of eczema were due
to errors in diet. The fact that some
people who are particularly susceptible
to certain foods almost always have Q
skin eruption If they eat any of the
foods which disagree with them, would
seem to bear out this theory. Some
persons cannot eat strawberries, lob
ster and other foods without being vio-
lently sick. Usually the illness is ac-
cOmpanied by general or local at
tack of eczema.
These facts have lead to the sus-
picion that many If not most forms Of
eczema are due to some kind of food
which is irritating to the particular
person suffering from the disease. 1t
has long age been recognized that the
old adage which says that zone mans
meat is another mans poison" is lit
orally true. Our bodies are not all the
same. What one human body will
take in and absorb with benefit will
sicken and poison aonther.
Most of the food substances sus-
pected of producing eczema belong to
the protein group 1t has been found
that patients with chronic eczema are
often susceptible to eggs, corn. bar
ley. wheat, cheese, lima beans, pota-
toes, chicken, rye and other perfectly
good foods. Generally each person is
only susceptible to one or two Of these
foods. But feeding the patient on
the food to which he is particularly
susceptible generally causes an attack
of eczema. W
Are you subject to eczema? Find
out by careful trial and observation
what food or foods seem to bring on
the attacks Then let that food alone
and see if the eczema disappears.
The chemistry of living matter is a
strange and delicate subject. Study
your own body and find out what
agrees with you and what doesn't.
