Democrats Discuss
Platform Planks
In Preliminary Meet

Portland, Maine. Mar. % (AP)-
Democratic warehouses; and others not
SO long in the service, including the
ladies'. were given an opportunity at
public meeting in the city council
chamber tonight to express their
viWs fully on platform building, on
the eve of the biennial Democratic
convention.
Some of the leaders, fearing pos
sible unfavorable results from an
open forum, such as was held at
Lewiston two years ago, when the
ku klux Khan and the rum issue
were debated almost to the exclusion
of other subjects, desired that the
proposed drafts of plans be consid-
cred by the state committee behind
closed doors.
The question was settled at meet
ing of the committee late this after
noon, at which it was decided In
favor of the open meeting, which
would give the delegates an oppor-
tunity to 'let off steam. and thus
save time in arguments on the floor
of the convention tomorrow.

Exercise
After months of inactivity during
winter, most men take up strenuous
exercise suddenly, doing themselves
real harm. The summer active life
should be approached gradually. Vio-
lent exercise of any kind should be
avoided by people with disease of the
heart, liver or kidneys. 1t is only the
young and rugged, who are in train
ing the year round who can stand two
or three sets Of tennis or a twelve in
ming baseball game in the hot sun. The
old boys should confne themselves to
the more leisurely golf, but don't lose
your temper-that is bad in hot
weather. If you don't play golf, there's
nothing left but pitching horseshoes
in the shade Of the old apple tree.

Wide Open Spaces Still

People seem to have an idea that

ager and producer of the Worlds
Championship Rodeo, which is to be
staged in the Stadium as part of the
Sports Program of the Sesqui-Cen-
tennial Exposition, July II to July 81.
"That is a mistake. The cattle coun-
try still exists and always will. In
deed, larger ranches than ever are be-
ing formed today as the big syndicates
buy up the smaller outfits and throw
them together. Some of the new
combinations cover as much as 100000
acres"
"Rodeo" is a Spanish word meaning
rounding up of cattle on the open
range. In the Spring and Fall of each
year, the various ranches of region
round up and separate their stock.
Naturally a rivalry developed early
among the outfits in the matter Of
sports, most of which were the cow
boys own devising. This was the
beginning of the cowboy contests.

"(2) Can you tell me of better

"(3) What causes sciatica? A

Reply-O Some consider sulphur
as having considerable curative value
in sciatica, and it occasionally does
apparently relieve the condition. 1t is
not poisnous and is speedily elimiat-
ed.
(2) Roofing out any focal infec-
ton, removing possible pressure from

the surest methods of bringing about
a certain cure.

ing next Monday and we will celebrate
the occasion by considering some
warm weather "do's" and "don'ts" on
this beautiful June day.
During the warm season our physi-
ology is vastly different from what it
is in cold weather, and it is necessary
that we adapt ourselves accordingly.
Follow, then, some suggestions which
while they could be materially en-
larged upon will suffice to call atten-
ton to the more important features of
our mode of living during this time of
the year.
Diet
In cold weather when it is a case
of everything going out and nothing
coming in" so far as bodily heat is
concerned, we eat Eskimo desert-fat
But in the good old summertime when
when we are trying to get rid of the
surplus heat within us, fats are taboo.
And so all along the line, the summer
dietary is practically the opposite of
the winter bill Of fare.
The wise ones will cut down on food
during hot weather, and the real wise
ones will do this to the extent Of fifty
per cent. Prudent people will con-
fine themselves to fruits and vege-
tables, and eat little meat, pastries,
condiments, and other stimulating
foods. They will also see to it that
their foods are fresh and clean-to
which end ice is an absolute necessity
during the heated season.
Smoking
Smoking is unquestionably more
harmful in hot than cold weather, and
the smoker will find it to his advan-
tage to cut down on the tweed" dur
ing the next two months, albeit smok-
ing out-of- doors is far less injurious
than it is indoors. Thin, blond cigars
should replace the fat, black ones. The
old pipe should be laid aside and given
a much-needed rest. Cigarettes are
permissible, but package should be
made to last two or three days.
Drinking
There is a natural desire in hot
weather to fill up on cold drinks. But
taking ice water and cold "soft"
drinks with the idea of cooling off is
delusion. The so-called "soft" drinks
are harder on the stomach than some
real hard drinks. If you really want
to get cool let some cold water run
over the wrists for five minutes and
drink bowl of hot soup. Whatever
may be said for or against prohibition,
it is fact that beer is less harmful
than ice water, because it's alcoholic
content promotes it's rapid elimination
and offsets the evil effects of it's low
temperature.
Ventilation
During warm wearther, when doors
and windows are open day and night,
the openings should be guarded
against insects, especially flies, mos
quitoes, and spiders. Carelessness in
this regard has cost many lives.
Drafts should be studiously avoided
Summer cold" is an obstinate crit
ter, and many people suffer more be-
cause they think they have hay fever.
Doctors convert lot of these drafts
into cash. When electric fans are used
they should not be turned directly
against the body Some light bed COW
ering should be used, except in ex-
tremely hot weather.
Clothing
Because of the greater activity of
the skin during this time of the year
the underwear should be changed more
often. Babies should not be swathed
in fannels. They don't like it any
more than you woodland they don't

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
By GEORGE T. HUGHES.

This Is the first Of series OF ar
terms as the subject will allow the
meaning Of the financial statements
i'm which corporations report their
nroeress to their stock holders. The
subject is peculiarly timely because
Of the interest aroused by the criti
cisms Of Prof Ripley of Harvard. the
we'll known economist. on current
practices and his insiStence on more
detailed information than is ordinarily
given.
The viewpoint taken here will be
ALWAYS that of the investor. Other
classes are vitality concerned with the
ANALYSIS of financial statements-the
banker in order to decide whether a
loan may be safely made, the whole
saler that he may know how much
credit to extend to the retailer, ana
the accountant, whose business IL the
construction of these statements. All
these. however are able more or less
RI take care of themselves. They are
trained specialists. but the ordinary
eyer-ydav investor is in great need OF
guidance. He is urged to demand a
balance sheet and an income account
before he BUYS securities of any kind
but in the majority of cases. even
when the figures are supplied. he does
not know how to interpret them 1t
is to aid this group that these articles
have been prepared.
No profession of originality is made
except possibly as to the manner OF
treatment. which will be as elemen-
rary as possible. AS far as may be,
nothine. will be taken for granted. and
the terms used Will be explained as
the series goes on.
AS the case stands today. the greater
number of the annual reports cor
no,ations make TO their stockholders
are wasted, in that the figures are
presented in a form understandable
only by the expert. a few companies
have attempted to make their state
ments plain 10 the ordinary reader.
They are exceptions. Equally mystic
,.ious TO the average man are the sta
tistical data which accompany the Of
ferine circulars Of new issues. In
this case also 1t is hoped that light
may he thrown on what seems To most
Of MS a dark matter.
