Medical Triumph
(By Carl Reynard)
A JINGLE

"Now open wide your mouth, young man,
And with his eagle-eye squint
Into Bills mouth he took.
Then Doctor Brown did growl and frown,
And drew back in surprise,
And said "your tonsils, little boy,
Are twice their regular size'
And let the doctor look"
He fluoroscoped and stethoscoped,
Percussed and analysed,
And in the end Bills adenoids
Proved to be double sized.
He deftly pared the adenOids,
He shared the tonsils too,
And Bill, recovering from the shock,
Had hoped that he was through
But Bill knew nothing of the germs,
Created just to fight u.s."
And fell a victim, later on,
To old appendicitis.
They rushed him off to operate
His little life to save,
But soon poor Willie Jones' remains,
Lay mouldering in the grave
This is story simply told,
That happens every day,
To children, that cared foT,
"In the good old fashioned way"
Who eat of foods, denatured
That will not sustain the life,
Then try to kill off bad effects,
With drugs and surgeons knife.
Some day all men will know disease
Is caused by unWise living,
Won't be assured that they'll be cured
BY medicines, Docs giving
New serums too and much ado,
''Why, this will save the race"
Tomorrow, someone finds some other
"Cure" to take its place.
Life-giving foods are really
All the medicines you need.
Eat these, and exercise, don't
Try the "cures" of which you read.
If you're boy, hope to enjoy.
Good health, you'd better run,
When you see Doctor Dopeem
With his serum squirting gun.

Gov. Ownership
of Coal Mines
Is Endorsed
British Royal Commission on
Coal Industry Suggests
Buying Royalties

London, Eng. - Government
ownership of coal mines in Great
Britain as device to remove the
royalty owners from the indus
try is endorsed by Sir Josiah
Stamp in an article on the coal
mine deadlock.
Mr. Stamp is president Of the eX-
ecutive of the London, Midland and
Scottish railway. He was also a
member Of the commission to inves-
tigate the disturbance in the coal in
dustry in June and July, 1925, and
the British representative on the
Dawes committee.
The article claims that even if the
whole royalty were wiped out 1t
would not solve the present problem.
1t amounts to not more than six
pence per ton, which is not enough,
he says, to raise the present wage to
a decent wage or to put the industry
on a solvent basis. Nevertheless, Mr..
Stamp believes it is a political and
social lrritant which should be IemoV-
ed:
ut rarely fails to rouse deep re
sentiment when it is graphically pre-
sented as a deliberate deduction from
the reward of the worker to be paid
over to the idle recipients Of inherit
ed fortune-especially if the owner
happens to be a duke. 1t stands as
a factor in the dispute far beyond its
intrinsic importance and to convey
the royalty to state ownership on
generous terms would be the best
possible tactics from a political
standpoint
Herbert Smith, president of the
Miners Federation, does not accept
Mr. Stamps views as to the relative
unimportance of the royalty question.
In a recent speech at a large gather
ing of miners he declared that it was
time the royalty owners, who were
nothing but parasites, were taken
from the backs of the miners.
The report of the Royal Commis-
sion on the Coal Industry, now before
parliament, recommended the pur-
chase of existing coal royalties by
the government. 1t is assumed that
it iNthe commissions recommends
ton which Sir Josiah Stamp ap-
proves.
The commission found that the
royalty owners are drawing six mil
lion pounds ($30,OOO,000) per year
out Of the coal industry and estimat-
ed that a reasonable price for the
government to pay for the royalty
rights would be one hundred million
pounds ($500, ,O00,00O). The commis-
sion points out that the government
would then be free to use its leasing
power to bring about more efficient
operation than now obtains under
private ownership.

You can gradually increase the
strength OF the milk so that at one
year she is taking whole milk; the
amount of vegetable pulp and cereal
may be increased and by all means
the child should have cod liver oil
Give one.half q teaspoonful to begin
with and increase one drop daily until
the child is taking at least two tea

doses. Please do not prop her UP

When she Is strong enough she Will
sit alone without props. Meanwhile
YOU are putting a strain on her back

FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME
MY Neighbor Says:

To keep the sink bright and
smooth rub well with soap once
a day. Dishcloths should be
washed and hung in the sun to
dry often in warm weather.
In removing spots from cloth
ing with gasoline a ring often
forms where the spot has been.
A little salt sprinkled in the
gasoline will prevent this.
Olives opened for some special
occasion, when all are not re-
quired. may be kept almost in
definitely IL olive, oil be poured
into the bottle. The oil, being
! light, rises to the top of the
,sliQuid I'm which the olives are
stored and. thus keeps out the
air., .lss ~:
Don't throw away stale loaves
of bread, tea cakes. etc. Dip
them in cold water--if very dry,
leave them in for a few min.
utes--then place in a moderate:
ly hot oven until well heated
through. The result Will be
beautiful light bread or cakes.
A coat of whitewash is a val.
liable disinfectant. 1t preserves
food, and If properly prepared
is a fire retardant.
If your clothing catches fire
you will only make matters
worse by running. as running
fans the fire. The best thing to
do is to wrap yourself at once
in some heavy material and roll
on the floor. This smoothers

Planning This Weeks Food.

Loganberries are not so widely used
as some of the old standbys, and this
is a pity, for they have a particularly
rich flavor. The loganberry toast as
served at Sunday breakfast is es-
pecially delicious and is prepared like
other fruit toasts. Have the fruit
either hot or cold and pour over slices
Of crisp unbuttered toast.
II there Is fruit left after opening
the can. 1t may be used either for
loganberry cobbler or as special fruit
dessert.
To make the cobbler prepare the
fruit as for the toast and serve in in.
dividual dishes with a top crust Of
thin squares of baking powder biscuit
dough nicely Drowned.
The loga nbcrry dessert is the con.
tribution of one OF our fruits. This is
made by combining orange cubes
scooped out OF the halved fruit and
the pulp of the berries. The juice from
each is carefully blended to suit the
individual taste, and the whole is
served In pretty glass dish with the
