NAIL BITING
Readers often write to me, ask
ing for some method Of treatment
TO stop their children from biting
their fingernails. As far as stop
ping this one unlovely and unsani-
tary habit, the cure is very simple.
Dip the child's fingers several times
daily into q mild solution of alum
water. This water will keep the
alum on the fingers all day long.
After . few days the child will grow
disguised with the puckery taste
OF the alum which he will be sup
piled with every time he puts his
fingers in his r:outh. This is I
simple cure and always works, but
at the same time, 1t is advisable to
remove the real cause.
The nervous child is one who Is
irritated through improper feeding,
and also who lacks the power Of
controlled thinking because Of poor
mental training. Many children and
even adults develop similar queer
habits, such as picking the nose,
scratching the head, touching every
s~sssH F~Ss1 OsSfEAu& VII SVCAy C10CA
in the sidewalk, etc. Such people
are usually irritated by a toxic state
Of the body and, though they may
have strong mental powers, they
have failed to learn how to con-
centrate their mentality into def
mite fixed channels Of constructive
thought. Their minds are literally
q hodgepodge Of miscellaneous IDEAS
which they have not been able to
properly assemble in thinking to-
ward desired object.
A child can be easily trained into
good habits of thinking If he is
taught to practice certain mental or
physical exercise. A child who prac-
tees the piano every day will not
develop the habit Of nail biting.
Systemical physical culture exer-
cises taken once or twice daily will
also be Of great aid in training the
child into regular habits Of physical
motion. The adult who finds him
self nervously biting his fingernails
will find he can develop more mem

Editorial Comment
The Merger Is No Better Now Than It Was
Then
Duluth Herald

Duluth Herald)
: Representative L. j. Dickinson of Iowa, lead
er Of the farm bloc in the house, says that con-
gress is likely to have q look at some Of the
proposed railroad mergers, especially the
Northern merger.
And Mr.. Dickinson says that he is against
this proposal, and sees nothing in it that il
any better than it was when it was proposed
in 1904 and the country, led by Roosevelt, de-
feated it overwhelmingly.
He reminds US that when the supreme court
Of the United States ruled against this pro-
posal in the Northern Securities suit, Roose-
welt said: "The Northern Securities suit ID
one OF the great achievements Of my admins
tration. | look upon it with great pride, for
through it we have emphasized in signal fash
ion, as in no other way could be emphasized,
the fact that the most powerful men in this
country could be held to accountability before
the law"
Roosevelt is gone, and now the same pro-
posal to merge parallel and competing railroads
Is as fatty against the spirit of the present law
a. the Northern Securities proposal was
against the law Of that day.
1t is not proposal by railroad experts de-
signed to improve railroad service.
It is proposal by New York banking inter-
ests designed to improve the situation of rail-
road stockholders.
1t would create, in an area constituting near
~ half the area of this country, q monstrous
organization that would smother every aspect
of railroad competition.
1t Is the most abominable proposal Of the
kind that could be imagined, and the nation
will not tolerate It.

WASHINGTON ~
LETTER &M

It is sending out large gobs Of
editorialized propaganda In the
form Of newspaper stories on be-
half Of the Cyanamid bill, which
comes second only to farm relief
on the Federation's legislative pro.
gram for the coming session Of Con-
gress.
"That talk about cheap fertilizer
is 50 much camouflage," replies
Norris. New inventions in the
fertilizer industry have rendered
present equipment at Muscle Shoals
obsolete for fertilizer production.
The objects Of the private compan-
les Is to get the power there for
themselves and to keep the govern
ment out Of the power business at
Ill costs.
ut would take about 100000
horss power to obtain the same
amount Of nitrates 1T Muscle Shoals
which can be obtained elsewhere by
the much cheaper new process from
$4,000 horse power. These bills
like the Cyanamid bill are full Of
jokers. The power trust lost out
last year on the so-called fertilizer
bill which would have made the
company promise to make 10000
tons Of fertilixer-if It could make
IN s per cent profit on it. It il
absolutely impossible for the Cyan
amid company to make . profit like
that ct Muscle Shoals and If It gets
the lease We simply won't have our
fertilizer or our power"
ingle-handed, Uncle George has
fought off Henry Ford, Cyanamid,
power companies and al other In
teregts anxious to lease Muscle
Shoals. He wants the farmer to
have cheap fertilizer, but says it
can best be furnished II the gov
eminent uses it's profits on power
there to install the latest methods
Of nitrate production. Primarily he
IL anxious to have the government
produce the power, believing that
It could establish by its example
fair rates on electricity throughout
the country. He will have to make
his fight al over again in the next
Congress, and this time he may win
instead Of merely holding the others
of.

nents Of government operation ct

elsewhere, that electricity - an Inn

Cherry falling in love scores of

like this before? Why, the man re-
PEELED her She had not even been

ry was falling in love, she became
more sparkling, more scintillant,
more beautiful than ever. And
with Nils Cherry had been pale, al
most homely, except for that queer
moment Of anger in which she had
stamped her foot and called him 2
