Roach Stratton has stirred up SO
much argument in Manhattan. !.
It is a strange scene into which one
plunges fresh from the austere stoni-
ness of Fifth Avenue.
A scene of low-burning candles
and tumblers filled with amounting
oil, of sobbing women and signing
girls and a few pain-wracked and
hopeless looking men, of old women
in strangely ancient hats and
dresses, of whispered prayers and
hallelujahs. Just about the last
thing one would expect just around
the corner from the gay fashion
parade, the French decorations of the
shops and the dignity Of the Uni

without the accustomed feeling Of
languor most people expect after 4
hearty meal. If you do this, you will
be surprised and delighted to awak-
en- each morning with m eagerness
for breakfast you have not exper.
fenced in many years.
But remember, q strong desire for
wholesome food will not be possible
unless you exercise your body each
day, and encourage your muscles to
call for more nourishment. Men.
tai exercise alone is not sufficient
to give you that normal hunger you
enjoyed as an active youifgster.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: B. A. asks: "What
causes subzormal temperature Of
from one 20 two degrees? It runs
from two degrees in the morning
to one below in the afternoon. My
blood pressure is low and / am cold
all the time. What would be the
causes of these different condi-
tions ?"
Answer: A subnormal tempera-
ture, with a low blood pressure,
shows that you are greatly enerv-
ated and require q very definite
course in physical culture to bring
your strength back to normal. Be-
sides regulating your diet carefully,
the one thought for you to keep in
mind, and to practice in principle,
is to increase your exercises each
day, both by taking calisthenic exer-
cises and by long walks.
Question: E. S. asks: "Will you
kindly advise as to the effect Of raw
sauerkraut juice upon the system,
and whether or not you would rec.
ommend it for constipation?
Answer: The effect of sauerkraut
juice is mostly to increase the &C.
ton Of the intestines and therefore
it must be considered the same "a o
laxative. Of course, the juice from
sauerkraut contains many valuable
organic minerals but the large
amount Of salt used in the prepare
ton Of sauerkraut nullifies much Of
the good effect which can be more
wholesomely secured from plain raw
cabbage.
Question: F. Y. asks: "Will you
kindly tell me If an operation
for hernia is necessary? II not,
- 80 10 know the best way
Of removing it."
.-....e4: An operation for hernia
or rupture is seldom necessary, as
this trouble can generally be cured
through developing the abdominal
muscles which, when well developed,
will hold back the protruding peri
toneum wall. It is well to wear 4
suitable support which lightly holds
the rupture in place but does not
'protrude into the, weak spot.

Congress

J The SEVENTEEN congress is on trial. 1t may
/ almost be said that congress rs an American
/, institution is on trial.
{ The impression is becoming pretty general
that it is not what it used to be- that the caliber
of most of the members is not as high as it
:was in former years; that the things it does are
frequently, too frequently, foolish and ill-ad-
.vised; that the things it omits to do are neces-
sary and important. Worst of all, there is a
growing feeling that this body. gradually fall
ing as legislature for this great country. is
I. usurping an Importance that under the conStl-
tuition it does not possess.
We have seen congress involved In lntermln-
able disputes that took time from important
legislation. We have seen it tangeitself in it's
own rules so that the final hour has struck
without action on important measures. We
have seen federal employees remain unpaid for
weeks and months because necessary apprOpria-
ton bills have not been passed. No one can
read the official report of the proceedings of
congress without being struck by the amount
of tim ewasted in frivolous discussion to the
neglect of the nations vitality important bust
ness.
But that is not all. Since 1920, four con-
crosses have been in session, counting the one
in existence in that year, Each one of them
has refused to obey the plain mandate of the
constitution to fedistrict the house of represent
atives in accordance with the federal census.
Never before has congress dared take such an
attitude. This one fact speaks, in language all
can hear, the deterioration of congress, and it's
usurpation Of power in disregard of the funda-
mental law of the land.
The unnber of people who hold congress in
contempt is growing. It is evidenced by the
<fact that it Isl becoming harder and harder to
secure candidates who can rally the support of
the best minds of the community. Too often a
congressional election is choice between two
evils. This, Of course, is partly the fault of
the community itself, which has grown care
less of its national representation, and supinely
lets the office 60 to the most blatant self-seek-
'er. But it is also the fault of congress-, which
had made itself body to which efficient men
too often feel it is no honor to belong
The SEVENTEEN congress has now begun to
make history. 1t can add to the decline of con-
gress in popular esteem of following in the
footsteps of it's immediate predecessors. Or il
can turn about, do its work quickly and eff
GENTLY, and restore itself to honor by showing
that it is subservient to law. It can do this in
no other way more surely than by insisting
that the house be reapportioned, and by fran.
ing some scheme of reapportionment that will
make such scandal as has characterized the
last four congresses impossible forever in
future.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Of all the
annual reports of the government
departments, none is more inter-
esting than that of the secretary of
labor, which deals with men and
their jobs, employers and employees
and even with women and children.
Secretary Of Labor James j.
Davis emphasizes the Happiness

but he does not overlook some. of
the shaded spots which are becom-
ing darker. His report is much
more than an optimistic blurb.
Although he refrains discreetly
from citing estimates of some Of
his best experts, Davis warns that

they can be absorbed in new pur-
suits"
The Labor Department report
reached the office soon after the A.

It was a dramatic appeal: "Seven
