BALTIMORE, July 5.-If
you'd know what the popula-
ton of New York will be in
1000 A. D., go ask the rats.
The studies of a rats growth
in John Hopkins University
here have resulted in the dem
onstration that the increase in
a given region can be foretold
with almost unbelievable ac-
curacy.
The cycle of expansion found
in plants also applies to human
life and its progress, the
scientists hold.

So firm are the officials in this

q long piece for the st. Quentin
paper. Init he told OF the public

gave thought to the city any more.
He summed up his communication

store st. Quentin to its lost place

Blessing in Disguise

The rain which fell early last week, while il
viewed with displeasure by some. seems to have
been blessing in disguise. ,
The chilly weather and the heavy downpour. which
made many wonder if there would be anything left
of apparently bumper yield, has passed. and in
dications are that little il any damage was done.
There were some reports Of lodging Of wheat, but
on the whole the total loss was small And the
benefit to corn, potatoes. flax and late grains far
outweighed it. Harvesting was delayed a few
days. of course but there will be little decrease ir
the yield.
Another benefit is the additional moisture stored
in the ground for next year. The warm days of the
last month drew out much of the moisture which
early summer rains brought. The additional rain
nsures sufficient moisture to carry the 1928 crop
goodly way into the summer and with the normal
amount of rainfall next year there should be little
doubt that the crop will through without dam

Editorial Comment
Seventeen Cents an Hour
St. Paul Dispatch)

Farmers and those members of the family capable
of active work on the farm, earned as wages last
year, II cents an hour. In this II cents was in
cluded house rent and food grown on the farm.
That is the result of survey made by the farm
management section of the Minnesota Agricultural
Experiment station The survey covered one route,
embracing number of FARMS in Pine county and
another in the vicinity Of Crookston.
The Pine county route showed wage rate o.
1G IL cents an hour andsthe Crookston route. II
cents. In the former the entire family earned
1864 year; in the latter. $1y027.
The artisan who holds for 81 an hour and gets it
would regard his return to the farm on that basis
as suicidal.
Until that situation is remeded all the efforts
to thaw the frozen assets of forecosed or abandoned
land will be unavaing. -
There can be no restoration Of agriculture until
the farm wage somewhere nearly approaches in
parity that Of the other industries.

Service
BY DIR. NORRIS FIsHBEIN

Editor Journal Of the American
Medical Association and Of Hygeia,
the Health Magazine
Some years ago the word "dys.
pepsia" was one to conjure with. II
was the great American disease, now
transferred into the possibly more
scientific term nervous indigestion
In a recent consideration Of this
condition, DR.. w. e. Alvarez points
out there is tendency to overdo
the use Of bran and that nowadays
one Of the simplest ways Of helping
dyspeptic patients is to take away
their bran mush and mullins. Bran
is used because Of its indigestibility
and is prescribed for persons who
need roughage in the diet. People
with irritable digestive organs, how
ever, are likely to be upset by the
use of bran, and to suffer with gas
distention and other symptoms.
Some people, require smooth. soft
diets and cannot tolerate rouGhage.
Persons with. irritable bowels should
eat no coarse foods containing fiber,
skins, seeds or gristle. They must
avoid salads with celery, tomatoes,
cucumbers and pineapple; they must
avoid green vegetables, raisins, ber-
ries and jams containing many seeds.
If they suffer. unduly with, gas, they
must eliminate from their diets
beans, cabbage, onions, green or red
peppers, melons, cucumbers and pea
nuts. Chewing gum is useful for
cleansing the mouth and exercising
the jaws but some people swallow
mir with the saliva and suffer later
with gas distention.
Among the items suggested by
DR.. Alvarez for soft diet are break
fast including orange juice or grape
fruit; coffee if desired, in modera-
tion., OF. else chocolate, cocoa or tea;
eggs with ham or bacon, avoiding the
tou~h parts Of the bacon; bread or
toast with butter, and any smooth
mush. Graham bread il permitted,
but not coarse. whole-wheat bread.
For lunch or dinner, he suggests
fruit cocktails, avoiding the fiber Of
the fruit. broths. cream soups and
chowder, and meat, fish or chicken,
avoiding the fibrous parts and the
gristle. Smoked fish, pork. crab
and lobster are delicate experiments.

ters may be tried occasionally.

Americans are looking for investments that yeit
more ON the dollar than savings banks will allow
according to DR.. John s. Noffsnger, secretary oil
: the National Home Study Council, in an address al
Washington recently. He cited the fact that in
1925 workers pushed almost two billion dollars ovel
the counters Of savings banks but that in 1926 they
deposited less than billion and half.
1.-THE cry Of our bankers for thrift and savings
through banks is losing out to the plea of brokers
who offer investments at higher rate Of return,
declared DR.. N0ffsinger 1T is estimated that out
of the national income Of seventyfve billions about
twelve billions saved last year by individuals
of this sum were invested in new capital issues.
Savings deposited in banks accounted for 81 500. :
100000 while the remainder went chiefly 10 pay
for life insurance. installments real estate and
shares in building and loan associations"
This, Of course, is an unwelcome trend for the
banks. They will say, how foolish to take risk t.
get six per cent on such small sums Of money as q
cent is available at almost any bank land the
Logic of their reasoning cannot be questioned.
Five hundred dollars out at seven per cent for
year will bring in thrty-five dollars if the divi
dends paid. Five hundred 1hiollars deposited
in bank and earning four and ,alf per cent, will
bring in twenty-five dollars and fifty cents year,
difference Of only twelve dollars and fifty cents,
Of knowing that the original five hundred is safe and
may be obtained almost minutes notice il
necessity demands.

Boston Reads of the Black Hills
Minneapolis Journal)

In Boston, where the inhabitants geography comes
from the movies and they know the people of the
country west of New England are mostly Indians.
with few Buffalo Bills and Kit Carsons scattered
about in the great open spaces, at least news
paper is serving its readers in keeping with their
conceptions Confronted by the task of describing
the strange region into which the President has
ventured for his vacation this newspaper leaps out
into the picturesque West, and back with this
geographical gem:
Halt way up the hill from Pierre to Dead
wood, one comes across the grave Of Wild Bill 1
Hickok and beside it. ct her own request, is the
grave of Calamity Jane
There You have the unerring eye for the stor;ed

and has been deceived by the rarefied atmosphere
that telescopes distance Only the eye Of tender
foot could be SO deceived in South Dakota as to
believe the two hundred mile stretch sof country
between Pierre and Deadwood to be a single hill,
but that is what happens sometimes to people who
venture far from Boston.
And as South Dakota has its two hundred milo
hills So too does it have its wider spaces all
about them. For the Boston newspaper goes on to
depict the scenes for it's readers:
Even today, in that wild country, loneliness
is appealing for the ranchers' wives. Some
times one woman may not see another for six
months. When child is lost, which happens
quite often in that Wild open country. the
signal to begin the search is six rings On the
telephone bell in every house in the broad dis
