Garbage collection is costing the city sSS,000 a year. whether it is worth it or not is matter of opin- ion. There may be truth in the as- sertion 1t cannot be done for less. The city until recently has been lucky in having a place to dump the garbage: this luck is vanishing as the surrounding towns turn down their thumbs on the practice. The city ultimately will be forced into erecting an incnerator and the cost will be heavy. -....-,........

from two to four cents more than at present. This is how the measure will affect everyone's pocketbook. The bill is q supertariff on the ce- reals we eat, and will raise the cost of living
 The McNary-Hausen measure has been 'improved"-from the agri- cultural standpoint-or made worse, from the consumers view. It now embraces cotton-gaining the sup port of southern congressmen- and also includes tobacco. which also pacifies the south and some other tobacco raising districts.
 The new federal farm board, to be created under the measure, would be a powerful body, collect ing the equalization fee" from pro- ducers, selling the grain surplus in foreign marts, and having an appro- priation of nearly s250, 100000 with which to begin their work. The main idea behind the bill Is to dump the American surplus into foreign countries at any price if may bring and raise the price to domestic consumers. There would be no doubt about that.-the domes- tic consumers in the end would pay everything and a nice profit in the bargain.
 American farmers in this manner hope to gain a price for their pro- duct approximately as high as they pay for the goods they buy. They have an argument in their favor, perhaps, when they claim that their scheme is exactly in effect like that worked by the tariff upon manufac- tured articles. The manufactured surplus, they point out, is shipped abroad at reduced rates while the domestic consumer pays the full rates. Perhaps that is true of some goods; but certainly not of most of the goods the farmers need. The free list has been designed to take care of them quite handsome ly. If the tariff really raises any prices these fall most heavily upon city consumers-exactly the same people the farmers are trying to hit with their own specially con- trived McNary Haugen scheme.
 Passage of this scheme of farm relief would stimulate farm pro- duction, causing big surplus to be disposed of, perhaps below cost Of production. Living costs for wage earners meanwhile would advance, the price of manufactured articles would rise in proportion, and the farmers would pay more for what they purchased. Our economics would be artificial in the extreme, with all the evils that flow from artificial regulation and stabilization.
 The east would be most heavily hit. As things now stand in Con eress, the eastern representatives seem to be the only gentlemen left to battle the scheme. It vas riddled at the last Congress, but the adhc- sion Of the southern Democrats by dint of the inclusion of cotton and tobacco was a master stroke by the farm bloc.
 Some observers profess to sec signs that the administration, seeing how popular thing it would be to do something" of this sort for the farmers. is losing it's pep in opposing the scheme. Certain 1t is that if President Coolidge ultimately changes front 1t will mean he is playing for western support in the thrust for a third term. The Presi- dents friends hope he will stick to his guns and not permit political possibilities to swerve him in case Congress passes this farm relief measure.

How to Keep It,

geia, the Health Magazine.
When men work too hard In
heavy clothing In conditions where
the temperature Is high and the hui
Nudity also. they are likely to suffer
unduly with the heat.
Since the external temperature is
high. the lost of heat from the body
by means Of conduction and radia.
ton stops: since the air is moist
evaporation from the surface of the
body is hindered.
When the heat regulating
mechanism breaks down. the tenn
F, perature of the body rises. This
stimulates the chemical changes go
ing on in the body and still further
! increases the production of heat.
Thus, the temperature continues to
rise and the chemical changes con-
| tinue to be fastened.
Some men do not perspire as
easily as others so that their skin is
hot and burning and the failure Of
fluid to evaporate from the surface
tends to stimulate still further their
body chemistry.
| If the blood vessels on the sur
face Of the body are dilated the
blood pressure is lowered and there
is some Interference with the circu-
lation OF the blood in the brain.
All of these things produce a
combination Of factors known as
heat-stroke.
When heat-stroke occurs. 1t is
necessary to get the person into the
shade as quickly as possible. When
there. the body may be cooled by
rubbing 1t with Ice or by exposing
1t to the movement of an electric
fan. At the same time, 1t is neces-
sary to see that the temperature of
the body does not fall too rapidly.
If 1t seems low, hot applications
should be placed around the arms
and feet to restore the circulation
and to keep the patient warm.
The temperature usually remains
more or less stationary and then
falls rapidly. Competent medical
advice should be secured immedi-
ately. as it may be necessary to give
drugs in order to stimulate the
heart and the failing circulation.
In view of the fact that there is
usually an accumulation of acid in
the system in connection with heat
stroke, many physicians prescribe
alkaline fluids and remedies to the
victim OF heat-stroke in order to
counteract the effects Of the acids.
