that this would be his last round.
"And what should I take now?" he

in a terrible lie.
"Well, mon," replied the caddie,

CHRONIC DISORDERS OF
CHILDHOOD

I am convinced that faulty feed
ing is the principal cause Of all dis
orders Of children. This is true in
the so-called children's diseases,
which are only acute manifestations
Of chronic disorders, and, Of course.
likewise true Of every one Of the
common types Of disease which
children develop.
The baby's troubles are mostly
constipation, flatulence, enlarged
tonsils and adenoids, bronchitis,
worms, and skin rashes. Every one
Of these troubles are directly due to
faulty diet and no other cause. AS
the child grows older these same
troubles persist with perhaps the
additional fault that the child is
either underweight or overweight.
These chronic disorders and symp-
toms can be entirely prevented by
careful feeding habits, and also be
easily cured If parents will take the
time and t. ouble to study the
science of feed chemistry and con-
scientiously force their children to
follow the proper dietetic rules.
know from my experience with
dieting thousands Of children that
it is impossible for a child to develop
enlarged tonsils or adenoids unless
he uses too many starches or sugars.
When these foods are eliminated or
greatly reduced and the proteins and
green vegetables increased, the tom
sis always reduce to their normal
size, and can then properly perform
their mysterious function of assist
ing in the balancing of the metabol-
ism of the growing child.
Bronchitis is caused principally by
the same indiscriminate use of the
carbohydrates and hydrocarbons, and
can be easily prevented or cured by
very simple dietetic changes.
The child who is underweight is
starving for proteins and the or
ganio minerals and vitamins. It is
never because he eats too little food,
for stuffing on every kind of food
will not bring about the desired in
crease in weight. The under
nourished child needs food of the
right quality, and not an increased
quantity. Often, cutting down the
amount Of food used will relieve the
overburden Of stuffing to which the
child has been subjected, and he can
then really digest and assimilate g
small amount Of the right kind OF
food elements.
Skin rashes are due almost wholly
to improper combinations Of food.

starches and acids, the combination

Washington, Nov. 8.-The presi-
dental candidacy Of the Hon.
Charles Curtis, senator from Kansas,
either means that the Apis Bombus
Praesidens, commonly known as the
presidential humble bee, is an insect
OF hitherto unsupported virulence and
potence or that Senator Charlie has
something up his sleeve.
The Senate's Republican leader is
a man with as few illusions as q
chorus girl in her late forties. Big
Bill Borah may believe that it is
possible to change 2 colleagues vote
by a passionate, logical speech;
George Norris may suspect that the
ordinary citizen ought to be repre-
sented here; Tom Walsh and Jim
Reed may think the country will
some day get excited about official
corruption; Tom Hefin may be con-
vinced that the Pope's guns are
trained on the Capitol; someone
somewhere may hope that the Sem
ate as whole will some day show
some horse sense and stop playing
politics for an instant-but Curtis
has been he~e 80 years and he
knows better.
Thus, it seems most unlikely that
Senator Curtis suspects that he
might become president unless
someone has whispered something
in his ear. There are altogether
too many reasons why he isn't like
~ to be nominated and Curtis
knows them as well as anyone. He's
old; e's westerner; he doesn't
make an especially good speech; he
has no popular. following outside
Kansas and so on.
But although he insisted that he
wouldn't be stalking horse" for
any other candidate, there is no rea-
son to suppose that, Curtis isn't just
as willing to be good old work
horse for the party as he has al
ways been. The outstanding fact
about his candidacy is that it will
make the going just little easier
for the party regulars who expect
to .-ominste their man in the end.
1t seems to me that any hopes for
a united farm state bloc of dele
gates at the next convention have
gone blooey and that the farm state
delegates will be split three ways
among Lowden, Norris and Curtis.
Previously we had Lowden, middle
ground sort of politician, and Norris,

Sentiment in Business
The American business man loves to persuade
himself that he is very hard-boiled.
Sentiment has no place in business one is
constantly told. Maybe it's true-we doubt It,
We are thinking at this moment, of very
successful business man who is approximately
S10O,000,000 out Of pocket right now because ne
name is Henry Ford.
Here is the story:
Ford amassed the worlds largest fortune
through the sale of his famous "Model IT, auto
mobiles. This model familiar on every road
on earth as the "flivver" of tradition, was short
on beauty and long on service. Wherever any
thing on wheels could go, flivver could CO.
1t could ramble over deserts, across mountains
through Dogs and swamps, with a minimum
of attention and care.
For years the homely flivver sold as fast as
Ford could make them. Then, about three
years ago, there came change. The public
began to feel that, with other low-priced cars
becoming SO reliable, Ford might make his fliv-
vers just a little less homely. Slowly, at first,
and then more rapidly people passed up the
fivver for more ornamental machines.
It was the talk of the automotive industry.
But Henry Ford stood firm. He stuck by his
flivver, making few minor alterations in it's
lines but leaving it essentially the same utili-
tartan car as it always was.
Finally, last winter, Ford's sales reached the
point where it was obvious that the flvver
would either have to undergo radical change
or disappear entirely. Ford held out as long
as he could; he devised dozen changes that
might be made in 'Model T" without scrapping
it entirely, but it was no use. He was forced
to realize that the old flivver was done for.
1t is an open secret in Detroit that everyone
else in the automotive industry reached this
conclusion two years ahead of Ford. To the
very last he chung to the hope that Model t.
might continue.
Why was Ford the last to admit that change
was necessary? Was it because the other
automobile men were wiser than he? Hardly.
1t was because of sentiment. Ford had a
genuine attachment for the famous old flivver.
He honestly hated to give it up. And SO he
stuck by his guns to the very end-stuck by
them until, for the first time in score of years.
another automobile company passed him in
volume of sales.
. Sentiment after all, is still something of a
force in business.
If you don't believe it, ask Henry Ford.

WASHINGTON A.
LETTER &M

publicans in the west who don't want
Norris or Lowden and can't deliver
a delegation to an eastern reaction
airy doubtless will assemble under
his totem pole. In other words, it
looks as if the farmers and western
progressives will be as impotent in
the next convention as ever. Which
is to say that Faithful Charlie is
again carrying the hod for his party.
1t must be admitted, however, that
one can't read Senator Charles
mind with any definite assurance.
He may have his eye on the vice
presidency or cabinet job as a re-
ward for his services before and at
the convention-or it may be that
the poison Of Apis Bombus Praesi-
dens is actually spreading through
his system.
What those who point to Curtis
as possibility do say is: Look
what happened to Harding!"
What happened to Harding is a
rare thing in a Republican conven-
ton. Given even similar conditions
in the next convention, there
doesn't seem to be any board of
strategy such as Harry Daugherty
and his wrecking crew lined up be-
hind Senator Charlie. What hap
pened to Harding put new life into
Apis Bombus Praesidens but it fin
ally proved nothing quite so much
as that the Republican party
couldn't afford to have the same
thing happen again.
All Of which doesn't mean that
the amiable Senator Charlie wouldn' t
make a fairly good president. He's
safe enough. He wouldn't be as
good as Wilson at his best or as bad
as Wilson at his worst, but he would
be at least as satisfactory to his
party as Harding or Coolidge.
And if the White House were &C.
cupied by q former jockey with In
dian blood, right after the tenures
of a trombonist in the village band
and . Vermont farm boy, still more
strength would be added to the ALE
CATION that every newborn babe has
a chance to grow up and become
president.

Editorial Comment
Why Men Fail
duluth Herald)


This is management week." Under the d.
rection of Mr.. Hoover's department of COM
merce, conferences are being held for the pur-
pose of letting business men learn the conclu-
sions the department has come to after study
of business failures.
Studying the $4,000 failures from 1920 to
1927, inclusive, the department has found that
incompetence is the cause of thirty-fve per
cent and lack of capital of thirty-three per cent,
with the other thirty-two per cent divided be-
tween inexperience, extravaganza, speculation,
fraud and so on.
The department believes that it is possible
to cut down the mortality rate among business
enterprises, hence management week" and its
conferences.
1t is hard, though, to assign failures to these
various classifications and have them "stay
put" Incompetence is easy to understand; but
isn't trying to do more business than ones CAPT
tai will sustain incompetence also? And how
is "inexperience''' to be separated from lin.
competence?
One thing is potable-'bad luck'' doesn't
figure in this table, though doubtless many of
those who failed comforted themselves with the
term.
But the term has no meaning. Neither sue.
cess nor failure is often the result of luck
Diligence, alertness, honesty and boldness
coupled with prudence beat luck every time.

Where Men Dared Not Follow

VuCIS Wcu OdISU 1NOt TOlIOW
This editorial is not intended to prove that
Amelia Sablich was right.
Nor is it the purpose to show that Amelia
was misled when she led group of striking
miners to the property of the Ideal mine near
Trinidad, Colorado. These words are merely
meant as a tribute to her singe-handed cour-
age. That is all.
The girl in her red dress had harangued the
men, cajoled, pleaded with them until the time
seemed ripe for an attack on the mine prop
erty. 1t is wrong to attack property, Of course,
but that is not the question here, either.
Finally the men followed her to the mine.
What must the girls thoughts about man.
kind have been when she faced those mounted
guards and looked back to find herself alone
When she waved to the men to follow her and
they shrank back in fear, arguing among them
|selves? She must have wondered then, if,
after all, this pack of towards was worth while.
Alone, though, she carried on. In the excite
ment she was accidentally trampled by a
guards horse. What must be her thoughts
about mankind now as she lies on a hospital
cot? Has her belief that there is any cour-
age at all among men been crushed? We should
think so.
But she has had her moment of bravery,
whatever the cause or whatever the cost. She
has felt the thrill of courage as it swept over
her, and found it bigger than herself The
knowledge that she has been brave is hers, and
the pride that she had carried on beyond what
mere men deemed discreet. She has lived
through great test and passed it with colors
flying.
Molly Pitcher was not more heroic, Joan of
Arc more brave, Barbara Freitchie more in
spired. Amelia Sablich will 60 down in history
with none Of these. Just the same, she has
shown their courage.

The New Farm Complex in North Dakota
minneapolis Tribune)

minneapolis Irlbune)
North Dakota was both fortunate and un-
fortunate in the immediate postwar period It
was lucky because there was no such initiation
of farm land values as some other western and
northwestern states experienced. 1t was un-
fortunate because of the undue emphasis laid
on the production of wheat relative to produc-
ton of other agricultural commodities and of
farm by-products.
Diversification was delayed III North Dakota
because Of the urge upon the farmers in the
war years to raise wheat for foreign as we'll as
domestic consumption. Now there is mark
eddy different situation North Dakota farm
animal production, sheep raising, sugar beet
culture the egg and poultry business, with, of
course, such change in cropping as these activ-
tiles implied.
One of the fruits of diversity in farm effort
in the state is just made public in a survey of
North Dakota conditions made by Fargo trust
company. Farm bankruptcies to date this year
are only half as many as in the same period in
1923. The amount Of taxes delinquent in 1926
was about SO per cent of taxes delinquent in
1923. These two exhibits mean that North Da-
kota farmers are well on the way in the proc
ess of wiping out debts that have burdened
them seriously.
Getting from under the load of standing
obligations makes the North Dakota farmers
freer and stronger to go into the new order
OF agriculture, the corner stone of which is
diversification. AS these handicaps are thrown
off, balanced farming, which signifies ration
al coordination of crop raising and livestock
production, receives added impetus and goes
ahead with less clogging friction.
Government and education can and do aid
and facilitate this desirable readjustment of
affairs on the farm, but the reimbursement
must be made by the farmers themselves as
free agents. The initiative belongs on the farm,
and the steady application of this initiative is
up to the men who own or operate the farm
plants. Under compulsion of circumstances
allotted by group organization in North Dakota
farmers are showing the courage of new con-
victions regarding agricultural policies. They
are doing for themselves what could not be
done for them by sympathetic friends in Wash
ington and Bismarck.
It is Of no small significance that North Da-
kota grain producers, instead of rushing their
grain to market, are pursuing policy of re-
straint with the hope that better than current
prices may be obtained. The fact of holding
back suggests financial ability to hold back,
md, therein lies the significance referred to.
t is fair to assume that income from other
sources suffices to carry the farmers along
,ending the selling of their wheat and flax.
That does not sound like the typical thing Of
ore-war days in our sister state.
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1927-11-08

great change has come upon American
towns in the last twenty years.
American towns are strikingly alike. This is
as true now as it was at the beginning Of this
century. Yet the similarity nowadays is diff
ferent from the similarity of two decades ago.
Slowly and steadily our towns are losing the
peaceful, detached air that once was theirs.
Not long ago, the casual traveller easily could
find small city that was many leagues re-
moved from anything savoring of modernity or
up-to-date-ness. Dusty main streets, wooden
sidewalks, quiet squares, general atmosphere
OF peaceful somnolence and unhurried friend
liness-these were the characteristics of the
minor city until recently.
But the change has come. Every town, even
the smallest, is alive nerv0usly eager to grow
bigger and noisier than before. The dusty
main streets are becoming brick or cement; the
wooden sidewalks have long since been re-
placed; even the remotest town has its radio
store, its up-to-the-minute garages, its Cham
Der Of Industry, its movie theaters and so on
The old sleepiness is gone and the tense speed
OF modern America has replaced it.
There are many people to whom all of this
seems shame. Doubtless it is true that there
was something extremely attractive about the
old type of town; the town where life flowed
in moderate, unhurried manner, where people
could spare time from the rush of making
money to enjoy the unique privileges of the
small city-peace, rest and quiet And, in
dubitably, there is something repellent about
many modern towns; they are, some of them,
SO hurried SO blatant, so frankly and unasham-
eddy ugly.
Yet this is progress-eve though it may
often seem to some people like deterioration.
For the change that has come upon the small
city is only symptom of the change that has
come upon. the country as whole. As peo-
pie, we have become tremendously busy. We
are in mighty hurry; and it is worth remem-
bering that we are hurrying toward something,
not away from something. We have goal,
may not always see just what it is.
The American town, caught up in this rush,
Is changing. Its old virtues are disappearing
but new ones are emerging, and it is not hard
70 trust that, in the end, they will make our
Towns better places than ever in which to live.
