REMOVING THE 1NCENTIyE

A step calculated to remedy the recognized evil Of
expert testimony" will have been taken il the eois-
lature enacts into law tho recommendations Of New
Jersey legal experts. suggested bill provides that
expert witnesses shall be appointed by the court which
shall set the compensation and that It shall be con-
tempt Of court for any such witness to accept remun
Grafton except that fixed by the court.
There general feeling that some such practice as
this must be made universal in order to check
condltlons Few cases are tried without the aid Of
expert witnesses. The only essential is that the lti
gants shall be financially able to pay for their services
lne public has on several occasions been treated to
spectaces in which all Of the expert witnesses on one
side disagreed directly with those retained by the on
posing side, even when they started from the same
premises toward their conclusions.
There is OF course, always the possibility of honest
disagreement It is hard apparently for professional
men to see eye to eye. The more knowledge Of SUBJ
ect some mem possess the likely it is that thew
will reach independent ground This cannot ALWAYS he
the case however Scientists should meet on occasions
on common ground but they never appear to do 50 in
the capacity Of expert witnesses in court Present con-
0tions have led to the conclusion that expert testimony

physical body fit, and contribute to longevity Long
life brings experience and experience is a chief inprc
dient Of wisdom.
II it were possible to bring some Of the spirit and
love OF sports into the field of essential work much
friction and unhappiness would be removed from the
world today. Human nature is so varied in its pre
dilection that there is any danger of bitter
struggle for the soft place in life. Just as there are
extremes in sport between the pugist and the polo
player, the blardis and the footbaer So there are
extremes il the field Of labor but the distance between
sports and labor is measured by the poles when the
mental attitude is viewed One reason for the differ
encc is that in sports each contestant strives by fair
play to excel while in the field of labor-wel too often
fair rivalry absent Another and possibly the great
est difference is that in sports the contestant selects
his field and, if he is ambitious trains for championship
therein while in essential work it is often haphazard
matter Of selection and Indifference to results
The world is making progress, however. Science has
devised means for measuring the capabilities Of youth
among the varied fields of endeavor and vocational
schools are making selection and training for life
matter OF more concern than was the case in our
fathers days. few old-fashoned folk may deplore
the frs and rvotes of youth and declare that there
is too much coddling of the latter but the fruits of
the new system will be in better citizenship score
of years hence

MULDUON LEAVES US FLAT

:, When Mr.. Hoover was elected, Joseph Muldoon of
New York took the train for Canada leaving his coun
try never to return, he says Il cannot understand how
so-caled intelligent people could elect Hoover when
man OF Smiths caiber running" he explains. On
such country he turns his back. Others have done
this There is fortunately no law that man must re-
mail, who feels he will be happier elsewhere America
has been peoped by those who thought they could do
better here than in the lands of their BIRTH though
happily for America most of them have not been dis
gusted with their homelands.
Mr. Muldoon will travel and then settle in the south
of France. We remember that many thousands of
Americans who had visited France for periods ranging
from month to two years, did not wish to settle
there But they did not rate their counrys intelligence
SO low as Mr. Muldoon does. True. it had paid them
at much lower rate than it has rewarded Mr. Muldoon
1t may be we spoil some of our citizens.
And then we read another item. One-half the ashes
Of Big Bill" Haywood l. W. w., Communist, labor
agitator have back to Chicago for burial It was
Haywoods wish. Half his ashes to be buried in Russia
which had given him asylum during his last years;
half to the country that his. There was a
reason why Haywood should not return to America
he owed the law of his country amends for the
KIND OF citizen he had been But his last gesture makes
plain which way his heart was turning.
Mr.. MuldOon may come back if he will. It NAV come
to him in time that, disgusted though he is with the
intelligence of Americans, they are at least people
who do not quit when things do not 60 their way.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE

The season in which ones thoughts turn to Christmas
trees is just about upon us. And so much has been
written about forest conservation recently that many
people feel that cutting down young fir trees for Christ
mas constitutes needless drain upon our forests
Such fears, however, ungrounded This comes
on the authority of no less person than Charles
Lahrop Pack president of the American Tree Associa-
tion, and lastdtch defender of our forests if ever
there was one.
The type Of tree used for Christmas, says Pack
would not be worth great deal if it were allowed
to mature in its native setting In addition an
increasing proportion Of Christmas trees comes from
private forests that resocked yearly that the
supply is maintained constantly.
So go ahead and plan on having an old-fashioned
tree-you do it with clear conscience.

THE SENTIMENTALISTS WIN

Rough, hardy sentimentalists among the old cattle

cows three bulls and few steers have been collected
IN lexas and shipped to the Wichita forest reserve
Ihe steers develop the longest horns and specimens

The search was long and discouraging. Horns heavy
ooss and long fleet legs were vital possessions for
existence on the illmtabe ranges infested with pred
atory animals; but beef is what the market demands,
ana long since the gentle Hereford supplanted his wild
predecessor throughout the West.
Following rumors, riders secured the prickly pear
country along the lower Rio Grande from Laredo to

THE TREATMENT FOR LOCO.
MOTOR ATAXIA "
,zk,Mz.A
Continued from yesterday


As this disease has existed for 3
long time and is a chronic type, it is
necessary to precede the treatment
with a prolonged fast, using nothing
but orange or grapefruit Juice and
water for several weeks. Unless Won
are under the supervision of some
one who understands the fasting
method, it is usually advisable to
take shorter fasts Of from seven to
ten days at intervals of about one
month apart. During this time enc
mas should be taken twice daily. and
there should be hot applications over
the entire spinal region. A deep
therapy lamp is most satisfactory
Tor this purpose, but even hot towels
would be helpful. Following the
hot applications a cold shower over
the, entire body should be employed.
After several weeks of the orange
juice fast or after repeating the fast
at intervals, a milk diet should be
employed and continued for several
weeks or even months. As improve.
ment is noticed the regular diet out
lined in my weekly articles in the
newspapers may be substituted. It
IS also necessary to employ massage
and exercise of the affected parts
OF the body. The use of sinusoidal
electrical treatments, applying one
pole to the affected muscles and the
other pole at various points over the
spinal column, is helpful in stimu-
lating and reviving the nervous
system, and is especially useful after
the orange juice regime.
During the entire process Of diet-
ing it is advisable to drink quantities
OF distilled water, especially between
the feeding periods.
There is method of re-educatinp
the nervous system by teaching the
patient a physical control Of his
voluntary movements called the
"frankef Movement" cure.
The patient is first taught by per-
sistent and repeated efforts to use
his lower limbs by performing simple
movements which finally become
more complicated until the patient
is able to talk without perceptible
difficulty other than keeping the
toes in plain view of his eyes. A
considerable amount of apparatus is
used, such as hanging rings, paral-
lei bars, etc. Various designs are.
painted. on the, floor, or on specially
prepared oil cloth or linoleum. BY
tracing these designs with his toes
the patient learns to control his leg
The skill Of the teach
er is very important in directing

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Sleepy After Eating


Question: Mrs. C. C. writes:
"My husband works long hours in
store. He eats his heartiest meal
at the noon hour. He wants to
sleep for three-quarters to an hour
afterward. He doesn't have muchl
outdoor exercise. Is this sleep
necessary"
Answer: Your husband is eating
too much at his noon meal if he
feels sleepy afterwards. It is gen.
orally better to eat small meal at
noon and never advisable to eat
such a large quantity of food at any
meal In the day which will produce
sleepiness.
Bread and Milk Combination
I, Question: 0. w. asks: "Can milk
be used with bread? Cereals? Or
can milk be taken with vegetables?
Can bread and cream cheese be
taken together? Are fruits and
vegetables all right together?
Could |, for hyperacidity, also thrush
trouble, fast on milk and oranges?
have such pain and gnawing in
stomach when empty. Feel so ter
ribly hungry if | fast on oranges
alone. Is hot or cold milk better ?"
Answer: You will probably be
benefited by taking a. diet of
oranges and milk, using a glass Of
milk every hour during the day, TAX
ing a small amount of orange Juices
before each glass of milk. It is best
not to use. bread or cereals with
milk, but all right to- use cream on
the cereals. Milk combines properly
with non-starchy vegetables, and the
fruits with milk or vegetables.

Physicians who employ the Frank

the treatment is quite high, as inn
provement is slow and it often takes
two or three years to get the max
imum results. Some physicians who
use this method will not accept

short course and then continue to
