Darling Nom:
I think I'd better tell you what
happened yesterday because you
may hear it from someone else. 1t
certainly sounds shocking. I'm
not certain that Norman's aunt
knows about it but if she does
you're bound to get it, for she won't
lose any time sending the news
home.
Norman came in this morning,
with q bandage over one eye.
asked him if his aunt knew how he
got dimmed. He said he didn't
think 50, but you can't tell about
her. ] suppose you know that Nor
man is here. Probably some dear
friend has been in to see you by
this time to let you know. And
incidentally hint that he might
have come to see me. Well, I think
maybe he did. And what q hornets
nest he ran into!
/ refer to the activities Of that
darling Pede. Its impossible to
dislike such q devoted person.y He
was holding down the curb again
with his car and giving the tele-
phone operator on our exchange
the polywoggles trying to get my
number when Norman made his en-
try yesterday afternoon.
/ saw . chance to get out Of the
house. ! hadn't been able to stir
outside because I just knew Pede
was at the point where he'd make
q scene any old place. And was l
wrong? Not me, and how.
So ] asked Norman if he didn't
want to 60 out for walk. He
said yes IL knew where to walk
to find something exciting. He was
al run down, rusty and bored to q
wisp, he said. ! thought / knew
where to run into = little activity.
Again, did ! know wrong? Not me.
He didn't have to 60 far, eitheE
When we stepped out onto the side
walk ! took his arm and started
rather briskly away from there.
Suddenly a handsome parsonage
path and bowed low. "Ah, senora,'
he said. 1T Is SO good Of you to
remember our engagement"
Well, that handed Norman . lot
to mink about. But ! didn't let
60 his arm, so he got the drift Of
things right away. "Sorry," he
said. II think you've made . mis-
take"
"The sonora probably has made
: mistake" Pede said politely. "She
il going for I drive with me-"
Gosh, Nom. ! thought I'd have
time to finish this but haven't.
See you next mail. Norman's wait

discovered that the United States
bank had paid out $4,000 in brides.
Senator Daniel Webster, the great
orator, one Of the banks stanchest
defenders, had been receiving q
regular retainer from the bank
and squawked when it was late in
arriving!
Gustavus Myers, author Of a
History Of the Great American For
tunes" after an investigation, cited
what he termed a few "of the many
instances Of the debauchins Of
every legislature in the United
States"
Between 1850 and 1872 Congress-
gave away l66,00O,000 acres to rail-
road corporations. much of it under
the pressure Of persistent lobbying.
, This area is more than three-fourths
- much land as the government
has for sale today. and the acreage
was infinitely more valuable.
In 1885 Commissioner Sparks Of
the general land office declared that
railroad corporations had obtained
tens Of millions of acres by fraud
under cover Of law and had over
drawn their legal quota by about
10, 600, 900 acres. Millions Of acres
were being held for speculation
without payment Of taxes.
Piratical days. those! The cat
tlemen entered the picture with the
passage Of the Desert Land Laws
which, because they failed to re-
quire actual settlement by those
who acquired land. enabled cattle
syndicates to obtain enormous new
areas. Often the cattlemen grabbed
land without title, fenced it in and
hired gunner to chase intruders.
In 1884 the acting commissioner Of
the general land office estimated
that at least 100000 acres had
been illegally seized in the Arkansas
Valley of Colorado.
Meanwhile the lumber companies
were going after timber. The Stone
and Timber Act Of 1876 allowed
sale Of forest and mineral land at
$3.50 an acre with I 100-acre limit
per purchaser. The land was said
to have been worth 500 an acre.
Trainloads Of dummy" purchasers
were rushed to the front and more
great areas passed under syndicate
control.

and, in fact, surgeons all over the
world, have been subjected to a Sc
ries of shocks during the past few
years because Of the statements
given to the press by Sir Arbuthnot
Lane, the famous English surgeon.
Doctor Lane is known as one of the
worlds foremost surgeons, having
been physician to the King of Eng
land and the royal family for many
years.
In his work as a surgeon he
originated q number Of operations
for which other surgeons have hon
ored him by naming such surgical
procedure after him. For example,
the Lanes Link Operation" is q
we'll known operation for removing
condition known as "Lane's Kink."
This is peculiar kind of kink which
DR.. Lane attempted to cure through
removing section of the intestine.
Doctor Lane must be credited also
with starting the recommendation
Of the use Of Russian mineral oil to
overcome constipation. 1t is less
than twenty years since Doctor Lane
suggested the use of mineral oils,
and today these oils for lubricating
the intestines are refined and sold
by the hundreds of millions of gal
Ions yearly.
After nearly a half century Of
surgical practise, Doctor Lane has
summed up his conclusions in an
apt phrase when he says that
81 na1<k 20 s;ror1,, a ,ea<$os - l;a<
and drainage" This is the same
viewpoint held by hundred. Of health
writer's throughout the world. Some
rame administration as the cause
of all disease, others use the words
"toxicosis," "autotoxemia," "self
poisoning" intestinal poisoning"
and similar words and phrases which
mean practically the same thing.
The homely truths which l give
you daily in this column may prac-
tically be all grouped under the
titles Of ASSIMILATION and "elimina-
tion." If you have been benefited
through following my advice, it is
because you have learned better
rules about the assimilation of foods
and the elimination of waste prod
ucts.
The hundreds of thousands Of
letters of appreciation which I re-
ceive prove to me that practically
every disease can be prevented ana
even cured by the one who learns
how to properly balance assimilation
and elimination. This is getting
back to certain fundamental truths
as every physician must realize,
even though there seems to be so
many practitioners of the healing
arts who are looking for obscure
causes of diseases and missing the
common ones.
Readers are always more interest
ed in the cure Of disease than they
are in preventing it, and seldom be-

planning how disease already ac-
quired may be cured through in
creasing the different eliminative
processes which the body must use.
The principal channels Of elimina-
ton are through the lungs, the skin,
kidneys and intestines.
Tomorrow's article will explain
how to increase elimination Of toxins
through the lungs.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: O. L. B. writes: my
mother had her gall bladder removed
two years ago. Now she has a rash
all over her body, and her doctor
tells her it is because she has no
gall bladder. What can she do?
Would an orange juice fast do her
any good? I have tried the orange
juice fast myself for eight days and
feel like a different person."
Answer: There is probably no
connection between the removal of
your mothers gall bladder and the
rash she is now bothered with. The
gall bladder, if infected or diseased,
may become q regular cesspool of
poison. After such gall bladder is
removed, patient should feel better
for q year or two, but if the same
habits continue which produced the
gall bladder trouble in the first
place, other symptoms and disorders
must inevitably result. The orange
juice fast would certainly be a good
treatment for her to take to cleanse
the liver and remove excess toxins.
Tell your mother to be especially
careful afterwards to use good food
combinations.
Question: Norman F. writes: II
wish you would tell me something
about cucumbers. l am very fond
of them, but even while eating them
| have secret fear that they are a
kind Of poison or something"
Answer: Cucumbers are not only
harmless, but really valuable salad
vegetable when usd in proper COM
bination with other foods. The bad
reputation of this vegetable is due
to the fact that whenever it is eaten
with an improperly balanced meal
and there is trouble, the cucumber is
Immediately blamed, when the vine
gar and onions with which it is
prepared" are the offenders. Use
cucumbers quartered or sliced, with
out adding salt or oil, and you will
quickly decide there is nothing "poi-
son" about the cucumber.

Washington, May TN 1s41
Congress passed the Arst general
presumption law affecting the pub
lie lands. Only 160 acres, accord
ing to the law, could be pre-empted
by one person. This was another
attempt to give the average citizen
q chance to establish . home or 4
farm.
But the system Of using "dum-
N.Y. settlers was worked harder
than ever and more large holdings
were obtained by individuals and
corporations. The same thing fol-
lowed the Homestead Act Of 1852,
which gave away land to home
steaders, but that law actually bene-
fitted hundreds Of thousands Of
bona fide settlers.
Meanwhile q new and unprece-
denied era of grab and corruption
had sprung up in the administration
Of the public domain through the
demands first Of canal companies
and later Of the railroad promoters.
Congress gave mlIllonS OF acres
in land grants for canals, and
money as well, much Of which went
into and remained In private pockets
Many Of the grantee companies
never bothered to build any canals
once they had the land and the
money.
Where swamp lands were given
as especially adapted for cana
building, the canal companies fre
quently surveyed and seized ricf
mineral, timber and farm lands t
which they had no legal right. Thil
"swamp lands" game was playet
many times afterward, sometimes
with the connivance Of land office o.
other officials.
Then came the railroads. Thu
people wanted railroads, but thu
promoters demanded public money
public lands and many valuable
rights. TO get all that they bribet
legislators with large amounts
Sometimes Z company might have
nowhere near enough TO start rail
road with, but yet enough to bride
4 legislature into providing al TIL
wherewithal to construct one.
Bribery was the order Of the day
Standards Of honor were low. II

TREND AT PIT
Favorable Crop Reports
Cause Wheat, Corn to
Lose Ground.

CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Crop reports
from the Canadian northwest were
again favorable today and wheat
reacted from Thursdays advance on
the Board of Trade. Good crop news
also sent corn lower. Oats followed
the downturn.
Wheat opened p to rs cents
lower, corn was down y to rs
cents and oats was off q to 4 cent.
Provisions were about unchanged.
Weakness at Liverpool and higher
temperatures in the northwest sent
wheat down at the opening Thurs
day, but offerings were quickly abb
sorbed by commission houses and
shorts. Later, when eastern houses
attempted to buy, offerings were
scarce and prices advanced. Stocks
at southwestern terminals have
been rising to uncomfortable pro-
portions and wheat from that sec
ton is being offered to Chicago at
unusually low prices.
Scattered liquidation sent Sep
TENDER corn to within Is cent Of
the crop low early Thursday. Short
covering and commission house
buying, however, started a good
rally. The deferred deliveries also
advanced. s.
Increasing oats receipts brought
hedging pressure from cash inter-
ests. All deliveries touched new
lows on the crop.

In the Stock Market
lnn Thomson 3 MoKInnonl

NEW YORK, Aug. lit has
been quite some time since traders
have been able to review the most
important market factors and find
them so uniformly good. We have
known right along that general in
dustry was in excellent condition,
land if this situation was to be re-
Effected in the stock market, all that
was needed was a reasonably easy
money market. Something has de-
veloped, as was seen yesterday
which indicates that comparatively
easy money conditions are with us
temporarily, at least. There is the
larger supply of funds at lower
rates, a better than expected reduc-
ton in brokers' loans and substan-
tial improvement in the bank state
ment. All of which will go a long
way toward restoring confidence
The outlook is brighter.

NEWBURYPORT, Mass, Aug. II.
-"Bossy' ellis, Newburyports re-
doubtable mayor, today faced the
possibility of Jail sentences totaling
ninety days and fines aggregating
$340 for operating his gasoline fill
ing station without his city coun-
ellis permission.
He has been summoned to appear
next Wednesday on charges of IL
legally storing infiammables, unlaw-
fully digging up sidewalks and I'M
lawfully changing the grade Of a city
thoroughfare.
All these charges and several
more scheduled to be made were
based on "Bossy's" action in estab-
fishing a filling station earlier this
week without awaiting an official
permit.
"Bossy," who would rather fight
than eat, showed ill-concealed Ella
ton last night when he learned that
the sunmonses had been issued.
For two hours he waited impa-
tiently at his new gasoline station
for the summonses to be served.
Finally he dispatched a mayoral
emissary in an automobile to give
the summons-server a lift" After
the papers demanding his court APP
pearance had been served, "Bossy"
