Question: H. j. asks: 'sIs there
anything . young person can do to
grow taller?"
Answer: Anyone under the age
Of thirty can increase his height to
some extent through q combination
Of dieting. exercising and taking
certain treatments. The diet must
contain plenty of bone building ma.
terial, which is found in the leafy
green vegetables and in whole grains.

ment should be with manipulative
therapeutics, such as given by the
osteopath, naturopath or chiroprac.
tor. You are about half inch tall
er in the morning than in the eye-
ming. This Is due to the settling
OF the bones of the body. principally
in the spine. Treatments given the
spine to loosen up and separate the

tends to stimulate the growth of
bones.

(NEA Service Writcr)

Westinghouse is common
theory that the converts of Social
ism in America are confined to a
relatively small group of intellec-
tuals and larger group of rank
and file workers situated principally
in the larger centers of population.
Apparently this conception is far
from the truth. Apparently the
Socialists Of the nation are really
the most powerful political group
OF all. Apparently the size of the
Socialist vote is no indication what
ever OF the real strength Of Social
ism in this country.
Apparently, that is, if one takes
the precious word Of the .estimable
and eminent Samuel o. Dunn, ed
itor of the Railway Age. If what
Mr.. Dunn says in an article in the
last issue CT the Nations Business
may be depended upon, then Mr..
Dunn has scored the biggest polit-
zeal scoop in history and we poor
Washington correspondents are all
left soundly sleeping at the post.
Mr.. Dunn says that the business
men are really the practical Social
lists Of the nation. The others-that
is, those who openly confess Social
ism by voting for its candidates for
office-are only what Mr.. Dunn calls
the theoretical Socialists" and are
50 few as not to count. It's the
practical Socialists, says he, who
are the dangerous ones.
1t is hard at first to tell whether
the distinguished editor is trying
to establish himself as the super
Rabbit of all time or merely to have
a little fun with other conservative
business men. However, he quotes
Mr.. Rodney A. Edward, Kansas
farmer, as follows:
"Faternalistic schemes Of govern
mcnt are agitated, not at farmers
meetings, but in business mems or
CARNATIONS. | have heard more
Socialism preached at meetings of
commercial bodies than in Socialistic
gatherings"
Mr.. Dunn says he has come to the
same conclusion and proceeds to
develop it. Business men, says he,
are responsible for practically every
increase in taxes and for nearly
every item of government interfer-
ence with business. Far more so,

IN NEW YORK

New York, Nov. "a. - This is, if
you don't mind, the success story of
I flea.
But for the grace of Professor
Heckler, the flea trainer, La Casti-
lima might have persisted on a lady's
stocking from a single blow of q
delicate palm. But for the patience
Of Professor Heckler, the flea train
err, La Castilina might now be a
mere member Of his flea ensemble,
instead of the stellar attraction she
happens to be. 1t is just possible
that La Castilina possesses that
subtle something denied to most
fleas. She may have possessed a
hidden talent for what they are
pleased to call 1.-THE terpsichorean
art"
At any rate there is no attraction
on Broadway attracting SO many
quarters ~ La Castilina. No single
bright star has more avid fans.
La Castilina is, one might say,
mistress of the ballet at the FLEA
circus" in Hubert's museum.
She is, if she happens to be a
she, a Spanish dancer who Spanish
dances as only a flea can Spanish
dance. And how a flea can Spanish
dance is nobody's business!
To the credit of La Castilina, let
it be said that she came out of some
thing considerably less than obscur-
ity and has wound up with something
considerably more than fame. The
Lword .eminence," in its fleeing
Broadway sense, can be applied to
her. The newspapers have tried to
photograph her; she has occupied
columns Of space, and she draws the
crowd.
Which is more than a great many
Spanish dancers can boast.
If you are inclined to believe those
masterpieces of invention that issue
from side-show spielers, then you
must believe that the nomadic Pro.
fessor Heckler, in his inexhaustible
search for talent, came upon her in
the Pyrenees. Let the Pyrenees
Chamber of Commerce protest that
all the fleas are in San Francisco,
still and Notwithstanding, Profess
sor Heckler is firm-La Castilina is
Spanish flea-and none other, He
will tell you that he found her in an
inn that was somewhat less than
humble. Had it been otherwise there
would have been no fleas there
and La Castilina would never have
had her chance.
Professor Heckler will not admit.

producers, that he Immediately rec.

he explains with SNUG satisfaction,
because:
Business men are the most in
fluential class in the country. They
never had so much influence in any
other country as they have here,
and never so much influence here
as they have now, Most politicians
do not disregard what business men
want"
Hence, says the Honorable Mr..
Dunn, business men are always ask
ing politicians for something, and
nearly always getting it. Few bust
ness men, he holds, are not now en-
gagged in effectively promoting gov
ornamental action of one Lind or an
other in violation of the principle
Of non-intervention and non-compe-
tition with business. The business
man, it is the Honorable Mr.. Dunn's
sad duty to relate, is all too willing
to favor government expenditure of
taxpayers money in his own COM
munity or territory and to favor a
form of government interference in
other business which he would OPP
pose if applied to his own.
Mr.. Dunn, the high priest of con-
servatism, finally winds up right in
his own field. 1t turns out that what
is really biting him is that the
United States government, through
the Inland Waterways Corporation,
is operating barge service on the
Mississippi river system. Business
men have been SO enthusiastic over
this that Congress was persuaded at
its last session to treble the corpor-
atoms capital in order that it might
correspordingly increase. its service.
And these barge lines, Mr.. Dunn
insists with an angry glance at the
nations powerful array of "prac-
teal Socialists" are competing with
the railroads.
In other words, business men and
politicians are cooperating to tread
on the toes Of High Priest Dunn and
his friends.
The only wonder is that the Right
Honorable Mr.. Dunn doesn't demand
that these Rolsheviks be deported
back to Russia.
