But they understand what the
issues are in this campaign and
they're not going to depend on their
men folks to explain them and tell
them how to vote. In previous cleo
tions they have generally voted as
their men voted, but in November
there will be . great amount Of di-
vision in families. Many a house
will be divided against itself.
Its q sure thing, first, that
many more women are going to
vote now who never voted before
and, second, that they will begin to
vote with complete independence. =
Neither in 1920 nor 1924, Michellet
points out, did the campaign contain
the issues of 1928. Nor did either
OF the last two campaigns present
q similar uncertainty Of outcome.
There were very few doubtful
states in 1924" he says, "but today
half Of them are doubtful"
The number Of persons who will
this year have the right to vote for
the first time is estimated at 7,OO0,-
600.
The total presidential vote has
grown progressively larger, Of
course, but in 1904 it slumped be.
hind the vote of 1900 and 1896. In
that year the conservative Alton B.
Parker was the Democratic candidate
and thousands Of Bryan Democrats
were too disguised to 60 to the polls.

Editorial Comment
A COUNTRY DOCTOR
<N1.1 ~

Doc Gordon, H. country doctor in the little Missouri
town Of Bunker for ffty-six years, given party
the other day by four hundred of his children
men and women boys and girls he has helped into the
world in he last half centn Doc was barely able to
get the party because child No. 644 chose just about
that time to be born. He managed however, and had
the time of his life among the kids every of whom
he had met at the first possible moment and of
whom he had attended in every illness since Probably
as he looked about during dinner he considered for
moment what his ftysix years of service had brought
him. If so, he must have been satisfied.
Doc does not wear the cleaning white uniform of his
up-to.now city confrere. His office is marvel Of
card indexes diagnostc machinery and sanitation All
such trimmings he foreswore when he chose be fam
lily doctor to the plain people of Missouri countryside
But his fame as medicine man is great the
him-and call him Doc. What more could any man
really want? Many city man, collecting his thou
sands in his tiny and no end monotonous specalty-in
you go and out you come-may we'll envy Doc Gordon
his free range Of ills to and his rich recompense
peoples love.

THE SOURCES OF OUR FOOD

THE SOURCES OF OUR FOOD
One of the first curious facts that
a student Of dietetics learns is that
although plants and animals are
both used by us as foods, it is only
the green plants that are the orig.
inal food factories Of the world.
They are the only living things that
have the power to combine the soil,
water and earth into substances
that can be digested and absorbed
by animals, and it is only those
plants which are green that contain
within their leaves the small masses
Of chlorophyl (green coloring) which
have the property CT using the radi-
ant energy of the sun to combine
water and carhon-dioxid gas into
carbohydrates.
Human beings at the present time
use the animal kingdom as well as
the vegetable kingdom, for their
food supply. Cattle, hogs, sheep,
fowl, fish, eggs and milk furnish US
with our principal animal foods.
From the animal tissues and animal
products we can obtain the radiant
energy of the sun indirectly, and
sometimes in more concentrated
forms than we could by eating the
plants themselves. To care for the
enormous quantities Of animal prod
.ucts that are used, civilization has
built up some wonderful refriQer-
ating and transportation facilities in
and to the meat packing centers.

Departments Of Agriculture MAIN
tain very rigid inspection of all
meats SO that those which are dis
eased may be discarded.
Eggs and milk products are very
valuable foods. and are important
market products in North America.
1t is estimated by Piper and Beau
champ that the production Of eggs
in the United States for year would
build wall of eggs thirty feet high
and one egg thick from New York
to San Francisco, and New York
state alone supplies enough milk in
a single year to fill lake one mile
long, a quarter of q mile wide and
ten feet deep.
The vegetable kingdom offers US
very large variety of foods and
flavors. Unfortunately, most cooks
have only learned to use a few Of
these. If the average person were
asked to name list Of vegetables
to be served at a vegetable dinner,
he would probably be able to think
Of only four or five, and yet there
are hundreds of vegetables that are
edible and could be used to furnish
variety. There are really twenty
to thirty good vegetables in the mar
kets Of any large city. Even in the
winter these vegetables can be Sc
cured at least in a canned form. In
some Of them we find the leaves
most valuable, as in lettuce and
spinach. In others we use the stem,
such as the asparagus, rhubarb and
kolrabi. The beet, carrot and turnip
are used because of their roots. The
Brussels sprout is a bud and the

WAR Is STILL THINKABLE

Back in 1920 General Pershng said: 1--WE NAV ask
ourselves whether civilization really does reach point
here it begins to destroy itsef-and whether we are
doomed to go headlong down through destructive war
- darkness" More recently he declared "the re-
sponsbiy which rests upon enlightened government.
e renounce war as policy is too great to be neg
jsctsd."
These are not new thoughts but uttered BY "hard-
sooled' warrior they come with new Importance and
1ew impressiveness. The argument is simply that men
- nations must come to regard war as men and indi
duals regards murders that murder on the large scale
nust be seen in the light by governments as the
murder OF one man is seen by courts and society. It
= the rational statement Of the view that war as an in
strunent Of settling international disputes holds no
latter or more deserved place than the duel Is means
- ending private quarrels.
What General Pershing has urged is what already has
bssn proposed to the great nations by this countryside
outlawing" the shifting Of the emphasis from
battle - desperate policy to peace - the only policy
The present armament race between the nations Of
tire world reveals state Of mind in which peace il
yearnsd for but in which is quite thinkabe Il i.

lions must seize upon some proposal such Is the KEEL

Der 40 per cent, or 2s50O,OOO women. How many
Of these will 60 to the polls in November? How
will they vote?
Party leaders may not be losing sleep over these
questions but they would listen attentvey to any
who could give approximately correct answers.
They may have ceased to view the womans vote as a
leading political problem, it considered eight
years ago, when the nationwide enfranchisement Of
women became effective. Nevertheless they realize
that small fraction of these potential voters
might bring about great change in party fortunes
Il they became aroused
So far the politicians have had little cause for worry
In the two presidential elections since the adoption of
the nineteenth amendment not than 35 40 per

Of the popular belief that in non-votng women are the
worst offenders. And still more pertinent fact per-

seated, nor has a reactionary committee been wrested
from the oldtime CONTROL nor has convention broken

Roughly estimated, about 59,OOO,-
600 men and women will be entitled
to vote on November 6. Thus, ac-
cording to Michellet's estimate, up
to two-thirds Of the eligible vote

This would be an immense pro-
portional increase over 1924: when
the 100000 votes cast for Cool
idge, Davis and La Toilette were
only about So per cent Of the total

1.-THE biggest increase is going to
come from the women. Officials in

tion which has prevailed in the business and of the
difficulty smaller units encounter in obtaining 4 fair
Share Of the trade which inevitably gravtates to the
dominating factors.
These latter with their enormous resources their big
output and their highly skilled management fighting
vigorously for public favor, have steadily reduced
prices OF their products and set pace which makes
the going hard for their weaker competitors. Notwith
standing assurances that there was business
for all and there would be no war; few have doubted
that conditions would arise which would force COM
binations.
1t is logical process and in line with present Amer
lean methods to eliminate overhead lower costs of nro
ducton and stabilize business. It is peculiarly adapt
abb to the motor industry, in which concern that cam
not supply cars at prices to suit the varied demand
finds itself at distinct disadvantage And the public
should benefit from the economies as there is little
Akehhood that competition will not be keen enough to
serve as check exploitation and as an incentive "a

Question: = H. G. asks: "Will you
please tell me why my eyes arc
bloodshot? There are times when
one or both are 30 without any ap-
parent reason"
Answer. Bloodshot eyes are Of
ten caused by reflexes from some
other part Of the body, principally
the alimentary canal. A disordsred
stomach from bad food combinations
is probably the greatest common
cause. I will be glad to send you
