LaFoIette Runs True to Form

Robert M. LaFolette. the elder. was one Of the
greatest champions Of the rights Of the people that
this republic has known. Robert NJ. LaFollette. the
son OF a great sire. runs true to form. He believes
that a public servant cannot serve two masters. He
does not believe in star chamber sessions. He believes
that the people should be told at all times by the
representatives Of the press the real news Of con-
gressional action. This is his def to the senator's who
stand for closed door sessions and the secret vote on
confirmation Of presidential appointee, speaking In
defense of his right as q senator 70 disclose his vote

Needed = The Military Road

When high water in the Rio Grsnde threatens to
break levees and menaces foundations of river irriga-
tion pumps. there is real need for a highway which
can be travelled speedily and in all kinds Of weather.
Should a sudden rise in the river at present menace
irrigation and protection works in Cameron county
It would be next to impossible to reach levees oppo-
site present gaps in the military highway with men
and materials.
When the river is on a rise there usually is rain
In the Valley rendering dirt roads next to impossible.
This is one Of the best possible arguments for the
need Of Immediately closing the ten miles Of gaps now
existing on the road along the river. Completion OF
the highway 70 the Hidalgo county line would bring
every pumping plant in the county, with the exception
OF those below Brownsville, within reach Of a paved
road. Construction of the Rangerville road to tie onto
the highway would give direct communication be-
tween all the pumping plants and the towns in which
the respective water district headquarters are located.
Men and materials could be moved speedily from
any point to threatened breaks in levees.
The road traverses one Of the most fertile and pro-
ductive sections OF the county and would serve a large
population at present. The number Of persons it
would serve is increasing rapidly and this increase
would be fastened to a marked extent by completion
Of the highway.
The highway would serve to relieve present con-
gested traffic conditions along the Valley highway.
Many persons now forced to travel Highway No. u

Travellers through the Valley no longer would find
u necessary to make a round trip over the same road
A beautiful drive would be available along the river
after a drive down the present highway.
But the important thing is that completion OF the
road to the county line would make readily accessible
al lsvees and pumping plants and would hasten de-
velopment OF ona Of the countys most fertile sections

Barlow sat up suddenly and did
not take his eyes off her until she
stepped in the elevator. He stood
up and half started toward her. as,
feeling someone was looking az her,
Vivian suddenly turned and looked
at him.
Celeste noticed that a look Of con-
fusion crossed Vivian's face and she
looked from her TO Barlow. He
stood tall, blonde and striking,
frankly staring az her nov. The
elevator closed and Celeste raised
her brows.

Not no very long ago I had a let
ter from q young woman who had
become utterly discouraged about
her health. In spite of all she could
do. her flesh melted away and her
mind became more and more de-
spondent. Her weight was really
about 20 pounds less than average
at her age and height.
What advice car be given such a
person7 What could I say to you
IL you had similar symptoms? Sup
pose I try TO tell you as / told her.
In the first place, you must have
an abundance OF fruits and vegeta-
bes. You need ell sorts OF green
vegetables: lettuce. cabbage. endive.
spinach. rs well as tomatoes. peas.
beans. and similar things. All the
fruits. especially oranges. will do
you good. An abundance OF milk Is
q necessity.
! venture to say you do not
breathe as deeply as you should.
Your food will not do you any good
unless you open the lungs and get
a full supply Of oxygen. You must
practice deep breathing. Give your
self blowing exercises. IL is not the
blowing that does any good. but In
order 10 blow you must fill your
lungs with air.
These are general directions. but !
am impressed with the idea that am
eUNioor life Of some sort will do
more good than anything else. Get
out on q farm. wear q f~arFncrette
costume. and get close to Nature.
Perhaps YOU tan find a place on N

difference what you do. so long as
you are in the open. Gardening.

eles, and ~ the same time to occu-
py your mind viii be helpful In

II you are in the condition Of the
lady who wrote me. ! am sorry for
you. But don't be sorry for your
self. Exert yourself in q physical
way and keep away from the office
work that is so annoying 70 you.
With general Improvement in
health, your nervous system will re-
spond.
1t Ia mentally depressing to be Sc
riously below par physically. Nobody
can do work if there is constant
worry over health.
Sometimes II Is necessary 10 make

There have been few figures in the last quarter
century TO occupy the place that Martin Madden held
In the public life Of this country.
AS chairman Of the powerful house committee on
appropriations his influence was wide. Presidents.
cabinet officers and executive heads Of the govern

His colleagues Of both parties credit him with

But 1t Is Martin Madden the man that capitol hin

Rugged. full Of vitality. full OF energy, he az all
times displayed kindness and frisndliness to those
with whom he came In contact.
While still very young, he was deprived of a foot

ACTIYE UNTIL DEATH

Madden was suddenly stricken while at his duties
on capitol hill last April. Within q very short while
he was dead. To the writer's mind comes the story
of the dramatic way in which his death was reported
by The Associated Press.
The chief Of the house staff Of The Associated
Press first heard Of Madden's plight when Or. Sire
vich. the houses only doctor. was summoned from the
floor. He followed the physician to the office Of the
chairman on appropriations and was the first and
only newspaperman present.
The door was closed when Or. Sirovich entered
The Associated Press reporter found that he was the
only newspaperman inside. He quickly got hold Of a
telephone in the office and established communication
with his own office.
