HYDE ADDRESSES FARMERS.

Arthur NJ. Hyde, the man personal
ly selected by President Hoover to work
with him In solving the farm problem,
last night spoke his first words as the
new Secretary of Agriculture to the
farmers Of the Nation. His message
was that their problem was of concern
to all. !
Utilizing radio hook-up of more
than score of stations. the former
Governor of Missouri said the agricul-
ture problems were national In scope
and that the solutions, or lack of So
buttons, of them will be national in eff
feet"
Mr. Hyde was speaker on the
American Farm Bureau radio commun-
ity program. He said he had taken
over the duties of the Agriculture De-
partment with full realization of its
difficulties and with solemn recogni-
ton" of his own limitations.
II want to work with you." he de-
clared. II want the department to rem
der an increasing service to the farm"
The new Secretary, beyond saying he
desired to effectuate the policies outlined
by President Hoover in his public ad-
dresses, made no reference to a farm
program Neither did he refer to the
forthcoming special session of Congress,
which is to convene primarily to devise
a means of benefiting the farm indus
try.
OF the Hoover policies, however. he
predicted that they will achieve a
larger measure of prosperity for the
farmer"
The Secretary described agriculture as

branch should refrain from undertake
ing to influence the legislative branch
unduly in the performance of its func-
tions.
There has been conjecture of late as
to what name the new farm measure
should bear, with the suggestion made
in some quarters that an unfortunate
psychological effect might be produced
If it bore the title "McNary- Haugen,'
the same as the bill which twice ran
upon the rocks of a presidential veto
in the Coolidge administration.
This argument is believed to carry no
weight with President Hoover, who nat
urally expects it to be introduced in the
Senate by Chairman McNary of the ag-
riculture committee and in the House
by Chairman Haugen of the agriculture
committee, and so take the name of the
authors, as is the almost invariable GUS
tom,

duced at the last session of Congress

Coolidge and Mr.. Hoover had refrained

Equalization Fee Omitted.
This measure has been described as
the original McNary- Haugen bill with
the controverted equalization fee elmi-
mated. 1t provided for revolving fund
of $3.50 100000 for use in controlling the
exportable surplus Of the major crops
and also for the creation of a farm
board and of sterilization corporations.
During his campaign Mr.. Hoover out
lined a program calling for the creation
of farm board and farmer-owned cor
porations to see to orderly marketing
processes and the protection of the pro-
ducers from seasonal gluts and to care
for the surplus of their crops.
A number of plans already are before

the American farmer was efficient, but
that agricultural problems did not end
on the farm.
Many problems only begin there" he
continued. After the farmer has sue

marketing and of distribution on such a
basis as to return to the farm ade-

"Perforce, the farmer must speak
through some agency which reaches be-

kets of America and of the world. That
agency Is his farm organization. Stead
tasty the farm organizations have
stood for better rural conditions, better

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

KIDNEY disease is usually
IN known as Bright's disease.
1t appears in either of two forms
the acute and chronic.
This general way of expressing
kidney orders should not be taken
to indicate, however, that the dis
ease processes which may attack
either one or both kidneys. are
simple. On the contrary, the struc-
ture Of the kidney is most marVe-
lous, as well as most complicated
and an infla mmatory condition.
which all is all kidney disea Sc

In acute Bright's disease expo
sure to cold or wet may be the
immediate cause. Certain diseases
such as scarlet fever, tonsilitis,
measles. malaria, erysipelas, diph-
liberia and sometimes typhoid
may produce the condition. Occa-
sionally pregnancy will be accom-
ranied by acute kidney trouble.
There are many cases, however,
clear. The onset of The disease is
usually sudden. There may be
vomiting and pain in the back and
a slight fever. There are also
many cases without fever.
When the disease follows other
conditions there is likely to be
puffiness under the eyes and
swelling of the ankles and often
the ptaient looks anemic. There
may be difficulty in breathing.

lymph in the body tissues may

" this dropsiCal state invades a
vital organ, like the lungs, death
may occur.
In chronic Brisht's disease the
symptoms may be like those of
the acute form especially if the
chronic stage follows the acute
one.
AS rule. though. chronic kid
ney disorder comes on slowly and
often insidiously. The patient
himself may not know that any
thing is amiss until great deal
OF trouble really is afoot.
Common symptoms which should
call an individuals attention to
his kidney function are puffy eyes,
paleness, general loss of strength
and failing health.
The urine should be sent to a
proper laboratory at once for sci
entific examination. The doctor
is able to determine, by the pres
ence of albumin and other things
how grave the kidney disorder
really is. IT also helps him to
discover its exact nature.
Arterial trouble like hardening
of the arteries. as we'll as heart
and other diseases may go, hand-in-
hand with kidney arrangements
Bright's disease should never be
neglected and person with
chronic kidney disease who neg
lects the diet or ignores the mode
of living prescribed by his ply
sician is taking his life into his
own hands.
Persons with kidney trouble
should live simple life. Water
should be taken freely so as to
wash the kidneys and help rid
them of poisonous chemical sub
stances.
Sometimes lemonade will help
to stimulate the urine flow.
The digestion must be kept as
perfect as possible. Excitement,
worry, excesses of all kinds should
be avoided.
Alcohol in any form is bad for
those with kidney trouble. Ex-
posure to cold should he guarded
against.
Never neglect the ddneys. AL

functioning properly.

It takes no Sherlock Holmes to
discover that all the suffering,
all the tragedy, all the futility
and wreckage of at least two lives
in this book resulted from the
folly of the theory of loose mar

As far as his ideals of love,

conventional as a marcel wave or

Theoretically, he may have

Since life first began on this

has been: CAN YOU OR CAN'T

was moving right along. everybody
had to learn to move with it.
Bodies had 10 learn how 10

to think thoughts-how 10 break
away from prejudice and super

was the law of life. And those
creatures who couldn't or wouldn't
keep up with the procession were
certainly out of luck.
