GOVERNMENT SHOWS SPEED.

How close the Government is to the
people of the Nation has been per-
fectly illustrated in the handling of the
drought problem. When the situation
was taken in hand by President Hoover
a call was made for detailed reports
from the county agents in all of the
States that were effected. When the
Governors arrived in Washington each
of them brought additional information
from their own states. This enabled
the President, Secretary of Agricul-
ture, Chairman Legge and the other
representatives of the Government,
and the Governors, to visualize the
exact picture of the drought situation.
Over 800 counties were found to be
suffering from the failures of crops
due to the weather conditions, and
the gloomy details were all in hand,
This made it possible for the Federal
and State officials to map out their
program. Then the Governors re-
turned home and organized State COM
mittees to handle the situation.
In less than two weeks the agencies
for drought relief were in motion in
eleven states. The railroads had an
nounced cuts in freight rates as high
as so per cent Millions of dollars of
Federal aid money was released. Ill
inois and other States ordered i'm
mediate construction of roads in areas
where the construction had been pre-
viously scheduled for 1881. Negoti-
ationS got under way to move thouS-
andS of sheep and cattle from Mon
tana to Minnesota, or some other
State, where feed and paSturage could
be secured during the winter months.
A plan was being developed in &C
cordance with the expressed wishes OF
President Hoover, Secretary of Agri-
culture Hyde, and other federal Off
Gals, TO provide loans to needed far
merS in the drought stricken states
not only on real estate but also on
personal collateral, and the medium
for making these loans was to be
through the already existing cooper
ative farmers association and credit
corporations.
Many older people remember the
droughtS that wiped out thousands of
farmers in the wheat lands of Dakota
and other states forty years ago. All
the Federal or state governments
could do at that time was to feel
sorry" The great life insurance COM
panieS were compelled to forecloSe
their mortgages and sell the farms.
AS a matter of fact the Government
was unable to organize for speedy re-
lief until the World War made it nee
essary to build up machinery for that
purpose. About the first step in that
direction was the Food Administration
and the success of that undertaking
developed the Hoover idea," which
was furnished the identical method
that is now being used to meet the
present drought calamity
The Government at Washington
proves itself to be pretty close to the
people of the United States.

not to speak of corns, would never
occur to torment their unhappy hosts.
For most adults the damage has
already been done and for these re-
medal measures that are prescribed to
fit the foot are all that can be recon-
mended. For mild cases of corns and
callouses some form of salicylic acid
treatment and properly adjusted pads
and bars to shift the weight are help
full. For the more serious foot all
ments, including pronated or fiat feet,
these simple measures are not enough.
Sometimes a proper brace will serve,
sometimes surgery is necessary. In
any case each disabled foot should re-
ceive its own special treatment. 1t
should not be left to the shoe sales
man and patent standard appliance
for correction.
1t is not enough to operate and
brace and pad after the damage is
done Education must concern itself
more energetically with the preser-
walton of normal feet Flat and de-
formed feet are an important source
of discomfort and incapacity.

Probably fewer sandwiches would be
discarded from childrens lunch boxes
if the bread were always of the best
quality. Children will eat more bread
if different kinds are served. Some
times so simple change as baking the
bread in a new form,-a twist or roll
instead of loaf, or cutting the sand
witches into fancy shapes with cookie
cutter, will increase interest in it. The
change of flavor given by added
raisins, dried currants, dates, or nut
meats is another inducement to like
the lunch bread.

The "hot pack is not new method
of canning 1t is the method of filling
the jars to get good results. By the
hot pack is meant cooking the fruit or
vegetable to be canned for short
time, and then packing it boiling hot
into jars or cans, which are then pro-
cessed the required length of time.
The hot pack shortens the time needed
for the food in the center of the can
to reach the required temperature for
sterilization, insures better product,
and does away with the step that used
to be known as "exhausting."
