Rails Versus Water
Duluth Herald,

e Representatives of RAILROADS who came before the rivers
and harbors congress to say that water transportation is
no good, and that people ought to stop pushing water
improvement projects, certainly picked a poor audience
for such q plea. :.
Naturally, the congress passed a resolution yesterday
declaring that these attacks on waterway programs by
railroad men were "unwarranted," which of course, in
their extreme form. they twere.
Looking 4atctt from the railroad viewpoint, 1t does
seem cruel and,unfair to use public money to give COM
petitors with railroads free right of way
But water transportation is cheaper, no matter what
railroad men say about that. and where it can be used
instead of railroads its use is q public benefit and a public
necessity. ns",slI '+n&- -.
Therefore railing against waterway developments is
wasted breath. n
Sometime it will be. necessary in the public, interest
to consider transportation as a whole, and to relegate
its rail. water, air and. public highway divisions each
into its appropriate relation to a completed system made
up of all of them. t

The Christmas Clubs

The christmas savings clubs" organized by the banks
are each year becoming more and more important in the
national scheme of things. Figures compiled by the
Alexander Hamilton Institute show that more than
$685. oo. 900 will be distributed this year to approximately
II ,0OO 600 members Of such clubs.
The average amount received by each member this
year is $5460-five dollars below last years average.
However, the total amount OF money involved, and the
total number of depositors, are greater than ever before.
Those who are among the thrifty 100000 do not
need to be told that the Christmas club is an excellent
thing for the individuals involved; and a moments
thought makes it obvious that the plan is a good thing
for the nation as a whole. The banks estimate that all
but about 30 per cent of the money will be spent i'm
mediately-a stimulus for business of no mean size!

The Man With. the Hoe
Duluth Heral

Steam restrained bursts powerful bonds with destruc-
tive force. Unconfined, it d~issipates itself harmlessly in
air. - =,
So iii the world Of politics, the violence of revolutions
has been in direct proportion to the oppression that
preceded and caused them. A hated tax resulted in
dumping a cargo of tea into Boston harbor. French
peasants, starving on meal husks and dried grass,
precipitated a red reign of terror. -. 80
Russian farmers, on land until recently owned by the
monarch, now would permit no one to claim title to
property. In the United States, former subjects of the
car, encouraged to claim homesteads, make conserya-
tive, constructive citizens. AS the scars from the lash
of oppression heal. hatred for all government is replaced
by enthusiasm for democratic institutions and regular
participation in public activities. -
In the world today there is no more striking contrast
In Russia, recent victims OF tyranny display the widest
radicalism. In st. Louis county, men born under the
same government build fine homes and good barns and
join with their ~neighborS to construct factories.
And he who would attempt to take from them the
properties they have built up would quickly learn thei1
beliefs as to the right of private property.
Human nature; in this respect, is like steam. Take of
the pressure and the danger disappears.

No R~esubmission by the Drys

The Methodist Board of Temperance, leading dry or

favored by its secretary, DR.. Clarence True Wilson, to

amendment e." >~-~H ~ -

A Row in. a Cathedral.

It is a little bit hard to award any palms to any of the
principals in the Judge Lindsey Bishop Manning episode

in the middle of a church service and demand a hearing
does not quite seem proper; yet. the speech that provoked
the outburst seems, likewise, to have been something less
than temperately episcopal. :. go.
However, the chief prize for poor taste. would seem to
go to certain members Of the congregation, who, as the
offending Judge was being dragged from the cathedral.
cried loudly, Lynch him!" and urged that he be beaten
up and thrown downstairs. AS an example of Christian
meekness and forbearance, this behavior on the part Of
the crowd is not quite what one would expect. -

AVOIDING POIsONS

II someone said to you, you're too
late, I've just swallowed poison"
what would you do? At such a time
life may hang by a thread, In order
that you will know what to do / am
going to tell you how to handle some
common cases Of poisoning.
Many people die each year from
poison taken accidentally. There are
others who take poison while de-
spondent, among them v famous
people and stars of the stage and
screen. Usually, most of these are
rescued by the stomach pump in the
emergency hospital, and the next
morning they are always glad to be
alive.
One who has taken poison may not
lose his life and yet there is nearly
always an injury done to the stomach
! or nervous system when strong poi
sons are swallowed. resulting in a
damaged o. inflamed condition which
may last for the rest of the patients
life.
Statistics show that for some rea-
son. Tuesday morning at IL o'clock
is the favorite hour for. would-be
suicides. Another curious fact is that
poisonings usually occur in threes.
and it also happens that more people
take poiSonS on sunshiny than on dull
days.
To-day the average person does not
fear poisoned wines, blades, arrows,
rings or lockets, and is in no .extr.-
ordinary danger. Of having poison
dropped into his food. At one time
all prominent people used to make
the cook taste every dish first to be
sure that no deadly poison has been
added to it.
Although we no longer have this fear
that poison has been placed IN our
food. accidental poisonings from
home-canned foods are fairly COM
mon. If you open q jar or car which
looks, smells or tastes bad, 1t Is better
to be safe than sorry. Home canned
meats and especially saussces should
be carefully inspected to guard
against a severe poisoning known as
botulism. We often read OF people
dying Of spoiled food such as meat,
fish, mussels or sea food, etc, or
poisonous mushrooms. There is very
little If any danger from commercial
ly canned foods, as the canneries are
subject to such rigid inspection, and
the Gamers, themselves, have found
that it pays to give the foods the
best care possible. However, If a can
is puffed out or blown out at the
end. or has q leak, or the food is dis
colored, it should be discarded.
The treatment from any Of the
ordinary food poisons is very simple,
but it must be quickly applied. First
give plenty Of hot salt water or give
mustard in water to cause the, pa
.tient to vomit. If the patient does
not vomit readily, sticking q finger
down the throat after the stomach is
filled with hot liquid will usually ac-
complish the purpose. The impor-
tant part is to use plenty Of hot

about being burned alive" Finally, when some ex-
tremelyy kind-hearted jailer told him that it was just pos
sible' that he would mot be- electrocuted, the boy went
into a terrific hysterical spasm of relief, screaming
f~rightfully from reaction to his long agony of suspense.
Just what the state OF Ohio will eventually do to this
boy, who is now IA, isn't clear. .Offhand, one would say
that it doesn't much matter. His life would seem to be
pretty effectively smashed already.
That, right now, is not the point. The point is that
this brief, horrible story will tell the historian Of the
future just about all he will need to know about the wis
dom. pity and understanding of the American civilization
of 1880.

A Nation Indicts Itself

A nation that Is cruel to children convcts itself Of pos
session of q very defective sort Of civilization: and every
once in q while something happens that indicates that
we in the United States are not entirely free from that
kind Of guilt.
In st. Clarsville. O, there was q boy named Johnny
Woods. He was 10 years old. and somehow or other he
got the wrong kind of start in life. Whether this was
entirely his fault Is not quite clear. Perhaps there was
something lacking in his environment. At any rate, John
Woods got ipto trouble. -. 80
--aother boy, four years older than John, got John to
attempt a bit Of highway robbery with him. They held
up an aged farmer, robbed him Of the small change he
had with him, and then shot him. They were caught,
the older boy was sent to prison for life. and John was
locked up In the Ohio reformatory. - '
Some little while later John was put in the reforma-
svry. the old farmer died from the wound he had re-
ceived in the holdup. Guards at the -reformatory i'm
mediately began to work on 13-year-oid John. They
reminded him that he was now q murderer and that the
penalty for murder Is death: and they assured him that
he would die in the electric chair.
Then the state Of Ohio officially gave color to this
weird theory by hauling young John Woods back to St
aClairsvills and bringing him up before q Judge for SEN
tence. The Judge heard the arguments and reserved
decision. John was taken back to jail to wait.
What happened was to be expected. John crumplet

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Conopr

N6uCtT
Question: G. H. asks: What il
the best method of preventing the
return of cancer once removed by
operation?- Does exposing the parts
to the sun help?"
Answer: The best method I know
of for preventing cancer is to live on
a careful diet, exercise vigorously
each day, and adopt the right mental
attitude. 1t is a noticeable fact that
cancer rarely If ever develops with
those who continue to live a vigorous
physical culture life. The congestion
of ANGER cells to any one part of the
body cannot occur if the circulation
Of blood does. not become sluggish
Sunbaths are helpful because of the
ultraviolet effect or the blood. Nude
sunbaths should be taken. exposing
the entire body, as the effect of the
the suns rays are no mor helpful
over a certain diseased part than over
the other parts of the body. The
main objects of these sunbaths is to
absorb all of the ultraviolet rays
possible, and the effect is general
upon the blood and not specific to
any one part.
'Wh0Iewheat Breads
Question: H. E. j. asks: May
one who has catarrh eat wholewheat
bread and mullins in which there is
no sugar?"
Answer: Wholewheat bread and
mullins are wholesome foods, but all
starches should be discontinued by
the catarrhal patient until the excess
amount of mucuS has subsidized. After
that, these foods may be used in
moderation with good results.
Eye Trouble
question: X. L. asks: us there
any remedy to stop a white coallng
around the eyes every morning?
Seems to. be caked on the lashes."
Answer: Use some good eye wash
two or three times daily, and have
your eyes examined by a competent
optometrist.

passed through the stomach.
If the symptoms do not appear for
several hours after a meal in which
poisoning occurred, it is advisable to
give cathartics and large quantities
of drinking water, with sweating
baths and enemas. Often a short
orange juice fast followed by a milk
diet is the best regimen to use for
a few days when the patient is re-
covering from food poisoning.
