Today Is the
Anniversary of
BIRTH OF

On October !, 1851, James Law
renee, noted American naval officer,
was born in Burlington, N. j.
At the age Of IL he entered the
United States navy Is q midship-
man and by the time he was a was
made q lieutenant. He first attracted
attention in the war with Tripoli
when he served second in. command
to Decatur on the expedition to burn
that captured Philadelphia.
BY brave conduct he rose rapidly.
In 1911 he was promoted to be cap
tain and was placed in command OF
the Hornet. Two years later, after
an engagement Of Is minutes, he cap
tured the British brig-of-war Pea
cock. For this success he received
a gold medal from Congress and was
placed in command Of the Chesa-
peake then lying in Boston harbor.

Brief Years-But Full Ones

Ruth Alexander, the famous young aviatrix who was
killed in a crash the other day. was i'll with tuberculosis
a few years ago. Doctors told her she had perhaps IL
months more to live; but she laughed at them, went
west. regained her health and became a successful and
famous flyer.
Now, however. she is gone: and there seems an ironic
twist in the fact that the sport which helped her to shake
off disease should finally have killed her. Yet It may
be that the irony is not quite as sharp as it seems.
After all. If she only gained a few years Of life, they
were full. active and enjoyable years. If to live intense
ly is the secret of happiness, Miss Alexander got more
from her brief life than some OF us who will outlive her
by two or three decades.

Human Nature
(Hazelton independent

0dQZelCO0 l0QepeOQenC
There is an old saying that human nature is the same
the world over. That is certainly true. The writer's OBJ.
servatton Is that individually human nature runs along
In about the same channel wherever you find It: but in
the classes, it seems to us that human nature has q wide
variety OF difference. For instance we received q letter
this week very friendly letter-that brought the
thought to mind to write this editorial. The writer Of
the letter was telling Of some OF the things experienced.
One was that city folks in many instances believed that
farmers were q Stingy, selfish lot that receive a great
price for the commodities they sell and are instrumental
In charging SO much for produce that the city folks can
not afford to buy it. That's q side of human nature Of
those who don't know anything about the farming game
or the hard knocks endured on the farm. Some Of these
folks even think 1t perfectly legitimate for them to go
in the way Of produce from the farm, fields. orchards or
garden-and yet II these city bred folks would catch any
one as much as plucking q flower or nosing around their
town residence. they would call the police. Then there
IS the workingnan who cannot understand the stand
his boss takes as regards wages or the manner in
are = set Of nabobs whose only pleasure it Is to grind
down the workingman to the very lowest wages and make
him work the longest possible hours. The boss cannot
and why they don't break their necks to do more work
for him. The farmer believes the folks In the city have .
tine time OF It and get along on little work for which
they receive a lot OF money, and he reSentS the dIudgery
OF the farm and longs to get into the city and indulge In
luxury. But when you come right down to 1t. every sta
worries years off his life trying to make his business
show q profit; the farmer works and tolls day In and
he breaks = s. down oW eh his hes,t q a maKe dies Do' set eres b me t'nn sn .
poor man; the doctor is called upon to go out at all
times Of night, being broken Of his rest, then he loses
about half Of his accounts, worries over the outcome Of
his patients and thus his life Is not altogether q bed Of
roses-and so it goes all down the line. Human nature
Is all the same the world over. Each class believes the
other class Is either crooked or Is discriminating unjustly
against the other. They do not understand the other
fellows troubles and worries, that's all. The writer has
been around some. Done ( ~.erything from working on
the section. farm and printshop to hobn0hbing with the
so-caled professional and business class; and Individual
ly he cannot see but what every class has their particular
line OF grief, worry, work, financial embarrassments, happy
times ana contentment-an we fi.d that no matter to
what class folks belong-human nature follows one quite
narrow channel in lifes pathway.

WHEN WRrTING FOR ADVICE

WHEN WRITING FOR ADVICE
AS my readers probably know. I am
always pleased to send my advice o.
information to them in answer to
their letters. However, the large vol
ume Of mail which I receive makes
it necessary that certain rules be fol-
lowed:
First-Your letter should be short
and to the point (not over $50 words)
and 1t need not give your whole his
tory. All that Is needed Is the name
Of the disease from which you are
suffering. It is always advisable to
enclose your doctors diagnosis when
you know what the trouble is.
Second-Your letter must be adj
dressed to me in care Of this news
paper, and 1t must be accompanied by
q large, self addressed, stamped en-
velope. Give your whole name on the
envelope, and be sure to add your
street or mail box address, and the
city and county.
These instructions are simple, aren't
they? Yet, you would be surprised to
know just how many hundreds Of let
tiers I receive without any name or
address to which I could send a reply.
For example, one woman has written
me four letters, the last three asking
me why I did not answer the first
one, and in none Of the letters did
she send her name or address.
Another surprising thing Is the
number Of letters that come In giving
a set of general symptoms that might
apply to a dozen or more diseases and
expecting me to make q diagnosis;
but, unfortunately, q careful physical
examination Is usually necessary In
making q diagnosis. I do not under
take to make diagnoses by mail. II
you do not receive q reply in . few
days do not be alarmed. and insist
on a careful examination. You may
then send me q report Of his findings
and I can then send my advice as to
the correct diet and treatment which
I think might be suitable.
Your letter must be addressed to me
In care Of this newspaper. II you do
not receive q reply In q few days do
not be alarmed, and you do not need
to send another letter inquirfng about
the first one, as it usually takes about
two weeks before you will receive a
reply, and In some cases 1t may take
q little longer, as some letters require
special research work before being an
swered.

u. S. C. of c.. Comes to Life
(Bottineau Courant,

That eminent bunch of tripe, the u. s.. Chamber OF
Commerce, markedly silent since Chairman Legge Of the
farm board handed 1t q hard wallop on the occasion
when 1t resoluted our farm marketing act should be
rescinded. has again bobbed up for notice by asserting
e IAN In wheat cannot be eliminated unless there is
100 per cent world wide cooperation by producers.
II then proceeds to resolute gambling in grain must
be supported, ditto the grain gambling houses grain ex-
~changes).-
Comment Is unnecessary except to explain that since
that bunch OF tripe are mostly. addicted to stock and
grain gambling, 1t naturally follows they uphold stock
ana grain gamblers. Having told us what we before
knew, let us hope the chamber will now indulge in an
other period Of somnolence.

The Latest DEVELOPMENT

The latest development in the situation created by the
senate investigation Of Illinois politics is q solemn warn
Ing issued by members Of the senate committee that
publication Of charges made by Ruth Hanna McCor-
mick against the committee members will be regarded
BY them as libel.
It Is not to be expected that the newspapers who have
espoused Mrs. McCormick's cause viii be dismayed at
this threat. They will recall that Henry Ford once sued
. great newspaper for libel and received q six-cent YER
dict after Mr.. Fords ideas. innermost thoughts and even
his very soul had been turned inside out by examination
pf skillful lawyers while he was on the witness stand.
They will recall that Theodore Roosevelt once sued an
editor In Indiana for libel and got a judgment for 81
after \ lengthy trial.
And they viii 60 right on saying whatever they wish
10 say about the senate and its investigation committee.
Members Of the committee charge that they have been
grossly misrepresented and treated unfairly. That may
be true and there is small doubt that Mrs. McCormicks
partisans have left no stone unturned to discredit the
Investigation and the investigators.
But be that as it may. the COMMITTEES will find it diff
4icult to invoke the libel laws In its behalf should it, or
any member Of it. institute an action in a court.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Hearfhurn and WafArhrosh

1AC03 SUU3AA anu VSStCIU vi SU
Question:. K. asks: Can you give
me through your health column a
diet suitable for heartburn and water
brash?"
Answer.-Heartburn and waterbrash
can be cured by living on the proper
food combinations, and avoiding the
use OF. excessive amounts Of food.
Overeating must be cited as one of
the principal causes of these troubles.
Continue to study my articles each
day, and you will soon learn how to
combine your foods properly so they
will not form incompatible mixtures.
Soda In Cooking
Question: Mrs. II. asks: us the
use Of soda in food harmful, such as
putting 1t into tomatoes while cook
ing?"
Answer.-I do not believe there is
any harm in killing food acids with
soda. except that the fruit acids have
q value in stimulating digestion, and
this help is lost II the soda is used.
Some Of the vitamins are also de-
stroyed by the soda.
"Bleeder'
Question.-W. p. writes: 81 have
peen suffering from hemorrhages of
the lungs for thirteen years without
having tuberculosis. will you kindly
ADVISE me through your column If
there is any cure for it?"
answer You are no doubt what is
ca!leo q "bleeder," and can get rid of
this tendency II you will adopt a diet
containing plenty of cooked and raw
greens. These foods contain the ele-
ments which the blood requires for
proper coagulation. Add q dish of
gelatin to your diet each day and this
WILL also assist in fortifying the body
against hemorrhages.
