ditions of life. Some people drink
great deal more water than do
others. Excessive thirst is brought
about by excessive loss of water
from the body.
Sometimes this loss of water is
due to disease which puts a great
deal more water through the kid
neyS in order to relieve the body of
concentrated salts that are the
products Of disease.
Sometimes the occupation of the
person or the character of his sweat
glands is such that he loses a great
deal of water by way of the skin.
In some instances, much water is
lost from the body by the intes-
final tract.
Following hemorrhage with a
considerable loss of blood, a person
is usually intensely thirsty because
of the amount of fluid that has
been taken away in this manner.
In a recent review, Professor Carl
son points out that the thirst appe-
tite has not yet been properly
named.
This appetite, he insists, is never
theless a real factor in life" as it
is apparent that many people inn
bibe so-called soft drinks without
being thirsty or drink one-half Of

Spare the Farmer

The railroads are in trouble. Agriculture is in
trouble. No one knows exactly what to do for either
of them
But one thing that probably should not be done
is suggested by figures laid before the interstate
3 commerce commission this week by the National
Grange.
The figures compiled from the interstate
commerce commissions reports. They showed that
for the year 1923 farm products comprised lit per
cent of the total load tonnage carried by the
Glass 1 railroads of the United States and that this
tonnage produced 2O3O per cent of the total freight
revenue of the railroads that year.
The revenue per ton derived by the railroads from
carrying farm products amounted to $3.50. Products
of mines yielded of $191 per ton; of forests,
1916 per ton; of agricultural manufactures, $500;
of other manufactures $5.1S
The total freight bill of agriculture carload
traffic in 1928 was $98O975,O36. The requested Is
per cent increase would have taken $147137255 more
from the farmers.
For years agriculture has been carrying a dis
proportionae share of the countrys freight burden.
If somebody has to pay to revive prosperity
for the railroads. it should be somebody else.

japan Slips

Japan has missed opportunity to use the
diplomacy for which she is justly famous In punish
ing the American fiers, Pangborn and Herndon, with
heavy fines the Japanese government has created
needlessly ill will in the United States JapanS mis-
take was not in what she did, but how she did it
lust as the United States Numbered in the manner
of excluding Japanese immigrants.
We do not believe for moment that these avia-
tors in violating japanese laws and military regu-
lations regarding flying over and photographing for
titled zones did so deliberately or maciouSly We do
not believe they are American military spies widely
intimated in Japan
Moreover we believe that the regulations Of Japan
and the United States and other countries against
peacetime flying mystery zones are silly sur
vivas of military nonsense.
But even granting that the japanese contention
that her regulations valid and that the Ameri-
cans violated them deliberately, few dim and ques
tionable aerial photographs could not harm Japan
much as the misunderstanding created in America by
the punishment of the aviatorS.
If the Japanese authorities simply had destroyed
the photographs and accepted expressions of regret
from the fiers and American officials for the episode
japan void have come out on top.
AS it is the enemies of peace both sides of the
Pacific will use the incident to spread mutual mis-
trust That result injurious to Japan as to the
United States.

Cut Those Rates

All other civic organizations should join
In the demand of a south side improvement
club for reduction of rates on electric and,
if at all possible, telephone rates.
While property owners are demanding a
reduction of taxes, made burdensome by the
reduced earning power of business and prop
erty and widespread unemployment, this
club charges that the real burden comes
from unfair profits by public utilities.
Under the rules established by the courts
and public service commission, utilities col
lect on basis of the cost of reproduction
of their plants.
That rule was established in order to
give these utilities the right to collect on a
basis of prewar prices for labor and mate
rials, although their plants were built with
low priced labor and materials.
Now the deflation has come in reproduc-
ton costs but it has not come in the rates.
Of course, an alert public service COM
mission, with a desire to protect the people,
would have started it's own Investigations
months ago without waiting for a public
demand. But no one expects the commission
~
tecting the public interest.
Now that the demand has come, senti-
ment all over this city should be organized to
impress the commission with the fairness
and the necessity Of the demand. Reduction
in taxes means little compared with a curb
ing of the utility larcenies.
Perhaps public sentiment may be able to
force an investigation of the amounts taken
by holding companies under fiction of serv-
ice and management. During the last legis-
lature a state senator fought all proposed
laws for the control of these fences. He said
the commission had ample power to make all
inquiries. Now that senator is a member of
the commission. He has his chance to
demonstrate and perform.
If every improvement association and
civic organization will join the southsiders,
public officials might be impressed with the
necessity of choking off public utility rob-
berries during these hard times.

tinuing of the chemistry of the

it from the tissues of less iInpor-

when the supply from without be-

When a human being becomes I'M
conscious, physician or those in

it may be injected with a needle

When person becomes exceed

of the anxiety, he becomes restless;
because of the lack of evaporation
Of water from the surface Of the

The sensation of thirst can be
lessened somewhat merely by wet
ting the lips and tongue, but this is
a satisfaction only to the sensation
and can not satisfy long.
There is one portion of the brain
which is particularly interested in
seeing that the needs Of the body

"They have converted substantially all this great
area with its immense natural resources, from public
into private ownership.
"They have created the widest spread between the
extremes of wealth and poverty existing in the west

the cities, and ignorant underprivieged areas in the
rural districts, which stand as menaces to social
health and dangers to social order
They have conquered many of the forces of ma
ture and made them the servants of man, but have
SO organized and developed their industrial system
that it tends to make of man himself cog in a re-
lentless machine without the inspiration of personal
achievement, or the contentment which springs from
social and economic security.
They have created the largest body of laws and

governor STERLING of Tex
VI as threatens to follow the ex-
ample of alfalfa Bill" Murray and
call out the militia to shut off oil
production.
You can find plenty of lawyers
to tell you it's unconstitutional,
especially for fee, and maybe it
is, but let's not get too excited
about that.
Horace Greeley accused Lincoln
of violating the Constitution seven
times, yet advised people to support
him.
There comes a time when you
can't be sure whether the Constitu-
ton provides a way out and when
you can't wait to be sure.
If experience counts, Sterling
should know a great deal about OIL
That's where he got his start, and
that's where he made his fortune
He has played every kind of a hand
in the game at one time or another.
He knows what the little producer
is up against and how the big
boys work. That ought to be of
some advantage at this particular
moment.

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A BACHELOR, writing to his favorite newspaper
n says that amony is responsible for go per cent
Of divorce.
This statement made, doubt not in all sincerity
Is exaggerated Slightly. The figure should be much
less
1t is not to be questioned that something must
be done to remedy the evils of the polite extortion
that now goes on under the name of alimony. But
another thing we must remember is that all women
who are granted alimony do not get it.
Rich ones often get large sums from rich men
and now and then we have cases of gross injustice
when eX-husbands are thrown into jail for failure
to pay. But in thousands of other instances those
that hear much less about, this granting of ALI
mony is merely a gesture.
The wife may be entitled to it legally But ac-
tually she can't collect it. If husband HES himself
to faro state it takes money to run him down and
get what is coming. Most of the time it costs more
to collect alimony than the alimony is worth.
Anybody who has had anything to do with the
tedious processes of the law paid for it realizes
full well that it's better to have SIS in the hand than
$4,000 in the courts.
THE greatest farce about the whole business of
L alimony is that the woman who needs and de-
serves it seldom gets anything, while the female
racketeer who should have been given nothing in the
first place walks of with the pickingS
As in all other controversial matters, it is the
prominent person who gets alimony publicity Very
little is said in the press of wives who have several
children to support and whose husbands have walked
on and left them stranded.
There is a racket to alimony, just as there seems
to be racket to everything else in this country.
But the wife who divorces Mr.. Average Man,
hoping to exist on his almony going to feel pretty
