LONDON, Jan. George Ber-

Of the east, met in cosmopolitan
London and agreed that politicians
constitute menace Of some sort
or other.
Tagore, addressing the All Peo-

that nations are represented by poll

1T is almost as bad as allowing
a band of robbers to organize the
police" the Indian said.
Shaw greeted Tagore at a recep-

Il have always been telling my
people not to listen to politicians,

Hernorrhoiids
How to End Painful Piles
without Salves or Cutting

Thousands Of Pile sufferers have
learned that quick and permanent
relief can only be accomplished with
an internal medicine. Neither
salyes or ointments remove the
cause.
Bad circulation, of the blood in
the lower bowel causes piles. The
veins are 1abby, the bowel walls
Weak-the parts almost dead. To
end Piles an internal medicine must
be used to stimulate the circulation
and strengthen the affected parts.
DR.. J. S. Leonhardt was the first to
discover a real internal Pile remedy. He
called his prescription HEM ROID. and
prescribed it for 1000 patients with the
marvellous record of success in 900 cases,
and then decided every Pile sufferer
should be able to get HEM-ROID from
their own druggist with rigid money
back guarantee.
e. DR.. Leonhardt's prescription has
wonderful record of success right in
this city and Hook Drug Stores invite
every Pile sufferer to try HEM ROID
and guarantees to refund the purchase
price if it does not end all Pile misery.

TO END BITTER
SHOALS FIGHT
Control of Huge Plants Is
Sought by Many
Interests.
BY HARRY w. FRANTZ
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Disposi-
ton of the s14OOoO,0oO Muscle
Shoals nitrate and hydro-electric
power plants win be subjects of
extraordinary effort by the present
congress prior to adjournment
March 4.
Afoer a decade of debate in con-
gress, Muscle Shoals has become
IN the public mind a symbol of the
great political struggle between
those who favor governmental
ownership and operation of public
utilities and those who favor pri-
Vate operations.
II the Muscle Shoals properties
involved only a question Of hydro
electric power a compromise might
nave been effected some years ago,
but the question Of nitrate produc-
ton complicated the solution as
1t presented a second issue be-
tween public versus private opera
ton adherentS.
Control is Prize
The latter questions became Do
iitically acute because of farmers
agitation for cheap fertilizers.
Greatest and most valuable of the
physical properties involved in the
controversy is the Wilson dam, or
the Tennessee river, built at cost
Of approximately S47,000,O00. Con-
troll Of this powerful cource is the
prize sought by private companies
The other most important proper
Ties are Nitrate plants No. / anc

approximately $13,000,000. It never
has actually produced nitrogen, a,

for operation.
Plant No. 2 is a cyananide plant
which is estimated to have cost be-
tween $60,0O0,000 and $700o0,OO0. II
was intended originally to produce
10000 tons Of nitrogen as ammon-
ium nitrate.
Propose New Board
Technically, the Muscle Shoals
problem is now before a senate
house conference committee which
seeks to effect a compromise be-
tween the Reece bill, passed by the
house, and the Norris bill, passed
by the senate.
In general, the senate plan con-
templates governmental operation
OF both power and nitrate plants,
although the nitrate production is
described as intended "for expert
mental purposes.
The house bill proposed to create
board whose primary purpose
would be to lease the properties to
private citizens and states without
additional expense to the govern
ment.
1t would require the production of
fertilizer in commercial quantities
for sale to the farmer at not ex-
ceeding 8 per cent profit and other
chemical products useful in ma
tional defense.

Throat Wrinkles.

Dear Miss Leeds: viii you please
tell me what to do for lines in my neck?
These seem to come from my neck be-
ing slightly fat. My chin is inclined to
be double, and massage it every morn
ing before applying my makeup, but
so far there hasn't been much improve
! mlent.
Could you give me some exercises
for nv chin and also help me to take
| out the lines in my throat? ! am s
! feet 3 inches tall and am rs years Of
! age weight about 100 pounds What
should weigh? MARY.
| Ansyer.-As one Of the most frequent
causes for throat wrinkles is holding the
| head down, try to make a practice Of
holding 1t erect whenever possible. This
is difficult when one must stoop over a
desk or a book, but at least it can be
| practiced when walking or during re-
| pose. Sleep on a low pillow at night.
The next step in the treatment of throat
wrinkles Is a combination of exercise
| and massage treatments to tone up the
/ skin. Give the muscles running from
the angle of the jaws up to the temples
an upward rotary massage for several
minutes every day. As your neck Is In
! clined to be deshy, lubricate the mas
! sage with a greaSeleSs cream or with
oatmeal water, and use brisk patting
and slapping movement, as we'll as a
massage. You would find a commercial
patter very effective for this purpose.
Any exercise which calls into play the
/ muscles in the neck will help keep
these tissues firm. A good one is to
stand erect, hands clasped behind head,
| feet together. Bend the head as far
back as possible. resisting with the
hands. Repeat to IL times. Another:
Hold your chin up and twist head from
left to right and vice versa. Repeat to
IL times. Rotate the head on the neck
as an axis. Place your hands on your
shoulders. Inhale q deep breath and
| hold 1t for 10 counts, then slowly lower
your elbows, exhaling as you do so.
You will doubtless be able to think Of
| many suitable exercises. Remember that
| any exercise which involves nec,, bend
| ing, turning and rotation Of the head
is good for the neck muscles. The
exercises should come first, then the
| massage, which should be completed By
| patting some astringent on the neck

Your Baby and Mine


The tendency Of mothers to expert
ment with an infants feeding is
always terrifying. It takes so little to
upset a tiny baby, and many mothers.
even those who have fed other babies,
are woefully ignorant of what q child
needs for perfect growth.
The most frightening tendency is to
experiment when the oaby Is vomiting
constantly. II 1t were not so common
place for mothers to jump wildly from
baby grows progressively more under
nourished and less able to stand up
under these changes, these constant
warnings would be unnecessary. The
baby who vomits breast milk and every
type of formula may not be unable to
digest his food because the food itself
is indigestible, but because his stomach
is so formed that it will not allow any
food to pass from the stomach into the
intestine or to be distributed throughout
the body.
There are harmless types Of vomiting.
such as any we'll fed or overfed baby
Is likely to exhibit. One bothers very
little about this If the baby is happy
and gaining, provided he does not spit
up too much. Excessive splitting up
means that he is fed too often, that his
food is too rich or there is too much
of 1t, and we go about making the
changes that will end the vomiting.
But mothers should take notice when
vomiting ceases to be just this over
flow of a full tummy, when it is con-
slant, and Is present, regardless of the
food. Then the vomiting is serious
and the mother should take the baby
to a doctor who knows why he giving a
formula and what it is expected to
accomplish.
My leaflet on Vomiting" describes
the various types SO that a mother may
recognize them. This serious type of
vomiting Is called a structure of the
pylorus, defect in the formation of
The stomach. This type has very little
relation to the digestibility Of food. We
knew Of one such case in which the
mother persistently nursed her baby,
even though five minutes afterward he
vomited, with a gush. all that she had
fed him. Clinging stubbornly to breast
feeding and refusing to look beyond the
to starve to death, all because she in
sisted that breast milk was the perfect
food and If he could not take that he
could not take anything
The point I want to impress upon
mothers in trying to correct the serious
type of vomiting is that the food is not
at fault, but the malformation of the
stomach: and such persistent vomiting
needs expert, not amateur, expert
mentation to decide what type of food.
thick or concentrated, or what form of
medical or even surgical aid may be
necessary to enlarge this CONSTRUCTED
opening and allow the baby to get the
benefit of the food he Is taking.

Ways of Airing Clothes Closets
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

closets, especially those in which the
shelf space Is divided into compart-
ments with small doors. or where
drawers are provided for household
linens. Windows are needed in but
lers' pantries. They are undesirable IN
clothes closets for constant light streaks
and fades textiles in garments, except
those specially treated to become 1aoe-
less.
Night time is excellent for airing
closets, provided the atmosphere Is dry.
If there is a good breeze, so much the
better. Push the door back until 1t
is flush with the wall so that 1t is
not in the way should any one walk
where it might obstruct the passage.
Do this as often as nights are favor
able, and little trouble with close air
will be experienced.
Another good chance to air closets
is when occupants Of the room are
out. No one will be disturbed by a
gaping door. Or If the room Is apt
to be seen by others. even though the
person occupying the room is out,
choose the time when it will be least
conspicuous.
During breakfast is a good oppor-
tunity Windows are wide open TO
air bed clothes, and the room Is not
expected to be in orderly array. The
morning hours are also excellent for
airing CLOSETS.

Squaw-Root.

If you ever searched the sky for a
moon-rainbow: if you ever went hunt
ing for that ethereal shell best named
angels wing" along the glittering
strands of Florida; if you ever thought
for moment you saw the flash of a
cerulean warbler'S wing, or heard a
raven croak, then perchance you have
gone looking for the little flower called
ghost-pipes. and, incredibly, one day
came on it where it grew-a gnomish
parasite upon the roots Of beeches.
Books call 1t common, but 1t will take
sharp eyes to see it. On the other
hand, often come upon the pretty
little beechdrops, which also PARASITIC
the beech tree, but look as innocent as
bluets.
Stranger than either Of these two
kindred plants is still another relative,
the squaw-root, which looks like pine
cone, but each scale bears flowers in its
axis. Under oaks in Rock Creek Park
it is not uncommon, by any means. but
counsel no one to touch it. for it
leaves a weird odor Of decomposition on
the. fingers. The same smell is noticed
in mushrooms and mold, in the tiny
orchid. Wister's coral-root, which Is
very rare in Rock Greek Park, and in
the squaw-root. This cannot be mere
coincidence. for all the plants that have
it are either parasites or saprophytes-
that is to say, plants living on decayed
matter.
So the ill-gotten gains Of parasite
declare themselves in one way or an
other, as the miser cannot disguise his
niggardly habits, nor the light in his
eyes when he smells a bargain.
The beechdrops, as said, look in
nocent, but they have given up the toll
involved in leaves. In the ghost-pipes,
the public degradation has gone farther,
the plant looks Misunderstanding,
withered, brown. Not a trace Of honest
greenery is seen. The flowers too are
shriveled from lovely tubular shape to
an effect like the bowl of an Indians
pipe. And in this squaw-root. the
thievery of this strange little family
cries aloud in an ugly odor.

tinuous service in the House surpasses
that Of any other.
The name OF this patriarchal 1owan
Is known chiefly to the country through
his interest in the farmer and farm
relief.
AS chairman Of the House Agricul-
tural Committee he attached his name
to the famous McNary-H augen farm
relief bill, which, though passed twice
by Congress, never became law because
Of presidential vetoes.
Other important agricultural legtsla-
ton found him sponsor. Probably the
most important was the packer control
and stockyards act.
Rarely does he speak on the floor Of
the House except on questions relating
to agriculture. And he Is q recognized
authority.
Born on farm, the son Of Norwegian
parents, who came to this country in
1886, his whole life has been intimately
connected with agriculture.
When he was 9 years old he went to
work for his brother. 1t was agreed
between them that young Haugen was
to receive as many dollars a month as
he was years old.
He worked under these conditions un-
til he was IA, then set out to work for
himself. Frugal and a hard worker
before he was 10 he had bought farm
and accumulated a surplus Of $50.
He loaned this $50 out at interest.
This transaction and others similar to
it impressed him with the possibilities
Of banking At 81 years Of age he be-
came one Of the organizers of bank
ing company which operated two
branches. He later became president.
Now u, he still Is active in the bank
ing and real estate field. and is one Of
! the most indefatigable workers in Con-
greSS.
