Crowds Gather Early
Long before the doors opened SEEM
ingly hundreds swarmed in front of
the store and blocked pedestrian traf-

they crowded into the gaily decorated
store and seemed to enjoy moving in

counters piled higs with merchandise.

ONE OF THE CHEAPEST
AND BEST FOODS

Campaigns to encourage the con-
sumption Of milk will, of course, bene-
fit the dairy farmers of the nation
but far greater benefit will come to
the public as whole, and particular
ly to growing children.
The value OF milk us food can hard
ly be over-estimated, 1t has no effec-
tive substitute. 1t contains elements
vital to sustain and nourish the sys-
tenn and provides them in easily as
simulated fern. DR.. Percy Howe. lee
turer Of Harvard Medical and Dental
School, says quart Of milk day will
help prevent decay of teeth by fur
nishing necessary lime.
1t may be said that the nation has
rever had better or safer milk sup
ply than at present. In most states
rigid codes of standards are in force
and organizations among dairymer
themselves are working in the inter-
ests Of safe and wholesome milk. II
is one of the cheapest foods-anc
likewise one of the most necessary.

THE NAvYs CIGARS.

The discovery that naval vessels in
Boston Harbor have stocked their
commissariats with cigars purchased
in Cuba, has brought protest from
Mr.. John Duys, president of the As
ISOLATED Cigar Manufacturers and
Leaf Tobacco Dealers of America, to
the senators of the nine large cigar
tobacco producing states. American
cigars, he says, are superior to those
found in any other part of the world
as regards tobacco, sanitation, skill
and economy of manufacture; at the
same time the price of good cigars is
lower than it has been since before
the war.
Mr.. Duys was told by naval officials
that the rule that the navy shall pur-
chase only American goods, provided
the prices are reasonable, is applicable
only to ships in ports of the United
States. Such an Interpretation, he
says, leaves the navy free to lay in
large stores of many commodities out
side the United States and return
with them to home ports. He feels
that this does not follow the spirit of
the rule which is obviously intended
to encourage the spending of navy
funds among the people who are taxed
to supply them
This seems only fair conclusion,
since the cigar industry is taxed-in
addition to the ordinary taxes on a
S336,o0O0OO business-S21 100000 year
in internal revenue levies.
"At time when unemployment is
still serious national problem Mr..
Duys says, and when, though the in
dustry is not seriously affected, many
American cigar factories are working
part time, 1t seems to me that we can
not neglect even such minor oppor-
tunities as this-which could be easily
seized-to assure American taxpayers
that the money they supply the navy
will be returned rs far as possible to
the countrys agriculture and indus
tries" He will find many to agree
with him.

INDIyIDUALIsM MUST
MEET CRISES

A recent release OF the Socialist
Party OF America contains comment
on Red Hunger Riots In Chicago"
by Adolph Dreifuss, secretary, Social
list party Of Cook county.
Mr.. Dreifuss' account is startling.
Three rioters were killed, many fami-
lies have been evicted from homes
and misery in densely populated negro
districts in Chicago's south side "has
become unbearable.' He places the
blame squarely on the city govern
ment, saying that If 1t had been
really alive to conditions among Its
citizens 1t could have easily foreseen
these riots and taken measures for
relief.
Opponents of socialism must take
an interest in such happenings. The
hungry and homeless are ready to ex-
pertinent with governmental theories
that promise them Utopia. Our pres
ent form of democratic government
and business must, in depressed times,
Justify themselves by actions rather
than words, or the inevitable result
will be swing toward socialism
A number of great business have
taken steps to protect their workers
and carry them through bad times.
Every business which is able to do so
shcslld follow this lead. If they fail
in the crisis, they are liable to awaken
on some not-so-far- distant tomorrow
to find that new centralized govern
mental power is controlling their
destinies, and that American ideals OF
private initiative and enterprise and
personal liberties have been submerged
in sea Of governmental paternalism

BACK TO SCHOOL.

Washington's thousands OF school
children have now put their vacations
behind them and are struggling with
reading and 'riting and 'rithmetic.
Because OF the excellent work done
by the parent-teachers organizations
in promoting the Simmer Round Up
most of the children are we'll prepared
physically for the school year, after
the detection and correction of their
defects.
But the danger of contagious d.
seases increases with the opening of
school, because of the closer contact
Of the children.
Particularly has it been shown that
diptheria and smallpox increase after
school opens. The wise parent, l,ow-
ever, remembers that vaccination will
completely protect against smallpox
and that there is no other protection;
and that the child can be immunized
against diphtheria. In fact, in sew
eral large Eastern cities there has not
been one case of diphtheria for years
because the parents have been diligent
in furnishing their children protection
against the disease.
Another danger turks in the cold
which is truly catching" passing

Often child, hoping for a perfect at

he should be in bed, endangering both
his own health and that of his school
mates. The first stages of several
serious diseases are colds, headache
sore throat and high temperature

should be kept home, put to bed ano

disposition be slight or serious, the
