It sanulf be- remembered however tfrat if we eat more food than we need, the body stores up part of the excess as fat, and continued overeating leads to unsightly deposits of fat in the body. On the other hand, an insufficient amount of food leads to, ,emaciation, even if all of the necessary dietary factors are present. We must therefore watch the quan- tity as we'll as the quality of, the food we eat.

NEW GERM DISCOVERY
 SHOWWS CAUSE OF FLU

CHICAGO.-Embarrassed by the limelight into which announcement of his theory of germ transformation had suddenly thrust him, Dr. Arthur Isaac Kendall of Northwestern Uni, versity has steadfastly refused to an- swer questions, but fe wadditional facts were volunteered by Dr.. Irving s; Cutter, dean of the Northwestern School of Medicine, who has cooperat- ed closely with. Dr. Kendall through out years of experiments.
 With Medium K food for, germs, composed essentially of small ,intes- tine of man, swine, dog or. rabbit, Dr. Kendall has caused the germs to grow manifold from the visible to the wis ible stages and he, can also, send them back into the sDg. Gutter said.
 This simple process has. been de- scribed, by scientists, who heard the announcement last. week, as the greatest :. medical gdiscoyery4 since Louis Pasteur because, they, ssid, it will place within the reach of labor atory gorkers>s alusiye vbacilli and make possible the {aisepvery of the causes of many naladies, ( among them infuenzas common. coldss rheu- matic. fever. sleening sickness, and. even possibly cancer.
 The germs, fed on Mediunas K, grow to comparatively tremendous propor-- tions within two or. three. weeks and disintegrate into. invisibility within ten days.
 The discovery. DT. Gutter said, has lifted veil of mystery surrounding the double life of, germs for years. Heretofore, the standard test of pres epce of germs was the Berkfeld filter, a stone so fine that no visible baclli could pass through it. Dr. Kendall filtered substances and demonstrated that invisible germs existed where science could see none simply by nursing them along on Medium K.
 The experiments, too, have led to the discovery for the first time in the worlds history, of what science be- lieves is the germ that causes influ- enza. .Diplococcus, it is called, and looks like R double biscuit. Seven cases of, the Sfiu in as many sections of the city yielded the same germs.
 While:A medical o4en of the world look toward Northwestern to learn the exact sconsci$uents. of the magic Medium K-prepsrat tion of. which. Dr. Cutter. said, is. so simple a 1Oyear-old boy, could fix it.

Labor Watches on Sidelines
Organized railroad labor has
adopted the part of bystander. But
its spokesman have said unequiv-
ocally that there would be trouble
if anybody tried to lower the pay
scale.
There are those who argue
strenuously that the raise would
mean less money for the railroads
because it would drive shippers to
trucks, the barge lines and the air
planes.
Others suggested that the devel-
opment of other carriers were Civ

In short that there are too many

LINDY'S PLANE
Crosses Canada Into
BLEAK ALASKA

Point Barrow, Alaska, Aug. TO-,
Near the roof of the world, with /
in sight of the perpetual polar ice
cap, Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh
plotted their route today for the
remainder of their vacation trip to
the orient.
4 Welcomed Saturday by a handful
of excited whites and several hun
dred eskimos they brought their
monoplane down on a lead of open
water in Bering sea after a 800
miles flight from Aklavik, N. w.
T., made in six hours and 80 min
uteS.
Mrs. Lindbergh was in almost
constant communication with the
radio stations here and at Aklavik
during the flight.
They left Aklavik after a three
day stay at 7:30 last night. At
1890 the plane radioes that they
were flying over a low fog bank
and would turn inland to find bet
ter weather. A little more than an
hour later a second message said
they had emerged from the fog.
The route lay along Beaufort sea
and the Arctic ocean. AS soon as
word was received here of their
takeoff whites and Eskimos began
to gather at the beach to watch
for the plane.
Lindbergh was undecided as to
when they would continue the trip
or where they would refuel. There
was a possibility he would go on
to Nome, 523 miles away, before
refueling.
The coast guard cutter North
land, carrying fuel supplies for the
plane and food for Point Barrow,
has been locked out by the ice pack
and was believed still to be off Icy
Cape, 100 miles away to the south
west.
Groups on several high points
of land here cheered when they
saw the monoplane approaching
and rushed TO the water front to
await its mooring.
DIR. Henry Griest, medical mis-
sIonary, put out to the plane in a
small boat to extend the official
welcome. Charles Dewitt Brewer
fur trader, mayor and founder OF
Point Barrow AZ years ago, was
not here as he is a passenger or
the Northland.
The visitors found the settle
ment devoid of staples, such as
coffee, potatoes and eggs bur
there was plenty of native foods

enced one of its greatest thrills
since the 1900 gold rush today by
entertaining the Lindbergs with a
trip to the historic gold fields
where huge dredges are at work
and to other points Of interest in
the famous mining town.
The flying couple planned to
take off Thursday morning across
Boring sea for Karagin island, off
the coast of the Kamchatka PENN
sula where fuel and supplies have
been placed on it's southwestern
tip.
The hop, slightly over one thous-
and miles will take the Lindberghs
over the northern and western tip
of st. Lawrence island to Cape
Navarin on the Siberian coast and
then eastward down the Kamchat-
ka peninsula to Karagin island.
After refueling there they will
leave for PetropovlovSk, about $50
miles away, near the end of the
peninsula and then for Toxic, about
1900 miles south. They will proba-
bly, stop about half way between
PetropOvlOvsk and the japanese
capital.
The long over-water hop between
st. Lawrence island and Cape Nav
arin will be about $50 miles. From
the Kamchatka peninsula the route
will carry the vacationists over the
Kurile islands, noted as a brewing
place for sudden storms.
After they leave here the Lind
berghs will endeavor to maintain
contact with the st. Paul island
radio station in the Pribilofs, from
which will be relayed all news con-
corning the light down the Siberian
coast.
Radio compass bearings will be
given the filters by the naval radio
station at st. Paul island, from
which they will be able to deter
mine their position with the radio
direction finder and thereby get re,
liable checks on the compasses
which may be expected to be er
ratio in that latitude.
The plane vii have a full loaC
of almost 500 gallons of gasolin'
when it leave Nome.
In order to conserve fuel on tn,
jump here the Lindberghs lowere,
their normal cruising speed from
about 140 miles an hour to 10
miles.

PREAMBLE ANDPROCRAM OF
The UNITED FARMERS LEAGUE
Adopted at the National Conference of the United Farm
ers League in March and Re-enacted at the North
west Conference of the League at Stanley,
North Dakota Last Week.

For years the great majority of
American faremrs have been get
ting poorer. In spite of the piO-
neer spirit and labor of two gen.
eratiOns of the North Dakota
farmers who hOmesteaded the
land we have nothing to show but
hopeless mortgages, crop leins,
inability to pay our debts and act
ual hunger for our families. Now
IN this world wide economic cris-
is many are in desperate circum-
stances. Great numbers face ru-
IN. They are being turned into
paupers If they stay on the land.
A million farmers and their fam
lilies have been forced to leave the
farm. They are forced to join
the vast army of unemployed
workers in the cities or to become
wage slaves of rich farmers and
farm corporations. The drouth
has made us stih more miserable.
All the empty talk about "relief"
only hides the fact the victims of
drOath, the poor farmers, got no
relief. -
The "keIp" o fthe government
Is only to help bankers get more
mrtgages against the farmers. To
get rich off their suffering.
The cause for these miserable
conditions is the profit making
system where q small class hold
: the wealth and Land Of the cOun-
try and appress and exploit both
workers and farmers.
THEREFORE WE FIND:
FIRST: We demand that the
taxes of all utility companies such
as railroads, telegraphs, old line
elevator companies, power and
gas companies, banks and mort
gage companies, chain stores and
rich capitalist farmers, be raised
to create the necessary funds for
relief of the poor. And we de-
mand that all tenant and mort
gagged farmers be exempt from
paying taxes.
SECOND: We demand the i'm.
mediate discrimination of the
spending of public funds for the
construction of war memorial
buildings, such as the one at
Flaxton. We believe, and know,
that such memorial buildings are
constructed for the purpose OF
maintaining and creating capital.
is war hysteria and to aid the
present capitalist war prOpagan.
da. These funds, also, to be used
for the more useful purpose Of
helping the poor farmers and
workers.
THREE: We demand that the
! millions of bushels of wheat held
