A Horrible Example

Government ownership has been
carried to greater extreme in
Australia perhaps than in any
other country. Thanks to the
domination for many years of the
radical labor party there, the
commonwealth, the states and the
municipalities own not only rail
roads, telephone systems and cleo
trio light plants, but many hotels,
cafes, markets, shipping lines and
o t h er business establishments.
With the result that Australia has
become the worst debt ridden COM
monwealth in the world, since 95
per cent of these politically oper-
ated business concerns are losing
money, while at the same time,
being state owned, are paying no
taxes to meet the deficits they
create. AS horrible example Of
what happens when government
goes into business, the situation
in Australia ought not to be over
looked.

Wheat Price in Germany

Wheat, in Germany, is selling
for $1.96 per bushel. Why? Ger
many's 1880 wheat crop was only
131, 100000 bushels. This is TO-
100000 bushels less than Kansas
produced this year.
Yet, with this small crop, the
German farmer was only receiving
thirty-four cents a bushel for his
wheat. The German Government
then placed a tariff of $1.62 a
bushel on wheat. This immediate
ly raised the price of wheat to
farmer. Germany does not pro
duce a surplus and the tariff is
Immediately reflected in the price
of her wheat. We continue to
grow a huge surplus, which no
body wants, thereby destroying
some of the benefits of our forty
two cent tariff. Why not take a
lesson from Germany?

Too keep '.peppy' though ac-
tive in summer sports, take a tip
from the athlete and drink your
right in the same cooling
drinks we like to imbibe! 1t has
been said that much of the illness
which occurs during and after the
summer months may be traced to
exhaustion effected by summer
sports, which deplete the body's
energy and leave it a prey to the
errant germ.
Instead of numerous ''don'ts"
try three single dos: Quit ex-
ercising when you begin to tire.
Ralax for a few minutes after
your game. Replace the body's
fuel supply with quick energy
foods, as soon as relaxation per-
iod is over.
"Quick energy foods, in case
you find the term vague, are those
which are assimilated by the body
without preliminary process of
digestion, and Immediately begin
to replace the sugars in the blood
and muscles which have been
burned by exercise.
While most of our energy comes
from carbohydrates, many of them
must be changed from a com
plex" to a simple sugar before
utilization by the body, and this
causes delay in getting "pepped
up Therefore the carbohydrates
which do not require these bodily
processes are called "quick en-
ergy" foods.
This class of foods contains
''fruit sugar. or what the dieti-
tians call "dextrose", placed by
nature in many of our native pro-
ducts. Corn syrup, because of the
large amount of this element it
contains, is one of our most val
liable energy foods. This syrup
may be easily added to our favor
