A STUNNING bed jacket and
L "A bed cover and pillow set is
just about the most ef1cacious
medicine any convalescent can
have.
If you have been sick and are
just at that sitting up stage, prob
ably your spirits would soar and
your tense nerves relax If you
could just see yourself looking like
a million dollars, though sick.
1t is a big mistake not to dress
up for illness. Why not capita
lie the little vacation you are
getting from work and the daily
home routine?
Aside from its being good
psychology to look your best, it
is nice for the family to have you
attractive looking.
Even if you haven't been i'll, it
might be a good idea for you to
humor yourself and spend a week
end resting up. There is nothing
like an absolute rest to get going
right for the strenuous life that
early summer brings.

when resting, you will appreciate

Wheat for the Hungry

The house should lose no time in passing the SEN
ate bill providing that 100000 bushels of the farm
boards vast stocks of surplus wheat be distributed
Free through responsible existing relief agencies to
the hungry unemployed Of this nation.
This measure does not in itself meet the great
national problem Of relief But it will help; it will
prevent starvation; it will prove to the country that
in congress representatives who know and under
stand the plight of the jobess ana who are willing
to help them.
The house should act quickly, and news dispatches
indicate it can, if it viii, because the leaders favor
the bill, and the general membership of the house
Endorses the PLAN
Such action will, hope infuse new hope. in a
depressed country. 1t will help fill empty stomachs;
it will cure of the disappointment of the coun-
try in the inactivity of congress and the amnistra-
ton up to now.
1t will aid farmers and thus help general business
conditions by disposng of part of the wheat surplus
which is depressing prices.
Here is one case in which there is no excuse for
delay.

supreme court has been marred and
obediently has handed down deci-
sions wholly at variance with the
best of constitutional practices and
prejudiceS.
Hoover has not infrequently made
speeches about respect for the law.
I wish he would take few minutes
of some afternoon and look at what
has happened to law.
For instance, the arrests made
during the raid on Zelli's are based
upon the complaint that liquor had
been sold without payment of a
federal excise tax. Now, this seems
to me an attempt to change the
name of our national uncle from
Sam to Scarface.
The government, in other words.
is asking that tax payments ought
to be made upon a business which
is illegal. Under any such theory
the government itself becomes the
greatest of racketeers.
Moreover, it seems to me that
playing one statute against another
represents a complete contempt for
law. Accordingly: as an old lover of
law and light wines, I purpose to
make the resolution that through
out 1882 I will endeavor to do my
best in thought, word, and deed to
help complete the case against pre-
hlbltion and show it up as failure.
Maybe it will take a couple of
cases, but this fanatic is not going

1T used to be the custom of this
Il columnist and many others to
begin each new year with set Of
excellent resolutions. One of the
most common was the VOW to abb
stain from alcohol entirely. Or
sometimes the financial ascetic
merely pledged himself never to take
more than a couple of cocktails until
after working hours.
But, no matter what the Stipula-
ton, it is matter of record that
quite often all the various members
of the guild of self-reform met at
the same place at the same time.
Still, whatever the ultimate outcome
of the resolutions, they did con-
Stitute a sort of mass gesture. There
was ample evidence of the existence
of good will toward abstinence.
All that has changed by now. For
instance, I have made no obeisance
at all toward clean living for the
year 1882. The onrush of maturity
might we'll make it advisable. But
any acceptance of dry program on
my part would carry with it the
stigma of disloyalty.
Unfortunately, I have but one
liver to give to my country, but, just
the same, purpose to give and give
until it hurts.

Record First Need

TN this connection it is well to re-
i member that the British govern
ment has not refused to grant India
a reasonable degree of autonomy.
What it has done is to demand such
an accord among native factions,
cliques and groups as would indicate
a reasonable degree of success for
home rule.
During the recent round-table
conference in London, Gandht
frankly was informed that the
British government could do moth
ing until the Indian people had
overcome their dissensions, but that
it was ready to help formulate and
accept a constitutional government
the moment they did.
Gandhi having failed to bring
about the essential accord, the con-
ference was ended, though not with
out a definite commitment on Pre-
mier MacDonald's part that the
subject of home rule could be taken
up if and when the prophet" made
good.

four to six months.
OF course, it is fairly simple for
any one who has a tendency to
softening and destruction of the

ployed to prevent this disturbance

More and more it is being learned
that the skin may be extremely

Just a Protest

4 SWEAROFF might make peo-
N pie think that I believe in the
eighteenth amendment and that I
was trying to show respect for the
Volstead law. Such is not the case.
Whenever I hear of a piece of pro-
hibition exhibitionism Immediately
rush to the nearest speakeaSy and
say, "Give me one dozen assorted
bronxes and old-fashionedS imme-
diately."
This is not for the sake of pleas
ure but merely in the nature of
protest. Fortunately, as things
stand now, it is never necessary to
rush very far.
A cynical newsgatherer for the
New York Times reported in his
paper concerning the foray against
Zelli's speakeasy.
'Passersby who paused to stare at
the smashed door of the Royal Box
after the raiders had entered it
smiled as they watched suspicious
looking bundles being unloaded, with
no effort at concealment, in front Of
another well-known restaurant only
a few doors down the street"

An Inevitable Session

Delinquency in taA payments apparently will be
so large as to force extra session of the legsla-
ture in order TO finance the state government
Such, at least, seems to be the opinion of SEN
ator Walter Chambers The facts given by Auditor
Williamson support this view
More important, these denquencies in tax pay
ments suggest that revision of tax laws is impera-
tive if the farmer is to be kept out of serfdom and
farm lands from passing into the hands of money
lenders.
More and more the truth of the situation is being
revealed The farmer and the real estate owner
either for residence rental purposes has carried
too large share of the burden and in times Of de-
preston is unable to continue in that role
Some other method than real estate taxes must
be found to raise money to keep the government
going. Some other plan than the present system
which permits of easy evasions by those most able
to pay must be adopted
Opposition by organized labor to special session
is understandable but i'll advised. Labor needs Keller
as badly the farmer.
While powerful financial and industrial interests

me that the citizens of a great re-
