Statistics That Mislead

Food prices in March, according to
the statisticians of the labor depart
ment, were at their highest point
since January, 1882, and the trend
has been consistently upward. Taking
1918 as the average, the retail food
price index was 1885 per cent Of that
average, compared with 1898 In jan
uary, 1882. The bureau Of labor sta
tistics points to the fact that the
figure represents an increase of 20
per cent over March, 1888. While this
recovery from low point is signifi-
cant, its Importance Is not to be judy
ed entirely by the size of the increase.
The period in March, 1888, was one
Of extreme abnormality in which ali
customary induces were at historic
low point. AS q consequence all in
dustrial and trade statistics for March
this year will show strikingly high in
creases over the same period year
ago. Railroads without number show
traffic increases ranging from IS to
more than so per cent when March of
this year is compared with the same
month in 1888. Food prices, along
with those in other important lines,
show comparable increases.
The difficulty in selecting March,
1888, as q point Of comparison Is that
in that month all business was for q
time at q complete standstill and IN
the last half the country was just
beginning to emerge from the stag
nation induced by general bank hol-
iday. These March comparisons are
therefore made with an abnormally
low economic level. The months i'm
mediately following will show some
what similar distortion as the result
Of the quick recovery registered In
April and May over the March low
Statistical comparisons made with 2
year ago for . time will continue to
be somewhat misleading.
While the recovery that has been
made even from these levels Is not to
be minimized. this obvious distortion
should not be lost sight Of before
definite conclusions are drawn with
them as the principal basis. While
the gains will not be as amazing, Il

THE MOST COSTLY FOOD

or Doc Webster Is not so hot when
it comes to technical medical ques-
tions, yet I seldom find fault with his
ideas-you see, I'm trying to win his
regard so he'll give the cri q break
in his next edition. Food, says the
photographer, Is nutritive material
absorbed or taken into the body of an
organism for purposes of growth or
repair and for the maintenance of the
vital processes. reckon we can't Inn
prove on that definition.
A skin specialist, perhaps bored to
extinction hanging around the office
waiting for the next patient. lectured
before a lunch club on the art of
drinking, according to an item sent In
by our Michigan scout. Alcohol, &C
cording to this lunch club savant, is
IAN excellent food requiring no ex-
pensive digestion and offering no diff
ficulty to absorption, assimilation and
elimination" provided you take only
small quantities at each bout. about
two ounces can be used daily by the
average person as a food" the item
makes the doctor say. 1T is most
useful to the physician in treating
cases where there is no appetite, low
vitality and digestive and eliminative
functions have ceased"
Two gallons of alcohol might be
useful, too, for preserving portions of
such patient after some more func-
lions have ceased. First, however, q
good physician should apply resuscita-
ton with one hand and clout over the
ear any maudlin bystander who at
tempts to give the victim q narcotic
depressant drug.
How easily this skin specialist settles
the perplexing problem OF the utiliza-
ton of alcohol in the human economy.
While Psychologists, chemists and
scientific experts struggle endlessly
with the question and never arrive at
a clear understanding, dentists, skin
specialists and brass surgeons with
nothing to do can attend the lunch
club shindy and tell the boys precisely
what's what, and maybe get their
names mentioned in the paper to
boot.

Please recommend a pure toilet soap

toilet soaps on the market. Avoid
soaps purporting to contain "antisep-
tics" or medicated soaps. Avoid high

little borax added to the water will

But Not the Farms


How the tendency toward social
ism always reaches out to strike at
the distant thing rather than the
one close at hand is illustrated by
the current battle in Minnesota over
the platform adopted by the Farmer
Labor party in that state.
BY those who devised it, the pro-
gram IS labelled constructive and pro-
gressive. BY those who oppose it, the
proposal to take over all public util-
tiles, factories, packing plants, and
communication and transportation
systems is declared to be socialism,
II not actual communism.
Which side is correct need not be
determined by North Dakota folk.
We will not be called upon to vote
upon the subject.
But as more or less impartial OBJ
servers we can take an academic view
Of the matter and note the peculiar
tiles Of the situation.
The first and most obvious thing
IS that the urge for state operation,
while touching many parts of our
modern set-up, does not extend to
the farms. There was no demand for
Specialization Of farm lands and COL
lective farming, such as Russia now
Is practicing.
The reason Is plain enough. The
Farmer-Labor party seeks the support
Of large number of farmers. 1t
could not expect much support If it
proposed to reduce the farmer to the
status Of state servant. He has his
troubles but he Is not yet willing to
sign any control over his home place
to any state or political organiza-
ton.
Yet they induce him to advocate
that practice with regard to other
industries in the misguided belief
that he would be helped thereby.
That he reverse is true seems only
reasonable. If and when the state of
Minnesota takes over the industries
listed. 1t will mean an increase in
taxes on farms and other business not
Immediately affected. The farmers
and businessmen would have to pay
the cost Of these state-owned luxur-
les, for it is improbable that they
would be operated as efficiently as
now is the case.
Establishment Of the trend would
set In motion a set OF forces which
would inevitably lead to Russianiza-
ton with collective farming and all
Of its attendant problems.
In so highly integrated society as
our own, it is difficult to dish out
large doses Of medicine to the other
fellow without getting at least little
back.
The farmers of Minnesota might
just as well face the facts and deter
mine now II they want Specialization
on the farm as we'll as in industry.
One inevitably will follow the other.
Unless they do so, they will find
themselves in the position of the man
who was converted to socialism by a
spell-binding lecturer.
Leaving the meeting, he agreed
with his neighbor and friend that So
cialism was the answer to all eco
nomic ills. Both were enthusiastic.
But the bubble burst after the fol-
lowing dialogue:
"Bill, II you had two automo-
biles, would you give me one?"
"sure, Pat. II I had two I'd
give you one"
Bill, II you had two cows.
would you give me one?"
'Sure, Pat. II I had two, I'd
give you one."
"Bill, II you had two pigs.
would you give me one?"
.Ah, Pat, you devil, you know
I've got two pigs"
