HERE is a small organ, lying beneath the front
end of the bladder that means little if any,

trouble
This is the prostate gland 1t tends to enlarge

functions Of the bladder About IS per cent of men

half Of these are troubled by it.
Chief difficulty is that the enlargement inter-

One symptom is an increased frequency of excre-

The doctor makes his diagnosis by direct ex-

that way not only relieve the accumulation of fluid

and gaping holes.
1t is not charged that Richberg
deliberately distorted facts and
conditions-as far as he went.
He merely did some canny
manipulating.
For example:
Richberg declared that approx
mately 100000 more persons were
employed in June of this year
than had work in March, 1888;
that total pay rolls in the manu-
featuring industries were 37l2 per
cent higher than in June, 1888, as
against an increase Of 9.6 per cent
in the cost of living; and finally
that the index of corporation
profits had risen from a deficit of
60 in the first quarter of 1888 to
a profit of 32.2 in the second quar-
ter of 1884.
These figures are correct.

The generals first move was a
brilliant one. He conceived and
organized the Blue Eagle, or
blanket code campaign. 1t took
the country by storm. 1t was dur
ing these first two months that
the generals NRA career reached
its zenith. Inch by inch, since
then, it has been slipping down
the horizon.
1t soon became evident that
there was chiseling behind the
stem back of the Blue Eagle. Cen
eral johnson said you can't fool
with that bird it will be
sentence of economic death" But
it wasn't.
IT is too soon to estimate ac-
u curately all the causes of john
sons failure. Both his friends
and enemies will keep on trying
to guess how much was due to
poor judgment of men, how much
to inability to grasp the funda-
mentals Of labor's problems; how
much to indecisiveness or failure
to think through the industrial
problem.

prices and profits must be curbed
or monopoly would shatter what

The next day he felt that in

out its own salvation.
1t is interesting to guess what
would have happened if Johnson
had tried, with single minded de-
termination, to enforce the recov-
cry act Just as it was first pre-
scented TO the country. 1t is just

MY eye! Why does anybody
ever want to leave here?"
They don't" my caseworker
told me, and she was right.
The house was spotlessly clean
and the first meal was revela-
ton. The food was extremely
good. although simple and all pre-
pared by one cook, the only paid
worker. The clients, as they are
called by officials, did all the other
work in shifts of four hours each.
THIS was in exchange for our
Il board, and in return for an
additional five hours a week we
received 9 cents. It interested me
that few of the girls and women
passing questioned that they had
actually earned the 80 cents.
It didn't occur to them that in
doing work involved purely in the
care and feeding of the group,
they were creating no surplus, no
commodities that had cash value.
The majority of them didn't think
much about the whole proceeding.
They were there because they
were stranded. When the case
worker made arrangements for
them to go back home to relatives.
Job, or the local welfare" they
went.
AS 1 looked about me in the
dining room, I tried to analyze
them.
At my table were three young
girls, Estelle, Marie and Pauline.
Estelle was a former dance hall
hostess who was no longer pretty
and was separated from her hus
band; she was apathetic, relying
on her case worker to take care of
her plans.
Pauline was a child's nurse
down for a job from New York;
pretty, aggressive, ano sure of
herself even if broke. Marie had

The directness and decisiveness for
which the American people had

his. He had words to set the spirit

fearless. Overnight. almost, the
capital and the country were gall
vanized into attention by his
whirlwind activity, the sincere ring
of his words. the dramatic quail
ity of the man.
He was the kind of hero the
public wanted-no radical. a man

tricks, yet ready to thunder at
business that it must mend its
ways; a man strong enough, in

He believed. and said again and
again. that the plan would work
only if prices stayed down within
reason. He was convinced that
there must be some" government
control over prices.
But the general also had con-
viction that his plan must neces-

was trustworthy; and that en-

You would think that in such a
group there would be little in
common, and yet we felt closely
drawn together by similar expert
ences and the fact that this was
for the time our only home and
that we were an adopted family,
In reality we had more in common
than We should have had with
those of our former friends and
family who were back in their
homes in a conventional life.

dergone are so deep that you want
to talk to those who have had

nor many OF these women, the
l. conventional life they once
knew is gone, for it involves a
broken home, lost job, or lost
youth that might bring another
home or opportunity.
To these the friends they make
on the road and in temporary
shelters are their only real friends,
and for such as these there should
be some permanent provision that
will include comradeShip with
their own kind.
One group wasn't so dismal as
this sounds, by any means. We
played the piano and sang after
our work was done, we hunted the
cocoanuts that obligingly fell al
most at our feet from tall palm
trees.
We picked oranges and grape
fruit, we went swimming; we
watched the ver-ehanging waters
of the tropical bay just at our
door, and the moonlight on the
water and on the palm trees.
Tomorrow might be good or bad,
it might bring a job or defeat, it
might bring certainty or more in
security. But in the meantime, we
were in one of the most beautiful
spots known to man, and We were
making the most of it.
Down through Florida I went,
applying for all kinds of jobs,
getting a few for short periods.
In a country newspaper office:
Are you a good typeSetter?" L
was asked.
Perfect" I answered, and
promptly spilled stick full of
type. However, I kept the job
long enough to finish a rush job

In a fruit-packing plant at

How many crates can you pack

I named some wild number.
