 This very day cutting ice two feet thick in Maine. And this very day in the groves of Florida they picking oranges and grapefruit In the North the skating is good at Miami the swimming is fine the temperature of the water being 75 which is ideal Ours is a great and varied country.
 The great thing that distinguishes is that can go far to the North, South, East West and find people who have the speech, the ideals and the manners. Russia is the only country compar able to in extent and is divided by large number of languages The Engshman, Frenchman, Italian, German Spaniard cannot travel "A hours before he must change his speech In Denmark Norway and Holland few hours takes the native the boundaries where his language is virtually un- known.
 We have immense differences in climate, in flora and in fauna, but common language makes us a homogeneous people. There have been futile at tempts to make us bilingual-the Germans back in 1849 tried that in Wisconsin, the Mexcans trying it now in Arzona-but these efforts and dis tincty wrong To be united people must have but one tongue To have many tongues would be to repeat the confusion of Babel where men, not being able to understand another, scattered all the face of the earth and lost the power which from communal effort.

 In the stream of propaganda issuing fronf the Republican National Headquarters ringing appeal for the restoration of States rights" The Old Guard funglemen demand: Give the states back to the people This precious jewel of government must be returned to despoiled citizenry Under the Roosevelt regime, there has been inaugurated the principle of protection for the worker against un- just practices and ruthless tyranny. The authority to exercise the Federal machinery has been granted to the President by the votes of the people under the law and the Constitution It has been usrped and those who shouting lustly for this precious jewel of government certainly are not speaking for the people; they are battling for the return to power of the privileged minority.

NEITHER EXTREME ACCEPTABLE

Lobbying the efforts any special group to get lawmakers to pass legislation which would be advan- tageous to it or it's members has been the bane of Congressmen since time immemorial Some of it is good in that it represents the voice of a certain community. state a recognized Some of it is equally bad because it is the effort of special few to dictate policies for the greatest number, or what have to know as special interest or minority rule
 In this latter class Senator Pat Harrison of Mis- sissippi places the American Liberty League. Com menting on the action of the League recently in Washington, Senator Harrison said:
 The American Lobby" League composed in most part of group of gripping, disgruntled politicians masking under the of the American Liberty League, is undertaking to tell Congress what legislation is should enact It becomes increasingly apparent that this band of sturdy super patriots is ready to take both the legislative and judicial functions of the Federal Government and perhaps to assume control of the executive function as well.
 Under this new arrangement there will be no more Senatorial investigations like the Wall Street investigation of 1883 in which the American people were given peek at the fi- nacal wizardry of of the eminent gen. tlemen who are directors and contribu- tors of the American Liberty League. There will be no more Congressional probes like that of last summer which showed that the privieg ed interests spent conscienceless sums trying to defeat then pending legislation
 The Leagues platform is plain. The main plank is to undo all that the Roosevelt Ad- ministration has done for the benefit of hon. est business, the farmer. the wage earner, the home owner and the underpriveged citizen generally, and to return control of the Nations nolitical and financial affairs to the bl,rndering and rapacious elements whose ayarice capacities brought on the depression
 President Roosevelts courageous and con- str,,ctiye course will not be diverted by the plutocratic propaganda of this group or any

other organization masquerading as patriots

but in reality apostles of greed.
 If the Liberty League is lobbying group for special interest government Senator Harrison says, it's value in the present political campaign will be virtually nil. The Democrats traditionally against special privilege while the rank and file of Republican have usually looked for something else although their leadership on too many occasions has turned them down for the pleadings of plutocracy, Com munism is obnoxious to good Americans. In direct contract the Liberty League, as silk-stockng oi- garchy would be just revotng to the average middle class American.

The record of MT Roosevelt will be subjected to attacks the motive for which will be entirely political The voters will realize as they read and hear of the Presidents alleged shortcomings, that the men who are assailing him belong to the same crowd who failed so miSerably to solve the Nations problems prior to 1883.

Your Health
Diabetic Must Cooperate With Doctor
 And Adhere To Strict Diet

ize 6 syringe, and to inject inSulin when necessary.
 Fortunately, experience has shown that even children are able to learn all these things, and to cooperate suitably with the doctor.
 Tn working out Q satisfactory diet, the diabetic must be able to weigh his food, and he should do this regularly until he learns to judge with accuracy the size of Q given portion.
 All vegetables and fruits contain some carbohydrate or sugar, but vary In the amount that they con- tain. Grapefruit, cabbage, lettuce, cucumbers, spinach, asparagus, cel- cry, tomatoes, watercress, Brussels sprouts, caulifiower, mushrooms and rhubarb are classified as 6 per cent vegetables.
 Much more sugar is contained in oranges, strawberries, black cur- rants, gooseberries, blackberrieS, tomatoes, turnips, beets, carrots and onions. These are called 1 per cent vegetables and fruits.
 The IS per cent group includes plums, apples, pears cherries, raSp- berries, green peas, artichokes and parsnips, The 20 per cent group, which should, of course, be used sparingly, includes bananas, prunes, potatoes, boiled rice, barley and macaroni.
 Such cereals as oatmeal, which contains about 68 per cent of car- bohydrate when weighed dry, and ordinary white bread, which con- tains about 50 per cent of carbo- hydrate, are questionable items.
 The diabetic then is in @ serious situation, because he cannot eat too much protein and fat without tak- ing carbohydrate. If he does this, he may develop a condition called ketosis, which in itself is most difii- cult and unpleasant.
 The chief danger to the diabetic is the sudden onset of unconscious- ness, called coma. The other dan- ger is lack of sugar in the blood. This causes condition which, to the uninformed, may seem like an attack of coma, although it is just the opposite.
 Tn an attack of coma 1t is neces- sary to give insulin promptly, and occasionally to give injections of glucose at the same time. It is also necessary to support the circula- ton of the blood and to watch the condition of the patients heart.
 Any diabetic threatened with coma should be under continuous medical observation, preferably in g hospital, and should be watched carefully until the condition has been averted.

 Easy.to.manage Varlties of cur. rent hair modes arc best for the college girl. She will want her shining locks to be brushed up- ward ct the back and backward from her brow, of course, but she will want to Do perfectly sure that the arrangement from then on is casual and fresh looking and simple to whisk into place.
 If you want to go to college with your hair brushed upward and fixed in c roll that extends, coronet fashion, oil around your head (Parisiennes like this one), better have your hair cut quite short. Otherwise. you'll have too much trouble coaxing the long ends back into Q roll. If you have had c fine permanent on the ends of your hair, why not Q glorined version of your old favorite, the windblown bob?
 If you cut bangs, do have them start quite far back from the fore- head, get them permanently waved and wear them fluffy in the Kath- arine Hepburn manner.
 Right now is the perfect time in your life for you to study your features and neck as well as the texture and thickness of your hair. The coiffure that doesn't frame the face in fiattering manner, makes the neck look long and slender, but not too long and certainly not skinny, isn't worth the trouble 1t takes to have 1t fixed.
 Further, you ought to start wear ing your hair the new way several weeks before you take the train to college. This way, you allow your- self time to get used to the feel of 1t and to learn how to care for 1t.

 Here's Q French way of serving spinach - cr0quetteS d'EptndrdS. Mrs. Fleur Bostron, of Allegheny, Pa., sent 1t:
 Mix a cup of cold boiled spinach, finely chopped, with e cup of cold mashed potatoes or fresh bread crumbs mixed in milk. Season with salt and pepper. Bind with the yolk of an egg, roll in balls, sprinkle with bread-crumbs and fry in deep fat or saute in butter.
 A souffie, says my old friend, the dictionary, is "a light, fluffy dish prepared with beaten whites of eggs" That's a pretty prosy de- scription of a good soufiie; 1t does not come within . mile of this spin ach soufIIe.

WOULD YOU RATHER BR WRONG THAN LOMRH0hlE2

WOULD YOU RATHER BIZ
 WRONG THAN LONESOME?
 Tn 6 handbook of instructions on resuscitation appears c statement that the instructions in tho hand- book have been Approved" by the American Red Gross and about c dozen other organizations, societies, councils, bureaus and the like, alto. gether Q most imposing weight of authority-if you are readily iIns posed upon by such authority"
 The method this manual pVrports to teach as Approved" by the in. competent Authorities" listed on the front page, is the prone pressure method. The man who devised and introduced this method is not men. toned by these eminent author. ities. It Is customary, however, and perhaps courteous, to mention the name of Schafer if you refer to the Schafer pressure method of artificial respiration. Not, of course, when you seek to modify the method, as does the American Red Gross. The issue for 1928 included even c recommendation (with plcture) that the victim Of drowning be subjected to the jack-knife n1aneuver to empty water out of the windpipe," But evidently the bright young man had some qlialms about the wisdom of that deadly stunt, for the puzzled student of resuscitation is advised to "spend little time upon this effort" For some iE1Scrutabie reason this quaint trick was omitted aitCgether from the 1929 edition of the manual. I wonder if some iowbred critic laughed out loud ct the absurd pre- lenses of the American Red Cross and the dozen imposing ogSacial bod. les that approved" this funny bus- lness? Anyway, t was dropped in since. =
 Tn the correct method of applying prone-presssire both of the subjeCt's arms are extended well above the head. There are good reasons for this. In the incorrect method as taught and approved" by the Red Gross and the organizations that blindly follow the Red Gross lead, one of the subjects arms is placed under the subjects head. This po- sition may be more satisfactory for taking pictures to print in pamph- lets or manuals distributed by the Red Gross and yes-man 0rgani1a- tions, but it is not SO good for the subject if the subject actually re. quires reconciliation.
 In the first place, when both arms are extended well above the head the subjects thorax s in the most favorable position for inhalation. Tn the next place, when the subjects head is lifted to rest on the fore- arm any fluid in the breathing passages will not drain from the mouth and even . little fluid may snuff out the feeble spark of life. Finally, when you raise the head on the forearm the subjects tongue may fail back over the opening into the windpips and thus by bail~valve action defeat your efforts to re. gsoge hgeathins,

Why does the American Red Cross persist in this serious error year after year, in spite of the fact that public attention has been called to it again and again?
 The Hchafer method was devised by Q physioiogist who knew precise. y what favors and what hinderg re Suscitation. Whoever dares to change the method robs asphyxiated or drowned victims of their chance of recovery.

 Every man, woman or child should be prepared to resuscitate any one rescued from drowning, gas asphyxiation, carbon Inonoxide poiS- oning, opium poisoning, smoke, smothering, electric shock. If you have not received instruction in the method you can easily learn it from the booklet "Resuscitation", which ] am glad to send to any correspon. dent who viii provide Q stamped envelope bearing the correct ad- dress.

 Answer-Actually there is no basis for such notions. Milk, butter, cream, cheese, eggs, buttermilk, skim milk, condensed milk, evapo- rated milk, powdered milk, ctistards. ice cream, ell belong in the first line of corrective, protective foods. No other food is more wholesome. healthful, nourishing or digestible for most people.
