Suzanne would only giggle and
insist she had read BesS' mind,
but here's her secret.
She planned to spring the trick
at the party, so she had written
the number 43 in soap on her arm.
When she scrubbed on the slips,
she wrote 43 on each of them!
Then, no matter which was chosen,
it would read 43. And the pile of
ashes could never give her away.

following kind Of story:
Thin, restless and unhappy
looking, the patient, when asked
what was the last time she could
remember feeling perfectly well,

If she didn't have headaches, she
had a tired feeling; if she didn't
have that. she had indigestion.
Asked what she eats for break.
fast, she replies that sometimes
she doesn't eat anything at all.
The reason Is she doesn't feel
like eating breakfast. If she does
eat breakfast, she eats a piece of
bread and butter and a CUP of
black coffee. She does not drink
milk because it disagrees with
her. Sometimes she doesn't eat
any lunch, or if she does. It ia

ter and a little ice cream. For
the evening meal she likes some
cornbread with cream on it. Rare
| ly, a small piece Of meat; very
rarely some kind Of fruit: yege-
tables are mostly potatoes or
sweet potatoes.
Doesn't Eat Enough
She is on the ragged verge NJ
dietary deficiency, without actual
starvation.
No wonder she feels tired, il
easily upset, subject to ashes and
pains. She just barely gets enough
energy in her food so that it can
be called at the lowest border Of
adequate and maintain her at a
weight level a few pounds below
what she ought to have.
Such is the common picture Of
nutritional inadequacy in young
and middle-aged people. Actual
deficiency diseases are commoner
in infancy and in old age. These
deficiency diseases are dependent
not SO much upon the actual
amount Of food-that is, upon an
adequate amount of food-a8
upon an improperly distributed
set Of foods.
In infancy and childhood, the
processes Of growth impose great
demands for the growth of tissue.
and the well balanced diet must
include adequate quantities Of pro.
teinS, fat, carbohydrates, minerals
and vitamins, which means milk,
eggs, vegetable purees. orange
juice, cod liver oil, spinach and
carrots.
When a proper quantity Of
these substances is lacking, mani.
festations Of disturbances in
growth, bone formation. blood
formation and nutrition, are cyl.
dent.
Healthy Growth
The fact that children's special
lists and other health agencies
have been educating the public
for the last IS years along these
lines, mas served to reduce theSe
diseases in infancy and to reduce
infant mortality. A sturdier
young generation is coming along.
knowledge of how to add proper
vitamins to the food has overcome
and compensated for the refine
ment and concentration of infant
foods as practiced by many manu-.
featuring concerns.

SOME BIG SALARIES

As provided by the revenue act OF
1884, the Treasury department has re-
Gently issued a report giving the names of
perionS drawing salarieS of more than
$4,000 a year. of which there are some
$4,000 A few of the highest salaried ones
are listed as follows:
William Randolph Hearst heads the
$40, 900, and Walter Clifford, president
of the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, received $4,000.
No other movie star received a salary
approaching that Of Miss West but some
of them did very nicely. Bing Crosby re-
ceived close to 100000, Constance Ben
nett drew $4,000, w. C. Fields was paid
$155,000, Marlene Dietrich got $145,0O0,
and Gary Cooper received nearly S140,-
600
Walt Disney of Mickey Mouse fame
is listed as drawing only SOL 900 salary in
1884, but his returns from royalties prob
ably Melted him a very large sum in adj
dition.
Col. Frank Knox, publisher of the
Chicago Daily News. who is an avowed
candidate for the Republican presidential
nomination, would just break even if he
should happen to be elected, as he now
receives $4,000 year as salary.
Perhaps the highest paid person in
the United States for several years has
been George w. Hill, president of the Am
erican Tobacco Company, whose salaries
and bonuses combined ran between $780,,
600 and more than million dollars an
nually.
The question naturally arises as to
whether any man is really worth that much
money, but Mr.. Hills stockholders and di-
rectorS seem to think so, and his company
has made large profits all during the de-
preston.

money and could buy more goods
from this country.
Would you believe it possible for
this bare-faced fraud to work in
nation of people who can read and
write? Would you believe that as
fine man as Senator Borah would
join this group of Senators?
In 1888 President Roosevelt signed
a bill compelling the u. S. Treasury
to buy all silver produced in this
country at 64l2 cents an ounce. The
price abroad in gold standard coun-
tries was about q cents. The price
in this coutry in our devalued paper
money was about As cents.
They did not STOP here. In 1884
they got through another law, order
ing the Treasury to buy silver from
any place until the amount piled in
the Treasury equalled one-third of
all the gold in the country.
The government began buying, Sc
cretly, unknown amounts. This secret
buying infiamed the spectators. The
price of silver rose dizzily. Accord
ing to the Senators. this was going
to help half the world" 1t was going
to enable poor old China to buy more
from US.
What it actually did was what the
economists had said it would. 1t en-
barrasSed a half dozen nations by
making their small change disap-
pear. And it ruined China AS the
price of silver went up China began
to lose her only money. Prices went
down, trade went sick China begged
this country to stop. The silver inter-
ests said no. They wanted their mis-
cradle subsidy And China gave up
the silver standard.
The last big market for silver is
gone. The silver crowd killed the
goose that laid the silver egg. But
they still have another goose they
are counting on. 1t is the United
States Treasury. They may kill that
goose too before they are done.

CONCERNING THE NEWSPAPER
BUSINESS

The editor of The Citizen, like other
newspaper men, knows that a newspaper
is, more or less, the business of the public.
When it comes to what shall be printed,
what views shall be expressed and what
shall be played up, it is very muchly the
public's business, but when it comes to
paying the freight and keeping the jour
nal operating, it is much less the public in
terest
The only sources of revenue that the
publishers of this; newspaper have come
from selling its advertising space and sub
scriptions to The Citizen 1t is extremely
rare that anybody asks us for a free sub
scrptiOn, but it is an everyday occurrence
when somebody comes in, with request
for free advertising, which they naively
call notice.
The advertising price of this news
paper is fixed at what we believe is a fair
rate. 1t is necessary in order that the
paper may meet its demands. Of course.
we assume that a certain average amount
of space will be sold for this purpose in
each issue, and reyelve the rest of the
paper for news matter, which we print for
our advertisers as well as our readers, be-
cause a newspaper pulls for advertisers
when its reading matter pulls the reader.
Now, we do not intend to convey the
idea that our local advertisers are free
space grafters In almost every instance
where a local man or local organization
has asked for free space they have done so
without understanding exactly what was
involved. What The Citizen does COM
plain about is the lack of interest by the
local merchants and business men to in
crease their business volume and profit by
the universally adopted method of adver-
tlsrg through the press. There is SO much
of the decadent town mental attitude to-
ward advertising chrystallized in the glib
statement that everybody knows me and
my business and when they reed anything
in my line they will come to my place of
business. They forget that advertising
serves several useful purposes; it saves
time, it i a convenience to actual and pros
pective customers, and it is an invitation 10
visit the store for mutual profit Aside
from the purely selfish motive, it also en-
able5 the publisher to produce a better
paper, serving as an additional accom-
mediation to their customers, which the
readers have come to recognize and APP
preciate.
Advertising pays in more ways than
one.

dents who were fooled or bullied into

surrender of the present administra-
ton to these schemers.
And they have ended up by over
