DAINFUL cramping OF the
i 3, muscles Of the legs occur 10
al kinds and ages OF people
under all sorts Of conditions.
Middle aged and elderly peo-
pie experience them while walk
ing The cramps compel the
individual 10 sit down and rest.
After a short time the cramp,
or rather the pain. for II may
exist without actual muscular
spasm, goes away and the walk
can be continued. This condition
is called intermittent limping,
or claudication. and is closely
analogous 10 heart pang or
angina pectoris.
DUT there are many other
ID kinds OF leg cramps. One
kind. far from being brought on
by eXertion. comes on Al night

THESE DAYS
THIS. gentle reader, is the
tala ~ q saod rataIog

THIS. gentle reader, is the
Il tale OF a seed catalog.
It's author is the ancient
American cracker-barrel phil
osopher. the most independent
human being on this earth.
When pot-bellied stoves went
out of fashion and the cracker
barrel made way for shelves of
packaged goods. labeled A and
B. something sound and fine
went out of American life.
Apparently. the author of
"Kelly's Money Saving Field
and Garden Seed Catalog' is a
philosopher. He says Of him
self that he does not
have a board Of directors to
condemn him, nor conform TO
any political party. Who Is
neither rich nor poor. but who
belongs 10 the great middle
class, who has to work for a
living and for As years has been
working from II TO Is hours
per day" Which is as il should
be with independent, ambitious
folks.

IA but you miss something
wholesome IL you fail TO read
his ideas which are of the order
of Benjamin Franklin. For in

year ago.

we start on our 3Sth year In
the seed business. During this
time, we have passed through
two panics, four depressions.

have done business through four
decades, sold 10 four genera

IN THAT little paragraph lies
L the crux of human existence.
Kelly puts his econo ON ! c
Squarely on an arithmetical
basis.
Among the many curses that
beset us these DAYS Is that those
who are supposed to be our ex-
pert economists run away from
simple arithmetic. For instance,
when 2 minus 3 make for pros
perity. something looney has
crept into our thinking.
/ was recently talking to a
couple of students who told me
about a lecturer who explained
that all postwar problems could
be solved by spending more
money and taxing more people
more of their earnings.
The boys were puzzled because
the lecturer failed to explain TO
them how prosperity could in
crease while debt and taxes in
crease.

Kelley answers 1t this way:
"If you are . poor man or
have TO work for some one.
your employer must have some
money In order to giveeyou en-
ployment. In order to carry on
a business of any size, IL takes
considerable l invest n for
every one employed. In order to
give you employment In any
business, there must be invested
large sums Of money ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 per en-
ploye."
THERE are a lot of phoney
Il ideas afoat and what makes
them phoney is that their au-
thors have departed from simple
arithmetic, from the trite for
mula that 2 plus 2 makes 4.

many times again. In mock at
tacks through the woods later
on, many man dashed forward

the first sign OF the enemy"
In woods less dense than you
might find at Belle Isle or
Palmer Park. it's very easy to
move up within a dozen feet of
a man in a foxhole before you
see him.
Concealing yourself is not diff
fcult In most cases. Find a
place where you don't throw a
sharp shadow - stay in the
shadow of something. in other
words. so that your body doesn't
throw a shadow in the shape OF
a man.
Don't wear or carry anything
that shines-belt buckle, rife
fittings. wrist watch.
Most important OF all, don (
move. Movement Is the most
dangerous give-away Of all.
You get the same sort Of
training at night. An enemy

ton, normally. is to flop down
on the ground. but that's

aside from that, don't move.

The poop deck" disappeared

where an officer was always on

Capt Leland P. Lovette. who
had the navy's publicity job be-
fore Admiral Merrill. gives the
history of the poop deck in his
book, Naval Customs, Tradi-
tons and Usage as follows:
The religious zeal of the
Middle Ages was extended to
things maritime. Ships were
named after saints, shrines
were placed aboard and re-
ligious effigies found their way
on figurebesds and In the
elaborate inches In the gilded
stern galleries.
The affairs or shrines were
placed aft In the same location
a. the image affairs of the
Greeks and Romans. The name
poop deck survives the custom.
This name II derived from
the Latin 'puppis.' name the
ancients gave 10 that cere-
monial, sacred. honored deck
where was kept the pupi or doll
images Of the dieties."

fund to stabilize exchange when
you have all these exceptions,
such as the announcement by
the British government that IL

change rate for certain period
after the war;"
Without a seconds hesitation,
Lord Keynes shot back:
