Digging Out From Under

X householders have to "dig
legislative session in tne History, of the state has brought a
"heavy snow" of new laws. It will take the people weeks
to dig out from under, weeks even to ascertain what the
new laws are. Much has been written about the big items
j)f legislation, the sales tax, the motor license fees, the
truck and bus regulatory measure. Along with such major
laws has come a whole raft of minor bills, amendments of
existing laws, fresh laws adding new controls to competitive
groups. Many of these the public will never hear about un
til they get nicked with some of these statutory provisions.
We will not here attempt any review of the laws. It will
take some days before the compilation is complete enough to
make specific comments with the accuracy required.
It is fitting however to offer words of commendation of
the legislature. It met the problems of the state and offered
constructive solutions for those most pressing. It abstained
from radicalism which might have been feared, judging from
the temper of some of the members. On moral questions
the legislature was retrogressive, only the hold-overs in the
, senate acting as bulwark to protect measures conserving
public morals.
The protracted session, with many critical and serious
questions, progressed with remarkable smoothness. Rarely
were tempers ruffled. Presiding officers won praise for the
fairness and dispatch which they exercised. Members en
deavored to' legislate for the public interest, and though
there are many decisions which we may not agree with
personally, we feel that members displayed careful conscien
tiousness and devotion to state welfare.
Undoubtedly criticisms will arise here and there over
what the legislature did and what it did not do. Some of
them may be justified; others may only be the habitual yap
ping at legislative bodies accompanied by the conventional
shake of the head as though the world was headed fast for
the bow-wows. The legislators worked long overtime, at
their own expense, in order to finish up the necessary la
bors. The general verdict of the state, subject to modifica
tion after further study of the "snowfall" of new laws, may
well be : "Well done, good and faithful servants".
President Speaks for Economy
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S short, crisp message to the
congress on the necessity of national economy is timely
and should receive enthusiastic approval of the masses of the
American people The federal expense has grown like Jon
ah's gourd. As the president plainly said "for three long
years the federal government has been on the road toward
bankruptcy." He further points out the simple truth that
the whole credit structure rests on the stability of the na
tional credit. When the latter is impaired the former cannot
stand.
Roosevelt has read the lesson of history regarding the
-weakness of democratic governments owing to failure to
provide sufficient revenues to meet the popular demand for
expenditures. As he says :
"Too often in recent history, liberal governments have been
wrecked on rocks of loose fiscal policy. W must avoid this dan
ger." Finally Pres. Roosevelt recommends, not a boosting of
taxes or a levy of fresh taxes (although that may become
necessary). He asks for authority to reduce the outgo of
the federal government. In view of the clash of interests in
congress the chance of getting such economy by congression
al legislation is very doubtful. Distasteful as it is to the
American people to vest such great powers in the hands of
one man, such is the emergency that it seems a present nec
essity. Veterans' organizations, we note, are becoming active
against this grant of power for fear that their share in the
government outlay may be reduced. It will have to be re
duced. With national bankruptcy just round the corner the
plain mathematics of the treasury makes it mandatory to
reduce the billion dollars which now goes to veterans' relief.
A few bold, constructive strokes by Pres. Roosevelt, if
properly supported by the congress, will do more to restore
public confidence and get the wheels of business turning
again than all the pep and cheer propaganda that may be
printed.
Public Order
THE foundation of public order is the attitude of the pub
lic For a nation whose citizens glory in their sense of
personal freedom, the American people show remarkable
self-control when times of crisis arise. There have been few
such in the century and a half of the nation's existence; but
many of them have been acute. Each time the sober thought
of the people has been manifested and disorder has been
avoided.
In past months there have been waves of unrest among
men out of work, but usually this spent itself in parades
with flaming banners. There has been virtually no rioting,
not so much as in' some previous depressions.
At the present time a remarkable restraint is percep
tible. The people go about their daily affairs as usual. They
are cheerful, even humorous about it all; and universally
optimistic They look for swift setting of things to rights
and have a great confidence in the ability of Pres. Roose
velt to get things in order.
It is a proof to the discipline and self-control of our
people.

HEALTH
By Royal S. Copeland, MJ).
KECENTLiT l addressed a group
of mothers interested ia hygiene and
the simple rules of health. One of
the questions asked me was. "What
Is a good dlstn-
fsctantr
I know of many
useful chemical
agents, but I can
think of no bet
t e r method e f
disinfection than
the liberal use of
warm water and
soap. Disinfect
ants and antisep
tics are of value
when applied to
furniture, walla
and bedding, but
few of them can
be osed on the
Dr. Copeland
skin because of
the Irritation they produce. Of course
this is a general statement and your
doctor will advise you as to the
choice of a safe disinfectant.
When using a soap, bear in mind
that a pure, nonlrrttatlng soap Is
best Pure soap used with warm
water keeps the pores of the skin
clean and permits the normal excre
tion of sweat and poisonous waste
products.
Of course plenty of "elbow grease"
is necessary In applying the soap and
water. Vigorous scrubbing Is usefuL
Warm water Is preferable. It dis
solves dirt and grease more readily
than cold water.
Persons afflicted with acne or other
skin disturbance are often misled in
their choice of a suitable soap. Cas
tile soap Is excellent. It Is made
from pure olive oil, does not contain
added fat and Is nonlrritatlng. Medi
cated soaps have a pleasant odor, but
some of them may prove irritating la
certain skin disorders.
Keep the Hands Clean
X cannot overemphasize the impor
tance of keeping the hands clean. It
la a recognized fact that the hands
are the most common agents for
spreading the germs of disease. Chil
dren often contract childhood diseases
because of soiled hands. Common
eating and toilet utensils, door knobs,
chairs, tables and other objects are
laden with many varieties of danger
ous germs. Since It is Impossible to
keep these objects constantly clean,
ft Is necessary that the hands be fre
quently and thoroughly washed with
a good, pure soap and warm water.
Some time ago I pointed out to you
the danger that lurks in the family
towel. Although most persons are
careful about the towels they use,
there are some who are amazingly
careless. It Is always a good plan
to use the Individual toweL
Wash the hands with soap and
water before each meaL If you han
dle soiled objects be sure to wash
your hands immediately. Children
should be encouraged to wash their
hands whenever they are soiled and
always before eating.
A good way to encourage this
health habit is to offer prizes for
dean hands. Once a child acquires
the habit of cleanliness, he will carry
it with falm throughout life.
In addition to the hygiene of the
bands, daily bathing of the body Is
an aid to good health. The skin
throws off many poisonous sub
stances dissolved in the body sweat
Ia this way the skin aids the kidneys
and Intestines in ridding the body of
undesirable waste products.
Dally bathing keeps tba skin In a
healthy condition and aids In proper
elimination of poison. A warm bath
before bed time Is soothing as weU
as cleansing. Insomnia Is often over
come by this simple procedure.

(Continuing from yesterday:)
"I left half a doien heads huddled
together over that personal, read
ing and rereading it. Of coarse,
they must hang the man; but as
I, their cook, was already half
dead, what could they doT Why
not one of them go and got the
woman?
"They took the terrified, half
dead and helpless convict over to
dinner and asked him all sorts of
questions. No, the woman was not
a bad woman, only not pretty.
That was the only fault he could
bo persuaded to admit. So it was
settled that Long Dan, or Daniel
Long, as he was afterwards
known, set out to bring her, if he
could. Wo could build her a cabin.
The wretched man with his grave
only half dug had been told that
if his story about the woman was
true and Dan could bring her, he
would hare to help her cook. He
meekly agreed that he would pre
fer this to being hung.
"I can now see- that they had
no intention of hanging the man
at all. They set him to filling up
his grave and to cutting cabin
logs close by so that they could
throw up a cabin.

" 'For a woman she can do more
with a man
Than a king and his whole

"And then the preacher asked
me to make the song with that
chorus at the end of each Terse;
to show the woman how truly im
portant she must be in a camp of
so many men and not one single
woman! And this was my first of
fense lu the line of song.
"I did not know anything at all
about poetry, but I was full of the
Bible and Bible themes, so I first
took up Sampson:
" 'Now, Sampson he was a mighty
strong man,
A mighty strong man was he;
But he lost his hair and he lost
his eyes,
And also his liber-tee!
For a woman she can do more
with a man
Than a king and his whole

"Then I took up Daniel in the
lion's dea; then I took up David
and Uriati's wife, and so on. Then
I concluded with the following
lines about that wisest of all
men:
" 'Now. Solomon he was a mighty
wise man,
A mighty wise man was he;
Aye, Solomon he had 700 wives.
And also a dyspep-see.
For a woman she can do more
with a man
Than a king and his whole
arm-ee!'

chorus as the 27 men, led by the
preacher and the man wo didn't

For weeks BoxaU had been clank

of the look of the half -starved mon
grel about him. He was hungry,
and he got to work.
His bavin? reached even frn thm
seats of the gods. Mrs. Ursula
Brandon had not seen the "Wan
nington Clarion" twice in ten years.
Mere momentary curiosity made
her open a copy that had arrived
by yost and got itself included
among the letters on the breakfast
table. Young Aubrey had gone to
the man I had seen in the trail as
1 came to town.
"This man Ream was one of

He is, and has ever been, tho king

him to the federal senate; but he
protested that ho did not want to
go to any place where he could
not seo Mt. Shasta."
As the reader perhaps recalls,
the date of the volume quoted
was 109. There is a footnote in
these words: "Dr. Ream has pass

ton, and Ursula Brandon was alone.
-There vers crosses ia Was pen
cil slashed om the front sheet of
tho paper; also the words, "So
page i." She unfolded the paper,
found two eohrsans marked with red
Ink, and headed. "Public Spirit and
Publio Health."
For Ursula Brandon tho "Wan-
nisgtoa Clarion" had always stood
beyond the pale of decency. It was
tho mouthpiece of a class that she
regarded with frank, full-faced,
casual scorn. It suggested Dickens
at his cheapest to those who pre?
f erred Thackeray at bis best. The
Mieawbers and the SUgginses be
longed to it Nor was there any
doubt about Tho Clarion's" sneer
ing offensiveness. It was a narrow
organ advocating noble alma. It
flaunted the most horrible of com
binationsvenom and piety.
But this particular article sur
prised her into anger. Woman of
tho world that ahe was, mere inso
lence could not disturb her poise.
But this was different. The stuff
had restraint, intensity, a certain
grim humour. It did not run about
like a rabid dog. The characteristic
slaver -was absent
She pushed the paper away after
reading the article right through.
"I wonder who sent this? And I
wonder who wrote those para
graphs T They are perfectly scan
dalous."
- But were they scandalous?
She refilled her teacup, and sat
looking through the mullioned win
dow at the November sunlight play
ing upon the green boughs of the
cedars. These trees were perfect,
utterly satisfying in their stateli-
nesa, and stateliness was part of
Ursula Brandon's nature. She
loathed such vulgar crudities as the
"Wannington Clarion," and her
loathing was justified. But this a
tide I BoxsH could never have pro
duced it The thing was like Emer
son put up to preach in some mean-
souled chapel.
"I believe that man Wolfe wrote
it"
Tho thought surprised her ia a
new attitude. She was still angry,
but there was no contempt ia her
anger.
"I must look into this. Crump
had better come up and see me."
But this affair of the "Wanning
ton Clarioa" was to be hustled mo
mentarily out of her mind. Stand
ing at the window later in the
morning, she saw Whitehead, the
groom, come cantering up the
drive. The man's face had a scared
look. He had beea sent owl ia
charge of Aubrey.
Ursula Brandon went out into the
porch.
"What Is It, Whitehead?"
The groom dismounted. His eyes
were afraid of Mrs. Brandon, and
his chalky face glistened with
clammy distress.
"It's Mr. Aubrey, ma'am. He's
had a faU, ma'am."
"Is ft bad?"
"A broken leg;, ma'am. Fm fesr-

She drew a quick breath, a re
flux of relief after an instant of
suspense.
"How did it happen?"
The man looked ready to snivel.
" Twerent my fault ma'am. Mr.

nify what I said. I tried to catch
