Tn trSiTsWl !sta T eTI I tDltOKJAtlTl ASSOCIATION ' HEARST BALDERDASH. 1TEBSTER defines balderdash as a foolish or pompus jumble of words; sometimes jargon or prate. The suggestion made by William Randolph Hearst that the federal government immediately appropri ate five billions of dollars to be ex pended amongst the four or five million unemployed of the country, appeals to those who are capable of a bit of serious thought, as pure balderdash. To the spotlighters it was just another opportunity to get before the public. Many of these fell upon the idea and endorsed it. They got their names in the press of the country. It was just another chance to ballyhoo; to prate. The scheme reminds us of the story of the old timer in Utah who saw a great opportunity to get rich through raising cats. A lake on his place was stocked with nsh. He would feed the cats these fish. Soon he found out he had to feed the fish something and he began to feed the fish the cats. So the fish ate the cats and the cats ate the fish. The money to be derived for Mr. Hearst's scheme must come out of taxes. The taxes must be paid by the people deriving the benefit. Where would we be going? Maybe Hearst can explain. Already the government exche quer is being drained beyond in come. Secretary Mellon and Pres ident Hoover have sounded warn ing after warning. The president has demanded a curtailment in ex penditures along the less essential lines, so that larger appropriations can be had for agriculture and oth er absolutely necessary things; but Hearst and his fellow spotlighters would throw the government into further debt, and for what reason? Simply to boost Mr. Hearst as the friend of the laboring man. A great thinker once wrote: "Tell the truth to the people . . . before you assert that they can appreciate nothing in argument but fallacies. and nothing in language but bal derdash." Hearst should know this. Looks as though Hearst and his ballyhooing crowd would pay the government's overdraft with a gov ernment check. W. C. T. U. NOTES. MARY A. NOTSON, Reporter. In a recent syndicated article by Arthur Sears Henning, publsihed In a number of the large dailies of the country, the question of taxes was elaboraetly discussed. The headlines indicated that the coun- trv is hrpnlfinp" imrlpr thf hlirtien of taxes. It is pointed out that taxes have increased since the open- ing of the World war fourfold, while the population of the United States has increased only 25 per cent The annual income of the peple of the United States has in creased only 135 percent in the Sunday Schoo no Lesson gb International Sunday School Lesson for Jane SI CAUSING OTHEBS TO STUMBLE. Romans 14:13-23. The Minneapolis Times said on March 2, "Prohibition has come to the froefront as the leading nation al Issue." This was the opinion af ter a poll had been taken. Admin istration of Justice was second on the list. Thus in giving attention to the quarterly temperance lesson you are but in harmony with the popular study of the day. Paul was writing to the Romans from Corinth and took his Illustra tion from things that were taking place in that city. Animals were killed and certain parts only of fered to idols In worship. The rest was meat absolutely good for food. Many Christians objected to eating meat which had first been offered to idols. The Apostle says that re spect should be paid to personal opinion and a thing omitted for the sake of the good in another which might not be any harm in Itself, lie gave as a good reason for such conduct: "For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but right eousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit." The question about how much we will give up for the sake fo asother centers around the consideration of how much we real ly love our follow man and desire his greatest good. In the case of the beverage, use of liquor, the matter is decided dif ferently, for alcohol Is always poi son. History does not contain a paragraph that credits intoxicating liquor with a single achievement that has benefitted mankind. same period. These facts are startling. I He goes into detail to show how the bonded indebtedness has in creased owing to the war. He points out, also, how the people have gone in debt to build good roads, to erect better school build ings, and to make other public improvements. He shows, too, how much more we are spending upon the schools for maintenance. He draws the conclusion that to main tain the federal, state, county, and city governments the people are paying out about one dollar in six of their income. Then he comes to the real mo tive of the article. He complains that the federal government is spending forty million dollars to enforce prohibition and that the states are spending a lot of money for the same purpose. He says that, according to the estimates of ex perts," the federal government is losing annually in revenue from liquor $886,000,000, and that the states and local governments are losing $50,000,000, making a loss in revenue of nearly one billion dol lars. And one would think from the tone of the article that the wri- ter was shedding great floods of tears over the condition of the poor taxpayer. No question exists in the minds of anyone as to the burden of taxes. but of all the absurd and rotten arguments put forth to point the way to tax relief this one stands at the top of the list Who pays the enormous taxes to support the dif ferent units of government now? Anyone who knows the least thing about the principles of elementary economics knows that all taxes are drawn from productive industry in the final analysis. The producers pay all the bills. The old and well known advertisement stated that "Jones pays the freight," and this became a common saying. Jones pays the freight provided he is a producer. Jones pays the taxes if he is a producer. It would not re lieve the producers at all if one billion dollars were taken from them through the medium of liquor taxes and licenses, but it would re lieve the millionaires from part of their income taxes. And it is the millionaire "wets" who are financ ing the campaign against prohibi tion. Think of collecting one bil lion dollars a year from the poor unfortunates who have an appetite for liquor! Think of the poor wives of these unfortunates who would return to the wash-tub to support the family! Think of the little chil dren who would go hungry and poorly clothed because their fathers would be paying the taxes in the prices paid for liquor! Intelligent people will not be deceived by this kind of tax relief argument. COST OF REARING CHILD IS LARGE Food, Clothing, Shelter Claim Ma jor Expenditure; Enormous Sum Lost Through Disease. (From State Board of Health) The child of today must be thought of in economic terms, the editor finds in making a study of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company charts. A man has much in common with machines, build ings, factories, and other industrial equipment of which he makes use in the business of living. Like them, he has "construction cost" during childhood while he is being pre pared for service. The cost of be ing born, of food, shelter, clothing, health and recreation, education- these are some of the expenses which must be considered as part of the "construction" of the human machine making it ready for the period at which it is expected to be a producer. If the average family income In cne united states is close to ,ouu, as charted, then the following table Bels Iorul startling ngures. 1. Cost of being born $ 250.00 2. Food 2,500.00 3. Clothing and shelter 3,400,00 4. Education (minor items met by individual fam ily purse 5. Health 50.00 284.00 130.00 54.00 570.00 6. Recreation 7. Insurance . 8. Sundries Total $7,238.00 The above figures do not appear to include the very important ma jor item of education. As a matter of fact, they do, because, under the heading of "shelter," there is al ready included the item of taxes which covers the parent's share of the community cost of education, as well as other items furnished by the state. While the sources of material wealth are carefully guarded, hu man resources are often carelessly used and wastefully squandered. It is a time-honored adage that health is not appreciated until it is lost. Just how much health is worth can now be estimated in dollars and cents. The average American loses seven days a year through sickness. Losses from sickness and prevent able deaths are enormous. More than $6,000,000,000 could be saved annually by applying what is known about modern preventive medicine and public health. This great sum represents the value of the lives lost through preventable deaths. The basis of the value of human life must naturally be health without health, earnings usually drop. It is when the bread-winner of a family is removed through ac cident or disease and the mother and young children must become self-supporting that, first the de pendents, and later the community, realize the large capital value which has been lost Leo Gorger and brother were vis itors in the city on Saturday. The Gorger brothers farm a large body of land out north of lone, and they expect to make an average yield of 15 bushels per acre. Their grain is now about ready for cutting. Looks Like a Good Garden TIME Sjr JOHN JOSEPH GAINESM-D. "Simple" Laryngitis By this term, I mean the sort of "hoarseness" that has no chronic, tubercular, or other complicated na ture. Its cause is, sudden exposure to extremes of temperature, or over use of the vocal organs in an im proper manner. Clergymen get it frequently, and amateur vocalists; children with adenoids, large ton sils and those who breathe thru the mouth, from nasal or other respiratory infection. The onset of simple laryngitis is usually sudden; its duration de pends upon the treatment employed. When, in the case of singers, hoarseness and husky voice ap pears, REST is the treatment; per fect silence, if it can be enforced, may be maintained from 24 to 48 hours and will produce wonderful results. Simple gargling with warm water containing a mild antiseptic such as boric acid, is good home treatment. "Croup," now seldom heard of, is laryngitis in the simple form.

The simple laryngitis of child hood may or may not disable the youngster. The hoarseness pre cedes the loud, barking cough. The attack may be cured in two, or three days, by attention to the bow els and hygiene of the child; min ute doses of good cough remedy helps to dismiss the annoying cough; I employ one with a little syrup of ipecac, to secure relaxa tion of the skin and to favor sweat ing; of course the little patient is kept in an even temperature until he is well; and his play outdoors should be undertaken gradually, until he is well used to the pure out-door air.

Roll and cut in half-inch slices and bake in a quick oven. Left-Over Pork Cut the pork into small dice. For a pound of it you will need two medium sized onions finely chopped, two apples coarsely chopped, four level tablespoons of butter, a scant tablespoon of flour, a teaspoon of lemon juice, a cup of stock which may be made from gravy or a beef cube a little dry mustard and salt and pepper. Melt the butter iii a stewpan and add the onions and fry until tender and slightly browned. Add the apple and fry unitl tender but not broken. Sprinkle in the flour and a small pinch of mustard, stir and let cook very gently for a few minutes and then add the stock and stir while it cooks for four or five minutes. Add the meat, lemon juice and salt, mustard and pepper to taste. Let it heat thoroughly and serve with mashed potatoes or rice. ALPINE. MARGARET McDAID.
