F PRESIDENT C00LID0E can accomplish anything with the
present congress,, he will deserve to go down in history as a politi
cnl Miracle Man. '
For never before has tho congress presented such a muddle of
cross purposes and general futility, as at the beginning of its present
session. , '
Opening with a (lead lock it has taken a week-end recess only to
run into another. Not only has the Farm Bloc, deprived the presi
dent of his nominal majority, but there is every indication that the
administration forces, arc far from a unit behind any constructive
program.
Tho fundamental trouble is that neither house is at all interested
in getting down to business. Every leader, Republican, Democrat,
Farm Woe or what-not, is concerned not with the welfare of the coun
try, but the welfare of his particular political faction.
A Presidenial election is approaching, therefore not what is. good
business, but what is good politics is tho watchword. Although the
administration forces are not immune, from the common complaint,
1 hey are more concerned with constructive accomplishment than their
opponents.
A pitiful minority in themselves, tho Farm Bloc is frankly playing
the dog in the manger role, switching to one side or the other, as sel
fish expediency may determine. With nothing to lose and perhaps
much to gain from a do-nothing congress, the Democrats are appar
ently determined to give tho Republicans the maximum of grief and
the country a minimum of service.
Of course, this is all in the game, from the standpoint of politics.
The misfortune is that the national business must be handled, par
ticularly before every Presidential election, by politicians, rather
1 linn statesmen.

The fear of oratory is the beginning
of wisdom in a democracy, and it 1m
only In a democracy that the orator
flourishes. There are somo few that

the glib and shallow Is far too keen.
The loud voice Is so often mistaken
as tho evldenco of a full mind, tho

VARIETIES OF WORK.
FOR HOURS I racked my careworn dome, attempting to think
up a pome; and racked it all in vain; and to myself I said,
"Meseems I havo exhausted all the themes that are both safe nnd
sane." I wrung my hands and walked the floor and bit large
fragments from the door, my language was a shame; I soaked my
head as though in pain, and tore my hair, but 'all in vain, no inspi
ration came. There is a delegate named John; he came that day
to mow my lawn, and when his task was dune, ho said, "It seems
to me unfair, that you infest an easy chair, while I toil in the sun.
That blamed old mower breaks my back and makes my hinges
groan and crack while pushing to and fro; and while I earn a
rusly plunk you sit around composing junk and draw nine bucks
or so." "It does seem fierce," I sadly said; "no wonder -ou are
seeing red. and ready for a scrap; yet often, as I wateh you sweat,
you look to me like fortune's pet, you seem a lucky chap. We all
have grief and care to burn, for t'other 'a job we weakly yearn, in
moments of despair; and every man will sigh, 'Alas,' though ho
may mow Die luscious grass, or teeter in a chair.
Kellogg's Bran is prepared to

Kellogg's Rran will permanently

title of, today's scolding are' gently,
but firmly remind
ed that I maintain
that no illness
ever comes to
adult or child as a
result of getting
the feet wet; so It
Is extremely lm-
probnble that I
shall attach any
weight to the
companion notion
that dampness in
the air injures
anybody's health,
When 1. say no Illness comes from
wet feet, I mean no illness which
could possibly, be dubbed a "cold"
evon by the most uninformed person.
I freely cpneede frostbite. That Is the
only malady which can be scientltl
cully or only reasonably attributed to
exposure. Discomfort, misery und
suffering are certainly caused by ex
posure, but no disease.
No one has ever been able to ad
duce any scientific evidence that ex
posure in the common sense of the
Wtord, ' hns any bearing upon one's
susceptibility to any particular dis
ease or class of diseases. Many have
attempted to obtain such "evidence;
one or two have evon imagined they
had it, but when nnnlyjied 'the evi
dence hns been found too doubtful or
Irrelevant. On the contrary, : the
weight of such evidence is generally
against the notion that exposure ren
ders one liable to contract coryza or
pneumonfn, say. The general expe
rience of poinr explorers, for instance,
has been that tho bitterest and sever
est kind of- exposure brought none of
the Illnesses which most people would
expect.
To return to the temperate zone
tho air really is heavily laden with
moisture these days nnd there is peril
In it for us nil. One Is likely to
catch almost anything from It. There
aro 20 or more diseases which are
usually contracted through exposure
to the moisture in tho air. I have
listed thorn here now and again ns
respiratory infections, such as cory
za, measles, pneumonia, -diphtheria
and Influenza, to nnmo a few ex
amples. Tho moisture I refer to is In the
form of a spray of invisibly fine drop
lets' of the secretions-or excretions of
the nose, throat or breathing pas
sages, t shot out from the ' nose or-
mouth of a talking person to a dis
tance of four feet Just far enough to
get you In an Intimate conversation.
If the person Is so unaware or 1m
polito vto cough or sneeze without
covering his nose and mouth with
handkerchief, mask or hartd, then the
spray will reach a target 10 feet
away, far enough to get the Innocent
bystander or unsuspecting passerby.
Suspended in the minute droplets
of this moisture are microscopic sam
ples of whatever respiratory Infection
tho nuthor and maker of the spray
hnpiHMia to bo coming down with; It is
before lie calls tho doctor, while ho Is
perhaps. 'still trying to "fight It off"
In the incipient or invasion stage of
tho illness, that the respiratory Infec
tions - lire most' communicable, the
stage when the Illness or Indisposition
mnsiiuerados ns "an ordinary cold,"
tho stage when a child is permitted,
nny, bulldozed Into remaining in
school, peppering other children with
measules, Scarlet fever, diphtheria or
whatevor the infection may be, the
stage when the average human being
persists In remaining at work, dis
tributing his infection to all who
como within his spray range.
It is to prevent the passing of this
spray, either way, that the gauzo or
cheesecloth mask should be worn. If
the mask covers tho nose and the
mouth and has not less than 10 layers
of fine cheesecloth or gauze, made
with 32 threads to tho inch, it will
effectively stop .tho spread of respir
raipiy infections, .
Ql'ESTIONS AND AXSWFUS.
Broken Blood Vessel.'
I have a broken blood vessel on the
right side of my face, about one inch
from the nose. It has been there
about two years. Kindly advise what
can be done for It, and whether it Is
iikel to develop into' anything
rious. Mrs. B. J.
Answer Assuming it Is a dilated
venule, such as muny persona havo
about tho checks or nasal wings,
probably It can be obliterated by
treatment by a competent skin suec
lalist either with radium or electroly
sis or other surgical means. It Is not
likely to become serious.
Tuberculosis In the House.
Js tuberculosis contairiniiR? T It
dangerous to live In the same houso
with a porson who has It? Is it dan
gerous to cut at tho same table?
J. J. 8.
Answer No; it Is not contaeinus
there la no danger. In living in the
same house or cutlng nt the same
table with a peraon who has It, unless
this Is a constant or habitual Intimate
association with tho person who has
It ana that person is unaware or care
less. Tuberculosis is Infectious; com'
niunlenblo under special elrouhr
stances, but not contagious. There' Is
no danger In living near or In the
same house or eating at the Rome
table with one who has tuberculosis
for If infection could occur that way
we'd all have it. Prolonged intimate
association, as between parent and
cnim, nusbnnd and wife; lovers, mils.-
or working partners, is necessary for
a tuberculosis' person
working In a dniry or handling milk
or other- food which may' be con
sumed " without pooklng is a far
greater menace to the public than a
reasonably intelligent, and cleanly pa
tient Is to others' In the house or to
others at the same dining table. The
best' students of tuberculosis now be
lieve that the disease Is quite fre
quently spread through some such
food contamination. Huch fear as you
volee in your questions are wide
spread. They were Inspired, no doubt,
by tho unwisely conducted campaign
of popular education about the "great
white plague" 20 years ago. "
' Heart KxercCsc.
In a recent Issue you spoke favor
ably of exercise for the heart. Please
tell uie the kind you would suggest.
Physicians pay I have no organlc
trouble, but my pulse beats faster
than normal. R. D. A.
Answer I didn't mean to intimate
that nny particular exercise is appli
cable, but 'only thnt Such exercise as
your physician may ' prescribe ac
cording to tho requirements of your
case is one of the most Important
remedial measures in, the treatment
of heart disease. In many cases there
Is a stage when no cxerclso may bo
taken, but latort. perhaps, a stage
when graduated doses of exorcise may
do great good. ...... j
