" The condemnation is warranted, no doubt, but who is to blame? I'nless our information is incorrect, farmers of the Middlewest, who passed this resolution are to blame for the condition they condemn. For farmers votes were responsible for the Farm Bloc. Farmers' votes sent Ilenrik Shipstead and Magnus Johnson to the senate, from .Minnesota; they sent Smith Brookhart to the senate from Iowa; they sent Lynn J. i rustier -to the senate from .North Dakota, and in large rnoHHiire, they sent La Follette to the senate from "Wisconsin. The farmers didn't elect these men, because of their business abil ity. ,Xot one of them, with the possible exception of La Follette, coub (inalify as a business man of demonstrated capacity. Shipstead, John son, Brookhart, et a!., were, in a sense, elected because they were not business men, because they opposed those principles generally ae cepted as good business principles, because they were "agin" the government, because they could talk louder and say less, promise more and deliver less than any of their opponents. Now the farmers are condemning the congressional mess, which they created. They condemn unbusinesslike methods. 'But appar ently they do not condemn the class prejudice tirades, the Farm Bloc creators ure delivering against the Mellon plan of tax reduction, which is generally conceded to be by all world experts, regardless of party, we might quote the democratic N. Y. World on this, as the most businesslike financial plan produced in Wasiiington in a decade. ihey criticize congress tor doing nothing. Why has congress done nothing? Almost solely because the Farm Bloc, assisted by the Democrats, have allowed it to do nothing. . We think if the farmers of the Middlewest would go. home, and think the matter over a bit, they would decide to keep still hereafter about the unbusinesslike methods of our "Do-Nothing-Congress." For as a matter of cold fact, the farmers of the Middlewest do not want business methods in congress, for they absolutely refuse, or did refuse, to elect business men to public office. They want politicians and demagogues, and vociferous champions of the common "peepull " in congress, meif who are efficient in tearin things down, but haven't the faintest idea, even if they succeeded, as to how to build them up. No sympathy need be wasted over the Middlewest fa liners in this direction. In an inefficient "do-nothing Congress" they are merely reaping the harvest they, themselves, sowed.

The Iron Hat Ion The noted nutrition authority Von Xoorden, a strong advocate of liberal U80 of meat In the adult dietary, teach es a d i f f ere n t policy in the nutri tion of the child. He writes: "The neces- ines physicians generally advocate. But It isn't so. The idea I am urging here Is the present knowledge and be lief of tho scientific element of the medical profession. The superiority of natural foods over any kind" of iron .containing medicine has been sity of a generous Quite definitely established by actual supply of vegetables 1 scientific tests, whatever may have and fruits must,beDeen tne former theories of medical particularly empha- men or the traditional teachings of sized.

As far as children are con cerned we believe we could do better by following the dietary of the most riKid vegetarians than by feeding chil dren as tho they were carnlvora, ac cording to the bad custom which is still quite prevalent. ... If we limit the most important sources of Iron the vegetables and the fruits wo cause a certain sluggishness of blood formation and an entire lack of re serve iron, such as is normally found in the liver, spleen and bone marrow of heulthy, well nourished individu als." As a matter of fact, any one of the following Items, taken ounce for uun QVKKTIONS AXD ANSWERS Vitamins Everywhere Do you approve of the use of . . . to supply vitamins? I have been told that there Is a lack of vitamins In our food and that this product will supply the deficiency. (Mrs. L. E.) Answer. No. Plenty of vitamins in fresh milk, fresh eggs, fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. Dry IilpH For three years I have been trou bled with dryness of the Hps and I am constantly licking them. The only time my lips are moist enough so that I can speak easily Is right after I eat. or pound for pound, furnishes What can I'do? (D. S. J.) more iron to tho body than does lean Answer. You would mako a whale beef or any other meat: Entire wheat, of a success as an after dinner speak almonds, egg yelk, oatmeal, dried .er. That's the very time my lips get beans, green peas or dried peas, prunes, spinach. Other foods which if not as rich In Iron as those named, are of nearly the same value prac tically in the diet, are: String beans, lettuce, apples, figs, pineapples, straw berries, huckleberrioH, walnuts, cocoa nuts, peanuts, oranges, bananas, pota toes, carrots, beets, beet greens, as paragus, onions, pumpkin pie, toma toes, celery, rhubarb, endives, kohl rabi, mushrooms, lentils and arti- hokes. Nearly anything green and edible contains food Irn in the most readily assimilable form. Probably the- most futile American ndoor pastimo is the taking of medi cine containing Iron which purports to build blood, for no medicine can possibly compare with natural foods, such as I have just named In the building of blood. The human body re quires and uses considerable carbon for the business of growth, building, fuel and repairs, and gets this carbon 'mm almost any kind of food. It may occur to the thoughtful ren'der that this . ts another of my infer notions -I seem to take partic ular pleasure In - entertaining notions contradictory to.vhat'tHo laity i mag- so dry I can scarcely speak. For such a condition the lips should be kept greased with a well made ointment of sulphur, 10 grains to the ounce, using freshly prepared ointment of rose water for the base. This should be applied especially at night. Just Plain Cod Ijlver OH . . . have been unable to find any where the crude cod liver oil which you suggested for long drawn out paranasal sinus infection. No drug store seems to have it. (V. C. O.) Onswer. Cod liver oil conforming to the requirements of the Pharma copeia will do. Any drug store can supply that. I merely wished to em phasize tho superiority of the undoc tored, unsophlstlcate'd product as a source of vitamins. ItaWiltio Itosary The infant welfare nurse says our baby has a "rosary," a symptom of rickets. She prescribed cod liver oil. Would you advise us to go to our reg ular doctor or Is it safe to let the welfare people treat the baby? (M. M. W.) Answer. Better by all means have your regular doctor take care of the baby.) THE GREATEST THING IN THE WORLD by Laurel Grur It's rather kind of Mother Nature to have hidden our hearts inside our bosoms bo that the world might not see those hearts as they really are. Dear me, what world of scarred and battle-torn obJe ctt s Ithey would be. Talk about the tat tered banners of the Marne! It is a good thing also that Mother Na ture has fixed our faces, mean ing the well known human countenance, so that the curious herd which jostles us und. stares into our eyes, may not see the , secret pangs which are burled deep; deep down In the said beating ,. hearts. We are brave fellows, we men and women, rjullant gentlemen and ladies all. When love has given us an ugly turn, we may turn upon the cold and cal lous world a laughing lip and a dim pled grin, and shout for more fun, more gaiety,1 more laughter and more play. What good would it do to tear open tho chest-wall and expose to the harsh light of day, the poor, pitiful little heart that, is so torn with the love that has gone or, worse still maybe, the love that was wanted, oh .so hard, and which never, never came? Strike up the hand. Three fliews... Hooray and make It loud, so that the gossips may not hear yon Jill sob, or yon sad Jack gulp his hcart-brenk free. - - , If Kidneys Act Bad Take Salts Saya Backache Often Means You Have Not Been Drinking Enough Water Look out fcr tir follor who says money liaiil't over'thlllR.

The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or, three times during the night. Either consult a good, reliable physi cian at once or get from your pharma cist about four ounces orf Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with, Uthia, and has been used for years to help clean and stimulate sluggish kid neys, also to neutrnlize acids in the system, so they no longer irritate, thus often relieving bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, can not in jure and makes a delightful, efferves cent lithia-water drink. Drink lots of soft water. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year. , - ...
