seems that the federal body of

through her politiciunH, doHired to
get firm whack at the spondulicks,
and take the cream thereof. Mr.
Liegge, who In civil lifo received
$100,000 per year for thinking fast,
qulokly penetrated the scheme of
the Kansas politicians, and spake
picturesquely and emphatically, in
suiting 1,860,000 Kansas farmers,
and peanut politicians all over the
nation, at one swoop . .

WHAT'S 'BMATTER
IT'S easy to criticise. It's easy to tear down. The man who
rises on a soap box ami calls everyone but himself a crook,
damns the government and all its works and, with fire in his
eye, fans the flames of irc.judiee and discontent, is certain of an
audience. At a time like this, when there is widespread unrest,
if he happens to lie a candidate for office, he is certain of n
nunilier of votes.
(iovernor lied' of Kansas, candidate for re-elect inn, is now
i following t lii.s faimiiar demagogic
wrniiir in the wnrxl t,f worlds.
ot Kansas are starving, thanks
yen, and Alt'Ximtlt'r liCKtre of tlie ilutmtnili(t I'linn board, with
liis iicl'iiritnw Hiiliciiit! of co-operation hik! reduction of wheat
uereiiifc, in responsible. "Vote for me, lurii the rascals out
and enjoy the milleiiinin," says Governor Heed, or words to that
effect.
It's n fairly aafc bet that, with wheat at ils present price,
the farmers of Kansas will follow his advice. But, asHiimiiiu; his
election, his future course is not so clear.
' Fow will Governor TOed raise the price of wheat, and briny
prosperity to the fanner? Jle fails to say.
Naturally. Why bother with constructive criticism, when
destructive criticism serves so much better, ami retpiires so
111 null less thought and effort!
Why worry about what will bring prosperity to the Kansas
farmer if Governor Reed can convince them Mr. Lej-'fte with his
farm relief program is what took it away?
In fact, it is a pretty safe assumption that only one thint; is
worrying Governor Rued: namely, that someone will put a ques
tion to him lie can't evade, phrased somewhat 11s follows:
"If the Reimlillcnn rtdmliilHtratlon, with Its program ot co-operative
marketing; and itd'euRO curtailment, is respuiillila tor the
present low agricultural depression, how do yon explain the pres
ent low price of wheat? Kor certainly the wheat furmers of Kun- -nan
have not organized co-operatively, nor have they, or the furm
ers anywhere else, curluiletl their acreage ol wheat. Can uuy
program thut hutt not been tried bo reHpotiBlble for a condition
thut already exists?"
It would be interesting to hear Governor Recti's answer to
that question. The situation reminds one of that old story about
the village pastor who on a Sunday, afternoon -stroll caught
some boys fishing in the creek.
"It's very wicked to fish on Sunday," quoth the pastor.
"Who's fishing?" retorted one of the boys"; haven't had a
bite all day."
The farm relief measure may be as wicked as Governor Reed
maintains. Hut neither he nor anyone else can KNOW it is
wicked or know it is fiit.il!-t mitil it has at least been tried.
It hasn't been tried, and if Governor Reed has his way it
never will be tried, and yet with n perfectly straight face he
maintains it is responsible for the lowest wheat price in JO years.

I am a girl of 17 and in the best
of health. I work from 2:30 to
11 p. m. as telegraph operator. Is
there any harm In eating a hot
.meal when I get home at night,
and then going to bed shortly after
wurd? Sometimes after 1 eat I
have cramps In my stomach for a
short time. Is this from late eat
in,?? K. a:
Answer. Sure, you ought to
have one good warm (not hot)
meal when you get through work,
and it is perfectly physiological
and healthful to hit the corn hunks
as soon after dinner us you like.
Perhaps the cramps are due to
ha-sty eating. .. Take your time,
chew your bread and ' taters and
such things well, let ma do moat
of the -talking) while you eat, and
avoid washing down mouthfuls
with water, milk ur other bever
age. Eat when you eat and drink
when you drink. Jt ought not be
permitted for n girl to work after
10 o'clock at night.
Thank You, Ma'am.
I am an old lady 75 and read
your daily column always. ,I was
delighted by your answer about
shingles. 1 bad that, and could
never learn what caused it, and
your answer explains it fully. When
first taken I consulted a doctor,
who gave me some medicine and
dismissed me. Three days later I
was removed toibe hospital, where
I suffered severely. I had been
frightened ever since, until your
advice did mo so much good and
reassured me ... It is a godsend 1
to us poor people to know there is
a doctor in whom we cart confide
and trust. Mrs. C. B. J.
Answer. And It makes me very
happy to know that poor people,
us well as those not so poor, do
confide In me, and thut I do some
times give them some comfort of
mind if not of body. Perhaps the
element of anxiety about the out
come "is greater facior In an !
attack of herpes zoster ("shin-1
gles") than we doctors think. I
can only'assure people that whi!e
while shingles Is in some cases an.
atrociously painful affliction, a
.complete recovery is the invariable
rule where the pain Is properly
dealt with, by your physician, of
course. There is no rhyme or rea-,

THE If ACE
(By Mary Graham Bonner)
The Little Black Clock with his
wonderful magic had turned . the
time back 101 years on the day of
their last adven
ture, and now he
told' John and
Peggy , as they
came for him,
that he was turn
ing it ahead one
year from the
time before.
Thnt meant
that the time was
really back, , i00 .
years.
Every evening
the Little Black '
Clock met John and Peggy and
took them off on adventures. Dur
ing the daytime he stood on the
desk in the back hall of theif
house with hs hands pointed to
7:00 o'clock.
That was because he had chosen
to accept the magic thut allowed,
him to turn the time backward or'
forward, but in return for the
mnglc ho had to give up telling:
the ordinary, usual time.
Now the Little Black Clock was
taking them once more In the train
drawn by horses, but now there
was a second track and upon that
second track was a locomotive
about to travel by its steam.
"We're going to have a race,"
the Little Black Clock snld. "Tho
locomotive is going to race our
train drawn by horses."
"Well, we won't win. That's
certain," said John.
. "Don't be so sure about It," said
the Little Black Clock.
"A train can always go faster
than horses, Peggy said.
"Yes?" questioned the Little
Black Clock.
The race had started. Many peo
ple were watching it. Rome were
cheering the horses nlong nnd
others seemed to think that, per
haps the locomotive would win.
It was surprising to John to no-
tlco how many more people
' thought the horses would win
! tn,,n tne locomotive.
I "hat a nice It was! First the
I horses not ahead. Then tho .turn
I '"comoine passed tnetn. Well.
that was what John had thought
would be sure to happen. ,
I'enple cheered. Anil, then some
thing else happened!
Tomorrow-
"i'he Winner.'
