It will be no effort to feed the
poor next winter, but it will take a
mighty effort to keep the gyps from
eating all the food up before the
worthy poor are aided. The profes
sional bum, and the eternally un
employed, are brazenly forward and
gabby, and know how to take every
advantage. They are master weavers
of hard-luck tales. The worthy poor
stay In the background, and In many
Instances, suffer tnrough a lack of
blatancy. A way should be evolved
to aid the worthy without having
their pride kicked around the court
house lawn, for the amusement of
transient Indigents. The latter class
are now headed thla way eagerly, on
the auto tramp repirt that "Jackson

Editorial Correspondence
ROCKFORD, 111., Aug. 13.
They are tearing up the rails
of the Rockford-Janesville in
temrban electrie across- the
river. Thirty years ago that
line was booming, now it is de
funct. They say the first auto-
mobile in Rockford was bought
with dividends from that rail
road. The man who bought it
was also a banker. Now his
bank has failed, the interurban
sold for junk. There are many
tragedies in Rockford like that.
For two years, alleged million
aires have been hopping out
of the income tax paying class
like pop corn out of a popper
from "shirt sleeves to shirt
sleeves," as the saying goes.
Some are good sports, some
are not. One of the former, a
woman who lost $20,000 in one
of the bank crashes, speaking
of her new car bought a year
ago, said: "Thank God for the
Money I have SPENT 1"
It is not hard to see why the
Janesville road went bust, or
why railroads in this part of
the country are losing money
and many of them abandoning
their short brnnches. Up the
pnved highways on both sides
of the river there is a steady
stream night and day of cars
motor busses, trucks and pri
vate cars, going and coming,
coming and going. The Madi
son motor busses are always
well filled, ditto the Chicago
and Dubuque busses. On they
go fruit trucks and freight
trucks, while to the north the
Northwestern sends one train a
day and the St. Paul another
usually one passenger coach
and five or six freight ears.
Don't be too sorry for the rail
roads, however. They are run
ning their passenger motor
busses also, and are fitting in
free truck deliveries.
This is short haul business
however, A few milos south
heavy freight and passenger
trains are running to and from
the coast, and to and from the
south. The railroad short haul
has gone, the long haul hasn't,
and perhaps never will.
A sequel to the horse factory
story of a week ago and a true
one too. A Montana cowboy
came here with a carload of
horses from the western plains.
He knew nothing about where
they were going his job was
merely to feed and water the
horses.
He had always lived with
horses. He liked them. Many
of the horses, in the car he
knew, too wero pets. When he
saw the horses being driven
into a stock yards and was told
they were to be turned into
Ken-L-ration, he saw red. But
he could do nothing. Ha didn't
own them. He drew his money,
went to a cheap boarding house
and a few days later he was
arrested by the night watch
man at the Chappel horse fac
tory with two bombs in the
satchel he carried. The cowboy
had gone completely mad. He
is now in the insane asylum in
Elgin.
Yet, anyone who loves horses
can understand that. Ardent
horse lovers-are advised to keep
away from the place, that's all,
or they may want to blow up
something, too.
The Illinois national guard
encampment is on at Camp
Grant, south of the city over
8000 troops, infantry, cavalry,
airplanes, including one colored
regiment. That colored regi
ment emphasizes the amazing
influx of southern negroes to
Illinois, following the World
war. Twenty-five years ago,
Rockford politicians had to
work for the SwcdiHh vote and
bclievo you me, they did work
for it. In two decades the
Swedish clement has been pret
ty well absorbed into the body
politio and they make excel
lent citizen by the way. Poli
tioiaui now. dp everything
I they can to please the Southern
I European and the colored vot
ers. The alien picture has radi
cally changed. j
From a civic standpoint, the
profits of the boom pericjd, in
Rockford were not wasted
there are many lasting monu
ments to good government and
to the good old days. New
parks for example, with golf
courses, ponds, fountains and
sunken gardens. And just north
of Camp Grant the new sewage
disposal plant put in at a cost
of $2,600,000, When other cities
follow suit, the Rock River will
be what it was in the old days,
a beauty and a joy forever, in
stead of a sewage canal and
an abomination. Wisconsin re
cently passed a state law which
will make modern sewage dis
posal to the north, imperative.
That Rockford plant cost a lot
of money, but according to the
newspaper men, the taxpayers
have never regretted it and
even in these parlous times,
complaints are never heard.
For before it was installed, ty
phoid epidemics were common
at this time of year, the most
serious ones accounting for
hundreds of lives. This year
to date, only one case of ty
phoid has been reported, Rock
ford having the best record of
any city in the state, in this
regard.
Visitors are welcome at this
disposal plant, a guide to show
them around. The day we went
over, there was a party of club
women from Madison being
escorted around. The plant has
only been in operation six
months, but there are already
flower gardens, green grass,
gravel and metal grating walks.
Everything is clean as a new
pin iron and brick and stone
nothing on the surface or in
the air at least, to offend. Two
by-products of the plant are
fertilizer and gas this year,
sacks of dry fertilizer are given
away to those who call, and the
power house, offices, stations,
etc., are heated by the gas not
much needed now, but will be
next winter. We were shown a
hot water gas heater at work.
Eight thousand soldiers, make
quite a showing. Governor
Emmcrson of Illinois, arrived
yesterday, and was given the
salute of 17 guns and a cavalry
escort. The present writer was
quite thrilled. But his escort
wasn't.
"That's nothing," said he,
"you should have been here
during the war, when they had
40,000 officers and men. Them
were the days!"
Congressman Martin of Ore
gon, by the way, was the cora
mandent at that time.

HEARST RANCH, San Sim
eon, Cal., Aug. 17 California
is building a new "coast road,"
running north and south, close
to the edge of the Pacific. It
parallels the splendid roads
that already run from San
Diego to the end of the state
and on through Oregon and
Washington, to Seattle, for a
total length of more than fif
teen hundred miles.
Convicts are employed on the
coast road, paid enough to help
get a start when they leave
prison, a better plan than leav
ing them locked up, to rage
and mutiny. The money is
kept for them, but if a prison
er runs away, as occasionally
happens, that costs the other
prisoners dear.
For each runaway prisoner captur
ed, a (200 reward is paid, out of the
earnings of all the prlaoners. The
nfen watch each other, and escapes
are few,
Recently two escaped, Including
one Indian. The Indian got away
a aecond time, on his way back to
the prison camp. He bad said that
he would kill the sheriff that first
arrested him, and on his second es
cape started to fulfill his vow. Be
fore he could procure any weapon
he waa ahot - dead, the authorities
deciding that he waa "too bad and
dangerous an Indian."
There you have a text for young
editorial writers, In achools of Jour
nalism. They might, say:
Human life on this earth today Is

Cuba deals with a doctors' strike.
Ten'thousand medical men, organ
ized in a "National Medical Federa
tion of Cuba," rebelling agatnat low
pay, have walked out of .hospitals
and aanltarla, also refusing to attend
3000 patlente confined in institu
tions. '
President Mnchado, much disturbed,
promises to srbltrate conditions of
which the doctors complain.
The imaginary young student of
journalism might also write about
that:
This shows' the difference between
body and soul. Some Latin coun
tries, Mexico, Spain apd others, have
closed churches, reduced the number
of officiating priests to the vanish
ing point, and there has been, thus
far, no effective protest, although
lack of medical attention only threat
ens the physical body, doonied to
early death, whereas lack ot relig
ious attention threatens the safety
of the Immortal soul.
The explanation of the strange In
difference b simple. If you neglect
a sick body, It hurts, Immediately A
sick soul does not hurt, until later.
But later, unless Dante and others
are mistaken. It hurts, seriously.
Another strike starts in Iowa. Far
mers, dissatisfied with prices, are
holding back products from the mar
kets, thinking the publio will pay
more liberally, when It la hungry.
In the north.west, wheat growers say
they will hold back wheat.

have some more
recipes for ypu.
Better make a

wlah to use.
Nothing gets me
off my bowling
so much ss a lot
of letters from folk who decide six
weeks after publication of an item
like this that they want a copy, when
we have no copies available.
For heat rash (prickly heat) bathe
with a handful of bran In basin of
tepid water, or a tablespoonful of
saleratus (soda) in a basin of tepid
water, dry with soft towel and pow
der freely with cornstarch powder or
with zinc stearate powder or with
borated talcum. Avoid soap.
Chafing between opposing skin sur
faces calls for gentle soap and tepid
water bathing, repeated rinsing away
of the aoap, drying with soft towel
and fanning, then heavily coating
with zlno stearate powder. If the
chafed or scalded surface Is moist,
smear it with fresh castor oil or with
soft petrolatum and cover with a
piece of soft linen. Exposure to the
air is the best preventlvs and cure or
chafing or scalding.
For chapping, redness or roughness
of the skin, this lotion Is an old
standby:
Boric acid powder. 3 drams
(teaspoon full
Tragacanth shavings 80 grains
Glycerin 3 drams
(tablespoonful)
Rainwater or distilled water. 1 pint
boh, stirring constantly, till a clear
Jelly is obtained. Apply after wash
ing the hands and before skin Is quite
dry. two or three times a day.
This lotion is excellent after shav
ing.
Of course the relief of the Itching
of scabies, old-fsshloned Itch, is the
cure of the disease, and that means
the killing of the Itch mites that
burrow under the cuticle. The best
remedy for this Is sulphur ointment
not "sulphur and lard." crudely
mixed up, but sulphur ointment
made by a skilled pharmacist, a
pound of it fresh, after the formula
In the Pharmacopoeia. The success
of this treatment depends largely up
on the manner in which the aulphnr
la applied. No room here to give In
structions. Bath pruritus Is a mild degree ot
Itching, rather irritation, indicating
the following measures:
1. Don't bathe.
a. f you must bathe, make It
short and no more extensive than
the law requires.
The beautiful city of Pasadena, on
the hillside east of Los Angeles, an
nounces that all taxes will be cut 11
per cent. The thing has been done
by revising city expenses.
That will Intent other cities, and
annoy those managed by men that
find wealth and political power In
tax expenditure,
More Interesting is' the fact that
five cities in Kansas, four In another
state, levy no taxes at all. Publicly
owned light und power plants yield
profits thst make taxes unnecessary.
In Jacksonville, the entire tax
budget amounts to only $390,000,
less than a per Inhabitant, as com
pared with nearly $100 per capita In
one of our richest cities.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
None So Blind. ' 1
I wrote asking for your pamphlet
on "Constipation," enclosing stamp
addressed envelope and a dime. A
few days later ! received a "Little
Lesson in the Ways of Health" No.
25, which I have read through sev
eral times, but so fsr ss I can see
It Is Just a discussion of the subject
but no advice about effecting a cure.
You say "the first five daya are the
hardest." Please advise what you
are supposed to do the first five
days. Mrs. F. F. "
Answer. Immaterial to me you
may suppose I go fishing, attend the
movlea, bowl, read murder stories,
even do a bit of writing now and
then. 'I can't see what difference It
makes what I may be doing the first
five days. Persons with the consti
pation habit are doing whatever they
can to keep their minds off their
bowels. The pamphlet "The Consti
pation Habit" has helped many to
overcome the habit. I do, not offer
to cure anything.
Ivy Poisoning.
Some years ago I asked your advice
about ivy poisoning. I had suffered
a great deal from It. The Internal
doses of Rhus Toxicodendron which
you suggest have apparently given me
complete Immunity for I no longer
suffer when I am exposed. K. R. D.
Answer. Perhaps such homeo
pathic doses are safer than the prac
tice of eating a bit of ivy leaf to gain
Immunity. We are. glad to send the
particulars on request. Inclose stamp
ed addressed envelope.

"And now, without having first
appealed to congress for money and

"Hoover suddenly surrenders and de
clares the helplessness of his admin

"Would Jackson or Lincoln or Wil
son have made such a declaration of
administrative helplessness to uphold
the constitution without a vigorous
demand that congress give all pos
sible aid?
"And now to remedy the 'Intoler

his administration cannot control.
Hoover makes an Indefinite, Illogical
and Impracticable proposal that a
new amendment be adopted, which
amendment will permit the atates to
legalize the manufacture and aale of
intoxicants but which will contain a
guarantee that the federal govern
ment will prevent the' return of the
saloon and violation of the laws of
dry states.
"Until Hoover specifically formu
lates a provision whereby he proposed
to prevent the return of the saloon
his proposal 1 simply an Indefinite
and glittering generality. How will
he define where the legal hotel or
restaurant or drinking parlor ends
and the illegal soloon begins?"
