On our former visit, drought was the sole subject of conver

Pecatonica yesterday and the heavy thunder storm last night.
The muddy Rock river has risen three feet in as many days, and
the highways in the country are covered with silt washed down
from the fields. The skies cleared for a brief time this noon,

American leagues, but it is cloudy now and looks like more rain.

lour weeks ago, all the farmers around here were ruined,
the cattle were starving, a minor catastrophe was certain and a
major one probable. A local newspaper in fact printed a long
and authoritative article to the effect that the Sliddlewest was
due to become another Great American desert, the only hope of
rescue being to plant trees, pull
large sections to swamps and forests.

and bedraggled, only the geese and ducks were having a good

Just as no one knows much about the weather, no one knows
much about the farm problem. There is a great deal of conver

We called on the local county agent today an agreeable,
intelligent and (apparently) hard working young man. We
fired the question at him point blank why AREN'T the farm

"Of course" said he, "I can tell you one of the reasons why
the farmers aren't making money, and in spite of these fine
rains probably won't make money this year. They have to pay
out more money than they can take in. But I don't know ail
the reasons, and neither do I know, what changes have to be
made so. they CAN make money. Tho problem is largely one
of over-supply, and yet there are many other contributing fac

The raise in the standards of living of the farmer he must have

In Freeport Judge 13 invited us into a saloon to have
a drink he said he wanted to show a westerner how Illinois is
handling the liquor problem. Turely in tho interest of research
we accepted. " ' ' '
There was the usual bar and a couple of bartenders, also
as usual with white aprons, hair combed back slick, and hospit
able manners. '
We ordered draught beer the same being promptly provided
in largo glass mugs, the' bartender scraping off tho suds in
orthodox fashion with an "ivory ruler."
Our bartender's name was Joe. He said Freeport was dead
as William MoKinloy, but his own business wasn't so rotten. Ho
had been a bartender bofore Prohibition, and hoped to earn
an honest living as a bartender after it.

THE FAT IN THE HEALTHY BODY.
A healthy man weighing ISO
pounds consist of 90 pounds of wat
er, 37 pounds of muscle ind blood
corpuscles and other tissue elements,
9 pounds of min
erals, J'j pounds
of glycogen (ani
mal starch) or
blood sugar, and
23 pounds of
fat. Let's se
that doesn't
leave much for
his brain, does
It. But no mat
ter. We've divid
ed the brain and
other organs up
against these
component sub
stances.
There Is proportionately more fat
In the body of a woman. Or at least
there was In the nice comfortable old
fashioned kind. Some of them today
have little or no more softness than
a New England hired man. i
The fat In the healthy body Is dis
tributed In a kind of Insulating
blanket, called the pannlculus, of
adipose tissue under the slcln. This
serves to keep the body warm, as fat
Is a non-conductor or slow conductor
of heat. It also serves to give a soft
smooth rounded outline to the body,
especially at points where angles or
knobs would project If the fat pad
did not cover them. This subcutane
ous layer of fat also protects mus
cles, nerves and vessels In and under
the sklu from pressure or Injury. As
a non-conductor of heat It expallns
why women generally stand exposure
to cold better than men do.
Besides the pannlculus, a consider
ate m.ount of fat Is stored In the
ab-. !j.;.en, both In the omentum or
apron that hangs In front of the
viscera and In the supporting mem
branes of the stomach and Intestines.
Then It Is used as padding to sup
port various organs, notably the kid
neys. Lighter masses or leaves of fat
are distributed between the muscles,
over me cneek bone and chin, over
the hollows of the temple bones. In
the breasts and back of the eyeballs.
With emaciation from any cause, loss
of the body fat, these places all ap
pear hollow or sunken and abdom
inal organs are likely to go on the
loose. Furrows or wrinkles appear In
the skin.
You young people who are not over

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Haw-Haw Corner.
As a chemist I am Interested In the
theory of Dr. Hay who says that hy
drochloric acid in the stomach di
gests proteins and that starches and
carbohydrates need an alklllne sys
tem for digestion. Further that these
two systems, being inconsistent,
cause Indigestion ... (J. T.)
Answer As a student, son, you
have considerable ground yet to cov
er before you can call yourself a
chemist. For Instance, you will learn
if you study diligently, that starches
are carbohydrates. Your Dr. Hay was
born too late. He should have been
on hand when the Creator was or
daining these things. He might have
prevented the mistake of combining
protein (curd) and carbohydrate
milk sugar) in the natural food of
Infants and young animals.
Menial Deficiency.
Is It possible for the germ causing
colitis to get Into the blood stream
and cause mental deficiency? Have
known two people who suffered with
colitis and afterward had these spells.
(Mrs. T. L.)
Answer More likely there Is some
mental deficiency in the first place,
which makes the Individual more
susceptible to the "colitis" obsession.
If germs get Into the blood stream
they do not cause mental deficiency
in any circumstance. The functional
derangement popularly called "colitis"
is not actually Inflammation at all,
and Is not caused by germs.

have to take what they can get.

a forward step.
The secret police, we read, can no

can't CONVICT.
It's a bad state of affairs when the
policeman who arrests you can also
