Dr. Jek.vl and Mr. Hyde I Kindly,

A year ago through this state they were praying for rain,
with the grain burned to a crisp and corn, seared leaflets a few
inches from the ground. Now they are praying for the sun to
come out and the flood waters to recede!
The U. P. limited runs through only one area of flooded
desolation, fences down, huge muddy gaps in the fields, a sand
bar placed down in what was once a corn field, barns 8nd sheds
on their sides, in the black ooze, like battered boats, left by a
high tide.
North and south and east according to the Omaha World
Herald, there are acres ruined, stock drowned, a casualty list of
at least 100 men, women and children.
Yes what a Dr. .Ickyl and Mr. Hyde what a ghastly bungler
Nature can be. How much better man could run things if he
had the power at least how much better for MAN!
.....
What a dose of weather the corn belt has had a year ago
drought and extreme heat, then dust storms opened the early
spring, nnd now it's floods. Certainly one might expect tjjose
who can to pack up their belongings on the Old Ijizzic and start
for the Pacific coast. However many of them will be in no
position to leave, if they wished; and the majority will not wish.
Be it ever so disheartening and dangerous there is no place like
home I On the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius the natives still live and
raise their children and their grapes. They have for generations
and as long as the soil yields no doubt they will continue to do
so. Man is both a home loving and a pretty stubborn animal.
The man who wore his overcoat in the diner and had celery

The train is now averaging over 60 miles an hoi)r. Had a
nice brush with a big Packard a few miles back a California
license and much luggage strapped on the back. But the U. P.
won suddenly and ensily when the paved highway stopped and
a common dirt road loomed up for miles ahead. Mather surpris
ing that, in a state like Nebraska there should be any portion
of a main trunk highway unpaved!
Last night at Ogden a "O" man got on the train to ride to
Cireen Hiver, Wyoming. He had spent, the day in Salt f,nke and
Ogden and been ordered to firecn Jfiver on a new tip. He didn't
talk much but we got the impression he was not particularly
hopeful of rounding up the Weyerhaeuser kidnapers very soon.
He did say this:
"They're a smart gang and probably a big gang. They
divided up the money and have scattered six ways for Sunday.
They are changing that, hot money for cold money that is for
clean money as fast as they can. They got at least $1000 in
clean money in Salt Lake and Ogden. They make small pnrchases
and hand over '20 dollar bills getting back from $15 to $1!) in
change, and clean as a hound's tooth. I'iiIosk someone is lucky
and eomcs on them just as they are handing over a raiisom bill,
it will be pretty hard to eateh them. In another week I expect
to see most of that $200,000 out of the gang's hands and in the
hands of innocent people. Then good-night how could you
catch them, with no incriminating money in their hands"
We didn't know, and we assume no one in the smoking
room knew it was a "0" man talking. The Pullman conductor
gave us the information this morning. It seems there is a
Nevada cattleman on tho train going to Washington to testify
at some hearing. He wants a typew riter and our portable is the
only one on tho train. The conductor asked for the loan and
gave us the news tip in exchange. He is a nice conductor, with
pink cheeks and a ready smile. ?. W. R.

tained by a more liberal Intake of the
"protective foods", that Is, foods con

guished authority, Sherman, adds
that a liberal intake of calcium (In
certain foods) and of vitamins A, C
and G are the important factors In
the attainment and maintenance of
this superior condition of nutrition
nnd positive health. Sherman and
Ellis found that by adding vitamin
O to an already adequate diet, in

a superior vitality In the young and
an extension of the period between
the attainment of maturity and the
onset of senility. Prolongation of
youth in other words. And these more
vital young animals in turn had
young that showed superior vitality.
It was concluded that an optimal in

intake ordinarily considered necessary
or adequate to maintain health.

KIIOE OF VITAMINS
I Ideally, of course, our food should
! furnish all the vitamins we require.
Owing to refining, cooking, preserv
ing, pasteurizing, sterilizing, storing.
selecting customs or practices umch of
our food Is robbed of its vitamins, so
that It Is not easy to get an adequate
ration of vitamins from food even If
there be no restriction on choice ot
food, voluntary, obligatory or seasonal
or climatic.
One of the scientists who Isolated
vitamin C known as ascorbic acid or
cebion reported recently his opinion
that this vitamin protects against ar-
terlsclerosls and other manifestations
of old age.
I am convinced that In the treat
ment of many vague ailments or
health disturbances which we have
not heretofore associated with nu
tritional deficiency calls for an op
timal ration of vitamins to supple
ment the usual diet.
Ql ESTIONS AND 'ANSWERS
Why L'se a Crutch?
You stated In answer to a query
that no crutch, belt, corset, bandage,
brace, splint or supporter should be
worn by a healthy person. I have
worn an athletic supporter for years
for comfort. Kindly tell why this la
unwise. (M. C. H.)
Answer. If a healthy person puts
his arm In a splint and sling for
many months the arm will become
weaker and weaker. The same thing
applies to wearing any other artificial
support.
Hut What a 1'lnc Color?
Your assurance that the "added
color" used on oranges Is harmless
does not seem In accord with the
statement that the ethylene treatment
for coloring oranges may oonceal in
feriority or damage, and deceive the
purchaser as to true ripeness, nutri
tive quality and digestibility, which
the purchaser has a right to expect
in buying oranges of golden hue. (L.
M. S.)
Ans. I agree with all that. Still,
the coloring matter Is harmless In
Itself.
Rubbers and V.yes
My teacher says If I wsar my rub
bers In school they will affect my
eyes. Also can children under 14
years of age drink cocoa without any
Injurious effect? R. W.)
I Ans. Wearine rtibbers Indoors Is
not a healthful practice, but It does
not affect the eyes particularly. I
think children under 16 should not
drink tea. coffee or cocoa, but of the
three beverages cocoa Is the least In
jurious. (Copyright. 1935. John F. DUle Co.)

Comment
. on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
THROUGHOUT the west, this wee
will be observed as "Rallroao
Week," the special occasion for this
observance being the spending by
the railroads of the west of nine
teen million dollars for air -conditioning
their trains.
That Is a no tew ur thy event lor
two reasons because 19 million dol
lars Is a lot of money and because
it takes a lot of courage to spend If
million dollars In times like these.
(Incidentally, as the kick-off oi
this special observance, a loud blast
was blown at 8 o'clock Monday
morning on the whistle of every
locomotive west of the Mississippi
river. If all these locomotives could
have been got together In one place
for that blast. It would have made
a lot of noise.)
FIRST about this air-conditioning.
"What Is It?" you may ask.
Well, so far as the railroads are
concerned. It amounts to creating
artificially In the Interiors of ALL
their passenger cars a PERFECT wea
ther condition neither too hot nor
too cold; no dust, no smell, no
sweating, no freezing.
Modern Industrial progress, you
know, has made that possible.
IP you've ever crossed the country,
from east to west, or the othei
way, In midsummer, you'll know
what this achievement of the west
ern railroads means. Nothing can be
much hotter than a railroad car in
hot weather that is, one of the oiu
railroad cars before air-conditioning
Not only was It hot, but It was
smelly and dirty. You felt grimy an
the time, and the odor of coal or
ell smoke kept you half sick.
Alr-condltloning does away wltn
all that.
JUST a word here about the cour
age of the railroads In adding
to their passenger trains the last
word la modern comfort.
In times such as these, It takes
real courage to put out BIG MONEY
when you don't know whether or
not you have a chance to get it back
Because too many people and too
many concerns LACK this courage
Is why the depression hangs on. H
EVERYBODY had the courage to go
ahead and do the modernizing nis
business needs right now, the de
pression would soon be a thing oi
the past.
The western railroads had It, and
for that they deserve a lot of patting
on the back.
HERE In the west, we have a par
ticular reason for feeling kindly
toward the railroads, because It was
the railroada that BUILT THE WESi.
But for them, this whole western
country, except for a little strip
along the Pacific coast, would still
be a wilderness. It waa the building
of the railroads that made this a
great country and It took real vision
and foresight to put billions of dol
lars Into the building of railroads
into a raw wilderness.
But if it hadn't been done, wc
wouldn't be here.
A RAILROAD man said to this
writer the other day: "The way
to make people appreciate the rail
roads would be to stop all the trains
for about a week."
That would certainly turn the
trick, all right although this writer
hopes It will never be necessary to
make such a demonstration. Stop
ping all the trains would certainly
turn our lives upside down.
HERE'S an Interesting fact:
In normal times, the railroads
consume about ONE-FOURTH of an
commodities produced In this coun
try. A customer of that size Is quite
a customer. We'd miss him if he
went broke.
THE railroads of hi country have
gone through a lot ot grief
most of it tracing back In recent
years to the fact that they can't
run their own business, but have to
submit to having it run by the gov
ernment. I
This situation has pushed up their
costs year after year to the point
where their competitors, the busses,
the trucks and the ships, can ope
rate far cheaper than they can. ana
so get the business It's tough to
see a competitor taking your bust-
ness and not be able to do mucn
about It.
But the railroads have kept their
'courage, and are keeping v up witn ;
the limes, aa witness fast stream-!
lined trains and air-conditloneo
coaches. For that they are entltiea
to a lot of credit.
SO, during railroad week and at
other times, let's give them a
! hand. Weve cussed the railroads a
lot during the past generation, ana 1
'at times they've deserved it, but in
' the face of serious difficulties they
are now making a game fight for1
business, and out here In the west
e admire game fighters.

The first step taken by the grass
rooters toward linking their 10 states
Into a mldwestern Republican bloc
was put through today when the
conference voted to set up a "per
manent committee on future plans
and policies."
Ward Senn of Minneapolis, report
ing as chairman of the conference
committee on future plans, said the
new committee would "promote Re
publican Interests, enlist supporters
and raise finances."
A statement that young Republi
cans "will not be satisfied with re
actionary, warmed-over lendership'
was made to the conference by
George Olmstead of Dcs Moines, who
represents the young Republicans
on the Republican National commit
tee. "We must create leadership they
will respect." he said. "Let us make
the grand o'.d party the crand new
party. Then we will find young
America fighting valiantly at our
side."
He echoed the bid of the other
conference speakers for the support
of all anti-Rooseveit sentiment.
"Let us welcome into our ranks
all Americans." he said, "regardless
of party affiliations,"
Nearly half of the conference lend

see it, Mr. Hoover Is a titular leader
without a substantial personal fol

talk to every Republican leader about
principals but who cannot count on

placed confidentially on the desks of
the foremost new dealers by "the
committee for economic recovery."
This is the committee of business
men who have been co-operating un
officially with the new deal, you
may recll that the committee sub
mitted an extensive recovery plan
several weeks ago in -a lavishly pre
pared, leather-bound blue book, on
which the name of each new deal
recipient was embossed in gold.
The latest confidential tome Is a
second edition of the first and con
tains an Interesting proposal for a
new deal cotton program.
What it wants primarily is a reduc
tion to 10 cents of loans on. 1935-19.38
crops; retention of the present pro
cessing tax; announcement that the
! I Ndws I
government will dispose of cotton
now on hand; a quick announcement
of policy from the AAA.
As a future long range policy. It
recommends benefit payments on a
tariff compensatory scale to be based
on gross Income rather than price
per pound; sale of cotton on a net L
weight basis. T.
The new blue book also advocates a
foreign trade policy to "remove as
many barriers us possible"; encour
agement for tabilizntton of curren
cies; quick aatlon on the Japanese
imports from the tariff commission;
several permanent cotton committees
to be established within the govern
ment to study nnd help cotton.
The book was presented privately to
members of the cabinet committee
now studying cotton who will decide
what to do about It. But it Is more
than a mere off-hand secret recom
mendation from b business commit
tee. This blue book crowd has strong
political backing inside the new deal.
