a club about three year* ago, it re

the movement the needed impetus.

Agriculture.

Agriculture has made substantial
gains during the year, says Secretary
of Agriculture William M. Jardine in
his annual report. The farmers’ mil-
lenium, however, is not yet here.
In many parts of the country one
Murd of the farmors’ net income goes
for taxes on farm land, Secretary Jar-
dine says department figures show.
Yet the farmers’ tax problems are
driefly State and local, only a small
part being paid to the central Govern
ment. Hence, the farmer’s! tax prob
lems must be worked out on a State
and local basis.
Here is a sentence from his report
that will bear study: “While farmers

Santa Clan*.
Who says there isn’t any Santa
Claus? If any such there be, let him
read this.
Saint Nicholas was an actual per
son. He was bishop of Myra, in
Lycia, Asia Minor, in the first part of

dispmser of the good thing* of life.
Thus ho came into universal popular

While farmers are being forced
sell cotton at a figufe that, for this
year's small crop at least, is below
the coat of production, we are told
^hat a big cotton concern made a
half-million dollars on ONE ship
ment of cotton. Ami yet there are
those who claim that the farmer is
responsible f*r his present deplorable
financial condition. In-our humble
opinion one reason for the present
low price of cotton is due to the fact
that “big monty" had sold cotton it
didn’t own and U is now making good
its obligations by robbing those who
sweated to grow the fleecy staple.
The cotton exchanges are no doubt a
ne essary evil, but no man should be
allowed to sell thereon cotton that he

And another thing: We- are told
that mo*t of this talk of-mill curtail
ment comes from those who produce
goods that are bought by the poorer
•classes and whose buying power has
been rendeud negligible by the poor
prices received for farm products.
In the last analysis, there can be
no real prosperity in this country un
til the farmer is allowed to share
therein. We have already ignored
that fact too long and havo robbed
one class to make a synthetic pros
perity for other classes.

Wanted—A Leader.
With a presidential year in the
offing and the Seventkih Congress
facing a staggering amount of work,
the country needs more than ever
rteal leadership. Mere politicians
need not apply, for politicians’ fe«t
won’t fit statesmen’s shoes.

About your 1
Health
Thinpi You Should. Know
-Condiments.
Moir people use spices and sauces
of varying potency, not because such
things possess any nutrient value,
but-to compel the stomach to toler
ate an over-feed. The normal,
healthy human being does not need
an appetizer; his desire for food is
exactly adjusted to his need of nour
ishment, and any interference with
it by its erratic host will, in* time,
bring punishment in the way of indi
gestion. Fully as many people abuse
condiments in excesses as poison
themselves by tobacco or alcoholic
stimulants! )ust a matter of time in
action is ail the difference; it takes
the spice brigade a bit longer to kill
or disable its victims.
Visit a popular cafe, and watch the
“tubby” men blackening big juicy
steaks with pepper, or soakirig them
with highly concentrated solutions, to
force their great, sagging stomachs
to combat the extra burden! They
are only fanning a slowly-waning
vital flame—the fire that has been
tirelessly overfed.
Most condiments act by immediate
irritation, the contact with the sur
face exposed. Put some salt in your
eye; some mustard; some pepper, or
any compound containing it; besides
causing; pain, it stimulates copious
t-it with violence suf
ficient to disable the optic tempor
arily. Only a ^oPL'Would put rfl ^
pepper in the eye, but they do not
nesitate to drop the coals into the
stomach; the effect is the same.
The physician employs Condiment*
as medicine, and wisely. He wishes
to restore the debilitated organs by
gentle stimulation; a besotted
stomach may be improved by mod
erate stimulation, but is made weak
er by the repetition of bigger and
-stronger doses of the stimulant. Our
actual use of condiments is, perhaps,
ten timo in--excess; a wise plan
would be to reduce both food and
corKlimcr.t systematically.
