It goes without laying that people in hard timet eat less than during prosperous ones. Only s step forward is the conclusion that the home market for the farmer it capable of large ex tension once employment conditions are solidly improved. There is matter for serious thinking -in the statistics of food consumption in the United States. Consider for a' moment the per capita consumption of wheat, which amounted to 6.9 bushels in the flush year of 1919 and slumped to 4.6 bushels iu 1920, the year of deflation. "This decline," observes the report of the congressional Joint Commission of Agricultural Inquiry, "was no doubt due to failing purchasing power result' ing from unemployment and the general depres sion which cams upon the country in the Utter half of 1920." . ' It can not be asserted that the American peo ple are turning from a vegetable to a meat diet, for the consumption of meat has 'for a long period been undergoing a decline. ' In 1911 the average amount of beef eaten was 73.9 pounds; in 1919, 60 pounds, and in 1920, 56.4 pounds. Al though consumption of pork shows a slight gatn, yet it is now less than it was is decade ago.' The figures show a pgr-capita .consumption of 75 pounds of pork in l911,'of 70.3 pounds in 1919, and of 71 pounds in 1920. ; ' .' The packers today, are worrying over the fall ing off of meat eating, but it appears simply to be a part of; t general condition: -which affects almost every agricultural product. '."Cotton con sumption in 1920," according) this government report, "was lower than in any year since 1915." There is, however, a gleam of reassurance in the finding that it is now rising steadily. Wool con sumption, however, has declined. A continuation of this trend means .only one thing the lowering of the American standard of living. Our fields are still able to bear bounti fully; the trouble fs not with'productibn; bur with consumption. Something is radically wrong. The home market ''must be built up, whether by im posing tariffs, stabilizing wage and employment conditions, increasing the efficiency and lowering the costs' of distribution, or what other changes that are advocated, from time to time. The day when mart is regarded as a consumer instead of being considered only as a producing animal will see a recognition of one of the facts ' that underlies civilization and progress. ' bnmn sympathy. It. is not unlike in instance In Omtlis s few months ago where vigorous pro le. i were necesry to prevent the breaking up of s lit ile family became ol s Irchuicsl violation of the immigration Sometimes the purpose of the law in this rate, the guaranty of good citie n.hip is best served by breaking its letter. The Decay o( Kidnaping. A generation that shuddered at each unmis takable approach of s gypsy caravan will ex perience again tome of those childith thrills at the story of a young woman who claims to have been kidnaped end held for years by one of these roving bands. For the mot part the Romany folk today wander about the country in touring cars. They are scarcely distinguishable from or. diiiary rrost-country tourists and attract little attention except when found ramped along a country road with their gsy-hued garments hung out on the bushes. Terhaps this young woman wis stolen by gypsies, although we have the word of the evan gelist, Gypsy Smith, that this is not their cus tom and there is much evidence that child stealing Is not one of their professions. On the other hand, it may have been that she was attracted by the free and idle life led by the tribe and joined them for a holiday in the open, of which she later tired. There have been men and women, too, before her who sickened of the routine and confinement of civilization. A tragic episode of American history concerns the long search of two brothers for their sitter, who had been carried sway by Indians. Years later, when they found her in s savage camp among the Squaws, she told them she was happier where she was and refused to go back. Kidnaping is a serious crime today, and there sre few instances in which the perpetrator! do not come to grief. One remembers a flippant story by O. Henry which revolves about the spiriting away of the badly spoiled son of a wealthy man. The abductors, from their camp in the hills, dispatched a note demanding ran som. Then they waited a week, the red-headed youngster meanwhile making their life miser able with his pranks and complaints. Finally the father replied, advising them that it wai their loss and his gain and closing with the statement that the little bully was in exactly the proper' company. In all haste the bad men answered with the offer of a good round sum if the father would relieve them of their captive. Another Block in the Bonus Way. The McCumber soldier bonus bill has again been blocked on its way to the general file in the senate, by jthe objection of John Sharp Wil liams, democrat, ;of . Mississippi. Its advocates are-anxious to get it up for consideration with out delay, but the tariff has right of way and will hardly be displaced to discuss the bonus. Its passage at the present Session appears certain. Then it must go back, to. the house, for the measure is materially different from that adopted by the representatives, the principal change being the elimination of the reclamation feature of the house bill and the substitution of a plan for giving credits on land purchase.''''-'"'' :-'- .'';." The McCumber plan will eventually cost $250,000 less than the house bill, bringing the final total under $4,000,000,000, and it is strung out over forty-threeyears, rather than to mature in twenty,' Also,; provisions are made for allow ing the Treasury to get intOi better shape than it is, being confronted with the necessity of car ing for the redemption of $7,000,000,000 of debt in the coming two years. These features of the bill are expected Ho-recommend it to some who otherwise would have opposed a bonus. Senator McCumber says the matter of a spe cial tax, if any, to meet requirements of the proposed law, will bei allowed to stand over to J such time as Treasury experience may denote what is necessary to be done. In this he is set ting aside the suggestion of, the president that any plan for a bonus should be accompanied by a scheme for raising the money. Tariff debate in the senate will be succeeded in turn by argument on tlie bonus, and a busy summer is ensured at the capital. . Case of Chaplin's Mother. A quality of Charlie Chaplin's character not shown on the moving picture screen is being portrayed in news dispatches that tell of his vig ' orous fight to prevent the deportation of his in valid mother to her former: home in England. 1 The comedian's mother is suffering from men tal disorders resulting from shell shock sustained during the "war. when enemy air bombs terrorized the neighborhood in which she lived. . Her sons brought her to the United States in order that the might have the benefit of a change of scene, excellent medical attention and, what is probably more healing than anything else in this case, as sociation with her loved oneiy.' Government reg ulations forbid the entrance of those mentally irresponsible, but s special permit' allowed Mrs. Chaplin to spend one year ia this country. That year is nearly over. The Chaplin family declares that the mother's condition is much improved and that a further stay may result in- her complete cure. Every possible guaranty is offered that she will never become s public .charge Here is a case, it would seem, where govern ment red tape can well be set aside by a bit of Iowa's Primary and Mississippi. We are at a loss to understand why the democrats should regard the nomination of a re publican in Iowa as a democratic victory. They know who will be elected, and they know he will not be listed among the democrats. Any con solation they can get out of that .fact they sre welcome to. Senator "Pat" Harrison of Missis sippi sees great reason for rejoicing in the out come of the Iowa vote. This suggests a com parison between the circumstances surrounding the choice of Senator Harrison and the nomina tion of Colonel Brookhart. " . - "Pat" Harrison was chosen by his fellow democrats of Mississippi because the senator he succeeded had incurred the displeasure of the president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson sent his 'ukase from the White. House, telling the democrats of Mississippi' they must not return James JK. Yardman to the senate. The result is "Pat" Harrison: Mr. Harrison modestly claims he received 95 per cent of the votes cast at the elec tion in 1918, but does not say how 'many were cast. In 1916 John Sharp Williams received 74,290 votes for United States senator in Missis sippi No record of the vote of 1918 is available, but in 1920 for president Cox had 69,277; Har' ding, 11,576, and Debs, 1,639, a total of 82,492 votes cast for president in Mississippi. Iowa's" vote in 1920 for president was 862,595, and for United States senator it was 860,467. ' ' ' Iowa, casting more than ten times the num ber of votes returned for Mississippi, has only two more , members of congress. When Pat Harrison and his political associates will allow the free, untrammeled use of the ballot in Mis sissippi as prevails in Iowa, a different story may be recorded. Until then it might-not be arru'ss' if the senator from the state where voting is suppressed should refrain from criticizing the result in a state where citizens have an oppor tunity to express their will at the polls. ; .- y What Taxpayers Want. An Omaha man, who has heard much about high taxes and the necessity for their immediate. reduction, visited the little town of Eagle, Lass county, the other day. He found there a new school building, equipped with ample class rooms, a gymnasium and other modern items, built, at a cost of $140,000 for the joint use of six consol-' idated districts. Pupils are conveyed to school by seven motor busses. He learned that recently there was talk of reducing taxes. The' school board decided to do its part and voted to eliminate the special music teacher, thereby sav ing $1,500 a year. . Did the board get a vote of thanks for this contribution to the taxpayers' salvation? It did not. Instead, a mass meeting , was called and patrons insisted that the music teacher must be restored, to her duties. The conclusion to be drawn, not merely from this incident but from others like it, is that Ne braska folk do not want taxes cut at the expense of public service. They want cuts made by the elimination of waste and unproductive extrava gance, but not by restricting service, to which they ire accustomed and which they believe to be worth while. ' Among the gifts made by the Rockefeller Foundation is one of $3,500,000 for rebuilding medical institutions in Brussels. Five univer sities in Central Eurppe received at the same time $50,000 for apparatus and supplies. This is an excellent piece of humanitarianism, and one to which every American may feel he contrib-. uted. ' . ' . ' It is reported that no exports of grain may be expected from Russia for five years, which improves the outlook for American farmers. If only the Russians can feed themselves, that Js as. much as the world can ask at present The army flyer who disturbed the Lincoln memorial service with his aerial stunts deserves no more consideration than a mosquito, and he was quite properly swatted by being deprived of hit commission. - The supreme court , has delayed another de cision on s dry law technicality, but the merry game of hide-and-seek will still go on between the bootleggers and the rum hounds.

Proa Um Dram's Josnisl-Blottaita. . " Out a Kearney Fred W. Thomas of ths First National bank, Omaha, told ths bahkert of group S that he did not believe that they wished to see a state rural credit system established but that' unless' something could be done to fi nance agriculture, rural credits were coming. Mr. Thomas also said that America was afflicted with a deluge of legislation. By the latter etatement Mr. Thomas referred to the vague Idea that the general government is financially omnipotent; that by some magic it can do what the people individually or in associations cannot do and that It possesses a bottomless Fortunatut purse in short that every ill can be cured by a statute. No abler address upon legislation and the functions of credit was ever delivered in Nebraska and Mr. Thomas waa right In his contentions. There -are many projecta which should re ceive government aid, auch for instance aa the Grext Laket-St Iiawrence Waterway plan; but in the majority of Instances it is unquestionably best to permit the people to work out their own salvation under beneficent lawa. If legislation continuet to pile up in this country a time will soon come when there will be no Individual in itlative left - Government control of nearly all lines of business will mean that men will cease to Invest their money In enterprises where profit Is limited snd hazard made great by law. Mr. Thomas also had the courage to say that the packers were not plundering the country but were as much Interested in Increased Rroductlon as were the farmers and cattlemen. Too many addresses before bankers' and farmers' con ventions are mera stereotyped platitudes. Mr. Thomas deserves all credit for saying emphat ically what he thought and what he deemed It well for the people to know. . Atrocities at Home. From th. Fmtmtn. An ex-governor of a middle western state re turned the other day from Russia, and Informed his friends and neighbbors that they should not think of paying a visit to the land of the soviet republic. The advice was gratuitous; moreover, he published it on what teems the .very wortt .choice of a day a day when the chief organ of middle-western opinion recorded aa taking Elaee in and about the metropolis of the Great akes certain incidents reminiscent of those alleged to have been taken in Moscow two or three yeart ago. The day't grist was as follows: two cases of bomb-throwlns; several policemen shot down; over a dozen holdups accompanied by violence and assault; innumerable motor-car accidents; the wholesale arrest of labor-leaders for alleged conspiracy; the deliberate attempt to destroy 72 apartments by incendiarism; and last but" not least, the trial of the governor of the state for alleged misapproproation of the state's funds." " These sre a few of the doings which greeted the ex-governor on his arrival from the land where law'n order it unknown and private prop ;rty stands tn Jeopardy. A little more advice from our ex-governors; a few more murders, bomb-outrages, holdups; robberies by officials, departmental frauds and other such happening! as now regularly meet the eye of the reader of middle-western newspapers, a little more of this Kind of thing, and we shall presently tee ad vertisements by tome enterprising tourist com pany offering cheap tickets , for Moscow and other placet in Russia, where things, teem to be so quiet that even the Red Cross agents can not find another sensation wherewith to scare the wits out of our State Department.

The American Civil Liberties league Is pre paring to make a test of the powers of the pri vate guards in the coal districts of Pennsylvania An attorney! of the league went to Vintondale this week where meetings of miners have been dispersed by mine guards, held a meeting, and was arrested on the charge of trespass by the guards. Jn .return the attorney has had ar rested the head' of the Vintou Colliery company and four guards. . ,: ; There haa been much strong-arm work in the mining-districts on the part of mine owners and their private-guards. Meetings have been rorbldden; , union organizers have been hustled out of the mining towns. Free speech has been made an unknown privilege. It is about time the tyranny of these condi tions was challenged. The representatives of the Civi Liberties union cannot be brow beaten as can a handful of miners. They are aware of their civil rights and can defend them. The union- has some means of letting the public know what Is happening to its representatives m the mining towns and has some funds to make a fight 4 On the basis of what the Civil Liberties union has been able to do in similar cases, we predict the coal owners are going to have an uncom fortabJe time with the attorney who went to vintondale. The home of this excellent organ ization is at -138 Thirteenth etreet, New York city.

Love has tialn tsktn lilt Itnce In hand snd It Jousting sgalntt the promiscuous giving of medu-lne. especially in the south, end to chil dren. Medicines have their place In the cure of disease, but nine times out of 10 when they ere uted they are l' rt out of place. The avert it acute Illness will tub tide and the procest of subsiding will not be htttaned by ttking medicine Indiscriminately. I gather from Dr. Lovt't tttte ments thut ht would throw tht ordi nary houtehold medicine ctblnet In to the fire, tnd ht would havt about two-thirds of the physicians' visits In advice and counsel, but without measuring out any powders, doming any pills or writing a prescription for any medl-lne. For calomel he hat a kindly word, even though this drug it greatly overueed. He tayt tht southern people sre great eutert of fat. In consequence, they are bilious. Of course, calomel has no special effect in ettrnng up the liver, but it does act on the uper intestine. Of course, it uptett the stomach and cnuset vomiting, but in tplte of that there aro timet when it doet good. Especially it thlt to among heavy fst eeters. It oocurs to my mind that to pre scribe a light diet free from fst, for a while, would be even a better plan. He thinks the people take far too much quinine. Ninety per cent of the sick people In the south get quinine at tome time or other during, the illness. . As a rule, those with malaria do not get enough quinine. They take it long enough to break-up the chills, but not long enough to cure the dis ease. On the other hand, of those who are given quinine, at least SO per cent are not benefited, and tome sre narmed. But, coming first in the list of harmful drugs, at customarily used, it opium. In the infections diarrhea of babies, and In the pneu monias, coughs and coldt of children and adults It it customary to give mixtures containing opiates. - Most home medicine cabinets carry a few. bottles of such medi cines patent and otherwise. The law still permits paregoric and ether medicines containing as much opium aa paregoric to be told to any and everybody, without having the facta aet for on the label. The temptation to cheek diarrhea by a dote of cholera mixture, or to restrain a cough by the use of a paregoric cough mixture, is strong. Pluriglandular substances and mix ed vaccines he also places in the list of frequently misused drugs. Cut Down Food, Not Water. N. M. writes: "Nearly all of the 'How to Get Thin' articles that I have read say not to drink water at meals. Some say drink little all the time. What about this? What in H20 could add to one's fatty tissue? Or does water with food make the food more easily absorbed? - If so, should the thin drink water with meals to fatten? . I "I am slightly overweight, so avoid fats and starches, but I do drink a lot or water, as I exercise a good deal." - REPLY. A famous German cure for obesity limited the daily allowance of water and prohibited drinking of water with meals. I presume the thought was that In this way there would result less ened absorption of food. Hawk proved that drinking a moderate amount of water with meals and within two hours after wards promoted digestion. - If you tend to become obese. limit your intake of food, but do not disturb your digestion by taking too little water. Clam Juice Benefits. Miss S. D. writes: "Please tell me what Little Neck claim Juice from east coast clams Is good for, If bene ficial. If so, should the Juice be hot or cold?' . T.EPLY. It is used as a filler, a flavored water, an appetizer, as it the case with other strained soups. It contains some mineral salts and a little food values of other kinds. Obey Law on Measles. M. S. writes: "Must a child re covering from measles stay Indoors from the day the rash appears until it leaves?'? , REPLY. Yet. Most laws as to measles specify that the patient must say in for a certain number of days after the appearance of the eruption. Thie It long enough to carry be yond the disappearance of the erup tion. Obey the law. Beach Baths Better. Henry writes: "Which are better, the baths at the beach during July and August or Turkish bath?" REPLY. Batht at the beach during July and August. Turkish baths meet a different need. . jBcird&wf.
