From an Article by Charles Phelps Cushing, In Leslie’s Weakly. If history should repeat itself, as It has a way of doing, it is quite possi ble, for example, that for tbp next 40 years, beginning with the presidential campaign of 1924, only one candidate without a military record may suc ceed in getting residence in the White House. And the officd of the presi dency is chosen here only as the most conspicuous token of the governmental Influence that a powerful association of war veterans can wield. “Absurd!” you think? Particularly in a pacifist nation? But it happened once before, and not so long ago. It also might happen again if the American Legion should choose to emulate the G. A. R. So let’s suppose. For the moment let’s try to forget all party labels and personal likes and dislikes—for' the writer has no purpose here but to suggest a par allel from history. What would you say to the possibility of such a presi dential succession as follows: V General Pershing .. „.tym term* General Wood. ......one term General Edwards . .one term General Dawes...one term A Civilian .».on* term U. S. Grant, 3rd ... one term That Civilian again. one term A DouBhboy Major.two term* « A Cavalry Colonel .......two term* That fanciful parallel, as you soon shall see, is drawn cloudy from tho records of the line of presidents of the United States for the 40 years from 1868 to 1908. The presidential administration immediately following tho * close of the civil war found an ex-state governor, who never had served as a soldier, sitting In the chief executive’s chair. “Even as today”—but one hes itates to draw the parallel between Andrew Johnson and Warren Harding any closer than that. Mr. Harding, good natured as he is, would have a perfect right to protest. Note next that from the close of Johnson’s administration until 1908 there were 12 presidential inaugural ceremonies. Ten times in those 40 yeara the oath of office was taken by war veterans. The one man who succeeded in breaking through that long succession of ex-service men was Grover Cleveland. No one else, in that 40 years after the war, became president without tha support of the G. A. R.—an organization which, at the crest of its enrollment (In 1890) numbered only 409,781. This total, please note, Is less than half the present strength of the young American Legion. Hereinafter follows, if your memory needs refreshing, the list of presidents of the United States for those 40 years: Ulysses S. Grant, general of the armies of the United States: two terms. Rutherford B. Hayes, brigadier (brevet major general) ;«ne term. James Abram Garfield, major general; one term. Chester Aian Arthur, Quartermaster general; one term. Grover Cleveland, civilian; one term. > Benjamin Harrison, colonel (brevet brigadier general); one term. Grover Cleveland, civilian; one term. William McKinley, captain (brevet major); two terms. Theodore Roosevelt, colonel; two terms. So perhaps our notion of the potential political power of an organize; tion of ex-service men is not so silly as it sounds. KEEPING FEET WARM. From tjie beginning of winter until the tnilder weather of spring a fairly largo part of the people will complain of cold feet and hands. Among these will be the old, who will be told that their thick wall blood vea «els cannot carry enough blood to their extremities to keep those members warm, or that their hearts have not enough force to keep an ample supply of warm blood In the suburbs. Among them will be some who are said t-> be cold nalured, and, lastly, there will be a group who have Ray naud's disease or some cousins of that disease. There are some people whoose blood vessels are enough diseased to cause cold feet, but they are very few. There are others with heart disease, who have mottled skin on their ankles and some dropsy of the legs, and they clearly have a right to complain of cold feet. But the great majority of those who complain of cold, feet and hands are troubled because of vasomotor disturb ance. There are nerve cells and nerve fibers which enlarge lessen the size of certain blood vessels ana In that way settle whether more or less blood is to go to the head, the liver, the feet, or the hands. Wherever more blood goes, there heat will be. Wherever less blodd goes, there will be relative cold. When it comes to the matter of com fort the vasomotor system has more to do with conditions than all else com bined. Unfortunately, we know far less about influencing this vasomotor apparatus and, therefore, determining comfort, than we do about controlling consump tion and wiping out yellow fever. However, there are a few simple pro cedures which we know help in keeping the feet comfortable in cold weather, and at least one acts through tho vasomptor system. If the feet are disagreeably cold, we can warm them up by exercise, or by breathing deeply. Thirty deep breaths, one right after the other, will warm up the feet and hands, and make the face turn red. Unfortunately, old people sometimes complain that this exercise makes teem dizzy. Stamping the feet, walking fast, or running Is effective. This exercise must be kept up to be effective. When the heart begins to feel the effects, there will be an Impulse to stop, but this must not be followed, since Just this feeling Is proof that the rem edial forces are turning up. In the discomfort from cold feet which old people feel, the lack of force of the heart and the thickening of the vessels Is less of a factor than is deficiency of grease in the skin. Greasing the legs, feet and hands will go a long way toward making old people comfortable In cold weather. It took the world war to teach us the value of grease for old or young In keeping the feet warn: In bitterly cold weather. To prevent trench feet, Barratte had the men dip their shoes frequently in warm grease. They were required to unlace th-ir shoes for 16 minutes twice dally. The Italians prevented and cured chil blains by wrapping the feet in a mixture of 93 parts pure tallow and four parts pure lard, to which was added seven parts of a mixture of one part salicy^c acid, three parts aspic essence, three parts oil of lemon and five parts lard. I.eonard Hill says that frozen feet should not be quickly warmed. They should be kept elevated, uncovered, cool and free to move. A The Deemster’s Oath. From the Christian Science Monitor. C. T. Cal'ow and F. La Mathe, on their recent appointment as deemsters of the Isle of Man, took the following oath: "Bv this Book and by tjie holy contents thereof and by the wonderful works thgt God hath miraculously wrought In heaven above and In the earth beneath In six .jUys and seven nights. I swear that I will without respect of favor or friendship, love or consanguinity, or af finity, envy, or malice, execute the laws of the land jdstly betwixt our sovereign lord the kir.g and his subjects within this lalo as between party and party as in differently as the herring bone doth lie In the mldd'e of the fish.” The wording appears quaint In the present day, but, looked at dispassionately, there are points In it that could not be Improved upon. It at my rate shows that those who drew It up had some knowledge of the pitfalls that were to be voided by peoule in authority. Organized Bigotry. From the Chicago Tribune. About a month ago the House if Representatives, at the Insistence of tihe Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, congressional lobbyist for blue laws, passed an amendment to the postal laws which would deny the use ol jhe mails to any publication of any kind or any mall of any kind containing tips or betting odds on any contest of speed, strength or skill. The House of Representatives passed It. but less than a fifth of the member ship was present and no previous con sideration had been given it In either committee or on the floor. Mr. Crafts Is watchful. The opportunity was pre sented. Representative Walsh offered the amendment and after a few words of discussion it was adopted. The Senate judiciary committee has hung the amendment up, deciding to put It over until next session, and Mr. Crafts and his supporters are angry. In this particular case It Is the method more than the objective which causes protest. The government properly regulates the use of the malls against forms of gambling, such as lotteries, but the Rev. Mr. Crafts would make the regulation a tyranny. It would be Impossible, except In a whisper, for a resident of Columbus, Ohio, legally to tell a resident of Urbana, 111* that Ohio State was a two to one shot over the University of Illinois. If that were writ ten in a letter the person writing It might be given five years In the peni tentiary and $5,000 fine. It is beginning to appear that the movement led by Mr. Crafts is as bigoted and as savage In its purpose as those which we thought were buried In the semtbarbarous past, Henry M. Butzel and Levy Mayer, bloodhounds of the law, discussed terseness. "In these days of worry,” said Butzel, "our clients are terser than we are. A silk man appealed to his banker, almost weeping, ‘the silk business Is terrible. You must let me have more money.’ The bank er replied, ‘not a dollar, you are into us too deep already.’ ‘Were you ever In the silk business?’ the silk man asked. ‘Never,’ replied the banker. •Well, you’re In It now, goodbye.’ Bankers will see the point. Many are In a dozen businesses and they wish they were not. A drop of $1,000,000 a month in the postal savings banks of big cities is a bad sign. For that kind of saving, as Postmaster Hays well knows, is the most important In the country. It comes from the most careful class and from those that have absolute confidence In their government. And It Is a saving made In spite of all possible discouragement. The government, which has hither to thought more about private own ers of banks than of the saving peo ple, has done all that It could to dis courage Its own saving bank. Mr. Hays will change that situation, if congress will let him. Adrian, Mich., will decide this question: What shall be done to a woman guilty of killing the new born child of her unmarried daughter, to save that daughter from disgrace? That will figure in birth control discussion. Those advocating birth control will say it would have saved the mother of the young woman from a trial for murder. Those that op pose birth control say, which is true, that an occasional trial for murder, however distreoslng, is not as bad as legalizing a system that would make immorality safe by removing a conse quence and penalty established by Providence. The Question of course is: Would Immorality spread if fear of conse quences were removed?. To answer "yes” Is not to put a high estimate on woman’s charac ter.

COTTON CROh IN AUSTRALIA Show* Fin* Staple In Pod, Though Growing Almost Wild In tho Northern Territory. Cotton in Australia has been found Bhowlng a very fine staple In the pod, though growing almost wild in the northern territory. Queensland Is leading the way thoroughly and well in this matter. Expert and official opinion holds that a large portion of Western Australia is as suitable for cotton production as Queensland. Queensland Is setting the pace. Last year 7,000 acres were under crop; this year the area is estimated between 80,000 and 100,000 acres. In two of Its subtropical districts 3,000,000 acres are being opened up under the cotton pro pects and 200,000 acres In another. The government Is guaranteeing a mini mum price of 5^4d (11 cents) per pound for seed cotton. If cultivation responds the guarantee holds good for three years. The British Australian cotton association is helping with the erection of 48 ginneries. America de mands more cotton; Great Britain is hungering for it. The world is look ing for It. If Germany restores her prewar Industry, then clearly the world’s demand for some considerable time will be far ahead of the supply. Here is another golden opportunity for Australia.—A. S.
