Today Foolish Stock Brokers. Mars W ill Teach Ut. McAdoo's 400. $ ~i00,000.000 for Strikes. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ The stock market had a fainting fit yesterday because the bonus bill went through. Railroad and other shares fell, and .speculators had the blues. They showed similar lack of in telligence when they declared that the federal reserve plan would ruin everybody. The federal reserve prevents panics and has already saved this country from at least two old-fashioned “Black Fridays.’ Do intellectual gamblers that sell railroad stock believe that handing $100,000,000 to the soldiers in the coming year will diminish railroad travel and ticket buying? Don’t they know that every dollar given to the soldiers will go into circu lation and help business? Do they imagine that J. P. Morgan, Thomas F. Ryan and th« Vanderbilt boys buy all the railroad tickets and .keep prosperity alive all by them selves? { Sending photographs by wire is • nt last perfectly successful. _ This {will mean more to the education of .this earth than we can realize now. ■Merely gratifying curiosity or cap ituring criminals by telephotography Jon this little planet isn’t the im portant thing ■ What can be done here on wires ,can be done through the ether that {separates this earth from other vplanets in our family ( We shall get from those planets {radio portraits showing faces of •their strange inhabitants and radio “blue prints” from Mars showing us how to dig canals to store the .■waters of the oceans when frost, rain and attrition make this earth .perfectly round, leaving no natural {cavities to hold the water. ; l'f the earth were absolutely 'round, as it will he in a few million {years, the ocean would cover it {about a mile deep everywhere • We must know how to prevent {that. Mars, tens of millions of years {older than earth, will teach us by •radio { If that sounds preposterous, re member what you would have said ”0 years ago if you had been told ’.that a preacher in Chicago some •day would be heard in Los Angeles and New Foundland in the same (second | MeAdoo, it is said, has already {more than 40U democratic delegates. tThis indicates that he alone at this {moment has any chance to get a •two-thirds- vote, if his men prove • loyal. On the other hand, it is said ’that Mr. Cox, who once ran (very •gently), has arranged with Al Smith a scheme to eliminate Me Adoo early in the convention. The average democrat will he in j teres ted in the Cox-Al Smith plan S because it will alienate from the {democratic party the great railroad • and other labor support which be • longs to MeAdoo and that no one J el*e could bring into the campaign. r No man ever ran for president • ■-— with the labor following that Mc Adoo possesses. Republicans, democrats and in dependents may be interested in the statement, made on good authority, but not vouched for here, that La Follette will run as an independent republican unless the democrats nominate McAdoo, and will not run if McAdoo is nominated. The reason given is that La Follette believes McAdoo would get the big railroad vote upon which he, La Follette, would count, in an independent campaign. The national association of manu facturers was told yesterday that labor unions had recently lost 9 per cent of their membership. Only 20 per cent of workers that might be in unions being in them now. That may be, but the 20 per cent suffice to raise and keep up the salaries of 100 per cent of the work ers, thus building up national pros perity. It’s also said that strikes cost the country more than $500,000,000 a year. That’s serious and prob ably accurate. Let the prosperous class that weep about the cost of the honus see if they ran't do something to solve the strike problem that costs three times as much as the bonus and more. To maintain a constant industrial civil war costing $5,000, 000,000 every,10 years in a nation that denounce* international war is idiocy. Labor and capital ought to change that. In spite of bonuses and strikes there is money left. The great telegraph and telephone monopoly will issue 1,500,000 new shares of stock and the people will scramble to pay in the $150,000,000 at the rate of $100 a share. Ingeniously sold on the instalment plan this stock issue will strengthen a great crowd of stockholders, increasing the company’s support from the public. Here’s grief for the vegetarians. The juice of raw meat helps con sumptives to conquer the disease, gaining weight, by rebuilding mus cular tissues worn down by tuber culosis. Dogs artificially inoculated with consumption recover when fed on raw meat and die of the disease when fed on vegetables. Friends of consumptives should not attach too much importance to this announcement, but they should realize how much diet has to do in lighting consumption. Vegetarians, idealistic and spiritual, should real ize that the human body, especially when weakened by disease, re quires the food most easily as similated, which is meat.

PRESCOTT, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, after three years’ scientific research, says Coffee gives comfort and inspira~ tion and is the servant of civilization “It may he stated that after weighing the evidence, a dispassionate evaluation of the data so compre* hensively surveyed has led to no alarming conclu sions that Coffee is an injurious beverage for the great majority of adults, but, on the contrary, that the history of human experience, as well as the results of scientific experimentation, point to the fact that Coffee is a beverage which, properly prepared and rightly used, gives comfort and in spiration, augments mental and physical activity, and may be regarded as the servant rather than the destroyer of civilization.” This statement, coming from such an unquestioned scientific authority, will be a source of satisfaction and relief to every true lover of Coffee and estab lishes the fact that Coffee is a wholesome drink for the overwhelming majority of adults.
