. . Price Boosters
' Waahlffitea Paal 1
The peop e would be well pleased if President
V ilson should direct to the attention of congress
the evil of price-raising and price-fixing by
greedy monopolists and middlemen, individually
and collectively. There is no excuse for present
prices of necessaries. No shortage, over-demand,
transportation trouble, strike or other factor has
operated to give just cause for the prices de
manded. In some instances the rise results from
cornering the supply In other cases the inter
mediaries between producer and consumer tack
on inordinate profits, notably in the coal business.
All sorts of reasons for high prices are given by
dealers, but few, if any of them, will bear analy
sis. The commonest excuse is that high prices
are caused by the war in Europe. . But this doe.
not apply to the bulk of commodities, which are
not exported at all. or in such volume as not to
attect the home supply.
It is beyond the power of congress to reduce
prices all along the line, when gol5 is so plentiful
and labor is so greatly in demand. When dollars
are plenty they are relatively cheap, and their
purchasing power dwindles. This natural law
supersedes any law that can be enacted by con
gress. But when this law begins to operate dis
honest dealers take advantage of the trend of
business to boost prices without regard to the
real supply-and demand. These are the rascal,
who can and should be caught and punished. If
. he Sherman law cannot be applied to them, other
laws should be enacted which will catch fore
"filers hoarders and other monopolists. Almost
all of these dealers, are engaged in interstate com
merce and thus they can be brought under the
,'egulation of national legislation.
Renewing Submarine Issue.
Activity of the German submarine campaign
has developed the expected difference of opinion
between Washington and Berlin as to the mean
ing of the pledges made on behalf of the kai
ser's government. At the time of its publication
many commentators freely expressed the belief
that it would prove inconclusive, despite the op.
timistic views of the president that he had
brought about a definite solution. It now appears
that the Germans hold ideas quite different from
that entertained, publicly at least, by President
Wilson and his advisers. The sinking of the
Arabia, the Marina and the Palermo has brought
this sharply into view, and a new interchange of
notes is impending. The situation as developed
only serves to emphasize what was made very
plain at the beginning, that any rights neutrals
might claim would be respected only at the con
venience of the combatants. War is a very seri
ous business, and the nations engaged in it are
too busy fighting to spend much time in split
ting hairs or refining niceties of conduct that
they may be given credit with punctiliously ob
serving all the scruples that govern international
intercourse in time of peace. Submarine opera
tions will be carried on by Germany as long as
Great Britain and France dominate the surface
of the ocean as completely as at present.
A Health Crank Tells How
-Kaaaaa City Star-
How to Get a Home Rule Charter.
In connection with the discussion of a new
city charter for Lincoln, a suggestion comes by
way of the Lincoln Journal which may be worth
while considering for Omaha. While Lincoln
has not yet undertaken to qualify under the home
rule amendment to the Nebraska constitution, it
is evidently eager to profit from the experience
of Omaha's failed effort.
Our charter convention here set up as its task
the drafting of a new fundamental law correcting
the evils of the old one as far as possible and
reorganizing the whole city government. In so
doing so many different interests were neces
lrily antagonized by one change or another tha,
taken all together, they made ratification impos
sible and rejection left the city exactly where it
was before in respect to charter amendments,
namely, under compulsion to go to the legisla
ture for grants of authority which ought to be
obtained from our own people.
The point made by the Journal is that, while
a great diversity of view must exist as to the
particular points in which the city charter may
be improved, one gain, from adopting a home
rule charter is indisputable. "The calling of a
charter convention,", it goes on to explain, "and
adoption of the charter submitted, brings the city
unaer tne nome rule amendment to the constitu
tion. This means that thereafter the city could
alter its charter within the scope contemplated
by the laws of the state by its own free act. We
should then be done with dependence on legisla
tures for needed changes in charters. It would
be worth calling a charter convention if it did
nothing but submit the present charter word for
word. Indeed, that might be a desirable thing
to do, for then home rule would be the one issue
in the 'charter election and there would be po
quarrel over changes in the charter to becloud
any fundamental point."
The conclusion is of course that a charter
convention for Lincoln should be called if only
to put the city over on a home rule basis. From
Which fff follows that, 4 the- same process,
Omaha might submit and adopt its present chare
ter as a home rule document and then forever
after be responsible itself for all changes and keep
control of its own local affairs as against legis
lative interference. Nor would the acquirement
ot the home rule status be of advantage to us
alone; it would also at the same time relieve the
lawmakers of the constant demands on them
for charter tinkering and permit them to devote
their time and taleits to legislative subjects of
state-wide importance.
W. Earl Flynn has been called "the Billy Sun
day of the Health Movement." He has also been
described as the youngest old man in the world.
The voice which lightly spoke of eight-three
years was that of a man in the prime of life. The
face except for one or two deep wrinkles was the
face of a man of 40. The eyes held none of the
lusterless disinterest which commonly goes with
age. They were brighter than the eyes of the
average 25-year-old office worker. The shoulders
were straight, the face clean shaven. He comes
to Kansas Lity from Denver, where it is esti

promptly proved that he was still a long way
from the place in question by jackknifing at the
waist and putting his own hands on the floor.
"The chest expansion of the average man is
uttie more man two and a halt inches, he said.
"It should be five and a half inches at the least.
My own is ten and a half inches," and he pro
ceeded to prove it.
He was 41 years old himself before he started
on tne plan ot life which he is now preaching.
"It was in the rottenest kind of shape," he said
I was a gymnasium instructor, too. But I was
going about it the wrong way. It isn't only exer
cise that counts. It's the big proposition of get
ting the right kind of exercise.
"I had indigestion, and my weight was down
to 108 pounds. I had muscle, but it wasn't the
right kind of muscle. One. day it struck me that
I wasn't exercising the right things about my
body. I was big in the arms" he illustrated with
a doubling of his elbow "but I was weak in the
places where I needed strength most. It was
the inside of me that needed to be waked up
the stomach, the kidneys, the liver, the lungs, the
heart. Well, I took a brace. I cut down my
rooo. reopie eat too mucn, anynow. lhe man
that eats one meal a day is an angel; the one that
eats two is a human being, and the one that eats
three is a beast. I cut myself down to two.
"Then I started a series of the right kind of
exercises. I still use them every day, and I advise
everyone else to use them if they want to stay
young. Here's one." The knees of the man of
83 if that is it bent. He sat down on his heels
and sprang erect again. He did it a dozen times.
".Let the average man of 40 try that," he said.
"He'll be ready for the doctor when he's done it
the first 100 times. I've done it 2,000 without
stopping to make a record. Here's another."
He bent at the waist, and, holding his legs stiff,
put his face against his knee. It sounds easy, but
try it.
"Anybody that can't do that is on his way to
the cemetery," said the speaker. "It exercises
the muscles around the stomach. It puts strength
where it's needed. Another good exercise of the
same kind is to lie down and raise the feet to
right angles with the body, holding the legs stiff.
When the average man of 40 has done that a
dozen times he s ready lor the ambulance. I can
do it i,WO.
"How long does it take? Ten minutes a day.
Let a man adopt my system, give it ten minutes
a day, eat rationally and take care of himself.
He'll be as healthy as I am at my age. What's
life worth without some ginger and dcd? Look
at the thousands of people that are dragging
around waiting for a kind Providence to put them

Railroad Embargo on Food Shipments.
Action of three of the big central trunk lines,
declining to accept food consigned to eastern
terminals, may have an immediate effect on prices.
The abnormal condition has defied analysis, and
such inquiry as hastily has been made by the fed
eral authorities has served only to support the
statement made many days ago that enough of
our surplus food stock 'is held by speculators to
enable them to' control the market and establish
prices. Actual producers have shared but lightly
in the enormous increase in values. This makes
the service of the embargo just declared by the
railroads questionable. Prices in the west are
certain to go down as a result, but it is not sure
if the effect will be felt by the eastern holders
who have accumulated such immense stores of
food along the seaboard. The situation is just
now at its acute stage. Local boycotts serve
only to give vent to popular protest, but other
signs that a change impends are not wanting. A
break in cotton prices reported from New Orleans
of $5 per bale might be taken as indicating that
a turn is coming in the course of the speculation
that has taken such enormous tribute from the
American public within the last few weeks. The
railroad embargo will be a contributing but not
a controlling factor in this.
"Supporting the President."
A few weeks ago it was very essential that
our democratic senator be re-elected, in order
that he might give the president the support of
his vote, and thus secure the perpetuation "of the
policies and purposes to which Mr. Wilson is
dedicated. That, of course, was before election.
Since election Mr. Wilson has urged that con
gress speedily enact legislation that will en
large both the numbers and powers of the In
terstate Commerce commission, that it may have
control of the transportation question, and thus
relieve the country. And what do we find at
home? Our democratic senator disputing with the
late secretary of state as to which is the origi
nal champion of a proposition that is directly
opposed to the president's plan for railway con
trol. Of course, they're both earnest supporters
of the president, but the senator can do most,
for he has a vote, and he will probably support
the president just as enthusiastically during the
years to come as he did during the years passed.

Shortly after Alexander Graham Bell invented
tne teiepnone, unciejoe Cannon, then a young
memoer ol congress, was approached with a
proposition to invest $1,000 in the new project
to talk over an ordinary wire strung on top of
wooden poles, for $l,uw, he was assured, he
could be in on the ground floor of a great business
enterprise that was destined to revolutionize the
methods of communication the world over.
Just a short time before that Cannon had lost
a few hundred dollars in a scheme to convert
brass into gold by a new chemical process. So
he laughed heartily and slapped his thigh when
the telephone proposition was laid before him.
"I would much rather," declared he, "put my
money in something more conservative, I think
I'll go out lin the country and buy up a few
bee lines." ,)
A few days later Cannon had occasion to call
at the office of a young chap named Vail, who
was at the head of the railway mail service of
the Postoffice department.
"Mr. Vail is not in. He has resigned his
place," Cannon Twas informed.
"Resigned his place I" exclaimed Cannon, for
resignation from government jobs was almost
unheard of.
"Yes, he's gone with this thing invented by a
man named Bell. You know they claim they
can talk between different towns over a wire.
Vail invested some money in it and is going to
make that his business."
"Well, it's just too bad," said Cannon; "I
always like Vail. They tried to get me for a
sucker. I'm sorry it should have been a nice
chap like Vail."
He never saw Vail again until last winter,
when he attended a big dinner at the National
Geographic society in Washington. The guests
all around the table placed receivers to their ears
and heard the roar of the Pacific ocean at San
Francisco. Right near Cannon sat Theodore Vail,
the multi-millionaire head of the American Tele
graph and Telephone company.
"Blamed if it ain't a funny little old world!"
remarked Cannon.
It is, at that.

Why Rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather
(By Valentine Mott Pierce, M. D.)
A close connection exists between
these two cold, weather and rheu
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig of London
has the most followers in the medi
cal profession in the belief that the
presence in the system of uric acid,
or its salts in excess, is the real
cause of rheumatism. Every one has
recognized the difference in the ap
pearance of their water as soon as
it gets cold: there is often a ronions
sediment of "brickdust."
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the sys
tem, which, in turn, cause rheumatism
or gout, or creaky joints, swollen
fingers, or painful joints. For one
reason the skin does not throw off
the uric acid, by profuse sweating.
as in the hot weather, and the kid
neys are unable to take care of the
double burden. Another reason is
that people do not drink as much
water in cold weather as in summer,
which helps to flush the kid nevs.
Again, they eat more meat in cold
weather, and some people are so sus
ceptible that they soon develop rheu
matism after eating meat.
At all such times persons should
drink copiously of hot water, say, a
pint morning and night, and take
Anuric three ot four times a day.
This Anuric comes in tablet form
and can be had at almost any drug
store. It dissolves the uric acid in
the system and carries it outward. I
would advise everyone to take Anuric
occasionally, and continue for three
or four weeks, and in that way avoid
rneumatism, gout and many of the
painful disorders due to. uric acid in
the system.
Make yourself healthy and strong
by open-air exercise and diet. Then
cleanse the liver by occasionally stim
ulating its action with a pleasant lax
ative composed of the May-apple,
dried juice of aloes and root of jalap.
