Palmer has completely earned the blistering excoriation he received. His pur suit of the democratic uomination for the pres idency lias led bini' into strange aiifc ''devious ways, far from the useful purpose of his office,, and with such results as have muddleHlVtead of clearing the public situation. This is said with all due regard and a vivid recoJJection. qI the truth that a year ago Mr. Palni wasp thV object of a vigorous quest by a murderous band of anarchists. . Whatever reasonable steps he took to defend himself and other; eminent victims marked for slaughter by the terrorists had and still have approval of all right thinking people. ! ; The campaign against the profiteers, institu ted by the Department of Justice, has been i': miserable failure. Every move has been tof lowed by another boost in prices. Sugar pirates Have boldly flouted the officers of the law, and; only within a few" days the attorney general himself lojd the Lou'siani planters hi would; not" consider 17 cents-a pfeund; an unfair.; minimum price for raw sugar. Eight months, ago. he might have advised the president to puirhase the entire Cuban crop at 6'2 cents a pound.! He then demanded more law, and congress passed the McNary bill, after strenuous opposition from the democrats, but the presidents remvn ably acting on advice from the attorney -Feiiera!,' declined to put thejaw. into effect, although as late as January 6 ofethis year -v cablegram was reenved by Senator McNaryfrom President Menoeal of -Cuba, stating that . a large partf the Cuban crop . was still . available . for .American purchase. ; ' - The record shows that the JDepartment of Justice, hunting anarchists and profiteers vith a brass band, deliberately- placed into ;the hands of the sugar bowl gougers, while the cry of terror has c one more to arouse class distinction and hatred tfian any other one thing that Sver occurred in Ahiedca. ;fhe stricture's tjrteVecf, in' the house were1 mild in comparison to the con demnation deserved. , . ..,v- - .. ..

Omaha, he added, is destined to have half a million population within the next twenty years "(air increase of 100 per cent), and now leads all the cities in the world in manufacture of butter; and is second only to Chicago i in the packing house industry.

'American., ifoney is much sought after in England, so much sb .that 8,000 tons cf it, worthfjve aud a half million" dfcllars, have been shipped there in a single year. During the war the demand was lively owing to the shottage in sugar, and Englishmen enjoyed something very god they had never tasted . before. - The. flavor and quality of honey depends largely on what the bees feed upon. At its best it is principally the nectar of clover and flowers; at its poorest it conies from sugars fed the bees by men-who make a business of sell ing it and" not eaWg it. But all honey has one excellent quality sugars have not. It is what the doctor's call an "inverted sweet;" that is, one which is ready for immediate digestion when it enters, the, stomach. Sugar is not, nor are any of the candies made from sugar. They must, all undergo a ;chemical process in the stomach before the juices of that active organ will take, them up. 'Wherefore honey is the most healthful of all sweets, and a true natural food. Literature fairly drips( honey. Perhaps the best 'known and most widely quoted of. all references to it, is the famous verse written on the fly leaf of a Bible belonging to a pitman in an English countyj V "-God made, bees, ". " ' Arid bees made honey; God made man, . And man made money; ........ Tride made the devil, , i t ' r And the devil made sin; ,"; '' So God made a coal pit To put the devil in. The Bible is full of references to honey. Jacob se'n down to Egypt ;to the man who .was his ,-long. ra6utned.son Joseph, "a little. honey;" the manna sent down from heaven during the exo dus. tas"ted."Hke'yafer made with honey;" there was a swarm of bees and honev in the carcass pf .the lion Samson had-killed with his bare hands, frorrj which- came the riddle in Judges: "Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the stron'g came forth sweetnessr" and John the Baptjsf's meat was "locusts and wild heney." ' Honey is a' food to be eaten with care. It is not wholesome with roast meat, and made tbc -bread of the -Jlebrews sour, but with milk or crearir'-or hot buttered cakes made with sour milk, it is most palatable. Dean Howells. Intellectual America has suffered a great loss in .the, death -of William Dean Howells, whose demise: is recorded in the news of the day. Readers' of the serious magazines and of the higher literature of the land have long been acquainted;, with this- man, and his faculty for expressing sober, sensible. thought in an attrac tive fashion. Commonly referred to as the dean of our novelists, he has a broader and sounder, claim to his title as one of the really great American writers. His fiction b?0'ught him dis tinction, and an established place in the estima tion of those who find delight in sound reading. One of a notable group who raised American letters to a plane of respectability and whose, activity established our literature as worthy of a place among the best. Mr.-.Howells will be even more regretted by those who have enjoyed his amiable comment on "matters treated by him in his semi-editorial or essayist capacity. His peculiar gift for making philosophy attractive, forrepressing Views and opinions, souml and ,wkrt 'the; support, of reason, yet entirely devoid of dogmatism and with due regard for the views and opinions of others, endeared him to many thousands who found even 'more meat and greater delight in his commentaries than hi. his' sustained works. Literature is the richer be cause -Howells thought and wrote, and America's culture-is-, the broader and deeper, because his work was always earnest. Mr. Wilson "Waiting at the Church." , "Everything which America fought for," said the president' ins his proclamation an nouncing to the people of the United States : the signing of the armistice, "has been ac " ompIished"" In bis message to congress "at the same time, he.

"Perhaps 23, or more years ago," M. vi rites, "there was considerable anxiety about a' .disease called 'milk sickness" In some districts of Illinois or south of Illinois. Of Jate very littlo is reported of it. Is it known by another namo now? Will you Rive a brief statement of it, its location, etc.?" Osier says of nilk sickness that it ceased to exist jus: as the study of it bcKan. Almost 200 years agq the first cases were reported from North Carolina. During the last 50 years more cases have been reportertj from Illinois than from any other section, though New Mexico seems to be another danger spot. While the disease is on the de cline it cannot be said to have dis appeared since Dr. Clay of Hoopes ton, 111., in 1914, reported an out break in his vicinity. His father, four other members of his family, one farm hand, and sevpral neigh bors died ot it,, and the, doctor Jiim self 'had iti" ' From time to time medical jour nals report cases occurring in men, and veterinary journals report cases occuring among the lower animals, tt is reasonably certain' the cause has been- established.

For subjects of the children's court he unc tions as a'friend and tries to pet them headed for some good and worthy end. He found a field of action in the recent war relief when all the world was staggering be neath its load of grief; for when a man has made his way and has; a leisure hour, it's possible for him to -be a social help and power or he may do as some have done and spend his time and pelf for sordid enterprises set and centered in himself. .

Your name will not be printed. Let The Bee Advise You. Inheritance. J. L. B. A man dies willing his property to be divided equally be tween an only child of a first mar riage and the second wife. There were no children of the second mar riage. The child dies at the age of 12. To whom does the child's share of the property revert? The man's parents are not living, so the broth ers and sisters claim the child's in heritance. Is this right? The step mother claims it belongs to her since she helped to accumulate the prop erty. Are the relatives of child on own mother's side entitled to any thing? Answer Under the facts as you state them, the stepmother is en titled to none of the child's estate. The statutory rule of descent under the Nebraska law which is applicable to this case;, is as follows: -"If the deceased shall leave no issue, nor father nor mother, '-nor sister 'nor brother, the estate shall descend to his next kin in equal degree, ex cepting that where there are two or more collateral kindred' in equal degree by claiming through different ancestors, those who are claiming through the nearest ancestors shall be preferred to those claiming through an ancestor more remote.' This rule cannot be applied to your case without knowledge as to who are the surviving relatives on both the mother's and the father's side, and their relationship to the de ceased child. Should you care give us these facts, we will then a vise whether the relatives on,, th mother's side are entitled to any thing, and if so, which of those rela tives are so entitled. wise. A man who smokes tobacco uses some of it to affect the tissues. Some of ' it is thrown off by the breath and skim : After swallowing , the poison, - an interval Of two to five-days elupses. Then symptoms begin.' The .temper ature is subnormal, the blood pres sure low, the pulse weak and fast. There is vomiting, a hot pain in the stomach, a very fetid breath, tremor of the tongiie is noticeable when no other tremor can be noted. One of the common names for the intoxication, for it. should be called that rather than disease, is trem bles. A horse that seems well, but is suffering from the disease, will be gin to" tremble when hitched up. A cow is noticed to be staggering along with i her head near the ground. On close inspection she is seen to be trembling. When the animal goes down, trembling and pawing are prominent symptoms. . It is said-that mules do not have !t. The explanation is that they are more indifferent to the sun on hot 4ava they are not driven to shelter by flies, they are more fas tidious eaters and will not eat the somewhat hitter weed called white snake root. , , Some Change Possible.
