The Philadelphia Public Ledger lunges a prodigious jolt on the short ribs of the demo cratic body politics. The Ledger is strong for the' League of Nations with reservations, and does not like Harding's attitude toward it. At the close of a column expression of profound regret it delivers this solar plexus punch: But if he means that we intend, because of the failure of the republican candidate to take what we regard as the right attitude toward the League of Nations, to oppose the election of the. republican . ticket this autumn, he is mistaken. We are convinced there are far more vital principles to be safeguarded on this occasion by putting an end to the democratic regime in Washington and by barring out of the White House a chosen nominee of Tam-, many Hall and kindred plunder clubs than by confining our attention solely to the League of Nations which, as we said the other day, has ceased to be a practical issue in this campaign. v Those democrats who draw back in pained surprise because voters who may not be in en tire agreement with each and all of Senator Harding's views, or with every paragraph in the republican platform, do not immediately declare for Cox, and think the voters inconsistent be cause they refuse to rally 'round the interna tional flag, now know a potent influence that is wrecking their hopes. It is the general con viction that nothing would justify them in con tinuing the democratic party in control of na-, tional affairs. For every reason that can be' presented against Harding' election, there seem to be forty against Cox's. For every million ". dollars of campaign funds raised for Harding's election, there , are $500,000,000 of the people's money wasted by the Wilson administration to bid the voter pause. The tug on the voter's judgment runs fully 90 per cent in favor of Harding, when there is a summing up of arguments and statistics. The democrats can no more escape f his existing con dition than they can suspend the law of gravity, -or control atmospheric conditions. Indeed, it is in the air, and the plain fact is that Wood row Wilson put it there by his arrogant, selfish, meanly partisan and unprecedentedly wasteful and autocratic administration. The people have had all they want, and more than they want, both of him and of "his'n." A change is what they are after, not a shift from one democrat to another, and the straight road to it is through the election of the republican ticket. The big and real issue of the campaign is not the candidacy of Harding or of Cox. It is whether republicans or democrats shall admin ister our national affairs. After nearly eight years of democratic experimentation plain, trimmed, fancy, visionary, foreign and domestic, the current runs irresistibly for a radical change. And thaK genera! desire will rush over every possible obstruction the democrats may set up. Neither speeches, nor changes, nor money, nor promises, can stem that tremendous tide. Making Nature Do Stunts. ' When Bin-bank produced the spineless cac tus, crossed the cucumber and the cantaloupe, bringing forth the casaba, and achieved a va riety of other wonderful transmogrifications of fruits and vegetables, folks thought the limit had been reached. Here comes, however, a Boston botanical sharp with a stoneless peach; the fruit resembles, a Georgia peach on the out side, but has no stone inside. This means there is, no limit. When one recalls that originally each kernel of Indian corn had its separate husk, and thinks of what has intervened since then in order to make possible the present day Nebraska ear, which holds at least half a peck of shelled corn as well as a cob as big as a man's forearm in a single enfolding husk, some notion may be had of how nature's ways have beeen improved upon by man. The pitless peach is an attractive promise, but one discon certing, thought-intrudes in this connection. If we do raise such peaches, what will we do for charcoal to fill the gas masks when the next big war comes? Thus, you see, every rose has its thorn, but, just as the kick has been ex tracted from beer, so perhaps may the regret be eliminated from the pitless peach. It is worth trying, anyway. Cure for Snakebite. News from Texas may be disquieting, but is worthy" of notice, just the same. A boy, bit ten by a rattlesnake, relieved himself of the im minent danger by drenching the wound with kerosene. Thus the world is provided with a new hope, for, just as the old fashioned remedy of firewater copiously applied internally is dis appearing from the ken of the ordinary mortal, the substitute comes as a benison. Kerosene is within the reach of all, usually, and qught to be just as efficacious as whisky against the effects of a visitation from a "sidewinder."' Even more so, for, as a matter of iconoclastic fact, whisky really is a menace in case of snake bite. Its only possible benefit comes in the way of 'stimulating the victim against the shock oc casioned by the attack, and this is in a large measure offset by the increase in circulation jf the blood, due to the effect of the whisky n the heart's action, thus ensuring the more rapid dissemination of the virus through the lystem. Antidotes ior snakebite are many, the most reliable being some form of alkaline prepara tion easily applied, such as ammonia, permanga Mu pi potash, pr something similiar, When bitten by a poisonous snake, the first move should be to cut the wound open transversely, to induce free and even copious bleeding; this prevents the poison being taken up into the circulation. Then ligate the member between the wound and the heart, binding tightly enough to stop all arterial or venous action. Alternate ly release and renew the pressure; that the ciry culation may be slowly established, and to per mit any of the virus fhat remains in the wound to be assimilated a little at a time. If needed, light stimulants may be given to, sustain the heart action and to overcome the effqsJ of shock. This relief may be applied in the absence of a doctor, but if one is available, his services -U-..IJ 1 J It ! , T. auuuiu uc acturxu as quicmy as possible, t rompt and heroic treatment is necessary to avoid fatality from snake bite. Cox's Impudent False Pretense. Mr. Cox's campaign tactics so far seems to be those of an unscrupulous and blatanj: politician. I hey give little indication of having originated in the brain of a statesman devoted to his country. Rather they are an attempt to substitute false issues for true, to turn the thoughts of the people from the Wilson admin istration and its "solemn referendum," to a hy pocritical fanfare on grossly exaggerated cam paign funds, mixed with a deal of unmitigated falsehoods. In a recent speech in New York Mr. Cox said: I know many men are making contribu tions for the purpose of using the bayonet to settle industrial difficulties. It is said this statement, uttered without a scintilla of evidence to justify it, was received m silence by the 2,000 democrats who heard it, and perhaps understood how incendiary it was. With the democratic organization quite as de sirous of a campaign fund of three or four mil lion dollars as the republican, and more un likely to get it because the people are against the continuance of Wilson's policies both at home and abroad, Mr. Cox charges an attempt to "purchase" the presidency. Does anybody between the, Atlantic and the Pacific who is fa miliar with Cox methods in Ohio doubt for a moment that the multimillionaire candidate of the democratic party woul hesitate to buy the election if he really thought it could be bought? It is out of the desire in his own heart that he draws his charges, and signs are not lacking that iu the great journalistic debate now going on Mr. Cox is getting the worst of it and is conscious of the fact. . It is not the intelligent vote he is now playing for. Nobody will be able to understand the Cox campaign who does not understand that lie is essentially a Tammany Hall politician, that his political successes in Ohio cities have been won by Tammany Hall methods, which have in cluded servile devotion to the saloon, the brewer and the distiller. "Like seeks like" isfpolitics as elsewhere. That is why Murphy and his Tam many heelers, Tom Taggart of Indiana, and Brennan of Chicago sought his nomination after making terms with him. It also explains the remark of a man who had a drink or two ahead, who noticed The Bee's bulletin board when Cox took the lead in the balloting. He said: "Cox is wet. I know he's wet." Another man standing near said: "I'll say you're right. I sold whisky out of Kentucky in Cox's town." A Life Saving Decision. Public opinion and justice spoke with one voice when Judge Alexander C. Troup refused comfort or relief to motorists found guilty of driving while intoxicated, in district court Sat urday. Particularly wholesome respect for the laws protecting other motorists and pedestrians will be aroused byihe addition of ten days to the original sentence of a drunken driver who ap pealed from the sentence of fifteen days given by the lower court. When a man appeals, it is with hope of short ening or entirely lifting the original sentence. Once the feeling arises that an appeal may bring heavier punishment in "flagrant cases of vio lation of the traffic rules, anew idea of the ser iousness of mixing alcohol and gasoline will be developed. It has been shown now that the police do not stand alone in the effort-to eliminate perils of the streets. The unyielding stand taken by Judge Troup may well result in fewer accidents. We little know whose lives he may have saved, and the whole city owes him gratitude. Rhode Island Champion Piebiter. Old-timers who can recall the "One Hun dred and Twoth" Rhode Island regiment of vol unteers will not be surprised at the infprmation that the state has produced a champion pie eater. A 16-year-old girl stowed away eleven generously constructed blueberry pies, and won a $10 prize for so doing. Such gastronomic capacity deserves, even greater recognition. It is marvelous, in these days when pit is pie, and the cuts are smaller while the cost is bigger than ever, that so expensive a form of indul gence should be tolerated. " Also, we can con ceive that the young miss had so long been de prived of her normal ration of the traditional New England breakfast food that she was raven-"TbeRinK, ous, and, spurred on by the thought that she might never again have such a chance, she sim ply laid herself out to see what she really could do. Gargantua himself scarcely could have done more to reduce the visible supply of blueberry pies, and "Little Rhody"' may again proudly point to a "big" thing done in her name.

This morning when daylight had come and the mosquitoes had left off I thought I would get some sleep be fore, breakfast time, but the flies took up the day shift. I concluded I would find the trou ble. I took a rule and, laying It against the fly screens, counted the number of meshes to the linear inch. I found 12. Twelve-mesh screening will not stop mosquitoes. The screening must be 16-mesh, and no body says less than 14. A hungry mosquito will go through 11-mesh screening without mirth hesitation. In fact, 11-mesh screening is not supposed to stop flies if the food line is strong or if the rain on. cod makes the outside air unpleasant. Examining tho screens.v I found there were all kinds of , places through which flies or mosquitoes could crawl. The frames of the screening did not fit tho window and door frames closely enough to make these openings flyproof. Maj. Gen. Gorgas, and no one was better qualified to write on this point, in his book, "Sanitation in Panama," always wrote of "skilled carpenters trained for the purpose" as being a necessity for proper screening. I am thoroughly con vinced that the ordinary carpenter cannot or will not make a window or door frame that is true enough to fit a screen frame into or that the screen makers cannot or do not make a frame that can be accurate ly fitted into tho opening for which ' it was intended. Our screens are all new. What will happen when., holes have been punched in them is another matter. The neighborhood is not a bad one. There are very few stables within a mile and very little stagnant water is found to furnish a breeding place for mosquitoes. There are no infected persons to infect the mosquitoes with malaria, and the great scarcity of typhoid fever means that the flies are not in fected with typhoid fever. There are few babies in the neighborhood and this cool summer few have had diar rhoea. Therefore, the flies are not spreading much infantile summer complaint. The weather is moderately warm and not for months will 'the flies be under the cool weather urge of getting -indoors. There is no ques tion of. disease involved. There is nothing to it except the comfort of a bald old man who does not enjoy sleeping with his head under the cover. "" How To Fight Worms. E. M.

At the Cross Roads By LILY WANDEL. (From International Feature Service, Inc.) Stella knew, as Oswald Lautrellc's $5,000 racer glided noiselessly, gracefully in front of her home, that every eye on Ferry street watched her. Behind every starched lace curtain lurked an eager, awe-inspired feminine face. Though it had not yet been announced to Oswald's world, everybody on Ferry street knew the astounding secret that they were-engaged. "It's been a wonderful day. Good- by, said btella softly. "I knew it would turn out this way and you were such a pessimist Confess vou like Mater and the girls, eh?" Uh, they seem to adore you. Oswald, she avoided tactfully. "And you too. Weren't they just fine?" "They..could not have been nicer,' answered the girl swiftly, "and now good night! Good night! Ring you up tO' morrow, dear girl!" " Has Trying Day. Stella ran lightly up to her littl room and hinginc oh her hat an wrap threw herself exhausted over the bed. It had been a trying day this meeting Oswald's people. She had nerved herself up to it for days ahead and now it was over. Oh they had been kindto her, very gra cious, very nice, all iqr uswaia ; sake she lelt that. He had in structed them, perhaps pleaded with them. Oh, they had been so correct and everything had gone off so smoothlv. As if there had never been the slightest objection to her which she felt there must have- been in spite of Oswald's assurances to the contrary. She was glad it was over, dreadfully thankful, and wishc there were no more ordeals ahead of her. His mother and sisters were going to call on her own mother, and she dreaded that, mainly because it would embarrass her mother, throw the entire family in a panic. Getting cnoraeed to Oswald had been thrill ing, but she had not counted on all the natural consequences that would .follow. It was remarkable that she Stella Harris, a little nobody, should inspire love in this wealthy young aristocrat to such an extent that nothing would suffice except mar riage. Looks to Future. She sitrhed half blissfully, half anxiously. Maybe today was just a taste of what lay ahead of her, a series of ordeals. It would be the nrirp she would have to pay for marrviiiE' out of Ferrv street. When thp hoiievmobn would be over there would be his motner ana sisters anu all his friendsto please or at least not to offend. 1 hey naturally wouia be on the "qui vive" for her to make a misstep of some kind, mere wouia always be that feeling of tolerance w "icnV-ir ffonrl of vou to be nice to me, Stella Harris of Ferry street."

Her father and Terry's father were chums and the two mothers chatted with each other over the feilte every day. How delighted the Burns would be if she were to marry Ter ry! They would only be too willing to cater to her, adore her! Hears Her Heart Thump. Stella's breath came in little freightencd gasps; she held her hand over her thumping heart. She was at the cross roads; it was not too late to choose the right way. With a quick motion she smoothed her hair and hurried downstairs into the little yard. "Hello, Terry," gaily, "how's everything?" "Great! And how's the world treating you these days?" Stella ignored his question with a little laugh and "I don't see much of you lately, Terry, what have you been doing?" , , "Pretty nice things, I'll say.

Stella, I want to tell you something I can't keep it a mo ment longer." Stella swayed gently nearer, she did not care to raise her eyes. "Please Terry, tell me, I'm waiting." 'Tin going to ask the dearest lit tle girl to marry me, Stella. You know who she is, don't you. Little Gertie Moyer! Remember how I used to make her jealous by taking you out once in a while. And all the time I loved her so it , hurt, Stella!" "I'm so glad, Terry," Stella man aged to choke out after a few sec onds, "I want you to be happy! Ex cuse me, now, they're calling for supper!" She stumbled into the little dining room, greeted by an avalanche of questions concerning her after noon. 1 "I bet you did not have the good time I had.at that," wagered Dad, pinching his pretty daughter's cheek.
