THE METHODIST PREACHER.
. Perhaps because we have been much asso
ciated with Methodist families and j Methodist
preachers whose lat has been cast in small com
munities, we have a very sincere respect for
their professions and genuine sympathies for
their many perplexities and trials. ,
The Methodist prelcher deserves more chick-
en and gravy than he gets, more honor and
respect, than is accorded to him, more encour
agement and love than conies to him, and more
distinction than usually crpwnsvjim.
Consider what he gives up when he enters
the ministry. First, practically all hope of ever
accumulating enough" to guarantee . him or his
family comfort in old age. His profits ac
cumulate in heaven, not on earth. He dedicates
, himself to a life of self-denial, of rigid economy
, and of privation. He gives up all thought of a
permanent homo", of any little spot of earth
j he can call hisovn, and there dwell among his
chosen friends. . He puts hfs personal liberty
in charge of his church,, and at its command
"moves on" every year, or every few years, as
his bishop directs. . ' ' "
For the sake of his faith and his church he
submits patiently to more annoyances, more
. petty distractions, than any business or pro
' fessional man would think of standing. He be
comes gentle and yielding, not because he has
not every man's desire to exploit his individual
ity,,, but in order fittingly to adorVhis sacred
calling. His thoughts must always be of the
needs and troubles and weaknesses of others.
He cannot live for himself, or his family or his'
friends. His flock must always be his first
care the poor, the sick, the weak and the un?
ruly. The prospect he always has ahead would
be called wretched, impossible, by the majority
of men. But he goes bravely on through the
years, a target for the malice of the wicked,
a convenience for a multitude of the unworthy,
but always ready to serve humanity without
... j-hope of any adequate reward on earth.
We hear occasionally unkind words about
those Methodist preachers whose unusual tal
, ents command large salaries and fine pulpits.
Those who criticize them and say they are
in the ministry for position and for money
forget that as a rule their abilities would win
them five times the money and much greater
"honor in business or a profession outside the
church. Give the preacher a square deal. He
does more forX others daily than any of the rest
of us would do, wrapped up as we. are in our
own selfish plans and pleasures.
Who of us cannot say of some Methodist
preacher:
At church, with meek and unaffected grace,
His looks adorn'd the venerable place;
Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway.
And fools, who came to scoff, remain'd to

What One Woman Started. v
A woman's love of color gave an American
product the widest and mostvaluable adver
tisement any purely .commercial article ever re
ceived. Not 6nly did it spring into instant
fame in every city, town and ' hamlet in the
United States, but news of it was flashed to
every court in Europe, where kings, princes and
TJrime ministers discussed it with wonder.
Ofot only was the advertisement world-wide, -
but it has been continuous ever since-rin litera
ture, in newspaper editorials, in cartoons. And
this has been going on for about seven years.
The Bee's Washington correspondent tells how
it started. There was to be a state dinner in
."Washington given by Secretary Bryan. He had
notified President Wilson beforehand that he
-would not follow the custom of serving wines
at different dinners, and for the first and pos
sibly only time on record the President had told
a subordinate in his administration: "Usf your
own judgment."
Mrs. Bryan; of course, was decidedly inter
ested in that dinner and the, arrangement of the
table for it. When the dishes, glasses, silver
and other equipment were in place, the lady
wished a little more color in the scheme. The
reds, yellows and greens of wines and liquors
were to be absent, and in seeking a pleasing
.color grape juice was selected not because it
' . ... M - ..v. f-
was grape juitc, nor jci as a. Buuavnuvt vv
wine, but solely and only because it had a
color that pleased her idea of what was needed
on the table. Mr. Bryan himself told the story.
'The next morning the world knew it, and
grape juice was heralded wherever telegraph
wires and cables extended, that grape juice was
the substitute for wine used by the American
secretary of state at his official dinners. Im
mediately followed the experiences of diplomats
who had not eaten a dinner without wines for
years, the newspapers took the matter up, grape
Juice, Mr. Bryan and prohibition became inex
tricably tangled up together, and the manufac
turers of the product were on a smooth road to
fortune, with such a public introduction for
Iheir goods as no money could buy, thanks to'
Mrs. Bryan's teste in! colors.
them. This millionaire "friend of labor" did
just that. Are you surprised? Neither are we. As'
an in and out, here and there, yes today and no
tomorrow man, whose crooked trail leads to no
principle on any public matter, Governor Cox is
more than cjauld be desired.- - '
Make No Mistake About the Women.
The United States in the Wilson League of
Nations means American youth in uniform in
many foreign countries.
It means American boys in every war the
world over. '
It means multiplied instances of occupation
abroad such as Woodrow Wilson is now con
tinuing in Germany, where 18,000 American boys
in kliaki are held to police a small section of
German soil, instead of being at home where
they belong. x
It means American soldiers wherever danger
of sudden death looms up among a hundred
peoples over the globe. 1 v
It means anxiety and liereavement for every
American family that has a son in the army
or navy.
Our own wars bring us enough heart aches,
try the mothers of the land sorely enough every
20 or 30 years. The league would let us in
for all the wars of the world.
In the face of these facts the democratic
orators iiave the insolence to say "the women
are for the league." Don't you believe it The
women are for their own families and homes.
They do not want their sons to be shot and
bayoneted to keep Russia or any other foreign
land in order. They sy: "Go, rriy son; and God
bless and preserve youl" when bur own coun
try is attacVTed, but never will they consent to
have their sons conscripted to fight the battles
of aliens in foreign lands. Because the Wilson
League me&ns just that they will vote for their
safety and- against the democratic candidates
who seek to make our boys liable to foreign
military service.
Wilson fooled the mothers of the country
four yars ago. His understudy Cox will not
fool them this year.
. The women who know what the Wilson
League means are against Cox. who is for it.
-James M. Cox of Ohio.
A few years ago Governor Cox was in Con
gress. There he showed his "true inwardness"
on a number of matters. .
. " He voted "against the constitutional amend
ment providing for the election of United States
senators by the people. ' Yes he did. Actually,
ays a writer in the Sun.
Of 24 bills fjr the benefit of laboring men
cted on by Cqjigress he voted against 20 of
Banks and "Cattle Loans."
The appeal of the live stock growers of the
west to the Federal Reserve board for a more
lenient policy with" relation to loans to carry
on feeding operations-deserves attention. The
feeding of meat animals is a matter of prime
importance the world. It is not a speculative
venture, but, as stated by a member of the feed
ers' committee, is a warehousing operation. Feed
that is stored up in the form of fat cattle, hogs
and sheep is truly stored as if it were preserved
inbins. .
How extensive the process is the public does
not .fully understand. In Nebraska, for illus
tration, prior to the war, 75 per cent of the corn
crop did not get outside 'the county in which it
was raised, while 85 per cent was used in the
state. On the basis of the average crop for the
last ten years, this means that around 160,000,
000 bushels of corn is annually fed in this state
in the process of furnishing meat animals for the
market The only element of uncertainty thftt
enters into the industry grows from tTie market
price of corn and that of fattened animals. This
is not speculative in any sense of the word.
Large sums of money' are required to prop
erly finance the operation. Local banks have
carried feeders' paper for mJny, years, and the
business has been not only considered desirable,
but has been sought after as lucrative. Farmers
have engaged in it to some' extent, at least in the
matter of providing the funds by banking the
proceeds of their crop sales and seeing (the
money loaned on the 60, 90 or 120-day notes of
the feeders.
Nowhere has money been kept employed
more continusously or profitably than in the
food producing regions. To have the Federal
Reserve board shut down on these feeder loans,
or to put a prohibitive rate of interest on the
money, on the grounds of checking .speculation,
is to work a decided and unjustifiable hardship
on the greatest of American industries, that of
producing, food.
Brass Tacks on "Babe" Ruth,
You have to give it to the modern man of
science. Anything that gets away rom him
is like the "flu" bacillus, too small to be caught.
His latest feat is to analyze the effect "Babe"
Ruth has on the crowd a a base ball game.
Ordinary folks have blundered along thinking
that the fans cheer the home-run buster because
they admire tosee the ball sail over the fence,
propelled by a mighty swat Nothing of the
sort. Here is what takes place, according to a
nerve specialist: -
'When Ruth's efforts prove successful and
the ball sets forth on its home run flight, this
concept of anticipation is fulfilled and the
central nervous system begins to react at
once. The intellectual center sends an impulse
to the center of the emotions, and this in turn
sends an overwhelming impulse to the motivat
ing centers, causing the fans to act in typical
manner.
The cells of the body, however, are not
restored with a sufficient amount of energy
to take care of this emotional explosion.
Therefore, in order to provide the fuel re
' quired by the cells the sympathetic nervous
system overstimulates the endocrine substance,
which is located just above the kidneys, af
fects the insoluble glycogen in the blood
stream in such, a way as to' change it into
glucose, in which form the cells can use this
substance for new energy. Similarly, the
thyroid gland in the neck so affect the body's
protoid metabolism as to supply new pro
toid substances for those which are broken
down by the emotional explosion. In this
way the body is supplied with energy fuel just
as a locomotive must be supplied with more
coal when called upon suddenly for a great
effort.
We are yet left in the dark as to what hap
pens when the "Bambino" strikes out, a& he
now and then docs. The intellectual center of
course sends an impulse 'to the motional cen
ter, but it is not of the type to engender any
explosion. No anticipatory emotion warrants
the expenditure of much energy on "Fudge!" of
"Shucks P or other ejaculatory expressions of
mild surprise such as follow when the daring
pitcher sets the great fence-buster down. Still,
we would like to know how far the metabolic
reaction of the thyroid on the proteid is affect
ed under the circumstances reverse to that of the
home run.
Co worry over the republican campaign
fund fails to obscure the fact that the democratic
administration squandered $600,000,000 in air
plane construction and did not get one of them
to France.
The senate investigating committee has" de
cided not to call on Cox to testify How ter
ribly disappointed he will be not.

(From "John Murray III.," by his son.)
Mr. and Mrs. Grote were firm friends of my
father, and when the historian died Mrs. Grote
said, "Well, It is a fortunate thing that hi passed
away first, as I can now write his Life. This
she did, and her own personality and doings take
a prominent part in that work. The Amerieari
"Nation," In reviewing it, wrote:
"In reading this book we cannot but be re
minded of Addison's hymn:
Soon as the evening stars prevail,
The Moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening Earth
Repeats the story of her birth
for we find in it more about Mrs. thajr Mr.
Grote.
THIS John Murray III, was a publisher
worth knowing. When Sir Henry Layard re
turned from Ninevcth he offered to sell the
copyright of his book for 250 pounds, but Mur
ray, who believed that an author should not
part with copyright, offered instead to pay the
cost of publishing and give Layard the larger
share of the profits. The author's first check
was for 1,500 pounds. '

I drew some pictures with colored chalk,
And Teacher told me I mustn't talk.
When recess came and we leajned some games,

And lots of them seemed to be all right,
But one big boy tried to start a fight.

Bed-Books and Night-Lights.
(H. M. Tomlinson, "Old Junk.")
As the bed-book itself, should be a sort of
night-light, to assist its illumination, coarse
lamps are useless. They would douse the book.
The light for such a book must accord with it.
It must be, like the book, a limited, personal,
mellow, and companionable glow; the solitary
taper beside the only worshipper In a sanctuary.
That Is why nothing can compare with the in
timacy of candlelight for a bed-book. It is a
living heart, bright and warm In central night,
burning for us alone, holding the gaunt and
towering shadows at bay. There the monstrous
spectres stand in our midnight room, the advance
guard of the darkness of the world, held off by
our valiant little glim, but ready to flood In
stantly and founder us In original gloom.
The wind moans without; ancient evils are
at large and wandering in torment. The rain
shrieks across the window. For a moment,
for just a moment, the sentinel candle, is shaken,
and burns blue with terror. The shadows leap
out Instantly. The little flame recovers, and
merely looks at its foe, the darkness, and back
to its own place goes the old enemy of light and
man. The candle for me, tiny, mortal, warm,
and brave, a golden lily on a silver stem!
"Almost any book does for a bed-book," a
woman once said to me. ' I nearly replied in a
hurry -that almost any woman would do for a
wife; but that Is not the way to bring people to
conviction of sin. Her ideawas that the bed
book is a soporific, and for that reason she even
advocated the reading of political speeches.
That would be a dissolute act. Certainly you
would go to sleep; but in what a frame of mind!"

THE WILL TO
FIGHT
TYPHOID.
Dr. Victor C. Vaughan tells an in
teresting story of typhoid fever in
Belgium a story which proves that
any people can get rid of typhoid if
they are willing to take the trouble.
In July, 1914. there was an un
usual and threatening amount of
typhoid fever in eastern Belgium.
When the Germans swept across the
country droves of people fled before
them into western Belgium. In this
low-lying section drainage is poor
and water supplies are' far from be
inpr perfect. The people in the small
villages got their drinking water
from shallow wells. In addition to
the swarms of civilians, four armies
were quartered in the country.
The British army was fairly well
vaccinated against typhoid, but not
protected against paratyphoid. The
German army was"" not vaccinated
Uind had a lot of typhoid in those
eany monuis.
By November, 1914, typhoid was
very much in evidence in the French
army. Beginning around Belfort, it
swept through the French army
from the Swiss border to tho sea.
By January, 1915, the typhoid rate
In the French army had reached
7.24 per 1,000. They then began
vaccinating the soldiers and "purify
ing the water, and presently they
had the disease under control.
The water mains of Ypres were
broken in the autumn of 1914 and
the water tower was destroyed by
the summer of 1915. Could a bet
ter fcundation for typhoid be con
ceived? By autumn there were many
thousand cases of typhoid among;
civilians in and around Ypres. Then
tHe military took the situation in
hand. They cleaned out an old
swimming pool and pumped it full
of polluted water from a canal
This water purified by chlorine.
Religious objectors were drafted
by the army to serve as sanitary in
spectors and typhoid visitors.
House-to-house inspection located
6ll the cases of typhoid. Precautions
against spreading the disease were
thrown around these cases. Most of
the civil population, not suffering
from typhoid fever, were vaccinated.
Typhoid very speedily was brought
under control. Paratyphoid was con
trolled with greater difficulty, but
it' finally was-controlled.
What was done In Ypres and the
surrounding country should be ac
complished with one-fifth the effort
in any American town and the coun
try surrewnding it. In olden times
when armies overran a country they
left a flood of typhoid in their wake.
In commenting on thissuccess the
statement was made that the French
srmy typhoid rate was only one
eighth that of the civilian popula
tion in France.
Needs Little Diet Change.
W; J. H. writes: "I have a friend
who is 72 years old and is troubled
with high blood pressure. He has
cut out meat and coffee and lives
on vegetables, bread and milk. He
is not troubled during the day, only
just before going to bed and after.
What do you advise him to do? Will
you kindly let him know through
your column what he can eat that
will not hurt him? He seems to bo
hungry all the time."
REPLY.
He should keep his .bowels open.
There is no better Tet for' him
than the one he is taking. Prob
ably he should eat bran bread in
place of white, bran as a cereal,
sour milk, clabber, cottage cheese,
and buttermilk instead of sweet
milk.
A New Tuber.
The first carload of American-grown dash
eens recently arrived in New York. They were
grown on the east coast of Florida. Owing to
the limited quantities shipped to market at
present the vegetable, which is recommended as
a substitute 'for the potato in locations where
that crop can not be grown, is high in price.
J"he Trinidad dasheen, which is a particularly
fine flavored variety of the taro. is one of 46,000
foreign plants introduced into the United States
by the Department of Agriculture. It was
brought here in the .belief that it would yield
the south a tuber crop which could be used to.
supplement the potato. It contains 50 per cent
more starch and 50 per cent more protein than
the potato. Dasheen can not be grown in the
north, but thev are findino- favor among con
sumers in that section of the country. Dealers
in Washington and New York report that they
are having difficulty in meeting the demand for
the new tuber, even at the high prices. In

Grain' Shipper's Complaint.
- Hcrma, Neb.. Sept. 4 To tho
Editor of The Bee: Why is it .that
The Bee, the World-Herald and all
the other daily and weekly news-t
papers of the -country have not of-
fered any protest when congress
passed the law guaranteeing the
railroads 6 per cent net earnings
from the time the roads were turned
back to the various companies to
September 1, 1920, which has cost
the government $100,000,000 a
month for the last six months?
This, law, passed by a republican
congress and signed by a democratio
president, was the most colossal
steal in the history of this country.
It enabled the railroads to sit down
and not try to pay expenses, for the
simple reason that the government
would have to make up what the
companies failed to earn.
It was also the means by which
the railroads argued that they
would have to have an advance in
freight rates of 25 per cent In order
to pay expenses.
Tho indifference of the railroad
companies In not yying to handle
the business of the country has
paralyzed business in general.
I am in the grain business Ind
hero I sit day in and day out, with
an elevator filled to the roof, waiting
for cars which -are held back by
these soulless corporations.
Where is Governor McKelvle?
Why does he not get the attorney
general and the State Railway com
mission busy?
The country would be far better
off if a gperod many of our public
officials were given a mule team and
a dung fork and told to get busy.

letter urging the replacing of the

fourth street on the South Side, by
putting dowli cement walks, which
I Understand the city commission
ers have ordered done, much to
their credit.

vicinity of Forty-first and X streets
I found the, streets in that part of
the city in a deplorable . condition.
It is a wonder to me that the people
In that part of the city do not arise
in a body and protest against the
condition of the streets down .that
way. It seems to me that it would
be of more benefit to the city if the
streets were properly kept than to
be buying more play grounds all of
the time and filling up holes to
make parks 'out of.
I do not know who is responsible
for the condition of the, streets in
the part of the city that I have men
tioned, but whoevbr is to blame
ought to see to it that the streets
are placed in at least a passable
condition. Cut out some or the un
necessary expenses and make im
provements that are of general
public benefit.

What's in a Name?
Omaha, Sept. 9. To the Editor
of The Bee; I have often wondered
why the democrats i nominated
Franklin Roosevelt on their presi
dential ticket, unless theyhad in
mind the old fable of the wood
chuck and the skunk. The wood
chuck left his abode in quest of
some provisions. On his return he
found a skunk curled up In his nest
about to take a nap. Astonished,
he asked: "Who are you?" The
skunk arose in amazement and an
swered: "Me? Why,- don't you
know me? I am Mr. Woodchuck,
too." The woodchuck sniffed the
air with this reply: "You don't look
like one, and I'll be darned if you
smell like qne."
Wasv the nomination made to
catch Theodore Roosevelt's admir
ers, who nvght be coaxed into vot
ing for a relative? Perhaps as a
"statesman," he, like Bryan in '96,
is appealing to the passions and
prejudices of all classes. In his ad
dress to the teachers of Minneapo
lis ho advocated higher wages.
"Higher wages" tickles all classes,
to be sure. But what good io high
er wages do? There seems to be a
