SOME SIGNS OF THE TIMES.
The Department of Agriculture of the United
States gives out the statement that five of the
principal crops of the country exceed in quantity
and quality as well all previous records of production.-
Two of the biggest makers of cotton
prints announce a deep cut in prices on their
goods. A convention of retail clothiers informs
the world that prices on men's ready-mac!c cth
ing will be materially reduced. And, finally, a
judge at Baltimore, passing on a wage dispute,
informs a group of organized needle workers
that they .must give morcs in service for the
money paid them, as wages.
All this information in a single issue of The
Bee, and with it some other items of equal
significance and importance. This ought to
mean that the country really is getting hack to
normalcy; that the days of jazzing around are
at an end, and that from now on the "quid pro
quo" is tp come in for a little consideration m"
all business transactions. 'The idea of giving' as
littfe and getting as much as possible is disap
pearing, because-it is fallacious. Fancy prices
for merchandise, farm produce, wage?, or any
thing else that passes in the market, do not
mean prosperity; if anything, such a condition
In j8 sign of ill health, economically speaking.
It denotes a disturbance, presents inequalities,
some as great as to be hideous injustices, and
all together producing unrest, dissatisfaction,
friction and all the train of evils that emerge
whenever the orderly processes of production
and distribution are violently interrupted.
One of the axioms of economics is that the
more there is produced the' more thera is to di
vide; when nothing is produced, there is nothing
to divide. Whoever deliberately restricts output
forvthe purpose of maintaining its selling price
stands in his own light; lie drives his customer to
seek a substitute or to do. without Nothing
could more clearly illustrate this than our ex-
i j. ; imT to i .i. .....
penenge wiring ivw-io, wnen inc American
people voluntarily saved US.OOO.QOO bushels of
wheat from their already scant supply, in order
that ..the armies and people of our allies might
be fed A doctor of eminence in his profession
tells us we can do without sugar as a separate
food or condiment; that enough will be supplied
in other foods to meet the requirements of the
system. "These illustrations might be indefinitely
extended, but serve to outline the point.
All classes of Americans arc coming to
realize that thoe who adjured them to devote
their utmost energy to production were advising
them for their own good, and for the good of
the world. More1 production is being reported
in many lines, and it is likely that within a com
paratively shoct time the daily output will show
that America really is back at work. Prices
are bound to settle down, fluctuating from time
to tine, a"hd from point to point, but generally
seekingya lo-ver 'level. What is apparently lost
in unit profit will be compensated in volume,
and the balance will not be seriously disturbed.
Better days are not far ahead, if the present
signs of th: times are here read aright
. " 'Looks Like a New Deal.
One of the odd results of the surprising elec
tion just over is that nineteen republicans from
south of the Mason-Dixon line will sit in the
Sixty-seventh congress. This will make the s-cr-geant-at-arnis,
the vlerk of. the house. and4cr- .
haps some of the efiigies that mount guard in
the 'Hall of Statuar.y rub their eyes. Once in
a long, long time, a republican has broken
through the cor Jon and succeeded in gaining a
seat in congress from the .out!i. but it has been
so seldom that it has always been counted nj
a mistake and not n precedent. Now one short
of a score will line up from Dixieland, a tact
that might almost be looked upon as
presaging a new deal in politics. No rea
son exists for ' it being otherwise. , save
that the people down there just have
never contracted the habit of voting the repub
lican ticket. Once it gets to going, though, it is
likely to spread, and who knows but the time
t .1 I . . ...Ml t . - . 1
may come wnen me ueniocrais win oe rcquireu
to make an effort to carry their present strong
holds? To Ve sure, good republican doctrine j
doesn't fit in exactly with all the traditions and
practices of Georgia and Alabama, for example,
but the folks down there might like the idea,
fter they have tried it once or twice. The
present amazing spectacle perhaps will never
again be shown, but it is good to look at while
" it lasts. . '; '
Health and Nature.
Happy is the man who can return for a few
days to the natural habits of our ancestors
'through a camping, hunting or fishing trip. The
race did not always dwell in houses, nor dine
on 'elaborately prepared food. Governor Mc
Kelvie, in going out on a-game bunting trip
immediately after election, did what many of
us would like to do. , -
Some in the cities try to substitute a few
tninuics ncaun umi in uui luuma uc.ulc icuhuj$,
but this pill-like measure is not to be compared
with a day in the fopen. Gladstone chopped
'down trees. Li Hung Giang'when 80 years old
walked three miles daily around the courtyards
of his palace. William Cullen Bryant, upon
rising in the morning, swung a chair around his
head, took wand exercises with a cane, and then
.... h 4 e n, . t,:.
f Probabl.tepiost of us do not, attempt even
this much exercise. Whether children or adults,
all of us require some outdoor activity, whether
it be found in the garden or on the tramp.
Walking and running' are good exercises, and
less use of the street car probably would prevent J
much nervousness and weakness among women.
The younger generation, organised in such
groups as the Boy Scouts and the Camp Fire
girls, is getting a better start than its elders,
in many instances.
The Question of Tag Day.
'Tag day" as a method of obtaining funds
for charity is fast becoming very unpopular, and
yet no one has come forward with a counter
plan for obtaining the funds necessary to
finance the good work done by the various
organizations. The suggestion of an Omaha
bachelor that the ladies station themselves on
the corner with needle and thread and buttons
and offer to do mending while you wait, is,
while facetious, on the right track. Much, use
ful time is spent in the work of tag day that
might, if applied more directly to useful labor,
bring in an. equal sum.
The business of tagging men and women on
the street and soliciting stray dimes here and
there is not a pleasant one for any of those
concerned. There i a note of compulsion about
tag day that is distasteful to many, some of
whom arc, willing contributors to relief work.
Furthermore, no woman, old or young, really
enjoys the promiscuous associations brought
about by this street corner importunity. The
recent appearance of girls scarcely in their
teens on the downtown streets in search of
funds was not a healthful thing.
A correspondent of The Bee who recently
wrote in protest against the practice of tag
day voiced a senitment that is widespread, and
is not to be attributed only to those too selfish
to give. It is good for all of us to have our
charitable instincts called forth, and probably
none of us gives more to good causes than he
ought, but eventually some other way must be
found to touch the heartstrings and. the purse
strings. Mayor Smith, , in opening the subject
of an anuual budget for charity, has made a
suggestion worthy of consideration.
National Selfishness at Work.
The news that Great Britain, France and
Italy have agreed to a scheme giving each cer
tain spheres of influence in Turkey will not
tend to pacify the nationalistic revolt of the
Moslems. Neither will it add anything to the
general peace of the world. Special privileges
in Turkey mean that each of the three allies
will be free o establish preferential tariffs keep
ing out the goods of other countries, and to
make internal arrangements favoring the ex
ploitation of Turkey by British, French and
Italian corporations to the exclusion of enter
prises managed by Americans or other nation
alities. Trade barriers ( of this kind have always
been a fruitful source of international friction.
Under the leadership of Secretary of State Hay,
the open door policy in China, providing for
equal tariff arrangements with all nations, was
drawn up, preventing many dangerous conflicts
in the inad scramble for advantage that other
wise would have ensued. This same open door
policy was insisted upon by the United Statesi
in the Turkish settlement, but evidently in vain.
In contrast to this action are th wise words
of Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador to
America, in a recent speech before the Minne
apolis Chamber of Commerce. If the United
States or Great BritaiH were to begin to organ
ize areas of exclusive economic advantage, he
said, there "would inevitably come a clash of
interests that would at least strain the friendly
relations between the countries."
, This much is realized by all who have thought
on the subject of international trade and the ex
ploitation cf backward lands. The tripartite
agreement between the three European allies
presents a real danger to international good
will and understanding.
No Citizenship for Boptlsggcrs
The Bee is inclined to endorse the action of
the judge who deniedyntizenship to an applicant,
otherwise qualified, because of his record as a
bootlegger. Illicit peddling of strong drink
may not be the most heinous crime on the calen-
dar. but it is an offense against the law of the
land, and that it is indulged in to such extent as
to make the law seem ineffective docs not lessen
the fiagrancy of the violation of that law. Nor
is the action of the cojjrt to be construed as
meaning that the privilege of dispensing for
bidden liquor is to be retained as a sacred
heritage of American citizenship. The judge
undoubtedly felt hat a man who would violate
a law before he became a citizen might be de
pended on to violate another, and that clothing
him with citizenship would not set straight his
moral obliquity, but it could, perhaps, be im
pressed upon him that the courts at least respect
thc(law and will try to uphold its dignity, and
that -the police court is a mighty poor ante
chamber to the Temple of Liberty.
Tart of the new treaty between Japan and

SINGULA Ft INTUITION OF AN IOWA

Atty. W. E. Kahler had an accident
Tuesday which might have resulted in a

something wrong and retarded his speed.

need, nto one such of the humbler sort, we

city where enterprise is directed mainly to the
meeting xt a middle standard my friend and
I had gone, and now sat at one of those cold,
hard, comfortless sepulchral slabs, suggestive
of cemeteries, suggestive of bathrooms, sug
gestive of dissecting laboratories, suggestive of
many things the association of which with the
purpose In question is so unfortunate that one
wonders at the vogue f cold, hard, comfortless,
sepulchral slabs.
Choice was not the affair of a moment; a
card with so much on It, one giving, .by its proof
of what had been, such weight to "its- promise

amidst so much the besk might escape notice.
But for all the wealth of variety certain things
stood out: prominently featured, dishes of the
day, or week, were the Items, ox-tail soup, plg3'
feet with sauerkraut, boiled tongue. . . .
"Why." remarked my friend, absently, as
though thinking of something else, "why don't
they enforce the law against giving tips In res
taurants?" "Oh, well," I replied, more interested in the
play of light on the glimmering tables than
in what I was saying, "they. have a hard enough
time getting fm as it is. Haven't you observed
to what extremes they go to make ends meet?"
"Yes," he sighed 'wearily; "Ye?, it's simply
awful." '
Thereupon we ate our meal in silence, break
ing, I suspect, a tradition of the house, and
rushed to catch our train. I regret to say that

When i'eggy weeps, her rosebud of a mouth
Curves piteously with her young discontent,
And tears, like April showers from the south,

Her tiny hands, two pink and dainty flails,
Beat the air wildly, semaphores of woe;
And all the world Is filled with Peggy's wails,
And none there be who dares to say her no.

With feet in ah- goes cootngly to sleep,

SUGAR AND CHILDREN.
Pl-jase give your views," K. C. II.
writes, "on how much sugar, candy,
and preserves a child should eat evea
up to 16 years. What harm is likely
"to follow from too much?"
Sugar is eaten both as a condiment
and as a food. Asa condiment it is
objected to because it creates an arti
ficat mste which makes less highly
seasoned foods unpalatable. The
man who accustoms himself to soak
ing his oysters in sauce loses his
capacity to relish the insipid taste of
untreated oyster.?.
As a food sugar requires no diges
tion, being absorbed as sugar. -. In
the internal organs it undergoes
slight change until the time comes
to break it up into carbonic acid
and water with the liberation of heat
and energy. Or to transform it into
fat and as such store it.
As a food it is a heat and energy
producer, but not in any sense a
tissue builder. It protects the tissues
Just as oil in a lamp protects the
wick thereof, but It never can take
the place of a wick nor be built into
a wick. 1
There is a limit to the amount of
sugar which the body can use. One
way of testing the function of the
liver is to feed five to six ounces of
cane sugar or .hree ounces of dex
trose or one and one-third ounces of
milk sugar at a single meal and then
test the urine for sugar. The limit
of tolerance for sugar is quickly
reached in many people who regard
themselves as h-salthy and vigorous.
This clearly means that even as a
food, while sugar is a good thing,
it Is a good thing of which we can
easily get too much.
And now something about the
practical side of it. When McCollum
of Johns Hopkins was once asked
about sugar he iald:
"That is another one of the food
stuffs which is important as an ap
petizer. We do not need any sugar.
We would be Just as well off with
out sugar if the diet is properly bal
anced and well regulated. One year
ago we used 11 pounds of sugar
per person per year. Just before
the war we used 86 pounds. We
should use less sugar. Some of the
anemias are due to the use of too
much sugar."
Should children eat sugar, in
cluding candy and other sweets?
Children exercise actively. They do
much more muscle work in a day per
pound than adults. If they eat sugar
it supplies energv for thir muscles
and "their tissues are spared. So
much tor it.
If children eat sweets the cereals,
milk, bread, meat and vegetables
which they need for growth, health
and vigor all these necessary foods
taste flat and 'rsipld. Candy eat
ing children are apt to bo children
of finicky appetitles and such chil
dren are generally somewhat under
nourished. If some one would invent
a sugar that was not sweet the chil
dren's specialist.-i might not object
to it.
As matters now stand this is about
the way they fee! about it. Ther
Is no great objection to giving chil-:
dren a small portion of candy pro-
vldea It is given at the end or a meai.
They are opposed to giving children
any candy, sugar, or sweets between
meals. They prefer that such foods
as ceroalr: should be little flavored
with sugar. Treswes in large quan
tities are objected to because of their
effect on tbe appetite for tisspc
building foods.
Every mother will do well to re
member that many adults can hrins
cn a temporary diabetes by eating a
little riore than a quarter of a pound
of sugar, either as candy or in othfr
forms. A child weighing a quartrr
as much as an adult should not be
able to stand an eighth of a pound.

Lincoln, Nov. 4. To the Editor
of The Bee: Just a word to con
gratulate your paper on the brave,
manly, fearless fight it made in the
cumpalgn Just closed. Your paper
was the only metropolitan paper in
the state that openly and frunkly
advocated the election of Senator
Harding.
Your editorials touching the Wil
son league of narionsvery ably and
eloquently pointed out the dangers
in it to our American institution. The
result buries deep beneath an aval
anche of votes the man responsible
for attempting to entangle our
country with European Astatic na
tions. Countless thousands who In
the past were humble followers of
JefferBon and Jnckson, sided in
bringing thin about by their ballots.
Your paper should be commended,
I wish you success. Very sinoeroly

meats (taken from soup) are the
