The woeful state of nerves into which, the rulers of the world have fallen it brought into full expoture by the reported official warning of member of the English government that Amer ica and England are drifting amid misonder- standings and disputes that will lead to War Un ite. half is'rill-il Tka tfha nf At are difficult to fathom, jndlh putting up some anonymous official to Break this news to the American newspaper corps in. London, Lloyd George undoubtedly .had tome specific aim. . vvnettier he was playing home politics of an international , game has not yet developed. Among the possibilities is that he may hope to stampede the United States into unqualified membership in the League of Nations, that he may have wished to discourage the move for ex empting American vessels from tolls at the . Panama canal, or to eliminate agitation in favor, .of the Irish., The suggettion emanating from " Washington that , the warning swat inspired by uic ucvoi nmcnoin approval tor reiunaing or cancelling the allied loans due this country is the most preposterous of all. ' The British Parliament soon is to open its sessions, and the coalition headed by Lloyd George faces a fight for its life.; For weeks Former Premier Asquith and Sir John Simon have been directing heavy attacks on" the gov ernment's Irish policy. The labor party is said to Intend to test its strength in an attempt to defeat the'coalition cabinet. Unemployment and the Irish revolution appear to have supplied the Under for a conflagration.

A bill is pendingHn the senate at Lincoln re quiring that teachers, superintendents, dlrectori and others connected with ths - management or control of public schools take an ath of al legiance. Regretting that any necessity for such requirement exists, The Bee is inclined to give approval to the measure.' Opponents charge that H is a hang-over from the war hysteria. It is not, but, on the contrary, is the outgrowth of unpleasant disclosures, made during -the war. ., One-of the most deadening shocks' the pub lic had to sustain was -that the public' school, looked on as the place wherein gobd citizenship was formed, was in many cases the'breeding place for treason. Sedition was openly taught in many, false ideas were promulgated, and the general cause of the country suffered accordingly. Even with the experience of the war the trouble has not been entirely removed, and when positively dangerous doctrines .are not actually being in cutated, the students are being1 indoctrinated with a flabby brand of pseudo-altruism, : mas querading as "modern" philosophy or economics, with a result that a steady stream of soggy or unripe ideas is being poured into the young minds of the country, and so untold harm is being done. Any step that will serve to bring our schools fr6m "kindergarten to university, pub lic or private; back to a firm anchorage is going to help. . . .. '.. Teachers who are loyal will suffer nothing In asseverating that loyalty by an oath of alle giance to the government of the United States; the disloyal may perjure themselves, that they may continue to undermine the solid founda tions of our institutions by their mischievous doctrines, but it will be the worse for them when they are found out The public school is the distinctly great American institution, and too much care can not be lavished on It. ; Real Farm Relief in Sight A measure offering tremendous relief to the farming business and which would enable' the Federal Land hanks to resume operations at full speed through the spring and summer has been favorably reported, to the senate of the United States. This is the Swanton and Glass bill authorizing the treasury to purchase $100,000,000 of farm loan bonds. Incorporated in the agri-. cultural appropriation bill, it stands excellent chance of being among the few bills passed at' the end of the session. , .. This would open vp a channel of credit that has been closed for more than a year through a suit in the supreme court attacking the validity of the tax exemption on these bonds and. which ruined the private market for them. The share of the Omaha land bank in this appropriation probably would amount to $10,000,000. What this means to the agricultural interests of Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota and Wyoming is etty to see: Grain growers and stock raisers law. li.an !m (...... .a..tJ Ll.I. J .

Frozen credits in the country banks would.be thawed' out and the influence would reach to the . facthest cities in the land. v Ten million dollars for the Omaha'distrlct is about half the amount the bank here has loaned , in one year, but would probably suffice until a decision in me oona case opens up me outtiue market Old mortgages might not be able to be refunded through this agency, but the impera tive needs of farmers who need funds to carry them could be filled and real grounds for cOn- J fidence and prosperity established. Partnership in Matrimony. Kansas, noted for the vagarious forms in which the eccentricities of its. citizenship find ex pretsion, has just decided not to embark on an experiment that might have 'interested the rest of the world as much as some of its other freaks. i .The legislature has killed a bill that was de ; signed to bring housewives under the provisions ; of the workmen's compensation act, and hold: .the husband' liable pecuniarily for any mishap that might befall his spouse while engaged at ' her home work. Just 'what was back of the bill ' is not made clear by the terse announcement of - its demise, but one speculative assumption is that - its fraraer had in mind to provide some sort of . attraction to induce women to attend to domestic affairs. .That is a little far-fetched, though, for most of the women folks of the Sunflower state find pleasure in a well kept house, the same as their sisters in other and happier commonwealths. The legislature seemingly views the alliance be tween husband and wife as an equal partnership, and the management of the household, as the proper field for its operation. It makes no ac count of the. time-worn, and court-tested doctrines of fellow-servant, assumption of risk, contributory negligence pr the-like, but give- a tacit approval to the age-old belie' that one is taking as long a chance as the other when they ' Romance and Eighth B Grade. A young woman who has attained to the ma turity of judgment and the ripened experience afforded by the Eighth B grade m the city. schools has just torn the halo from off the head of Lochinvar. He was a bluff, and not a hero. Although she admits he may have been "faith ful in love and dauntless in war,' - she notes nothing in his ride out of the west but what might have been accomplished by-anyone with well trained horse. She even awards to the horse any palm of heroism that may be involved in this part of the exploit. What happened after his arrival at Netherby Hall, she sums up as further proof that Lochinvar really was a strut ter and a braggart. ThuVdoes the hero 'of a long-lived romance appear to the clear-eyed vision of the miss who diligently dissects him;. No difficulty prevents her piercing the glamour and exposing the sham in its true colors. . Yet some consolation; may be found in the thought that perhaps as years go on, and that clarity of vision which' now marks this frank and fearless critic is tinted by awakening aspirations, a more roseate hue will surround the person of the young laird, and his exploit will take on something of the tinge that led the bridesmaids to whisper , 'twere better by far To wed our fair cousin' to ?otingXxrd Loohinvar. A few more swiftly moving seasons will bring her to that magic spot' where "brook and river. meet," and she will know why that ride out of the. west, unattended and alone, and its return with a bride stands forever the inspiration and despair of all lovers, youth or maiden, and why, even the frost of age fails to touch with cynic color the glory of the tale.' Lochinvar may not have been a hero, but he ?s credited with a' deed that many real heroes" have envied and Some , have emulated. , ' Families Smaller Now. The father of 22 children recently died at the age of 78. The brief dispatch from cut in the state that tells of his demise does not indicate how many of them are living, or when his wife died. One does not find many families of that size any more,; and those; few men who would be able to support a score of children in comfort are; generally the ones with none. There is significance in the statistics that show that as the birth rate declines, the infant mortality rate falls off in even greater propor tion. .Undoubtedly the family which contains three or four children will be able to watch over them' more "carefully than one in which offspring' are counted by the dozen. The hearts of fathers and of mothers .are iarge- enough to include all the offspring, but no amount of love can produce the time or strength or ability to give that attention to each child of an immense family which can be expended when children are fewer. -.

Mrs. Harry Howard ia one of the best ' , customers that I have in this city, but last year Mrs. Howard had to wait two months before I could do her work. But Mrs. . Howard knew that when I did come that her i beautiful wall paper, fresco painting and Japanese grass was going to be cleaned right. I have been canvassing this winter and I am firmly convinced that I will have over a thousand rooms to clean thia spring. I simply can't do it all and my work will have to run through the summer and fall the same as last year. At that a' great many will not be able to get me at all. So I give you all fair warning to have your work done -early or wait until eummer. I don't want , any one to send in an order until you are ready to have the work 'done.- I have got to systemlae my work and I will do the work as the orders come in. First come,., first 'served. Be sure and have a stepladder ready, as I can't afford to lose time hunting for a stepladder, and don't ask over the phone what I charge, as I cannot tell yon until I see what work you want done. . , r:: ; E.

Continuing the quotations of the opinions ot Arthur Hunter based on the-experience of many 'insurance companies we find that overweight ana underweight have received much attention. Overweight In 1913 41 -of the leading American and Canadian life insurance companies reported that they had had a much higher mor tality than the normal among per eons distinctly overweight, even though they had been selected with care. In 1911 a further very care ful study was made. This showed that persons at 20 who were 20 per cem overweigm naa an extra m or taiity of 5 per centi SO per cent overweight an extra mortality of 20 per cent: 40 per cent overweight. 40 per cent extra mortality, v- Those at age do who were 20 per cent overweight had a 25 per cent extra mortality; those with 80 per cent overweignt naa bo per cent in crease in mortality, .while If the ex cess weight was ,40 per cent the exaess mortality was 77 per cent. Overweight is lees important In young persons than in those of middle age. It is of higher impor tance, among tall men than among snort ones, it is of higher impor tance among those with a girth measure greater ..than the chest measure. The extra mortality among over weight persons is due to heart disease, Brlght's disease- and diabetes. They have; a consumption rate below the average. ' Overweight is in most instances a result of over feeding and under exercise or a com bination. A carefully planned diet with reasonable exercise usually will reduce weight, add to one's enjoyment of life and lnorease one's longevity. . v Consumption in the Family A family history of consumption and light weight In the individual, is a serious matter In a young person. Well nourished persons above the average weight have little to fear from consumption even wjhen the disease "runs in the family." The Mder the person, the less impor tant is a history of consumption in the family., A person 25 years of age, per cent' underweight and whose father, mothers brother, - or sister has died of consumption, has a 36 per cent extra mortality: rate. If the same man wos 10 per cent overweight his. mortality rate would be no higher than the normal. If the man was 40 , years old, 15 per cent underweight and with a his tory of tuberculosis in the family, his mortality rate would be raised only 10 per cent. .... The company's representative Is told to "tell the man to keep him self well nourished, to steep out of doors and to get as much fresh air as possible. Underweight Persons 20 years old, 10 per cent underweight, have a 10 per cent increase in mortality. If the underweight is 20 per cent the extra mortality is 25 per cent. If It is -30 per cent the extra mortality Is 40 per cent.- Howevev?, if the age is 85, 10 per cent underweight does not .increase the mortality rate; 20 per cent Increases it only 5 per cent and 30 per cent. only 15 per cent. - : Underweight may be a symptom of low vitality or under nourishment and It -may be .an Inherited, quality. If an inherited quality, Jt does not increase- the "mortality , rate. If it is a result ot low vitality, it does. Young persons who are underweight should endeavor to fatten up. should sleep' out of doors and live in the open alt. Lightweight middle-aged and elderly people should not try to fatten up. Good as Far as It Gotfs. M.W. T. writes.- "Having read your various schdhies for avoiding dryness In the air of homes during the winter months, I submit the following, which works well, with a hot air system and best when the fire is hottest. - The intake pipe Is provided with a good slsed door opening directly into the turanoe room. On a cold night I close the Intake and fhe return and open .the door. Then as I leave the room 1 throw about three pans of water on the cement floor of the furnace room. As I go on up I leave the cellar door open to provide a re turn draft through the furnace room. This gives me an evaporat ing surface of about ISOiSquar feet in the hot furnace room, which is dry by morning." REPLY. ... The plan Is worth trying. Now work out one for the day hours. Toads Good Fly Swatters, K. B. writes: "In our little village we have had and still have several cases of quinsy. Some time ago a woman told one ot the victims that to tie a live toad on the swelling, leaving it there until it died, would cure the quinsy. She did so and re ported it a complete success. The result was that every time a new case develops the i toad remedy Is recommended and so another poor toad is murdered. Will you please give your opinion of the toad remedy T we want to snow u to our friends and no doubt' by so doing save at least one poor toad's life, for I feel sure that it is not the toad that cured the 'quinsy. " REPLY. Quinsy is a self-limited disease tending to get well with treatment without treatment, or in spite of treatment. The toad remedy does no 'good, does not hasten the cure one minute, or spare the patient pain. I wish yon success in saving the lives of these toads now being inexcusably wasted. Toads are good fly catchers and we will need all we can get of them next eummer. Ono Remedy for Itch. H. S. writes: "Possibly you have never had the itch. If not you have certainly missed a rare experience. especially the exquisite pleasure of the daily scratch with its gratify ing relief. - But all pleasure be comes irksome after unending con tinuity. Hence for those who trouble you with inquires for relief and yet do not have the proper equipment for the hot bath which you suggest permit me to propose liquid sulphur just applied and scratched in, no washing or changing until cured. The liquid is , a trifle odoriferous. due possibly to some hydrogen sul phide, yet the relief far outweighs that . discomfort, we know, for we have used it." Job Seems Safe M. C. writes: "Is there any harm working around battery cars where there Is acid 7 I Wear eyeglasses and I woujd like to know if. the acids would be harmful to - my eyes by Inhaling the fumes." reply, , r : -If there is no danger from splash ing or from strong fumes you need not worry about your eye. Ordinary evaporation will not contribute enough gas to the air to harm you. OX ' Opposes Japanese Entry, -Omaha, Feb. 7. To the Editor of The Bee: It is very gratifying in deed to see a bill Introduced In the Nebraska legislature which bears the earmarks of true American idealism calculated to benefit not only the state of Nebraska, but the whole United States or the white race in general. I am referring to the bill restricting the yellow man from taking root on our soil and propagating the yellow peril, which is threatening the white 'race the world over. The immigration of the Jap to our continent and settling here Is not for any good motive. It is not for the purpose of helping the develop ment ot our etate or nation, nor Is It for the purpose of benefiting the yellw immigranto himself. It is a deep-laid scheme ot insidious propa ganda of the yellow man's govern ment testation his men everywhere and anywhere as spies to gather In formation and knowledge' of the lay of the land for his government, so as to nable it to strike whenever the opportune time is at Jiand. To strike not even 'as a rattlesnake with a warning or a signal of the approaching attack, but with treaohery of a reptlte, who sinks his poisonous fangs Into the bosom of the benefactor who trustfully nursed him. , 5 , Whsn the world' was busy 'with the peace treaty in Paris the wily Jap, tinder false pretense, sneaked into Siberia and took .possession of the choicest port of - the north, while poor Russia lay prostrate and helpless under her own misrule and oppression. With velvety,' suave manners and sanctimonious ges tures, the almond-eyed Jap out witted the European diplomats and obtained concessions and grants which are of untold benefit to his government, and at the same time are of irreparable harm to those who were duped and robbed. When the world diplomats opposed the demands of the Japs for equality of race, he pretended to be mor tally offended and deeply grieved, but would accept as heart balm the island of Yap and all the islands north of the equator, possessions that are giving the yellow man the most strategio and dominant posi- .1.
