Cotton Comes Back.
Capper Backs Farm Bill.'
Coolidge Is Early:
Why Farmers Laugh.
HEART TO HEART
TALK
By Dr. John Joseph Gaines.
Cotton growers will be glad
to hear that big department
stores are specializing in cotton
goods. "Cotton arrives” is the
the announcement of one store,
biggest in New York, doing
about $90,000,000 a year.
“Dotted swiss,’V'pigne” and
“ginghams” are featured ener-
getically.
“Often woman changes,” the
French say. Real or imitation
silks have been the rage; now
Xing Cotton comes back.
—--
If Americans will advertise,
and emphasize, “Cotton goods
grown and made in America,"
instead of advertising "British
cotton cloth,” that will help.
Senator Capper, of Kansas,
trusted by farmers, back? Pres-
ident Hoover’s farm bill. He
opposes the debenture subsidy
plan, which would pay a bonus
to exporting middlemen, cost
the taxpayers heavily, and do
the farmers little, if any, good.
Calvin Coolidge, as director
of the New York Life Insurance
Company, arrived twenty min-
ntes ahead of time for his first
director’s meeting.
“Seest thou a man diligent in
his business, he shall stand be-
fore kings.”
The former President is in-
terested in life insurance, not
for profit, but for possibilities
of public service. His day’s
work yesterday paid $50; not
much according to present
ideas. But it is fifty times as
much as Mr. Coolidge’s father
paid the black-bearded giant
who earned in the Coolidge
blacksmith shop $1- a day fifty
years ago.
Tears and laughter afford re-
lief. Loud laughter, violent
weeping; cause the mind to rest
and bring temporary peace.
There will be farm relief
laughter in news that railroads
have consented to lower freight
xates on wheat floor from the
Kiddle West to the Atlantic.
INVISIBLE REALITIES
Once a very great editor as-
I cured a little girl about the
reality of Santa Claus. He said
in so many words that the most
real things in this world are
the things that children and
men do not see.
It would be very difficult to
find a sentence that holds more
of sublime troth.
We cannot see an electric
current of 20,000 volts; yet it
ia there in all of its terrible
reality.
No one has ever seen carbon
monoxide gas. Who does not
know of.it and fear it?
The deadly spirit in alcohol
is invisible. The clear liquid
looks as innocent as distilled
water; one cannot tell them
apart, so far as looks are con-
cerned. The emell, taste, and
effects on the human constitu-
tion go to make the spirit most
realistic.
Human beings have learned
of these stern, invisible reali-
ties, and how to evade their
harmful effects, and also how
to apply them to useful pur-
poses. Almost every modem
borne uses illuminating gas,
which nobody has ever seen.
One of the most deadly ele-
ments known, if it gets the
upper hand.
* Education prevents our ene-
mies from getting the upper
hand, and makes valued
friends of them. It is only the
ignorant and neglectful that
suffer consequences.
- Wit.i proper training man
can have dominion -over all
things; without it he is easily
victimized.
The fully trained, intelli-
gent man, guards every portal
against the invasion of the invi-
sible foe, which,is the hand that
kills; the enemy that cannot
be seen is very real, and' is
many times more dangerous
than one we can see'. The .in-
visible enemy attacks from be-
hind, as it were. The trailed
man sees all around him. God
pity the man or woman, boy or
girl that gropes in ignorance
today!
The notion that farmers will
get more for their wheat when
flour mills pay lower freight
bills will make the saddest
farmer laugh.
Relief for flour manufactur-
ers is welcome. They are hav-
ing a hard time, with chain
stores regulating their profits.
But charging them ten cents
less a barrel for shipping flour
will not cause them to give
farmers two cents a ushe!
more for wheat.
Relief for farmers a.id many
others will come from general-
ly increased prosperity, and es-
pecially from sharing national
wealth more widely.
American farmers once Sold
corn for less than the amount
of the tariff now proposed.
Prisons have changed. One
ancient hero, solitary in prison,
had to encourage him only the
example of a humble spider
spinning and respinning a web
aa fast as it was torn down.
A well known oil magnate,
jailed because he wouldn’t
answer Senators’ questions, has
the deeper, pleasanter inspira-
tion of a blonde trained nurse.
In the Medical Department
of the jail, this blonde lady
works for the sick and suffer-
ing, apd says to her oil man as-
sistant, worth $100,000,000,
"Please hand me that iodine,”
or “Watch how I fix this band-
age.”
COTTON KING AGAIN
This is going to be the best
cotton season since before the
war. Every indication con-
firms this statement. Cotton
will be King again, and rule
over the entire world of fash-
ion this summer; even Paris is
showing cottons in preference
to other fabrics now.
For everything from hats to
shoes, cotton is now being ad-
vocated and used, and most
summer wardrobes now hear-
ing the sanction of Dame Fash-
ion utilize cotton to some ex-
tent. It is even said that cot-
tons are being used more than
silks in the latest styles.
The story of the cotton come-
back proves that you can’t
down a good thing. Experi-
ence has proven the wonderful
qualities of cotton as material
for wearing apparel. It will
always be popular, even
though it may now and then
suffer a temporary eclipse.
Hail King Cotton!

TRY THIS THE NEXT TIME
YOU HAVE A COLD
Much has been said and
written on the subject of colds
and yet most people are piti-
fully ignorant about their
cause and cure. There are
several moss-grown theories as
to how we catch cold: wet feet,
draughts, insufficient clothing,
and so on.
The orthodox physician will
tell you that: “Whenever the
surface of the body is sudden-
ly chilled, the skin-vessels are
contracted and those of inter-
nal parte are reflexly dilated;
hence internal organa tend to
become congested and, if ex-
cessive, inflammation sets in,
constitute what is called a
cold.” That is all very true—
so far as it goes.
A cold is also caused by im-
proper breathing, plus certain
other conditions.
It must be remembered that
we are constantly putting into
our body fuel, in the form of
food, and we are usually put-
ting in more than we can burn
up. Even the exact quantity
needed by the system calls for
oxygen to create combustion.
When food particles remain un-
burned, certain materials that
should have been eliminated
remain in the blood. And the
person whose system is loaded
with those materials is extreme-
ly susceptible to colds. The
poison-laden blood fills the
capillaries of the respitory
membrances, and, not meeting
the required oxygen to hum it
up, it is retained, causing con-
gestion. That is why a cold
usually appears in the lungs.
So much for the cause of
colds. Having “caught
cold,” what is the first thing a
person does?
. He usually flees to a warm
place, whereas he should do
just the opposite. Should he
flee to a cold place he would at
once begin to breathe deeply.
Deep breathing would increase
the supply of exygen and help
to eliminate the above men-
tioned poisonous material in
the blood.
Since a cold implies impuri-
ties in the system, the cure
must be in the direction of eli-
mination. Plenty of fluids is
an excellent means. Both hot
and cold baths are good in
some cases. The shock of the
cold bath causes profound
deep breathing, which con-
tinues as long as the body is
parting with . an unusual
amount of heat.
The hot bath, on the other
hand, has an entirely different
effect on the system. It causes
perspiration and the filling of
the surface capillaries with
blood, thus relieving the cen-
tral portion of the body from
congestion.
It has been Baid by many
physicians that a cold is caused
by some invading germ taking
advantage of a run-down con-
dition. According to this
theory then, a strong person
should be immbne to colds,
while the weak person would
have one continual cold. And
yet every day we see husky,
robust men and women suffer-
ing from colds.
So far the much discussed
“cold germ’1 has eluded
science; even if it were isolated
it would not destroy the above
theory.
But the truly wise person will
take a greater interest in cold
prevention, which is best
achieved fay remembering that
when we take, into the body
more food than the body can
bum up, we are adding poisons
to the blood which must be eli-
minated.

fair way to get their rites.—

Woman Sets Son
Thought Lost In
Flood 42 Yean Ago
. Kansas City, May 20.—Mrs.
Samuel Beeman, swept from
her family 42 years ago when
the Mississippi River devastat-
ed the little town of Waverly,
111., today was en route home
to Muskogee," Okla, content in
the knowledge that a son, be-
lieved drowned in the flood,
was alive and well.
A few weeks ago Mrs. Bee-
man sold a motorist some gas-
oline from her filling station.
Both learned their names were
Beeman, and in conversation it
developed they were cousins.
The motorist assured.Mrs. Beer
man that her son, who had long
mourned his mother as lost,
was living here.
The mother came to Kansas
City, and, after a visit, is re-
turning home.
It must he awful to die in
Chicago and be a mere clue—
