MILK WAR THREATENS
We had milk wars and rumors of j
milk wars all around as for some time i
past, but Wheeling has rested rather j
placidly on her oars without ever j
thinking of such a conflict breaking |
"In our midst." It seems, however. I
that we are not to escape the afflic- i
, tion -which has been common to the j
^ larger communities of the country. !
The producers threaten to make i
Wheeling practically milkless on the
first of December unless their de
mands of a 20 per cent increase in
price is conceded by the distributors.
If the distributors do not come to
their terms, they will ship their pro
ducts to Pennsylvania and points in
Ohio. We shall not know the full
hardship of such action until we are
called upon to do without this prime
staple.
When the producers made their de
mand the distributors offered to com
promise on ten per cent advance in
price, which was refused but the pro
ducers made a counter proposition of a
recession of 5 per cent on the original
demand. This the distributors have
flatly refused to accede to. And that
is the way the situation stands at j
present. There is, it is said, some J
justice In the demands of the milk pro- j
ducers In the higher cost of food and ;
Increased expenses in other ways con
nected with the dairy business. Of
course it is the consumers who have
to pay, as they always do. It is hoped
that some compromise may yet be ef
. fected that will prevent the carrying
out of the dire threat which the pro
ducers are now holding over us.
NECESSITY OF PROTECTION 'j
The United State? Consul General j
at Rio Janeiro, writing of industrial ;
conditions in Brazil before the war j
"Textiles, principally, cotton;
goods, keep the greater number of j
mills busy. With plenty of raw cotton j
from Brazilian plantations, dyestuffs j
obtained from Germany at low prices j
on favorable credit terms, and a high j
protective tariff to shield the industry, ;
it has flourished and grf-ar.!y reduced j
the' import? of the more ordinary cot-j
ton goods from abroad." If a protec- j
tive tariff will do it in Brazil, why j
will it not do it here? Our cotton
I
mills were humming merrily when the ;
Republican tariff law was in force.
The industry went to piece?, laborers j
went to the bread line, and dividends ?
went to the devil after the Democratic: j
l near-free-trade tariff law was passed. I
L We have the raw cotton. We could !
^manufacture our own dyestuffs, if the j
?arty in power would give us adequate J
(protection. In the face of a pending !
economic revolution the Democrats j
still adhere to their shabby tariff po;- j
Icy. If those who listened to the j
sophistry of "he kept us out of war," j
had paid more heed to the fact that ,
"he had kept them out of work," we j
would have a fairer prospect of the
future today.
President Wilson some time ago in
on? of his cryptic moods remarked
that "a very thoughtful preacher point
ed that one of the first quotations in
the Lord's prayer is, 'give us this day
our "daily bread,' which would seem,
perhaps, to indicate that our Lord
knew what every statesman mnst
know, that the spiritual life of the Na
tion can not exist unless it has physi
cal life; that yon can not be an altru
ist, and patriot on an empty stomach."
It has been ordered that by the
sweat of his brow shall man ear his
bread. But when this war closes a
man can not find work if the place of
his employment is closed by European
competition invited by a near-free
tariff law.
THE RECALL PROTOCOL
It is up to General Carranza, head of
the de facto government of Mexico,
whether the labors of the Mexican
American joint commission have been
for naught, 'The protocol which was
agreed upon, so far as can be seen at
present, is a concession to C'arranza's
capital demand made upon this gov
ernment for the immediate withdraw
al of American troops on Mexican sell.
^ paraphrase of the agreement ar.il
Bkpplemental memorandum sets forth
?trait the American troops now in Chi
?huahua, commanded by General Jchn
I J. Pershing, shall be withdrawn with
I in forty days from the approval of th?
I protocol by the respective govern
ment?. provided that within that time
the conditions in that part of Mexico
have not become such as to endanger
the American border. In such event
the rim^ shall be extendpd. It is pro
vided that the Mexican army shall
pai-rol the Mexican side of the border
and tho American army the American
side; but this shall not preclude co
operation between the two forces to
preserve peace upon the border, it
shall he left to the commanding offi
cers of the armies on tho border of
both nations to enter irrto such ar
rangements for cooperation in opera
tions against bandits whenever it is
possible. The American government
in a supplemental memorandum, re
serves the right to pursue into Mexico
marauders coming from .Mexico Into
the United States so Ions as conditions
in northern Mexico are in their pres
ent abnormal state.
It is supposed that the agreement of
the Mexican government with these
preliminary fetaures will lead to an
easy adjustment of the contentionu
with regard to the protection of Amer
ican lives and property, which are to
be considered later. If Carranza re
fuses to agree to the stipulations of
the protocol, then, of course, the whole
matter is again up in the air. It
seems there was a disposition on tho
part o^ the Mexican commissioners
to drive a stiff bargain all through
the deliberations. They are said to
have contended eran^stly for the in
corporation in the protocol of a clause
providing that If troops were sent
across the line in pursuit of bandits
they should be moved only to certain
distances; that they should comprise
only certain arms of service and in
clude only a specified number of men ;
that they should be kept in the coun
try only a certain time and that thby
must be mored only in certain regions.
To all these arguments the Americans
were firm in their insistence that there
must be no limitations. So far as the
withdrawal of Pershing's force is con
cerned, that ought to have been done
long ago, as their restricted sphere of
action in Mexico rendered their fur
ther stay useless. This expedition
has turned out as farcically as the
Vera Cruz emprize.
When Christmas and wash day clash
it is easy to see which gets the decision.
CLASSED AS PIFFLE"
A correspondent writing to a Pitts
burgh paper describes the experiment
of the Chicago Health Commission in
feeding a diet squad for 40 cents a !
day per head as "piffle", and he
seems to he near the truth. There is
nothing extraordinary about the ac
complishment from an economic view,
and that is the great disideratum in!
these days of high prices. If the Chi- j
cago Commission is trying to demou- |
strate that the menus they are provid- j
ing are the proper thing from a health
point of view that is another matter.
Put the object of the experiment Is
undoubtedly to illustrate how much
can be provided for the least cost.
Forty cents per day per member of a
family is considered in many quarter?
as extravagant. The Pittsburgh critic
of the "diet squad's" expenses proves
it. He figures it out in this way;
f believe the United States govern- 1
iw-tu investigators found that it re- j
<[uires k- minimum income of $750 an-1
nuatly to maintain properiy and in health j
a family of tiv?>. Also, they found that]
the income of th* av*>rac* workingman |
does not amount to $600 annually. Tho ,
averac- number in a family usually is 1
calculated at five :?K>plt?. in poor folks',
families it is probable that tlio average!
will be six. or more. Forty <-ents a day
for five peop'.e is $2.00 daily or SfiO.OO
monthly, and for six people it is ?2.40
daily or $72.00 monthly. Five-sixths of
thp families in Pittsburgh, or In Chi
cac"'. cannot pav either on? of these
amounts for food alone. A man making
?12." monthly and maintaining a family
cannot afford to pay $60 monthly for
food.
He then adds a clincher by noting
that he is the head of a family of sev
en, all healthy and vigorous, and that
rhey do not eat anywhere near 52.80
worth of food a day. What is the
secret? He graciously attributes the
economic triumph to his wife, who evi
dently is a frugal woman. Waste is j
tho jrreat American handicap in mos:
homes, as t.he garbage can will readily
testify to. The Pittsburgh observer
laconically adds that, "if five-sixths j
of the American housewives did not
know more than this Chicago doctor,
the most of our people would starve
to death." That statement would
disperse the Chicago diet squad, cr
ought to.
Platinum is $100 an ounco and still
going up. Let'er go. We cant eat it.
Go to Mexico for the real thriller. A

Which Do You Prefer?
It is important for reasons of health and
practical economy for every housekeeper
to ask herself this question:
" Do I prefer a pure baking powder like
Royal, made of cream of tartar derived from
grapes, or am I willing to use a baking
powder made of alum or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sources ? "
The names of the ingredients printed
on the label show whether the kind you
are now using or any brand , new or old ,
that may be offered is a genuine cream
of tartar powder, or merely a phosphate
or alum compound
Royal Baking Powder contains no alum
nor phosphate.

AUSTRIA'S NEW RULER AND THE CURSE OF PARMA j
Terrible Consequences That Impend by Reason of the Heritage
of Madness in the Empress Zita's Blood.
BY J. MADISON TAYLOR, M. D.
Professor of Applied Therapeutics, Medical Department, Temple Uni
versity, Philadephia; Consulting Physician to Vineland, Elwyn
and Haddonfield Schools for the Feeble-Minded; Author of "Man
ual Diseases of Children."
The real significance In the death of i
I Emperor Francis Joseph is that his I
j grand nephew, Charles Francis, who!
{ascends the throne, is from a family
some of whose members showed men-i
tal unsoundness. His wife, Zita, Is of j
(the imbecile House of Parma, and |
| bids fair to perpetuate an unfortunate!
strain. Their children are now re-j
ported to be normal; but a glance at'
their ancestry will reveal what has |
been and. by all the laws of heredity, |
lis likely to be again.
j Charles is a brilliant young man. a
(proven soldier and commander. The |
i misfortune which successively de- f
iprived the late emperor of other heirs i
culminate in the dire menace, to the j
dynasty, of the new ruler's union with I
the sister of many lunatics and ini-j
beetles, children of her father, the late j
|Duke of Parma, by two wives, neither i
.of whom proved able to provide a|
maternal strain sufficiently sound to i
: furnish normal qualities to her entire;
brood.
| Henry. Duke of Parma, the h^ad of j
the family, now about 42 years of ace.
showed insanity so early in life that
none of his royal relatives would I
vouchsafe him the customary military j
positions or other honors and decora- j
tions. He is the eldest of the eight'
children born to the first wife of!
Robert, the late duke ? Princess Maria ]
Pia, of Bourbon - Siciles. Following!
Henry came six children, five boys
and one girl, all showing marks of
mental disease. One son was born ,
sound. Prince Helie of Parma, who
married the Archduchess Maria Anna |
of Austria. They have four normal I
children. No other children were
born of Duchess Maria Pia aftnr Helie.
She died In 1S.S2.
The abnormal strain appeared again \
when Duke Robert married the pres
ent Dowager Duchess of Parma, the'
i youngest of six Braganza Princesses
and an aunt of Prince Miguel of Bra
ganza, who married Miss Ani Stewart,
daughter of Wm. Rhinelander Stew
art. of New York. Of this union
twelve children were born, Austria's
new empress, Zit-a, heins the fonrth
in order of birth, on May 9, 1S!)2. She.
like her half-brother, Helie, proved
sound of mind and body. All the
; other issue of Duke Robert's second
j marriage have been reported to he j
sub-normal or insane, although the.
I Princes Sixtus and Xavier are now
| officially declared to be serving with |
! honor in the amy in Belgium,
i To all appearance the sinister cloud 1
[on the House of Parma, dating back!
j to the days of Pedro the Cruel of;
Spain and Portugal's Pedro I, has j
been averted from Empress Zita and
her immediate offspring. Her eldest
I child, now Crown Prince Francis
jJoseph Otto, at four years of ace
seems normal. But the laws of her
edity lie far deeper than a single gen
eration.
Those laws, as applied t.o the feeble
minded. the Imbecile and the lunatic,
are fairlv clear and are demonstrated
repeatedly, whether in royal families
or among simpler folk. The unhealthy
strains are subdivided into many
groups or strains, and the mental
capacity developed varies, but is fairly
constant in each strain; and it is
transmitted with regularity, especially
so long as that strain is .kept un
mixed, generation after generation.
Among theso degenerate strains there
may. aud does occassional).**, offer a
genius or two. Even these often
exhibit eccentricities so marked as to
render them unsafe guides in states
manship or kingcraft, or indeed in
many other situations of life or
society.
The danger of transmission of men
tal defects is equal for all classes,
from kings to peasants, from states
men to plain citizens. Every Ameri
can who heedlessly ? as practically all
of us do ? enters into wedlock with a
mate whose ancestry does not assume
complete immunity from the trans
missable forms of mental disease,
commits by negligence precisely the
same crime against his family and:
our common race that Is perpetrated J
by members of royal houses fori
dynastic considerations or for the pur- 1
pose of effecting simply a "desirable j
alliance.'*
The familiar course of transmission j
of mental degeneracy, as observed by
modern science through many gener
ations of typical families, is almost
purely mathematical and in conform- |
ity with the laws of variability estab
lished by the famous monk. Mf ndel. !
Given one parent, of wholly sound
ancestry and the other a degenerate,
and the offspring are usually 50 per
cent sound and 50 per cent sound.
The more serious forms of mental j
deeeneracy would seem to he feeble- 1
mindedness and imbecility. Instances i
of plain madness, or acute insanity, j
may occur in individuals who. under i
favoring conditions and free from j
exhaustion states or shocks, would be
likely to remain normal throughout I
life. But where there are a number }
of instances in a family strain show-!
ing feeble-mindedness ? which Is an
arrest of development wholly incur
able ? we find a much more unfortu
nate croup for the perpetuation of any
stock.
The House of Parma has shown a j
number of conspicuous instances of ?
the imbecile or defectively developed '
type. While the ancient curse may I
overpass the immediate progeny of!
Empress Zita because of her own san
itv and the apparent normality of her
royal spouse, there is reasonable up- j
prehension that their grandchildren |
will include defective typos similar to j
those among her brothers and sisters. ,
It is also quite possible that children '
born later to Emperor Charles and hi? j
consort, in years when the vitality of;
their youth shall have subsided, will j
show similar mental abnormalities.
For the present. Austria-Hungary j
may. indeed must, accept its new I
ruler and his heirs with the measure;
of loyalty inspired by the doctrine of
Divine Right and the fealty compelled
by the common danger. But who shall 1
foresee the effect, upon the fortunes '
of the empire in the future, when
science shall have made evident to '
the world at the large the inevitable!
deterioration of any family strain
through the injection of the element'
of mental degeneracy, and when mem- ?
hers of the ruling house are under thei
suspicion of madness?
