ESCHBACH -y ESSE E. ESCHBACH, chief examiner of the VERSUS I State board of accounts, says the State govM’CRAY PJ ernment is extravagant. Governor McCray says it is not. It is a matter of opinion. In the last analysis, the taxpayers will be the judges. While the battle rages, it might be well to look at some of the facts. Eschbach says appropriations recommended b\ the budget committee were increased $8,000,000 to a total of $21,480,912. The Governor says the appropriation bill finally carried a total of only $17,831,742.69. The Governor is right as far as he goes, but what about the bills carrying appropriation that were not labeled appropriation bills? What about the gasoline tax and the increased automobile license fees? What about the dunes park bill? What about all the other bills that carried appropriations or increased tax levies? We do not know where Eschbach got his figure, but we can understand how a much larger figure could be given. Os course, the bill labeled “Appropriation bill” did total only some $17.800,000, and if the Governor persists in referring only to the bill so labeled and not to others he is right. But taxes by any other name are just as hard to pay. While the Governor has started the fashion of considering as appropriations only such measures as may be labeled appropriation bills, the subject might be pursued a little farther on his basis. The bill labeled “appropriations” in 1917, under the Goodrich administration, totaled only $10,152,411.04. and in 1919, when it was necessary to take care of large deficits brought, about by increased and unforeseen war expenditures, the total of the bills labeled “appropriations” amounted to $11,555,276. It i.s not necessary to go back to Democratic administrations to find expenditures lower than those of the present administration. Os course, the McCray appropriation bill carried $2,000,000 to be applied to the construction of the new reformatory, which, by the way, was not approved by Esehbaeh, but written into the bill on imperative instructions of the Governor. Perhaps this should be eliminated in comparing the bill with the Goodrich bills, but. even so, enormously increased expenditures are indicated. Most of the State departments are spending far more than formerly and there is little evidence they are rendering any more service to the public. Little effort, except in the case of the attempt to reduce the membership of the industrial board, has been made by the administration to remedy the situation. During the period of high prices incident to the war we were told that appropriations, which in the light of subsequent events we would consider low. would be cut as soon as there was a reduction in prices. That reduction has not been great, but certainly prices have not gone up in proportion to the increase in appropriations. Some day Indiana may have an administration that will cut expenses regardless of how many politicians suffer, if su< h an administration does not appear before long, God help the State.

TACKLING V AILROADS this year are expected to buy RAIL i—r 6,000 new locomotives, which would be more TANGLES JL. w than in any year since 1905. Important news for business men directly, and ali of us indirectly, for .shortage of locomotives is a main cause of car shortage. Worse than the two combined is the increasing shortage of adequate terminals in cities. In other words, congestion of population is the basic problem in transportation the same as in nearly everything else. EXPORT 1 R export business is increasing, Uncle Sam TRADE | | reports. In January American exports GROMS totaled over 336 million dollars, compared v, ith about twenty-seven millions in January 1922. Europe in January bought nearly 190 million dollars’ worth from us. compared with only 143 millions in January, 1913. Whether she is paying, or merely running up another bill, is a horse of a different color. Still, it. should please the gents with blue spectacles to know that our trade with Europe is far above normal.

Chauncey Depew, Nearing 90th Year, Writes About Nine Biggest World Events of His Lifetime

By SEA Service. NEW YORK, April 9. Chauncey M. Depew will enter upon Ids 90th year April 23. The grand old man of American politics has seen four wars —and their aftermaths, lie has been a friend of Gladstone, the statesman, and of Joe Jefferson, the actor. He has made speeches in the halls of Congress and before the motley crowds of the Bowery. Since he became connected with the New York Central Railroad it has grown from a length of 128 miles to a length of 5,600 miles, and he has seen the railroads of the United States grow from 3.600 miles to 300,000 miles since he entered the railway service. He has survived cults and fgds and still retains the simple faith his mother taught him. What are the nine biggest events that Chauncey Depew has seen In the nine decades in which he has lived? He tells of them here, In his own story, written at the request of NEA Service. BY CHAUNCEY AI. DEPEW THE first big event that I remember was the Mexican War. I was 14 years old then and it stirred mo with tremendous, notions of chivalry. However I could not include the Mexican war as being one of the nine big events which I have witnessed. Neither could T include the development of the railroads as that development has covered too long a period of time to be designated as an "event.” Here, then, are the nine big events which I have seen in my lifetime. I consider them big because of their far-reaching effects on the human race. 1. The election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency. This was Important not only because of Lincoln's association with the Civil Wnr. but also because of the influence which the character of Lincoln has had on the whole world. 2. The proclamation freeing the slaves. This was the first great blow at property which had heretofore been held in profound respect. It was the forerunner of the present day agitation over tin* rights of property. But it took siav< vjr out of the present institutions and made the Declaration of Independence the vital idea of the United States. 3. The World War. This was Important because by its very horror it has paved the way for peace. The governments which instigated the World War have been overthrown. Future rulers will not he so anxious to rush into war when they reflect that they are likely to lose their jobs in consequence. 4. The publication of Darwin’s theory of evolution. It liberalized thought: it helped to break down the narrow dogmas of a personal devil and a brimstone hell; it showed that all things arc in a continual process of evolution.

A Delight That millions have discovered Whiter, cleaner, safer teeth

Look about you—note the prettier teeth you see. Note how people smile to show them. Think what added beauty those pearly teeth have brought. Millions now clean teeth in a new way. You will use it when you know. This is to offer a tenday test so you may find it out. That dingy film Teeth are coated with a dingy film that viscous coat you feel It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. Food stains, etc., discolor it, then it forms cloudy coats. Tartar is based on film. That’s why teeth lose luster. Film also holds food substance which ferments and forms acid.

5. The giving to the world of Pasteur’s discoveries. I consider that he has done more than any other individual to benefit the human race. 8. The preaching of Emil Cone of the powers of auto-suggestion. Coue did not discover auto suggestion, but he is showing men and women how they may improve themselves with it. The United States is built upon the development of the individual. Around that development hinges its whole future. 7. The invention of the telephone. Whe.n the first telephone company was formed I took a sixth interest at SIO,OOO and kept it for about a week. Then I took somebody's ad vice and got out. If T had kept that interest f would today be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. But I wouldn’t l>o here to enjoy it. The ease and the fine dinners would have killed me long ago. 8.

They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea, now so alarmingly common. Film coats left Old brushing methods left much film intact. No ordinary tooth paste effectively combats it. So dental science sought for film combatants, and eventually found two. One acts to curdle film, one to remove it, and without any harmful scouring. Able authorities proved these methods effective. Then a newtype tooth paste was created, based

Other effects Pepsodent also multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. That is there to neutralize mouth acids, the cause of tooth decay. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. That is there to digest starch deposits which may otherwise ferment and form acids. Those are vital tooth protectors. Soapy tooth pastes weaken them. That’s one reason why they failed.

Every standard textbook on physiology will t.e!l you that growth processes are under control of the trophic (nutrition) fibers of the nerves. When abnormal fatty tissue develops it is proof that, vital energy is not being properly distributed by the nerves throughout the body. If distribution was normal the body activities would be kept in normal bounds. There would be no excessive storing of fat. The excess would be dissolved and removed. The science of Chiropractic concerns itself with adjusting the body machine to normal so that vital energy may be transmitted properly throughout the body. This is done by adjusting the bones of the spinal column so that they do not press against or pinch or squeeze the main trunk nerves as they branch away from the spinal cords. With pressure on nerves removed, vital energy is transmitted normally. If yon are “too fat to figbt,” have a Chiropractor adjust your body machine to normal. Os course, Chiropractic can not change the naturally plump and heavy-set person to the slim and wiry type. But the tendency of Nature is toward a middle ground. You can get rid of the EXCESS fat by means of Chiropractic. You may still remain plump and well rounded. Go to a Chiropractor today. Get your body back to normal. “Practitioners of Straight Chiropractic.’’ A New Message Here Every Monday.

TOO FAT TO FIGHT

Cheiter Peirce 519 Occidental Bids. Main 6865

TOM SIMS SAYS:

m Jeannette M. Van Tilburg:, 435 Occidental i Hid*. Main 4403;

Rex Beach wrote a story entitled “Too Fat to Fight.” It was about a persistent, plump individual who wanted to enlist in the army and who was turned down because ot his excessive avoirdupois. Too fat to fight? Life itself is a fight—a constant struggle for tne prizes that go with efficient work. How many men —and women, too —are too fat to fight efficiently in tho battle of life? Excessive avoirdupois is disease. Any abnormal body condition is disease. All disease is removable —that is. the CAUSE of disease—is removable. And without cause there can be no disease. The body of man is a machine. It was never intended that this machine should be clogged up with excessive fatty tissue. When it is so hampered it is because the machine is not perfectly adjusted. The motive power of the body machine is vital energy. The vital energy is transmitted, normally; to every body part along the nerve system.

And the strait-jacket which some would fit to our teachers is for 1923 more cruel and reactionary than was the threatened torture of the rack for the aged Galileo in the year 1633. The Inquisition had a better case in 1633 against Galileo, and Galileo had a poorer case for the sun’s being the center of our system, than the Fundamentalists have against Evolutionists for their beliefs. But Galileo was right. The Earth did move.
