Fels-Naptha is more economical be-

MAX NORDAU IS WRONG
IN MANY CONCLUSIONS

Max Nordau is not the first foreigner
20 admonish Americans with reference
to their strenuous and excessive IN
dustry. Years ago Herbert Spencer
preached 10 them the gospel of rest
recreation, and meditation, and scores
Of lesser lights have since echoed and
re-echoed that warning" Nor IS this
gospel preached by foreigners excl Isive-
". Many Americans, from different
points Of view, have deplored the alleged
national tendency to overexeruon. speed.
intensity. The doctors have had a good
deal to say about heart disease as an
American maladv and at this particular
time, with the grip raging among US, a
little CXaEgeratiOn on this score can
do no harm. 1t is better TO err on the
side Of prudence.
But when Herr NoFdau jumps from
the physical to the moral question he
falls into the ditch of absurdity. What
ever may be said about American stress
and hurry, It is glaringly untrue that
the WatchWOrd of the American is.
Everybody ahead and the devil take
the hindmOst" on the contrary, Ameri-
can generosity has become proverbial.
and is the text for many European SER
mons addressed TO the less benevolent
rich of the old world. The annual totals
Of American donations to education, to
and ike institutions are the marvel OF
European workers IN the same fields.
That the American ideal is lower than
mat or any European nation is fallaCy
that has been discredited- too long 10
need any particular attention today.

It is a matter of record that after
