An Old-Fashioned Disease,

Every little while there comes along
some person of authority to Jolt a lit
tie of the pride out Of the human race.
Just when everybody is feeling un-
usually jubilant over the advance of
civilization, the spread of education
or the growth of a new disease due
to modern conditions, the wise man
bobs up and tells us we're behind the
times, that, in the words of the old
song, that story had paresis in the
days of old Ramesses"
Now the wise man has stood up in
his place to tell us that we're not so
fast a people after all, that the dis
ease of the heart of which we've been
so fond, fancying it came from our
strenuousness, is literally as old as
the pyramids, that the Egyptians suf-
fered its pains in their time.
1t is Chicago heart specialist who
thus knocks into a cooked hat our pet
theories regarding degeneration of the
arteries, which we've been proud to
believe peculiar to modern high
speed conditions. Now this man
takes pains to point out that anatom-
icaF research upon mummies shows
the prevalence of arterio-scierosis in
the pyramid days. He adds that It
often is superinduced by diseases
which probably were as widespread
then as now.

MURDERER CAUGHT

Uniontown, P2 IL 9.-B. Frank
Smith, the double murderer who
broke Jail nine weeks ago, was arrest
ed here when he ventured from the
mountains for the first time TO greet
his wife at their home. Cleverly dis
guised, Smith managed to walk bold
ly through Uniontown until he reach
ed his home on the outskirts.
His wife was surprised to see him,
for it had been supposed that Smith
had either starved or killed himself
while outlawed in the mountains be-
tween this place and Cumberland.
Others had seen the stranger walk
into the Smith residence and soon
the police had the tip and a sheriff's
posse was at the house.

Ottawa, Ont, t-Rudyard
Kipling is the latest recruit to the
anti-reciprocity cause. The Montreal
Star got him to write letter to the
editor and it was cabled to the Star
and printed. This is it:
Il don't understand how nine mil
lion people can enter into such ar
rangements as are proposed with
ninety million strangers on an open
frontier of 1000 miles and at the
same time preserve their national in
tegrity.
"Ten to one is too heavy odds. No
single Canadian would accept such
odds in any private matter that was
as vital to him personally as this is
to the nation.
ut is her own soul that Canada
risks today. Once that soul is pawn
ed for any consideration, Canada
must inevitably conform to the COM
mercial, legal, financial, social and
ethical standards which will be i'm
posed upon her by the sheer admit

were today poor. depressed and with
out hope, one would perhaps under

a nation, and as the lives of nations
are reckoned will ere long be among

"Why, then, when she has made
herself what she is, should she throw

and her future into the hands of
people, who by their haste and waste

Whatever the United States may
gain. and 1 presume that the United

money, which she does not need, and
