LESSONS OF TITANIC DISASTER
W. r. Belknsp, Berea Trustee, in
Hardware Reporter"

All that a man hath will be given
Ia exchange for his life. The great
ocean disaster whose frightful ex-
tent has been borne in upon us by
the messages from ships that pass
In the night and the story of survi-
vors, has driven everything else out
OF our minds. The course OF markets,
ordinary vacations and daily diver
sions OF life seem trivial and insig-
nificant compared with this great
event.
The boat that was thought to
be unsuitable proved to be as vulner-
able as the wooden caravel or clip
per built craft that used to traverse
the Atlantic Ocean in the olden
times. The wireless telegraph,
while doing great work, was shown
to be insufficient in its details.
Practically tho conduct of the vessel
is In the hands Of some irrespon-
sible youth who can call down cleo
tricity from the clouds and yet rem
der no account to mate or captain.
The insufficient number of life
boats and RATS, nder-equipment Of
instruments - all OF the grewsoms
facts which have been brought out
by the examinations OF one kind and
another-have gone to prove to us
that we have yet much to learn and
for human life which we believe
ought to exist.
The many deeds Of heroism recount
ell in prose and verse were the reas-
surfing features of the whole, but
they do not bring the dead to life
again, and those who mourn must go
on mourning, as they realize the
hopelessness Of their case.
Those who were about to die.
saluted; those who are still living
may do more. They can lend gener-
ously Of themselves in a whole-soul-
ed, widespread effort to uplift the
people, whether in business or out
OF it-whether selling hardware or
sailing before the mast. Good will
to Men. We can express this by help
ing instead of hindering; by lead
ing instead of crowding; by reconcil-
ing instead of antagonizing; by prais-
ing instead of carping. This is our
message to those Of the press whose
aim seems to be just the contrary
whose aim is apparently to set man
against man-brother against broth
er. Peace on earth.

REVOlUTIONIzED SURGERY

1t is hardly thinkable that the man
who discovered antiseptic surgery,
one of the greatest physical blessings
ever bestowed upon the race, has
Just been gathered to his fathers.
Sir Joseph Lister in his vigorous
eighties went to sleep the other
day under enduring glory as the dis
coverer of antiseptic surgery, through
which more people have been saved
by the surgeons from wounds in war
and peace than through all the devel-
opments of surgical science for
hundred years. His king made Lister
a baronet in recognition OF his dis
covery. and the civilized world crowns
him as king in the realm of science
mercy and love. 1t is accorded few
men so TO contribute to physical
happiness and longevity.-The Chris

beans, wheat, rye, corn, etc.
The non-nitrogenous elements are
divided into fats, carbohydrates (sug-
ars and starches) and salts.
In other words. we must find IN our
food the same elements that enter
into the composition Of the body.
The folly Of trying to live on any
one particular kind of food will be APP
parent to any one who familiarizes
himself with the constitution of the
body and its needs. The proteids are
required for building material and en-
ergy. the carbohydrates and fats for
mineral elements. for building pur-
poses and to assist in the chemical
processes and exchanges going on In
the body.
What Is Digestion?
Digestion is the process Of trans
forming food elements into substances
that can be absorbed into the blood
through the walls of the digestive
tract. IL the digestive functions are
paralyzed food taken into the stomach

causes irritation and finally, by its de-
composition. poisoning.
The digestive processes are carried
on by substances whose exact form
and constitution are unknown. termed

But digestion does not begin In the
stomach. The saliva contains very

starch foods, such as cereals, vegeta-

not advised. The act of chewing
should be natural and subconsclous.

on the subject OF digestion the normal

Prolonged chewing Of meat does not
appear to be required. The favorable
results from experimenting along this

less meat was taken. The saliva does
not digest meat. On the contrary, by

DON'T EXPOSE CHILDREN TO

sick children In the March Woman 9
Home Companion, the author, DR..
Roger II. Dennott, a famous New
York specialist on the diseases Of
children says:
Never, never, never expose the
child TO any contagious disease in
order that he may have it once and
te done with It. Even the so-called
simple children's diseases, such as
measles or whooping cough, have a
death-rate that is appalling"
