"In cases of serious digestive disturb
ances, sufferers should consult a physi-
clan of known ability and known stand
ing in their community. To submit such
cases for treatment by mail is as fool
ish as it would be for a man having a
complicated and highly specialized BUSH
ness trouble to ask some one who had
never seen his factory, and knew moth
ing about the business except the data
he could supply in answer to a set of
questions, to supply him with positive
remedy at long distance.
Much of the advice on diet which has
passed from individual to individual and
much of the supposed scientific advice
now being sold for price by some Of
the food advisers. is really little more
than folk lore. great many of the
statements which are used as arguments
by the experts for their diets have been
traced by the government specialists and
found to come from works on diet writ
ten so long ago as to be no longer con-
sidered of value except to the student of
the history of dietetics. else they
have been separated from qualifying
statements which would make the inter
probation given them by the commercial
users wholly unwarranted."

THE SINS OF POETS.
Days Of Autumn Should Not Be
Thought of as Melancholy.
From the Cincinnati Times-Star.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
Poets should be held responsible for the
effects upon posterity of auto-suggestion.
The rest of US have to pay up in one way
or another for sowing the seeds of dis
content, restlessnes~ and morbidity. But
the poet-being poet-goes free. In
spired by the goG s, he Is super being
not amenable to ,ie discipline inflicted by
or upon mere mortals. He may. with i'm
punity, plant the seed of glum brooding
in a million breasts and reap a harvest of
human tears. without having to answer
to any one for his sins. unless his meter
or his rhyme be faulty. His crime of
morbidity goes unpublished.
1t was William Cullen Bryant who in
his Death of the Flowers made count
less thousands hate. even fear. the glori-
Gus fall and autumn of the year. He
wrote the lament:
The melancholy days have come, the saddest of
the year.
OF wailing winds and naked woods, and mead
ows brown and scar.
Beautiful poetry, no doubt But in
them was planted q germ of morbidity.
The opening line Of that poem Is echoed
first mechanically. and then consciously,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-09-21

by every boy and girl who passes the
grammar grade Youth is blithe and the
boy or girl does not grasp the melan-
choly thought until he she is older.
and then. when the first leaves come
swirling down from the tree tops, and q
nip comes in the air. the boy or girl re-
spends automatically to the doleful sug-
gestions of the poem. The idea that the
autumnal months are months OF natural
detection has become fixed. 1t remains
often. through life The poet has written
a beautiful verse, but at sad cost to hu-
man gladness.
The days of autumn are not melancholy.
or at least they should not be- Nature
does not die; it merely goes to rest She
takes in the symbols of her summers
fecundity, and changes not the essentials,
but the outward aspect of things. But
she gives ample recompense. She lifts
the pail of heat and humidity and drops
a mantle Of refreshing GOODNESS which
gives a new zest to life. a greater inter-
est in pleasure. In books. music and even
in the pursuit of commerce.
