NEW DISCOVERIES
ARE EXAGGERATED
Better be on the Conservative
Side Say the United Doctors
Mo One Remedy to Cure
All Human Troubles Has Yet
Been Found.

The one-idea man is usually a dan
gerous man, especially in medicine.
Time was when bitter roots and herbs
were used as cure-alls. Every disease
was treated by giving tonic
Then came allopathy. with the Gallo
mel and quinine. and every sick per-
son got calomel and quinine. and
maybe morphine.
Next came the homeopath, with his
medicated sugar; the electic; the
Christian Science; the healer; the
osteopath; the vegetable diet man.
etc. etc. All Of the different cults
based upon a good idea, but were
carried too far. Because a particular
drug or treatment would cure one dis
ease IL was prescribed for every con-
dition.
When the X-ray was discovered II
was heralded as a cure-all. Soon x
ray instruments spran5 up all over
the country. Some doctor with a
small knowledge of medicine would
buy an X-ray machine and with 1t
treat every disease in the catalogue.
But the X-ray craze soon died out.
The X-ray was soon put into its place,
a valuable assistant TO the surgeon in
locating bullets and other foreign
bodies, in fractured bones. etc. But
the only diseases which are now
treated by the X-ray are certain skin
diseases.
Then came the surgeon with his
knife, cutting out the appendix. or
any other unruly organ, mutilating
many and curing few. Radium was
discovered. IL was a rare substance
and a great curiosity. When il was
discovered IL was heralded as a cure
all. but it has been used practically
mono in medicine.
The trouble with all these cures"
has been that they were "one idea
cures" The great cures that have
been made by the United Doctors,
who have their South Bend institute
on the second floor OF the Toepp
building on 5. Main St. opposite the
postoffice, are all made BY using the
United" system OF treatment, uniting
all the systems and using the RENE
dy that is indicated in that particular
case. whether il is allopathic. homeo-
pathic, electric or what. No two dis
eases can be treated alike. a medicine
must be made 10 fit each particular
case. That's why the United Doctors
are able 10 cure so many cases which
could not even be helped by ordinary
doctors.

South Bend Has Furnished The World Many
Famous Athletics In All Lines
Ply ROBERT scHNELLE.

South Bend has contributed con-
si5erably TO the world Of sport in
every department except pugilism and
aquatics
However. when taking the Univer-
sity OF NOtre Dame into our conf
dence we can point with pride TO
the wonderful achievements or Harry
Hebncr. the wonderful back stroke
swimmer. who speClalizes IN the 90
and 100 yard dashes and contributed
his share in giving the United States
an overwhelming majority Of points
in the international Athletic games
held at Stockholm a year ago. Mr..
Hebner Is now a member OF the Illi-
nois Athletic clubs aquatic team.
IN pagilism South Bend contribu-
ted very little as the field has never
been very conductive to that par
ticular sport. although some import
ant battles were waged here The
nearest South Bend can lay claim TO
any pugilistic celebrity is the fact that
Packey Mcfarland. one Of the most
advertised and popular wielder Of the
padded mitts in the world, fought his
professional engagement in South
Bend when he defeated louis Siefert
In four rounds. which paved the way
for his phenomenal successful career.
Producing material for track and
field sports. football and baseball in
the college world South Bend sent
out as many and perhaps more stars
than most cities of it's size. Ii would
be impossible 20 enumerate the mer-

whose names are particularly hOnOred
as champions were Walter Muessel
and j. NJ. Studebaker Jr. who were
members Of the famous Purdue foot
ball team i'm 1890, 81 and '92, when
flying wedge was very popular, which
vanquished every other college team
IN the middle west, including the
University OF Illinois, then the ac
cepted leader in athletics.
There are scores OF South Benders
who entered schools and were very
important factors in the success Of
their respective teams but South Bend
never had their achievements brought
home TO them more forcibly than
back in 1898. In that period the
Commercial Athletic club was in its
infancy and attempted 10 engage ac-

DECLARES RESOLUTIONS
ARE BETTER THAN MONEY
Rev. James Shera Montgomery
breaches Sermon He Calls
New Year Letter."

In a sermon at Metropolitan Methodist
Church last night Rev. James Shera
Montgomery delivering what he styled
a New Year letter. to his hearers, de-
clared that New Year resolutions are
infinitely better than the smiling faces
o. crisp 500 bills if put into the working
capital of our lives and given a chance
to earn interest"
New Year day is an altar that in
spires and gives greater incentive to do
better and better with our own failings,"
said Rev. Mr. Montgomery. THE most
sacred shrines this world holds are the
hours in which we take fresh courage and
make high resolutions 10 be what We
know we ought to be. We become inten-
tionaily bad only when We cease to have
good intentions"
DIR. Montgomery made a strong plea in
his sermon for more determinatio on the
part of the young men and young women
of today, saying that SO many young
lives lack detiniteness and therefore
''wabble through life and stumble into
final oblivion" Resolutions" he said.
never amount TO anything unless you
resolve against something and then use
every bit OF your manhood or your wom-
anhood to live up to that resolution as
closely as you can"

son n1Qyepent was voiced by Rev. Mr..

the meeting of the Washington Secu-

ject being Liberty and the Great Lib
ertarians."
Coming two words, Mr.. Sprading said
that, speaking generally. mankind
may be divided into two groups, "au-
thoritarians'' and '1ibertarians."
"The authoritarian" he said, "be-
lieves in making people good. while
the libertarian believes in allowing
people to be good. The libertarian
thinks 1t better to convince than to
compel, while the authoritarian tries
to force others to his way of think
ing"

SCHOOL LANDS SUIT
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Ownership Of Quarter Million Acres
in Alabama May Be Decided
by Highest Tribunal.

The novel and bitter fight in Ala
bama over the ownership of quarter
million of acres of land donated by
the United States to Alabama for school
purposes, upon its admission into the
Union in 1919, was renewed here to-
day, when the Supreme Court of the
United States was requested in a
printed brief to dismiss the recent ap-
peal OF the state of Alabama from a
decision of the Alabama Supreme Court
holding the title of Sudie Schmidt to
one of the tracts in question good as
against the state.
The Schmidt case is a test suit and
will not only control the ownership of
all the land in dispute in Alabama, but
will also serve as a precedent In other
states where school lands have been
similarly disposed of.
Due to Passage of Alabama Law.
The controversy arises out of the pas
sage in 1S40 by the Alabama legislature
of law providing that a certain number
of years of actual, open possession of
school lands would suffice to give the oc-
cupant good title to the lands. This
was enacted because of fear entertained
by purchasers of the land that they would
lose their title because of the bad shape in
which the land records of the state were
said to have been kept Sudie Schmidt
claims to have been in possession of her
tract since 1870. The state took steps to
oust her on the ground that the statute
of 1910 was unconstitutional in that ii
was in conflict with the trust imposed
upon tthe state by the federal govern
ment, which had given the land to the
state 'for the use of schools
The attorneys for Sudie Schmidt in their
brief ask for the dismissal of the appeal
on the theory that a state is estopped
from appealing to thte Supreme Court to
have that tribunal declare unconstitu-
tional one of its own laws upheld as con-
stitutional by its own courts in several
decisions.

Mrs. James, Notwithstanding her argu-
mentS to the contrary, is one of the really
worth while women in Washington. Over
two years ago she found it necessary to
withdraw largely from social life and to
renounce numerous other interests. in or
der to recuperate from a desperate ILL
ness. Now that she has almost entirely
regained her health, it is only a ques-
takes the position in public life which
she is admirably fitted to grace.
Before her marriage Mrs. James was
Miss Ruth Thomas. She was born in
Marion, KY, the home town of Senator
James, but because her father was a
Methodist minister she claims many Ken
lucky cities as home. She Is deeply in
terested in many charitable projects in
the capital. especially those which deal
with the sick and afflicted.
Mrs. James is a practical woman and
believes strongly in vocational training.
especially for girls She says:
TO be obliged to acknowledge ignor-
ance OF practical, everyday matters is
weakness in any woman, no matter
what her gifts may be. l believe in those
schools that give practical training to
boys and girls in the earlier grades and
life, provided they have to seek employ
ment before they have had the advantage
of a high school course or college edu-
cation. Many of them have to get to
work as soon as they complete the gram
mar course, and to many of these the
lack some kind Of technical training is a
decided handicap"
