May Trust Wilson

Enactment of currency legislation has been
a difficult labor for President Wilson and his
congress. Now that the task may Se looked
back upon and measured in its completeness,
there is not much reason why should be sur
prised that large part of extraordinary
session, and part of ordinary session, were
needed to finish the work. The currency bill
is of the largest abors that the government
has ever done.
But with the legislative iahors out of he way,
there upon President Wilson hardly less
/ a responsibility in the appointment OF the mem
bers of the Federal reserve board The powers
which the members of that board viii exercise
are almost incalcuabe. They VIII form what
may be called dictatorship in the world of fl
nance. They win be nearly superhuman. Al
their nod the tides of commerce will rise and
fall. and individual fates will float to fortune
ground upon the flats OF adversely.
President Wilson far has displayed in his
appointments acumen and wisdom that
are Enthusiastically individualistic From a
political point of view, he has been a disappoint
| ment in several respects; he has overlooked
/ good party to favor nonparty men seemingly
! without the attributes that would compensate
for lack of partisan claims At the same time.

themselves up civic purists to have favored
/ political loyalty instead OF dsinterested virtue,
But when Mr.. Wilson'S appointments are viewed

The nation may trust him to the same
qualities OF craftsmanship in the appointment
OF the federal reserve board It will not be
enough for these reserve board members to
have an academic knowledge of banking: they
must have intimate experience of business
big business ana little business. too,
1t will not be hard for the president to find
men who are honest well able. There
never was a time when honor shone bright err
than it does today. The big Of today has
to be honest-that Is the prerequisite of his
success. The CRATER never becomes anything
greater than a CRATER. The president needs
only to look upon the big men of this country
the men who have made this country-to ind the
men he needs He will find them willing as

of any country been more willing to help their

Japan S Queer Behavior

Washington may refuse for the present to
show any annoyance over 1t, but Washington must
be watching with keen interest and good deal
of surprise the dealings of Japan with Huerta 9
government. a Japanese government arsenal
is selling arms to Huerta; Japanese sailors and
marines to be landed in Mexico, and to
pay courtesy visit to the capital, though
other nations have carefully refrained from
landing naval forces Mexican soil: and now
comes the news that Francisco De La Barra.
Huerta's special envoy has been received with
ostentatious graciousness by the mikado, has
been accorded the honor of taking part in A
luncheon at the imperial palace, and has been
decorated by the Emperor " oshihito with the
grand Gordon OF the order of Paulownia,
OF course. Japan is entirely within her rights
in doing all these things il she wants to, but
the surprising thing Is that she should want
to. This government has refused to countenance
Huerta. 1t has asked the other nations of the
world to lend their cooperation in the policy
which 1t has adopted and the other nations have
complied to the extent that Huerta, wherever
he has turned. has met but cold and hostl.

THAT ANGLo-GERM.N ALLIANCE.

The United States has passed Germany in
now ranks SECOND to Great Britain, whom she
is pushing closely enough to alarm. The peoples
of South America are beginning to understand
US better and that means more trade with our
southern neighbors and possible supplanting
of Germany and a probable supplanting of Great
Britain. The trade Of the United States with
all foreign countries is increasing rapidly and
rapidly Uncle Sam is menacing the foreign trade
of Germany and Great Britain.
Naturally this makes our friends across the
waters peevsh. Naturally 1t makes them look
wildly about for means of averting the
pending catastrophe. When to 1t all is added
the fact that England and Germany are de
liberately making Of themselves porters for that
old man of the sea--a huge navy--there is no
cause for surprise that there should come to us
rumors that Germany and Great Britain are
preparing 10 form a trade alliance against tho
usurper Of the West
Nevertheless, we take with a grain OF salt
the stories OF an Anglo German alliance against
the United States England and Germany have
too long in open competition for the control Of
the sea; traditional business and military rivals
for too many scores of years to join suddenly In
common cause against one who has been the
friend of both for so many years. England and
the United States about to celebrate
hundred years of peace. With Germany we
have never had war. Sons of both nations
make up the greater part of our population
There have been and trade rivalries, OF
course, but we do not believe that they have
reached the point of open war: that they have
become so bitter that traditional enemies can
combine against US, We believe further that
If Germany and Great britain would put into
banking and industries and merchant vessels

Commerce, the Travellers Protective association
and the citizens generally willing to accept 1t

In sight
That both the city and the hospital will gain
by the acceptance seems to be generally ad-
mitted. Certainly the college never intended
to offer a hospital to the city without return
they trying to create that impression. The
clinical advantages to be derived from the con-
troll Of the hospital by the Medical college staff
are the benefits expected. The hitch has come.
It seems to us. over practically nothing. The
college authorities apparently fear that to
agree to the insertion into the conditions
of paragraph assuring prospective patients
OF the right to summon their own physicians
would eliminate all the benefits to be derived,
We cannot understand that fear. Few of the
patients would care to exercise that privilege
and to those few the college does not wish to
deny the privilege, If we understand the rather
tangled explanations and comments made The
objection seems to be to the Umlauf resolution
making this condition part of the contract.
To our mind the Umlauf resolution is not of the
greatest Importance to the city, and yet is de-
sirable. On the other hand 1t viii not deprive
the medical students OF the advantages the au-
thorites wish to give them.

The Enabling Act

The November 21st edition of the Richmond
News Leader contained an editorial on the
enabling act, which is quiteo the most extra
ordinary composition bearing that subject
which we nave seen published. In his intro
ductory remarks the editor states follows:
The News Leader stands for everything that
1t believes to he for the lasting benefit OF the
people we believe in temperance and
try to show belief by life Surely the most
insastent advocate of temperance could ask for
open and straightforward statement OF
anyones position, yet in the face of this the
'oiowing statement is made: We shall oppose
ic passage OF the enabling act and shall not
hvUr Statewide prohibition If that act he
passed" Following this five for
Taking this remarkable stand, which the editor
declares are not the Leaders reasons at all. The
two reasons which he does give for opposing
measure which he admits is put forth by the
temperance people for the avowed purpose Of
first, the Leader does not believe the sentiment
of the people OF Virginia would support prohibit
ton and. secondly, that the temperance cause
would be set back thirty years because of the
frequent attractions of such law If passed.
We do not. of course mean to insfhuate that
the temperate News Leader Is insincere in its
statement of its position. but II is most as
tonishing coincidence that the allied liquor in
terests all the whiskey dealers and all the
sal 90 nkeepers of the State of Virginia, like
the Leader opposed to the passage of the
enabling act and not in favor of Statewide
prohibition, If that act be passed
Is II possible that their high sense of what
Is for the lasting benefit of the people of Vir-
ginia, like that of the News Leader leads them

OdOr From Sewer
Puts Lakes Water
In False Repute

An open sewer on Piedmont Ave-
nue., emitting noxious odors which
were waited over Piedmont Park. was
responsible for the false rumor that
the waters of Piedmont bathing lake
were polluted. President ]. 0. Coch-
ran, of the park board, has taken
official cognizance of the damaging
reports and issued an emphatic de-
NAL
The water in Piedmont lake is as
pure as the water we drink, ana the
United States Government within the
week pronounced our drinking water
perfect" said Mr.. Cochran Saturday.
Piedmont Lake is a running stream;
a million gallons of fresh water are
pumped in every day from the reser-
voir, and a million gallons run out
at the other end"
To make matters doubly sure. Pres
ident Cochran has requested the CITY
bacteriologist to test the lake wa
tiers, and the county commissioners
already have started work closing the
sewer which gave off the unsavory
smell.

the time we need them.
Il do not say abstinence from meats
is necessary, but simply that they are

Of fruits and vegetables which are

Alcohol at this time Of the year
is not going to benefit any one. Plenty
Of Chattahoochee water is my doc

drinks are always refreshing. They
promote healthful excretions from the
skin.
Exercise is always desirable. A
certain amount is necessary to get
rid of products that make you feel
bad Exercise is necessary in the
hot summer time.
Bathing helps, because 1t stimu-
lates the skin. A good rubbing down
after a bath is fine.
Swimming is good exercise-you

Fresh air is necessary. A closed
room at night is deleterious, especial
ly at this time of the year A sleep
ing porch is a good thing. Circulation
of the air is desirable, but don't sit
under a fan for it might make you
sick,
NO man can say just how much
you mitigate the effects Of hot
weather, but il is undoubtedly true
that by dieting, bathing and exercis-
ing and careful attention to all daily
habits, any one can better withstand
the rigors OF hot day than the man
who eats anything and drinks any
thing and does anything he wants TO.
Nobody can regulate the weather,
but anybody, to some extent, can reg
ulate himself. and if you regulate
yourself you regulate the effect of
the weather on yourself"
DR.. Summerall said the lean man
needed to watch himself as well as
the Cat man, for the fat man might
know how to take things easy bet
ter than the lean man"
THE high strung man, the nervous
man, the man who is always in a
hurry, whom we might designate as
the race horse type. because he is
so energetic he passes everybody in
front of him, is liable in a way TO
feel the heat more than the languid
man who moves slowly and takes
things easy. If the lean man would
take things a little more moderately
and the fat man would take q little
more exercise and pay more attention
to his daily habits, they would both
stand the heat better"

His Five Precepts and Five Don'ts
Will Help You Endure the
Blazing Sun,

you can't regulate the weather, so
why not regulate yourself?"
DR.. w. L. Summerall, superinten-
dent Of Grady hospital, asked the
question And in the next breath he
told a Georgian reporter it was en-
tirely practicable to mitigate the eff
fects of a scorching sun and stand
the heat without serisus impairment
to ones mental, physical or spiritual
makeup
Hot weather is something that
must be endured" said he You
can't change it, and unless you are
a millionaire you can't run away
from it. Cussin' the weather is as
futile as praying for rain or voting
the Republican ticket in Arkansas
The only thing to do is to regulate
your habits: to take the hot weather
as matter Of course and counteract
the effects of the heat by your daily
actions"
DR.. Summerall's advice on how 20
stand the heat may. be summarized
in five precepts and five "don'ts."
Here are the precepts:
Take plenty of exercise.
Breathe fresh air
Keep clean. inside and outside
Diet yourself.
Drink soft drinks"
Gives You Five Don'ts.
The five don'ts, practically the same
as the precepts, stated inversely, are
the following:
Abstain from heavy and heat pro-
ducing foods.
Abstain from alcohol
Don't sit under a fan.
Don't sleep in a closed room.
Don't be lazy.
If you come in my Office at 3
o'clock any afternoon you would say

myself" DR.. Summerall said But
it is a fact that the effects of a hot
day can be greatly lessened and that
too, without trouble, expense or loss
Of time"
DR.. Summerall proceeded to discuss
his idea, as follows:
This is the time of year when
your diet tells on you. Heavy and
heat producing foods will certain
ly make you feel the heat. BY heavy
and heat producing foods l mean
meats, dried beans, and the like
