HAVE THE MACHINE LOOKED
OVER.

A person writing to health de-.
partment of a newspaper describes
symptoms and wants to know wheth-
er he has tuberculosis.
Why didn't he go to reputable
general practitioner or a specialist
and find out whether he had con-
sumption? Who can diagnose his
condition by mail on his own list of
symptoms!
If there is one thing where people
show lack of judgment and evince
ignorance it is in the matter of their
health.
Persons who have arrived at mid
die age should have themselves ov-
erhauled now and then in search
! for faulty adjustments. They would
do as much for an automobile or a
Irvine binder. The farmer who would
set his machine in the field without
carefully tightening bolts and look
ing the entire machine over-well,
there isn't such a farmer, unless he
is on a mortgaged farm. Business
men require a balance sheet of their
business operation. They watch the
health of their business, feeling it's
pulse.
The man with so important ma
chine as himself needs to watch it
when it begins to wear. The bust
ness of living needs balance sheet
quite as surely as any other bust
ness
Men who are growing old need not
be hypochrondiacs in order to take
good care of themselves. They should
now and then seek examination of
the important organs. Kidney
troubles are very often to be checked
and avoided by early knowledge of
the conditions and proper caution
on the part of the man who needs
kidneys in his business. Nine out OF
every ten deaths from tuberculosis
may be avoided if the affected per-
son finds out in time and takes the
proper precautions of living toward
cure. The fact is that most men
dying of chronic diseases might have
avoided suffering and in most cases
have added many years of life had
they had the machine '"gone over"
now and then for bad adjustments,
excess strain on parts and had
sought advice as to how they must
run the "old machine in order to
get tue HOSC wear OuI u H.
In modern medicine, the chief
value of the physician is an advisory
one. That is what we are coming
to. He is to be the human mechan-
ician, not the blacksmith.
But why any person fearing the
affection of tuberculosis should write
to a newspaper thousand miles
away asking question important to
himself and so easily answered in
the next block is a puzzle.-Mar-
shalltown Times-Republican.

The agony we aresD&ssih6 through
in connection with currency Revision
is necessary agony. The very pro-
posal to revise the currency laws has
to a certain extent un1ettled the
money market. This was az newt
able as that the, vigorous use of a
broom should raise dust. The pre-
sentation to congress Of asdefinite
plan has called forth fusilade of
criticisms. Such is the lot of every
serious proposal for reform offered
| in the legislative field. An antagon-
ism has developed between certain
banking interests and the sponsors
of the administration measure. This
detail is part of the history of every
currency bill ever introduced in con-
gress, There have been material
changes made in the bill since it ap-
peared. Through such process of
development every piece OF vital leg
islation has to pass.
! Now that we have come thus far,
now that the inevitable disturbances
of business which accompanies cur
rency legislation has been met and
| Weathered, let us, in reasons name,
carry the work through and get out
on the other side of the experience.
We shall never have currency re-
form except at the price of weather
ing just such a succession of squalls
as we are now in the midst of, and
the bigger and richer the country
gets the more serious will become
the task and the greater the hazard.
But there is a second great rea-
son for keeping on. Not only have
the difficulties encountered been in
evitable ones, but the greatest of all
difficulties in the way of currency
reform has not shown it's head. That
is popular distrust of legislative in
tention. There has been much criti-
cism and much opposition, but we
have yet to hear the first charge
| against the administration of sus-
ceptibility to sinister influences, or
lack of entire good faith. Now is a
time when all men-bankers, mer-
chants, the great general public
trust the government and pay tribute
to it's purpose.
This is an advantage of priceless
value. The great periods in popular
government are periods of popular
confidence in official good intent.
The moral factor in good legislation
is rarer than the intellectual. To-
day the preliminary work Of break
ing up the soil is done, and our
rulers have the confidence of the
people. If we are ever to revise the
currency laws successfully We ought
to be able to do it now.-St. Louis
Republic.

comfortable in mind as well as in body.

new effects as timely as the calendar;
they are sure to impress You; and some
staple styles that seem never to lose
their popularity.
Kuppenheimer tailoring is famous,
among those who know, as the refine
ment of specialized skill. The name has
been a recognized leader in good
clothes-making for many years. IT has
the prestige Of quality and stands for
style.
However much or little you may know

MGR. CERRETT| MAY
RECEIVE ELEVATION
Former Secretary to Legation
Here Considered as Legate,
According to Report.

Monsignor Cerretti, recently relieved
as secretary of the papal legation in
this city, where he has been stationtd
for several years, is being considered
by Pope Plus as capable prelate for
elevation to the church diplomatic posi-
ton of papal legate according to in
formation of an authoritative source
received in Washington today
With the assignment at the Washing
ton legation of the Catholic Church of
Monsignor Misurata as secretary to sue
ceed Monsignor Cerretti the impress
sion that the Vatican intends to regard
the United States as a far more import
ant church diplomatic post than ever is
corroborated. Not because the new sec
retary is more highly esteemed at the
Vatican as a diplomat is the impress
sion substantiated. but because the Pope
intends in all probability merely TO add
another diplomat to the personnel OF
the local post.
1t is probable that Monsignor Cerretti
will return to Washington as auditor
of the legation in event the Pontiff
does not at this time see fit to elevate
him to the position of legate. One OF
the two actions will be taken. Monsig-
nor Cerretti will sail for Rome about
; May 10 and will spend at least two
months at the headquarters city of the
church.
Monsignor Misurata, now secretary OF
the legation. is scarcely past his Thrift
eth year.
Secretary of the Washington legation
is the second diplomatic position to
which he has been assigned by the Vat
lean. Until coming to Washington he
was secretary of the church legation in
the Philippines. There are two grades
of secretaries and two grades of audit
ors In the church diplomatic service.
Monsignor Misurata's assignment here
promotes him from second secretary to
first secretary.
Monsignor Cerretti has been first au-
ditor and acted as secretary Of the
legation. Either Pope Plus will send
Monsignor Cerretti back to Washington.
or elevate him to the position Of legate
and send him to some other country
and send some other prelate to take the
place Of auditor of the American lega-

TO CLOSELY EXAMINE
ALL FUTURE BONDS
Bonds in the Municipal Courts
will be closely examined in the
future as a result of orders issued
yesterday by States Attorney
Hoyne, following similar inves-
tigation ordered by Judge Ian
dis in the federal courts.
Hoyne will seek to prevent pro-
fessional bondsmen signing bonds
if they are surety on any forfeited
bonds that have not been made
good. The states attorney de-
clared that bondsmen signed for
the release of habitual criminals,
knowing at the time the man ar
rested would not appear for trial.
In these cases many continuances
are taken, and it was declared
