Inc human body has its police
toree-the white corpuscles of the
oIood-which multiply with wonder
tul rapidly when any part of the
pody Is attacked, and rush to that
part. They are the warriors. the de-
lenders OF society For instance,
when any part of the body is wound
ed, the white corpuscles vastly null
tlply, and are rushed to that point.
What we call pus or matter is really
mixture OF the decayed portions of
the body and these white corpuscles,
these policemen or warriors who
have died in their attempt to REM
| edy the evil done. Man has natural
enemies, malignant germs, which
are usually kept out of the system by
the skin. But when there is a wound
these malignant germs find ready ac-
cess, and make the work OF these
policemen OF the body much more
N'AAANUAb anu dangerous.
We have an example of this in the
body polite in the lockouts and the
strikes in various eastern cities,
where congestion OF population,
wealth and forces hostile to the we'll
being OF the whole system exist
showing that this nation, notwith-
standing its boast of health and
Yigor, is not entirely well, is in fact
sick.
Our readers may think that this is
fanciful. We ask them to look into
the subject more carefully. IL we
are to have national health, we will
do well to consider the body of a
well man, one who is we'll all over.
whose food supply is abundant but
rot excessive, whose digestion and
eXcretory system is in good working
order, whose methods of distribution
are working perfectly, the heart beat
ing strong and full and steady, with
out jerks or palpitations or missing
beats.
The regeneration or the system
must begin with agriculture and with
the agricultural communities, in
or0er that there may be full sup
ply of that which, after all, is the
first condition of life in either man
or nation. Just at present the ma
ton is complaining of a deficient
food supply. The difficulty, how
ever, does not come from too small
supply, but mainly from the OBJ
sta Cles in the way of getting a food
supply to the stomach. A man can
net either eat or digest very well,
can not feel healthy and entirely
comfortable, If his food has to fight
its way to the mouth, if the teeth
are out of order, and the supply of
saliva is not abundant.
Laying aside all fancies, the thing
that this nation needs is the kind of
CO. operation between farmers, manu-
faCturers, distributors and statesmen,
that will enable each particular
group of men to do, its proper work
and cooperate with each other in as
kindly and effective way as the var
ious groups of cells in the human
body, each working for the good of
tie whole.

that he was "fearfully and wonder
fully made" Man is Gods greatest
work on earth. The human system
furnishes the model on which all
other human systems are construct
ed and the structure of society is
largely human, it's imperfections
show that; and it should be con-
structive. Give us healthy communi-
ties (small groups of cells) in the
gether, and we shall have a healthy
nation.
In other words, the real health of
the nation depends on cooperation
between it's different parts; and CO.
operation is something which we are
just beginning to learn. If every cell
in the human body was as individual
istic as some farm rs are, there
would soon be urgent need of the
doctor, and the funeral would not be
faI off. The individuals of other
groups of people have learned bast-
ard sort of cooperation, which we
call mbination-co-oper for
purely selfish purposes. The saliva
ton of the farming interests lies in
the study and practice of genuine CO.
operation, in which the individual
works not for himself, but for the
benefit of the group or community
