NATURoPATHs SAY:

IN 1SEASE is an effort Of nature to
~ remove poisonous or morbid mat
ter from the system, and to re-
store normal conditions
Drugs taken into the stomach, and
filthy animal matter injected into the
blood, interfere with these healing pro-
cesses of nature, suppressing symptoms
of disease, while never effecting o
cure.
Tho germ theory is superstition.
OF disease, just as maggots are not the
cause of rotting meat, Many germs
are not only harmless, but are bene-
ficial and necessary. At any time you
may find in the throats of many peo-
pie who will never get those diseases,
the germs of diphtheria, cholera, tu-
berculosis, and other so-called "infee-
tious" diseases.
There is no such thing as "infee.
ton" or contagion," as generally
understood. Skin diseases or blood
diseases may be passed from one per-
son to another by direct contact, where
there Is an abrasion of the skin.
Therefore, all quarantine is useless an
noyance. .
There are no superfluous organs. A
great majority of surgical operations
performed nowadays are not only un-
necessary, but dangerous and harm
full, and should be forbidden by law.
There are rational means Of aiding
nature to purify the system and ro-
store health. Among these are dict
fasting, active and passive exercise,
hydrotherapy, tthe adjustment Of the
spine (osteopathy, Chiropractic, etc.),
deep breathing of fresh air, sun and
air baths, rest, sleep and mental sug-
gestion.
Next to air, food is the most vital
of all subjects relating to the care
of the body. Food is the material Of
which the body is formed. You can
not make good suit Of clothes out
of bad wool. AS a man eateth 80
is he.
Honey is as wholesome and nourish-
ing as concentrated refined cane sugar
is unwholesome and lacking in nourish-
ment. 1 always advise my consultants
to substitute honey for sugar. Honey
is q medicine as well as food. Give
It to the children in place of candy.
Glucose is more harmful than sugar.
There are important differences even
in pure honey according to the condi-
lions under which it is made, just an
there is a great difference in fruit, ae-
:ording to the soil on which it is
grown. Dark red honey is much the
best, although the people demand light
yellow honey, Just as they insist ON
light colored dried fruit, because they
eat with their eyes and do not think.

CHEAP MUTTON

n rEWS from the West Is that we
M are to have cheap lamb and
mutton the coming year. But
at what cost! Sheep growers,
discouraged by the free wool clause
of the tariff law. are selling off their
flocks and will glut the market during
the coming year with both lamb and
mutton.
This for the moment will give us a
much desired cut in the price of sheep
meat. but 1t will be followed by rise
that promises to be out of all proper
ton to the temporary decrease. Lamb
will become prohibitory in price and
mutton will soar beyond the cost of
beef.
All this in order that the foreign
sheep grower may have the benefit of
an American market, on the suppo-
sition that wool clothing will be
thereby reduced in price; a supposition
that the facts in the case already show
to be false. In other words. as a re-
suit of free wool we are to be de-
prived of our sheep-growing industry,
mutton and lamb are to go UP in price
and clothing is to be no cheaper.

TUESDAY EVENING,

1t is for special Thrift Day'-a
day when each pupil shall be i'm
pressed with the importance of thrift
in their daily lives.
! 1t seems strange that Abraham Lin
coins advice to teach economy, one
of the first and highest virtues" is,
after half a century, only beginning to
be followed by educators.
In Massachusetts, New York and
Minnesota there are laws which make
it optional but not compulsory to
teach thrift in the public schools.
The school savings banks are making
some headway in various parts of the
country, but take it by and large, it
is a lamentable fact that little is being
done in the public schools of the coun-
try to give the children a grounding
in the essentials of thrift.
Much is being said about agricul-
tural and other vocational education,
about manual training and domestic
science in the public schools, but there
is no well defined plan for adding
thrift training to the school curricu-
lum.
+ If it is worth while to teach the
farmer to wrest more from the soil,
is it not worth while to show him also
how to administer to better advan-
tage his newly created wealth?
A school superintendent in a large
city when asked what was being done
in the public schools under his super
vision to Systematically instill the
thrift idea, replied Absolutely moth
ing" A member of the school board
in the same city, asked whether he
did not think thrift training should
have a prominent place in our educa-
tional system, replied That is a mat
ter for the home"
And yet, if we look about us, we
see the heads of homes themselves
setting appalling examples of riotous
extravaganza.
Children in schools study mathe-
matics; why not give them practical
examples of the wonders of compound
interest to work out?
They have Emerson Days" Ste
venson Days." and all kinds of days
which are observed by reading selec-
tions from the various authors whose
work they commemorate; why not
have Thrift Day" once in while?
The majority of students being
turned out of the public schools are
totally lacking in knowledge of
finance even that rudimentary part Of
it dealing with the importance Of reg
ular saving. 1t would shorten the
road to success for most of them If
Thrift" were taken from its obscurity
and made vital theme in our edu-
cational system, as has already been
done In some European countries.

THE STUART BOOM FOR COVER
NOR
(Philadelphia Bulletin }

NtHllduelpIlld bulleJln.)
The sentiment which Republicans
in various parts of the State are be-
ginning to express in connection with
the nomination for Governor in May
next, is that the candidate shall be a
man who will be free of anything in
his character or record which will
handicap his party and who will be
strong enough not only to hold the
full regular vote, but to appeal effec-
lively to the many thousands of the
Progressives of 1912 who are not very
far away from the Republican lines.
In the course of the discussion Of
names that have been proposed for
the Gubernatorial office, there has
been none that has been received
with more approval on the score of
both availability and fitness for that
purpose than that OF Ex-Governor
Stuart. Even ex-Secretary Knox ap-
pears to be much less an object of
good will and consideration in this
respect than the Ex-Governor.
Mr. Stuart's personal popularity in
Philadelphia is one of the most ia
milar facts in our political life. But
he has made hardly less of an i'm
preston in the past few years on the
rank and file of his party and large
portion of it's working forces in the
interior of the State. His clean, prac-
tical and level-headed qualities, to-
gether with the fact that his admin
istration as Governor was one Of the
most satisfactory in the recent his
tory of Pennsylvania, have given him
a strong place in the esteem of the
people in almost every county.
If the Republican party is to get
into the next campaign with chance
Of regaining the State there Is no
candidate, present or prospective, for
Its Gubernatorial nomination who
would be more likely to hold it's pres
ent vote and to win back large por-
tion Of the lost vote of 1912 than ex-
Governor Stuart would be. Whether

WORKING FOR NOTHING

RUST companies are very justly
complaining against that clause
of the new income tax act that
makes them involuntary collec-
tion agents without compensation and
requires them to- pay the expenses
they incur in making such collections.
This, it would seem, is inflicting on
for being in business and is not in
accordance with those constitutional
provisions against the taking of pri-
vate property for public use without
just compensation. Neither does the
Constitution permit of involuntary
servitude.
But the income tax law lays on the
shoulders of the trust companies "a
burden of expense amounting in effect
to a tax in excess of the return to the
bank or trust company in the business
out of which this expense arises" and
provides for absolutely no pay for the
service rendered.
In effect the law says to the trust
tax collector. You can't decline;
you've got to serve; but we don't in
tend to pay you for the work and you
will be required to pay your own ex-
penses."
Fine American law. isn't it? How
would you like to have the provisions
enumerated applied to you?
