THE FAST CURE-FOR FASTING
(By One of the Cured, in the
independently

What housewife could resist such
temptation? No meals to get and no
dishes to wash, no marketing to do
and no accounts to balance! OF
course, l said yes when the Scientist
suggested fast week for me.
He had conceived the idea that
science was not sufficiently informed
of the results of fasting, and that
the college vacation was Il propitious
time to contribute some further
crumbs of knowledge.
OF course science would w@nt to
know the exact measure of our in
creased capacity and genius. SO the
Scientist arranged an elaborate set
of tests for each day at his labora-
tory. We measured our strength, our
steadiness and our fatigue in physi-
cal ability; our memory, our pcrcep-
ton and our speed in mental pro
cesses; and we measured our vary
ing sensibiitics to touch, taste and
smell, besid IS recording volumes
about our feelings as we surgically
dissected them.
Our program prescribed one week
OF gradually diminishing in quantity
the three meals day, so there would
be no sudden plunge from luxury
into the ethereal soul diet; and cor
responding REIMBURSEMENT to the
temptations of the delicatessen and
the summer market. This added to
the fast four days of liquid diet of
an egg and pint of milk
We maintained our ordinary civil
ian life and duties, including some
very heavy manual work, during the
first four days or five of our descent,
and were surprised at not greatly
missing the usual food. But by the
sixth day was so ineXpressably
weary that dragged myself home
like a prisoner wearing ball and
chains. felt like flower that has
begun to droop for the lack of water.
With us, however, there was no
lack of water, for in another day that
was all we were to take, and tho we
could have all of this we wanted. and
were scheduled to use Mt least three
plnts, we turned from it with great
aversion as from medicine.
Yet, | was not hungry Had food
been placed before me, | could not

to lie idle, dreading nothing as much
as having to change my position.
Day by day our weight fell off in

mand because he suggested the grin

Fer men have Struggled, fighting,
Across the suiight wy;
Where blood was sown, and tear drops
Grim harvests grow today.
Dull silence in the corfiled
Where gleeming gold and green
Give place 10 scarelt drippings,
And guns with safety sheen.
For men have fought and gasping,
Have tride, Ike beasts, to shay
Where shrieks were sown and moan
Grim harvests grow today.
A signing in the cornflcds
Among the swaying stalks,
Among the guns and cannon,
Perhaps some spirit walks.
For men have gone, unburied,
To meet their judgment day;
Where bones We're left to kitten,
Grim harvests grow today.
Black magic in the cornfeld-
Each sheaf turned to a gun,
Each pumpkin to u missile,
Blue-gleaming in the sun.
For men, million brothers,
Have, dying, tried to pray;
Where bones were left to whiten,
Grim harvests grow today.

PSALM OF WAR.

The War Lord is my shepherd; l
shall always be in want.
He maketh me to lie down in mean
trenches; he leadeth me into chill
waters.
He harasseth my soul; he leadeth
me into hellish combat for his fame's
sake.
Yea, though come unscathed from
the shadow of death, shall be no bet
ter off, for thou art still with me;
thy tyranny and thy taxes discomfort
me.
Thou preparest danger for me in
the presence of so-called enemies;
thou makest me useless toll; mu cup
runneth empty.
Surely evil and hatred follow me
all the days of my life, and 1 shall
dwell in the army of the War Lord
forever.-Ellis o. Jones, in Life.

THE MAN WHO MADE MONEY
OUT OF IT."

Under the above heading Golfers
tells a sad story. 1t runs like this:
A young man labored hard all sum-
mer to save money enough to sup
port his family during the winter,
and something over if possible to i'm
prove small ranch he had pur-
chased near Spokane, Washington.
He saved $3.50 in gold, went through
town, got drunk, and lost his mon
sy, every cent, how, he was unable to
tell. All that he had left was a
first-class headache. The drink bill
of $3.50 must be paid by the public in
some way, perhaps in charitable con-
tributions to the young mans sup
port this winter. The police of all
the cities are familiar with such "dirty
booze robberies."
The Spokane paper, says Golfers,
which gave an account of this occur
renee, carries large double column
ad. of n booze joint, offering in the
most enticing manner possible, to
sell whiskey, "the best on EARTH" in
any quantity No doubt part of the
$3.50 stolen from the "unfortunatc
boob" went to pay the advertising bill
for the saloon keepers ad. Golfers
adds:
at is hog-itch for profit that keeps
booze going, and this means those who
boost it as we'll as those who sell it,"
Booze will go when the Christian
people Of this christian nation" say
so.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug

harmless vegetable substitute for dan

if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max

your money.
If you take calomel today you will
be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-

you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.

TIE TYRANNY OF THE MI
N0RITY.
(l'rom the Independent. !


With the assembling of new Con-
grcss the question of the respective
rights of the majority in the Senate
pops up again. The rules of the SEN
ate permit recaltritant minority,
no matter how small, to obstruct
a given piece of Legislation just as
long as the determination and the
physical endurance of its members
hold out. Each member must be de-
bated until every Senator who wants
to speak on the subject has been
heard. In the Senate the clotula is
nnknown; there is no such thing as
the previous question. The time of
voting upon a bill and the duration
of the debate are fixed not by the
will of the majority but by the within
of the minority.
This is sheer absurdity. In a rep
resentative assembly the majority
ought to rule. Unless it does, the
popular will is thwarted. 1t is the
essential function of a representative
assembly to record, as nearly as may
be, the popular will.
This rule of the majority, it is true,
sometimes leads to something like
tyranny. But the tyranny of a ma
Jority is sometimes better than the
tyranny of the minority.
The present rule of the Senate is ri
diculous. 1t makes tyrant of the mi
nority. 1t ought to be changed.
