Printers Ink as a Medicine.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Printers ink is saving more lives
than any other single agency employed
by modern health workers" said Ed
ward A. Moree, assistant secretary Of the
New York State Charities Aid Associa-
ton, in an address at Rochester the other
day.
Right for himl
Printers ink is the essential liquor Of
democracy. Kings hate II. All the
manipulators of privilege dread it. 1t Is
poison to the tyrant Of the old world
and the boss of the new.
II is the sine qua non of liberty. Lib
erty to human souls is what light is to
human bodies.
Where there is no liberty there is
darkness. Where there is darkness there
is disease.
1t is printers ink that has scared the
food takers. Only at good round OF
printers ink will the vile, carriOn flock
of unclean birds that fatten on human
credulity and ignorance take flight, they
that sell plaster Of Paris for bread. car
penters' glue for candy and God knows
what vileness for fish, flesh, and fowl.
Printers ink has prevented more
tuberculosis than all the doctors have
cured. It has spread right ideas of SAM
tation. upset old mildewed superstitions.
opened windows, lured people outdoors,
flooded fearsome brains with truth and
despairing hearts with hope.
1t has built hospitals and supports
them.
II has prevented epidemics, driven
hush-mouth authorities to activity In
remedial measures of cleansing. Cholera
and smallpox were conquered by 1t;
malaria and yellow fever flee before it.
II is all well enough to give an indi-
vidual EPSON salts or calomel, but what
the public needs for what ails it is plenty
Of printers ink.
There is some value in the medical
profession, but also deal OF hocus pocus,
as there is in everything that becomes
professionalism. The best part Of the
science of medicine is that part which can
be told in plain language so that the COM
mon man can understand. Every news
paper ought to have its health depart
ment
What people need to know is the truth
about health. about food and about SIM
ple living. The more truth they know
the less drugs they will take, the less
useless and harmful food they will eat,
and the less they will run after religious
curealls and crazy fads.
The newspaper is the health OF the
state.
"You may cure individuals of their ills
in the privacy Of the sickroom, says Mr..
Moree. "but to cure the public Of its ills
Won must get into the newspapers

Did You Discover Yesterday
Was Columbus Day?

Columbus Day (Oct. 12) has come and
gone and the city has kept on its tread
mill way, punctuating its tedium with
few more automobile accidents and the
various smaller happenings which come
with the rising tide of noon and sweep
back again with the receding hours OF
the night.
Few in this great city have thought of
the man who revolutionized the science
of astronomy and. by his marvellous
mind and invincible courage, brought to
view a vast new continent.
There is little in the whole history of
the world to compare with the act of this
solitary individual who, against all OPP
position derision. scorn, poverty and the
wisdom of the times, kept his soul free
and swerved not from his purpose until it
was accomplished.
To Isabella of CASTLE, the advanced
woman of her day, who was able to see
his vision and willing to part with her
Jewels, the only thing she possessed, in
order that it might be realized, we owe
allegiance and debt we can only repay
by helping others who may come with
new inspiration for the future.
There is probably no proposition which

tude and audacity which this idea held
for the Europe Of the 18th century.
From our own manner of receiving
anything which deviates from our well
trodden paths of thought: our suspicious
of the sanity of the perpetrator of the
new thought; our secret intolerance, the
impossibiliy Of inducing the public to
lend sympathetic ear, we may have
some slight conception of the difficulties
which confronted Columbus in his under

Enthusiastically. was the general verdict.
When he had finally gotten his three
little ships and had sailed for weeks.
straining his eyes for sight of the land
he could not see, his sailors rebelled and
turned the prows toward home.
Still his faith was unweakened and he
plead with them for just three days
more, and that faith which can move
mountains, found response in the hearts
of the men, for they sullenly agreed.
Three days, which he probably spent in
the PROV of his vessel. looking ahead into
the vast unknown. and then despair must
have settled upon him: when on the
ocean, rising and falling upon the waves
foated branch with fresh, green leaves.
In few hours there arose from the
sea a cloud-ike island in the distance.
Then did he fall on his knees and thank
God, and joy (which passeth under
standing" must have welled up through
his entire being.
