Needs, Wants and Happiness

Some folks say
That II we all had everything we need
We would all be happy.
Having everything we need
Would make few Of us happy.
It's not just the things we need that would
bring happiness.
IT'S the things we want, that we think are
necessary 10 such q state Of being.
There's a whole lot Of difference
Between what we really need
And what we want
The chances are that II everyone Of US bad
everything We want today we would not be
happy tomorrow.
BY that time would have seen something
the other fellow had that we didn't have
And We would want that
But II everyone Of us had everything We really
need
And would proceed 10 get all coyetousness, en-
Wy and greed out OF our systems
And get love. charity, mercy and kindness into
our systems
And would keep the latter on the job all the
time
WsIl--true happiness would be more general

Over 20 times. In the past ave

have been arrested for vagrancy,
often while begging for dimes In
business buildings which were once
owned by the father Of one or the

one thing which was not sordid
and repulsive and awful In their
downfall. II was the fidelity Of the
bedraggled and disgraced woman
for TIE man with whom she had
sunk to the dregs. When he was
committed to the workhouse by
Magistrate Breen-who had been a

wife followed the prison van. and
camped out for i've days and nights
at the Manhattan landing Of the
Blackwell's Island ferry. waiting
until he should return to her. That
time, they had been arrested for
sleeping IN Railways.
How did II all come about! Just
plain, simple booze! Just the same
sort OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
that we all invest In. There was
no sorrow and no illness and no
other excuse for the engulfment OF
two God-given souls In an ocean OF
cheap alcohol. Together thief

and together they went TO oblivion.
That was all. After their nrst for.

Most Of us give little thought to

TO civilize men. but also helps to
give them improved health and

As a healing agent music has long

Listening to Wagner. to Beetho-

DIABETES.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1916. by Frank Crane)

Diabetes is the name applied to that
condition of the human body wherein
sugar is present in the urine.
It is very common. Many people have
1t and don't know it. II is not always
fatal, but it predisposes its victim to al
sorts of disease. 1t is more dangerous
in youth than in old age. A diabetic Is
like "a house founded on the sand" It
is therefore necessary that he know what
to do to relieve his condition.
Diabetes is not a disease. No one
knows just what it is, but it seems 10 b
an impaired functioning Of our internal
apparatus which attends to our metabo-
lism, which means the process Of turn
ing food into bodily tissue.
In recent time great advance has
been made in treating this trouble. For
merly all sorts of medicines were vended
to 'cure" diabetes. They are all fakes.
Some Of them stopped the sugar, which
is not a difficult matter, but none re-
lieved the real difficulty.
1t is to the Investigations Of DR.. Allen
Of Rockefeller Institute that is due the
modern intelligent treatment of diabetes.
He has published small book on the
question, and rather full information
about his method has appeared In the
New York Medical Journal. the Ameri-
can Journal of Medical Sciences, and
other medical reviews. Every up-to-date
physician ought to know about it.
No two cases of diabetes are alike. II
you wish to get well it win help deal
If you cooperate yourself with your doc
tor.
The Allen plan Is, first, starvation The
patient partakes of nothing at all except
water, with perhaps little coffee and
whisky, as his physician may advise. At
the end of three days the sugar usually
disappears, although sometimes it takes
longer. Fasting will not hurt you. Keep
quiet go to bed if necessary. Don't
worry about hunger pains. or losing
weight.
When the sugar Is gone you begin to
eat, first, vegetables Of not more than
per cent CdTOOHyuIuIcc, ouSh GO SSASAS'
lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, cabbage, to-
matoes, and turnips.
Test yourself every day to see II sugar
is present. II it does not appear you can
90 on to more liberal diet. and you can
keep on increasing and varying your food
until you find out what you can eat with
out danger.
If sugar appears, back up on the diet;
and, If necessary fast again for day.
One days fasting in seven Is good plan
in any event.
Then begin again. always inspecting
the urine to note if sugar be present.
Thus, by and by. you learn your own
point of tolerance"
This is a very imperfect description OF
the Allen method, but it may serve to
give you the gist of it, TO let you know
that modern science declares that you
have a mighty good chance to overcome
this arrangement, and to warn you
against taking any sort OF "diaoetes
cure" whatever. :.
There Is no reason why diabetic, II
taken IN time, in cooperation with an
Intelligent medical man, may not live out
an the DAYS Of his normal expectancy, ana
lnnacefuIly die Of something else.
