Diplomatic Illness

Philadelphia Public Ledger.l
If Under Secretary of Foreign AZ
fairs Zimmerman has been appointed
head OF the German Foreign Office
there is no broad political significance
In Won Jagow's diplomatic ILLNESS. For
both Zimmerman and Won Jagow are
supporters of the Chancellor and ad-
vocates of peace by way of London
and acquisitions at the expense of
Russia. Zimmerman, no less than Won
Jagow, considers Russia Germany's inn
placable enemy and hopes that an un-
derstanding with England, France and
the United States may rise in the de-
cade after the war. The change at the
Wilhelmstrasse is one of personality
rather than policy.
Won Jagow's policy from the day he
took the portfolio of foreign. affairs
until the war was, in his own words,
ito make friends with Great Britain,
and then. through Great Britain, to
get closer to France" The war as he
said to Sir Edward Goschen, meant "the
crumbling of his entire policy" Since
then his opponents have been numer.
Gus. But he has never deserted his
ante-bellum belief that the future OF
Germany lies In cooperation with the
liberal powers of the West, rather than
in league with Russia and Japan.
The weakness of his position lay in the
fact that many who agreed with him in
this basic conviction thought that he
was not strong enough to carry through
the policy.

pain was gone. Johnny related this
happy fact to his mother. who turned
a deaf ear. Fearfully he related the
glad tidings to the doctor. He pounded
his cheek to show how good it felt.
But did that fiend in human form
mean to be cheated of his helpless
prey? Not IL he knew it.
First he looked wisely into Johnny's
open mouth. Next he poked the sore
molar with a pudgy finger until
Johnny yelled in agony. After that
YELL of course. there could be but one
decision-"it must come out" The
picture that follows is almost too grue-
some for memorys halls. but there 1t
hangs in all its frightful postures and
colors. You can see it for yourself
Johnny "spread-eagled" on the sitting
room floor begging his torturers to de-
sist; mother tearfully holding down
one arm, father wrathfully engaged in
keeping down the other with his left
hand and Johnny's head with his right,
big brothers none too alphabetically
wrestling with his legs and feet, the
baby yelling his life away from place
of refuge under a nearby table, and the
doctor, with a big pair of pincers in
his hand-called forceps for polite
ness sake-prodding around the in
terror of Johnny's mouth. Finally,
with his knee on Johnny's chest. the
doctor gave an awful yank, something
flew across the room and landed be-
hind mirror-and it was out. A few
days later Johnny boasted about the
experience and for weeks he carried
the extracted molar around as a proof
of his story.
But times have changed, and we are
now invited to hear a world-renowned
dental expert tell us how to save our
teeth instead of having them pulled
and the effects defective teeth have
upon our health. The lecture ought
to be worth while. No science has
made so marked advancement in re-
cent years as has dentistry. 1t has
come upon us so suddenly that we are
unacquainted with its ly-developed
wonders.

it for weeks at a time, preferring
the agony of secret suffering to the
awful tortures incident to having it
out" In those days. now happily be-
yond recall. having tooth pulled was
the only remedy for toothache, and
extracting a tooth under the methods
that then prevailed was second only in
bloodthirsty savagery to the ancient
and honorable Aztec custom of tearing
the beating heart from the breast of
a living human sacrifice.
1t happened somewhat like this:
The toothache became unbearable-at
least for the remainder of the family
and the doctor was summoned.
There were no dentists in those days
outside the very largest cities, and
very few even there. The doctor
came. Usually he was a large mana

Right Age To Marry

Professor Fisher includes alcohol
among poisons which must not be al
lowed to enter the body.
alcohol is not a real brain stimu-
| lant," Professor Fisher said, "but acts
by narrowing the field of conscious
ness. The man who wakes up under
alcohol is really going to sleep, as far
as his judgment and reason are con-
cerned.
Under moderate doses muscular ef-
ficiency is at first increased little and
then lowered, the total effect being a
loss in working power"
| You have good deal to say about
eugenics in How to Live" 1 remind
ed the advocate of life extension. "At
what age do you think 1t most desir-
able to marry?"
Between 25 and 80. when the pc
riod of growth has been attained"
Professor Fisher replied. "I believe
| that as soon as men and women ac-
quire the knowledge that their choice
of a mate will determine whether or
not their physical and mental faults
| and virtues will reappear in children
they will feel sacred responsibility
toward marriage"
selection of a mate put forth by the
Life Extension Institute:
Learn to analyze individuals into
| their inheritable traits-physical,
mental and moral.
"Differentiate between socially noble
/ and ignoble traits between social and
educational veneer and sterling in
| herent capacity.
do not expect physical mental and
moral perfection in any one individual,
but look for a majority of sterling
| traits.
Join your family line to one which
Is strong In respect to the traits in
| which yours is weak"
In addition to the rules of health
and of eugenics. Professor Fisher told
me, people who want to live long
should avoid the hurry habit; should
cultivate a religion of healthy minded
ness: should learn to control their at
tention, should moderate their de-
sires and should cultivate the habit of
happiness.

Government for carrying food-sup-

PARTIsANsHIP ABOVE SERVICE

EDWIN F. SWEET. of Michigan,
u has been appointed Assistant
Secretary of Commerce This is
Mr.. Sweets second round in this Job
He was drafted by the Democrats OF
Michigan to run for Governor after
the man nominated in their primary
had positively refused to make the
race. Mr.. Sweet resigned his place
in the Department of Commerce, but
it was accommodatingly kept open for
him and he now returns to it.
Whether the public service has suf-
fered because of Mr.. Sweets absence
for some months in little journey
into the world of politics is probably
a proper subject for discussion, es-
pecially as his chief, Secretary Red
field, has not been inactive in the Will
son campaign. 1t is evident that the
Democrats will not lack for candidates
for important office so long as the ad-
ministration is willing to order men
out from the departments to fill UP
the party ticket.

always somewhere else and usually
a long way off. So. if man
from Maine criticises a project in Cali
fornia, or man from Minnesota
be expected to tell just how he comes
to know so much about things two or
three thousand miles away from where
he lives.
Speakers on this question will be eX-
pected not to indulge in loose talk or
general charges, but to get right down
to the facts. If anyone knows that a
project has no merit. but that the
appropriation for it was secured solely
to promote the political fortunes of
some senator or representative, or be-
cause some commercial organization
wanted to boom local business with
government funds, he will be given an
opportunity to publicly name the man
or the community that has raided the
public treasury for private gain. Com
mon fairness requires that If any man,
or community, or project, is attacked,
an opportunity shall be given for de-
fense and refutation, and this will, OF
course, be done.

sion might be we'll worth hearing.
