| genealogical Society of the Amer
ican Institute of Homeopathy at Chi
cago, June %, 1915, declared that
demineralized foods form a factor in
the development of cancer.
The human family is underfed in
mineral food Salts" he said. "a mo-
mentous fact is that the flour mills
of the civilized world are busy elm
mating every particle of iron, phos-
phorus, sodium, potassium, silicon,
calcium, chlorine, magnesium and sui
phur (mineral salts) from our staple
food supply and sending out food ma

meager in energizing and immunizing

the habits of life of civilized cancer
plagued people in comparison with
the habits of primitive cancer-free
people shows that the main differ
enoe' between them is in a dietary
poor in mineral salts among the can
cer-plagued people and dietary rich
in mineral salts among the cancer
free people, the most logical and ra-
/ tional course Is to adopt this as q
keynote to cancer treatment.
All forms of MALIGNANT disease are
| possible only because OF absence ot
or loss of immunity. All animal life
in normal state of environment and
supplied with nutriment bearing all
the organic ingredients necessary for
the maintenance of disease-resisting

tive immunity to cancer.

There is indeed a direct relation
ship between the known causes OF
constipation and the suggested causes
of cancer This relationship is based
upon the loss of cellulose, mineral
salts. colloids and vitanine in our
breakfast foods and breadstuffs.
Take, for instance, the bran of
wheat, which is one of the food ele-
ments lost to modern cancer-plagued
civilization. Wheat bran consists of
three layers, all of which contain
larger proportions of cellulose or fiber
than the interior of the grain.
The two outer layers contain more
of the phosphorus, calcium and
iron compounds than the other parts
of the grain; while the innermost
layer contains a special kind of pro-
tein. which, there is reason to believe.
is the seat of the indispensable vita :
mines lost in the milling of wheat
AS we have seen, bran is not so "di
eestible" as the first-patent flour for
the reason that all of first-patent
flour is absorbed whereas all Of the
bran = not absorbed. The mistake OF
estim Fting the food value of anv food
by it's ability to undergo complete alb
sorption has already been recognized
by many authorities and it Is now
certain that the medical profession
will soon give to the nonabsorba bile
food elements the importance which
belongs to them.

CONDEMNS "TOO
PROUD TO FIGHT
Lodge Arraigns Administration
in Speech Before Lynn
Republicans

Speetdt 10 INC Icfrsfdfh
Lynn. Mass. March II. - Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts,
evoked wild applause last night when
in a speech before the Republican
Club OF Lynn, announcing his candi-
dacy for reelection, he said
Let II not be said of us by our
children that our motto was:
~Down with honor,
Down with right
Down with the flag;
Too proud to fight
''See to II that our children and our
children's children shall he able TO
say of US, even as we say of the men
of the Revolution and of the Civil
War:
They fought the good fight,
They kept the faith.
Senator Lodge spoke not only of
the issues of the coming presidential
campaign, but Of the position of the
United States in relation to the war
ring Powers in Europe and to Mex
leo. He said, In part;
"Since 1864 there has been no cleo
tion comparable in its meaning and
its results to that now before us. This
is due to two facts-the unparalleled
condition of the civilized world owing
to the war in Europe, and the con-
duct of the Democratic administra-
ton, which came into power on the
4th of March, 1918. In my opinion,
since the foundation of the Govern
ment, with the exception of the Ad
ministration of Buchanan, there has
been no administration in power
which has been so injurious TO the
United States, both at home and
abroad, as that now in control at
Washington.
"They began with the destruction
OF the protective tariff. They left our
producers open to q destructive COM
petition, and the consequences of this
action were seen before the 1st of
August. 1914, in languishing indus
tries, diminished employment, lower
ed revenues and increased taxation.
THE European war had two ef-
fects; one was that ii acted like
prohibitory tariff; the other was that
the demand of Europe stimulated alb
normally certain great industries and
brought to the country large sums Of
money for their products. Despite
the protection which the war af-
forded, other industries upon which
the war caused no demand still re-
manned dull and languishing, and they
have made no preparation to meet the
destructive and abnormally low-priced
competition which will come with the
end of the war.
I'VE must pass beyond our own
borders if we would understand the
evils which have been wrought by the
present administration and the
humiliations to which they have eX-
posed this country. The President
has said that he has a single-tracll
mind, but it is track interspersed
with so many turntables that it Is not
always easy to find out the direction
in which the mind is running"

hats and a new suit which were

then the key in the latch told him
that Helen was coming back.
Come in here and go over these
things, will you?" he called.
'Ill be right in, dear, just as soon
as I give these things to Mary" and
Helen went into the kitchen, to re-
tourn a few minutes later, her hat

WHERE OUR NAMES CAME FROM

Once upon a time given names were
the only names in use. One was Tom,
Dick or Harry, and that was all there
was about it. Our present surnames
arose from nicllnames. Thus Tom the
Tailor became in time Tom Taylor and
his descendants used Taylor as q
family name. The most familiar of
our surnameS were taken from the
occupations of our forefathers, as
Smiths. Bakers, Brewers, etc. Many
men. moving to new towns, had the
name of the place from which they
had come fastened upon them. Others
took names like Pope, King and
Bishop. from playing those parts in
plays. Hogg and Bacon are simple.
Purcell developed from pourcel. mean
ing little pig. Gait and Grice are old
dialect words of the same meaning.
Tod meant fox, Fitchie was polecat,
and so the keen student of language
traces the beginnings of our names in
the old dialects. Some of the nick
names were originally distinctly un-
complimentary, as Seely for silly,
Cameron for crooked nose, and Ken
nedy for ugly head. Grace developed
from gras or fat.-The American Boy.

No feature of the new fashions is more
interesting than the persistency of the
over-bodice idea. Here is a charming
dress for the school girl.which shows that
feature most attractively used. On the
figure, the skirt is made from enbroid-
cred iouncing, the under-bodice is made
from all-over material 10 match and the
over-bodice is made of blue taffeta and
the combination is very attractive one.
The frock is essentially smart and at the
same time essentially simple. The straight
skirt is simply gathered and joined to the
under-bodice, and the over-bodice is ar
ranged over it. The oyer-bodicc is fin
ished separately and closed at the back,
but the shoulder edges arc buttoned to
give pretty effect. In the smaller view,
there is a suggestion for making the over
bodice and the skirt of taffeta with the
under-bodice of crepe de chine.
For the IL year size will be needed, M
yards Of founcing go inches wide With
2L yards of material so for the under
bodice and d yards for the over-bodice
and belt.
The pattern 8o27 is cut in sizes for girls
OF 10 to ID years. 1t will be mailed to

The extreme complacency of Presi-

iety, according to the correspondents
with Mr. Wilson at his summer home,
at Long Branch.
Mr.. Wilson has made It a rule never
to read any criticism Of himself and he
is not an agreeable recipient OF un-
pleasant news. his advisers have care
fully refrained from telling him much
OF the popular view Of himself and his
administration.
The Maine election, therefore, proved
an eye-opener TO him He had accept
ed the assurances of Josephus Daniels
and his friend, Sam Untermcyer, that
all was well and that Maine would
elect two Democratic senator's, a gov
ernOr and four members of the House.
Now that Mr.. Wilson realizes be-
yond all possibility Of doubt that Re
pubiicans have been elected to all
these offices. and that tho most pains
taking scrutiny of the Maine vote re-
yeals nothing but strong indication

In the system of government many
interesting things are noticed.
We spend thousands OF dollars to
prevent outbreak Of contagious di-
seases, and to suppress epidemics. We
are now spending throughout the
country millions of dollars to i'm
prove the public highways and in
this improvement we are spending
thousands of dollars to construct and
maintain grade crossings for the de-
struction of human lives.
A careful perusal of the columns of
the daily papers will impress upon
the mind OF every careful thinking
person that the time is ut hand when
due consideration should be given
to the adjustment of grade cross
ings.
There was time when the slow
methods of travel did not make the
grade crossings as important as they
are at the present time. With the
rapid moving motor-driven vehicle,
the radius of communities is extend
ed and in this expansion many peo-
pie travel in strange territory. Often
man and family driving on a
strange road will drive upon grade
crossing before he realizes where he
is or the danger that confronts him.
Sign posts for grade crossings
should be placed in plain view at least
100 feet on each side of these cross
ings. and wherever possible grade
crossings should be eliminated. In
foreign countries this has been and
Is being accomplished. In some Of
the states Of the Union attention is
being paid to this condition. but in
many sections of the country public
funds are being used to construct
and maintain these death traps.
No one can estimate the benefit to
community that will be derived by
the doing away with of the grade
crossings, because life crushed out
beneath car wheels, and demolished
parts OF automobiles cannot be re-
stored. Sorrowing families and
wrecked homes are the fruits Of these
disasters, which are chargeablc to
public neglect.

Benefit In WALKING.

In an era Of much riding when It

blocks, we are told by Professor
Shaw, OF the department OF philoso-

paper tells of his walk from
Philadelphia to that city. He tells
the reporter that he had been
wrought up over politics and other
kindred subjects and he thought a
long walk might settle his mind. so
he took one. from Philadelphia to
New York, and as consequence rec
ommends walking as a remedy to
anyone similarly afflicted"
How much that remedy Is needed
in these war and political times, ex-
claims the Ohio State Journal. One

him a little while and he Is sure to

long walk puts one in the midst OF
the most wholesome relations.
