FEAR AND DISEASE.

| Reduced to its last analysis the diff
ference between the theories of those
who hold that the cause as well as
the cure Of all ailments Of the human
system is to be found in the realm of
the mental and those authorities who
take the orthodox medical view is not
as great as is generally supposed. A
writer in American Medicine a rec
ognized medical journal published in
New York, tells us that fear, a purely
mental state, "disarranges the bodily
functions, to be followed later by Or
ganic dissolution" Following is an
extract from the article referred to;

diac trouble or tuberculosis; the

of insanity Sidis writes that the
main source Of psychopathic diseases
is the instinct Of fear with its baneful
manifestations of anxiety, anguish and
worry. Darwin writes that if we ex-
pect to suffer we are anxious. James
regards anxiety as morbid fear Balm,
the anxious condition of mind sort
of diffused terror In other words,
concludes Sidis, anxiety is nothing
else but the working of the instinct Of

with apprehension of threatening i'm

from the din of war a tremendous
competitor who wilr very soon prove
more dangerous to. England's position
in the world market than Germany
would have been, if she had been al
lowed to develop along normal lines
for the next thirty years.
"While European countries are
gradually exhausting themselves in an
unparalleled struggle and can look
forward to nothing after the war but
a huge load of debt, the United States
is paying off her liabilities, and is, fur
thermore, laying aside a financial re-
serve which will easily ensure for her
a definite place in the world market
after the war-a place of which even
the most flamboyant prophet of this
land Of unlimited possibilities has
never even dreamed"

IN PRAISE or THE ONION
One Writer, at Least, Brave Enough
to Defend the HeathfuI But
Odorous Vegetable.

Why is it that so beautiful and de-
licious vegetable as an onion causes
such horror among humankind when it
has once been consumed?
Why is it that ones wife shudders
when she sees her husband gnawing
at the juicy interior of big Bermuda,
when the scientific chaps SO strongly
recommend the onion as a most
healthful and proper form of grub?
Why-oh, why-does an onion taste
30 much differently in the morning?
Nobody knows!
There are a few people who abso-
iutely detest the mere idea of an on
ion, but the antagonistic attitude is
generally a precautionary. measure.
Many people would like to eat on
ions, if they dared, and only refrain
from doing so when under heavy
pressure. They are told that the odor
of mild and companionable onion
upon ones breath stamps him as one
of the rabble.
If he reeks with the perfume of a
l5-cent cigar 1t is q. X. Likewise II
is all right if he has been reveling in
some of the more deadly varieties OF
cheese, but as for the onion-neverl
Onions are mighty handy yegeta-
bles in the kitchen of the elite, and
are used to flavor most salads and
dressings and things, where they are
duly appreciated, but like the com

the house, they must not be brought

gold is that American bankers are

NEW THEORY or EVOLUTION
Points Evolved by Author May Give
Rise to Some Most Interesting
Hypotheses.

In book entitled "The Natural The
ology of Evolution" J. N. Shearman
pointed out that nothing in the Oar.
winian theory precludes design; it
only requires the supposition that the
designing mind works slowly through
many ages. AS to those variations
which have turned out failures-the
flying reptiles and other extinct crea.
lures Of early periods-the author
makes the suggestion that the direc-
ton of varieties may to some extent be
deputed by God to angels, in the same
way as free will and power is granted
to man; and that these failures are the
experiments of the angel-subordinates
But" writes the editor of Nature
in recommending the book to scientific
readers, the author is not in the least
crank, and he puts forward this fresh
and interesting hypothesis (Which
some would call fantastic) as a specu-
lation only. His main point is that
though the Darwinidn natural selection
is true cause of change in species,
the variations which tend to progress
toward greater complexity cannot be
attributed to chance. They are evi-
dence of a guiding mind which sees
and knows before it produces on the
rial plane

History.


The first writer who is definitely ac.
knowledged as a historian was the
Greek Herodotus, who wrote in the
fifth century, B G. The very earliest
of ancient records, sacred and secular
are merely lists and tables of ruling
dynasties, and the next step toward
the development of the continuous
narrative which we know as History
is in the expansion of such lists to in.
clude events. The most notable early
examples of these Historical records"
are the Old Testament books of Kings
and Samuel, which date back to the
seventh century, B. c., and the book
of Chronicles, which, though equally
notable, was compiled three centuries
later. Ancient Egypt has similar rec.
ords, and there are, notable early frag.
ments of Japanese and Chinese chroni.
cle The first actual written narrative
history" however, is Greek. The Old
Testament, as stated, goes back to ex
tremely early Jewish records. The
New Testament, which was written in
Greek, is, OF course. much later, much
history had been written before the
beginning of the Christian era.

Several minutes elapsed in the first
