The Three KS.
~ Or. FRANK CRANE
tCopyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

People would get along better, live
longer. and have more fun while they
live, said the old Medicine Man, if they
would mind the Three KS.
They are Examination, Excretion, and
Excess. The first two are 10 be observed,
and the last one TO be avoided
Excuse me. said |. if | exact hereto
some excellent expication.
Very well, said he
First comes Examination. That means,
so to the doctor before you get sick and
not after. Know about yourself don't
guess and suppose and believe.
When you go to get your life insured
the company physician searches your
body and your history carefully to see
If you're good risk Why not have that
lone at least once a year for your own
So Y s'ss
DO it-and forget IT, Don't think about
your body all the time, but let your neg
lect of it be intelligent and not igno-
rant u
You notice all the quacks and faddists
and the like go after sick folks. But
20 treat we'll person it needs scientist,
an honest dealer in facts, When "A mans
sick he's partly crazy anyhow; his judg-
ment is apt to be as deranged as his
liver.
So, while you're in shipshape and COM
DOS mentis. go and be EXamined-your
eyes. nose. ears, teeth, lungs. heart, di-
gestive apparatus everything.
Second, Excretion. Nine people cst cf
ten are killed because there is something
wrong with their waste pipes.
All Excretion is unclean and not nice.
and we shrink from speaking or thinking
about il. That is well enough it is ma
ture's plan TO lead us to get rid of waste
and shun il. But it's a matter that
should be set right before We turn from
it, To have it go wrong means disease
and death.
Putting fuel into the body, eating and
drinking, is public and social function.
Removing the ashes and clinkers and
refuse is private function, and hence
often sighted. But elimination has quite
as much to DO with ones health and
spirits as alimentation.
Give attention, therefore, to the three
life savers of your body, the bowels, the
kidneys, and the sweat pores. If any one
of them goes on a strike you are in for
trouble
And thirdly. Excess. When Socrates
would put all wisdom into phrase, he
said Nothing too much.
The kind of pleasure we get from ex-
cess, of any kind. is septic. 1t always
kicks worse than it shoots.
Order they say. is heavens first law.
Perhaps that's why heaven is happy, and
stays happy It's always morning, and
no morning after. Whatever we enjoy
harTnoniously, temperately, continues to
be enjoyable and brings no train of re-
morse.
A man should be above his pleasures
When they master him it isn't long before
they become tortures.
Don't eat too much, nor drink too much,
nor tktIClSt, ilDI NOih, iloi iiVi BloJs
nor laugh, nor cry, nor smoke, nor sleep,
nor study. nor amuse yourself. nor pray,
nor travel nor stay at home, nor do any
thing else, good or bad, too much.
Do you get these three X's-Examina-
ton Excretion, and Excess? said he.
Exactly. said !. Your excogitatiohs,
while extemporaneous, are exquisitely
exegetica, explicit, and expertly ex-
pressed.

The Administration May
Readily Welcome the Turning
On of Penetrating Light

On VI eittti dtiItS LhS"s
The testimony Of Thomas w. Lawson
before the committee in Washington IN
vestigating Lawson's charges that Wall
st. was given advance information as 70
the contents of President Wilson's peace
note 10 the warning nations, names men
occupying high places in the Wilson sd-
mjnistration and in the government.
Lawsons story is unsupported.
II has been denied with much emphasis
and positiveness by the men his charges
involve.
However, unfortunate as il may be in
their individual cases, they are in politics
and a part of the administration in Wash
ington. -.,-.--,--.
A presumption of innocence until the
accused is proven guilty is not rule in
politics, particularly with those who are
antagonistic to an administration and
have axes to grind.
The general public should be influenced
by this fact and should be so ready TO
recognize the possibility of political trick
ery. that it will be free to wait for all the
facts and for both sides to have been
heard before forming its opinion of either
the truth or the untruth Of Lawson's
charges.
That they are founded on truth, or that
they are possible of proof that will show
men in the high places occupied by these
men to have used their places for pur-
pose of personal profit, seems quite un-
believable.
Nevertheless, for the reason we have
stated, the administration will not have
entered satisfactory defense should it
choose to rest at pointing to the very ex-
ceIlent regulations of its members who
have been accused.
If Lawson is telling that which is not
true, he is telling it with motive and for
a purpose, and that purpose must be re
vealed, either as political, personal or pro-
fessional, or the administration remains
exposed and the Democratic party will
suffer for it.
There is a consideration that is more
important, however, than that of party
and The Times feels confident that it viii
be so recognized and regarded by the
president.
That consideration is the policy Of this
government, through the administration.
toward the war in Europe and its early
termination as the biggest step remain
ing to be taken in the direction of world
peace.
1t must be established to the satisfac-
tion of every citizen of the country that
our position is one that has at heart the
interests of civilization and not the per-
sonal pecuniary profit Of any individual
within the administration or on Wall-st.
If Lawson has taken liberties with
few facts and has added his own deduc-
tions based upon those few facts, or is
merely repeating hearsay. with nothing
tangible upon which TO base his asser-
tions, it win be an easy matter to estab-
hsh such a state of affairs.
The administration. before anybody
else, should insist upon sinking the probe
to the deepest point, and resolve to spare
nobody upon proof that what Lawson
alleges has substantial basis.
Lawson is fortified by the positive fact
that SOMEBODY leaked to Wall-st. that
a leak reached Wall-st. from somewhere.

Turnips are usually spoiled by over
cooking. Flat white summer turnlps.
when sliced, should not be cooked
more than a half hour Longer cooking
turns the vegetable dark and makes IL
strong favored Winter turnips should
boil 40 minutes.
Turnlps eaten raw are wholesome as
their crisp freshness furnishes the

concentrated diet.
Turnlps are eaten boiled, hashed, and
In soups. To prepare boiled turnips,
peel and slice, dropping the slices into

to cover. Cook until tender and drain

CARROTS.

Carrots are used both as vegetable,
as a flavoring for soups and TO COOK
with other vegetables such as peas,
rice and potatoes. Whom first gathered
carrots are so tender they may be
cooked without water, but as they age
they develop a strong flavor and a
woody quality at the heart.
To cook carrots, scrape slightly and
cut into large dIces or slices. Boil in
salted water, allowing teaspoonful TO
the quart OF water. When tender drain
and serve with white sauce.
Another method is to boil and drain
