You Must Cure Yourself.

I do not care how many licensed phy- sicians there are in the world; do not care how many drugs and how many drug stores there may be in the town; I care not how many schools of medi- cine there may be. I say unto all you persons who are sick and i'll that you will never be cured by licensed medi- cine. The doctors never will and never can cure you. Drugs never cure. You must cure yourself. And if you have not the will power and the courage to reform the conduct that made you ill you are already a goner. Nothing can aid you, not even nature. "Medicus sanat; natura curat" This is the Latin of the medical schools. The doctor sanitates, but nature alone can cure And nothing in nature can cure you but your own conduct-by reformation, by resorting to the right food and; the right drink.
 It is up to you whether you are to be an invalid all your life or well man we'll woman
 It is question of personal morals, individual ethics.-C. F. in Los An geles Times.

Handsome New Red Cross Ambulance Is Presented
 to Bridgeport Chapter

A handsome Red Cross ambulance, the gift of Walter B. Lashar to the local Red Cross chapter, was present ed to the officials yesterday afternoon and when it made it's first public ap- pearance it was the exposure of all eyes. The ambulance is built on Locomobile chassis, the body being made on special order at Philadelphia. Machine experts estimate it's cost at $1O,O0O. The ambulance will remain in Bridgeport to do service for mili- tary organizations and in emergen
 cies, which demand more than the present ambulance facilities in Bridgeport. In the event of a Bridge port Red Cross division being formed, the machine may accompany it over seas James H. Brooks, of 502 Col orado avenue, a survivor of the Lusi- tania, was in charge of the ambulance when it made it's appearance yester- day,-N4

War and Human Nature.

Referring to the oft repeated claim that there can be no such thing as uni versal peace, because war is phase of human nature-that men always have and always will fight, Dr. Frank Crane thus speaks: War, human naturel Yes, as leprosy is human nature, or tu- berculosiS or epilepsy, or homicidal madness! As demons in hell, in human shape, are human beings" The idea that men of sense will justify war be- cause it is human nature would fit them for the lunatic asylum. And then the doctor goes on to say: Give human na- ture a chance. Let the people manage their governments and war will speed fly cease forever
 And that's true too. It is despicable the way some people will blame human nature for war. By that argument ev- cry crime could be justified. = Ohio State Journal

 Practically all English speaking peo- pie use the Fahrenheit scale, even with all its inconveniences, and people who imagine that they can effect change by an act of congress reckon without authority.
