Feeble Mindedness
By Briggs

The addresses by prominent osteo-
paths at various churches in town
last Sunday, and reported in The
State Journal yesterday, were all in
teresting and uplifting. DIR. Drew
spoke of the mental detectives and
the danger they were to the future
welfare of the nation. He spoke
decidedly against the increase of
feeble-mindedness through ill-sorted
marriages, and his position was we'll
taken. There is another view in this
matter that should engage the scien-
lists attention. The mind, so much
talked of, is not definite and inde-
pendent faculty. 1t comes from a
contact of the spirit with the en-
vironment, so the way to strengthen
and purify the thought is to provide
it with a wholesome environment.
Now society, the street, the sports
the funny pages, the shows, the talk,
the empty leisure do not constitute
an environment that will strengthen
the mind and elevate the thinking.
They are the influences that contri-
butte to eeble-mindedness, the kind
that DR.. Drew spoke of. They make
the morons that crowd society and
the streets. They are the influences
that lower the citizenship. We have
been engaged in an effort to dissi-
pate these influences, and introduce
those that would give tone and char
acter to the mind. The usual phar-
macopeia with it's salves and lotions
does not reach the spot.
The true doctrine is the Bible doc
trine-"as a man thinking in his
heart, so is he" So the idea Is to
fill his heart with good things to
think about. These are nature, good
will, faith and the graces of the spirit
This is our prescription for defective
minds. The doctor is all right in
his matrimonial structures, but he
needs the tonic we have suggested

open. The automobile is no longer
the luxury of the idle rich. 1t is the
proud possession of many a working
man who never hopes to be wealthy,
and the producers of automobiles
and gasoline ought to be attempting
to cheaper their products and IN
crease the supply.
Notwithstanding the present mar
ket conditions of petrol tho future is
not so dark as might be imagined.
1t is known that the Mexic;Lu oil
fields have been scarcely touched
and new fields are being discovered
yearly in many parts of the world.
The war condition is abnormal AMI
may be corrected by peace Mt any
time. But the automobile 10 growing
in popularity and one of two thinss
must happen-either the quantity
and the price of gasoline must reaoh
satisfactory levels or somebody will
produce q carburetcr that will burn
some other fuel satisfactorily. Thoro
never was a grave necessity like the
threatened shortage OF gasoline that
didn't of its very self produce II
remedy.
