DEMOCRACY OF FLOWERS
By ELIZABETH VAN eENrHuYsEN

Flowers, like genius, belong in the
family of democracy. The one is just
as pat to pick out a log cabin as a
palace for its home. President Will
son, speaking at the log cabin in which
Abraham Lincoln was born, called at.
tention to this feature of genius. When
he said that genius picked it's society
as 1t willed, without regard to the
status of the persons, he also called
attention to one Of the distinctive at
tributes of flowers.
am reminded of this idea by one
Of the most recent social events among
the millionaires Of the East. Down on
Long island, where there are scores of
palaces more costly than anything that
any king ever dreams of building,
number of rich women came together

several times as much. Both are use

"Keep Cheerful and Mind
Your Own Business" Is the
Message of John Burroughs

John Burroughs. famous American
naturalist and writer. and leading dis
ciple OF the simple life. is eighty years
old. He has lived with nature since
bOyhood, and knows the birds, the
squirrels and the butterflies, the woods,
the feRls and the mountain streams.
He was the friend of Lincoln. of EN-
erson. of Holmes, OF Whittier and Of
Walt Whitman. His recollections of
these great friends are sufficient COM
panions for John Burroughs in his
woodland cabin. II am very happy In
my work. and hope to write book
each year for many more years." he
says. He Is Mt his best, despite his
age. and leads an active life in the
open. His message to the world is /:
Keep cheerful. and mind your own
business"
Mr.. Burroughs taught school In his
youth. became n bank examiner, and
had promising career before him In
financial affairs, when he discarded
ambition for wealth to lead the simple
life. His first book was his "Notes on
Walt Whitman" published in 1867.
During the past half-century he has
written constantly. and has contrib
uted much to the nature library. He
married Ursula North in 1857. and in
the winter time he now makes his
home with his daughter and grand
children at West Pnrk. N. Y.

Germ Of Red cro.. Idea.

The germ of the Red Cross idea
seems to date back into the sixteenth
century. when a gay young NeapOlitan
soldier saw the error of his ways, be-
came a priest, and devoting himself to
relieving the plague-stricken, organized
the Fathers of the Good Death"
whose members were pledged to the
same service and who wore on their
breasts red cross in memory of the
sufferlngs of Christ. This was Camil-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Before the causes of disease were

natures ways OF producing immunity
of sickness and then trust to drugs
and nursing for cure.
This was a difficult task and the
death rate was sometimes enormous,
both In times of peace as well us OF
war. l.at4
Then the day of prevention came.
Grutlually the laws of nature unfolded
until today we know methods of pre-
venting diseases and antidOting the
pOisons generated BY germs In the
body.

diers from preventable diseases than
We did from bullets This was a dis
graceful thing, as sanitarians could
have prevented the high death rate.

Therapeutics or drug treatment
seems to continue to have hold on
the lay mind. and possibly, to some
extent. on the medical mind
Both the people Mt home In every
day life and the soldiers In our army
are much to blame for the Eckness
that exists. The medical profession's
advice Is not taken when those per
sons are we'll. but the motnent they
get good and aick they call: .Oh, doc
tor. do relieve me from this awful
pain" or "Oh.' doctor. save my nYei"
Perhaps this call comes too late. A
few words Of prevention from the doc
tor to the patient, and those few words
obeyed, might have prevented the sick
ness and saved suffering and sorrow.
Do not let US lose sight, Individually
or collectively, of preventing diseases
both at home and In our military
camps, let them be where they may.
