GOING BACK TO NATURE
BY DIR. w. LUCAS.

People get sick because they 60
away from Nature, and the only way
to get well is to go back. Something
grows out of the ground in the form
of vegetation to cure almost every Ill.
Some Of these vegetable growths are
understood by man, and some are not
Animals, it would seem, know what to
do when they are sick better than
men and women. Observers have
noted that a sick horse, dog or cat
will stop eating food and seek out
some vegetable growth in the field or
yard, which, when found and eaten,
often restores appetite and health.
Haven't you seen these animals do
this very thing yourself?
DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, long since
found the herbs and roots provided by
Nature to overcome constipation, and ne
had these vegetables collected and made
ND of Mayapple, leaves of Aloe, root Of
Jalap, into little white sugar-coated pills

cayed matter are imprisoned in your sys.

throughout your body. Thus does your
head ache, you get dizzy. you can't sleep

over. Don't you see how useless all this
suffering, is? All that is often needed is

STANDS DESOLATE IN DESERT
Once Splendid City Of ctesiphon, Now
Heap Of Ruins, Peopled by Crea-
lures of the Wild.

A few miles south Of Bagdad OF
of once great city-the Ctesiphon of
history and romance. In the ancient
days splendid palaces rose beside the
sleepy Tigris waters; gorgeous war
riOrs drove their chariots through the
city's broad, straight streets; visitors
from every land came to Ctesiphon to
wonder at the splendor of the Parthian
kings. Now the glory and pOmp are
gone. The palaces of the great kings
have crumbled into dust and only the
walls of the white palace stand bleak
and bare against the hot Persian sky.
The city has surrendered to the wild
and the banquet halls Of Chosroes the
Great are the nightly haunts of desert
creatures.
The hush of the desert seems to wrap
the crumbling ruins in a still blanket
Of silence The old river slips quietly
by on its way to join the Euphrates
and the sea. Even the desert winds
seem to hush their wailing cry over
the ruins of the past. 1t is a place OF
silence-the grave Of city and a
people.
Only the vaulted hall Of Chosroes
has withstood the ravages Of the ages.
It's great walls still stand stark and
grim, defying man and time. The
Arabs claim the spirit of the king re-
visits the scene of his grandeur and
holds a ghostly court among its ruins.
No longer do stately barges float
down the Tigris and stop at Ctesiphon.
The casual sightseer or archeologist
are the only visitors. The tiny donkeys
of the Arab guides replace the war
horses of the Olden days. A little far

To those colonies and TERRITORIES when
as a consequence of the late %r AVE
ceased to be under the sovereignty OF inc
states which formerly governed them ana
which are inhabited by peoples not yer
able to stand by themselves under the
strenuous conditions of the modern world,
there should be applied the principle that
the welbeing and development of such
peopIes form j sacred trust of civilization
and that securities for the performance
of this trust should be embodied IN the
constitution of the league.
The best method of giving practical ef-
feet to this principle Is that the tuteage
of such peoples should be entrusted to
advanced nations who by reason of their
resources. their experience or their
geographical position, can best undertake
this responsibility, and that this tutelage
should be exercised by them as manda-
tory on behalf Of the league.
Certain communities formerly belonging
to the Turkish empire have reached q
stage of development which their exist
ence as independent nations can be pro-
visionally recognized subject to the rem
dering of administrative advice and as
sistance by mandatory power until such
time as they are able to stand alone. Th0
wishes of, these communities must be q
principal consideration in the selection OF
the mandatory power.

Africa and certain of the south Pacific
isles. which. owing to the sparseness OK

Alabama s Illiterates
 In Need of Your Help

1T T should be esteemed an honor by 0 all patriotic Americans to wear a flag today, the 142d anniversary of the Stars and Stripes. It will be the privilege of the citizens of Birming- ham to buy a flag from the local chap ter of the Daughters of the American Revolution who have taken this means to raise money to combat illiteracy in Alabama.
 Many and various have been the causes to which the people of this city have recently been called on to con- tribute. Most of them grew out of the war and the response was so gen ercus, so whole-hearted and cheerful that Birmingham became known far and wide as a city which answered every appeal. Not only did we give all that was asked, but more. 
 IlIiteracy in Alabama is no new thing It has been standing re- proach for many years. It has invited the just criticism of more progressive and enlightened parts of the country, where millions of dollars are devoted to the cause of education, in compari- son to thousands spent in Alabama. rDuring the war there were, to be sure, more urgent tasks to perform, but now that the great struggle is ended and the work of reconstruction has be- gun, there is no problem more press ing than that presented by the neg Ilected men and women of Alabama
 who cannot read and write, and their children who are denied the opportu-
 nity of acquiring any sort of educa-
 tion.
 A flag bought today on the streets of Birmingham will help to build an- other school in rural Alabama.

WHERE OUR FOOD COMES FROM

Hawaiian pineapple, Sicilian cherries, Pennsylvania lettuce, Iowa eggs, Spanish olive oil, Ohio vinegar, California mustard and Guiana red pepper.
 When we get down to the ice cream, we eat Virginia cream, Cuba sugar. Ecu adorean vanille and Mexican chocolate. The cake that goes with it is made of butter from Illinois, flour from Minne apolis, made from wheat grown in North Dakota, baking powder from Pennsyl- vania and other ingredients.
 When it comes to coffee, if we are fastidious we will have issued a draft on both Turkish, Arabia and Dutch Java, or if we are only folk of every day taste we will content ourselves with the Bra gillian product.
 And so, when we come to reckon up those who have helped produce the raw materials of which our foods are made. we find the clouted African savage and the American stock grower; the South American Indian and the California truck farmer; the Javanese coffee picker and the Virginia dairyman; the turbaned Arabian and the New York orchardist; the Chinese coolie and the Dakota wheat farmer; the Mexican peon and the Chesa- peake bay fisherman; the Porto Rican planter and the Hawaiin sugar grower; the Spanish olive picker and the Alaskan Eskimo fisherman.
 Yet all these neglect the matter of transportation. Our food comes to us on the heads of Indians, on the backs of donkeys, drawn in carts by huge water buffaloes, aboard the ship of the desert,' on wheelbarrows propelled by Chinese coolies. Steamships, railroad trains, auto trucks and delivery cars have all played their part in the great work of catering to discriminating capacities. Truly the man who dimes we'll ought to be a deep student of geography, for all races, all nationalities, all types of peoples, all points of the compass, all atitudes-continent, island, river and seas-all must come to him as he looks over the bill of fare and tries to find
