HEALTH TAH KG
BY WILLIAM BRADY r1o.
THE OPTIMIST.

"One hundred years are the, limit
of the life of man." observed an an
cient pessimist; might takes half
of them, half OF the other half is
childhood and old age, the rest is
filled with diseases, with separa-
tions and the misfortunes that
come from them, with working for
others and with wasting ones time.
Where can happiness be found in
an existence most like to the bub-
bles in broken water?"
There you have as complete an
exposition of the gospel of pes
.simism as was ever uttered. And
good dash of idiocy mixed in.
This would indeed be a tame
existence if there were no diseases.
Nobody would enjoy health, and
health is certainly great fun.
Because he believed that the sum
of pain surpassed the sum of pleas
ure in life, Hegasias preached and
urged suicide so effectively that
Ptolemy closed up the old pessi-
mist's school and exiled the fell
low.
Even the philosopher Seneca
LnOu6Al LHcL lAC SPcCLdCl6 VI nu-
man life is lamentable. New mis-
fortunes overwhelm you before you
have freed yourself from the old
ones"
Schopenhauer was a great pessi-
mist. Byron, the poet was another.
Leopard, the Italian. wrote that
destiny has given us nothing but
death" Why didn't he go some
where and die, then, instead of
yammering about it? The man
probably over-ate and under-exer-
cised.
Practical pessimism attained its
logical expression in a suicide So
ciety that existed in Paris over
a century ago, membership in
which was limited to persons of
honour who must have experienced
the injustice of man, the ingrati-
tude of a friend, the infidelity of a
wife or mistress, and who, more
over, for many years had had a
void in their souls and a distaste of
what the world can offer" With
a void like that, what should a man
expect from his friends?
l am young yet, but l have a no
ton that if someone could have
taken old Hegasias, Seneca, Scho-
penhauer, Byron and a few hun
dred other poets and philosophers
in hand in their youth, instructed
them in the use of fresh air, proper
exercise. wholesome diet, and so
on, with littlS plain common
sense about certain body functions
which the ignorant grossly abuse.
these poor souls might have found
life more cheerful.
Whoever knows how to live a
hygienic life is sure to be an opti-
mist.

ALL MUST SUPPORT
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

The Covenant of the League of
Nations will create a situation which
will at least greatly restrict and les
sen the chances of war between ma
tons. Disputes between individuals
are settled by our courts and we
assume as a matter of course that
no one shall turn to physical force.
The present war has brought before
mankind, more vividly than anything
else in history, the folly and waste
and crime Of war. We see it's terrible
devastation; we see its terrible
sufferings. All civilized mankind will
struggle for years to come under the
burdens of this war. With our ad-
vance in education, with our means
Of disseminating Information, we GER
tainly have reached the point where
public judgment should support an
understanding between nations that
tends to throw up barriers in the
path of forces gathering for war.
That the covenant of the League
Of Nations itself presents a real con-
structive method which undoubtedly
will greatly tend to restrict war must
be admitted by all. AS such, all
should give it help and support.

TRIUMPH FOR
AMERICAN IDEALS
Peace Treaty the Most Momentous
Document Ever Prepared by
the Hand Of Man

The Treaty Of Paris is the longest
single treaty ever signed. 1t is six
times as long as the treaties of the
peace of Westphalia Q64S) and ten
times as long as the treaty of Vienna
(1S15); it is as long as the latter and
all the subsidiary treaties resulting
from it. Though it covers more
ground than any other treaty made
1t was prepared in half the time re-
CURED for the peace of Vienna, and in
less than one-tenth of the time re-
Quired for the treaty of Westphalia
This phenomenal result is attributed
by European statesmen to the initial
adoption Of the Covenant of the
League Of Nations, which provides for
the future settlement of a large num-
Der of perplexing problems. Despite
opinions to the contrary, the verdict
of history will unQuestionably be that
the Peace of Paris carries into effect
to remarkable degree the program
accepted in advance by the peoples
Of the world, and embodied in the
Fourteen Points put forth by the
American government on January 8,
1918, ten months before the actual
signing of the armistice.

cepted by world in arms. serious
