REAPING THE HARVEST.

The present attitude towards European distress and the present re- 1uctance to assume political responsi- bilities abroad is part of the price which both America and Europe are paying for the excesses in this coun- try of the war spirit and propaganda The propaganda falsified the origin of the war in that it concentrated ex- elusive responsibility on the Germans and prevented the people of America from understanding the extent to which they, in common with the other democratic peoples, shared in the responsibility for civilization which could not prevent such trage- dies. It falsified American relations to Europe in that it manufactured for one particular purpose a false iden- tity of American interest with Euro pean interests. It encouraged in Americans an inconsistent, harsh, suspicious. irreconci1able attitude of mind which for the time being was concentrated on the Germans or upon other people whom anybody cared to accuse of being pro-German, but which was in the end certain to fas- ten indiscriminately upon anybody who blocked the dominent move ment of public opinion, who raised troublesome and dangerous questions Or who insisted on inconvenient and costly responsibilities. The existing disposition in Congress and in the country to cut America off from Eu- rope and to turn an indifferent ear to European cries of distress is the natural postwar reaction of the in- tense and blind nationaIism which, in spite, of the Presidents speeches, moulded the actual spirit of the American war effort.-The New Re- public

THE DIET CUIRE+Several months
 ago I gave you a series of articles
 upon the subject of enlarged tonsils.
 diseased tonsils and adenoids. I went
 carefully into details and told how
 all of these things could be prevented
 and how they could be, cured. I also
 told you about catarrh and how it
 and it's effect upon the custodian
 tubes, in some cases, caused catarrhal
 deafness and head noises.
 think that I have not for many
 years received so many letters asking
 for even more information than I
 had already given The most surpris-
 ing thing to me was the letters I re-
 ceived from physicians; some of them
 wanted more detailed informaticH te enable them to treat their own chil- dren, and some of them, with great love for their patients, wanted a more certain method and safer than sur- gerry.
 The harvest of grateful letters are now coming to me from the doctors as well as parents and others telling of complete cures. I find that the cases that are reported as completely cured and no after effects are those that have followed the most rigid rules of diet that I laid down for 1 them. They used the simple home remedies, it is true, but I frankly l told you then, and I tell you now, 1 that without cleaning out from the system all accumulated impurities l through a proper diet. not com- plete cure of disease, only relief, can be expected from remedies.
 Another thing that I have often 1 told you is this: A method or system l of diet and manner of living that will | make a sick person well and strong I can be depended upon to keep well person in perfect health and strength. 1 During, the past quarter of a cen 1 tury I have carefully written out l specific directions for a prolonged 1 thousands of cases; many of these patients were wealthy people who l had been to various sanatoriums, hos 1 pitals, health resorts and water cures l and would gladly come to me for per- l sona1 care if I operated a sanatorium, 1 but told them that the biggest and l best, as well as the least expensive 1 sanatorium, was right in their own home Others. who were too poor to ] go away for treatment, as well as the | rich soon found that I was right, and | one grateful patient in writing to me | always spoke of the instructions as
 ''The Home Sanatorium Treatment | and the name has stuck for many l years.
 | The results achieved have prover l that the old saying is true: Many | men dig their grave with their teeth ?

BUSINESS WOMEN
 NEED MUCH SLEEP

A conversation overheard be- tween two business girls on the way to their respective offices was as fol- lows: No. 1: "I haven't got to bed until after 3 o'clock for over a week, and have to be up at a little after 6.3O''
 , No. 2: "Dances'
 No.~1: Yes I'm just simply ma d on the subject of dancing, aren't you? But with sigh, "I am not feeling much like work these days
 One could not help feeling sorry for the employer of girl No. 1. A pity was felt for the sort of work he was getting and for the people with whom she had to work.
 Three and half hours sleep are not enough for any one. For busi- small amount of rest night after night is little less than madness The excitement may keep her up for awhile, but sooner or later the most i, healthy one will drop under the strain. Too little sleep certainly is not conductive to a sweet temper and a bad temper usually results in bad work. It isn't fair to your ems ployer, even if you do feel that your nights are yours to do with as you please. After all, he has a right to expect you to be ready and willing to work during the time you are in his office. It is only natural that your work would be half done without the proper allowance of sleep. Looking at this sthing from your employers viewpoint it is all wrong You are a sort of an investment, and he is not getting the full value of the money invested. Of course. no one would grumb1e at our having a gay time occasionally, dear girls, but tc make a. nightly affair of it is not fair either to your employer or to your self.

I think now we could safely start another saying: "Eat your way to health and long life"
 I know that it can be done and also know that after one gets well through proper diet and methods of living. the home in which they live is a much happier place and the worry about doctors bills no longer exists. The expense of a proper diet is no greater, and in many cases is much less than for an improper diet, and the work in the kitchen is more than cut in half.

It is fitting. and proper that I, at
 this time, tell you of the passing of
 my old friend, Dr. A. P. Davis. one of Gods nobleman. He died at Los Angeles, Cal, last December, iu his 94th year. His was a glorious life and his work for the sick and suffer ing continued almost to the end. had a beautiful letter from his widow this morning. She is carrying on Many of you will recall that I have, at various. times, given you quotations from his writings, although much that he wrote was for the benefit of other physicians-yet, his style of instruc- tions was so complete and easily un- derstood that anyone could readily comprehend. I wonder who will take l his place?
 Dear Doctor Reeder: I am greatly troubled with sweating feet. Between 1 my toes it scalds and blisters. The l itching is almost intolerable. Please l tell me what to do for it.
