(s;sned) HERBERT HOOVER
to Tho literary Dip...
IN immediate response the foZLo.Oing editorial
1oas published in The Literary Digest of Oct 3Oth:
vxIHEN JESUS CHRIST CAME
w upon the earth. nearly two thousand years
ago, to save all mankind, his mere coming
seemed to interfere with the material interests of
few people OF that period, notably King Herod, who
promptly decided to dispose of this 'interloper,"
and sent forth his soldiers with orders to say all
the children OF two years old and under. Thus was
consumrnated the most atrocious crime against
innocent childhood committed up to that time
It has come down through all the ages in song
and story, and master painters have pictured it on
marvellous canvases.
Today passing in review, as we look out through
the windows of our comfortable homes in this great
and happy land are three and half millions of
helpless children the innocent victims of the greatest
that has afflicted humanity. It matters not
gaze in the direction of these children that
eyes must stretch across three thousand miles of
ocean, we still can see them and we still can hear
then we wish to do and cannot help hearing
the tragic appeal in their voices and seeing their tiny
stretched out to us, and their searching eyes
looking into our souls, they say, "Help us,
perish" And If we fail to listen to this great call of
three and half millions of Gods helpless children;
If we close eyes and to this great demand of
duty, shall be just guilty of the slaughter Of
the innocents" Herod, nearly two thousand
years ago.
In these lands swept by death and filled with
tragedies too deep for tears sum OF human suffering
is being written greater perhaps than tor all ages
gone by. The mind grows numb and the heart sick
from constant recital of tales of such tragedy it is
difficult to believe the twentieth century could hold
And so when we received letter from Mr.
Hoover telling us that America must not allow death
in the form of hunger and cold to come to these
100000 helpless children soul was stirred and
the hot blood surged up in our heart We felt it was
our imperative duty to use all the power God has
piven us to aid this noble-hearted American in con-
tinung the work of saving human lives to which he
has devoted unsparingy and at great personal sacr
fce his tremendous energy and administrative
genius during the past six years. IN whlch time ne ana
his American colleagues have administered two
billions of dollars of relief funds from all parts OF the
world with a total overhead expense OF only three

DRINK ONLY WHEN THIRSTY
Physician DeerIes Having Any Set
Time for the Taking Of Liquid
Into the System.

No rules for water drinking can be
laid down, but the best guide is the
thirst of the individual, according to
DR.. John @. Hemmeter of Baltimore,
in an address at a meeting Of the
American Therapeutic association.
Our bodies have reservoir in
which much water is stored; this ls
in the tissues underlying the skin and
in the muscles. The blood and lymph
contain about three and half quarts
Of water. In the course of day about
two quarts Of gastric Juice, from one
and a half to two quarts Of saliva,
one and half quarts Of pancreatic
Juice, and intestinal juices in quantl-
ties that have been estimated vari-
ously at between two and eight quarts,
are secreted. Thus a man secretes
altogether about eight quarts Of d.
gestlve juices every day; yet he has
only from three to four quarts Of blood
and lymph.
The mystery Of whence the water
comes and whittier 1t goes is solved
when we learn that the reservoirs I'M
der the skin supply 1t and reabsorb 1t.
When we are thirsty 1t means that
the supply In the reservoirs is run
ming low. Precipitation dlsposes Of
much Of this water, and by evapora-
don keeps the body cool. Physical
work or exercise produces much heat
and II a man who performs 1t cannot
perspire his temperature goes up rap
idly.

Vlslon CAUSED by ncohoba.n

DR.. w. E. Stafford, of the government
plant bureau, recently identified the
mimosa-like tree, which grows in Haiti,
Porto Rico and other islands of the
Antilles, as the producer Of a queer
powdered drug called "cohoba," which
the natives used when Columbus first
arrived at the island of Haiti. The
seeds Of this tree are yielded in pods,
which are roasted and ground to pow
der which Is sometimes mixed with
lime frcm calcined snail shells.
The tribal wizards, or priests, while
under the influence of "cohoba," were
accustomed to hold communications
with unseen powers. and their mutter-
ings were construed as prophecies and
revelations of hidden things. The pow
der was used as a snuff, and was in
hailed through a forked wooden tube.
The forks were inserted in the nos
trils and the lower end Of the tube
buried in q little heap Of the snuff,
which was held on a tray Of carved
wood. Sometimes large snail shells
were used as snuft boxes.
The natives used the snuff on cere.
monial occasions. 1t produced sort
OF hypnotic state, with visions sup
posed to be supernatural The chemi
cal properties of the drugs are still un
known so that its intoxicating priIS
ciple remains a mystery.
