The democratic congressional COM

that "there exists at this time no par

committee and that it would be regard

taken to such an end" This is a hard

The st. Cloud Journal-Press reports
that Frank Miller of Little Falls has
been sentenced for an indctcrminate
period in the state prison at Still

a box car. Fortunately we have not
been compelled to buy pair of shoes
in the last ten months, but unless there
has been a considerable drop in the

To add to the horrors of the situa-
ton in China an earthquake has now
taken the lives of 100000 persons,
most of whom were on the verge of
starvation. AS $4,000 are dying daily
in the faminc-stricken provinces
where the earthquake occurred, it may
be that merciful God sought to end
the lingering distress of the starving
Chinese by destroying them with
greater rapidity. To be swallowed up
by an earthquake, we should think,
would be much easier death than to
en6llIre the slow torture Of starvation,

The Anhedoniacal Posture.

Ihe Anhed0nlacal POSTURE.
Splanchnic anhedonia, which we
have been talking so glibly about
lately (as though we knew more
than the general run of doctors), is
that incapacity to be quite happy
which inevitably goes with the
health impairment caused by sag
ging or displaced abdominal organs.
Mind. many of US have loose or
floating kidneys, sagged stomach or
dropped colon without any serious
disturbance of health, Just as many
of US have eyeStrain, cardiovascular
disease, tuberculosis or cancer right
now and without serious health dis
turbance, just a knowledge that we
are somewhat below par. which we
are fond of ascribing to the bad
weather, overwork. family cares and
other equally impossible things. 1t
seems to be human nature for us to
wish to evade recognition that there
is anything really the matter with
our own health, as witness the pop
ularity of that good old subterfuge
of the peerless prevaricator-"mere
functionel trouble"-as though all
disease were not functional from
first to last.
Why one individual suffers much

particularly a health question. Why
does one person suffer more than
another from hot weather or mos

larity called astigmatism. which all
of us have more or less. is likely
to manifest itself if We put the eyes
to much use in reading or other near
work, and so doctors commonly ad-
wise against much reading then.
Likewise. when ones reserve of en-
ergy has been heavily drawn on by
illness. or by other strain, or when
the reserve falls to a low ebb from
any cause. then very likely any
visceral sagging or displacement will
begin to produce marked symptoms:
This change from latency to activity
goes with the change from lying

vidual assumes the upright or YER
tical posture. for then. il there is

There are three vertical postures
commonly assumed by the most high
ly developed and most easily de-
ranged animal First, the erect pos
ture: second. the slouchy posture:
third. the exaggerated or caricatured
erect posture. OF these the slouchy
and the exaggerated erect postures
may be called anhedoniac.
Scientific observation has demon
strated this physiological fact: An
individual with or without visce-
roptosis or sagging of the stomach
or colon can. by assuming per
fectly erect posture and voluntarily
drawing the abdomen inward and up

stomach or colon two or three inches.

Housecleaning need not be the bug

all the dirt possible out of the house,
there will be no need for the up

the entire household. The following
are good rules by which to organize
