Lorenz Not a Miracle Man.

DR.. Adolph Lorenz, the famous Vienna
orthopedic surgeon. still commands the respect
and admiration of members of the profession
in this country despite his unfortunate exper-
fence with some parasites that tried to cap
italize selfshly upon his fame. DIR. Lorenz has
issued a statement denying that he is in any
sense a miracle man, and declaring that Amer
lea has. some of the best orthopedic clinics in
the world. Coupled with this is some good adj
vice to parents of crippled children. This is in
the erect that the earlier a deformed child is
placed in the hands of orthopedic surgeon
the better Children born with club feet can
be cured by a very simple procedure in the
early stages of life. Taken before it is six
years of age, a child with congenitaI dislocation
Of the hip can be cured by bloodless surgery.
After that the deformity cannot be cured with
out a severe operation.
At no time has DR.. Lorenz said that his
methods are in any way superior to those of
American surgeons. That people have come
to his clinic from all over the east and middle
west have never been advised that he possessed
magical powers. They sought him because of
the wide publicity that he on the occasion
of his first visit to this country Is years ago,
and because they were ignorant of the fact that
in every large city and a good many smaller
ones there are surgeons that are doing exactly
the same kind of work beneficial result of
DR.. Lorenz' visit is certain to be that informa-
ton regarding orthopedics will be much more
widely diffused, and that as a consequence
thousands of children, having been placed in
time under the care of competent surgeons, will
be restored to the full of their limbs

Bolshevism and Islamisnn.

1t has now been pretty clearly established
that one of the chief causes of the unrest in
India and in other Mohamedan countries is due
in large measure to the propaganda carried
on by Lenine, the Russian dictator II trans
pires that copies of proclamations issued to
the people of Turkey, Afghanistan Persia the
various states in Asia, Armenia and most of
the Caucasus region were a specious plea to
these people to rise against the British espe-
cially and those not under British rule to aid
those that are to throw off the capitalistic woke
and to come into their own. They have been
told that the peasants of Russia are now the
owners of the land. revealing in the wealth that
was once the exclusive privilege of the nobility
They frankly told that the purpose of
the soviet and the third International. is a
worldwide revolution which shall have for its
object the overthrow of the capitalistic system
and the division of the worlds riches nv the
working class
Lenlne,~ however, has seen a great light
The universal distress and suffering in Russia
threatens to overthrow him and his aides and
he accordingly now has appealed to the verv
system he has so strenuously denounced and
mas asked the bankers and factory owners to
again start the wheels turning in Russia and
save the country from ruin But the damage
done by the appeals sent out in an earlier day
has been done and directly inspired the war
which the emir of Afghanistan waged against
the British. When the fierce tribesmen poured
through the mountain passes into northern In

ing that they were finally subdued. 1t then
transpired that the murder of the old ruler of
Afghanistan was brought about by the soviet
rulers in Russia and that his son is under the
sway of Lenine and his associates The Afghans
were finally forced back over the border, but
the British were afraid to enforce many of the
terms in the old treaty, and the country still
constitutes source of danger to British rule
in India The whole world appears to have
gone mad.

Moral Sanction.

1t would be easy to go back to a certain
famous colloquy in the United States senate
over the relative value of legal and moral sane

The Tea and Coffee Question.

One or two cups of coffee with or
without cream and sugar for break
| fast every morning must be &C
knowledged to be harmless for
most adults. and in my judgment
should be deemed wholesome and
| beneficial for host adults. This is
true also of one or two cups of tea
with meals every day.
Coffee and in less degree tea de-
pend upon an alkaloid called caf-
fiene in coffee and tehine in tea
| for their well known stimulating
action upon the nervous system.
An alkaloid present in. cocoa and
| chocolate, known as theobromine,
has a similar action upon the nerv-
Gus system, the cocoa and choco-

beverages and coffee is the most
active.
Oxygen is a powerful stimulaEt
OF the nervous system. and most
of US take several drinks of oxy-
gen every day. Nobody has as yet

and therefore no extensive propa-
ganda to discourage the drinking

but we should not be surprised to
learn almost any day that oxygen

Children under the age of Is,
| are invariably harmed by coffee
and tea, and, in my judgment, by
cocoa or chocolate if they use the
latter habitually. 1t may be, as
many better doctors than myself
| believe, that a little chocolate or
cocoa made with a large proportion
of milk and cream is comparatively
harmless for children over 10 years
of age. Still, milk is the child's
beverage and why trife with the
child's nutrition? There are still,
or were until recently, a few par
ents with so little responsibility or
intelligence as to think that a little
beer does child no harm. Just
such people, by similar reasoning,
begin feeding young children weak
tea or coffee-and wonder why
their children are so nervous, so

Jerry, mending his lobster pots
on the beach, scowled as he saw

Templeton, while ostensibly taking
a much needed rest, was paying as

Jerry turned his back on the APP
preaching couple, but when they
had passed he gave his rival Il
surreptitious glance-noting \the
white silk shirt, the Immaculate
white trousers and the wrist watch.
Then he shifted disgustedly, for to
| him a man wearing a wrist watch
was on the same plane with white
woody poodle wearing a blue rib
bon bow. Turning suddenly, Ellen
caught his criticising eye, laughed,
and called back:

an emphasis on the several that
made Jerry long to pitch him into
the water; but instead, with a
smothered "Humph!" he swung up
the beach to the cottage he shared
with his crippled grandfather. The
old man on the step was casting a
weather eye over the sky, for he,
too. had seen Templeton and Ellen
putting off in the small boat, and
had also noticed the menacing
clouds in the northwest, and see
ing Jerry, he stopped smoking to
mutter fretfully:

his pipe skyward; then added with

Food For Waste Basket.

The Argus, in common with many other
newspapers, from time to time has had occas-
ion to call attention to the vast amount of
publicity matter sent out at public expense by
the various bureaus and departments at Wash
ington. 1t is safe TO assume that at least eighty
per cent of this is never read. In the average
newspaper Office it would take one man several
hours day to read and digest this publicity
matter, and newspaper men haven't that much
time even if public servants in the various
bureaus of the national capital have. And it
would be more worth while to take this time

voice shoreward and listened. His
heart almost stopped beating for
very joy, for across the flashing
waters a faint hail came to him
out OF the darkness. 1t was Ellen's

HEALTH TALKS
By William Brady, NJ. |
Noted Physician and Author.

Too many OF the self-confessed
neurotics in this country are add
ing to the bugaboos that haunt
their lives, the tea and coffee Pho
bia wholly upon the suggestion OF
some fellow who would persuade
them to substitute beverage he
has to sell.
According to the observations of
DR.. Philip B. Hawk, professor OF
physiological chemistry in Jeffer-
SON Medical college, Philadelphia,
professor Hawk is not physl-
cian), the presence of either tea
or coffee in no wise retards the d1-
gestion of food in the stomach
and DR.. Hawk is rather cold to-
ward coffee drinking himself.
One point that skinny or under
nourished folks should know is that
the sense of well being produced
by. tea or coffee sometimes encour-
ages the drinker in taking too lit
tie real food, deceives him with
the false sense of satisfied appetite.

O. What wood will resist decay
most successfully? R. M.
A. The forest service says that
this cannot be determined, since
various species act differently IL

A. A great many Indians are
