tracts the DeVout From All
Parts Of the World.

My Burmese friend Mnung Hkin
and visited together the Shwe Dagon
pngoda In Rangoon, which springs like
golden flame TO the height of 36S
feet among Its hame-bright trees.
| Holy and most holy, to IL come all the
Buddhist pilgrims of the world, for In
Its inmost heart lie hidden relics or
the four earthly Buddhas-the stan
of KaWkathan, the water filter of
Gawnagong, the robe OF kathapa and
eight hairs of the Gautama Buddha
Surely the most gorgeous shrine of all
the earth. covered with thin plates of
gold up to the jeweed tree swimming
In the blue air alOft! The original
shrine Is said to have been built In
$50 B. c., but who can think of any
thing so cold as chronology amid such
color and gloryi We stood upon the
noble platform before the towering
golden pinnacles of the mnny shrlnes,
each holding its calm image of the
blessed one-images from China. from
Tibet, from all the countries OF the
faithful, and the ardent green OF the
trees framed them with waving grace
and the happy people came and went
and made their homage about us, and
they and all the day overflOwed with
sunshine and joy.
"And now" said AIaung Hkin, ut
is fitting that we make an Offering to
the Lord Buddha. Thus is merit ac-
quired and blessing gained. You

| did not doubt and we proceeded
to buy some flowers from the heaped
masses of fragrance sold on the steps
ascending in flights and pauses from
where the great leogryphys go feet
in height guard the portals with their
noble grotesque. We bought also a
bunch of tiny tapers and little green
and gold sticks with which to light
them. and with all these we approached
! the central Buddha, majestic in peace.
| The attendant lit the tapers from the
burning rows with our sticks and set
them on the iron grille, white with the
| dripping Of myriad candles. He took
| both my hands i'm his and softly re-
| peated the invocation, and we laid
| down our flowers among the many that
made the shrine glorious. And then,
tnking each of our right hands, he
touched them with gold leaf on the
| back, and that was all. We had paid
our homage. Gold leaf Is always sold
at the entrance, that merit may be ac-
| quired by touching with 1t the Images
or any gilded part of the shrine.

The attorney general said that any
criminal prosecutions, for the most
part, would be matters of state law un-
less there had been some violations of
the federal statutes through the use of
the mails to defraud.
There is no need in this country,
Daugherty says, for vigilance organ

Helping With Proper Food.

"It was gratifying to learn of the
progress made largely through the eff
forts of the Department of Agricui
ture to bring about greater diversity
in farm crops" the letter continued.
"The home demonstration agents
have repeatedly pointed out the un
wisdom of farming only n single staple
crop, while relying on the Income from
this to purchase necessary elements OF
diet. such as fresh vegetables, milk
eggs. chickens and fresh meats.
"Moreover, the fact was brought out
that, although there has been some in

a result of the splendid support given

Increase of Pellagrs.


Despite the indignant denials
of some of the southern states,
it appears likely that there will be a
decided increase in the extent of pei
lagra in the South this year. Surgeon
General Cumming, head of the public
health service. recently sent to Presi-
dent Harding a letter which, 1t is de-
clared, confirms this view.
The letter recounts that the confer
ence of health officials which met re-
Gently in Washington had objected
principally to the allegation that pei
lagra was on the increase, and that
the increase was caused by fam
ine."
"In so far as the use of the word
famine is concerned" Doctor Cum
ming wrote "the public health serv-
ice pointed out that 1t had used the
term In scientific, restricted sense,
ceferring to diet which lacked some
essential elements of nutrition.
Doctor Cumming remarked Shat the
state health officers present at the
conference had voted against the fol
lowing clause in resolution submit
ted by one of their members: I'VE
do not regard the situation in any
sense as more serious than in the
last several wears"
