SWEET EMOTIONS

Rapid increase in consumption of sugar is
endangering American health says DR.. J. S.
Landlord of San Antonio, Texas, writing in
the New York Medical Journal,
DR.. frankfort says that the average Ameri-
can consumes 85 pounds Of sugar year, an
increase of 81 pounds in 40 years.
He believes that an unchecked use of sugar,
in addition to undermining various organs of
the body, ultimately will affect our emotions
and tend to make us unstable as people.
The emotonalism Of the Latin races and
tropical peoples is due to their excessive indul-
gence in sugar, either in the refined state or by
chewing raw ribbon cane, according to DR..
Landlord.
Two thousand years ago the Romans had no
sugar and were a strong, stoical and unshak-
able people,. Sugar was not introduced into the
Mediterranean Basin until the Saracens brought
it in the eighth century. It never became abund-
ant until it was transplanted to the West Indies
and later to the American southern states.
Sugar" continues DR. Landlord, "has been
pouring in stream down the Threats of the
Mediterranean peoples for hundreds of years,
not only from the table, but in candy and
drinks. It has made them increasingly emo
tonaI. History will show that the French have
undergone a similar change 'and perhaps, the
Spanish.
Perhaps increased emotionalism has en-
rished the world in ronance, poetry, art and
music 1t were better that the human race suf-
fer some deterioration than to have been with
out the rich romance Of French literature, the
enhancing stories of Ibanez, the passionate
truth in the art of Italy, France and Spain, and
the matchless melody Of Mexican music.
But it is wise to moderate our excuses in
the use of this valuable food and safeguard
the health and stability Of our people,"

THE STTLLMAN CASE

Twenty years hence, the two innocent chill
dren now involved in the Stillman divorce case
will be pointed out in public and, if their ears
are sharp will hear whispers behind their
backs.
No matter what the outcome of the Stillman
case, no matter what is proved or disproved,
these two children will pay the price for their
parents
They may develop into honorable and tai
ented men, excellent citizens, but scandal will
shadow them to their graves. For scandal is
a tar that never washes entirely off. This is
both unfortunate and unfair to the children
figuring in the Stillman scandal, but it is a
fact as hard as agate, fact that can't be
lodged
In the Stillman case there is mighty lesson
and grave warning for all fathers and mo-
theirs The lesson is this - that the sins of the
parents are visited upon the children, even
unto the third and fourth generations.
child may be born into poverty which
can be overcome. He may be handicapped by
Ill health-through no fault of his parents.
But the child who starts life with stigma
shadowing his name is denied his rightful
heritage.
Mothers and fathers, guard well your good
name and character lest your child in later
years deservedly turn on you the accusing
finger.

ARE YOU A STAR?

We cant all be stars, but we can all do our
bit Of shining. Some folks are not happy be-
cause they can't be the Mary Pickfords, the
John D. Rockefellers, the Thomas A. Edisons or
the Warren Hardings Of the eternal movie called
Life. But
Mary Pickford and the other stars would
never shine without support. And the glory of
the heavens at night is not in the single bril-
MANUFACTURING planet, but in the myriad-scat-
tered specks of stardust that surround it, each
doing its little bit to shine its best.
IF we cannot iumine the world, we can
brighten the corner where we are in our
homes, at work or in social fellowship.
Though the specl, of star-dust never be-
comes any brighter, shine as it will, the ra-
dance Of the determined man or woman who
make the best of what they are and have, ex-
pands with practice, often into stardom.
