DR.. BARTON'S
DAHYLETTER
CHANGE

Once in seven years, the physiolo
gists tell US, the human body under
goes a complete change. Seven year;
ago, if this be true, there was not
in your body shred of muscle OF
! fiber of bone that is there now. Thu,
does nature provide the method by
which she keeps US as young as we
| are.
Within the last seven years the
world has been made over.
Do you remember those days just
before August /, 1914?
War was coming, and we felt the
impending calamity but were incap-
able of preventing or even Of under-
standing it.
The thing was so inevitable, yet
so incredible.
The world did not want war, but
was moving every hour toward the
vortex.
We were on the brink of some
thing, ard did not know What it was.
We felt as we feel when the sky
is overcast, and the heat and terrible
calm settle down over the land, and
we wait for the bursting of the
storm.
Amazed tie world.
1t came sever years ago with
violence that amazed rs. @
We did not believe the world cap
able of such terrible hate, such stu
pendous folly. $685..
We had believed that the money of
the world would have been refused
and that the labor of the world
would have revolted, and that the
underlying spirit of good will among
the nations would have held mankind
back from so terrible a catastrophe.
And now, how much nave we have
learned as the result Of all we have
and fought?
To make the war worth what it
cost, we must secure to humanity
some permanent good commensurate
with the magnitude of the war itself.
That was not done on the battle
field and was not done at Versailles.
AS we now see the situation, those
results could not have been won
either by the sword or by the fierce
compromises of a penal peace.
| am not of those who believe that
the results of the war will all go to
waste. Some of them will, but not
all.
Needs Making Over
| believe it still is possible for the
world to salvage great and perma-
nent good out of the results of the
war, and that America can have her
honorable and righteous part in the
process.
The world has been made over in
the last seven years. 1t needs a
new making over in the next seven.
We still are too near the end of
the war to view it in perspective
But we are not too near to remember
the bIunders that followed the Civil
War and the blunders that follow
ed the conquest of Napoleon, and
to learn something from them.
