FUNDAMENTALS AND ouAcKs.

The genesis of healing cults and the
popularity OF quacks were interesting
ly discussed by Dr. 9. w. Dowden Of
Louisville, Ky, in his address as presi-
dent uf the Mississippi Valley Medical
Association now holding q convention
in this city. Responsibility was
placed on doctors on their neglect of
fundamentals IN order 60 acquire a
quick, superficial knowledge of some
special branch.
To make a correct diagnosis, Dr.
Dowden said, does not require intel.
lectual brilliancy or elaborate equip
ment, but 1T does piesuppose a
knowledge of the fundamentals and
honest, conscientious work. Where
such knowledge Is wanting YOU have

JUST FOLKS

THE PARTY.

II msy be I'm old fashioned an my
style is rather plain
But ia like TO see the parties Of my
boyhood once again;
We didn't have 'em often, an they
lacked the pomp an show
OF the gay an brilliant gatherings
which this age has come 20 know !;
But they had thrill about 'em, an
whatever folks may say
The world lost something wholesome
when the custom passed away.
Our notion of a party was a family
affair,
With all the aunts and cousins and the
uncles gathered there,
An the young folks maxim merry an
the lovers whispering
An The bushes an excuses when we'd
ask Aunt lii to sing:
An the silence an the wonder an as
we heard some friend recite
To our constant admiration, "Curfew
Shall Not Ring Tonight"
Now the family seldom gathers as OF
old IL used TO do,
We have changed our old-time glad
ness for the customs of the new
An ! can't help feelin' sorry, for what,
ever folks may claim
The old-time family party never
brought regret or shame
Though j don't know how 10 say it
still somehow it seems TO me
What we really need are parties of ths
kind that used to be.

BISHOP COOKS WORDS.

The Right Reverend Philip Cook,

In strong protest against further
increase IN the worlds armaments. In
a formal letter ITO the clergy of his
diocese in this state, he calls upon
them To observe November as u day

In many ways this document which
comes from Bishop Cooks hands h
a remarkable one, Let us quote just
"a few paragraphs, which show how
the Bishop strikes at the heart of
the worlds problem:
at is becoming increasingly evi-
dent that these armaments are an
|intolerable burden TO many nations
and OF questionable value TO all. The
policy they represent leads To ma :
tional bankruptcy: IL civilization, as
represented by ordered governments
does not destroy war war will destroy
CIVILIZATION.
Despite the fact that the United
states has refused 20 participate IN
the League OF Nations, the countries
OF the world have recognized its
neral leadership by cordial re.
/ sponse TO the call OF tho President
TO meet In conference and deliber.
ate on international questions and
If possible devise plan for the re-
duction Of armaments by mutua
agreement. The sessions will be hel,

'The representatives OF the nation,
