TAKES LAMP TO GRAVE

All the life Of the Eskimos may be
said to revolve around the family
lamp, which makes it possible for
them to dwell in an otherwise unin-
habitable region.
They depend upon it for their very
existence. 1t consists of shallow
semi-circular dish Of soapstone, with
a wick of fat-saturated moss. 1t de-
rives its oil from drippings Of a piece
of seal blubber suspended near the
flame.
Above the lamp is hung a pot for
cooking and above that is a network
of thongs, containing articles Of
clothing put there to dry in the
ascending warm air.
The lamp gives brilliant and
beautiful light, it cooks the food, it
dries the clothes, it heats the house,
and, not the least important, it melts
the snow for drinking water
The lamp is the recognized property
of the woman head of the family and
when she dies it is buried with her.

PEACE IN IRELAND

When Dali Eireann ratified the
treaty which promises to end ccntur-
les of bloodshed in Ireland, all the
world rejoiced, for the world has al
ways loved Ireland, and has sympa-
thized with their aims, if they have
not always approved of the means
Erin's sons have used In an effort to
accomplish these aims.
No one, probably not even the au-
thor. accepts Bernard Shaw's charac-
terization of ireland as "a cabbage
garden by the sea. Like most
writers of his school, Shaw cares more
for the proper turning Of his phrase
than for the accuracy of its fact.
The world is glad that the crack Of
the sniper's rifle is to be heard no
more in the streets and lanes Of Ire
land, and that the death dealing mo
tor lorry will no longer bring terror
and destruction to the country side.
Today it seems that the Little
Welshman of Downing Street has
solved a problem that has been vex-
ing England for centuries, and that
the names of Collins and Griffith will
take their place with the names Of
20 Cornell and Parnel in Irish his
tory, and in the Irish heart and that
a strife in which both sides have been
both unanswerably right and unan-
sworably wrong has ended, and that
the mute "harp that once thro' Tara's
hall its soul of music spread" tuned
from its discord, shall take it's right
full place in the concert of nations.

viii find it rising like a huge noun
tain above the undulating plain of
humanity, and he will have to lift
his eyes toward heaven to catch his
summit. He possessed every virtue
of the other great commanders with
out their vices. He was a foe with
out hate, a friend without treachery,
a soldier without cruelty, and a vic
tim without murmuring. He was a
public officer without vices, a private
citizen without wrong, a neighbor
without a reproach, Christian with
out hypocrisy, and a man without
guile. He was a Caesar without his
ambition, Frederick without his tyran-
ny, Napolean without his seliishness,
and Washington without his reward.
He was as obedient to authority as a
true king. He was as gentle as a
woman in life, pure and modest as a
virgin in thought, watchful as a
Roman vested in duty, submissive to
law as Socrates, and grand in battle
as Achilles"

THE NEW DOLLAR

A new silver dollar, intended to be
symbolic Of the era Of peace, is about

trust read with regret that the

would not starve if you had nothing else
for week; but one day at time, then
repeat in 8 or 4 days. This will give
you real benefit and real rich red blood
have often told you that there is al
ways cause back Of every condition
and the cause of illness is sometimes hard
/ to find but it must be done if a perma
nent cure is to be had.
CLUB NOTES:
Mrs. G.. A. A. of Illinois wants to know
the cause of cancer.
Dear DR.. Reeder:
In recent address before body OF
physicians one of the most advanced
theropeutists Of the present day made the
statement that cancer, tuberculosis,
Bright's Disease, diptheria and in fact
almost all known diseases had the same
origin and that it was taint in the blood.
T did not get the details OF his address
but have been advised that you were
present and would be glad to know what
this means. I have always been taught
that blood taint meant a specific blood
poison of syphilitic nature.
Answer: 1t was my good fortune to
hear that epoch making address. For a
number OF years have known that the
statements so boldly made were abso-
lutely correct. Without faint of sy-
philis in the blood there is, we may safely
say, no disease. This statement is not
reflection on the purity and integrity Of
The victim. Neither is it always a re-
lection on his ancestors. More has been
learned about the disease during the last
few years than before in all history and
The statement that fully 80 per cent OF
The infections are innocently acquired is
definitely proven. 1t is also asserted by
he ablest investigators that fully rs
Der cent of the infections thus innocently
acquired have been through vaccination.
This discovery was first made in Califor-
lia and when proof was shown to the
authorities they at once repealed the
state law on compulsory vaccination.
1t is also conclusively proven that the
;aint can be eliminated permanently
rom the blood, by the method Of treat
nent known as auto-heInic therapy. In
his no drugs are used but the blood is
;reated with the patients own potentized
md hemolized blood.
Many cases have been cured in this
way, by removing the cause.
All readers of this publication are at
liberty at all times to ask any question
pertaining to health. Address all COM
munications to DR.. David H. Reeder,
La Porte, Indiana, with at least 6 cts.
postage.

tice days! But even so, the official
lawlessness of war days was greater
in extent.
Worst of all was the deliberate and
diabolical use of the war-passion and
the wartime power to satisfy private
grudges. There is no doubt now that
under cover of thewar it was deliberate
ly planned to use the confusion to
strike down certain attempts at in
dustrial independence; there is no doubt
now that the program which began
in wholesale arrests Of certain classes
of American workers, ended in the
defationa Of the currency which threw
wages down and then brought unem-I
ployment.
"a Make no mistake, the powers Of
darkness have had their innings among
us Americans, and the best we can now
do is to do justice and release the po-
litical prisoners. Even where, as
political prisoners their restraint may
have seemed justified, as political
prisoners they are now entitled to be
free. This is granted in England,
France, Italy, Belgium, Austria -
everywhere; everywhere except the
United States and Russia ~.
''The delay in action has been too
long for Americans to take any pride
or do anys boasting should the petition
(of the General Defense Committee be
granted but to delay action any lon
ger would be a permanent stain. ,..
@Let the political prisoners go free"
While we await the further action Of
the President on the cases of the polit-
Gals, we ask that you who read these
expressions weigh well their significance
and pass the facts along to your neigh
Dor.
