DR.. Empringham said: There are
many of US who are opposed to the

reason why We should overstep the
boundaries that that law marks on:

He said the aim and end of religion
is to establish union between God and
man, and that punishment for sins Is
only incidental to the progress of man.
Realization, he said. that God suffers
when men sin should draw men to him.
Speaking of the problems of the

field the problems become tragedy

The whole rural world is In fer
paralleled volume and intensity of de-
termined, if not angry, protest, and an
ominous swarming of 0ccupational con-
ferences, interest groupings, political
movements and propaganda. Such a
turmoil cannot but arrest our atten-
tlon. Indeed, it demands our careful
study and examination. 1t is not like
ly that six million aloof and ruggedly
Independent men have come together
and banded themselves into active
unions, societies, farm bureaus, and so
forth, for no sufficient cause.
Investigation of the subject conclu-
sively proves that, while there is much
overstatement of grievances and mis-
conception of remedies, the farmers
are right in complaining of wrongs
long endured, and right in holding that
1t is feasible to relieve their Ills with
benefit to the rest of the community.
This being the case of an industry
that contributes, in the raw material
form alone, about one-third of the ma
tional annual wealth production and
is the means Of livelihood Of about 40
per cent of the population, it is OBJ
vious that the subject is one Of grave
concern Not only do the farmers
make up one-half of the nation, but
the well-being of the other half de-
ponds upon them.
SO long as we have nations, wise
POLITICAL economy will aim at large
degree of national self-sufficiency and
self-containment. Rome fell when the
food supply was too far removed from
the belly. Like her, we shall destroy
our own agriculture and extend our
sources of food distantly and precari-
ously, if we do not see to it that our
farmers are well and fairly paid for

Treatments Prescribed by Physicians
There Bring Smile to the Lips
Of the Westerner.


The art Of healing is still based
on faith and superstition in China.
To the Chinaman evil spirits play
great part in all illnesses. The
earth is supposed to be full Of evil
spirits ready to pounce upon the un-
wary whenever they see an oppor-
tunity.
Should child be i'll, it is believed
that the soul has left the body. 1t
must be called back before the child
can recover. Calling for the return
of the soul is custom prevalent in
all parts of China.
1t is also the custom to pray for
holy medicine. A patient may pay
visit to the temple and take from
the altar tube containing num-
bered sticks. He passes the tube
over the incense several times until
one of the sticks falls out This is
picked up and the number on it is
read. A corresponding slip contain
ing a prescription is then handed
to him.
AS a treatment for apoplcxy, ser
penis liver is surely unique, but
this is prescribed by the best Chi
nese doctors. Pigs feet and deer's
tendons are prescribed for weak legs,
and fishes heads for headache and
giddiness.

Let us, then, consider some of the
farmers grievances, and see how far
they are real In doing so, we should
remember that, while there have been,
and still are, instances Of purposeful
abuse, the subject should not be ap-
preached with any general imputatlon
to existing distributive agencies Of de-
liberately Intentional oppression, but
rather with the conception that the
marketing of farm products has not
been modernized.
An ancient evil, and persistent
one, is the undergradIng Of farm prod
ucts, with the result that what the
farmers sell as of one quality is re-
sold as Of higher. That this sort OF
