to be morality. true physiology to be
spirituality. These she recognized to
constitute public health. Az for So
called communicate BILE diseases. Mrs.
Eddy required strict obedience to
quarantine regulations, respecting not
only the law Of the land, but public
sentiment also. Nevertheless, she
knew that the only real germ is the
germ Of spiritual Truth, which when
cultured in human consciousness,
never ceases its growth till the whole
lump Of mertal thought is spiritual
lied and>qan's true self-hood appears.
This germ is highly infectious and
ease, but health. not discord, but, hkr->
mony, not death. but life.
But you say, how can one question
n germ theory of disease when one
may readily see the actual germ under
the microscope? The germ theory is
not provable by the microscope any
more surely than a mirage OF the des-
ert would be established as a reality
because seen through a telescope.
Neither magnifying nor minimizing
error can make it true.
AS to the germ theory OF disease.
there has arisen the usual failure Of
the doctors to agree. A famous mill
tary surgeon recently is reported to
have said that the more bacteria one
breathed, the less liable one would be-
come to disease, becauHe of the i'm
munity established through the sys-
tenn becoming accustomed to foul con-
ditions. y In other words, to become
immune from disease, get on familiar
terms with disease germs. Familiarity
with bacteria. it seems, breeds not
only contempt but immunity. Never
theless, such immunity is not material.
after all: but mental. That would
seem to be borne out by the fact that
physicians rarely take the diseases
almost never take their own rfedi-
cine.)
Again. a class Of investigators, num-
bering representatives of the Public
Health, Service. and many scientists
from u great universities, enter a
complete denial of the germ theory,
substituting therefor the worm theory.
These scientists ave hat so-called
germ diseases are ip reality worm dis
eases and already, the lengthy list Of
vegetable bacteria is p%aralleled by a
replacer set of animal worms. There
would seem to be small choice between
being consumed by germs or eaten by
worms; blu this innovation In medical
theories presents another realignment
OF the medical kaleidoscope.
The facts are that just as the atomic
theory gave place to changing thought,
embodied in the theory that matter is
electricity or holes in the ether, and
thus prefgured further and more
nearly final theories, 70 has the germ
theory OF disease begun to disintegate,
under the ~restiveneas Of the material
scientists thirst for ultimate knowl-
edge. A short time ago, It vas con-
sidered folly to challenge the germ
theory. Today. we have actually ar

Senator Cooding Proposes En-

The Commission itself may be made
a court of final Jurisdiction in rent
cases. with appeal to be taken only
to the Supreme Court OF the United

clared that this drafted amend
ment, or one similar to It, would have
to be inserted into the law to remedy
present evils.
The appeals from the decision OF
the Rent Commission to the District
Court of Appeals have been respon-
sible for much OF the delay involved
In carrying into effect the findings OF
the body. This fact was brought out
in executive session before the Senate
District Committee yesterday, in
which the Rent Commission was
heard.
There. is no question the law will
have to be amended" Senator Good

fact that the Supreme Court has de-

II do not want to criticise the

separate negotiations with the railway
managers in regional conferences. The

This was announced tonight by w.

would say little.

Mr.. Lee said, ITO handle wage ques
tions through our regional associations

BONUS SOURCE
Developed, 1t Will Pay
Whole War Debt,
Says Fall.

New York, Feb. 13.-Not only can
the government easily pay the bonus
to Americans who served in the war
but the country's war debt can be paid
if congress will 'liberalize" the law
permitting big business to develop
Alaska. Albert B. Fall, secretary of
the interior, declared Monday night at
the thirty-sixth annual Lincoln day
dinner of the National Republican
club.
Speaking on the question. "Can the
Country Pay Bonus?" Secretary Fall
answered unqualifiedly in the affirm
ative, pointing out that bonus had
been paid both after the revolutionary
and the civil wars. He also advocated
the development of Alaska as a means
of providing fitting employment for
war veterans, declaring that the revo-
lutionary veterans had set a precedent
in the development of the northwest
territory and the civil war soldiers had
pioneered the great west.
Capital cannot be attracted to Alaska
he said. until existing laws have been
modified. Government owned riches in
the territory, he added. had been re-
ported to his office by go~ernment
agents as almost limitless."

carrying out of the decision Of the all

valuables in churches Of all creeds in
Russia for the benefit of famine suf-

The value of the gold and silver

the precious metals and the jewels
alone are reported to be worth hun

Although varying sentiments have
been eyinced by churchmen as to the

TO s4,500,000
DEBTS; 8 YEARS
Boy Financial Wizard
Has Only $1,000 Left
He Tells U. S. Judge.
Says People Brought
Their Money to Him
After His First Deal.

Chicago. Feb. 13.-'I owe $4,5O0.-
900 and I have less than $1,000 in
cash." Raymond J. Bischoff told Judge
X. NJ Landis in federal court Monday
at the inquiry into his financial oper-
ations, which are alleged to have ruin
ed thousands of poor investors who
trusted him with their life savings.
Bischoff declared that he was only
25 years old and that he had accumu-
lated liabilities estimated by re-
ceiver appointed Saturday as totalling
approximately S5,OOO,O00. in less than
two years. He described the business
he had been conducting as general fl
nancial business, brokerage. and OIL
and said that he started it in the spring
of 1919 with $4,000.
Asked where he obtained this money,
Bischoff said that he had earned part
Of it working in the stockyards and
the rest was the result of stock specu-
lations.
No Business Experience
He declared that he had no previous
business experience, that he lived at
home at that time and that the only
other work he had done was in con-
nection with obtaining members for the
Boy Scouts.
Under rapid fire of questions from
Judge Lands, he said he felt he could
have recouped all his losses if the re-
proceedings had not halted
his career.
Despite Bischoff's protestations that
all of the millions he had handled had
been lost, search was begun for all
possible assets and Judge Lands issued
restraining order preventing Bischoff's
relatives from disposing of two flat
buildings, two houses, n farm, four
and the contents Of several
safety deposit boxes.
To Aid Scouts Father
Bischoff said his financial operations
began when the father of one of his
Boy Scouts came to him to obtain a
loan of $500, to help pay a mortgage.
He said he did not have the money
but obtained it by investing $3.50 be-
longing to the man who wanted the
loan.
This man." said Bischoff. "told
some of his friends about me and they
came to me and wanted me to do this
for them. One man told another and
The first thing / knew there were 100
people. They would loan me money
and / would give them my personal
