THE WITNESS

In 1S4S the country went wild over the three Fox sisters,
OF Hydevine, N. Y They gave public seances IN America
and Europe-so-caIed spirit rappings and moving heavy OBJ
jects apparently without touching them. The Fox sisters
climaxed a wave of spirtualism that surged through the
American people.
Now we have a similar wave. Interest in psychic phe-
nomena is so intense that the Scientific American is Offer
ing two prizes of $500 each for proof
On a street car the other morning we overhead two men
discussing things psychic. One of them, a Big Talker, snort
ed: 'sThe whole thing is fakery--bunk.'
"A stranger sitting ahead OF him turned. Then this con-
versation:
STRANGER "Have you attended a seance? Have you
gone to the Libraries and read what the leading scientific OBJ
servers have written on the subject9 Have you thoroughly
inyestigated?'
BIG TALKER: "Well, no, but I've heard a lot about. =
STRANGER: "On what grounds, then, do you set
yourself up as qualified to pass judgments In court, a wit
ness has to be an expert to give disinterested testimony on
matters of medicine, business or science. The judge has to be
an expert. So do the attorneys. Yet here you come along,
with no knowledge of the subject except hearsay, and placid
ly pass judgment. I bet you don't follow the same rule when
you buy diamonds. No, you go to a reliable expert
This editorial is not a discussion OF spirituahsm OF
psychic phenomena of any sort, either for or against. But what
the stranger ON the street car had to say about expert opinion
set us thinking that he had touched a common human weak
ness-the tendency to set ourselves UP as authorities on SUD-
jects of which we are as good as lgnoPanta
Two men can almost come to blows, discussing the League
of Nations-although neither of them knows his subject 5
per cent. They have picked up a bit Of information mere, q
bit of misinformation there, taken snap Judgment and closed
their ears to argument.
The value of expert testimony seems to be recognized
only when we go to law, get sick or have a delicate piece oil
work to be done.
And we carry this tendency from our private lives into
our national affairs-for instance, a committee OF lawyers
in congress is appointed to investigate and decide IN a few
months a subject that experts are unable to master IN a life
time. One eastern city even appointed a horse doctor as Its
expert in a gassupply row.
When two people discuss calmly, they are learning, both
of them. When the conversation gets heated and argumen-
tative, they're generally merely displaying their Ignorance:
And we usually do our loudest arguing about things OF
which we are most ignorant. Vanity, precedent and snap
Judgment sway and ~unbalance the reasoning power OF the
human intellect.

Heavy Work on a Light Diet
The diet of Madame Bernhard
may not be practicable for the ave-
rage American, but it is interesting
because it departs considerably from
some of the usual principles of diet.
The worker ordinarily is supposed
to require a heavier ration than the
person who is at leisure. Bernhard
found that when she was working
hard at rehearsals she could not sat-
isfactorily digest a heavy meal. At
such times she followed what was
practically a liquid diet of chicken
broth, light salad, and whole wheat
bread.
Two days a week she took a COM
plete rest in her garden with her
BIRDS pets and flowers. On these
occasions her regime was about as
follows: On rising she took six
ounces of orange juice before her
pdllA LII SdhldSl NOllSlSlSu VI '5LeW~
ed fruit, one egg, weak coffee, one
slice of whole wheat bread. A typi-
cal lunch menu would contain a
small portion of broiled meat, baked
potato, salad made of lettuce and
celery with a dressing of lemon
mixed with a little red wine or
French oil, II slice of bread, and
stewed fruit without sugar.
In the afternoon she usually drove
through the woods and at $3.50 she
had the last meal of the day-cold
chicken, lettuce, a weak cup of weak
tea with lemon, and no bread.
For the brain worker in this coun-
try generally speaking, DIR. Stevens
suggests a breakfast of cereal, one
egg, and whole wheat bread. Cereal
and milk in the morning is not
enough to furnish fuel until AZ
o'clock. For luncheon vegetable
soup and bread are proposed as a
substitute for soda fountain drinks
and pastry.
An individuals attitude toward
life is a fairly accurate test of
whether or not he is giving his body
and brain the food that they need.
The following advice given by the
Department of Agriculture to the
housewife can also be profitable APP
piled by the individual who patron
ICES the lunch rooms, cafe
terias, and hotel dining rooms:
The health and appearance Of
the family are a good test of the
wholesomness of their diet. If they
are strong, well developed for their
ages. free from ailments, and full or
energy and ambition, one may safe
w say their food agrees with them.
But il they are l~istless and ailinS
or not so we'll developed either ply
sicalIy or mentally as they should
be and if a competent physician finds
that there is no special disease to
account for these pad symptoms, a
mother may well ask herself If the
food is right, and if not, how she
can make it So"
