MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY IRWIN COBB

Several versions of this story are current
but the one l like best of them all goes like
this:
There was a colored preacher who served
term in states prison in West Virginia for
horse stealing. After his release he changed
his name and moved to Alabama. There he
became the pastor of a prosperous flock. He
figured that his past life was entirely buried
None of the congregation had the slightest
suspicion that he was an eX-convict and he
hoped to go on until the end of his days en-
loving the confidence of the community.
But one Sunday as he entered the pulpit, he
suffered a distressing shock. Sitting in front
pew was a black man he instantly recognized
as former cel-mate in the penitentiary. That
wasn't the worst of it. He could tell by the
expression on the others face that the latter
also had recognized him. He had a feeling
either that he must submit to blackme-1 =

Then he opened the Good Book fixed his eyes

WATER CURE SOMETIMES HELPs-By Science SERVED

SAN FRANCISCO, June 28.--Water was
extolled as a potent remedy in many diseases
by Prof. j. M. Ander, of the University of
Pennsylvania in 8 talk this morning to mem
bers of the American Medical Association now
in annual session here.
Both hot and cold water applications to
the surface of the body have definite effects
which can be used in the treatment of dis
ease he asserted. Cold baths help to reduce
temperature; warm baths may be useful in
Bright's disease, rheumatism, and joint in
Illumination, through assistance in elimination
of poisOns from the blood
But unregulated bathing in public bathing
places has it's dangers as DR.. H. M. Taylor, OF
Jacksonville, Fla, pointed out. Doctors have
accumulated much evidence, he said, showing
the dangers of ear infection following bathing
in swimming pools and in the sea. Sanitart-
ans have given much attention to disnfecting
the water by the use of chlorine and other
methods, but there remain other factors aside
from contaminated water which may have an
influence in producing disturbances of hear
ing, and DR.. Taylor recommended study Of
them.
Infectious jaundice is becoming more COM
mon throughout the country, Dr. George
Blumer, formerly professor of medicine at
Yale university, told the convention. Since
other diseases cause the yellow color of the
skin and the fever which accompany this dis
its diagnosis is sometimes difficult, and
it is necessary for doctors to exercise some
skill to distinguish it and to provide appro-
pirate treatment.
Surgical removal of the tonsils was de-
clared to be generally the best method of cur
ing infections of them and preventing general
infections of the body. Doctors M. w. Cliff
and B. E. Shurley, of Michigan, said that al

After all, this entire TODD over censor

The strife is likely to continue for the
simple reason that neither side to the con-
troversy is unqualifiedly right Decency
is always a matter of judgment, balance,
adjustment and common sense. 1t can never
be made a matter of rules and of hard and

No church or censor board or state or
law is ever going satisfactorily to prescribe
what is proper nor prescribe what is I'M
proper.
\ Those matters will continue to depend
upon the time, the place and the girl

complex thing. 1t results from the func-
and conscience that have. 1t implies

way to escape the responsibility that &C

4 Prolific Cause of Motor
Accidents and Fata1it;e

Accidents ana L dCdHt1SS
xurHY are automobile traffic accidents,
M already appal1ingly numerous, fast in
creasing? Why is it that killings in
this connection-nearly ten thousand in 1919
have multiplied in the three succeeding
years forty-two percent? Why is it that de-
spite speed laws and traffic regulations and
he earnest purpose of the majority of motor
vehicle drivers to avoid accid -nts, the toll of
Injuries and fatalities steadily mounts?
Consider by way of answer the current re-
port of an investigation by the National Blu
reau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters, an
institution of national prestige. It's research
thus far has been mainly to determine what
is being done to prevent irresponsible and in
efficient driving. Thrty-five States, it finds,
require the licensing OF only professional
chauffeurs; fifteen States require the licens-
ing of all motor vehicle operators; nine re-
quire examination for chauffeurs licenses;
seven require examination for all motor We
hicle operators. That is to say, "Thirtythree
OF the forty-eight states make no attempt
whatever to exercise supervision over the
great ma jority of their highway users, while
forty-one make no attempt to determine the
fitness of drivers to 1se the highway, al
though high degree of public danger is in
volved OF the seven States remaining the
supervision Of motor vehicle operators exer-
are actually only four or five States In the
Union which observe that degree Of super
vision which ought to be the universal rule"
In those four or five States, moreover, &C
cidents are fewest. In Connecticut, Maryland
and Massachusetts, for example, automobile
fatalities during the last three years have de-
creased two per cent Notwithstanding that
their automobile registration grew fiftyeight
per cent In the country at large, during the
same period, automobile fatalities increased
forty-two percent, the number of deaths in
1922 being fourteen thousand. The authori-

POISONOUS THOUGHTS

Anger, envy, fear, resentment, jealousy, worry, hatred,
these are just as poisonous to ones system as any poisonous
drug that one might swallow. True enough, just one dose Of a
drug might be disastrous but given numerous enough and large
enough quantities of these poisonous drugs of the emotions,
the ultimate result would be the same.
The person who takes poisonous drugs we consider abb
nc1mal, but every one of us INDUCES at some time or other. in
these emotional poisons. If we could positively realize the fal
lacy of such indulgence, and fully sense its disastrous effects
there isn't one Of us but what would learn to curb our thoughts
and at least attempt to suppress such venomous emotions.
Just as poisonous drugs steal through the entire SYSTEM
poisoning the blood, destroying the tissues, sapping the vital
ity, SO these poisonous thoughts and feelings creep insidiously
into every nook and Granny Of our mind and heart, poisoning
our affections, duling our finer s~ensiblities and finally wreck
ing our health and happiness.
Not only do they affect one mentally but they are just as
sure and positive in their physical reaction as any poisonous
drug that one might swallow. The average case OF chronic
dyspepsia or acute Indigestion is due more often to poisonous
thoughts than to poisonous diet. Care of ones diet is often a
necessary and always a wise precaution, but care of ones
mental and emotional diet is a still wiser one.
Are you taking that precaution, or are you disturbing
your mind, poisoning your body and wrecking your happiness
