Ministers Must Help Cure Dis
ease in Future, Woman
Specialist Declares.

BINGHAMTON. N. Y, Feby 4.
Nine-tenths Of all surgical opera
tions performed today are uncalled
tor. Successful treatment Of dis
ease in the future must come
through the church as well as the
physician.
So contends DIR. Mary A. Snowe,
Of johnson City, famous AZ q nerve
specialist, and one Of the best
known women practitioners in the
east.
"There ia an inseparable union
Of the soul and body" DR.. SnOwe
declares. ITO a large extent med
icine, surgery and drugless meth
DDS Of healing and the Church OF
Jesus Christ must work together
IL we would treat and heal man
kind successfully. Sufferers should
Hbe treated physically, mentally,
spiritually and socially. It is safe
to estimate that eight out Of every
ten Of the patients treated by me
Tor stomach and bowel trouble,
heart trouble, liver trouble and all
kinds Of nervousness are really
suffering from fear, worry, anx-
| iety, Rrief-all Of which are wreck
ing the nerves of mankind. The
more active the brain the more
sensitive exhaustion.
when the victims of fear-neu-
rOais find no relief in medicine
they often turn to the Church, and
unfortunately, too many ministers
are 90 full Of theology that they
fail to recognize the mind has a
definite influence over the body
and religion n q powerful factor
both in the cause and cure Of
disease.
According to science, the 'isms'
and cults of toady are failures;
but, I ask you, 10 not this popular
success a reflection on the science
Of both the Church and medicine?
II they fail II Is because they are
working separately. They must
unite and work together. The
physician who only sees the heart,
lungs, kidneys, but not the man,
namely. the mind and soul, may do
much harm.
ALSO, the so-called faith heale r.,
who is unable to diagnose, has not
studied the treatment Of emotional
disorders and cannot do anything
but play upon the mind, and that
ignorantly, may do great harm. be-
cause he completely ignores the
body.
Let US believe, with st. Paul,
that q man has natural body as
will as spiritual body. The
physical man is not the whole
man. There must be cooperation
for the soul helps the flesh,
and the flesh. soul and body need

Society Woman Totes 6-Gun
and Practices on Cans to
improve Aim.
Rr InfernatlnnaI Mann Geryice.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-The Alkali
Ikes of Chicago do not pack six
guns around with them SO much
as simple folks, over in Regent
street and sauce manufacturers in
Worcestershire believe. But it's
getting to have quite a vogue
among the. city's women.
Mrs. Frank Townley Brown and
her daughter, Mrs. Gerald Grupe,
who live out along the exclusive
North Shore, are the proof.
Mrs. Brown paused, as she was
about to enter her motor car on
the way. to attend a. concert by
John Mccormack, and showed an
interviewer her weapon.
Its just a little 38-calibre six
gum" she said with an air Of
WELL, what of it?' She said she
had hear that 1t was quite the
thing for Chicago's society women
to pack gats around with them.
She and her daughter have the
permission of the Chief Of Police
to go armed. The servants, too, in
the Townley home carry weapons.
Mrs. Townley owns q farm near
Chicago. On dull afternoons she
spins out there and improves her
eye popping tomato cans off fence
rails with her six-gun.

British Boys, Haters
OF War, Refuse To
Join Cadets

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The army
authorities, finding it difficult to
get an adequate supply Of youths
for training as officers, recently
put a committee to work under
the chairmanship Of Viscount
Haldane to ascertain the reasons
for this reluctance on the part OF
British boys to make soldering
a profession.
Several reasons for the lack
of army candidates are given in
the committees report just is
sued.
The chief one appears to be
that British youth has had
enough of war, while some
school teachers are definitely
anti-militarist and advise their
