John Adams Tells Us

A CONSIDERABLE batch of interest.
~ ing correspondence has been uncuy-
cred recently. IL is made up Of tile pri-
yate letters written 10 each other by John
Adams and Thomas jefferson, during a
period between l777 and 1912, with some
interruption caused by political antagou-
ismS that divided these forefathers. TEe
letters are intimate and deal with all sorts
Of subjects. grave and gay political and
social, life and death, and they are illum-
mating of the character Of two Of the
greatest men who carried the hod and
handled the trowel on the foundation
work of the greatest country on earth.
One Of these letters, written ll2 years
ago is as pregnant now as il was then.
jefferson had written to Adams, obstrv-
ing that "the same political parties which
listed thru all time" Adams beloved
back: Precisely. While all other sci
enceS have advanced, that of government
Is at a stand; little better understood: lit
tie better practiced now than 5000 or
1000 years ago. What is the reason
l say parties and factions will not suffer
or permit Improvements TO be made"
That was Adams idea then, and it has
bitter application to the very present.
Some ll2 years have slipped away, polltl-
cal parties and partisans have come, strut
ted, governed and gone, and they have
added not at all TO the science of govern
ment because, as Adams said, parties and
factions would not and did not permit I'M
provements to be made. We began to
founder at the beginning and we have
made it habit. Blithely Indifferent t.
what We believe is best and still creatures
Of party habit, we go laundering on to
what and where?

Monkeys IN the Jungle


uOW do you explain this? Health ex-
IL perts frequently say cities are hot
beds Of disease, and that most Of our i'll
ness is due 10 living an unnatural life.
Yet an expedition from the great medical
university, Johns Hopkins. learns that
monkeys living in the fresh air and sun
shine of Central America have physical
ailments like civilized mans
I'VE found that almost all Of the mon
keys were i'll, reads the report.
The monkeys had abscessed teeth, pleu-
rlsy, rlngworm, gland swellings, lice, and
so on.
Native Indians nearby, living in the
same healthful environment as the mon
keys, are being exterminated rapidly by
pneumonia and tuberculosis.
A LONG comes Prof. c. Elliot Smith.
n famous British Egyptologist, and
announces that people 5000 years ago had
all sorts of diseases. This is learned by
laboratory examination Of mummies.
Ancient Egyptians rarely had tubercu-
losis. But they had lots of cancer rheu-
matism, mastoiditis, smallpox and harden
ing Of the arteries.
CEARCH history Explore the modern
~ world. Seemingly everywhere YOU
find diseases-and quite naturally. since
nature has to have ways to kill living crea-
lures off to make room for oncoming gen
erations.
The nearest known approach TO perfect
health is among the Eskimos. Cold fresh
air and plenty of exercise.
But don't draw the wrong conclusion
from all this. Don't decide that disease
Is inevitable, unavoidable
The outstanding fact is that health is
constantly. in danger of attack, no matter
where you are, and that il must be con-
stantly protected
Precautions can largely overcome UNI
