Play and Warfare

MI that primitive played The fact is, how

to eat and killing his neghbor to say nothing of drag

DR.. Syivanus Morley, archaeologis of the Carnegie
Institution, said the other day that recent discoveries
show that the ancient Mayans played basketball in Chi
chen liza 500 years before America discovered by
Columbus
"The traces of basketball courts in the lost city of
Chichen liza found by the expedition that cut
through the jungles in 1924 and 1925"
If the primitive played, however, it rather
primitive play. His energy found expression in the
struggle to keep alive and to combat with wild animals
and other men.
Play is product of civilization. 1t only becomes
widespread as the danger of war is abolished

play the less No nation is happy without play

|Life's Hurdle
BY L. E. Bisch

Every human being is continual
ly on the defensive.
We are continually making ex-
cuses for our conduct.
Our egotism, our conceit, our
stubbornness are forever preventing
us from facing the real, true facts
about ourselves.
We are always trying to justify
our mistakes.
We simply cannot bear to be-
lieve ourselves wrong.
We are prone to criticize others
but altogether too loathe to recog-
nize our own weaknesses.
IL you doubt the validity Of these
statements. if you think they are
exaggerations. have a heart-to-heart
talk with yourself and see for your
self.
Review your own life and you
may be surprised to find how little
you have changed, how slightly you
have benefited bv our errors OF
the past, by your faulty habits.
Examine your way Of living and
thinking for the past year and com
pare IL with the year that preceded.
Have you changed much?
Have you not perhaps been just
about as unsystematic. as careless.
as thoughtless, as indolent, as you
ever were?
And do you recall that when New
Years day arrived you resolved ito
turn over a new Leaf"
Yes. IL we keep honest tabs on
our habits we are often surprised
at what we find.
We give too much advice to others
instead Of giving the same advice
10 our stIftSs
And yet II is so easy, really, TO
explore ones inner self honestly and
fearlessly and to profit by our faulty
habits.
With a little practice it ceases to
upset us.
With a little patience we learn to
make good. to repair the faults, to
be happy in the realization that we
have conquered and are marching
forward to capture the prizes OF
achievement that the world holds in
store.
Watch YOURSELF
You will never regret it.
1t may mean the turning point o!
your entire career.

Saccharin and Sugar
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

About forty years ago Professor
Ira Remsen discovered saccharin.
1t is a white powder that is several
hundred times sweeter than sugar.
1t is one of the products Of that
most amazing substance in all the
world-coal tar. Out of that black,
sticky substance the modern chem
ist, as a magician brings rabbits and
pigeons and goldfish out of a silk
hat, has brought some of the most
valuable medicines in the doctors
kit, perfumes that Guido the flow
ers, dyes that have revolutionized
the dye industry and flavors Of in
finite variety.
At first saccharin, the creative
chemists substitute for sugar, was
hailed as boon to mankind.
Then the gentlemen with money
invested in the sugar business got
busy. Their craft was in danger.
They started and have industriously
kept up a propaganda against sac
charm.
Over and over you see that state
ment that this substance is injurious
to health.
It is not.
Taken in small doses, which is the
only way anybody takes it, it has
no effect whatever upon human
tissues.
1t is not a food. 1t is condi-
ment. OF course il it is claimed
that it is a food, that is untrue. As
a food substitute for sugar it is
fraud because it has no nourishing
quality.
But If the purpose is simply to
make a food tasty BY being sweet,
it is not a fraud.
Anything taken in doses too large
is injurious. Sugar itself is harm
full if you eat too much. Common
salt is a poison if too much is taken.

Lack of organized opposition accounts in part for
the light vote. Yet if there had been strenuous
effort to defeat the issue is probable that fifteen
twenty thousand qualified voters in the City of San
Antonio would have remained away from the polls on
election day.
Although the outcome of the bond issue election

Kind Criticism
BY "The Spectator"

at is better to hear the re-
Duke Of the wise than for a man
TO hear the song Of FOOLS" says the
Book of Proverbs, that volume Of
wisdom of the old Hebrews.
And again: He that rebuketh
a man afterwards shall find more
favor than he that flattereth with
the tongue
The ability to understand the
kindness Of rebuke is a test Of
mans true wisdom.
At the time OF rebuke only a
big-souled man can calmly appre-
ciate its value.
All the "littles" in a mans ma
ture-the little clements of pride,
vanity. egotism, sclf-satisfocrion-
arise in angry, buzzing, unthinking
resistance.
Only the great. calm, deep. quiet
elements are able to pause and
weigh imDartially the justice of the
rebuke and estimate its worth.
Gladstone, one of England's trulg
great men, who remained calm and
serene amid the stormy life Of
British politics, once made a valu-
able statement OF his attitude to-
ward criticism.
He said: @Ccnsurc and criticism
never hurt anybody. If false, they
cannot harm you unless you are
wanting in character, and il true,
they show a man his weak points
and forewarn him against failure
and trouble"
Socrates said the only reason h.
saw for thinking himself wiser than
other Athenians was that he knew
he did rot know things they did nor
know either but thought they did.
There was another important
reason he did not mention.
He realized tine valGe Of rcbuke.
When he was being let away TO
his death Socrates asked those
around him 10 grant him one last
favor. 1t vas to robuke his sons
when they were found in error as
be he'd rebuked the Athenians.
The true kindness is to point out
n fault instead Of letting it so for
the sake OF getting along
This is distinct from nosging or
harping on the fault After the
weakness OF deiaction has been
brought to his attention the person
himself must do the correcting.
Kindness that takes the form Of
not wanting TO incur tie disploasurc
Of someone By telling him Of faults
is often only n shield for cowsrdico.
1t is love Of case masquerading az
love OF another.
The mother who Is 50 kind TO
her children that they grow up with
bad habits that later ruin their lives

health, yet an overdose would kill
you. So to say that too much sac
charm is injurious is piffle, though
true. For so rs too much Of any.
thing.
Thousands Of diabetes have been
frightened by anti-saccharin hints
darkly thrown out by reputable ply
sicians. They need have no fear.
They can take what little sac
charm they need to sweeten their
coffee with perfect IMMUNITY.
1t does no harm to sweeten a can
OF corn, or a stick Of candy, or a
glass Of soda water with saccharin.
All the possible harm 1t could do
would be to replace the food value
OF sugar. But all the food value
Of the corn is there, and the sac
charm does it no harm, and people
do not eat candy nor drink pop for
nourishment, but for fun.
The Referee Board Of the Gov
eminent has carefully investigated
this matter, and what Is said above
is based on It's findings.
The reader therefore can depend
upon it that, In the language Of the
boards report:
ny Small quantities Of saccharin
up to three-tenths>o of grain per day
are without deleterious or poisonous
action, and are not injurious to
health.
(2) The addition Of saccharin 30
foods, in large or small quantities,
does not, so far as the findings of
this board show, affect in any way
the quality or strength of the food.
(3) The use of saccharin in food
in quantities injurious to health is
improbable, since its extreme sweet
ness would render it disagreeable
to the taste.

A New England reader asks for
an article on chronic diarrhea. She
wants to know its dangers, the
chance Of cure and the diet to be
followed in the treatment.
Chronic diarrhea is the natural
reaction from chronic constipation.
After years Of costiveness, the in
testinal tract loses its tone and it
seems impossible for it to get back
TO normal.
Ill health Is a factor. II the
body is weak, the muscles soft and
the heart flabby, the functions of
some or all the organs become i'm
paired. Diarrhea is one Of the symp-
toms which are likely to result.
Diseased teeth and tonsils, chronic
nasal catarrh, chronic bronchitis,
running ear, or other pus infection
may be followed by an intestinal
infection. When this occurs, diar-
rhca is likely TO appear.
The thing / want to make clear
is that chronic diarrhea is not a
disease, really, but rather is a symp-
tom Of a run down condition. This
statement will make clear that in
its treatment, first consideration
must be given to building up the
general health.
1t is easy to say this, isn't it?
But what n job it is 10 build up
the general health! 1t means weeks
and months Of intelligent effort. 1t
means changing the habits of a life
time and doing things which are
distasteful in the beginning.

CURING CHRONIC DIARRHEA

United States Senator From New York.
Former Commissioner OF Health, New York City.

of business. II this has been your
practice you just dread going out
to a public place to eat. You hate
the noise and clatter, the hum OF
conversation and the very smell OF
n restaurant. Yet this sort of a
change, much as it CRATES on you,
may do you good. 1t makes you
think new thoughts. 1t gets you
out Of a rut.
But, Of course, this has nothing
to do with the diet in chronic diar-
rhea. 1t is merely an indication
of the changed life one must lead
to shake off chronic disability Of
another nature.
In chronic diarrhea the food must
be selected with a view to escaping
intestinal irritation. Fiber and
husk must be avoided. Everything
eaten should be strained through
fine collander. Even the cereals
should be strained. The outer COW
ering may be so harsh and irritat-
ing as to do harm.
Celery, peas, beans, cabbage
spinach and other valuable vegeta-
bles are harmful in this condition,
il eaten without special prepare
ton. The capsule or skin and the
fiber act as scrub brushes TO the
intestinal walls. This is desirable
in health, but must be avoided TO
permit the healing of inflamed in
festival walls.
Buttermilk and acidophilus milk
are desirable additions TO the diet.
They help to free the bowel Of the
germs of fermentation.

SENATOR ASHURST TELLS EVILS
OF FEDERAL BUREAUS
IN ARIZONA

Senator Henry Ashurst adds start
ling testimony to the general senti
ment adduced by the u. S. Senate
Committees recent Investigations
The time has come" says Ashurst
when Congress should consider whe-
ther to amend or abolish the bureau
that practically has destroyed the
Arizona cattle industry"
With open ranges abolished by gov
ernment forest reservations, where
for ages cattle and livestock thrived,
there is no possibility until govern
ment aid produces irrigation from the
Colorado, of rebuilding this industry
Nearly seven-tenths of Arizona is
plastered over with forest, Indian,
national parks and power reservations
from which the government derives
profit from timber, grazing and con.
cessions. Thus Arizona is robbed of
its ability to grow and develop into a
prosperous and populous state.
When Arizona was admitted under
the Enabling Act, the government was
restricted to five years in which to
make federal reservations for power
sites, reclamation, etc. That five-year
period elapsed on Dec. 81, 1917.
But the federal power commission,
ignoring that understanding, has gone
on until nearly the whole state is y
federal reservation of some kind from
which Uncle Sam derives a financial
profit by sale or lease of the natural
resources of them unfairly filched
from the baby state' and necessary
10 it's growth.
1t is now as if the "baby" were on
crutches from under nourishment and
losses that enhance the various bu-
reaucracies organized to make Ari-
zona federal reservations profitable
These federal bureaus, especially the
forest bureau, are engines of oppres-
sion and tie up large area of Ari.
zona that ought to bring revenue to
the state in taxes.
AS stated by Senator Ashurst, ''Nei-
ther German nor Russian bureaus
have exceeded the injustice perpetrat-
ed by this forestry bureau 1t moves
but seldom and then in the wrong
direction. Red tape, prolixity, delay
huge expense accounts and prurient
itch for favorable mention are its
gods"
