DISEASES OF CIVILIZATION

The civilized world possesses ad-
vantages over the uncivilized; all
except in the matter of health.
Look at our formidable array of
life-destroyers, that were unknown
to the cave-man: Cancer-un-
known to the Aborigine. Consti-
pation-parent of a hundred seri-
Gus conditiOns--the American In
dian never heard of it. Colitis, ap-
pendicitis, hemorrhoids-al civil
lied adornments!
Neuritis in all its forms-none
for the Hottentot. Ulcers of the
digestive tract-no Zulu or Sikh
ever had one. Pyorrhoea-the can
nibals had the finest teeth explor-
ers ever saw. Did you ever hear
of the Siwash Indian having dys-
pepsia? A Hopi having govt? A
Senegambian with "blood-pres-
sure?" Any apoplexy among the
.Seminoles? Heart disease has
never caused the death of a noble
Red Man! Queer, isn't it?
When we stop to think, the facts
are astounding; perhaps the
healthiest bread ever made, was
from corn kernels pulverized be-
tween heavy stones, the meal mix
ed with water to the proper con-
sistence, and baked upon brick-like
earth, under the embers of an out
door fire. At least it produced the
healthiest human beings, even If it
did its tickling" below the palate.

YOUR FRETFUL CHILD

The peevish, fretful baby is
known to most parents. Given a
new toy, or a piece of candy, he
accepts it for the moment-to cast
it aside, and resume his ill-temp-
cred habit.
To assume that such a little one
is only exercising a naturally bad
disposition is a pitiably erroneous
conclusion. The trouble is, he is
not healthy, and no amount Of
spanking will cure him.
No child in perfect health will
fret,-unless his clothing may be so
fitted or adjusted that it hurts him,
or make him uncomfortable. To
punish a baby, or to accuse him of
being the possessor of a bad "tem-
per" just because we didn't know
what ails him, shows how inco1n-
petent even some mothers may be-
come.
In case the baby is frettul, bear
in mind that his digestive tract is
the first thing likely to have gone
wrong; see to it that his food is of
the right kind, and given at proper
times. Do not over-feed, as you are
so prone to do yourself. 1t is baby's
business to grow-and growth is
painless; he will grow if you give
him half a chance.
If you cannot find the cause of
baby's fretfulness and apparent
ill-temper, that doesn't mean that
there is no cause for it. Don't let
him grow into a spindling, i'll
nourished, fault-fnding neurC tic, as
he may dO-if you and your family
physician do not keep in touch
closely.
Doping" babies with soothing
syrups has been long under the
ban; no intelligent, reading mother
will resort to such lazy, criminal
tactics; see that your baby is all
right inside-then outside. There
are no other sides to baby.

countries.
What Communists Say.
The Communist International
states:
"The Chinese Revolution with its
tremendous sweep and its enormous
influence upon the colonial world and
upon the European proletariat, has
caused an extraordinary intensified
ton of the crisis Of capitalism. The
seriousness of the crisis has caused
the imperialists to join forces and
compelled them for the moment to
bury their differences beneath their
rifles and bayonets. Their crusade
against China, their plans for a Grim
inal provocation of the Soviet Union
place the cause of peace in the whole
world at stake"
American Imperialism is playing a
significant role in this intention. 1t
is to the interest of American imper-
ialism 10 maintain a situation in
China where the exploitation of the
Chinese workers would be unhindered.
The annual report of the Secretary
of the Navy for 1926 states that
there were 1898 marines stationed
IN China, Haiti, Cuba and Nicaragua.
Undoubtedly since the struggle of the
people in China for liberation, this
number has been increased.
According to the study of the Cost
of government in the United States"
made by the National Industrial Con-
ference Board, it is found that five
years after the close of the war ex-
penditures were $50 per cent higher
than in the last pre-war year.
Edward B, Rosa, formerly of the
Bureau of Standards, gave the war
expenditures of the United States
government for 1920 as 92.S3 per
cent of the total expenditures.
According to the report of the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury for 1925, the
expenditures for past wars and pre-
paration for new wars cost the United
States government over 80 per cent
of its total expenditures.
Leads to World Conflict.
The continuation of military inter
vention in China by the imperialists,
will inevitably lead to a great imper.
ialist war.
"The Soviet Union is prepared to
accept the most drastic measures for
the prevention Of war and competition
in ornaments and calls upon the other
powers to do this. The Soviet Union
proposes that the standing armies
be completely abolished. that war in.
dustry be done away with and real
control set up consisting Of represen.
tatives Of the people, Of the workers
Of the trade unions and Of the pea.

BY MARGARET COWL.

According to Professor BOgart
DIRECT and Indirect Costs of the
Great World War;, quoted before a
Senate Committee, the total cost of
the war for all countries, including
the Central Powers, was two hundred
eight billion, four hundred five mill
ion, eight hundred fifty-one thousand,
two hundred and twenty-five dollars
($20S, 405, 1851 ,222). OF this amount
S22, 72,214,125 was advanced to the
allies. This cost includes the ex-
penditure sustained by the United
States which is s22,625, 252 ,S43, plus
advances to allies $9,455, 014,125, a
total of $50 1850, 266, 1858.
It is estimated by Bogart that %
billion dollars is nearly enough to pay
the entire cost of running the United
States government from 1871 up to
the period of the world war These
figures safely substantiate the state
ment that the war cost the United
States considerably more than a mil
lion dollars an hour"
Cost in Human Life.
About 25,0O0,000 men, women and
children were killed in the World
War. Half of these were killed on
the battlefield). Prof. Bogart esti-
mates that there are 10,O04,771
"knowp dead" and that of the $685.
500 reported as prisoners or miss
ing" at least half may be added to
the known dead"
During the nineteenth century,
there were 10000 battle days in nine
wars in which time 4,448,30O men
were killed. The World War in about
500 days killed nearly 100000 on
the battle field.
The Spanish influenza epidemic of
1918, the direct outcome of the war,
killed nearly 100000 people. Over
100000 soldiers in the French and
German armies contracted tubercu-
losis during the war. There are still
hundreds of thousands of ex-soldiers
suffering the effect of trench fever
and shell-shock.
This is the price paid by the peoples
of the world for a "war to end all
wars"
If this was a "war to end all wars
then why did Great Britain send so
warships. America IS and Spain one
warship just recently to China What
are Is battalions, one division and
three brigades and three artillery divi-
sions doing in China today? Why are
the mouths of guns smoking again ?
What business have American troops
to shoot down Chinese men women
and children who are fighting for
liberation? "To protect life and prop
