attracted from the sordid things Of commerce,
in sport and business, to the development of the
race mingled with such indiscriminate origin,
in the honest contest Of tradition.
Life provides this autumn interlude as a
medium of sanity. The lots are filled with mud
died groups. The soccer ball and the ''egg" fly
wantonly into the sidene crowds. The shouts
of happy boys the groan of straining bodies,
the fevered yell Of the enthusiast, these are the
expressions Of the cleansing, Of the renewal
that goes on within every one Of us who shares
the celebration Of youth finding the disciplined
outlet for it's ardors.
Like all such publications Of the spirit, the
time is short and unspeakably rich.

ON BEING FORCED TO LEARN


From the first cry of the new
born infant to the last gasp Of
death, we are constantly engaged in
q struggle to live and be happy.
In moments Of exaltation, we some
times enthuse about the desirability
Of living good life in order to stay
well. However, my experience with
teaching the public, through my pri-
vate practice and also by writing
and lecturing, has convinced me
that one who really believes him.
self perfectly we'll will not make
the slightest effort to remain so.
Those of you who are reading
this article are really only inter-
ested inasmuch as you think you
can find out way to get well
easily and quickly. Do not try to
fool yourselves that this is not so.
NY words will be read with dull
eyes by those who are not suffer.
ing from some physical discomfort
or. who are not afraid Of "shuffling
off this mortal coil"
Only when pain or death is
knocking at the door will the aver
age person be willing to listen to
reason about changing bad habits
to good ones. Of all the letters that
l receive each day from readers of
this column, not one has ever asked
me to point out the way to stay
we'll!
This article is not written as any
sort Of criticism, but simply to point
out to you the fundamental truth
that the only purpose you have in
studying diet is to cure yourself of
pain, or prevent death. Although
I know this to be true, / want to
urge you to begin your diet study
It least a few days before you find
yourself on the banks Of the River
Jordan.
Do not waste time fretting and
strutting your hour upon the stage
of life with a pill bottle in one
hand and an ambulance telephone
number in the other! Start in NOW
making a study of natures laws
while you have yet time to revise
your habits Of life, and learn to
live with more abundant health.

pared special article called "A
Good Curative Diet" setting forth
a suggested diet to- follow. Write
to me care of the Tribune if you
wish to have this sent to you. Make

Nature is not unkind or revenge
full, but if you continue to violate
all reasonable rules of life you must
expect the inevitable consequence in
pain or death.
There is a true science of life for
you to study just as surely as there
are rules Of chemistry; and food
science cannot be learned by intui-
ton or inspiration. There is no
magic you can use which will
change the rules of chemistry that
govern the body.

"Private monopoly of three great
natural resources-water, power,

lions of dollars from consumers

the league.
Dissolution and regulation

Seeking to prove its points, the
league argues, in brief: That cleo

important factor in future national

The Junk Heap of Human Life

In the great army of men at the wheels and
machines of American industry, sixty-three
men fall by the wayside" every day-killed by
accidents that might have been prevented.
In years time the toll of men manned in
shis country, the worlds greatest industrial
producer, mounts to the alarming total of
10000.
Imagine city of 22,995 population, wiped out
o the last man by sudden catastrophe. That
lity is wiped out every year in mishaps mostly
4ue to carelessness, accidents that little
bought or education could have prevented.
Secretary of Labor James ]. Davis, making
lis annual report for 1927, will say:
{ mo other industrial nation produces 50
many goods as we do, and in no other country
Ire 50 many men killed and manned in industry.
We have been so busy speeding up this indus
ar1aI machine of ours that We have turned our
3acks on the price we have been paying for this
IN terms of American workers killed or manned
very day in the course Of their occupation.
{ Whatever it's mechanical wonders, the ma

Two Instructive Addresses

(St Cloud, Mimi, Journal-Press)
Yesterdays meeting of Kiwanis will be re-
membered as one of the notable sessions of
very successful year.
The value of these speeches was that when
one understands the other fellows problems
and sees more clearly it's purpose the higher
regard it has for it.
One of the speakers was the president Of the
Chicago Board of Trade, Hon. John Bunnel, a
clear headed, clean thinking man. The other
was the governor of state that has given
symptoms of some wild paternalistic notions
North Dakota. Gov. Arthur G. Sorlie disabused
the idea that some people may have had of him
las visionary experimentalist. His talk was
businesslike, logical and decidedly reasonable.
He is not of the type that we somehow as
sociate with North Dakota politicians. He is
successful business man, and as such has de-
|cided that the farmers must largely work out
their own salvation, as do the men in other
lines.
He has no false notion regarding legislation.
His plan is for the people of his state to pro-
vide market for their products and by coope-
ration and wise marketing plan, to get fair
price for their products.
He does not believe in governmental price fix
ing. lie also considers the consumers, and only
asks a fair deal for agriculture. He has no
decisions about the McNary- Haugen bill, but
would like to have had it tried out as an expert
ment. II it had proved unavoidable, the farm
ers would have ceased their clamOr for mpos-
sible legislation, the result being season of
sanity.
Mr.. Bunnel for the Boards of Trade demon
strated their service to agriculture as stable
and dependable market. Before the days of
these organizations there was no marketing
plan. The farmer had to sell his products at his
nearest trading point, and was largely at the
mercy Of the traders. There was no uniformity
in price, and it was the open door to the most
unscrupulous speculation.
The Boards of Trade have through expert
ence eliminated their mistakes, put a stop to
corners, which unsettled conditions, and have
now provided admittedly the most scientific
plan OF marketing agricultural products.
He welcomes any constructive criticism, and
1t it promises improvements there would be no
need of appeals to lawmaking bodies, because
it was the aim Of the management to render the
best possible aid to agriculture, on the sound
basis that prosperity of the producers was pros
perity for the whole country.
The Board of Trade is confident that it has
established an organization of benefit to agri-
culture.
The Governor of North Dakota had no quar-
rel with that idea, but proposed his state shall
profit by the general plan Of these Boards, and
provide it's own market for it's exclusive prod
lcts.
Both appreciate that agriculture must have
2 square deal if the country is to continue
prosperous.
The two able addresses gave the Kiwanians
much information, and they will have keener
appreciation Of what each Is trying TO do. Adj
dresses Of this character give Information. and

AS a matter Of fact, there are
only two, the powerful Anti-Saloon
League and the not so powerful
Anti-Cigaret Alliance, to be found
in the local telephone book.
A new one will be found in the
next telephone book, however. This
is the newly organized Anti-Mo-
nopoly League, which proposes to
tighten the burden on the family
pocketbook and upon business in
general by forcing down the prices
Of gasoline and oil, electricity and
anthracite coal.
The leagues program to accom-
plish that happy end is one Of the
most ambitious to appear ON the
legislative horizon since the erst-
while Greek dictator Pangalos un-
dertook to regulate by law the
length of women's skirts.
1t will inject bills into the Sew
cntieth Congress providing for
government ownership and opera

the weapon of monopoly in the oil

The officers are President George

the War Labor Board and one-time
professor of economies and politics
E. Washington and Lee University

Could it be possible that Cherry

resource had been held from use to

tones have had no effect in pre-

Reaching oil, the league points
out that more than half the domes-

report of the Senate Committee on
Manufactures on "High Cost of
Gasoline and other Petroleum Prod
ucts" that through Standard Oil
control Of pipe lines "not only is
the price fixed according to the will
of the Standard group which any
other interest must pay for trans
portation of petroleum, but men,

whether any concern outside their

Finding thft pipe lines-which
have paid as High as a $50 per cent

like to ask if honey is q wholesome
food, and if SO how should it be
used?"

Answer: I do not recommend the
ice treatment in the case Of threat
ened appendicitis. When ice is APP
piled over the appendix area it only
serves to longest the circulation Of
blood and lymph, and tends to local
lie any pus. 1t is wiser to put hot
applications over the entire abdo-
men, which increases the circulation
and encourage absorption Of any
