Almost nine YeArs have passed

the ploughing this spring, more than
800 shells Of all calibers up to . six

with hundreds Of unexploded hand

A Real Comeback"

The story Of Clarence Saunders and the "comc-
back he recently staged, is inspiring one in
deed. Two years ago he was a bankrupt with
business and home gone; with. court injunction
against him for starting new business; indicted
for misuse Of the mails in the sale Of .Piggly-
Wiggly corporation stock (of which he had been
hcad); former money friends turned into enemies;
salary attached-and, with $4,000 scraped from the
pockets of few faithful friends, he started another
business and has paid back to the Piggy Wiggly
corporation 1901 900 and has additional assets Of
100000.
Mr.. Saunders comeback may have been due to
some luck, but in the main it is quite certain that
the spirit of success was the motivating force.
Mr.. Saunders, confronted by failure and disgrace,
did not contemplate suicide, he tells US, but he
found himself challenged by fate that aroused all
his fighting spirit.
There is lesson for all of in Mr.. Saunders

motion. But, actually, just how despotic is it?
Just why must the United States be considered a

the world believe, indirectly at least. that the
American Intervention in Nicaragua was undertaken
merely for someone's ACKNOWLEDGEMENT That is a
charge which has been made before. Viewed in the
light of what America has done in Nicaragua, it
loses weight.

been restored, temporarily at least, to peace. A
wise and humane effort has been made to see that

Smoke tuberculosis

The rather unique idea is advanced that smoke
has great effect upon health contributing largely
to tuberculosis and exhaustive study and expert
mcntation to determine the degree to which this is
true is to be urged that complete data the sub
ject may be obtained.
Anti-smoke laws are really inadequate to cope
with the situation, for they embrace only part Of
the air pollution evil which is greatly menacing
the public health today. It is proposed to make
Pittsburgh, the "smoky city," the subject for this
investigation, since the large quantity of smoke
pervading the atmosphere there would provide
ideal conditions for determining its effect upon the
health, especially far the possibility of tu-
berculosis Is concerned
It is to be doubted that the smoke has any d.
rect bearing on tuberculosis, but in itself it pro-
duces condition o. the lungs that makes them an
easy. prey to thegattack Of Tuberculosis.
II would seem much more credible chat pneu-

some simple rules to be followed by
every diabetic in order to resist the
complications which may be the final
factors in bringing about death.
These are.
/. 1t is important to avoid un-
due exertion, either physical or
mental. The latter is probably even
more important than the former. A
moderate amount of regular physi-
cal exercise is beneficial, but to what
extent it may be INDUCED should
be left to the decision of the medical
attendant. 4.
2. Special att attention, '' must be paid
to the teeth, and regular visits should
be made to the dental surgeon,
Should any abcess be discovered
the teeth affected must be extracted
The reason for this somewhat dras-
tic action is that poisons are alb
sorbed into the blood is an abcess is
present, and these affect the pan.
creas.
.. Inc OlaDetlc should pay par.
ticular attention to the feet: they
should be washed daily, carefully
dried, and sprinkled with boracic
powder. Shoes must be large and
not construct the toes. Neglect OF
these precautions may lead ia
gangrene Of the toes, condition
which often ends fatally.
4. Be careful to avoid constipa.
ton. The diabetic diet, with its
high proportion of per cent vege-
tables, us in itself usually one which
will tend to lead to regular action

5. Diabetes are more liable to in.
fections such as influenza than nor.
NAL people, and the results Of such
infections are far more serious II
diabetes. In consequence it is wise
in the presence Of an epidemic Ia
avoid places such as theatres
churches, ETC., where the disease is
likely to be contracted.
Whenever. a diabetic feels ill from,
any cause he should at once get n
touch with his doctor. It is prudent
to- avoid patent medicines, as mot

Gas.burning Diriqible

The Germans experimenting just now with
a most interesting ghter-than-air ship. 1t burns
gas, marsh gas, which is carburetted hydrogen.
Much lighter and more efficient than gasoline or
benzol the gas draws its greatest advantage from
the fact that when it expodes in the engine cylir-
ders one of the products is water vapor, which is
condensed in the exhaust and used to replensh the
cooling systems and the water ballast. The ex-
haust water will make up for the loss in weight of
the gas used for fuel purposes and thus make un-
necessary the valving Of hydrogen.
But what Of the safety element? Marsh gas is
highly explosive. So is the hydrogen in the gas
bag. Is all this efficiency" worth the added acct
dent risk?

Ought There to Be a Law?

Governor Richie Of Maryland says that "law-
mad" era is upon the American people today
Much of our present zeal for passing laws on every
occasion is due mainly to the average persons in
difference and apathy, he says and points out that
code has resulted in an orgy Of, law-passing. We
face real menace in this problem, the executive
believes.
.- Here is what he has to say:
IF crops fail, If prices go too high or too low,
if men gamble, if art literature becomes indeli-
cate, if drama offends-put 1t up to the govern
ment What do few more officials matter
when already have standing army of them
~. 1t has gone too far, and face a real
public menace"
Although it is doubtful if the present tendency
to- pass laws whenever the opportunity offers is a
menace" it is none the less true that we are
nearing state when many laws instead Of stand.
ing tenets for the people to follow, will become
merely things to be ignored Governor SorlA
pointed this out in his message to the legislature,
when he urged that for every bill passed, one OBJ
soete law be killed. "There ought to be law
