Souring Wild Oats

10 "sow wild cats" means to
eommit youthful excuses, to spend
oue's youth in dissipation. Subse-
ouent reform is usually implied.
The expression, it is supposed,
originated among the country peo-
ule Of England. The wild oats-a
ill grass resembling the cultivated
oat and by some supposed to be It's
original progenitor-is common
weed In grain fields. 1t was nat
ural that q weed so common and
obnoxious should become he sub
'ject Of comparison among the Eng
fish farmers. At first sowing wild
oats meant sowing worthless seed
or seed which would produce a
worthless crop. The transition to
the fguratiye meaning was easy.
BE who westes the precious days
Of his youthful prime in dissipation
Is sowing seeds which will crow
up into obnoxious weeds. Path

THE BEST GOVERNMENT

Few persons felt anything but disgust on reading
the public statement Of Richard F. Cleveland, son Of
the former Democratic president that 1.-THE American
forefathers deliberately chose form Of government
which has resulted in the most inefficient government
in the w>xld-.< Many, who are probably ~ well in
formed on relative governmental costs Mr.. Cleveland
will seriously challenge both the charge that the fore
fathers deliberately" adopted inefficient govern
ment and the second allegation that this is the "most
inefficient government in the world"
There have been efficient governments than
that Of the United States and there have been many
far less efficient but few, il any have been so easy for
the individual to live under Governments are no
better than the people creating them and until there is
perfect society there be perfect government.
There have been nations which have been compelled to
ret along the best they could with the form Of
ent given them. but the situation here is where
the system Of government must get along the best
IL can with the imperfect citizen given.
It is the fault Of the people and not Of the form Of
government that--as Mr.. Cleveland says-the voters
sometimes by civic indifference lack Of civic
responsibility place the incompetent and INSCRIPTIONS
IA public office.
Close students Of the political history past and
rent of the United States convinced that the apt
tude for selfgovernment Of the masses is steadily i'm
proving, with resultant increase in the efficiency
and benevolence Of the government.

HOLIDAYS


After his country and his family the thing that is
dearest to the heart Of the European is his holiday
This he will have, though the heavens fall. He may
surrender every other luxury before he will give up
the days in the week. year which he has set
aside for his leisure and enjoyment.
Weekend vacations of from two to three and one
half days, vacations ranging from two to four weeks
at Christmas Easter and midsummer are religously
observed by the upper and middle class Brshers and
the weto-do in the continental countries indulge in
correspondngly long and frequent leaves Of absence.
With just great regularity and assistance those IN
poor or moderate circumstances observe every bank
political and religious holiday and they have not been
sparing with them.
It is apparent that the holiday and vacation are not
such sacred institutions in this country. They are
observed here but not generally in Europe. Even
Christmas and independence Day not universally
observed in the United States dozen dates"
beyond the Atlantic In this respect probably the only
way in which this country excels Europe is in its
devotion of Sunday to religious worship but here
there Is far less Sabbath observance today than in
~.ths more puritanical past
However, the two-weeks' summer vacation is more

than in any other. Very often it is with pay" but

sonalities in which Smiths expe-
rience will count.
Hoover is undoubtedly pretty
sore. He preferred q more conven-
tional campaign in which the can
didates would be on 3 high plane.
But now, judging from his known
character, he would like nothing
better than to blow Smith out Of
the water. His managers and ad-
visers probably won't let him try.
They will make him concentrate
belligcrently on the tariff and pros
perity.
Smith, Of course, is playing the
old game that 80 often won him the
governorship Of New York. The
situation was 50 patiently made ia
order for him and his position was
90 obviously that of the attacker
that no one should have been sur.
prised.

SCIENCE MARCHES ONWARD

At Columbia University, New York, the staff Of
scientists experimenting with an X-ray machine
which is capable Of making transparent mans hane
block away, though thick brick wall intervene.
The machine fills two rooms the walls Of which are
insulated with lead. No human being thus far has
come under its rays, but extensive experiments have
been made with animals The machine is the first of
its kind to register and control thy intensity of its
rays. = is expected that treatments Of human pa
tiens, when full control of the mechanism is perfected
will consume virtually the amount of time, vary
ing only in the degree Of intensity. At present the
time element enters in important measure into X-ray
treatments.
Such inventions as this giant machine more than
ever emphasize the fact that men are increasingly
learning to put into halter and harness the great forces
Of the universe. The of the telescope with which
to view distant objects, was unknown 400 years ago
This great xray apparatus has difficulty in reveal
ing the most intricate details Of objects at hand
even though other opaque matter intervene.
Who shall say that it will not be given to man tc
explore some day into the the other side
of the moon?

sELF.POIsONINC

Anyone suffering from autointox-
icatiok (self-poisoning) will feel
times of great depression and tired
ness; he will have . poor circula-
ton, and unhealthy appearance Of
the skin, a coated tongue, bad
breath, and perhaps sometimes fits
of melancholia or headaches.
In many instances l have exam
ined patients who had previously
been through exhaustive tests and
diagnostic procedures without any
disease having been discovered. l
usually find that these patients are
suffering from some perfectly defin-
tie toxic condition from lack OF
proper elimination.
The body is continually absorb.
ing food and discharging waste ma
teriAls. When these waste products
accumulate more rapidly than the
elimirative organs can dispel them,
q dangerous toxemia or blood pois-
oning must result. If any one Of the
eliminating organs is not working
properly, it may cause . similar
type of blood poisoning. For in
stance, If the liver is continually
overworked manufacturing bile, it
may have difficulty in destroying
the toxins which it ordinarily re-
moves from the blood.
Sometimes drugs that are taken
for the relief of symptoms, such %
excessive perspiration, will interfere
with the normal discharge of toxins
from the body and produce this type
of trouble. Autointoxication is also
frequently brought on by allowing
the body to become overly tired so
that there is not enough nerve
energy remaining to properly slim
ulate the organs Of elimination.
The poisoning from fecal material
that has been retained too long is
really not included in the term
"autointoxication" since the inter-
ior Of the colon must really be con-
sidered outside of the body. / have
explained this type Of poisoning in
my article on constipation, which /
will be very glad to send to any one
interested who will write to me in
care Of this newspaper, and enclose
= large, self-addressed, stamped
envelope.
Plenty of sleep is necessary to re-
build the strength of the nervous
system, and it is advisable to use
vigorous exercises, accompanied by
deep breathing, in order to stir up
and dislodge the toxins that have
accumulated in the body. The skin
may be stimulated by cold shower
baths which should be used twice
daily and followed by vigorous fric-
ton rubs. An acid fruit fast OF
from five days to two weeks should
be employed and followed by we'll
balanced menu as outlined weekly in
my newspaper articles. Warm enc.
mas Of one quart Of plain water
should be used morning and evening
for the first two or three months ia
