QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: ]. L. G. asks: Evil,
you please explain how bacteria can
produce disease if the fault is really
as you say caused by our bad habits
Of living?"
Answer: Bacteria are microscopic
fungous growths and are really of
vegetable origin. They grow in
much the same way as yeast cells or
mold. They increase in numbers by
dividing SO that they actually "mul.
tiply by dividing" Bacteria cannot
grow except in suitable soil, and the
person with bad habits provides this
soil usually on some Of the mucous
membranes, such as in the nose and
throat. Bacteria grow rapidly and
often produce poisons Of their own,
some being more violent than 9TH
ers. There are good bacteria and
bad ones, but each must have suit
able soil for growth. Bad habits
cultivate the growth of the injurious
bacteria, while good habits promote
the growth of the friendly bacteria.
Question: Mrs. A. N. writes: "My
husband is troubled with eczema. He
always eats oatmeal for his break
fast, and I have heard that it is bad
for eczema. Should he stop eating
oatmeal :"
Answer: Those troubled with
eczema should avoid all starches and
sugars until the tendency to such
skin eruptions is entirely overcome.
Oatmeal is undoubtedly more irritat-
ing to this class of disorder than are
the other starches.

MANS RELIANCE UPON WATER

MANS RELIANCE UPON WATER
The earliest nations of men orig.
mated in fertile valleys like the Eu-
pirates and the Nile. In lands peri
odically inundated with the waters
Of these rivers, man could rely up.
on his crops Of grain and vegetables.
Civilizations of the past and present
have followed where water was
abundant.
The most uninhabited portions of
the world are those dry and rocky
places where the least water exists
in an available form, such as the
great deserts Of the world-the Sa-
hara of Africa, the Cobb of Mon
golia, and the Mojave and middle
western deserts of the United States.
On these arid lands, parched by the
glazing sun Of countless centuries,
no plants will grow.
The first jelly-like beginnings of
organic life, both vegetable and ami
NAL. came from the sea, and per-
ished whenever they were cast upon
dry land; and from the Palaeozoic
jungles to the present time, organic
life has been changed and controlled
ny the varying balance between the
elements of water and sunlight. Life
had to remain near the shores of
beaches and shadows.
No creature can breathe or digest
its food without water. Water-liv-
ing creatures wave their freely ex-
posed gills by which they extract
their oxygen from the water. Every
plant and animal that escaped from
the sea had to develop tough outer
coat around its breathing apparatus
to retain it's moisture, and the verte-
brate animals developed their lungs
encased within their bodies. Even
the lungs are somewhat on the prin-
ciple Of gills, since the oxygen Of
the air is absorbed by the moisture
of the lungs before it can reach the
blood.
Many of the lower forms Of life
are born and live in water. Some,
such as the amphibians, come forth
and live upon the land. The frog
lays its eggs within the water. The
S6So A0SNH INV t0upOlSSs uc CtSu.
poles develop legs and lungs So that
the frog can live and walk on the
land.
All animals living in sunlight and
air must have protective skin to
regulate and retain their moisture
that they will not dry up.
A higher form of life than the am
phibian. the reptile, has its life be-
ginning in eggs on land, but the egg
is principally water, and is sur.
rounded by q hard shell that pre-.
vents evaporation by preserving the
precious moisture until the egg is
Matched.
The highest form Of life that has
developed on the planet is the nam.
NAL, form where the egg is re.
tanned and protected within the body
of the mother until it has developed
into miniature adult.

Boomboom McWhorter, friend of the
people and champion of their rights
every four years, has thrown him.
self into the presidential campaign
and is busily engaged in organizing
Hoover glee clubs.
Forced to employ his inventive
genius along with his artistic tai
ents the senator has produced a
brand-new set Of Hoover campaign
songs. He explains, himself, that he
found a menacing shortage Of Hoo
Yer songs. He found, in fact, only
one and invariably noticed that as
soon as one of his glee clubs had
sung that one over a half dozen
times, the members began to dribble
away to their homes. On the other
hand, the AL Smith people had a
lot of songs about their candidate
and could string them out for a
whole evening.
There are those at Republican
headquarters who whisper that what
broke up the glee club tests was the
fact that Senator McWhorter al
ways insisted on joining in the sing
ing himself, but there are two
schools of thought concerning the
senator's part in the campaign.
Chairman Work contended that
anything was preferable to having
McWhorter sing for the cause and
that it would be better to have him
speak, since he insisted on lung
work. But Mr.. Hoover decided that
McWhorter's singing would be the
least Of two affections. He reasoned
that no one would ever stick around
while McWhorter was talking, but
that his voice might draw crowds
and that the best interests of the
party demanded the senator be kept
singing.
Nevertheless, there is no denying
that McWhorter's Hoover songs are
as good as any of the Smith
songs and tower above the numer-
Gus songs made up for vice-presi-
Dental candidates at Houston and
