LUXURY AND LOVE
Trihullel

TCTCdSU 1IIUUIItT
Diamonds in this land of stern and rockbound Pilgrim
fathers arc valued at $4,000, 600, 600, says an insurance
company, and the number of diamonds, If not Of Pill
grim fathers, increases every year. With some $40 worth
of the bright crockery that women love for each average
citizen, this plain and muscular nation of the west glis-
tens fairly well in comparison with the decorative peoples
OF Europe and the cast. We are a plain people, no doubt.
with tall thoughts and great actions, but no other nation
has SO much diamond per capita.
In an era of women, as seers and prophets say, the
great diamond consumption in America would seem to
be appropriate, and with girls now enjoying the luxury
of successive and concurrent engagements, where once
they we're content with one, the market for engagement
rings booms and bulls to highl levels. In her trophy room
the American girl can show %glittering assemblages OF
rings. pins, and other emblems still to be returned. and
the health and prosperity of the diamond merchants do
not suffer from her negligence. Love has a higher turn
over than it orce had. It is more expensive. Though
much of it. no doubt, is expressed eventually in a few
million dollars worth of rocks, there are margins over.
Luxury and love are booming in America. Bagdad could
Go no better.

or AlENE SUMMED

Hear the pathetic tale Of Madame
Bcrthclet Jaubert and her poor
daughter Marie who. left a fortune
of some twelve million dollars a few
days ago, broke into loud wailing and
moaning and a prayer that life might
be as it vas before they we're rich.
This legacy was the very last straw,
for it seems that their woes began
about a year ago when another trag-
ically rich relative left them a for
tune of some $4,000, 900. Maybe it
vas francs. but anyway the sum total
Is a right smart sum.
So here they are, two harmless SIM
pie women, burdened with a fortune
of S22, 000, 900, and complaining that
life can never again be the same.
They tell Of the thousands Of beg
ging letters they receive, of the de-
mands made upon their time by real
estate men wanting to sell them VIM
ter and summer homes, by people
wanting to sell them. yachts and
champagne and jewels and automo-
biles.
Life has become an intolerable
burden, they complain. almost curs-
ing the relatives who left them the
white elephants of the two fortunes.

1T ISN'T UNUSUAL
Now this reaction is quite in ac-
cordance with tradition. We have a
popular belief that wealth means I'M
happiness. We love our platitudes to
the effect that the rich man is the
man of many troubles, and that the
simple cottager who goes to his hum
bic cot at night. to his brown loaf
and drink of cold water from the old
oaken bucket, is the man to be envied
of all others.
We say that the man who must
work for his daily bread docs not
know how fortunate he is till that
necessity is snatched from him.
Now there is no little truth in all
these bromidcs. But the real truth is
that we have formulated these
phrases largely as "booby prizes; to
console us for U wi humble estates.
For that many a rich man is as
happy as a poor man is as true as
our formula that poverty, or at least
comparative poverty, meal peace
and happiness.
There is no denial, either, that to
be happy with wealth calls for as
much manhood or womanhood as to
be happy in poverty.

A T IN TIME

What would you think OF q busi-
ness mar who refused to have his
business checked over occasionally, or
the automobile owner who refused to
have his automobile checked over, or
oiled, until it developed q pronounced
creaking or knocking? You would
undoubtedly regard either Of these In
dividuals as being extremely care
less.
I have had thousands Of individuals
inquire of me, either in my practice
or by mail, as to some method they
can employ for curing themselves, or
be cured, of the diseases from which
they r suffering. But 1t Is q most
unusual thing for any person to ever
inquire as to the best means of MAIN
tanning health and preventing dis
ease. Human beings are so careful
with most Of their possessions, but
are apt to be very careless when 1t
comes to their own health, the most
precious possession of all.
It is undoubtedly true that many
of the most serious diseases may de-
velop to an incurable degree without
great pain or suffering. The dentist,
by filling q small cavity, may pre-
vent the decay of the entire tooth.
May not the same rule hold good with
the rest Of the body? If a particular
organ shows indication Of overwork,
why wait until it has been partly de-
stroyed before reforming your habits?
II you knew that your liver, kidneys,
or lungs showed indications of weak
ness or of congestion, you could then
take the necessary neans of restoring
them to their normal functions. But
II you are unaware that anything Is
wrong with them. you are apt to con.
tinue with the same destructive
habits which were responsible for
their deterioration.
Would it not be a good plan for US
to occasionally have body mech
anism checked over to determine de-
ficiencies? There will undoubtedly
come a time when every human be-
ing will have himself examined once
or twice yearly, not only as a check.
up on his health, but as a stimulation
toward better health.
I know that many people are afraid
to consult doctors for fear they will
advise operation, but this attitude of
mind is certainly foolish. Ignorance
is not a safeguard. I cannot give &C
curate advice to those writing in
about symptoms alone, but II q doc
tors report is included with the name
of the disease or diseases from which
the patient is suffering, it is then
easy for me to send articles or advice
based upon the inquirer's needs.
It is not unusual for invalids to
live to q much ripper age than q
healthy individual. This is because
they realize their own limitations and
take the best Of care of themselves.
Deaths from heart disease are not
nearly as frequent as they were at
one time, simply because doctors can
recognize heart disease in its early
stages and warn the patient against
extreme exertion; and tuberculosis Is
actually decreasing in severity be-

THE WORKER PRODUCES MORE

One OF the chief reasons for this countrys present high
state OF prosperity is given in the May issue Of the Out
line Of Business. a publication issued by the Central Ma
tional Bank OF Cleveland.
This shows the average American worker, i'll 1923, pro-
duced goods worth $75O8.
In 1914 the average stood at S3445 per worker. During
the years since then it has risen steadily, due partly to
the introduction of labor-saving machinery and the de-
y~clopnacnt Of improved production methods and partly
to greater efficiency on the part OF the workers them
selves.
This great increase in productivity per worker speaks
volumes about the health Of American industry.

Therefore, my own reaction to the
blcat and walls of Madame Berthelot
Jaubert and her daughter Marie is
not ono of pity and respect for their
philosophical choice of poverty rather
than wealth, but a bit of disdain that
they were not ready for their
wealth, and have no u within
them which will enable them to use
it wisely and happily.

IT'S A WEAKNESS
After all. the inability to stand
money symbolizes constitutional fault
as much as the physical inability to
endure food or sunlight or air.
Our civilization has been advanced
as much by men and women of wealth
who made that wealth their job as by
scientists consecrating their lives to
laboratory test tubes in order that
other human beings might live longer
and more happily.
Complaint at wealth is an admis-
sion of personal i%nadequacy and
wasted use of previous years. To be
sure, we must grant that poverty

personality ready for bigger things.
But II these two women have aver

might better devote their energies to
using their wealth wisely and USE

ing that things can't go on as they
always have.

We do like clinging to our tradition
that we are happiest in poverty. just

GRANTS

Few presidential candidates in the
history of any political party have
been more certain of election than
the man nominated for his first term
by the Republicans 81 years ago to-
day-General U, S. Grant.
The country was in the mood to
elect a military hero and in addi-
ton to this, Grant was helped by the
fact that he had been a Democrat
until a short time before the nomi-
mating convention. when he quarreled
over a minor matter with Democratic
President johnson.

grain varieties, developed and re-

pertinent Station, at a meeting in
the community room of the Stearns
county courthouse at St. Cloud, at

these new seed stocks and ex-
plain in detail the Minnesota plan
of seed distribution. Anyone in
terested may attend.
The varieties to be distributed
include Glabron barley, a smooth
awned, high yielding, stiff-strawed
variety, and Anthony oats, high
yielding, rust resistant variety.
These are new productions which
have made good throughout Min

tribution provides for the release
of seed stocks TO approved or "se-
lected" growers in whose hands
they are to be multiplied for two or
three years previous to general dis
tribution. Fields must be free from
noxious weeds and the seed produc-
ed will be certified by the Mime
sofa Crop Improvement association.
All fields will be inspected before
harvest.
The Minnesota Experiment Sta
ton is cooperating with the Min
nesota Crop Improvement associa-
ton and the agricultural extension
service in distributing these seeds.
According to Mr.. Grim, the de-
mand for them has been very keen
and far exceeds the supply, but
the aim of the station is to re-
lease the stocks in such a way as
to insure the maximum increase in
the shortest possible time.
