Health and Right Living
BIZ ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. ID.
Former Commissioner Of Health

You cannot imagine that a stream
flowing a long distance through
field and forest could do otherwise
than pick up leaves and twigs. bits
of plants. and all sorts Of rubbish.
More than this. IL dissolves from the
soil tiny paticles or this mineral
and that. 10 picks up traces OF
every soluble substance.
The blood stream does the same
thing. AS Ii flows through the body
II dissolves this and that material.
IL takes up many elements. really
waste substances. no longer OF val
ne TO the tissues. Some Of these
are chemical agents and they NAV
combine in the blood to form new
substances.
II is not well to have the blood
charged with agents which are not
useful and which. indeed. may be-
come harmful. To get rid OF all
such material. Nature planned the
kidneys.
These organs, two in number. have
an important. a vital function 10
perform. 1t Is their duty 10 filter
out Of the blood this waste mate
rial.
In reality the kidney is a wonder
full filter, or rather a bundle Of mi
croscopic filters. They are tiny
tubes, each about an inch long to
take the ashes and clinker away
from the furnaces.
II is amazing how many of these
little tubes there are-about four
million. equally divided between the
kidneys. IL is said that If they
we're Strengthened out and placed
end to end. they would make a pipe
line fully rs miles lonCl
Perhaps 1t is impossible even TO
approximate the quantity or solid
material taken out of the body by
these filters. II is estimated that
an ounce a day. or nearly a ton IN
a long time-time.
Not all the material we take with
Jul food Is actually used by the
body. Some Of il is unsuitable ard
IS rejected as fecal matter. More
OF il Is made use Of and. becoming
worthless, is thrown into the blood
stream.
You can see that the blood y
a double purpose-it carries nour-
ishment to the body and also dis
poses of the wastes. "A river NAV
carry coal barges to supply a great
factory with fuel. Likewise, II car
ries scows. The arrangement Il not
quite so simple as this, but there Is
no occasion to go into a lot Of de-
tail.
The blood must be kept pure. In
must be cleansed Of the waste in or
der that II may be free TO convey 70
the eager cells the food required for
their nourishment and the energy
producing substances to carry on
their work.
The most important OF the waste
substances Is known as urea. This
is carried away with the urine UNI
less something in~terferes with the
kidney function. In that event the
urea accumulates in the blood. pro-

There is ample proof Of his skill as a hunter. The

Washington Letter
By HERBERT c. PLUMArER

WASHINGTON. June 6-This special session of
congress has upset plans that Rep. George Fl. Tink-
ham Of Massachusetts has had for something like two
years.
He was prepared to 60 tiger hunting again this
summer. It has been almost two years now since he
came back from the orient empty handed. 50 far a.
tigers are concerned. Ever since he has been making
plans to try and bag at least one. The king of Abys-
sinia had invited him to come over this summer as
his guest.
But the president called the law makers to Wash
ington. and Mr.. Tinkham had to cancel all Of his
plans. He thinks he will be lucky if he can find time
to slip away to Europe the latter part Of the summer
And his tiger hunt must wait at least until next year.

With all the present discussion
and legislation on farm relief it is
interesting to note the 1871 bIand

which consists mainly of telling
him to go to work and acquire
modern implements for doing his
work instead of struggling along
with the old styles.
"Why don't he do it9o IS the
keynote of the article, infcrring
that the farmer is prone tc talk
about ills that afflict him and does
little himself to remedy them.

found it so difficult TO take the city.
Instead Of attacking at once. the
Babylonians camped around it and
tried to take it by siege. ultimately
conquering it only when the city vas
compelled to surrender for gant of

Probably the city would have

the Babylonians had brought up
their battering rams and siege
equipment. and had managed to
make a breach in the wall.
The Inside Story
The mere course Of military
events in a nations conflict is Of
no great Importance in the study
of the lesson for its spiritual i'm
plications. The whole tragic story
of the kingdom of Israel now fol-
lowed by the tragedy of the fall
and exile of Judah, is one of the
many chapters in the story of the
rise and fall of nations.
1t is instructive for the insight
it gives into the weaknesses and
errors of political and social life. IT
may be said. of course. that those
who have trusted in God and who
have sought to do His will have
suffered in the course Of history
along with the ungodly, that there
has been no protecting providence
guarding the righteous, and that
laws of force operate upon the good
as we'll as the bad. Napoleon Gym
icaIly expressed such a thought
When he said that God is on the
side of the great battalions.
But the careful student OF history
in its spiritual implications knows
that there is something far deeper
than that. He sees how the suffer
ings of the righteous are as seed
yielding the harvest of better condl-
tons. that through sacrifice is the
law of progress. and he makes q
very real distinction between sui
fering for conscience sake and or
behalf of truth and progress, and
the sordid overwhelming defeat that
comes to those whose greed and sell
fshness and lust of power are self
destructive.
Even in exile one can see how
Judah became a world power, not ii
the outward sense of military
strength. but in the reality with
which through her prophets JUDAH
gave a, new idealism and a new
guidance to nations that is before
the world even today as a guiding
star

Movieton sll-tslking melodrama, the

innovations the picture embraces.
The story. by Milton E. Chopper

sensational murder trial. Harvey
Manning is charged with the kill
ing of Jack Winfield. who had been
his best friend. Manning's wife
Viola is alleged to have supplied
the motive for the crime, and Man
ming is enmeshed in strong web
of circumstances.
AS the trial progresses three diff
ferent versions of the murder are
enacted-frst, as it is depicted by
the prosecutor, then as it is por-
trayed by the attorneys for the de-
Tense. and finally as it really oc-
CURED. This unique treatment Of
the trial adds to the battling nature
of the plot. serves to heighten the
dramatic tension, and makes all the
more surprising the thrilling de-
nouement which provides the pic
ture with its smashing climax.
