HOUDINrS MESSAGES"

: It would be very odd II Harry Houdni, who spent
good share of restless life fighting the theory that
1.-THE dead could return and speak to the living should
now be- trying himself to send word from beyond the
grave to his widow.
Mrs. Houdin believes that New York medium has
given her an authentic code message from the great
1agican And while close friends Of Houdin are
still openly skeptca about 1t, seeming fake. Mrs
Ioudni seems to be persuaded that the message was
genuine.
During hts lifetime Houdini demonstrated beyond a
doubt that great many mediums are fakes Yet, OBJ
vio,sly that necessarily that ghosts can
not that those who have passed cannot speak,
II the spiritualists wise they would ruthessly
put such takers out of business themselves For while
every living man has loved beyond the grave,
with whom he would give all he has to speak, there is no
denying that most people more or less actively hos
Tile to spruaiism. We long to communicate with those
whom have lost but the thimble rigging hocs-
81 darkened parors cheap streets. tnkling bells ig
norant mediums and nonsensical controls disgust
We feel that II loved ones wanted to speak to us
hey would not be bound by such cheap clap-trap
Yet too facile skepticism is as bad over creduty
Just as in Hamlets day, there things in heaven
and earth than philosophy dreams Of To doubt
hese messages from the dead because Of the odor of
fraud which clngs about the average medium is one
hing; to doubt them because Of cocksure assumption

It is this second attitude which too many Of adopt.
Perhaps that reason 1t would be good thing for
It could be definitely proved 1t can't In the nature
81 thngs-that the message Mrs. Houdin received came
from Harry Houdini It might jar out Of COM
pacent self-sufficency.
In spite Of all our modern science-in spite of our
healthy preoccupation with things that be and
handled and built up torn down at willwe still are
ypped by the necessity Of finding satisfactory answer
the old question that put in Judea 20 centuries
Ago. II die shall he live again? It is still true
hat this is kind Of universe If the to that
question be Yes and another kind ii the be No
We shall always hunger after that answer; and we
shall always know In the bottom Of hearts, that

This business Of Houdini's code message may mean
lothing at all It may be only clever swindle But,

THE DISCORDANT NOTE

Anyone who follows closely the debates in congress
important questions must be impressed by the broad
;rasp Of the subject under discussion shown by
= members When z revenue bill. for instance is up
consideration In the house Of representatives those hav
opg the program in charge display command of prin-
iples which cannot but excite admiration the part
NJ the best informed outsider Plausible but superficial
nd unsound suggestions from the floor disposed Of
n terse effective fashion, and there rapid progress
coward passage Of the BILL
Il Is true, Of course. that any student particular
subject who reads every word in the Congressional
pGd In published proceedings Of committee hearings
must swallow immense of heated atmosphere
~ matter how serious the subject there too many
nebers who feel obliged to about it intricate
attern Of empty words turgid flow Of rhetoric indca
i've today Of empty and shallow mind
Yet somehow every important measure finally throws
If its slough Of cheap speechifyng and reaches
sont where further progress is In charge Of the real
eaders coo-headed men, utterly unmoved by the fam
astc antics Of the nosemakers
More the pity therefore, that the proceedings of
congress should be marred. even in Slight way by
buses Of the leavetoprint and extension remarks
1eoicy The Congressional Record prints many so-caed
speeches which never delivered in congress And
he public must pay for printing mailing this irree-
sSant matter.
This Is cheap, petty stuff. i'll becoming great body

Rations legislators for them to waste time aud money in

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Ma.saSe for Broken Hin

has been IN cast 1OI AVAAe s1u1S'
It is very painful"
Answer: The massage, which
should be given while the broken hip
is rnending, is sometimes rather pain
full If 1t is necessary to break down
adhesions, Otherwise, there should
be little discomfort felt and In fact
the treatment usually has quite q
pleasant effect.
Mayonnaise and Arthritis
Question: Mrs. P. d. asks: Can
one have n1ayonnaise on the salad
vegetables mentioned In your cleans
ing diet, and also can anyone with
arthritis have creamed vegetables or
put butter over them when cooked?"
Answer: do not advise the use OF
mayonnaisc on the salad vegetables
while following the cleansing diet.
With arthritis one may use butter
over the vegetables but 1t is better
to avoid cream and milk until the
painful symptoms have subsidized.
Never use flour for thickening the
vegetables.
Normal Temperature
Question: Mrs. F. v. asks: rs
temperature of 80 degrees considered
a fever temperature? I have been
told that 1856 is the average normal
temperature and that person in
good health may have temperature
Of 80 degrees. Is this correct?"
Answer: It is undoubtedly possible
that some people have normal tenn
perature Of SO degrees. However. If
this temperature only comes on from
two to four in the afternoon it may
be a sign of some inflammatory pro-
cess going on in the body.
