Faith Justified

Out at Orchard Lake Farms near Kentland,
former Governor McCray on Wednesday handed to
group Of guests checks for their first years interest
on sums loaned to him to enable him TO regain
uossession of the great farm lands which were
his and where he gained his world reputation as the
greatest breeder Of Hereford cattle.
The vast acres which had been sterile during the
time that the Governor was away had again become
fruitful.
great start had been made to replace the herds
which were once the admiration and the pride Of all
cattle lovers.
Prosperity had returned with the return of the
man who loved the land and understood its mysteries,
its possibilities and its uses.
That is the material side Of happy picture. No
doubt was left to the ability Of Warren McCray to
stage that almost impossible thng-a comeback after
diversity and trouble and disgrace.
The gathering was the first anniversary Of the
taking back Of these famous farms And in year
great miracle had been performed, miracle OF falth
a miracle Of restoration, miracle Of rehabilitation.
It was expressed in the smile of the former execu-
tive in his glow of health and most of all in the spirit
which enabled him to face life and face it bravely
It required the same courage to grappe with this
material problem that it took to refuse the bride of
liberty and money when the clouds gathered and when
the man who was destined to follow him in high office
came with the temptation that was backed by the
power of the two great political figures OF the hour.
It was the revelation Of that courageous stand for
righteousness that renewed the faith of the group OF
men who staked their dollars on Warren McCray
and enabled him to return to the farms which had
missed their master.
Governor NIcCray paid for his mistakes. he Is
NOW rewarded for his good deeds. For he has the
faith OF all men who know him. He has justified
their faith.
There are men in this state who they read these
lines must wonder whether it were better to obtain
Office through brides and rickery whether 1t pays TO
Mead the statute of limitations and suffer oblivion.
There are some who must think, if they dare to
think that they would rather have the clasp OF sin
cere friendship which is extended to McCray' than
their own liberty and public contempt
To have faith and confidence of ones fellows to
he 1,sefu1-there is something worth while
Bat to know in ones heart that the faith is ust-
fed is even more worth while.

carbon dioxide of the air, requires sunlight This al
ready has been discussed detail But also requires
water. For the carbohydrates are manufactured by
causing chemical combination to take place between
carbon dioxide and water.
Water therefore. is one Of the necessary ingredi-
ents of photosynthess.
But water is also necessary for another reason in
photosyntheSis.
1t will be remembered that the process is carried
on in the cells of the esophyu the interior OF the
leaf
The carbon dioxide enters through the pores sto
ata Of the outer covering epdernlis of the leaves
and then circuates through the air spaces in the
mesophyl.
The carbon doxide is not able TO penetrate the
walls of the cells in the esophyll when they dry
They have to be wet before they permeabe to the
carbon dioXide.
It will be seen therefore that there two reasons
why water must be present for photosynthess.
Within the cells there many little bubbles called
vacuoles These bubbles filed with sap and con-
tain many chemical substances such sugars and
mineral salts.
The sap of course is chiefly water. During the life
of the cell there necessary interchange of material
between the body of the cell and these vacuoles
Here is another item in the Importance OF water to
the life of the cell.

Greed Sunk the Vestris

When the British steamer Vestris sank last Novem-
Der with the loss of 112 lives, most of them women and
children. the ship owners blamed the weather, the
creu, and about everything and everybody except
themselves.
It was clear, however, that company greed chiefly
was responsible.
The shin was overloaded. The ship was unsea-
worthy The captain had company orders encouraging
him to delay sending an o s-which would mean
salvage expense.
These facts. first established by the press, later
we're substantated by the two official American in
quiries.
They now are finally confirmed by the longer ana
fuller investigation and report of the British Board OF
Trade.
The only way to protect the public and crews from
the unnecessary dangers resulting from ship owners
lust for big profits is by sricter laws and actual en-
forcement of those laws.
Among the most tragic might-have-beens IN this
case is the fact that the Vestris in her condition
would not have been permitted to sail from Brit
ish mort But American regulations were complied
with That shows how much American ship safety
regulations are worth
This is a national disgrace and an international
r,enace. Congress as soon as it meets should pass
the Wagner Hesitation, Incorporating recommended
tions If the recent international conference on sea
safety and provide for rigid inspection and enforce
rlent Of the new law.

at the thought Of a full half CEN

Economics of Cornell University, and
Mary Henry, professor of nutrition
in the same institution, listed some
Uine ago a foundation diet which
will ensure the most desirable
amounts of building materials and
regulators in the diets of adults.
A certain foundation diet should
include one and One-half to two cups
of milk a day, but not more than
one quart. A small amount of po-
tato may be taken once each day.
Two generous servings of succulent
vegetables a day are necessary and
one of them should be leafy vege-
table
Several times a week raw
vegetables must be taken to insure
vitamins, because far too frequent
ly vitamins are lost in cooking. Two
servings of fruit a day are desirable,
and one of them should be oranges
or grapefruit. Tomatoes may be
substituted for these fruits, because
the tomato provides few Galleries
and is rich in vitaninS.
One serving of meat a day and
one egg day will provide proteins
or body building materials, some
vitamins, mineral salts, and to-
gether about three hundred Galleries.

What Would You Do in a Case Like This?

The writer went to the customs Office and asked

Customs officials furnished q comfortable chair

country Just distressing it must be to Indians

Some Foods Essential in All Diets

Cereals and bread help to bring up
the quota of body building sub
stances.
In addition to these things one
should drink from six to eight
glasses of water each day and he
will find himself carrying on rather
satisfactorily. On this diet, if the
proper limited amounts of food are
taken, one can reduce about two
pounds per week.
A reducing diet is one in which
the daily amount of food or fuel
taken into the body is reduced so
that it is enough to keep the body
running, but not enough to support
extra work. When the person
works the body uses up its own
fat to supply the extra demand
for energy.
The eighteen-day diet that has
been cited is well under one thou
sand Galleries a day which are too
few for the proper maintenance of
your health, except possibly in very
rare instances.
It's only safety over the faddish
diets of the past like hard-boiled
egg and lettuce diet, lamb chop diet,
pineapple diet, and similar notions,
is it's attempt to provide vitamins
and salts and roughage.

Slow Pictures

TITO be sure, both Ford and Rookie
Il Teller have claims to fame aside
from the mere fact Of maturing
years. Mr.. Voorhis, so far as 7 can
gather, gets headline type chiefly
because he is ancient. Living to be
100 is a good trick, but tedious.
When you've seen one centUrian
you've seen them all.
Not much Of wisdom comes from
these men who have been long in
the world and their memories boil
down to some anecdote about gath
ering cabbages where the Grand
Central station now stands. Beyond
the city's encroachment into the
vacant lots and far beyond they give
us little which is vivid. In my
youth I was taken for a long trolley
ride to see a man who had once met
Abraham Lincoln. The old man told
me that Lincoln was very tall, but
that was all he had to contribute.
Still, it is not wise for me to be
captious about any who look back
upon past events for it is my in
tention to write a book called Fifty
Years of Column Conducting when
the proper time arrives.

TTENRY FORD has just touched

H. I. Phillips who spread the rumor
that when Rockefeller crosses par
he will be split four for one. But
on the whole, it seems to me that
too much value is set upon lon
gevity.

why applause should go to an in
dividual for doing the same thing
over and over again. According to
the newspapers, Mr.. Ford went
through his usual routine Of work
and Mr.. Voorhis at 100 turned up at
his Office upon schedule. Any Of

worthy of honor if he made each
milestone a cross-road and darted
off in some brand new direction.

Seminole Independence

EOR one hundred years and more,
L the United States government
has been trying to corral the
Seminole Indians in order to put
them on reservation.
Just why, no one seems TO know.
The idea that we ought to do
something for the Indians is all
right, but the idea that we can only
do it by herding them like sheep,
has its disadvantages.
At all events, the Seminoles are
not willing to be corralled.
Hidden away in the Businesses of
the Florida everglades, they success
fully have defled the government.

OLD IRONSIDES SAILS
Aug. 2

ONE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN
~ years ago today, on Aug. 2,
1912, the Constitution, most famous
vessel in the history of the United
States navy, sailed from Boston on
her famous cruise.
The forty-fourgun frigate was
popularity known as Old 1ronsides
from the hardness of her plank1ng
and timbers.
Cruising near Cape Race, Aug,
10, 1912, after leaving Boston, the
Constitution fought the famous
battle with the Guerrero, a some
what weaker British frigate, which
she left a total wreck after a thirty
minute engagement, the English
losing seventy-nine of their crew
and the Americans fourteen.
In another battle, on Dec. % OF
that year, the Constitution captured
the Java, after two hours Of fight
ing in which 300 BritisherS and
thirty-four Americans lost their
lives.
On Feb. Il, 1914, she took the
frigate Picton and a convoy in the
West Indies. And on Feb. 20, the
following year, she captured the
Cyane and the Gevant, between the
Madeiras and Gibraltar. after a
fierce engagement, remarkable for
the seamanship Of the Americans
and the gallantry Of the English.
Soon after. the Constitution was
pursued by British squadron
which recaptured the Levant.
Reported unseaworthy between
1928 and 1880, the Constitution was
ordered dismantaled, but was re-
tanned in Difference to popular SEN
timent aroused by Holmes poem,
"Old Ironsides."

Bank FaiIureS

CEVEN hundred and six banking
~ institutions have been eliminat-
ed since the first of the year-372
through failure, and 1874 through
merger and consolidation.
In spite Of some spectacular sus-
pensions, failure has not claimed as
many victims as in some previous
years, but consolidation obviously is
gaining ground.
The indications are that we shall
have fewer and larger banks.
To Offset the 706 that have ceased
to exist only 1913 new banks have
been chartered.

India"
We don't any point in the suppression of
Uncle Sham" in this country. If could suppress
it in India some good might result. But Americans
would only laugh at ~'Uncle Sham;" they wouldn't
get even a staggering thrill out of it.
Maybe it would help too, to suppress Mother
India" in the interests Of better feeling between
selves and the Indians-suppress it in this country
The governments position is rather ridiculous.
If Mr.. Lal Gauba had offered a sociological survey
of his country, instead Of ours, as his answer
to Mother India" no doubt the book would have
been seized just the same. For it would have con-
tanned the words that the government chooses to
call obscene.
We could protest that because it would be de-
priving Americans Of real enlightenment
AS it is, we can get along beautifully without
Uncle Sham"
Still we do resent the seizure We hate to have
books selected for us by anybody else least OF
all public official appointed a tariff expert and
not as a connoiseur Of literature. And we wouldn't
feel any better about it if we carried the matter up
to Secretary Mellon.
We've managed all these years to choose our
reading matter without Uncle Andys assistance and
we don't want to start leaning on him now.

DUT if Pomeroy has lost contact
D with the outside world, the out

him.
Publicity knows no barriers. In
spite of his close imprisonment, he
has succeeded in making the front

He has even fought and won a
libel suit, getting his dollar in costs"
on the ground that he was falsely

Grave DiggerS' Strike

THE grave diggers of a New York
1 cemetery go on strike.
They not only demand 81 a day
instead of SIS but recognition of
their union.
The incident IS startling, not so
much because of the issue involved,
as because very few people realize
that grave diggers have become
numerous enough to form a union.
In fact few people realize how
fast our cities of the dead are grow
ing, how enormous they have be-
come and how steadily they will
continue to grow in the future.
Given time, and the cities Of the
dead are sure to outnumber the
the cities of the living which they
surround.
