Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson

Do you feel that life has been
particularly cruel to you? Are
you carrying some burden which
you're sure no one else can un-
derstand? Then listen to this
story of Kisakotami and Co
tama, the Buddha.
She was only a baby herself
one of India's girl mothers, and
she adored her tiny brown son
with the unreasoning passion of
a child. For a year they played
together in the green walled
garden of her husbands home.
Then, just as he took his first
toddling steps. her baby died.
Heartbroken, poor little KiSago-
tami fled into the streets with
the dead baby claSped in her
arms and wandered from house
to house asking help.
Give me some medicine that
will bring my baby back again"
she cried. But her pitying
neighbors could only shake their
AACnAo d1A Gu4 away.
Then at last someone sent her
to the Buddha-and looking at
her with his wise old eyes he
saw all the terror and ignorance
in her tortured young heart.
So he said, very gently,
'Yes, I will make you medicine,
Kisagotami." Then joyfully
she cried: What herbs will I
bring to you for the medicine,
master?"
"Only some mustard seed" he
answered. But wait" he con-
tinued, for she had turned to go
joyfully upons so simple an
errand, "You must get that
mustard seed from a house
where no son, or husband, or
parent, or slave has died"
So KiSagotami went out
happily, kissing her dead baby,
feeling sure that soon it would
open soft eyes and COO at her
again. For surely, it would be
easy to find such mustard seed.
But when she asked at the
first house; another mother
whose eyes were faded with
weeping, answered. Mustard
seed have I plenty, but no
aonger a son. For thrice have
my arms Graded your dead
burden"
And when she came to the
next house she found that a
father had just breathed his
last. And in the next house
they were still in mourning for
the husband. So it went. In
each house there was an empty
place and Sorrowing hearts.
Slowly the truth dawned On
Kisagotami. She had thought
she was alone in her terrible
grief. But. 10. to every home
such grief had come. That
was what Buddha had sent her
to findl Not mustard seed.

truth cut her heart in two,

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

ny OAS AUuIS HS DlSNH-
At the end of the esophagus
the tube leading from the
throat-comes much dilated
portion Of the general alimen-
tary canal-the stomach.
And the stomach leads into
the small intestine, this into the
large intestine and from there
the waste products of digestion
are expelled.
The stomach is a large sac,
about 13 inches long and about
five inches deep.
1t is situated really we'll un-
der the ribs, most of it on the
left side. It is rather pear
shaped, the length of it run
ming horizontally toward the
right and under the liver.
The entrance to the stomach
from the esophagus is called
the cardiac end. as it is near
the heart. The end to the right.
where it empties into the small
intestine, is called the pylorus.
The pyloric opening of the
stomach is a favorite site for
stomach ulcers. This is spoken
! of as a pyloric ulcer.
Muscle is what the stomach is
made of. and this muscle wall
is lined by mucous membrane.
In the lining mucous mem
branes of the stomach are
packed away many gastric
glands" which secrete tie "gaS-
trio juice"
Gastric juice is clear and acid
in reaction. This acidity is
due to the hydrochloric acid
which it contains. There is as
much as two-tenths per cent
of this acid in normal gastric
juice.
Gastric juice also contains
the digestive secretion known
as "pepsin";; likewise another
important one known as "ren-
nin,"
The inside of the stomach
looks quite dlfterent when at
rest-that is, when the stom-
ach is empty-than when there
is food present and work to do.
When empty the mucous
membrane lining looks pale,
because of construction of the
blood vessels. while the sur
face is scarcely moist. When
food is in the stomach the
color of the wall turns to deep
red and the gastric glands
pour out their secretions freely.
Many persons suffer from an
oversupply of hydrochloric acid,
while others have too little.
Both conditions cause symp-
toms Of indigestion.

Every Schoolboy knows that
he hit upon a great discovery
while in the bath and, forget

rushed out into the street cry
ing "Eurekat" which means, II

ArchimedeS discovered the
principle of the lever. one of
the most powerful of all instru-
nents in engineering, architec-
ture and industry.
He invented pulleys and
windlasses, the water screw,
the endless screw which is
found today in high-powered
motor cars. He invented vari-
Gus hydraulic and compressed
air machines. It has not been
disproved that by means of a
great burning glass he set on

emptorily ordered to get out of

But his genius was perforce

was now one of a great multi
tude. still there came with it
a strange peace. For If this
pain was the common human
lot, she would find courage to
bear it. too.
So little Kisagotami buried
her baby in the forest and went
back to the Buddha and to life
again. Part of her heart would
stay forever buried in that
grave. but, through that Suf-
fering she had at last come
into wisdom and womanhood.
Does a sorrow drag at your
heart? Follow KiSagotami's
trail. Each life you question
will reveal some loss or lack as
grievous. And perhaps in time
wisdom will come to you as it
came to KiSagotami. Then you
will discover two things. The
first is that you are not alone
in your suffering-that you are
only one of very, very many.
And the second and greater
discovery is this: Pain itself is
a part of life. 1t is not an
abnormal infliction-it is not
an accident or blunder on
the part of the Creator. 1t is
a part of life-it is as much
a part of life as happiness.
For we cannot grow unless we
suffer. And only when our
hearts are broken can wisdom
enter into them.

deserted village. But the city is
so large now that Congress hardly
creates more than a ripple on the
surface of local affairs.

the better. If we could furnish

this number could be doubled over
