Today Is the
Anniversary Of
GEORGE FOX'S DEATH

~AA
On Jan. 10, 1891, George Fox. foun-
der Of the Society Of Friends, or
Quakers, died in London.
He started out in life as a shoe
maker. but when convinced that he
was the subject Of q special divine
call, he adopted the career Of an
itinerant religious reformer.
Fox first attracted attention as q
youth Of Is when he arose during
q sermon in q prominent Noting
ham church and rebuked the preach
er for declaring the authorship of
the Scriptures to be the source Of
divine truth. 1T is not the Scrip
tures." cried out Fox. 1T is the
! Spirit of God" For this he was inn
prisoned. He. was subsequently Jailed
several times as a disturber Of the
peace.
His leading doctrines or convictions
were:
/. The futility of learning for the
work of the ministry.
2. The presence Of Christ in the
heart as the elmer light" superseding
all other lights.
3. The necessity Of trying mems
opinions and religions by the Holy
Spirit and not by the Scriptures.

CAUSES OF TUBERCULOSIS

CAUSES OF TUBERCULOSIS
After years Of wasted effort In at
tempting to kill the tubercular germs
in q patient, most physicians to-day
are concentrating upon treating the
patient rather than the disease. Diet,
fresh air and rest are now the treat
.ments recommended by practically
every physician. It Is now known
that tubercular germs are frequently
not found in the patients sputum
until after the disease has progressed
for many months.
Fl IN my own experience in han
ding thousands Of tubercular cases I
I'm sure that there are only three i'm
portant causes: namely, poorly de-
veloped chest, excavation and faulty
diet. When the one who grows up
with q small chest and faulty lung
capacity becomes greatly ~enervated
while eating wrong kinds Of food he
is then easily subject to tuberculosis,
asthma, bronchitis, bronchiectasis or
other disorders If the lungs or
bronchi. He may also be subject to
many other diseases but you can be
sure that the one who eventually de-
velopS tuberculosis has small lungs
and q tight chest. There have been
perhaps y few exceptions in the cases
Of those who have been great athletes
and after having suddenly given up
exercise have fallen into very bad
habits, weakening themselves sud-
denly by late hours, drunkenness and
other designations.
A typical tubercular case is one
where the patients chest has always
been small, then years of wrong eat
ing, late hours, and other enervating
causes weaken the patient until tu-
berculosis gradually develops. In
many cases, an acute disease such as
influenza, leaves the patient in such
q weakened condition that the influ-
enza cough never leaves and the pa
tient quickly turns into being tuber-
cular.
SYMPTOMS of tuberculosis depend
a great deal upon the portion of the
body affected, and for this reason it
is very difficult for people to diagnose
themselves and likewise Is difficult
for q physician II he does not use
every up-to-date .diagnostic method
available. Some Of the first symp-
toms are great weakness or slight
hacking cough and increase in tenn
p~erature, especially during the after
noon, and finally night sweats. Any
one with such symptoms should i'm
mediately have q thorough diagnosis
and not allow the suspected tubercu-
losis or any other disease to develop
to such an extent as to reach q Seri-
GUS stage where the cure becomes in
creasingly more difficult.

ing it until an acute attack. brought
on by some specific cause? What
part does age play?"
Answer: Yes, it is possible to have
serious heart trouble for years with
out knowing it until you have an
acute attack. EndocarditiS comes on
at any age and is often the result of
some acute fever or some other dis
ease.
Babies Diet
Question: Mrs. r. w. asks: why
do you not advise giving vegetables,
meat broth, cereals and eggs to chill
dren of one year? So far, I have
adhered strictly to your milk and
orange diet juice regimen, but just
wonder why the child isn't old enough
at one year to take solid food" f.
Answer: Probably the main reason
why I advise milk and orange juice
up to between two and three years
of age is because it always works 50
perfectly. Children gain weight on
1t, have no digestive disturbances, and
seem healthy in every way. When
the other foods you mention are used
there is apt to be a good deal of di-
gestive trouble. Nature probably did
not expect children to eat until their
teeth were sufficiently developed to
be able to chew foods other than the
liquid diet. It does not seem wise to
strain the child's digestive powers on
the rougher foods more suited to the
adult.
symptoms of Chorea
Question: Mrs. U. D. writes: my
16-year-o old daughter is afflicted with
a curious twitching of her fingers.
She is very v and cries occa-
sionally. She doesn't seem to be able
to sit still for any length Of time.
What would you adviser"
Answer: Before I could give my
opinion about her case it would be
necessary for you to have a diagnosis
made, and if you will send me your
doctors report I will be pleased to
give you my advice. The symptoms
you mention ecu during the course
of chorea or st. VituS' dance.

Good for Us

DR.. Frank H. Vizetelly, dictionary editor and a mar
credited with knowing-or at least knowing of-some
100000 words, asserts that kissing is good for the
digestion.
He makes the interesting assertion in a current maya
zine article and gives his reasons, all OF them scientific
MI. Vizetely says, for instance, that in kissing only
beneficient organisms are encountered and that the ad-
~yantageS outweigh the risks. for it provides the klssers
with microbes which are useful for digestion.
Furthermore, and still more interesting, Mr.. Vizetely
asserts that these beneficient organisms flourish in great
est abundance on the lips Of the young and comely.
He selects a few Of his alleged 100000 words to define
Q kiss as follows:
1T is a seal that expresses sincere affection; a pledge
of future union; a gift, which, as given, takes from us
the impression Of our heart; q crimson balsam for the
heart-broken soul: in fact, kisses are the grains of gold
and slver-precious stones from the mime Of the heart
that enrich the store Of happiness when hearts are sur
charged with loves electricity"
Whether we agree with the definition or not, we are
pleased to learn that kissing is not 50 harmful as the
scientific kiNjoys would have US understand. Despite
threats of death and devastation to come, most Of us
have gone on kissing just the same. Without under
standing just why, we have felt that it is good for the
ment.
How. instead Of regarding a tendency to kiss as a
weakness for which we should apologize to the bacter-
biologists, we can look upon it Is q sign Of strength.
What physical asset contributes more to our w~ell-being
than a good digestion? How much money would It take
to buy a whole new stomach in good working order?
But even as we applaud Mr.. v~izetellys versatility In
giving support to one Of our favortte practices. We look
aSkance at that young and comely' proposal. The idea
certainly is enticng but it Is barely conceivable that it
would be- contrary to sound policy.
A married man or woman found kissing someone
young and comely" might find it difficult to convince
an irate spouse that he or she was merely engaging in
an exercise to aid the digestion. Somehow, we have .
faint suspicion that It would not 60 over. And anyhow
the protesting party may not have read MI. vizetellys
Article.
Certainly the whole business lends itself to specula-
lion and there can be no doubt that. jldiciously applied,
his advice would bring more contentment and ~harrtness
to the world.

Wireless in the Desert

Wireless in the Desert
Wireless messages are going to fly across the Arabian
desert pretty soon, all the way from the Red sea to the
Persian gulf.
Mecca, the forbidden city, where temple bells chant
psalms for those who are believers, will have a wireless
telephone and telegraph. King 1bn Saud has entered
into a contract with the Marconi company for Is sta
tions.
Civilization is sweeping into sacred ground and now,
when the caravans start their wanderings, they will be
in contact with the world outside.
OF course the old order must always give way to the
new, on the eastern desert as we'll as by the northern
lake where Arthur cast his sword when the Round Table
broke up forever. Progress is as typical OF adventure and
romance as any knight that ever wore a crimson doublet
and rode a snow-white steed.
But there are many people in the world today who
read with a sense of loss the notice that the wireless
has conquered the desert. They haven't sat on the golden
sands and dreamed through star -strewn nights. They
haven't watched the swarthy faces Of the white-robed
sheiks or heard the softened magic in the rhythm OF
their voices. They haven't caught the scent of spiced
perfumes and incense when the rugs swung apart where
some Arab pulled his tent.
But the very fact that there was an outpost, far to
the East, untouched by anything more than the color
of their own desires, where caravans were as secluded
now as they were in Bible days, has caught the fancy
of those who dare to dream.
When life became too practical, too full of realism
so necessary for success, they could close their eyes and
remember that somewhere the stored land lay untouched.
It will still be there. The caravans will plod their
way as they have done for thousands Of years. But the
sense of slipping off into a medley of silver nights and
warm, gold days, all rudders cast aside, will change
the journey.
Most of the people who long to preserve a little Of the
old order will never see it. They must spend their time
at desks; before machinery; back of the counter. Cairo
and the Shalimar are as forbidden to them as Mecca
itself. But always they have one word in their mind.
Some day -.
And a wireless message flashing out from the spot
where a caravan has pitched its tents, while it makes
for safety and efficiency. and will save lives and time IN
war, somehow spoils the old picture.
So many dreams must live and die in our hearts. No
one can say that the world is lacking in romantic pro-
gress today. The very fact that voices go drifting around
the world and ships fly high above the clouds %disproves
all of that.
But somehow the desert was a secret world Of mystery.
And now it, too, has joined the modern Improvement
society.

For the last five years there
