WASHINGTON, Pa. July Is tN.A
MAJ "A fine old country doctor
heartily recommended by the best chile
specialist in Pittsburgh. was persuaded
to look over the children in the soft
coal mining district of Western Penn
sylvania whom the Governor of the
State has said are starving. The kindly
eyes of the physician became unpro-
fesSional for the moment, and he shook
his head.
They won't live very long-unles:
something happens soon. Children can
not grow to be strong men and wcmer
unless they are fed. The children II

They are going to die, that's ALL
Take the child that has just been
born" he went on quietly. He needs
the milk from his mothers breasts. but
If she has had nothing to eat except
green vegetables there will not be
natural milk of the consistency neceS-
sary for proper nourishment. The baby
should be put on a diet of cows milk
or a substitute.
Condition Disastrous.
The people over there in the mines
can't afford cows milk. They can't
o~iid W IAiC mug as yOu
could, for the substitutes that the
competent physician would prescribe
because the miner cannot pay fol-
them
I'm getting to be an old man. he
went on, and I'm sorry that l can't
pay for a continued diet such as ]
would prescribe

the bell. But 1t was only little girl
with maSklike features that had no
sign of interest nor intelligence.
Doctor" she said, mother asked
me to come up and see If you had
any stale bread for the chickens. We
gave her loaf, though I knew that
the chickens had gone long ago. and
as soon as she left the porch she
started munching at it. She was
hungry, poor child.
Beg Bones From Store.
There is a patient of mine down
the street who runs a grocery store"
he went on. He told me that the
children came up and esked for old
bones usually wanted for the dogs.
They were off -color, but they went into
the boiler and were cooked for a sup

I'm not fooled said the physician,
because 1 know my patients. and /

thing l have ever seen. True, 1 don t
come In contact with them like the
contract doctors. but they come to me
so very often for help. 1t seems I'M
reasonable to expect us to handle calls
that are paid from the miners envelope
at the rate of so cents per fortnight,
but If youngster is going to arrive in
hurry, that's job, even though never
paid for it.
Most OF my clients are of the usual
sort in community of this kind. and
many are Of the class who can afford

Two Giants in the World of Pigmies

Two giants in a world of pigmies have fallen. That
is, they have been called to their eternal reward. Thomas
A. Edison was one of the most remarkable men time has
known. He was one, if not the greatest inventor. He
was one of the most remarkable philosophers. He made
the world fit for the habitation of man. His inventive
achievements made him an immortal for all time. He
was a newsboy at the early age Of IL. He kicked aside
all obstacles and surmounted all barriers. His name was
a household word wherever civilization has found a place.
Sir Thomas Upton was not an inventor but he was
an empire builder, the king Of all traders in the mercan-
tile world and perhaps the most famous sportsman this
or any other century has known. He was born under the
Union Jack. He came to America in his boyhood. He
clerked in the city of Charleston, South Carolina. As a
toiler he gained knowledge in the city of New Orleans
and then he returned to his native land where in the tea
world he became known as the most successful captain
of the producing as well as selling industry known to the
tea drinkers Of the universe. He built yachts at a cost of
millions and he was one of the most chivalrous losers
known in yachting circles the world-over He made many
attempts to carry the challenged cup back to the British
Isles. He lost and when he lost he smiled. he had passed
his S0th milepoSt.
Thomas "A. Edison had passed his 80th milepost.
Edison and Upton were advanced thinkers. They were
humanitarians of the highest order. They never forgot
their DAYS of poverty, the days when poor and unknown
they were fighting for a small place in the sun. John
Burroughs, the famous naturalist; Thomas A. Edison, the
most noted of all world inventors, Henry Ford and Harvey
Firestone were pals for years. They camped IN the open
spaces. They lived close to nature. They were more
devoted than brothers could be. Now two are IN the
shade Of the trees in the valley of peace and rest.
4 Ford and Firestone continue to carry on. Ford Is
confident that the business world is on its way back and
Firestone is equally as confident that adjustment IS the
order Of the day and in the not distant future depression
will be a memory and not a malady.

Physicians emphasize the i'm

for its relief and cure. Men are at

the making OF a diagnosis sooner

tests are found. it 1 ] be possible
to attack the cancer much earlier

none Of the tests thus far offered,

Churches Turn Practical

The plans for a 19-story church and office building
in New York City which will replace the ancient John
Street church are Indicative of the practical turn that
modern religion is taking. In other centuries huge sums
of money were expended on great ~cathedrals which rose
sky-high. They were a drain, very frequently, on the
finances of their congregations. While they were shrines
Of beauty, whose influence on the spiritual was always
splendid and true, they were, in a sense, a luxury.
Today Christianity has put more business spirit into
her buildings, although she has not sacrificed the artistic.
Churches, like any other business, should be a paying in
vestment. Rental Of office space in no wise interferes
with that part of the building that is devoted to sacred
purposes. The John Street church, which is owned by
the General Methodist Conference when its new building
is ready, will be a splendid shrine to enterprising Chris
tianity.
Nor will the memory of the present church be lost
for the lower floor will reproduce it.
