Ready-Made Diet Is Not Cure-All

Inflammation Of the kidney, in
the acute stage, generally means
failure Of the kidneys to eliminate
anything at all. Obviously, the i'm
portant factor in such disease is to
withhold food to permit less re-
tention of waste products in the
body.
In subacute forms of inflamma-
ton of the kidney, there is serious
drainage Of protein material from
the body and perhaps some reten-
ton Of waste products.
Hence the diet in this stage is
planned to make good the waste of
protein and perhaps to cut down
tho salt.
In chronic inflammation of the
kidney, which is the true Bright's
disease, the amount of food, partic-
ularly protein, that the patient takes
must be adjusted to ability Of the
kidney to take care of elimination.
Hence in acute nephritiS or in
flammation of the kidney, it gener-
ally is safe to cut down the pa
TENTS diet to small amount of
fruit, fruit juice, sugar and water
for at least a few days, eliminating
proteins almost entirely and avoid
ing salt.
In the chronic forms of inflam-
nation of the kidney, various special
diets have been developed by

Understands Delay

CPEAKING of the Wickersham re-
- port, what is holding it up?
Can't the boys agree, or has some
one tipped them off not SO say any
thing until congress adjourns, as
many people suspect?
To laymen, the delay looks f1shy
especially since it has been rumored
on several occasions that the report
would be given out such and such
a day.
Has somebody contracted a case
of cold feet after learning what ii
would recommend?
Nobody knows. while everybody is
trying to guess, which is creating a
worse state of affairs than any
recommendation. no matter how
radical, could bring about.
There is not one bit of use in
dawdling over this issue, it has come
to stay, and we are not going to rid
ourselves of it as one Of the worst
political bugaboos ever developed in
this country, until we meet it
squarely.

Prohibitions F allure

a S presently enforced, nullided
IN and scoffed at, prohibition not
only handicaps politics but about
every other major activity in the
United States.
It is the fat cat of every racket,
has split or demoralized half the
churches, furnishes the most con-
venient and profitable meeting
ground for crime and corruption,
and is responsible for most of the
lawlessness from which we are suf-
fering.
The outstanding accomplishment
of nationwide prohibition thus far
has been to divert an enormous rev.
enue from the government into the
hands of rum runners and beer
barons, who enjoy an income, and,
consequently, a power they never
before knew.
They have used that income and
that power to surround themselves
with such an aggregation of crooks
and cut-throatS as never before was
assembled in this country.

1T SEEMS TO ME BY HR RF045@

I'VE added one more New Year
L resolution to my list. From this
time forth I'm not going to serve
on any honorary committee to pro-
mote the peace, prosperity Or well
fare of good, bad or Indifferent
causes.
This comes from the heart. I had
to get up at 10 in the morning and
spend most of the day waiting
around a court to testify concern
ing a breadline and its manager,
and all could tell the magistrate
was that I knew nothing about it.
I had merely lent my name.
The place was filed with generals
and other dignitaries in about the
same fix.
And because the wheels of justice
move slowly, may I be pardoned for
reprintipg a fairy story Of my own
which was written eight or nine
years ago?

REASON BY FR 42H11s

GONE of our people have become greatly excited
~ because London newspaper proposes to pub
lish in serial forr the book which Castor B. Means
wrote about former President Harding and his
strange DEATH
There's no occasion to get rufed over this, since
there's way to stop it. Certainly should be
most absurd should we ask the British government
to stop such newspaper publication when per-
mitted the same stuff to be published in the United
States in book form.
If the dear Europeans can get any consolation
out of the fact that our public servants not per-
feet then for the love Mike don't deny them this
for they are so drenched with the scandals of their
own statesmen they are entitled to whatever COM
fort they get out of feeling that Presidents, as
well as kings, are only common clay.
TNHOSE American who becoming fused over
the imminent publication of the late Mr.. Har-
dings shortcomings should be able to find consolation
in the fact that the public life of this country has
been lily fair and almost undefled, alongside the
spotted chronicle of rocky.
In fact. many European nations have regarded
their rulers as too pad for their approval unless
they wore scandal for a mantle.
We have one fear for the Harding story when it
appears in this London newspaper We fear it viii
prove hopelessly uninteresting and see the
average Englishman wadding the paper into ball
and throwing it Ct the cat because Harding said
to have Only one irregular love affair.
According to the European viewpoint, that makes
a man hopeessy provincial.
The father of the present king of England, Ed
ward tho Seventh world famous for his escapades
when he ,yas prince Of Wales, would have thought
Harding mere retailer for that princes name always
was on the lips of gossip.
TT~HE people Of this country however are entitled
L to a rest SO fan as the late President Harding
is concerned and American publishers should get
together and ring the bell any future forays into
this dead mans latitude
He can't defend himself and it's. all in ALL dis
gushing and contemplate way to get easy money
It's altogether possible that Harding was not
angel, but then very fortunate in that
we do not depend on our politicians &c supply us
with angels Otherwise. we might some day find
ourselves rather short wings.
But the fact remains that while Harding lived,
he was courted by the very fellows who now dodge
and abuse him.

Turn in the Tide

T HAVE heard a lot Of converse
L ton along that line since leav-
ing New York, and the bulk of it
has been among people not profess
sionally interested in politics.
A tide is setting in, and though
it can not be described as entirely
Democratic, it certainly is against
the present Republican regime.
1t is running right down where
plain, ordinary folk live, too, which
makes it doubly significant.
BY and large, the situation re-
minds me Of 1894, when the country
turned against Cleveland, or 1910,
when it soured on Taft.
If there were not so many I'M
usual and unprecedented circum-
stances, one could easily guess the
result, but prohibition, farm relief,
foreign affairs and the power prob
lem upset anybody's apple cart, not
to mention those innumerable pit
falls which always dog a leaders
path.

TINE average man is unfortu-
Il nately of the belief that for
every disease there is a special diet
which can be handed to him on a
slip by the doctor and that thereby
his condition can be improved
greatly.
Actual facts of the matter are
that the influence of diet in disease
usually is exaggerated and not gen.
orally well understood. The whole
purpose of dietary control Of dis
ease is to take from organs con-
cerned with digestion, absorption,
and assimilation of food, any I'M
necessary activity. to give them a
chance to overcome the changes
brought about in time by disease.
The physician chooses the diet
for the individual patient on the
basis Of his knowledge of the
changes that have taken place in
the tissues of the patient.
Certain principles are fundamen-
tai and the considerations here
given are not intended in any way
to modify the individual instruc-
tons given by the physician actu-
ally in charge Of the case. They
merely indicate the reason for these
instructions when given.

Sweat poured down the face of

And now he took the magic globe

His fingers closed against the golden
shell, which popped and broke be-

Ready enough to agree that the
situation is not so good, your av-

up by declaring that it is just as
bad, if not a little worse, in most
other places, especially back east.
Then he wants to know what they

If he happens to be a Democrat,

Rays of Hope

agreeing emphatically with Sif
James Jeans and Sir Arthur Eds
dington, the British astronomers
Jeans and Eddington, following a
suggestion first made by Macmillan
Of the University of Chicago, have
developed the theory that the en-
ergy of our own sun and the other
stars is generated by the annihila-
ton of matter within these bodies
This means that the stars and
the sun slowly are burning them
selves out, and one day will be cold
bodies. --s~
Jeans regards our universe Ikea
clock which was wound up at some
dim, distant time in the past and
which now slowly, but inevitably is
running down. Some day, he be-
lieves, it will stop. He sees no me-
chanism for causing it to start UP
again.
Milikan, on the other hand, re-
CARDS the coSmic rays which enter
the earth's atmosphere from outer
space, as a sort of invisible raIns
bow of hope in the distant heavens,
These rays, he said, are of such
nature, and come in so unifornaIy
from all space, showing no concern
tration in the direction Of the sun
or the Milky Way, that they can
be explained only as the by-prods
uct of a process by which matter
is created anew out of energy in the
distant reaches Of the universe. -
According to Millikan's view, the
stars indeed are burning themselves
out, but the process by which new
stars eventually will be created al
ready is under way.

Island GaIaxieS

W/lIH the passage OF Time ana
wv the building of larger ana
larger telescopes, the problem Of the
universe became more and more
complex. Each new telescope re-
vealed a large number of new stars,
The problem was one which baf-
fed astronomers until the present
century. The first three decades or
the present century have seen two
interesting developments, one. the
realization that the universe was
far larger than astronomers of the
nineteenth century had supposed.
and two, the beginning Of an un-
Outstanding of the organization and
structure of the universe.
Shapley has played a major rolg
in both these developments. It is
largely due to his efforts that as
tronomers now are seeking a suit
able name for a unit of measure
which will be equal to 10000 ,O06
light years, that is 100000 tinaeS
0.000,0O0,O0O miles.
Shapley's conclusions stated be-
fore the Cleveland convention may
be summarized as follows:
That the unit of organization IN
the universe is a great cloud -ne
some billions of stars. known as an
island galaxy Of spiral nebula. --s-
That our own Milky Way -eF
galaxy, a collection of some 100000

archipelago formed by the running
together of ten or twelve island
galaxies. ~
That the island galaxies are rot
