Every Day ReliglOn
BY DR.. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

st could die happily" said the
old woman to the singer, whom
she did not know, "but for one
desire. But it is too late now. 1
have no money and am too old
to earn it. Oh, I'd so love to hear
Jenny Lind sing"
Would it make you very
happy?" asked the singer, whose
voice had given her the name,
"the Swedish Nightingale" The
poor woman looked at her with
shining eyes and said, MY! That
it would; it would be like heaven
on earth to me"
Together they entered the poor
house-where Jenny Lind had
sung beforehand there the glor-
ious voice was heard singing its
loveliest songs, while JOY beamed
in the wizened face Of the old
woman.
Men have little time for all our
talk about religion; it leaves a fog
in the mind. What they want,
what our wary world needs, is
the religion of Him who went
about doing good"
Jesus spent all His time knock
ing holes in the darkness of our
fear-haunted beshadowed human
life. He had no other occupation;
and by His death He let a white
light through the shadow that
waits for every Matchmaking dull
death light-fringed mystery.

FITS a mistake to think that
4 everybody wants to be civilized.
I mean civilized in precisely the
same way that we are. I read re-
Gently some stories in the news
papers about an anthropOlOgist
who came back from a spot called
New Ireland. The natives with
whom he lived had many customs
which seemed monstrous to him.
Husbands bought their wives. The
average price was two pigs.
Now, if we were ruling the
island, our governor = general
would say that such things could
not be. He would insist on an in
fation to four pigs in Difference to
the sanctity Of American woman
hood. Or he would abolish pig
currency. He even might attempt
to make marriage law and custom
precisely as it is in America.
And what would happen then?
The only result would be that
eligible bachelors, a pig clasped
under each arm, would tap at
basement gates and say: "You
know me. I got a wife here
last week with Bob and Charlie"

quently in the secretions in
mouths, noses and threats Of nor
nal persons.
Since normal persons may have
the germs in their breathing tracts
without having the disease, it is
obvious that there may be fac
tors related to the person him
self which are concerned with the
question Of whether or he Will de-
velop the disease. It long has
been known that any factor which
will break down the resistance
of an individual will tend to
cause him to become infected
more easily.
A direct injury to the tissue Of
the lung. such as might occur
from inhaling poison gas, or such
as might occur from lnhahng some
foreign body which would cause
an irritation, will opeen the way

Editor Times-Regarding the
eighteenth amendment, repeal
and beer, I wish to present a few
salient facts. Paraphrased brief
~, the eighteenth amendment
reads: Thou shall not poison
thyself or thy neighbor with alco-
holic poisons." And it surely
should be amended to include
narcotic poisons," which are the
more important, and were out
lawed first by statute.
The United States constitu-
tional amendments or the origi-
nal can not be repealed except
by amendment in the regular way
Of two-thirds of both house and
senate separately and three
tourths of the states within a.
limited time.
The "resubmission" Of the eight
zenith amendment to the people
is contradictory, silly and impos-
slble. This is the confessed loose
plank, wet on one side and dry
on the other" which proved rot
ten and burst the reactionary
platform.
1t viii take some time to amend
the eighteenth amendment, mis-
named repeal, but the Volstead
law can and Will be repealed
quickly and an honest and sin
cere law put in its place, which
viii be enforced honestly and
obeyed.
1t will, in line with the Thou
shall not poison thyself nor thy
neighbor with alcoholic nor mar
cotic poisons," legalize "a or 3 or
per cent wine and beer as not
poisonous. But it will forbid any
narcotic or drugged liquor, for
such is the paralyzing, binding
and dementing cause now being
1oStered by the Hyde Hoover Mel
lon dynasty.
Then with the legalizing of 2.75
per cent beer and 81 per cent
wine, the law will absolutely for
bid any public drinking places,
but will be sold just as is the
taxed r-making malt now in
groceries.
Thus the beer and wine will be
pure and safe. so that the poison
racketeers will be put out of bust
ness and strong drink taboo. w.
j. Bryan's daughter, Congress
woman Ruth Owen, made the best
speeches and gave the clearest
explanations during all the recent
campaign, which hinged on some
thing more important than a sub
stitute for pure water to drink.
The people in this battle OF,
ballots won most quickly and de-
cisively a greater victory than any
battle Of carnage-yes, as mucn
as any whole war, if not more.

Questions and
Answers . .

Q-How did the abbreviation
Xmas" for Christmas originate?
A-The explanation is that the
initial letter of the Greek name
for Christ is x, and the COIN
cidence of its cruciform shape led
to an early adoption Of this let
ter as the figure and symbol of
Christ. x frequently is found on
the walls of the CatacOmbs. When
the early Christians wished to
make a representation of the
trinity, they placed either cross
or an x beside the names of the
Father and the Holy Ghost. From
this came the shortened form
Xmas" for Christmas.

ing in the senate to convict Presi-
dent Johnson on the impeach-

to be reason to believe that the

Diabetes Deaths Soar
BY DAVID DIETz

TINE death rate from diabetes
Il has been steadily increasing
over the last decade and now is
the highest that it has ever been
in the history of America. That
is the conclusion reached by DR..
Frederick L. Hoffman, well-knoWn
statistician.
Diabetes is one of the so-called
degenerative diseases, that is,
diseases which involve the deterl-
oriation of an internal organ.
The sudden death Of eX-Presl-
dent Calvin Coolidge served to
center attention on what probably
is the most important Of this
group Of diseases, namely, heart
disease. But the medical profess
sion today is equally concerned
about all of them.
Statistics show an increase IN
all degeneratiVe diseases and also
in cancer. There are two opinions
about the SupJecU. SOIne duCAlOI4 L
ties think that the increase is due
to the fact that more people live
to old age. They point out that
fewer infants and children are
killed by the diseases Of childhood.
It is to be expected, therefore,
that since more people reach an
old age, more Of them will Ole
from the wearing out Of the ar
teries or some internal organ, the
heart or the liver, for example, or
that they will succunlb to cancer.
The other school Of thought be-
lieves that nervous tension, too
much speed, living conditions in
imical to health, and similar facts,
are causing real increase in
these diseases.

The Pnncreds Gland
DIABETES is caused by tint

DIABETES is caused by the
Odegeneration of certain por-
tions of the pancreas gland known
as the Islets Of Langerhans. For
merly it ran its course with great
rapidity and proved fatal IN a
short period of time.
Today it is treated with insulin,
and victims Of the disease may
look forward as a rule to many
years of happy and active life.
In the normal person the 1slets
of Langerhans secrete a chemical
substance Or hormone into the
blood stream which is inSulin. The
insulin treatment is simply a
means to supply to the patient
the material which his own pam
creas fails to supply.
1t should be borne in mind,
therefore, that insulin is a treat
ment and not cure.
DR.. Hoffman discusses his find
ings concerning diabetes in the
Spectator, a journal devoted to
the problems Of the insurance
world.
He points out that the death
rate from diabetes in 1881 was the
highest in history. Figures for
1882 have not been tabulated)
Diabetes, regardless Of che in
sulin treatment and other adj
vances in medicine, continues to
increase" he writes. The diabetes
death rate Of fifty American cities,
which in 1881 had a combined
population Of about 100000, in
creased from 159 per 100000 in
1912 to PAS in 1881. This is the
highest rate which ever was re-
corded for this country.
The actual number Of deaths
in these cities increased from $3.50
in 1890 to 1910 in 1881, or 81 per
cent. This can not be looked upon
otherwise than with most serious
apprehensions."

Our DietdrY Habits

DR. HOFFMAN is unwilling to
IL accept the explanation that
the increase in diabetes is due en-
tirely to the fact that more people
are living to an older age than
formerly
Something must be radically
wrong with our dietary habits and
average nutrition to yield such
startling results Of abnormalities."

lie base of currencies which present gold stocks cannot ad- quately supply and with ever increasing demands for more new money to meet the require ments of growing population and expanding commerce, the world must inevitably turn to siome other metal than gold if it is to avoid recurrent periods of money difficulties such as we are now passing through.
 Silver, used with gold at a stipulated ratio to the latter metal, would, according to 8 vast mass of unrefuted evi- dence, supply the additional metal base necessary to a sound currency system and also would provide new money as needed to meet the require ments of increasing population and trade. In addition it would provide what gold cannot do alone, namely a monetary base that would remain compara- lively if not wholly stable, thus obviating recurrent periods of money stringency and money imitation, with their attendant periods of hard times and good times.

Silver Only Solution
 Of Monetary Difficulties

We do not pretend to know very much concerning the high ly complicated money question but from all the evidence pro and con so far presented by those who do it appears certain that the world must resort to the use of silver with gold be- fore there can be such a thing as stable money either here or abroad. By this we mean the kind of money referred to by President Roosevelt in his re- cent message to the internat- ional conference, in which he said:
 America seeks the kind of dollar which a generation hence will have the same purchasing power as the dollar value we hope to attain in the near future"

A Blow at the Spells System

Considering that most of the present pbstmasters are Re- publican appointees, President Roosevelt has performed a most remarkable as we'll as a most praisworthy act in retain ing some fifteen thousand of them in office until the expir- ation of their term of appoint ment and placing them under the civil service rules. In do- ing so he has delivered a re- sounding blow to the bernie foul; political doctrine "To the victors belong the spells" This, to our way of thinking, is the most important feature of his action.
 We never could see any logic in removing an experienced and competent appointive off, ficial merely because he was tagged with a different polit- ical label from those having the appointive power. Experi- ence is an invaluable adjunct to governmental admin:strat- ion and if we wish to obtain real efficiency in government there is no better way to do 1t than by retaining in the gov ernment service those who possess experience in conduct ing governmental functions.
