"Well-we used to condemn hot bis
cults; I've never in a quarter of a CEN
fury of practice found peptic ulcer in
a mar that was a hot-biscuit-fend."
The president: tive eat EN- for sew
enty-five years; they've never hurt me
that I've noticed"
The essayist-a young man who was
to speak on plastic surgery: THE only
time hot biscuits ever hurt me was
when | couldn't get EN-" (He was
reaching for his fourth.)
There were t~hirty-nine at the table,
doctors and their wives. 1t was re-
markable how they all went after those
hot biscuits and the dark meat of
fried spring chicken-and nobody suf-
fered from indigestion because Of it.
For myself, if my patients can ham
die chicken at all, l give him soft
cooked dark meat, not part of an old
asbestos breast. And, if he can't eat a
fine little hot biscuit with butter, he is
too sick t o tackle a slob of tough Eight
bread" So there.

T. THEM HOWL

Coming to work Monday morning,
with a heart full Of peace and good
will. | found two letters on my desk.
Sir; | long have been a reader OF
your pieces, but your last editororial
was the best you ever have written. i
have cut it out and am going to frame
It and hang il in my office
The other letter referred to the same
identical editorial.
Sir: Much Of the time | have
agreed with you, but after reading
your last weeks ~effusion | bid you
farewell. Such a bunch of boloneyl"
Being naturally a sensitive person,
| suffered from criticism in my early
days. Once, when an article of mine
contained a blunder for which the ed
itor received caustic letters, | felt so
sick | stayed in bed all one day.
But as time went on | developed a
philosophy as to criticism and so, it
seems to me, must every man who is
going to get anything done. The first
point in that philosophy is that you
can't please everybody, and that much
criticism, good or bad, is entirely I'M
informed.
One can not be guided too much by
The public because the public is so
~changeable. Every public character of
any influence has been popular at
some time in his career and unpopular
at others.
Criticism is good for us. We need it,
no matter how we'll meaning or care
full we may be. One time when John
Morley was being severly handled by
the English press Gladstone said to
him: Take it from me that to endure
tramping-on with patience and self
control is no bad element in the prep
aration Of a man for walking firmly
and successfully in the path of greal
public duty. But sure that discipline is
full Of blessings
Finally, and in the last analysis a
man has to do his best and go forward
A famous old English schoolmaster had
this motto, Of which | am fond. "Nev-
er explain, new ~retract, never apol-
ogize. Get it done and let them howl
LET'S PREACH POSITIVE FAITH
Years ago an eminent economist had
an idea.

Cooperatives il America

A great deal is being written and said these DAYS
about Consumer Cooparatives. People are hearing about
the great success Of The cooperative movement in Great
Britain and on the European continent, and are asking
why cooperation won't work in America.
The answer is that it doe sand it doesn't.
Farm coopelatives, marketing associations whose
members pool their products for sale. have been meas
urably successful in this country, especially sinse the
Federal government began to give them financial aid
the Farm Marketing Act of 1929 and the Farm Credit
Acts of 1888 and 1885. Nearly a quarter Of the cash in
come of American farmers for the crop year of 1895
came from sales made through Cooperative marketing
associations, which did about a billion and half dollars
of business.
In spite of all the efforts to build up such organiz-
atoms and keep them going, their death-rate is still high.
Out of some $4,000 organized since the Grange began
the cooperative movement in the 1905, more than 10000
have died.
Consumer Cooperatives have a similar history. There
are about 1900 of them in operation in this country now.
More than half are cooperative oil and gasoline distrib-
utors, many are buying groups for the purchase of GER
tain limited classes of commodities. Somewhat under 500
are cooperative retail stores, with or without their own
wholesale distributors.
All told, these Consumer cooperatives did about
Sl00C00,000 Of business last year, of which about half was
in oil and gasoline. The total represents about one-ffth
Of one percent Of the nations total business turnover for
the year. In England, where Consumer Cooperative So
cietes have been developing for nearly a century, they
do about Is percent Of all retail trade. In Sweden the
proportion is still higher.
President Roosevelt recently sent a commission to
Europe to investigate and report on the operations of
Consumer Cooperatives over there. This indicates a re-
vival of interest in the whole subject.

WHEN DOCTORS SIT
DOWN TO DINE

l sat at a medical dinner recently
a meeting of the county society Oh
which | am secretary. The 7~7-year-old
chairman sat next to me-he at the

conversation, | feel sure, may interest
my readers.

The doctor, trying his best to tear
the meat off a drumstick with a dull
fork-"Naw, I don't never did"

The Statue Of Liberty, which stands on Bedloe's
Island in New York Harbor and greets the incoming pas
sengers on the ships from other nations, was fifty years
old last week.
Miss Liberty is probably the most famous statue in
tor, Frederick Bartholdi, and given to the American peo-
pie by the people of France, who raised a fund by popu-
lar subscription to cast that gigantic statue in bronze and
set it up in the Port of New York. This was a testimonial
Of the 100-year-old friendship between France and
America, a tribute from one great democracy to another
great democracy. These two nations, almost alone among
the nations of the world, stood fifty years ago as the great
opponents of the principle of government of the people
for the people by the people.
Under the pressure of economic stress and subver-
sive doctrines France now seems to have receded some
what from its ancient peace-loving ideals, but she still
remains as one Of the bulwarks of popular government
The liberty which Bartholdis statue acclaimed still re-
mains the most precious possession of the people Of Am
erica. This nation has successfully resisted every attempt
to curtail or bridge Individual liberty of thought, speech
and action.
1t is to be hoped that fifty years from now the spirit
symbolized by the great bronze statue in New York har-
Dor will still be the proudest possession of the people of
the United States.
Apology is only egotism wrong side ut.-Oliver
Wendell Holmes.

because he has a stiff neck.

~sponsible.

carefully, he set down the number of
new members added each year. Oppo-
site this, in another column, he ~classi-
fled each year from an economic stand
point as prosperous or bad.
The year 1865 was a bad year; nine
teen thousand people joined his partic-
ular church. In 1866 came panic, and
new members jumped to thirty thous-

Then years of good times, but bad
times for the church, until the panic of
1873, when up shot the membership,

prosperity registered a new low
| fancy the same thing is happening
today; at least our church has been full
recently. Last Sunday the preacher
said that religion consist in being able
to recognize the extraordinary In the
ordinary things of life.
Many people see the turmoil of the
present, and say: 1T is confusion; it is
anarchy; it is hopeless" But those who
are wiser say: 1T is God remouldin.

Let us bestir ourselves and go for

The sermon lifted us. II was a clear
prophetic voice announcing that the
Power which made the world has not
deserted it, is still working in it. II
made us feel that we ought to lift our
eyes and be active, lest these great and
far-reaching changes come to pass
without our recognizing them.

THE FUTILITY OF CONFLICT

Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr, who deserted the Van wound up by being a particularly good one, writes entertainingly this month in the current Red Book on the Civil War in Spain, and paints graphic pie ture of the conditions in the war-torn areas. A veteran of the Argonne himself Reporter Vanderbilt knows conflict and how to describe it. But more enlightening to the people of this country is the conclusion he makes of what will be the result in Spain
 No matter who wins, he points out it will take at least two generations to rehabtae Spain to any point near her former standard of cultural and com mercial achievement and the sad part of it is the fact he brings out, that Spain has no natural re- sources as compared with other countries, but must rely to large extent imports and borrowed capital
 Who" asks the reporter will loan her that capital?"
 Aside from wine and olive oil, Spain has virtually no exports With everything in ruins as a result of her internal war, she has nothing to major loan, to make it inviting to capital to come tc her rescue.
 Rebel and Leftist leaders all talked to the reporter of Spains future. They thought nothing of the thou sands of dead, of their famed ruined cathedrals, their dynamited factories and industrial plants, o their war-torn rural areas. Both sides he reported speak of great future Spain. But, he pointed out, Spain has future until complete rehabilita-
