Speaker Bunkheud

The sudden passing of William B.
Bankhead, Speaker of the House of
Representatives since 1886, prompts
q keener realization of his value to
his party, his native State and his
country at large. Few men Of his
time have been esteemed more highly
by contemporaries qualified to Judge.
1t also is true that he was better
loved than the generality Of those
who have risen to lofty position
through political activity.
Perhaps the explanation of Mr..
Bankheads achievement may be
found in the fact that it was a nat
ural development He was born to
a career of service. The name of
his family means in Alabama very
much what Adams means in Massa
chusettS. He required no introduc-
tion to the electors of his district.
They knew him from boyhood and
understood that he was educated for
the work he was destined to do. His
brother followed their father to the
Senate. The Speaker preferred the
lower branch of the National Legis-
lature. In that place he had oppor-
tunity for the exercise of the talents
which once had suggested to him
that he should attempt the profess
sional stage-an ambition gratified
vicariously in the success of his
daughter as an actress.
Some sacrifices inevitably were de-
manded OF him as he rose to the

tween religion and science cannot exist.
Science without religion is lame, religion
without science is blind"
In the first place. there can be no re-
ligion without God: since religion
teaches the existence OF a personal God
In the second place. religion is not
blind to legitimate science for it has
always recognized and befriended it. 1t
is, however. blind TO spurious science.
In urging the rejection of God from
religion he gives This reason: The doc
trine of personal God interfering with
natural events could never be refuted,
in the real sense, by science. for this
doctrine can always take refuge in
those domains N which scientific knoWl-
edge has not yet been able to set foot"
Imagine such silly logic! Because Elm
stein cannot penetrate those domains. "
he concludes that God is to be removed
from religion. DR.. Einstein should go
back to his mathematics and leave re-
ligion alone. BELIEVER.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. TrdceUell.

fled with far less food than it gets, once
1T is shrunk back to what some nutrition
lists call its normal size.
Persons who have made some personal
experiments in diet will be willing to be-
lieve that part, at least. of what the
human stomach seems to demand is not
needed at all.
1t is called for merely to give the
trusty organ nice feeling of roundness,
of being completely filled.
So we see everywhere people eating
two meals at a time, the first one be-
cause they need it, and the second, right
on top of the first, because they think
they want it.
They neither need II nor want it, but
the stomach demands it, because it is
used to be stretched at each and every
meal. Nothing less will satisfy it. This
demand takes on the form of an uneasy
feeling which some mistake for hunger.
1t is nothing of the kind. True hunger
seems to be little experienced any more.
What is mistaken for it is often nothing
more than the stomach demanding to
be filled up and distended.
II less food is eaten, in time the stom-
ach seems to shrink back a bit, and call
for less food.
Then the old craving for more on top
Of plenty goes out the window.
There is no longer this uneasy demand
for more food when both his eyes ana
common sense tell the consumer that he
has eaten enough.
Like goldfish in an aquarium. he
proves TO himself that he can get along
on great deal less.
1t is easy enough TO see this in the
poor fish.
1t will retain its pep much better
when it must swim for its dinner, when
1t does not get all it wants, and so does
not have either indigestion or a dis
tended swimming bladder.
The desire for more and more food at
meal, shared by goldfish and man, is
not something new, but is as old as
the hills and the oceans.
It is proved by the very fact Of our
daily meals. all made with many begin
nings and endings. First there is one
dish, and then another. and when YOU
would think the meal had come to a
close then something else appears.
This stufing We call civilized eating
but it goes far back to the days when it
was difficult to get enough food, and
man and fish had to eat all they could
whenever they got the chance, because
they might not get the chance again
soon
1t will be realized then in civilization,
or what is left Of it, We must be careful
Of overeating ourselves, just as We must
take care that our pet goldfish is not
allowed to eat more than is good for it.
If we do this. we will end this in
cessant Clamoring for something else"
at every meal, and find that We are all
the better. physically, and much better
mentally, for the lack.
