CAPITAL PUNISHMENT


A cold blooded murder was re-
Gently committed As a result a
renewed demand for capital pun
ishment has arisen Since this
concerns all OF US, | assume II a
subject OF general interest
Here are three propositions:
l. Capital punishment does not
prevent crime.
2. Nothing is as priceless as a
human life.
3. Capital punishment occasion
ally destroys an innocent man.
II these statements are true. how
then, either on the basis OF Chris
tan principles. or mere logical de-
duction, can the conclusion be held
and defended that capital punish
ment is desirable7
Judging by the number OF
churches ! assume that probably
nowhere are there more Christians
per square foot than in the city OF
Ypsilanti. Ordinarily this de-
presses me. am. however. not
unaware OF the awful results
achieved By these good people
when aroused to concerted action
in righteous wrath. Since this is
a subject right down their alley,
may | meekly suggest that they
indulge in another demonstration
Of their power for good by notify
ing their state representative (who
is one OF them) that he has com
mitted a grievous error OF judg
ment. that they want no part OF his
capital punishment either now OF
in the sweet bye and bye.
In so doing. they will have earn.
ed as much admiration as is pos
sible for a lost soul TO bestow on
them.

Some Shots"


Some Shots"
At any rate he goes TO doctors
And he gets some shots" He gets
them for everything, it seems to
me. Every third person in my
neighborhood is getting "eold
shots" A friend Of mine in Cali
fornia contracted poison oak and
went and got some shots" One Of
my very young relatives is get
ting shots" to make him grow. Ny
mail is full of inquiries as to what
| think Of shots for everything
from falling and CRAVING hair to
pimples. Doesn't anybody give q
plain, old fashioned prescription
any more - to be taken three
times a day before meals in =
little water"
Not that | object, you under
stand. Oh, may feel some slight
sense of indignity to the memory
of Francis Rynd of the Meath
Hospital, Dublin, who, in 1861 in
vented that noble medical instru-
ment, the hypodermic syringe. The
procedure used to be called "a
hypodermic injection" then it be-
came Typos and now shots"
HypOdermie Injection
The hypodermic injection was
used in Francis Rynd's day for pa
tients who couldn't hold any medi-
cine on their stomachs, or for
rapid action. Then there we're in
troduced into medical science some
substances that could not be giveR>
by mouth because they were de-
stroyed by the stomach juices. The
first of these and still one Of the
most useful was diphtheria anti
toxin. Then came typhoid vac
cine. Then insulin for diabetes.
And latest peniciliin.
All this is perfectly legitimate,
but the curious thing Is that the
medical profession more highly
prizes the substances-new inven-
tions-that can be absorbed by
mouth, such as liver extract for
anemia, and the sulfa drugs. There
are literally hundreds of doctors
today experimenting to try to find
an insulin that can be taken by
mouth. Think what boon it would
be 70 the millions Of diabetic pa
tients who have to take a hypO-
dermic injection every day.
In general the absorption OF a
medicinal substance when taken
by mouth is more gradual and
complete than when taken by hy-
podermic or into the blood stream.
Less is wasted and the effect lasts
longer.
An Advantage Of Shots"
One advantage Of the use Of
SHOTS" to the doctor is that the
patient has to keep coming and
the doctor has a better chance to
observe and control him. But what
a waste Of time!
As to the relative value Of the
manifold varieties Of shots" that
are given nowadays, l do not be-
lieve | wish to put my opinion on
record at the present fateful mo-
ment in the worlds history. As |
have indicated above there are
legitimate reasons for using them.
They seem to be particularly fire.
