Because of this the mod

Such a condition not only serf

HOW TO KEEP
WELL
♦
Dr. Frederick R. Green,
Editor of "Health."
(Q, 1924, Western Newspaper Union.)
Are Microbe* Real?
*T*HE microscope Is Just ninety years
■*• old. Yet In that short time, no
longer than the life of many persons
still living. It has changed our Ideas
of the world we live In.
We naturally think of the world as
limited to what we can see. Yet we
know that there are many things in
the world beyond our vision. The sailor
knows that the land too far away for
him to see will be made visible to blui
by the telescope, which bringfe far ob
jects near.
The human eye is limited, not only
as to the distance which It can see
but also as to the size of the object
It can see. The microscope makes
small objects visible just as the tele
scope makes distant objects visible.
When the watchmaker has a delicate
job of repairing to do, he uses his
microscope, so that he can see the tiny
springs and wheels plainly enough to
work on them. The wheels are there,
even If they are too small for hid
eyes to see. They are just as real as
larger objects, only we can't see them
until the microscope has given addi
tional power to our eyes.
The microscope was invented In its
present form In 1835 by three men—
Lister, an Englishman; Chevalier, a
Frenchman, and Amlei, an ItaliaD.
The microscope Is used today In
hundreds of factories and workshops,
and Is Indispensable in any work which
Is too fine for the unaided human eye.
Yet there are still many people who
regard anything seen through a micro
scope as imaginary rather than real.
The microscope doesn't create any
thing or Imagine anything. It doesn't
Increase the size of the object looked
at, any more than a .telescope brings
a distant ship any nearer. It merely
Increases the power of the human eye,
so that it tan see an object too small
to be seen by the unaided vision.
One of the first discoveries made
with the microscope was that there
were many living things In this world
too small for the human eye to see.
These tiny living creatures were called
"animalculae" or little animals 6y old
Van Leeuwenhock, the Dutch spec
tacle maker, who first saw them In
1683. He thought they were animals.
In 1878, Sidillot, a French scientist,
called them "microbes" or "little lives."
They are little plants, very small
but just as real as an oak tree or a
cabbage plant. There are many differ
ent kinds and they grow from seed
Just like wheat and corn.

Dodging Diabetes
'"OHE discovery of Insulin Is a great
advance In the treatment of di
abetes. But Insulin does not In any
way prevent this disease. It only en
ables the doctor to control It and to
keep the diabetic alive a few years.
No one knows why, In some persons,
diabetes occurs. But we do know
that it Is Increasing. Doctor Joslln,
one of the best-known authorities on
this disease, says there are probably
more than half a million persons in
this country suffering from this dis
ease.
We "do Know that It Is "more common
among the well-to-do than among those
In moderate circumstances. It Is more
common among those who lead sed
entary lives than among those who do
hard physical work, and, most Impor
tant of all, It Is much more common
among the fat than the thin.
During middle life, a fat person Is
40 times as apt to have diabetes as a
person of normal or slightly under
normal weight.
So diabetes seems to be a disease
of the prosperous. Those who over
eat and under-eierelse are preferred
candidates for this disease.
After you once get It, there Is no
cure. You can control It by proper
living but you can never get entirely
well again. You've got to pay the
price, the rest of your life, of eating
too much, especially too much sugar
and starch, and working too little.
After you get It, the first thing the
doctor will do will be to cut out sugar
and starch and to reduce your weight.
Knowing this. Isn't It sensible to do
these things yourself, before you are
sick, rather than to wait and do the
same things after It Is too late?
The most common defect of middle
age Is overweight. Fat Is not onlj
a burden but a danger. Cut down on
candy, pie, pudding and other sweets.
Eat less white bread and cereals and
more fresh fruit and vegetables. Drink
more milk and fewer lee cream sodas
ll your work doesn't give you enough
exercise, give your muscles something
to do that will keep them active. Drink
plenty of pure water and breathe plen
ty of fresh air.
Good health Is easy. If you will
live simply. It costs less than th»
dlsesse and 1s a great deal more com
fortable.

NEWS REVIEW OF
CURRENT EVENTS
Armistice Day Is Observed
Impressively—W. M. But
ler Given Lodge's Seat
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
X/fORE Impressively and more gen
iVl erally than ever before, Armistice
day was observed throughout the
United States, In all parts of the Brit
ish empire, in France, Italy, and in
the smaller allied countries, and
wherever a number of veterans of the
Great war could gather together,
America's chief ceremony was of course
at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier
lh Arlington cemetery. Upon the
tomb President Cooiidge placed a
wreath at 11 o'clock, and Mrs. Cooi
idge next quietly laid upon the white
marble slab a single white rose, sym
bolic of the tribute of the motherhood
of the land. The British ambassador
placed a wreath there, a scarred hero
from France laid beside It a bronze
leaf sent by the French Union of Face
Wounded, and soon the beautiful Sar
cophagus was covered with floral of
ferings.
With King George and his sons lead
ing at the great cenotaph in Lon
don, the people of the metropolis plied
flowers six feet high about the shaft,
and solemn services were held at the
tomb of the Unknown British Hero In
Westminster. For the first time the
dliy was observed generally in Dublin,
where the crowds sang "God Save the
King."
Another ceremony of the day In
Washington was held at the peace
cross where Woodrow Wilson la bur
ied. Huston Thompson, chairman of
the federal trade commission, was the
chltf speaker, and he described the
war President as another Savanaroia
who had se«n a great vision and found
the way of salvation for mankind but
"had been compelled to ascend the
Mount of Crucifixion" by men who
could not understand him and would
not be led by him.
At a church service of flags In a
New York church, held in connection
with the Armistice anniversary, Rear
Admiral , Bradley A. Fiske warned
America that "our probable enemies
are becoming stronger to attack and
we weaker to resist."
Admiral Flske argued that competi
tion among nations, while often lead
ing to war, was also the stimulus of
progress, and that "from this last It
would be illogical to expect human
beings could escape." He said the
United States was surrounded by
virile, ambitious and Intelligent bat
poor nations, and mentioned Germany,
Russia and Japan. These countries,
he said, "cannot Justly be blamed"
If they envy America's wealth.
PREDICTIONS that, having been
elected to the Presidency, Mr
Coolldge would soon get rid of some
of the cabinet members selected by
President Harding and would also dis
card some of the Harding policies seem
to have been premature If not base
less. No startling change In either
respect Is to be expected. Secretary
of the Interior Work, It is known,
would be glad to retire, and Secre
tary of War Weeks would lltfe to quit
official life because of poor health, so
they may step out on March 4. It Is
reported thst there may be a new post
master general, and that Secretary of
Labor Davis may be succeeded by John
L. Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers. Any such changes will be
at the request of the present cabinet
members concerned. Howard -M. Gore,
now acting secretary of agriculture. Is
likely to be left In that position nntf]
March 4, when he becomes governor
of West Virginia.
From the White Mouse the word
emanated that the President contem
plsted no changes In policy | because
he was to be chief executive in his
own right; that he propose* to keep
the ship of stste on an even keel and
that If he can help It producers, em
ployer* and wage earners will not be
troubled by uncertainties. He looks on
the basilicas boom that has followed

the stability of the administration, and
intends to keep It stable.
Washington, and to a lesser degree
the whole country, are Interested In
plans for the Inauguration, but Mr.
Cooiidge seems rather bored by the
matter. He seemingly doesn't espe
cially want either an Inaugural parade
or an Inaugural ball, buL-**y» If they
are held lie supjjoßeS~"he will partici
pate.
PRESIDENT COOUDGE and Secre
* tary of the Treasury Mellon held a
conference on the tax situation and'U
was made known that the program of
the administration would be to post
pone any extensive revision of revenue
laws until the regular session of con
gress convening in December, 1925.
Because no satisfactory data showing
to what extent the present law will cut
revenues will be available before the
end of the calendar year 1925, Secre
tary Mellon has been Informed that
It would be folly to tinker with the
present law either during the coming
winter or at a special session In the
spring. The President is on record
as favoring a further tax reduction
as soon as feasible, but in view of the
Information given him by Mr. Mellon
he will not seek such action at the
coming short session.
WHILK the mortal remains of Hen
ry Cabot Lodge were being laid
away In Cambridge, Mass., after
a simple ceremony attended by many
distinguished men und women, the na
tional capital was speculating as to
his' successors as senator, as floor
leader of the senate and as chairman
of the foreign relations committee.
Governor Cox of Massachusetts settled
the first point by appointing William
M. Butler, Q. O. P. national chairman,
to fill the vacant senate chair. Senator
Borah, It Is conceded, will becom£
chairman of the foreign relations com
mittee, -and the position of floor lead
er lies between Senators Jumes W.
Wadsworth, Jr., of New York, and
Charles Curtis of Kansas, both of
whom were associated with Mr. Lodge
In that work.
IF YOD have any Liberty bonds or
federal savings stumps It might be
well to Investigate their genuineness,
for the government secret service In
the Middle West hus uncovered a ring
that has been flooding the country
with forged, counterfeited and altered
securities of those kinds. Warrants
were Issued In Chicago for a large
number of persons and some of them
already are under arrest. . Chief of
these Is Ben Kewmark, assistant state
Are marshal of Illinois.
TREASURY and customs agents an
nounced In Washington that they
had broken up another huge conspir
acy, this time of Jewelry smugglers
who have brought much stuff Into the
country. At least two murders have
been directly connected with the smug
gling ring. Both
The first was that of Mrs. Theresa
Mors, Jeweler and antique desler, for
whose death "Kid" McCoy Is being
held; the other was that of Harry L.
Katz. who was shot dpwn a few days
ago. The treasury was Informed that
a man named Medlanskl, now In flight
to a foreign country, was the person
who actually had brought the Jewelry
In.
JOHN PHILIP HILL of Baltimore,
congressman and foe of the Vol
stead law, has had his test In court
and came out with (lying colons. Tried
on charges of violating the dry act by
manufacturing Intoxicating wine and
cider at his home, he was acquitted by
a Jury In the United States district
court In the course of the trial Judge
Soper gave the opinion that the clause
of the Volstead act defining beverages
of more than one-half of 1 per cent al
coholic content as Illegal did not apply
to home-made wines and cider, provid
ed the product was nonlntoxlcatlng "In
fact" Judge Soper also Indicated by
his rulings and his charge to the Jury
that the burden rested upon the gov
ernment to show that such home pro
ducts were Intoxicating In fact and a
violation of the law.
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel
of the Anti-Saloon league, analys
ing the results of the election,
says 820 of the 482 candidates for the
bouse at representatives Indorsed by
the drys were successful, and the wets
elected 82 of the 174 candidates they
Indorsed. He adds: "Of the 33 sena
tors elected 17 who were re-elected are
listed as dry, one Is outspokenly wet
and two vote for most enforcement
legislation, while all hut two of the
13 newly elected senators are favor
able to prohibition enforcement. Most
of these were fought by the wets."
FOR several days It was feared that
the strike of railway employees In
Austria for higher wages would have
serious International results, Two or
three of the lines crossing Austria and
which were tied up by the Btrike are
of utmost Importance to mid-European
commerce and there were indications
that Italy and Czechoslovakia might
seek to -Intervene. Chancellor Selpel
offered his resignation but carried on
and finally the strike was settled by
comprgpiise. This Is well for Austria,
for . the country cannot afford to lose
the guidance of the able Mgr. Selpel.
\/f ÜBBOLINI, declaring recently that
he would continue to rule Italy
and If necesuury would recommend the
dissolution of parliament and the
proclamation of a dictatorship, is mak
ing good so far, and seems to have bis
enemies cowed. The new session of
parliament opened quietly but 785
members of the opposition remained
away. They Issued a manifesto de
claring they would absent themselves
"so long as the present oppression
continues," assailing the recent elec
tion as gagged and attacking the good
faith of the oath to the king which
the Fasclstl took.
/~V PPONENTS of Mustapha Kemal
I'usha, president of Turkey, led
by Former Premier Haouf Bey, resigned
from Kemal's People's party and
formally organized the first opposition
party. As they Include many men of
great Influence, some of whom were
named In this review last week, they
are expected to give Kemal a lot of
trouble.
OUPPORTERS of the republic In
Germany, of whom Foreign Win-
Inter Stresemann has declared himself
the leader, were much encouraged by
a teat election for the diet In the dls
trict of Anhalt which ahowed losses
for both the Nationalists and the com
munists. Stresemann has cut loose en
tirely from the Monarchists, saying It
la Impossible to work with them. It
is predicted thatpin the elections of
December 7 the communists will sus
tain their biggest defeat since the
armistice, for the workmen are return
ing to the Socialist Democratic party.
MARSHAL CHANO TSO-LIN of
Manchuria Is now taking steps to
set himself up aa the real ruler of
China, and will go to Peking as aoon
aa military discipline has been estab
lished. Already he has made some
Important changes In officials and
promises more, and it seems likely
Oenersl Feng will have to take a back
seat. Chang has expressed s willing
ness to confer with Tusn Chl-Jul, Anfu
leader, whose Intervention haa caused
to be restored to the former emperor
the summer palace and all his personal
effects. The leaders will meet In Tien
tsln. General Wo Pel Fu haa not given
up the flght and ten provlncea are
counted on to support him. Most of
these are In the Yangtse region so the
scene of 4the civil warfare may be
shifted lit that direction.
EMMA GOLDMAN, veteran an
archist, who was deported from
the United States and went back to
Russia, la In England telling the truth
about bolshevlsm as she saw It. She
says the bolshevik leaders have given
the country tyranny** Instead of liberty
and are the arch-counter-revolutlonlsts
of the world today. "Let me warn all
people that bolshevlsm Is an Interna
tlonal disease," said MUs Goldman to
a gathering of London intellectuals.
"You may think that It will not come
here because you have only a few
communists. It doesn't take many to
destroy, but It does take many In
build. The whole world must be
warned to protect ltaelf against this
foal thing."
Disregarding this expert testimony
snd lots more like It, Senstor Borah
advocates recognition of the soviet
government of Russia by the United
States "as a necessary step toward
the economic rehabilitation of Rs
rooe."
