?J \f Aitliar Bftii flOOD RELIEF SESSION lesson FOR UNCLE SAM your important cells WOMEN NATURAL TEACHERS The President will call a special iession of Congress for October, to take up the Mississippi flood disaster and the prevention ques tion. The sooner prevention is discu^ed and arranged the better. The American Congress and people have a great faculty for forgetting _*ven a two billion-doJIar calamity Vjnd "OOiOO# people being made homeless. '\ . < > . c~> Twice in succession, American fliers have crossed the Atlantic at one "hop," Lindbergh flying to Paris, Chamberlin, with Levine, almost t? Berlin. ^ What will military and naval gentlemen say now about their theory that "The airplane is no real menace to this country?" Out of two attempts to fly across v the ocean by American fliers, both racceed. What would be the probable percentage of success if five thou sand foreign aviators, with fu^l government backing and unlimited expenditure of money, should fly the other way on a hostile er rand? Americans should take to heart the lesson that Lindbergh and Chamberlin have taught us and get ready to keep hostile fliers away from this continent. ? Five or ten thousand first-class planes, carrying mail parcels and passengers in peace, rfeady to take on machine guns in war, would be the best investment this rich nation could make. Golf, according to acddeat Insur ance companies, comes third among "dungerous sports." Vic tims of 4S1 jrolf doddents col lected iMwaw \Mt JW. Twelve for "cuts with cfrrt*} tastraaartA* The instruments r*ra on the "19th hole." However, for one man injured at golf, one hundred die for lack of exercise, so play golf. > ; A German scientist says your heart'is less important than the billions of cells that make up your body. The heart is important, of course, but the cells, eating, drink ing, digesting, each living a separ ate life, are more important than the heart, even in blood circulation. The human body is like a nation. Brain and heart are the govern ment. The cells are the citizens, and most important . Dr. Mendelssohn, tof Berlin Uni versity, says, "The secret of life is the ability^ of living cells to effect change of matter and absorb and eject fluids. This change of fluids seems to be the principal cause of blood circulation." The secret of making life worth while is the ability of the living brain to accept- and absorb new ideas. That is the principal cause of human progress. . , y c' \ ' Students at Oxford worry be cause women are to teach there. "Isis," read by the Oxford young gentlemen, says that will eventual ly lead to a sex war, and is "a so cial revolution of the utmost sig nificance." Women are natural teachers; teaching has been their business from the beginning; teaching chil dren, teaching husbands. Hypatia, a better mathematician and philosopher than her father, Theon, was one of the greatest teachers that ever lived, until fan atical early Christian monks tore her from her chariot, as she was going to her school, and murdered her, more than 1,500 years ago. e The College boy or adult citizcn lacking respect for women or con fidence in their power, judgment and goodness, pays a poor compli ment to his own mother,.

C) 0 i.l e name .'G Address We cordially invite you to attend our Meetings each Sunday evening at 7 P, M. ^ ^ i - i INQUIRIES Sometimes my readers write me, asking about little things not made clear in my letters to this paper? I thank them for the indirect con fidence?sometimes for criticisms indulged. I cannot, of course, un dertake the treatment of diseases by mail; have all I can do at home; but, a self-addressed, stamped en velope will bring an immediate reply from me, in the interest of good newspaper service. I have been asked recently what foods are most likely to make a "lizy" liver worse. Sometimes a lazy liver is an over-loaded, tired liver, net a lazy one. Hence I rieply that, an overload of any kind of food will aggravate an over-loaded liver?fruits being the least harm ful. The specific article of diet that I forbid, when dealing with an engorge^ Jiver is, (Starch, in its many forms,( such as boiled or mashed potatoes, dry beans, white bread, and the like. The liver func tions largely as a starch-transform er, and cannot do more tl "'n it is able to do. ? One writer remonstrates?that fats work harm in "liver troubles"; referring to animal fats, I suppose I have forbidden all meat-fats in gall-bladder cbnditions, but these are not "liver-troubles." Fat meats are not good in gall-bladder infec tions; dairy fats, butter, cream &c. in small quantity, do much less, if rfny harm. And, the vegetable oils, olive oil particularly have a reputation for being beneficial, among the older clinicians. Every liver case is a law unto itself, and should be referred to the family physician, whether acute, subacute, or chronic.,, Especially after forty-five should all suspicion of liver disease be investigated* A stitch in time may save $e\reral yards of catgut. >r J ' ?? (Next week: Hot Weather Hints) YOUTH KILLED BY TRAIN NEAR WAYNESVTLLE Wayncsvillc, .June 20?Taking no notice of warning erics from frien/ls Levi Jenkins,, 17 years old, sat upon the Southern Railway )racks near his home late Sunday and was run^ over and killed by a freight train. Young .Tenkins apparently had been seated upon the tracks lor some time when a party of friends passed by shortly after 7 o'clock and hailej him. lie spoke to them. Just after they passed the freight approached and the party moved off the tracks. Looking back, they saw the youth still Kitting on the tracks, his head in his hands, Apparently in deep study or in a melancholy mood. Seeing the danger, they called sharply to him, but he paid no heed. The freight whistle blew loudly, and there was a grinding of brakes sis the engineer sought to stop before reaching the spot where the boy was seated, but his efforts were inv vain, and young Jenkins apparently was instantly killed. Levi Jenkins was a son of Mr. and Mi's. Joseph Jenkins, who live on the Welch farm between Lake Junaluska and Waynesville. The tragedy happen ed near the farm. He is survived by his parents and several brothers and sisters. Funeral services were to be held Monday afternoon, with burial in Pleasant Hill Cemetery at Clyde.
