A torpid liver wrecks both health

Review of Reviews.
We shall have a good eons crop
of nearly .’i.tX>o.<MKt.ooO bushels—of vi
tal important*- to the Middle West and
the livestock industry. Cotton seem
ed destined to make a great crop this
year, with 4t>,44S,(MKt acres planted:
S.'.l per cent, more than last yetft's,
which made a record. Earlier it was
estimated that the crop would be 14,-
■'viy.Uiai bales, but serious droughts
in Texas and Oklahoma have brought
down the estimate by ToO.OOO bales.
The all-important tiling in surveying
our farming activities tics year is that
owing to very much better prices for
wheat, corn, oats, i-aule. hogs, etc.,
with a fair volume of production, tile
equilibrium has nearly been restored
between the purchasing power of
farmers and that of the rest of the
country. Only a little over a year
ago, according to an interesting cal
culation for South Dakota, the pur
chasing power of thirteen representa
tive agricultural commodities applied
to lion-agricultural products was only
70 per cent, as compared with condi
tions bi-fore the World War. In June.
19-o. this composite purchasing pow
er had risen to IKS 1-2 per cent-. In
other words, the farmer is no longer
at any substantial disadvantage, com
pared with pre-war conditions, in ex
changing his wheat, corn, cattle, and
other crops for furniture, motor cars,
clothing, and the various articles he
must buy.
Fader a new ordinance in Port
Arthur. Texas, it is unlawful for the

How Faith Cures and Similar
Healings Are Brought About
Monroe Journal.
Taking a broad view of the subject
one can find no just cause to be at
outs with faith healing and healing
by any other method which springs
from the same source ami meets tho
same demand. It is only when the
(lowßright dishonest and the preten
tious manipulate these agencies is
there danger in ordinary cases fiat
harm will be done. ■
Such danger as there is comes from,
the fact that the practitioners are
prom- to go beyond bounds and lead
people to rely upon them in cases
where they should know that the.V
have no power. To say that faith
will cause to see a blind man whose
eyes have been destroyed is an ab
surdity and ucruelty. Yet fail’ll may
cause lo see one who has become blind
from functional disarrangement. The
fatal part of the whole faith business
is that it makes no distinctions be
tween what is possible and what is
impossible.
Where it admitted that some blind
ness can be cured by "faith’’ and
other Blindness can not be cured by
the'same “faith." the bottom of the
whole faith proposition falls out,
hence practitioners will never admit
the distinction.
The faith proposition has made such
an impression upon the country that
a committee of the general Episcopal
church has taken note of it and will
make a report this, fall to a general
convention of the Episcopal ('lurch
assembled in New Orleans. The
writers of this report evidently know
the limitations of faith healing and
so arc more tliuu circumspect in their
position.
The subject has received the care
ful study of competent persons and
the better informed physicians of the
country, and especially, the students
of psychology and of the crincipFs
of mental hygiene understand it very
thoroughly. The various sects of
healers have eoino about in response
to a demand! Wherever there is a
demand there will be a supply of
some kind. People are always sick,
restless, unsatisfied or unhappy, and
quite naturally they are looking for
cures. People are always searching
for greater peace of mind, for relief
from ten thousand forms of anxiety.
Such people are not .to be censured
for seeking cures or relief wherever
the hope of relief is held out. And
those who profess To bring the relief
are not necessarily hypocritical, for
they do bring relief in many cases.
At least relief comes from the contact
of the healer with the sufferer.
It is pretty well established that
whatever relief comes is not the effect
of any healing power of the agent,
but arises out (if an inherent but dor
mant power of the patient himself.
The same disease may be cured by
prayer, by hypnotism, by herbs, by
incantations, by secret remedies, by
long hail-ed healers and short haired
healers, by the laying on of hands, by-
The Approaching "Peace Pact.”
Review of Reviews.
Highly creditable to the govern
ments of France and Great Britain
has been the agreement upon the
terms of a reply to the German note
of' several weeks ago. The Germans
- wish to join in immediate negotia
tions on the basis of these latest pro
posals and there now seems good pros
pect of a so-called security pact that
will be generally considered as a long
step towards permanent peace. It is
needles* to say < more at this point on
these movements in European 'diplom
acy, because Mr. Himoicis, elsewhere
in this number, brings the European
situation up to date with his usual
clarity, fairness and keen inteWgene*.
Mr. Simonds sweeps rapidly through
a saries of international situations,
and thep devotes himself, in two or
three chapters, to the present prob
lems of Great Britain, these being!
’jfe >
the concord daily tribune
charms, by salves, and ointments, by
electricity, by anything under the sun j
that the healer professes to use. And
the same remedies will cure any and
all kinds of diseases. The whole
substances of them all is that they
i arouse in the patient a marshalling of
his own resources .and he cures him
self. All type* of diseases that are
cured are of that kind which come
from a breaking down of normal and
healthy functions of the mind Tuid the
nervous system, in short, are diseases
of the imagination. And though the j
curses are often real, they are none
the less results of the imagination.
A well known authority on this
subject says that the chronic invalid
will almost surely and quite naturally
take the advice of a man who says
confidently. "I can cure you.” "Who
would not? Would not you or I if
we had been pronounced hopelessly?
ill. if we had spent years in fruit
lessly seeking health only to see it
gradually falling from us? Why not
at least try?—it can do no harm, and
then this same man cured Smith and
Jones and perhaps he may cure me.
It surely is worth a trial. This ar
gument is controlling if we have no
standards of comparison that we have
made our own by which we may judge
the rea value of the claims set both.
It must be remembered, that,
many of these practitioners are sin
cere in their beliefs and really think
that they can do what they claim,
and we must not forget that they do
succeed in doing what they claim, at
least apparently, in a sufficient num
ber of cases to give some warrant for
tiicir faith in themselves and for the
faith of others in-them.”
Only when the suffering of people
and their desire for help are made to
subserve’ dishonesty in the practi
tioners. or when the over zeal of the
practitioner leads him to go beyond
the legitimate fields of his powers and
. thus work injury to the patient, as
many of them do, can there be cause
for much condemnation. People who
; think that they are the means where
by such people are benefitted art? not
to he condemned so long as they are
honestly trying to heal and not mere
ly making the thing a matter of fraud!
: and gain.
In our opinion the medical profes
sion has not yet taken sufficient no-!
tice of such truth as lies at the but-?
tom of this kind of healing, but have;
: to a large extent turned the whole
thing over to the exploitation of peo-1
pie who are often unfit for its prac-S
tice. The medical men are often
hostile to, and ignorant of. tfrjs form
'd healing as the professional liealeij
is of medicine. So long as this
tude continues we shall have the full
crop of healers of all kinds, some off
them sincere and ready to rmaignize
their limitations, some of them .too?
ignorant to admit of limitatfoiis. ami
still others who are mere chariot aim
deliberately practicing upon the fen rsy
the hopes and rtie tragedies of their
‘ victims.,
mainly in the spheres of industry and
-commerce. The background of the
policies that Premier Baldwin has sue
cessfiffly launched is set fortn by Mr. !
Siuionds tin pages of economic history ;
that are as instructive as his former
studies from time to time of diplomats

LOOKING At TUB OTHER SIDE
Gastonia Gazette.
Everybody's asking about Florida.
Thousands of people are pulling up
stakes and going to that state, large
ly as a result of the stories tieurd 6n
every hand of fortunes made in a few
days or a few weeks. Little or noth
ing is heard of the other side—the
failures, the fellows who sink tile
earnings of years with little prospect
of getting it back. Occasionally there
rieklee bade a word or two of eau
, tion. Here is one from The York
ville Enqmrer of Tuesday:
’’The more I saw of Florida the
prouder I am that I live in Y’ork
county.”
That was the reply of .7. C. Mack
orell, successful Y'orkville business
man in reply to the question of views
and interviews, if he hqd bought him
self rich while visiting Florida last
week.
“No, I did not buy and Florida
property and I have no intentiton of
doing so,” Mr. Mackorel! went on.
“There's nothing to it other than a
big inflation of real estate values, and
there are hundreds of people putting
their mouey in Florida real estate
who will never live long enough to
get their money buck, to say nothing
Os a profit. To besurc the people who
are in on the ground floor are making
and heve made big fortunes from their
investinents, but the man who is in
vesting now is simply throwing his
money away.
“I went across the state from
Jacksonville to Miami by bus, and
there are miles and miles and miles
of absolutely undeveloped land, land
tSiat is being used for nothing what
ever—no farming, manufacturing in
dustries or anything else. The homes
away from the cities with only one
here and there, are nothing to com
pare with the homes you see York
county and in the Piedmont section
of this state. They "are mostly little
shack*, hardly bigger than a good
sized garage that you see around
here. • .
“But Tand and especially building
lots, are being sold at very high tig-',
ores. Just opposite the hotel where
I stopped at Miami was a lot
possibly a 100 foot frontage. I was
told that the owner bad refused an
offer of $85,000 for it, and' the lot
next to it which was occupied by a
srnall building was, I suppose, being
held at a like high figure. To get,
any revenue from either qf them 1C
would be necessary to put Up a build
ing a half mile high and half mile,
down. ' ,
“I was told that some of the resi
dential lots which ware being -offered
for sale were at least lour, miles from
the center of town and were held at
around SIOO a front foot, and the
lots, all put down on surveyor's maps,
could not eyanf be found. Tfi» de

That was all to home later with money
paid is by the lot buyOte.
“No, I did not bny any Florida
property add I don't think that I,
want any of it,” concluded Mr. Mack

New York, N. Y.—Every summer

A few minutes” delay may prove

of the three kinds of more or leas

a child can learn to use It success

A pamphlet, Issued by the Jdetro

the method. The colorless and odor

from the exhaust of an automobile
and also present in the artificial gas
commonly used for. heating and
lighting, in “coal gas” fumes from a
coal furnace, is continually taking
victims, all of whom could be saved

giving artificial respiration is as
follows: “When the victim is out

follow these Instructions even If the
victim appears to be dead:
“Quickly feel with your fingers

If the mouth is tight shut, pay no

"Lay the patient on his belly, one
