I do not know vhis name ; I only know he heard God's voice and came. No pealing trumpet thunders fbrth his fame; He lived, hei died: I do not know his name. But a few of the. heroic adven turers left authentic records that defy the effects of oblivion. Prince nf tVip nlrmeprs is Abraham. He lived, as his ancestors had lived, in the fertile valley of Mesopota mia, a great landowner and shep herd: ' ' Lot his nephew, was also rich. And there was strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cat tle. More pasture was needed for their flocks, and to their neighbors that was a sufficient explanation of their of the Pilgrim Fathers and of so many other important movements in history. Now the Lord said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, un- ' to a land that I will shew thee. And he went ouj, not know ing whither he went Cummings (with an "s"). Worry kills more people of mid dle and advanced age than all of the infectious and preventable dis eases. So the recent convention of Life Insurance presidents was told. Old age pensions might prolong many lives. My own observation leads me to believe that nobody really knows much about keeping himself in good health until he has reached the age where whatever he does doesn't matter much.

Speaking of the old flax seed poultice, it is by no means an out cast, for, many good surgeons em nlnv it with satisfaction. As a The boy may have his wish, if there's anything to the law of averages. In the past 158 years the United States has been engaged in six major wars, averaging about 2bl4 years ' apart. The last one ended late in 1918. That would make the next one due about 1944. The history of human progress. is, after all, mainly a history of war. Put two contradictory na tional cultures in close juxtaposi tion and sooner or later they'll fight. HONESTY on labela Senator Copeland of New York has rewritten the so-called "Tug well Bill" regulating the labelling and advertising of food and drugs. All that the proposed law does, in its present form, is to insist upon honest labels of packaged foods and drugs, telling exactly what is inside of them, and making no pro fessions that theywill "cure" cer tain diseases for which medical science knows no cure. In. other words, all that the law would require, if enacted in its present form, is common honesty on the part of the makers of pack aged products. I think that a lot of ballyhoo has been raised over the presumed danger to public health under pres ent conditions. With the Govern ment promoting the sale of alco- i i i: r r nunu nquur lur mc sane ui revenue, i it doesn't seem to have much of a leg to stand on in the matter of "protecting" people against the ef fects of what they put into their stomachs.
