Then the even voice of the reader would pick up the tale again. No one knows just how many people tuned in on this program. But those who did expe- Tienced a new kind of tribute. For the mo- |; ment, Lincoln was not just a name, a hallowed 5 tradition; he was a living presence, hovering \: in the air over eastern city* and western : prairie. ': - There was something peculiarly intimate and entered st the postoffice at; dom, and in general, to encourage the juniors: to develop their own views, lines of action and personalities. But the parent has been told this so often that his Victorian domination of the home has by now been effectually undermined. His morale is not what it was. Already he puts up meekly with what his own father would have termed preposterous license in the blessed name of “self-determination.” Is the wretched parent to have no self-ex- pression at all? Is he seriously expected to be- lieve that the more assiduously he vegetates in a corner of the drawing-room, responding dif- fidently only when spoken to and smothering all differences of opinions under a cloak of su- perficial harmony, the better will be the effect on the family. It may be so but, in the face of the steady stream of chastisement that nowadays plays upon him, he will be apt to think that it is high time he took a stand be- fore his spirit is completely broken. That last supposedly inalienable right has now been taken from the parent by the new school of psychology. “Superficial harmony” between parents must be religiously main- tained lest it crop out in their offspring in the form of “superficial discord” in play. | Editorial Comment Senator George’s Candidacy (Atlanta Journal) As typical of what independent and discrim- inating observers think of the candidacy of Senator Walter George for the Democratic presidential nomination, we reproduce else- where in these columns an editorial from thc Christian Science Monitor, a newspaper of na- tional scope and world-wide distinction. To this impartial student of affairs Senator George’s entry appears “a political phenome non well deserving attention.” His“ nomina- tion, it remarks, “would be the first step to- ward breaking down that prejudice against a southern candidate, which thus far has limited the Democrats of the south to the function of providing votes with which to elect their nomi- ness, while prevented from offering one of their own number.” As to the Georgia sena- tor’s fitness for such leadership, “His position on national issues will appeal to very powerful forces within the party organizations,” fox. there is a strong feeling that the nomination should. be one which would leave the party’s about it. You sat in your living room, you turned a dial—and all of a sudden Lincoln be- game alive and real before you. You forgot that you were only hearing a skilled elocution- ist reading a book; for the time you actually : were listening to an old man relating his con- versations with Lincoln, You felt, somehow, \; that you were hearing something authentic : and real. ‘ — Then, as the story ended, came the haunt- : ing harmonies of an old-time negro spiritual. |; These died away, and Handel’s “Largo” welled _: up into the room, rising slowly, powerfully, in « tones of unspeakable sadness and unspeakable | © triumph, as if some unseen organ were pealing | ; out a requiem to a great conqueror. The illusion was perfect.. You were not drawing music and words out of a mechanical * contrivance; the air of America was filled with » @ great chorus in honor of the homely, un- +i gainly man who was born in a wilderness hovel and grew up in a raw frontier town. It was as if the Illinois prairies themselves were giv- ing voice. And it was not Lincoln alone. In_this chorus were represented all the figures, large and small, of Lincoln’s day, the day when the country bred giants. There were marching armies, blue and gray, moving steadily to the sound of fife and drum. There were distant trumpet calls from ancient fields where golden youth was poured out in dauntless heroism. Grant was there, and Seward, and Davis, and Lee, the courtliest, most knightly figure Amer- ica ever produc : _ It was the perfect tribute, finer even than i the marble-pillared memorial that looks out over the lagoon in Washington.

Plenty! All sorts of sieves await it and if it can get itself made law in the face of controversy, it may consider itself lucky. Many persons have forgotten just how a ‘bill be- comes a law, so here’s how: First, the bill is dropped into a These views are of especial interest as| bask showing that Senator George is in the nation’s eye, and that the merit of southern claims to due recognition in the councils of American democracy is acknowledged by fair minds far beyond Dixie’s borders. The Monitor, pub- lished in the heart of New England, but ap- pealing to judicious readers the country over, is well situated to give a poised and represen- tative opinion of the Georgian’s candidacy. Its politics, like that of an increasingly large num- ber of citizens in the east, is nonpartisan. Ii looks for the best man, the best principles, the best promise for America; and so looking, it is sufficiently impressed with the southern movement for George to give the matter a leading place in its editorial discussion. Why Not a Farm Tariff Agreement? (Minneapolis Journal) Republican house leaders have decided, ten- tatively at least, that there is to-be no tariff tinkering by congress until after election. The interdiction is a blanket one, affecting not only any revision of the tariff structure as a whole, but also the emergency bills introduced by Representatives Selvig and Goodwin of Minne- sota, and other western congressmen, raising the duties on certain agricultural products. Congressman Tilson and the other leaders make the sound point that the eve of a presi- dential and congressional election is hardly the time for opening a prolonged tariff debate. They also make an understandable point as to why the agricultural tariff bills must be held up. They could be passed by the house under a special rule that would prohibit any tackling of the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Act as a whole. But their receipt by the senate would let down the bars for an attack on the entire tariff structure by a combination of Democrats and revisionist Republicans. But are Congressman Tilson and his advis- ers certain there is no other way out? Let them remember that the Emergency Tariff Act of 1921, providing urgently necessary in- creases in the agricultural schedules, was passed by the sixty-seventh congress seven months before the house ways and means com- mittee began work on the bill providing for revision of the other schedules, ; The result was achieved, as we understand it, by agreement that the agricultural sched- ules should not wait, owing to an existing emergency on the farms. That an emergency, although not such a crying one as that of 1921, exists today, wi!l not be denied. That the farmer is entitled to all the protection possible in the way of sched- ules gaving for him his domestic market, is scarcely open to debate. That this can be achieved without waiting until after the next crop marketing season, provided senate tarift revisionists of both parties agree to keep hands 4 grown-up folk are lying idle.

It seems that no two schools of | dietetics are in agreement with each other. Even .those dietitians con- cerned wholly with the scientific as- | pects of food seem to be very far apart in their opinions and conclu- sions. This is probably because there are so many “labcratory” dietitians, and so few “prac’ical” ones. The food problem is mad> even more difficult if a religious or ethical aspect is given to it. If one is a firm believer in some particular religion, he is apt to be strongly influenced by references to food found in the text books of those re- ligious or ethical philosophies. It is a great handicap to be bound to dietetic suggestions in such in- spired writings whose principal teachings must be considered to be those advocating good moral con- duct. Human nature has _ not changed very greatly since the story uf creation was written, and those mora! principles which were true then have remained the same helpful “octrines to assist us in liv- dg aha lives today. Nevertheless, man would today be an unhappy primitive, creatcre if it were not for the development along the lines of scientific research. The dominant man of today is one who in addition to living a virtuous life is also keen e1.ough to take advan- tage of modern progress clong scien- tific lines. The sacred teachings regarding moral conduct have been the same in all the religions, and have not changed in any degree through the countless centuries; bu: it is most dreams have been made to come true. It would be as unwise to go back to primitive, undeveloped food as to Dr. McCoy will gladly answer personal questions on health and diet, addressed to him, care of hah oe a ‘i nclose & imped dressed envelope for reply. go back fron the automobile to the cart and horse. No new natural laws have been produced by man. All material achievement has come from man’s better psa of the never- charging laws of nature. These will work for him in just the degree he is able to imagine their possibilities, and “It doth not yet appear what he shall be.” % Any of my readers may address me care of this newspaper and upon request, I will mail to you a special weekly diet that I have prepared for that purpose. Ask for my article called “A Good Curative Diet.” QUESTIONS AND ANSY'ERS Question: B. E. ( | writes: “About ten years ago I fell and landed on my knees, and since then they give way at times and I almost fall. They make a gritting sound, and I wonder if you could tell me something to use as a massage.” Answer: Massage will be of little use to you in correcting the trouble with your knees. Go to a physical culture instructor and havz hima give jyou some exercises which will strengthen ma leg muscles. Some- times the diathermy electrical treat- ment will help in the correction of such troubles caused by accidents. The action of the diathermy current assuredly not true that man’s feat to warm the tissues of the knees terial environmen: and opportunitie: for advancement have remained the same. There is practically no food used on the modern table which re- sembles that used by primitive man. Those tribes living today in a prim- itive state have a very hard time to get enough food to keep alive and many of these tribes are .iterally dying of starvation. 3 ‘When man has had the ingenuity and cunning to use natural forces to the fullest extent, then civilization will be found in its best developed manifestation. The ruling nations of today are those whose food is the most varied and plentiful. If you wish to bene- fit to the fullest extent from the scientific discoveries of man, it is not well to confuse philosophical or moral teachinga with that belonging wholly to the materially scientific realm. What man’s natural food was cen- turies ago was no doubt dictated en- tirely by what he could secure at that time. He dreamed of more food and better, and through experimen- tation with the laws of nature his including the bones. Metabolism in these parts is increased and the ef- fect is far deeper than anything which can be obtained by massage. Question: L. G. asks: “Will you please tell me in your health column the cause, symptoms and cure of a floating or wandering kidney?” Answer: The kidneys are not definitely anchored in an exact i- tion, but change their position slightly with the movements of the body. Those who have a general prolapsus of abdominal organs will find that the kidneys are always lower down than is considered nor- mal. There are seldom any definite symptoms except those which go with the general prolapsus. The backache and seonity eee feelings associated with prolapsus are sel- dom caused by the floating kidneys alone, but come from the general weakness of abdominal and back muscles which allows the prolapsus to exist. The proper cure is in rais- ing these organs tl igh strengthen- ing the abdominal and back muscles by taking suitable setting-up exercises. After all, I suppose I really treat-! ed him shabbily and if I can help him to enjoy his visit I ought to do it even if he does insist upon raking over the past. He is going to stay two weeks, he says, so it looks as if I must give up a lot of time to making him happy again. It isn’t exactly a hardship, though, to bat around with Norman. He always was nice looking, and now that he has that romantically melancholy — expres- sion he’s just too interesting for words. Fortunately, Alan and I agreed before we were married that we would continue to have our own friends and see them whenever we liked. So that’s all right. But he will expect dinner sometime to- night so I mustn't tell you any more about Norman now. With dearest love, MAR “Mom’s” warning. NEXT: NEA Service, Inc.)
