Kresge Bldg. (Official City, State and County Newspaper) WHICH APPEALS TO YOU? Every time you speak a good word for your town you Speak two for yourself, for the home booster is always respected by home lovers. It’s an easy thing to make a nasty remark about your home town, but it is difficult to stop that remark from traveling after it has once been uttered. The monkey in the jungle swings from limb to limb and from tree to tree at remarkable speed, but the monkey is a snail compared to the caustic remarks and comments of a chronic pessimist. ’ The monkey does not berate either the limbs of the + trees, for they are his home—they mean safety and ? tomfort to him. The pessimist, however, is not as considerate. His happiest moments are when he is slamming his home town. Nothing is right. None of its numerous citizens possess the ability to perform civic duties in the proper manner. Other persons are unable to see the glaring defects that are so plain to him. He lives in darkness and radiates gloom. He is simply a pessimist, and the work of the pessi- imist is too often destructive. But why be a pessimist? Why not an optimist in- _ ptead? Pessimism is worse than rheumatism. The one puts a few joints out of proper working order, but the other is a drag to the mind, the body and the soul. Station yourself on a street corner in a large city and watch the people go by for an hour. Ninety-nine out of a hundred will be happy, and cheerful, and con- tented. They are optimists unawares. The rays of the noonday sun are not brighter or warmer than the smiles upon their lips or the humanity in their hearts. The hundredth man may be different. He may be the odd sheep in the flock, the cloud that dims the bright- ness of the community light. He is a pessimist, and he ‘mows it. His soul is shrouded in gloom from which he aever seeks to escape. He is a bore even to himself. The pessimist is never happy—the optimist is seldom aad. It is possible to be either, but-never both. Which appeals to you? ARE YOU EDUCATED? It seems to be about time that we had a statement of our definition of education. We are demanding things of the person we call educated which we may _ have no right to demand of him. The tendency to look on the educated as @ super- intellectual seems to be a hang-over from the days | when Oliver Goldsmith modestly confessed to a yearn- ing “amidst the swains to show my book-learned skill;” when he pictured the rustics ranged around the village schoolmaster discoursing in “words of learned length ‘and thundering sound: And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew that one small head could carry all covery that her beauty was not even skin deep may ac- count for the manner in which he left her. en sre sisters under the powder and paint. THE FAKED FIDDLE Sometimes it does seem as if it hardly paid a man to | struggle after the truth. | Joseph Brennan of New York had a violin—an heir- loom, h¥nded down by his grandfather. Brennan for years pfized it highly. It bore a label with the name “Gaurnerius,” and Brennan’s life was made contented and happy with the thought that this fiddle was a mas- 00 | terpiece—an instrument worth probably $100,000. But Brennan, the other day, decided to seek the exact truth. He went to an expert. And the expert cruelly told him that his violin was a fake, and not even a very good fake, worth perhaps $100 at the most. Now the violin, instead of sweetening and brighten- ing his life, is a source of unhappiness and regret. How- ever praiseworthy the pursuit of knowledge may be, Brennan would be far, far better off if he had con- tinued to take the superlative excellence of his ances- tral fiddle on trust. WHEN THE PHONE BELL RINGS We are pretty well used to the telephone, which al- ways can be counted on to ring just when you are tak- ing a bath, drifting off to sleep or taking the ashes out of the furnace. But Europeans consider the telephone a nuisance and an invader of privacy. It is interesting to learn that Alexander Graham Bell, who invented it, eventually came to look on it as the Eupropeans do. Catherine Mackenzie, in a forth- coming biography of the inventor, says: “Bell deplored the casual manners his invention had introduced. Nobody, he said, would dream of coming to one's house and demanding an audience while one emptory demands by telephone.” A European doubtless would say that Bell’s dismay was, after all, only justice. MICHAEL AND PILSUDSKI Nations, that support kings occasionally have the privilege of staging a highly comic spectacle at which they cannot laugh. Marshal Joseph Pilsudski, former dictator of Poland, visited Rumania the other day. Since Poland and Ru- mania want to be friendly, he went to the palace and called on Rumania's boy king, little Michael. Press dis- patches gravely stated that Pilsudski “was received in audience” ‘by the little chap. There is something inexpressibly humorous in the thought of Poland’s grizzled old warrior going into a big throne room to “pay his respects,” with all the age- old pomp demanded by the situation, to a curly-headed little boy like Michael. That sort of thing, at least, our demociatic government spares us. POLITICAL KNOCK-DOWN-DRAG-OUTS There have been a good many expressions of regret | because the convention of Texas Democrats culminated | in a free-for-all row. | Our politics, some commentators seem to feel, ought to be above that sort of thing. We can’t agree. On the contrary, we think it’s an} excellent sign. When men feel deeply enough about | candidates and issues to punch one another’s jaws, noses and eyes, they are at least taking an active in- terest in the welfare of their country. The campaign to worry about is the campaign that does not call forth one single bloody nose. So long as the voters are not in- different, the republic is safe. | Editorial Comment | THE OLD GAME SLIPPING (Thrift Magazine) Now, for the first time in the last half century or more, baseball has been relegated to a secondary place of popularity with American young manhood. Here are the terrible figures, showing the numbers of teams in the six most popular municipal sports last year: Play- ground ball, 16,129; baseball, 14,676; basket ball, 13,052; volley ball, 6,179; horse-shoes, 4,901, and soccer, 3,493. What has gotten into the youth of America, any- way? ‘Have we at last reached the period of decadence to which pessimists have been alluding for, lo, these many years? Are we, as a nation of people, beginning to fall apart like a used car or a mail-order bedstead? We might expect to see Uncle Sam shave off his whiskers, the he knew.” The sum total of things to be known has increased ‘many hundredfold since those days, so that even Gold- emith’s village master might be considered as nothing femarkable. From this great store of knowledge the @ehools pick out certain things which are worth know- Sng and attempt to impart this knowledge to boys and } girls. We can remember only a small part of what is hus learned, and the chances are that when we meet Bomeone who has remembered the same things which jwe have remembered we call him educated. ‘This, of course, is wrong. Some of us may know | Bhings which we did not learn in school. It is con- eeivable that a man may be a most excellent teacher "| fm some line without having heard of Eli Whitney, and ~} Wt also is conceivable that one may be able to answer | | all of the Edison questions and still be a failure as a feacher, SELF-SERVICE Many good folk are lamenting the passing of the | ra when men and women consecrated their lives to "| @mselfish service and prepared themselves to beco1 ' | ministers, missionaries, teachers or country doctors that they might administer to the spiritual, mental and needs of humanity without thought of large ‘worldly gain. They are not in error when they charge | that modern men and women are choosing vocations to- day in which they can do the greatest service to them- | pelves. | People today are coming to the belief that the best ‘way they can help others is to produce much that their profit shall be large and that they shall. never become nt upon society. The old idea of service was di- The new service is indirect. Twenty years ago it “was still thought that only ministers, doctors aud teach- ers served humanity. Today every workman who car- 4 his whole day's wage home is known to have earned x ‘wage in service to society. ‘Elbert Hubbard’s version of the Golden Rule was, “Do unto others as though you were the others,” but Star Spangled Banner lose its high note, the White House painted red, and the Dome of the Capitol torn down to make room for a garage, but we can hardly picture Young America losing interest in baseball. WILL HAVE HIS FLING (Los Angeles Express) Henry Ford has reached a stage in his development enabling him to give rein to instincts long suppressed. Still a young man, he takes pleasure in behaving like one, Having made provision for his old age and barred the door against the entry of the wolf, he feels that he is entitled to a little relaxation. Leaving Son Edsel to keep office, Father Henry roams far afield. Provided that he gets word every week or ten days that the boys in the shop are sticking to the new model, he is content to enjoy life in his simple, ol shioned way. But he must have a care against the contraction of wasteful habits. It is so easy to slip into spendthrift ways. Witness the extravagance he committed last week at Providence, R. I. After a luncheon consisting of a glass of hot water and a small vegetable salad Hea tipped the waiter a dollar bill. This was inex- cusable, What sort of service will the next man wanting a pies of hot water and a small vegetable salad get if in his turn he doesn’t produce a dollar bill? On the whole, we think Mr. Ford would better return to his former moderate practice and confine his luncheon tips to an order for a new car. A SPASM OF PROGRESS (The Nation) Television by radio, gas bullets that can be fired around corners, practi color cameras, three kinds of talking motion pictures, automatic repairing machines for silk stockings—we are dizzy with the multitude and of inventions ‘that have been announced in the last few weeks. The summer of 1928 should be remembered in history as a continuous spasm of progress. The surprising’ thing about most of these inventions is the anonymity of the inventors. We remember Stephenson and Morse Bell; our chi will see their pictures in the schoolbooks for many generations. But what name emerges from the brilliant summer of 1928 as im- mortal? The average American could not mention a single name as associated with any of the recent great inventions. Yes, perhaps he could mention one name, that of George Eastman, in connection with the color camera. But who invented the color camera? Not Mr. Eastman or even the able head of his research labora- tories, Dr. C. E.

[IN NEw YORK — | _IN NEW YORK © | ° | New York, Sept. 26.—They have tucked Coney Island into bed for another winter. And it takes a cold wind, some 200,000 people, a few million tiny circles of confetti and a few hun- nize this annual hibernation. Coney crawls into its gaudy chambers each September, falls into a sort of coma after the last reveler has staggered away and awakens again only when the hot dog merchants chant long and late. A i Nothing is, at least to me, more melancholy than Coney on those drear, dripping days of early au- dred miles of serpentine to solem-| i tumn. The sea laps greedily at the long stretch of abandoned sand. Here and there a workman ham- mers away at boards that soon will encase the gilt faces of the myriad shows. Here and there a_ lone straggler huddles into his coat and leans against the boardwalk rail, to watch the gulls brood over the water. The surf now makes its voice heard, for in the mad mid-summer scramble it is shouted down by the voices of the crowds, Coney again becomes a symbol of the changing seasons! * { At the opening of Jack Demp- sey’s show, floral presents came in every form and shape.

TUBERCULOSIS The number of deaths from tuber- culosis per thousand population is steadily decr.asing each year. In 1912 the number of deaths per 100,- 000 was 130, and the number has gradually decreased until the latest censuses have shown a reduction to 75.7 per 100,000, This steady de- crease in the number of deaths is probably due to improved sanitary measures that are now being em- ployed throughout the world, and to a better upderstanding by the general public &s to foods. ‘Fhe _anti-tuberculo! societies have been of much value in spread- ing information about this disease and in teaching people to avoid be- coming overly tired. It is likely that the number of deaths from this dis- ease will be still further reduced as the information about how to build and maintein health becomes more! Popular. © ‘rom my personal experience in diagnosing and treating thousands of cases of tuderculosis, I have been forced to believe that the most com- mon causes of tuberculosis are: first, an immovable diaphragm and a small chest capacity; second, becoming over tired, which lowers the resist- ance and permits the toxins to ac- cumulate within the body; thi wrong eating, which permi e body to become seriously deficient in alkaline elements. ‘uberculosis of the lungs origin- ates with foreign material which ac- cumulates in the lungs of the suf- ferer. I do not believe that the ba- cillus of tuberculosis is a primary cause of this trouble, since I have seen many advanced cases where it has been impossible to find any trace of this bacillus. A quick form of tuberculosis known as galloping consumption us- ually causes death between the first and third months. Those cases which recover usually settle into chronic tuberculosis. This disease may lurk in any por- tion of the body, but is most fre- quently found in the lungs, usually beginning in the apex or upper lobe. The onset is quite gradual and there usually is a period of months or even years of a noticeable tendency to be- come easily tired. This condition, accompanied by a persistent cough and large quantities of mucus should arouse suspicion and one should im- mediately begin a_ process of strengthening the body. Night sweats often occur in the earlier stages of the disease and a patient may feel as tired in the morning as when he retires.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: H. A. asks: “Can you give me a little information about St. John’s Bread?” Answer: St. John’s Bread fs the common name for the fruit of the Carob tree. Although a tree in form, it is a species of legume and the fruit ped like a bean. The trees are very beautiful and are being used to some extent along the highways. They are very productive even in arid climates. The fruit imported from Europe is of a poor quality and full of crude fibre. Large plan- tations are now being out in California and other parts of the United States. The fruit contains as high as 52 per cent of sugar. With the process of cultivation, it ‘s likely that this fruit will become val- uable. It can be made into a very good substitute for maple syrup. Question: Mrs. K. J. writes: “On three occasions during the past year I have been awakened from sleep with a numbne’s creeping over me, Have tried to call for help but could not move my lips, neither could I raise my hand or any part of my body for about a minute. I would appreciate it if you would infor me of the cause, and if there is di ger of paralysis. I am thirty ye old and weigh 130 pounds.” Answer: The numb attacks you have at night are probably caused from nervousness and would be classed under the name of hysteria, There is no reason for suspecting you are subject to paralysis because of this, but you certainlyshould have 8 good diagnosis made and study how to remove the cause of your nervous- ness, Question: J.L. asks: “Can a loo in the colon be cured by dieting?” Answer. A loop in the colon can be corrected through proper manipu- lative treatment, supplemented in some cases by certain electrical treatments. If these treatments are not taken we cannot expect diet to roduce ature, although one with a inked or looped colon will certain|: be in betéer health on a well-bal- anced diet than when eating ha| hazardly. hear somebody ask “Who won the war?” oe © House rents are 13% per cent cheaper than they were in 1924, Nobody uses houses much any more, .Oh, wad some power the giftie gie us to see oursel’s as ithers see us when we honk our horns in the Sunday parade, .
