LA (Official City, Sta HOLIDAYS After his country and his family the thing that is dearest to the heart of the European is his holiday. This he will have, though the heavens fall. He may surrender every other luxury before he will give up the days in the week, season or year which he has set aside for his leisure and enjoyment. Week-end vacations of from two to three and one- half days, vacations ranging from two to four weeks at Christmas, Easter and midsummer are religiously observed by the upper and middle class Britishers, and the well-to-do in the continental countries indulge in correspondingly long and frequent leaves of absence. With just as great regularity and assistance those in poor or moderate circumstances observe every “bank,” political and religious holiday, and they have not been sparing with them. It is apparent that the holiday and vacation are not such sacred institutions in this country. They are observed here but not so generally as in Europe. Even Christmas and Independence Day are not so universally ‘observed in the United States as are a dozen “dates” beyond the Atlantic. In this respect probably the only ‘way in which this country excels Europe is in its devotion of Sunday to religious worship, but even here i} there is far less “Sabbath observance” today than in the more puritanical past. However, the two-weeks’ summer vacation is more ‘an institution common to all classes in this country ‘than in any other. Very often it is “with pay,” but where it is “without pay” it is taken nevertheless, Far ™more than half the nation’s wage and salary owners take “off” two weeks out of the fifty-two. As for the American office workers, especially of the feminine gender, the Saturday afternoon half-holiday is as sacred as the religious festival holidays are to the European Peasant. and County Newspaper) THE BEST GOVERNMENT Few persons felt anything but disgust on reading | the public statement of Richard F. Cleveland, son of | the former Democratic president, that “The American | forefathers deliberately chose a form of government which has resulted in the most inefficient government in the weald.2; Many, who are probably as well in- forned on relative governmental costs as Mr. Cleveland, will seriously challenge both the charge that the fore- fathers “deliberately” adopted an inefficient govern- ment and the second allegation that this is the “most inefficient government in the world.” There have been more efficient governments than that of the United States and there have been many | far efficient, but few, if any, have been so easy for the individual to live under. Governments are no better than the people creating them and until there is | m perfect society there can be no perfect government. There have been nations which have been compelled to get along the best they could with the form of govern- ment given them. but the situation here is one where the system of government must get along the best it can with the imperfect citizen given. It is the fault of the people and not of the form of ‘Bovernment that—as Mr. Cleveland says—the voters ‘Bometimes by civic indifference or lack of civic ie responsibility place the incompetent and unscrupulous in public office. i? Close students of the political history, past and cur- ‘rent, of the United States are convinced that the apti- HT tude for self-government of the masses is steadily im- proving, with a resultant increase in the efficiency ‘and benevolence of the government. LIVING TO BE A HUNDRED . So substantially has the nation’s healtth been im- d in recent years that Dr. S. J. Crumbine, director the American Child Health Association, is con- d that many of this generation have a sporting nce to live to be a hundred. His prophecy is that centenarian will have become common by 1936 in ure of an industrial age. Unless the medical gentlemen, who are applying Imowledge to the solution of the problem of y, can prolong at the same time the usefulness the individual to himself and society, there may be 100 have lived to do little else. People full of irs often have room for little else. It is not an uncommon occurrence for men and mn who have lived a full, strenuous and purpose- 60) tion, the highest form of caution, in anticipation, the g | gradually within certain limits should be the attitude of all ration- al beings. But he should be able to discern a differ- ence between stories belonging in the domain of fairy- land and the marvels of invention and science. He is not unlike those who cite the radio as proof of the possibility of spirit communication and mental telep- thy. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing only when it makes one too credulous or wholly closes the mind to new ideas. It is difficult to say which is the worst fault. D PLAY WITH FIRE Protection against fire does not lie alone in highly- trained hosemen, shining chemical engines and inex- haustible water supplies. Saftey against fire lies far back of that, in straight-out, herd thinking—in precau- highest form of creative intelligence. In avoiding loss | by fire, an ounce of gray matter is better than rivers of water. . But the only thing that burns these facts home, it seems, is fire itself. That is why, in appealing for pre- ventive efforts during Fire Prevention week to be observed October 7 to 15 it is inescapable that he who would catch the public ecr must talk in terms of holo- causts. We can end fires, come day, if we plan right, build right, and utilize the proper agencies of govern- ment to safeguard us from new hazards. In the meantime the humblest of us can protect our shop, our office, our home by using the most elementary forms of precaution. We can be careful with matches. Matches and care- less emokers were responsible for a loss of $90,000,000 in a recent five-year period. We can be cereful with electricity, avoiding cheap fittings nnd improper con- nections. Electricity was responsible for an $85,000,000 loss in the same period. We can be careful with stoves, furnaces, chimneys and flues, which burned out $125,- 000,000 of wealth from 1915 to 1920. We can remem- ber not to pile rubbish and litter in our cellars. Rub- bizh piles cost us three-quarters of a million dollars a yet We can banish the open light. We pay a million and a half every twelve months for the privilege of its treacherous inefficiency. SCIENCE MARCHES ONWARD At Columbia University, New York, the staff of scientists are experimenting with an X-ray machine which is capable of making transparent a man’s hand a block away, though a thick brick wall intervene. The machine fills two rooms, the walls of which are insulated with lead. No human being thus far has come under its rays, but extensive experiments have been made with animals. The machine is the first of its kind to register and control thy intensity of its rays. ‘ is expected that treatments of human pa- tients, when full contro! of the mechanism is perfected, will consume virtually the same amount of time, vary- ing only in the degree of intensity. At present the time element enters in important measure into X-ray treatments. i, Such inventions as this giant machine more than ever emphasize the fact that men are increasingly learning to put into halter and harness the great forces of the universe. The use of the telescope, with which to view distant objects, was unknown 400 years ago. This great X-ray apparatus has no difficulty in reveal- ing the most intricate details of objects:nearer at hand, | even though other opaque matter intervene, Who shall say that it will not be given to man to explore some day into the recesses on the other side of the moon? this is 1904 ai No Verily, there is a great gulf between the status of the young woman of today and the young woman of her grandmother's girlhood.

This is more than is allotted to any other state in the northwest. Wisconsin receives $1,864,212, Iowa $2,035,291, North Dakota $1,193,440, South Dakota $1,223,981, and Montana $1,552,576.

When these waste accumulate more rapidly than the oning must result. If any one of the eliminating organs’ is not working propetly, it may cause a similar type of blood poisoning. For in- stance, if the liver is continually overworked manufacturing bile, it may have difficulty in destroying the toxins which it ordinarily re- moves from the blood. Sometimes drugs that are taken for the relief of symptoms, such as excessive perspiration, will interfere with the normal discharge of toxins from the body and produce this type of trouble.. Autointoxication is also frequently brought on by allowing the body to become overly tired so that there is not enough nerve energy remaining to properly stim- ulate the organs of elimination. The poisoning from fecal material that has been retained too long is really not included in the term “autointoxication” since the inter- ior of the colon must really be con- ‘he body is continually absorb- Question: prevent the absorption of additional toxins from the colon.

This patient reports that before starting the treatment she could not walk at all and that four leading physicians in her home town had declared her case hopeless.

He wanted me to meet the author of “the most important bi- ography of the year, in my opinion.” i It seemed, he told me on the Phone, that this author had spent ears trailing data on the great ola, had gathered most of the doc- umentation to be found in America and then had gone to Europe to finish up. Of course you've guessed the answer. The young scholar was none other than my friend the as- sistant broker who had used Wall Street’s money to finance his liter- ary effort.
