He backs that belief with a solid array of startling facts which are in addition to many facts bearing upon the same viewpoint already established. i Gas released from airplanes that will wipe out entire | cities and against which no mask is proof, and easily manipulated explosives that are more deadly than an earchquake, are already here.

Garvin's claim was accompanied by an offer to Presi- dent Hoover, as president of the Chemical Foundation. f millions of dollars to investigate the “vast possibilities of chemistry as an agent for peace.’ His claim that if the politicians would give to research in chemistry and in other sciences a fraction of the huge cost of armies and navies the world would see dis- coveries of the greatest moment is not inspired by ig- | norant enthusiasm. It is borne out by the impressive | record thus far attained by chemical research.

TRUSTWORTHY (By Alice Judson Peale) An untrustworthy child is a reflec- ; tion upon his home, not because he is deceitful and dishonest, but because his being so tells the world at large that his home is at fault. More often than not the child | Whom the neighbors and the school puthorities know to be untrustworthy has grown up in a home where subtle ‘ and pretence weave them- es + into his daily life. The child's more obvious dishonesty is but a c caildish version of the stand- rds of his home as he has under- | stood them. ; He has heard his mother talk ever so sweetly over the tclephone to a riend. He has seen her hang up the receiver and tell father what she really thinks of the lady. He has ridden often with his par- ents on the train and has been told to “make himself small” in order to escape paying the fare. Very likely he himself has not been trusted. His word has been ques- tioned. He has been called upon to give evidence against himself when heavy punishment awaited him—a | strain upon honesty which is too A trustworthy child is one who has ; been trusted. Now and again he may have failed, but always he has felt his family’s trust in him to be re- newed. He is one before whom has been held, in the image of his elders, the example of scrupulous honesty in word and deed. He is one for whom allowance has been made on the score of ignorance and youth by those who knew how hard it is to be entirely honest even when one is grown, and the difference between the wish and the fact is plain as in childhocd it never can be.

A proportion of this dried vegetable flour may be added to focd such as crackers, macaroni, or ‘ten cream, and serves the double pur- pose of overcoming the acid-forming naencies of the richer foods and dis- | guises the flavors of the vegetables. | The foods usually selected for mak- ing the vegetable flour are: spinach, carrots, lettuce, tomatoes and celery. | These vegetables are specially rich in all the mineral elements—calcium, sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, iodine and iron. Let us take a short survey of all these foods: Celery is a member of the parsley family, with an agrecable flavor. It never creates digestive dis- turbances and can be used by anyone who is able to use any kind of solid food. It is very rich in organic salts, especially the alkaline-forming or- ganic minerals, containing large and quantities of chlorine for the manufacture of hydrochloric acid for the stomach's digestive juices. Carrots have been cultivated for human food for more than two theu- sand years. They have a very agree- able flavor when dried and contain a large amount of mineral matter, pre- dominately alkaline. Through the fine grinding of the dehydrated product, the cellulose structure is broken down so that the carrots are readily di- gested. Tomatoes are a valuable fruit which have a distinctly beneficial effect in increasing the liver’s functions. There is not the slightest bit of evidence to show that the use of tomatoes is harmful in any way and on the other hand, abundant evidence to prove that tomatoes stand at the very top of the list of healthful foods, con- taining, as they do, so many vitamins, together with organic minerals and valuable fruit acids. An analysis of tomatoes shows that they are very kaline-forming and rich in potas- im, calcium, magnesium, iron, chlorine and vitamins A, B. and C. Spinach is-one of the most protec- tive of green vegetables. It was used freely even in the days of Medes or Persia. Long before the organic chemists discovered that spinach con- tained large amounts of iron, this vegetable was used for its health-giv- ing properties. The French call spin- ach a “belly broom” because of its value as a roughage. Even the most Primitive people realize that it is ad- visable to use large quantities of the bulky vegetables to fill up the ali- mentary canal and assist in the peris- taltic action of the stomach and in- testines. Spinach is rich in sodium and calcium, as well as iron, and is jene of the finest if not the finest blood tonic. Lettuse, also frequently used in making vegetable flour, compares fav- orably with spinkch in its alkaline- Bee LASS RHEIMS BOMBARDED On Sept. 18, 1914, the Rheims ca- thedral was damaged to an almost ir- reparable extent during a bombard- ment by the Germans in the World war. The thirteenth-century cathedral, which was one of the finest speci- mens of Gothic architecture, was bombarded time and again and was the target for numerous aerial at- tacks. The cathedral is 453 feet long. The elaborate west facade, flanked by two towers, had 500 statues and a splen- did rose window. The north portal, with its sculptures, was scarcely less beautiful. The cathedral is famous as the church in which the Prench kings were crowned. From 1179. in which year Philip Augustus was solemnly crowned there, it was the place for the coronation of the kings of France down to the time of Charles X. The town of Rheims, which is 98 miles. east or northeast of Paris, suf- fered severely in the important Eu- ropean wars of the last century. It was damaged during the campaign of 1814 and in 1870 was occupied by the Germans. It again suffered heavy danse in the war which began in ¢ f Our Yesterdays — Y FORTY YEARS AGO ‘The falling of the roof of one of the waterworks reservoirs will cost the company $1,200 to repair.

One can readily see that all of the vitamins and mineral elements are abundantly supplied in such a combination of vegetables. By keeping the blood stream thor- oughly alkaline, one has probably the finest protective measure against dis- ease. An alkaline blood stream means an abundance of energy, enthusiasm, a clear complexion, lustrous hair and shining eyes. One must not eat too many of the heavy foods or the body will be fat, the skin blotchy, the eyes heavy. If you want the marks of abounding health, eat plenty of the mineral and vitamin-containing, en- ergy-giving foods. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Floating Kidney Question: I. G. asks: “What shape of belt would be the best for one to wear with a floating kidney, and should it be worn through the night as well as through the day? Is taking half a wineglass of brandy a day an: harm to one with a floating kidney Answer: I have attempted to raise floating kidneys through the pressure of belts, but I have never been able to do so with any success. The X-ray examination will show that these belts do not actually raise the kidney or any other prolapsed organs, al- though sometimes the patient feels more comfortable when the belt is worn. Most people do not have any symptoms from, a floating kidney, and the majority of patients examined are {cund to have at least one kidney lower than what is considered normal. A floating kidney would not be harmed by brandy any more than one in a normal position. Whether or not the stimulation of brandy is good in your particular case depends upon many other things besides the posi- tion of your kidneys. False Angina Question: A.

The so-called “false” angina can often be cured by one or two osteopathic or chiroprac- tic treatments.
