Therefore, the great and almast overwhelming task of the thinking few. the ploneers of the new order of things, is to break down and re- move, through educational precesses of various kinds, the great bulk of the thinking and llving habits of people in every stratum of life. This can be done by turning on the new light and by simplifying and ex- plaining fundamental truth as we are beginning to understand it in re- lation to the life and health of the individual. To begin with, we must stop com- bating disease and thinking of dis- ense terms; we must break away from much of technical detail, from obscuring and misleading language and from arrogance and prejudice. Then there should be established a few simple. basic principles of life | relating to human health, both physi- toms and turn our minds and hearts toward light, truth and the establis] ment of heaith? Surely, a thousand years is quite enough time in which 1o prove or disprove & principle.

Health Through Right Living ‘Also the Overcoming of Disease by the Same Constructive Methods. BY PHILANDER D, POSTON. Vatican Observatory Publications Lost at Sea. ‘When the steamer Matilde Pierce was burned at sea last fall fifteen packages of the Vatican observatory publications, which were shipped Oc- tober 14, 1922, directed to places in the United States, Canada and Mexico, were lost. The packages contained supplementary charts to the Atlas Stellarum Variabilium, a first install- ment of the Catalogue of Bright and Obscure Nebulae, and part second of the Miscellanae Astronomica. It is said that duplicate packages will be sent to the same points of original destination. Of course, the publications will be eight months or a year behind time. iy Will Speak on the Army at Press Club Post. Secretary of War John W.

MARTIN WOLF, I believe I saved. Often we hope that our advice, our medicines or our surgery have had a good effect, per- haps a decisive effect. But when we read medical history and see how Qut of the darkness of centuries, Pud of disease of. the ages, truth is Mmerging which may lead ultimately £0 the overcoming of the arch-enemy B2 the human race—disease. A few mclentists and men of clear vislon are bringing to light and establishing certaln fundamental principles. It We are wise enough to grasp and ap- ply these principles on a broad, uni- 30-32 ¥ Ave. N. often our grandfathers’ medicines must have done harm, how often the patient must (so far as we can see) have recovered in spite.of treatment rather than because of treatment, we cannot but wonder how much of our present, up-to-date (medical) thera~ peutics’ will appear useless or worse The Modern versal basis, we can surely make of this sad old world a happler and bet- ter place to live in. Ploneers Must Hew the Way. The great highways of progress twere once rugged trails hewn by hardy and fearless pioneers through the deep and dark forests of fixed bellef, arrogant prejudice, smug cor- ventionality and the dry rot of stag- nant minds. There remains, however, road yet to be built, without which all highways must lead up blind elleys. That road is the broad avenue over which we must travel to reach all good—"the road to Wellville” and human health. Almost pre-eminent among the ploneers in the present wilderness of disease stands Dr. E. MeCollum of the department of hyglene and public health, Johns Hopkins Univer- sity. This eminent authority, now famed at home and abroad, urges a radical change in our attitude toward and in the treatment of disease. Dr. McCollum declares that ‘“until re- cently the medical profession was interested exclusively in the sick. ow the idea is gaining ground that it 1s more important to keep a per- son well than to cure an fllness ater it has developed. This is the great deal of preventive medicine.” “But physicians, health officials and the public_itself,” Dr. “ollum _tells us, “are in great mea ignoring all except the most spectacular alarms in health matters. * . We hear much of clinies for the re- moval of tonsils and adenoids and for the repair of defective teeth, but almost nothing of a fundamentai na- ture about the adoption of habits of living which would exem: in great measure, the next generation from our own' physical burdens. This authority goes on to say that “the trouble seems to be that we are Still retaining habits of thought which must sooner or later becoms antiquated. Case reports, autopsies and histological studies stfll focus our attention upon the nature of the | disease. its urate description its differentiation from other eases, * * * \while the ph ©f normal conditions receives but lit- tle consideration. Dr. McCollum further asserts that “the time has arrived when greater attention should be given to the most fundamental problem of all, viz: The supervision of the conditions under which the normal development of the individual takes place. An effort must be made to perfect the environment 50 as to make the many structures of the body function in a manner which spproximates the physiological ideal.” ‘This means, in brief, that we must visualize and work for health while siving disease, as such, only minor onsideration. = We need more logic of this sort. Curative Powers Within Us. The most potent of Dr. McCollum's declaration is that ‘ftechnical studles rave “brought to light what casual fnspection failed to discern—that our most effective barriers against most of the dangers to which our environ- ment exposes us lie within us. Per- fection of physiological development and the preservation unimpaired of the organs and tissues of the body assure in great measure immunity against the painful effects of certain disease conditions.” Another eminent physician and writer, Dr. Richard C. Cabot, who stands’ pre-eminently at the head of the medical profession in the state of Massachusetts, tells us that “Some- times a doctor can get his reward in the awareness that he has foiled dis- ease and cured his patient. But if he is honest with himself, and intelli- gent about the respective roles of nature and of man in the cure of di ease, knowing how huge is the con- tribution of nature, how minute the efficacy of man and his remedies in all except a few of the diseases he combats, he will not often be able to say: ‘I cured him; I pulled him through.' " “As a matter of fact,” confides Dr. Cabot, “as I look back upon twenty five years of medical work, I can re- member but two patients whose lives S LBV AR AT AR s i\ SEA NS WAL Newo Ko Muml:s('\:l'l?my ; long skift, back, elastic bands at sides t hh..'

Try a pa: than useless in the wise hindsight of our own grandchildren.” For a thousand years orthodox sci- ence has thought and acted in terms of sickness disease, and all their re- lated negative and destructive states. The steady disintegration and decay of humanity which saturates in vary- ing degree nearly every family, from banker to beggar, i3 the inevitable and tragio result. Since a thousand years of such negation, false philos- ophy and pseudo &cience have brought us only increasing disease and misery, both physical and men- tal, why not completely reverse the old and misguided principles? Why not think and act In terms of health and all its related ‘positive and con- structive states? The Master Key. The crying need of this sick and sorrowing world is that we substi- tute light for darkness, truth for er- ror, faith for fear, good for evil, right for wrong, joy for sorrow, and, most of all, work for shirk. Then, and then only, can we lay just claim to health, peace and plenty. “Each of us has the power 10 effect these changes in our own lives. So have we within us the power to overcome disease by establishing health. But as long as we think fear, feel gloom and live and combat disease there can be no hope of better things. g The master. key' to lifo was given each of us by the great Master and Teacher in eight simple words, when He sald: “Resist not evil, but over- come evil with good. urely we have lost the key. Since the memor: of man runneth not to the contrary we have been, and still are, resisting evil and combating, fighting, think- %, treating, talking and living dis- ease: vet all the while human bodies in countless millions have been reek: with disease, and the human race. is be- j10g steudily devoured by its ravages. | Light or darkness’ heat or cold, right or 'wrong, heaith or disease— one or the other must prevail. .Dark- ness, cold or wrong surely cannot be removed by resisting them. Nor can diseave be overcome by com- bating it. as has been attempted {for centuries. The only hope. there- fore, of human progress and th final overcoming of disease .lies. in Christ's injunction quoted ~above, which may be translated into “Resist | not disease, but overcome it with | health. Fundamental Causes of Disease. While science has catalogued many thousands of symptoms of dis- ease, there are in'reality but a few basic causes. These -causes may be glven three divisions: (1) physical, (2) mental and .(3) spiritual.. Phys- ically, the great bulk of causesmay properly be grouped under two heads: (a) Faulty nutrition. through a wrong combination of food. and (b) faulty elimination. Dr. McCollum und other lcading authorities rightly hold an im- properly constituted diet to be the first and principal (physical) cause of all disease. It is also an established fact that faulty elimination, or drainage, from the body of wastes and palsons is the other basic clause. The principal mental causes are doubt, anxiet worry, fear, anger, envy, jealousy, self-pity and a multitude 'of Rindred states of mind with which we clothe ourselves when we wallow in the dismal swamp of self and all that re- lates to our puny little ego. Among the spirftual causes are wrong emo-, tions, the exaltation of self and the diseases, as its chiet medical adviser. Among the assoclation’s sponsors and chief supporters are Willlam G. Mec- Adoo, Margaret Woodrow son, Samuel Untermyer, ~Mrs. Minturn Pinchot and many others equally prominent who are sincerely working for the betterment of the world. The declared purpose of the asso- clation is the amalgamation, the har-| monizing and employment of all good in the many branches of healing with | the view to overcoming sickness and disense by establishing health. Dr. Cowles, the chief medical adviser, | proposes to enlist the aid of the best | medical physiclans, dietitians, osteo- | paths, chiropractors, Christian Sci- ence practitioners, mental sugges- tionists, faith healers and psycho- analysts. This is the first broad and concerted effort on the part of highly intelligent and patiiotic individuals to bring together the best elements of established truth and to apply harmoniously’ and without prejudice, fear or favor, the proven funda- mentals of healing—regardiess of the source through which each was pre- sented to the world. Another encouraging sign of the times is found in the fact that the | great state of California. known for its progressive citizenship, freedom ! of thought and scientific’ progress recognizes and authorizes more than, 200 separate and distinct organiza- tions, schools or cults established for the overcoming of disease by the maintenance of health. Some employ purely physical means, some mental, some_ spiritual, while others combine all three into an harmonious whole. Rugged Ploneer Work. The average mind, however, re-| sents most violently any sudden or radical change in its pet and cherish- ed habits of thought and of living, any. breaking down of the orthordox, the traditional. the conventional, any tearing up of deep-rooted physical mental or emotional self-indulgence. Tt strongly objects to seeking out and establishing fundamental causes, for the reason that it is so much easier to locate and tinker with symptoms and effects. This feeble and foolish practice enables one to cling to their established order, or ther disorder, in thought and A NEW STYLE —of Hlettering, combined with with the Deckle Edge sheet ndw coming into vogue, gives added to the Bre- wood-engraved Wedding In- charm vitations and Announcemeits. ‘BREW®D Engravers and Stationers 611 Twelfth Street denial,"in whole or in part, of God, together with all that thig entalls. The larger part of the existing treatment of disease lies in dlagnos- ing, combating and suppressing mul- titudes of symptoms, each as it arises. This requires an intricate and almost endless system and organization which treats effects but which seldom reaches or removes cause. In reality, it further aggravates cause. It is this attitude toward and treatment of disease that has brought the peo- ples in all civilized countries to their present degenerate and diseased con- ditton.
