Sickness Tabooed The time may be nearer than we think when the re puted Chinese practice of paying physicians for keeping their patients in health rather than for treating them when nick' will be universal in civilized hinds. It is an ideal worth striving for. Great progress has been made in searching out the means of preventing disease but, as the director of the KockefeUer Foundation said a few days ago, we are not making practical use of our knowledge. Now com Sir David C. Bruce, president of the British Associa' ticn'for the Advancement of Science and chairman of the governing board of the Lister Institute of Preventive Medi cine, strongly arguing the possibility of virtually eliminat ing disease in civilized lands. He is credited with having controlled parasitic maladies in the British army duiing the war. . ' Sjr David, who was addressing the association of which he is president at its convention in Toronto, Ontario, de- clared that "medicine in future must change its strategy. Instead of awaiting attack it munt assume flic offensive. It must no longer le said that 'the man was so sick he had lo send for a doctor.' " . .. ' 1 : The more the doctors accomplish along the lines indicat 'Cd the belter,1ut ndfrlftWr the preventive work can be left to them. They can discover the means of controlling di sease and show the people what is essential to be dune in their own interests, but nothing will bp done unless the people are willing to pay the price for improving condi tions. Probably the money cost of gelt:n? rid of-preventable diseases would not be nearly as great as that which we pay as a consequence of sickness. Sir David" estimated the direct economic loss from this cause at $750,000,000 annually in England and 53,000,000,000 in the United States. And in these countries, comparatively advanced in medicine, sanitation and hygiene, the death into constantly falls. One important duty that lies ahead is clearly indi cated, by such as Sir David and the .Rockefeller Foundation. Trotsky thinks the . United Stntes is imiierialistic and that its pacifist reputation is a great joke. Trotsky could hardly be right in his views, if he tried. . Isolation Gone ', If the present trend of events continues, there will soon be no provincialism left in the United States. Isolation is what makes people provincial, and isolation is rapidly In coming a thing of the past. The telephone was the first medium lo connect far lying districts with the lifa of the cities. The automobile nextt furnished a means of rapid and convenient transit. Newi the city has leeii brought to the small town by means of tne radio. When Ia Grande, Ore., can listen in on concerts as far east as Newaik, as far south as Atlanta, and )M. fur west at Portland, then our town partakes in a measure of the characteristics of the cities. They have Bome,thiiig in common together. . The great national roads form another de-provincializing element. A sparsely settled district, however far it ma.vlbc from the larger centers, cannot grow self-centered curl ivpll1i:tl l-lwtn riM f, ...... toil .4; fl........! ........ .,.u IJvi .v . . .3 (li'lll im, IllllVillll .1.1 H hWl . ill n6 irh town everv ri:iv. ! T fact, the danger lies in the opposite direction. Towns , tfriidjto grow rather too much alike. Without IhImjIh. it is' difficult for n stronger within a diameter of ."oo miles to lie able to distinguish one town from another. Town spirit is also becoming more difficult to foster. Gimmunicatioii ' and fcasy travel have brought this alwut. Then may comej a time when the people of this country have extended their, travels around the glolc so widely that they will not an-! pear even as distinctively American. by Junius w fSMl.r nzr AUNT AMELIA.

I in your Wednesday's editorial you say. "Ia Follette is u natural maker of charges while Lav;s b: not. for Mr. Iavis is a construc tive man rather than a nation wrecker." So yon siy Ii Kolletle is a "na tion wrecker." Trove it. I suppose you think It had been better 'If the corruption and graft in the Harding-Coolidgo, and m lidgc administrations had gone un checked and unpunished. This would have undoubtedly happened if It had not been for Iji KolMtc. If you will take Ihe lime and trou ble to investigate you will discover that ft was IJt Kolletle who firs' laid the facts bare concerning tin real nation wrecking conditions -existing in the Itcpublitan admin istration of the past four years. I Why don't you tind out why it is that the voters of W..sfonsiii , keep on sending him back to tin I ruled .States Senate. Why did I I hey elect Jilm to three terms in the House of Itepresrntattves three terms as governor of their state, and lo three terms in the j Senate of the L'nitrd Slates? It I you do so you will discover that In I hud a wonderful record . oi achievement in placing the affair of his own state on a sjuud eco nomic and political Vuss and of consistently and constantly fighting corruption, graft and special privi lege. And so. when a man devotes a lifelong career to the intcrcs's oi his countrymen In disclosing dis honesty In political partita, and in upholding the ( onstitution and the laws of Ihe land, you call him a r nation wrecker."
