JtLV 10, Ilw CROOK OOl'MY JOVRNAL SPECIALISTS IN HUMAN lU.S tmt Mart r Lees Sg Reflection n the Subject ef Diseasae and Their Treatment. tVntlrts now core rheumattam. dy apnlK, kidney trouble, eore eyea and corni by pulling, filling or otherwise analtrratlng the teeth. Stomach ie etallsts relieve tiHithache by treating the digestion. Headaches have noth ing to do with the head, except to snake It hurt; the eat of their opera tions I In the atomaoh or liver. The whole body aeema to be merely a sys tem of Interlocking directorates, the Philadelphia Ledjrer comments. Why, then, one Is Inclined to ask. do We have sieoln lists? If the functions Of the body, instead of being a system of such complete entanglements and Inter-relations from head to foot, were really divided up Into watertight com partments, then specialists treatment would Indeed be indicated. In that case each specialist would have his rwn compartment to look after, with sign upon the membrane which narks the entrance to his domain, "Trespassers will be prosecuted." But what are yon going to do with a body In which nephritis Is directly caused by an ulcerated tooth which the dentist hasn't discovered, and the legs swell up and become useless because there la an unlocated Intestinal kink? It would really -seem that before a man la fitted to operate as a specialist on any part of the body he must have specialized a while over every other part of It ao that the East side doc tor's sign, "Speeialiet In All Diseases," eed not be regarded aa so absurd after all. The first qualification of a good specialist la to ba an all-around physician. But at present the dentist has the advantage over all other specialists. Give him a chance to pull out every tooth In your bead and you will be de livered forever from Brlght's disease, rheumatism, pleurisy,! liver complaint, eurltls, pyelitis, and virtually every other kind of disease. But what will the dentist do when he has drawn very body ! teeth T MUCH DEPENDS ON ONESELF Good Hard Sans as Applied to An cient Superstitions Concerning "Blue Monday." I happened to find a most entertain ing old book In the free library a dic tionary of superstitions. It has three big volumes, all crammed with the fears and beliefs of the human race. Just to sample some of them that ap ply to Monday, here are a few: "If things commence to go wrong on Monday they will go wrong all the week, but If you have good luck on Monday yon will keep It up." "Pay no bills on Monday If you can kelp It." (This Is congenial advice and easily followed.) "If you meet a cross-eyed person on Monday you will not have good luck till Thursday." "If the sun sets clear Friday night it will rain before Monday night." "It Is a bad sign to lose a tooth on Monday." (Yes, or a hand or a leg either, I should say.) "If you lose your temper three times On Monday you will have a great fam ily quarrel." (This bit of sagacity has an excel lent chance of being true, one would think. Still, there may be some men who could get away with three blow outs and have no comeback.) To add our own observation to the collected wisdom of the ages your Monday is neither more or less than what you choose to make It when you get out of bed In the morning. You can make It lucky or unlucky If you wish. Philadelphia Bulletin. Impressionable Fowls. Sunshine seems to play an Impor tant part in the lives of fowls. There is no doubt that they lay much more regularly, and appear generally hap pier, when in the sunlight. The next best thing to sunshine in thin dull old country is a light which gives to the fowls the Impression that the sun is shining. Fortunately the fowl Is easily de ceived, with the result that a great deal of success has attended the ex periments of a well-known engineer who is building fowl-houses with a material similar to canvas, stained and Tarnished so that the house Is always lighted in the daytime with light of a pleasant golden color. By means of electric light placed outside, the fowls can easily he made to think the sun 18 always shining; and so successful have been the results that a farm Is being established on these lines. Ticklish, Isn't It? Is there a problem which, perhaps, Is more likely to be answered some day than this one, which has been pro pounded to the bewilderment of scien tists. Suppose a pipe which would permit of the passage of a man's body were pierced through the earth from Lon don to the Antipodes, and a man com menced to descend by means of a lad der running the length of the pipe. Naturally he would descend feet fore most. On reaching lhe center of the arth he would, on account of the revolution and formation of the globe, presumably be going upwards until he emerged In the Antipodes. Query : How can a ladder on which ane Is descending become a ladder on which one Is ascending? And bow could one go tin a ladder - feut fore most? Next, please ! COUNTRY OF ROLLING HILLS The Drumllns, Between Syracuse and Rochester, N. Y Make Exquisite Bit of Bestiary. Between Syracuse and Rochester Ilea a country of hills, known as drmn llns, which Is one of the most beautiful and unique bits of scenery In the eastern United States. The terra drumlln la an Irish one and Is applied to low, rolling hills of glacial origin which exist In that coun try, and also In parts of New York anil New England. This section between Syracuse and Rochester Is the very heart of the American drumllns. Most American mountains and hills were formed by violent disturbances of the earth's surface, and ihelr rude origin Is reflected In their ntsgeilnoss. But lhe drumllns were built by lte grvat Ice sheet which once covered all of North America. The materials of which they are made were pushed to gether slowly by the crawling glaciers molded and tamped and smoothed by the great ice fingers as a child makes mud plea. The drumllns look as though they had been designed by some great In telligence with a sense if beauty, for they rise In smooth, gentle curves, like those of a perfect human body. They are remarkably uniform In height, usually a little less than 200 feet, and so smooth and lenient art their slopes that many of them are culti vated to their summits. Some of them are as round as half an apple, and oth ers are long welts or rolls. Scattered among the hills are s num ber of small lakes and ponds, clear and pretty, and there Is good fishing in many of them. The drumllns are a favorite playground of the people la Syracuse. Rochester and other nearby towns, but they are little known be yond the counties In which they lie. CHARM OF "MERRIE ENGLAND" What It Was In the Days of Old Cr. Still Bs Discerned In Spots Today. Of our forefathers, nine out of ten lived In the rural parts; and the re mainder, the busiest and the best tithe of English humanity. In towns whose darkest lane was never a mile from the orchards round the town, so that the recreation of the city dweller was by the hedgerows and river banks. . . . The spring and the winter came unsought Into every man's life, not as they come today, wayfarers be wsndered among the housetops, feebly whispering of unknown thing In far salubrious lands, but fresh with burst ing bough or strong In glowing frost. The thoughts of the "Allegro" and "II Penseroso" are Indeed the thoughts of a rare mind, but the most vulgar slave of custom enjoyed In the dnys of King Charles the conditions of dully life which Milton there described; the sweet Influences of the seasons, had their effect. . . . Whether they knew It or not. the Cavaliers drew their charm from the fields, and the Puri tans their strength from the earth. . . . What this old England was can still be seen and felt In the combes and on the round hilltops of Somerset and Devon, in the wooded lands over which Malvern looks to the west, and In the broken valleys that lead the lake mountains down toward the sea. G. M. Trevelyan. Prizes for Pl(jmanship. Every year a pig race is held at Crone-sur-Marne, In the north of France, a prize of 2,000 francs being awarded the lucky rider of the win ning pig. This race Is held In accord ance with the terms of the will of a wealthy tradesman of the village, who died forty-two years ago. He ordered that amongst the amuse ments of the annual fete should be In cluded a race with pigs, to be ridden either by men or boys. The prize, however, was not to be handed to the winning jockey except on condition that he wore, deep mourning for the deceased for two years after the race. The municipality accepted the eccen tric bequest, and these singular races have been held regularly ever since. Felicity a Necessity. The presence of a wise population implies the search for felicity as well as for food; nor can any population reach its maximum but through that wisdom which "rejoices" In the habi table parts of the earth. The desert has Its appointed place and work; the eternal engine, whose beam ig the earth's axle, whose beat is its year, and whose breath Is Its ocean will still divide Imperiously to their desert king doms bound with unfurrowable rock, and swept by unarrested sand, their powers of frost and fire; but the zones and lands between, habitable, will be loveliest In habitation. The desire of the heart is also the light of the eyes, Ruskin. Question of Opinion. The late (Jeneral Booth of the Sal vation army was conducting a big meeting which lusted unuRually long, and toward the close a newspaper re porter left his seat and gained the nls i'. General Booth pointed a finger at him and said : "Whoever leaves this auditorium will be damned by God." The reporter answered: "If I don't leave this auditorium and hurry back to my oflice I'll be damned by the city editor." "Ood Is above the city editor," re torted General Booth. "Yes, I think he is," piously respond ed the reporter, "but the city editor doesn't !" "Meats in Storage" Every working day of the year 75,000,000 pounds of meat are required to supply home and export needs and only 10 per cent of this is exported. These facts must be kept in mind when considering the U. S. Bureau of Markets report that on June 1, 1919, there were 1,348,000.000 pounds of meats in cold storage. If the meat in storage was placed on the market it would only be 20 days' supply. . . . This meat is not artificially withheld from trade channels to maintain or advance prices. Meats in storage consist of 65 per cent (approximate) hams, bacon, ate, in process of curing. It takes 30 to 90 days in pickle or salt to complete the process. 10 per cent is frosen pork that is to be cured later in the year. 6 per cent is lard. This is only four-fifths of a pound per .capita, and much of it will have to to to supply European needs. 19 per cent Is frosen beef and lamb, part of which is owned by the Government and was intended chiefly for over-seas ship ment If this were all diverted to domes tic trade channels, it would be only lV4 lbs. per capita a 3 days supply. 100 Prom this it will be seen that "meats in storage" represent merely un finished goods in process of curing and the working supply necessary to assure the consumer a steady flow of finished product Let us send you a Swift "Dollar".
