Japan s conduct is sufticient to provoke w ar iu China

and Russia is but looking lor a chance to sovietize China

nations whose losses were small in the W orld war, are now
locking for trouble.
There is but one thing th at the I uited S tates should
do aud th a t is to get out oi China. The price we will have
to pay to stay there will ultim ately be too great. No trade
from China is worth halt the sacrifice in hum an blood and
expense th a t it will cost us to stay in China ultimately,

China. We have plenty to do to look a fter the Philippines

A LESSON IN HUMANITY
How petty and futile all hum an affairs appear in the
face of such a cataclysm as the earthquake which shook
the California coast, bringing death and destruction in its
wake! Against such a convulsion of N ature m an has so far
evolved no defense.
In countless other directions hum anity has conquered
the powers of the earth, the sea, and the air. The whole
history of civilization is the history of m ankind’s conquest
of its environm ent. The fundam ental quality which dis­
tinguishes m an from the beasts is the ability of the hum an
race to overcome the handicaps which N ature imposed
upon it. The records of ancient days, disclosed by the geo­
logist and the archaeologist, prove th a t countless varieties
of anim als unknown today lived in successive eras on every
p art of the e a rth ’s surface. They are extinct today because
they did not have the faculty of altering their environm ent
when conditions changed.
Man alone has continued to increase and multiply, to
grow in physical and m ental stature, to become the con­
queror of the very powers of the earth and air. The sea
offers no obstacle to man. No bird of the air can equal the
speed with which m an today can travel th rough upper
space. Arctic cold and tropic heat do not drive him from
his domicile; he has learned to protect himself against the
elements. To no other form of life is it given to be able to
build securely against the storm , to protect his body against
the cold, to m ake fire his tool and the lightning his servant.
Man has a right to be proud of his superiority to all the
other anim als of land and sea and air. But in the very
height of his pride N ature shrugs her shoulders and m an’s
proud edifices topple into dust. It is alm ost as if the Guid­
ing Power which rules over us all had said: “Thus far shalt
thou go and no farth er.”
Out of the horror and pity of such catastrophes as the
earthquake perhaps we may learn a lesson of humility.
Perhaps we have been too vainglorious in our pride of
achievement. And perhaps— we feel th at this is certain —
out of such experiences as th at through which Long Beach
and its surrounding com m unities have passed, m an may
learn in time to conquer even that m ightiest force of Na­
ture, the earthquake.

COLD FEET
To the bow-wows with your ‘ vitam ins” and your “sex-
horm ones” and your invisible cells! L et’s talk about some­
thing you can understand, th a t you m eet every day.
“Cold feet” is most em phatically a SYMPTOM, and if
you have ’em persistently it’s a sign th a t your nerves are
not up to normal, or th at your capillary circulation is faulty
—or both. Elderly and old individuals are often victims of
this sort of condition. Many “nervous” women who are
much younger suffer with cold feet.
It is w orth while to pay attention to habitually cold
feet. I am a believer in a salt-w ater bath for the feet be­
fore retiring, when feet rem ain cold in bed for a long time.
The salt in the w ater stim ulates the capillary circulation
in the skin, and the nerve-endings there as well. B athe the
feet with the salty w ater, and dry them with a rough towel.
Get right into bed after treating. Keep up your attention
ti the feet—a m onth if you can.
Limited am o u n t of blood in the feet m eans excess of
blood in other localities. Some cold-footed individuals have
congestive headaches. If your home is not built for cold
feet, get a hot-w ater bag and warm the region Inhabited
by your feet in bed. If not that, a hpt iron—even a hot
brick! I have known warm feet to cure some forinB of
headaches.
Rem ember— some of you—we poor folks often adopt
poor ways. We do not all have air-tight houses and steam
heated rooms. 8ome of us live out in the country, you
know. I c a n ’t help feeling just a wee bit sorry for victims
of cold feet— hence this letter.
Your physician will probably recommend a good nerve
tonic in addition to my hints. He will know. W arm feet
are good protection from kidney disease -b e a r in mind.
