THE END OF LUDEND0RFF.
THE SUDDEN collapse of tho Ludcudorff revolt in Germany to
;day may have iarreachiu consequences.
For Ludcndorff represented the element in Germany which France
most seriously fonrctl. tTii spectre of military Germany arising aiaiii,
with perhaps the Kaiser or Crown Prince staging a return from Elba,
litis been at the back of tho French diplomatic mind ever since, the
Armistice. . ' '" '
1 Of course, the Ludcndorff collapse will not change French policy
lit .present. Tilings, arc ibreakipg too well for the Qtiai d'Orsay, and
France is too strong and too thoroughly united behind Poineare, ,to
;n;ike a more moderate program possible.
But if the collapse of the Putsch, and the spectacle of Ludendorf f
eating bread and cheese, as a humble prisoner in a brew house, should
convince the reactionaries of Germany that a militarist "come-back"
in impossible, that .the German people as a whole are for peace, and
a republic, then, there would be hopo of eventually getting some sort
of order out of ,tho Central European chaos.
NOT SO HOPELESS.
H ISTORY now and then is a consoling mistress. Read the story
of. Europe following tho downfall of Napoleon. A warlcss
world and a Holy Alliance, were as potent slogans then, as the League
of Nations, and a world safe for democracy were three or four yeara
ago. ' '
And with the samo .result. Liberalism and Democracy ' were
knocked into several cocked hats, and for nearly a decade, all the
s-ipposedly discarded reactionaries were again in power.
But -the period of reaction was short lived. By 1850 tho liberal
forces were in tho middle again. " ' !
For liberals tho world looks hopeless just now. But no more
hopeless than a hundred years ago. . .. . '
, Action and reaction. They are conslunt" nnd .opposing forces.
But reaction invariably slips behind .in the .end,. and humanity, with
its jerky gait, forward and backward," advances" gradually 'to .tetter
things. " . ' ' 1 ' ' c' '

f( A MAN'S no older than he feels," I say, somo forty timos a
XV day; but niy old rusty springs aud wheels show many
signs of Riving way. When I was younger I could fall and not bo
lamed in back or knee; as springy as n rubber ball, no accident
tumid mar my gloo. But now if I fall down the stairs I'm sure
to dislocate my back, and if I stumble over chairs, a lot of ribs
begin to craok. I sometimes slide- on orange peels, and bust my
dome, but still I cry, "A mini's no older than he feels," which is
a sort of truthful lie. I'd hnvo you think I'm feeling young, and
right side up, and good as new, and so, you see, I'm giving
.tongue to that which is not strictly true. .And yet it's true
enough, I guess, that I'm no older than I feci, and if my feelings
I confess, the tale would make your senses reel. Ah, well, ods

rusty graybeards hate to see themselves outclassed by younger

Is It true, & reader asks, that goitre
is -leBH prevalent In certain regions of
the 'i;n(td States than it is in other
regions of the
country? Is it true
that a goitrous in
dividual now living
in a region of
marked prevalence
of goitre will get
rid of the goitre if
ho moves to a re
gion whore goitre
is rare?
Simple goitre is
muoh more 'com
mon in certain re
gions of the Unit
cd States than in other regions. In
the region of theGreat Lakes simple
goitre Is notubly prevalent, as many
as ono. third of .the school children in
some of the cities of this region hav
ing more or loss thyroid enlargement
In parts of West Virginia, goitre 1b
frequent: .60 per cent of tne scnooi
girls In Huntington wore found nf-
fectod. In the state of Washington
goitre Is notably prevalent; 18 per
cent of tho 2086 men at the University
of Washington had goitre, and 31 por
cent of the- 1252 women students
there had it in 1S14. Of 21,182 troops
at Camp Lewis, Washington, 21 por
cent hud goitre. In one high scnooi
in Grand Huplds, Mich., half of the
pupils had goitre, and out of a total
of 12,631 school boys examined in
Grand Rapids 2003 had goitre, whllo
out of a total of 13,048 school girls
5236 had goitre.
The cause of this extraordinary
nrevalonco of goitre In certain regions,
as we now know, ' is a shortuge of
iodln In food or water. In many
cities of tho Great Lakes region, It Is
now tho custom to give ovory school
pupil a mlnuto doso of iodln about
once a week; this practice has prac
tically eliminated goitre in tho pro
gressive communities whoro tho plan
has been adopted. Moving to another
part of the .country would bo of no
avail, so far as prevention or cure of
simplo goitre is concerned, unless by
chance you happened to got food or
water containing a sufficient lodln ra.
tion In the nov abode.
Pconlo are gradually coming to
their senses about this rainbow chas
ing sport. No doubt the successful
treatment, of tuberculosis in hospitals
or sanltnrlums in every part of the
country, tho happy results ohtaincu in
evory part of tho country, havo some
influonco upon tho wicked old myth
of going away to nnothor cllmnto In
quest of a cure. Tho first lesson itho
victim of tuberculosis has got to learn.
still one of tho hardost for him to
learn, is that tho constant counsel
and guidance of a physician is a prime
essential to recovery. Tho adventurer
who sets out to chaso tho rainbow on
his own impulso is reckless.
I got pinched nnd fined the other
day for breaking a law I didn't know
existed. My Ignorance was no excuse
nnd brought mo no sympathy. Tne
Individual with a battle with tuber
culosis on his hands deserves' little

HiiMy Bon Told. '
I have been making bran cookies
after your recipe and they havo prov
ed better than physic for my grand
daughter, aged 13. Now her mother
has been told that bran will irritate
the intestines and she fears the cook
ies aro bad for tho girl to cat. (M. H.
G.)
Answer Ben was just retailing a
popular fancy which is not in aacprd
with tho experience of many -thousands
of persons who are using bran.
Cocoa Not for IjIUIq Ouch.
You discourage the use of cocoa for
children. Please toll us what your
theory is about it. Our eldest, 14,
likes It very much. (Mrs. 13. P. K.)
Answer It is not becnivto of a
theory that J discourage .the use of
cocoa as a boverage for children
under 16. It Is because young chil
dren seldom need such a stimulant
Coffee, tea and cocoa arc similar in
effect, stimulating the brain, the heart
and the kidneys. Puro fresh milk
and good homemade soups are .the
bost beverages for children.

THE CllEATKST THING IN THE
WORL1
By Lamer Oiay.
' r . Js'iKlssluc Uiingnrolis?
"Is it n .proper thing for .mo to kiss
my young gentlomcn friends onco in
i while, just in a friendly way?"
This is the ques
tion asked mo pn
an avorngo - of
three times a
week by damo
selles .who write
me sweet letters
on (usually)
s c e n t o d .fcioto"
well write . and
ask me if it Is all
right to eat chfll-
i ed cucumbers for
breakfast! I can
not say without knowing whether
kissing agrees with them. Thoro are
certain temporaments to whose mis
tress a kiss, here and there, means no
more than a hand clasp. Now, don't
imagine for a minute that I am an
advocnto of easy kissing, because I'm
not. Not a bit of.it. But I do say
that there 1s a typo of girl who slips:
in and out of short-lived little ro
mances, plays hard, and emerges
from each experience not a bit the
worse for it. There are girls, too,
who might Indulge in just one single
excursion of this kind and bear the
scars all her life. Whether it is, safe
to bestow a kiss hero and there is a
matter of personal temperament. In
any event, promiscous kissing Is not'
"nice." It leads to complications.
Kissing is like heart failure. Heart
failure never kills anybody. It is not
a disease, it is only a symptom. That's
the wuy with kisses. A kiss never
harmed anybody. It is only a symp
tom. ,Tho vital element .lies under
neath. But In kissing, it's better to
conservo 'ehi on tho ancient theory,
you know, that it is bettor to be safe
than porry!
