SECRETARY of tlie Navy AVilbui' enters the biblicitl-evolutioiun? tuiifflu today j ith a pica for common sense. o Secretary Wilbur, it seems, believes in both the "Mootc of God and tlie Hook of Nature, and be deplores the tendency to disregard either in arriving at a working philosophy of life and religion. It is doubtful, however, if Mr. AVilbur's contribution to the Sym posium results in any clearing of the atmosphere, or any marked prtigress toward unanimity. The trouble with bis plea of common sense is that in the realm ol theological controversy, then; is no valid place for common sense. "What appears to be common sense to Secretary Wilbur for example, may well appear common sense to no one else. To Mr, Wilbur common sense means a belief in evo lution in the Hook of Genesis and the Resurrection, To Mr. Harrow such a .philosophy is nonsense, to Mr. Hryau it is sacrilege, and to someone else it may be both. 1 The only common sense route is this sort of controversy is the route of tolerance and freedom. What is one man's religious food is another man's religious poison. human nature what it is, it is as of religious belief, as one form of Secretary Wilbur would have defining bis belief, in the name of common sense, he had wel comed all beliefs which are the sincere expressions of the indi vidual's faith, as the only common sense. For absolute truth is impossible in this realm of emotional con jecture; and liberty of conscience, freedom of faith, nnd tolerance to ail, is the only program upon which all fair minded people ciin unite.

Owing to tha laroa numbar of lattara raoalved, only van um Brians ran nara. no ratiiv nun am M4mi Dr. William Brady, Ir mra of thla nmraw. Polsott Jjcft Strychnin is pretty well known as a deadly poison, and most people are sensible enough to have nothing to do with such a poiBon, or if they must handle it at all, to use the utmost care und caution. Yet strychnin poisoning is responsible for most of the fatalities from accidental pois oning in children. According to statis tics given out by the largest A merican life insurance com pany, there were 78 deaths from acci dental poisoning among children In sured in the company's industrial de partment in 1924, and strychnin wns the poison responsible for the fatali ties in- the greatest number of cases, H4. Lye and other corrosive alkalis were second, with six fatalities. Then there were 12 other kinds of poisons responsible for' tho remaining 4U deaths. 1 When a child 'succumbs to acciden tal strychnin poisoning, somebody ought to be punished for criminal neg ligence or carelessness or cupidity, as the case may be, for almost invariably one of these factors is found contrib utory, though .perhaps charitably omitted from tho death certificate. In the 24 fatnlities among insured children the children in seven cases found some nice sugar coated or choc olate coated cathartic pills or tablets which contained the deadly strychnin. and in three cases tho children got hold of "tonics" which contained the deadly strychnin. Yet only a small i proportion of the children of the coun try are insured in this particular com pany, so the toll of precious young lives sacrificed in this way must be appalling for the whole country. The avlsability or necessity of In corporating strychnin in a physic pill I or an alleged "tonic" is open to debate even from the medical or therapeutic point ot view. If a physician insists upon the advisability or necessity of I such use of strychnin, then ho should 'exercise reasonable care and precau tion against improper or wrong use of tho medicine containing tho poison, and that surely calls for discrimina tion in the dispensing of such medl cinos. Perhaps a few physicians are i cureless ubout dispensing medicines of 'this class, but in a great majority of cases of strychnin poisoning in child ren the poiwon has been dispensed not by a physician but by some merchant J who either knows and doesn't care or ( doesn't know that the medicine he is sell hu: so indiscriminately contains j strychnin. I repent that when a child vines, the person who dispensed the medicine should be held to accounta bility, be he doctor, druggist or mail order merchant. It is nothing less than a scandal nnd a crime that it Is possible for anybody to ' purchase enough of this deadly poison, strych nin, in what purports to be harmless medicine, to kill a child, and without any concern to or restriction by the law. Cupidity of this sort is too com monly encouraged and protected by the law. Strychnln should be procurable only on n physician's prescription, nnd re strictions at least as carefully observ ed as are those placed around tho pur chase of morphin ought to bo fixed by tho law regulating the sale nnd pos session of such a poison. There nre doubtless a million homes right now where medicines containing strychnin are carelessly left around, within the reach of children. Is yours such a homo QVKSTIOVS AM) AXSWKItS Thread Worms Please give the cause of thread or pin worms in tho adult and what will eradicate them. (M. J.) Answer. The adult worms have headquarters in the intestine of cer tain individuals, perhaps in some ani mals, too. The worms mate in the small intestine, tlie males soon after ward die aiiTl the females wander on into the caecum, which Is the porting of the larije intestine in the region of the appendix, and some of them reach the lower cd of the colon. The eggs, miscroseopic in size, leave the body in the dejecta, ami are distributed by pn hltlon of null, water, fruit. ve!;ptabies nnd other foods (contaminated throu the agency of flies, and. by ihe soiled fingers of young chlloreTi the eggs are often carried to the mouth. Thus other nuith and hygitna, not to 4 1 too dlacnotli or muni u iuiiiu nni noninrniina rn iiuiniminiu Around. Individuals become infested. It is an other reason for more soap and water hand washing. A good many of our municipal health departments must be designed as factors in the proagation of such intestinal parasites because in spite of all - their paper stuff about "swatting the fly" they discretely re frain from swatting the filthy restaur ant keeper or influential householder that maintains nuisances which breed flies. The treatment of child or adult for pin worm infestation is a matter which requires the individual care of a physician. Amateurish trifling with "worm remedies" is probably a good second to the complacence of muni cipal health officers, in the mainten ance and propagation of this and other Intestinal parasitic infestations. Poison Myth Would constipation or the poison In tho system resulting therefrom cause fever?, Does intestinal indigestion or autointoxication cause neuritis? Would intestinal, trouble cause sweating of root ana com reel f tA. j. u.) . Answer. There is no reason to as sume that constipation causes any poisoning of the system or that any svfttpmip nniKfinliic nr "n 11 tnf n tnvlrn , Jtion" results from constipation. Con stipation scarcely explains fever. I don't understand what you mean by intestinal indigestion that is an in definite term applied to whatever ails you when you don't know just what ails you. Tonsils Out Two years ag.o I suffered from rheumatism and hnd to spend a sum mer in bed. I had for a long while had sore throats once or twice a month. I finally decided to have my tonsils re moved, and I have had no rheumatism since that time and no sore throats. Put will my tonsils grow In again? (C. R.) Answer. Not If they were entirely removed, but if some tonsil tissues was left it may still hyperthrpphy. Poems That Litfe In After Dnys.

The rise of Mary Lewis from singer in a little Arkansas church to prima donna in the grand opera world, in six swift years, is striking proof that the twentieth cen tury American girl has pluck! Mary Lewis was 19 when she de cided to aim for the artist's plat form. T h a t was in 1D13, when sho was the Sunday evening soloist of Little Rock's pres bylerian con gre- onHnn XTnr MARV .Lewis urged her to hold local glory rather than pursue visions of foreign fame. Her widowel mother needed the $30 a month that the choir work earned. Uut Miss Lewis took the chance of . winning both money and success on the stage. She started by joining the chorus of a vaudeville troupe. That meant four performances a day In combi nation movie and vaudeville houses. However, it provided money she needed, a tour to the Pacific Coast and enough savings in a year to buy a railroad ticket to Broadway. Reaching New York practically penniless, she sang in cabarets until placed in the ."Greenwich Follies" chorus." In the first week of re hearsals, Producer John Murray An derson discovered the richness of tho girl's lyric "soprano ' vojco and promoted, hor from chorus to prima donna role at $100- a week. Two years later Florenz Zeigfeld, Jr., secured her for his "Folles" and the following autumn Mary Lewis reached her goal she was invited to join the Metropolitan Opera com pany. She' made her operatic debut in the National Operi House at Vienna in 1023. "Hrnvo! Greater than Je ritza!" - her audience cheered. At the London Opera House last year music lovers called for her to bow before tho curtain fifteen times. This coming year Mary Lewis will sing In America,, making a concert tour through her native Arkansas and the forty-seven sister states. Do you ever see dortble!
