COMMON SENSE VS. RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY.
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.

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.

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

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

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 ,

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

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?

Answer. Not If they were entirely

was left it may still hyperthrpphy.

Mary Lewis.
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.
