Ye Smudge. Pot By AJtrjui ferry Its the Perfect Time "CHRISTMAS hag been celebrated on the 25th of December for a very long time. Did you ever happen to think how fortunate that iat We mean that Christmas should come in December. For December at least so it seems to us, is the zero month of the year, just as three o'clock in the morning is the zero hour of the night and day. It is the month when all nature, and therefore man is at the lowest ebbj when the sun is farthest away and shines the shortest time; when vitality in the bulb of life is steadily sinking, and its ability to resist extinction on one hand and, conserve its forces for a new birth on the other, appears most doubtful. "PIIEN comes Christmas! : A new note is suddenly struck in the Old World symphony, a note entirely out of key with the note of nature, foreign to what is really going on, all over the surface of the globe, as the dance of life slows down, a note that proceeds not from mater ial conditions, but solely from the heart of man. "Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward menl" Good will toward men, that new note sounded nearly two centuries ago, the note of human brotherhood. And its symbol is Santa Claus, a roly-poly, pink-cheeked, merry old gentleman, with white whiskers and a pack on his back full of good things for old and young but particularly for the children. How fortunate it is! How obvious it is that Christmas could not and should not-come at any other time. For then, as at no other time, it symbolizes the triumph of man over nature, the heart over the head, the SPIRITUAL over the PHYSICAL. . ' . . So come on Ye Mcrrie Gentlemen, things haven't been so good, in fact perhaps in many ways they have never been worse, but TOMORROW it's a Merry Christmas and WEEK from tomorrow it's a Happy New Year!

Correspondent writes from tory town: My doctor says I must have my tonal Is re moved by cut ting. I asked him If It Is not better to have them burned out by elec tricity and he said they could only remove two - thirds of the tonsils that way on account of some of ton sils being be hind a pillar. Then he said the burning sears some pus In and there was more danger ot In fection . . . I take It the correspondent refers to diathermy extirpation of the ton' alls. There Is no "burning" In that method. No doubt Dr. John J. Practitioner still harbors a vague notion that the diathermy method la merely a kind of modern revival of an ancient at tempt to dispone of Infected tonsils with the electric cautery that was burning with a vengeance, and not a few victims suffered the 111 conse quences of such crude maltreatment before the method was discarded. But I do not hesitate to say that any practitioner who tells you the diathermy method, in competent hands, Is less effective or less satis factory than the guillotine and snare, the standard tonsillectomy. In com petent hands. Is entitled to the de gree granted above. This practitioner, apparently, la bors under a misapprehension con cerning the diathermy method, for which we may thank the apathy and KUplnenesa of the rank and file of the American Medicnl Association (of which, remember, I am a member or- fellow). For unfortunately for the dignity of the American Medical association, an employee of the association saw fit to publish rashly condemnatory editorial articles about the diathermy or electro-coagulation method before he quite grasped what It was all about. This hasty condemnation, this going off halfcocked, worked much harm, for a lot of the plodding prac titioners of the country took It as authoritative," tho, heaven knows. he Is not and was not an authority. for he had never used, the method In practice and In all likelihood had never even seen It used by a compe tent physlclnn. The truth is that at the time of the editorial outburst !., M. D., L. I. A. R, ETC. partly against me personally (for promoting the new method in my health column) and partly against the method the difficult technic of diathermy extirpation of the tonsils had not penetrated the wilderness much farther west than New York or possibly Pittsburg. Within a year, however, the brighter boys saw the light. Then the volatile editor slip ped another little editorial comment on the method Into the official or gan for the medical association, and this time praised It with faint damns. Thus his policy continued undaunted and today depraves the national med ical organization like a carcinoma. A few years ago I printed a series of articles telling the unflattering truth about tonsillectomy and no physician ever ventured to question my assertions of fact or to refute my criticisms of that crude operation. Why not? Because at that time all the good doctors were busily learning the difficult technic of the diatnermy method, and all the bad ones, the old fogies, the brass throat specialists were wise enough to preserve silence. Silence, you know, la the last refuge of a charlatan. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Very Good Honey. Please tell me how much honey mat be heated without Injury. I assume the heating in cookery detracts from the wholesomeness of food. W. H. D. Answer Prolonged cooking destroys Vitamin C In freBh vegetables or in milk. But If your diet Includes a fair variety of fresh raw fruits or relishes that need not worry you. Heating does not render honey less wholesome or digestible. A New Generation of Iron women. I have Just finished my third month on your Iron and ammonium citrate. It has done me a wonderful lot of zood. I feel like a new woman. Had no trouble getting it at various drugl stores. A. a. M.

A recent Issue of the consumers' guide (AAA) asked people to write In their ideas on the milk situation. The first 100 replies showed a ma jority blaming Inefficient distribu tion for the high cost of milk. Most of the answers approved government control of distribution, but felt the time was nor yet ripe for city-owned jnllk distributing plants. That may come eventually but not now. Notes.

Does anyone douht for a moment that if some penniless bird, had stolen a dollar from that Tennessee bank, or a five dollar bill from the clerk's office in Polk county, he would have been behind the bars, less than two weeks after the crime! And yet some people wonder why there is increasing dis respect toward our courts, and a rising popular demand from one end of the country to the other, for RADICAL KflFORM in our courts and adopted methods of procedure.

But they need also to secure reduction of burdensome taxation, and that can come about only through reduction, not INCREASE, of public debt. THX French government, we read, la preparing rigid quotas on United States Industrial products for next year. That Is to say, the French are preparing to limit sharply the amount of our products they will buy.

But for eign trade Isn't as Important as we have come to think It Is. Even In the big years, when we were lending money to. other peoples In order to enable them to buy our surplus, for eign trade amounted to only about 10 per cent of our total business. It Is much less now. We could probably get along without it ano ther, If we had to. THE nation's 1033 potato crop, we learn from Washington, Is valued by the department of agriculture at $222,867,000. Production for this year Is figured . at 317,000.000 bushels, which Is a SMALL crop. This writer does not have at hand, at the present moment, the figures showing the value of last year'a much larger potato crop, but Is quite cer tain it was materially leas than the value of this year's smaller crop. It Isn't the big crop, by any means, that Is worth the most money. Value dependa on price, and price depends on supply and demand. When supply Is too big, price la too small.
