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.
Answer Fine. All I ask now is
that you be kind to your husband. '
Starch, Starch, siarcn.
What bad effects will the eating of
excessive amounts of corn staron
have, in pies, puddings, gravy, etc.?
L. H.
Answer It la wholesome food. The
effects would be no different from
the effects of eating too much wheat
flour or potato or bread. Obesity,
chiefly.

have come to think It Is. Even In
the big years, when we were lending
money to. other peoples In order to

10 per cent of our total business.
It Is much less now. We could

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.
