The Three Horsemen
r)Q bad, too bad! ' - ' .
If this civilized world were only CIVILIZED, the forces
that today threaten to destroy it, could be themselves destroyed.
For civilization means to be "reclaimed from the rudeness
of savage life, to be wise, to be advanced in the arts and learn
ing." There are three outstanding nations in the world today
which are not civilized in this sense. They have not been
"reclaimed from the rudeness of savage life," they are not
"wise." They are advanced in the arts and learning or have
been, but those who represent such advancement, have ,no
voice in determining the policies of their countries, they are
mute and powerless. ' Both the domestic and foreign policies
are determined by those who are essentially savages, in their
ideology and convictions.
THESE three nations are Germany, Italy and Japan. They
are the three countries that threaten war, war in Europe
and war in the Far East and therefore threaten the destruction
of civilization, and their own destruction, as civilized states,
with it '
If they were truly "advanced in learning" they could see
this. If they were truly "wise," they would act upon it. But
they are neither. Superficially they are civilized, but at heart,
they are, as national entities, as truly barbarous, as the un
clothed aboriginies of Patagonia.
IF only their fates were involved, one might more easily be
come reconciled to such a situation. There would be a
certain rough moral justice in such an outcome. But unfor
tunately that can't be done. Whether we like it or don't.
this world is a unit, an organic whole. Three socalled civilized
states, can't return to the jungle, without dragging most of
the world with them.
f
TOO bad, too bad.
The situation appears so completely mad, and the remedy
so simple. All the world needs is CIVILIZATION, in. spirit as
well as in name. That's all. ' '
But look at the war in China today, and the war in Spain !
No law but the law of the tooth and the claw; no human right,
that might hasn't destroyed.
And so these three horsemen, are dashing hell bent, for the
abyss, dragging the rest of the world with them. And there
appears to be no power on the earth or above it, that can pre
vent the inevitable which is the destruction of what for many
centuries we have known as civilization.
It Could Be Done, -But-
SO there is no civilized way out of the mess. For as Emerson
Hiiirl the first vital uteri in civilization is. "the change from
war, hunting, and pasturage to agriculture." In other words
to change from destruction to production ; from punitive
pursuit to pastoral ones.
We can deplore war, preach agaiust it,' outlaw it . . . BUT
in a world gone mad, in its worship of force, as the determining
factor, in human affairs; such activity comes under the heading
of "talky-talk" foolish and futile moralizing.. One is thus
forced to return to the pagan doctrine of Napoleon.: .".God is
on the side of the strongest battalions." ....
WELL why not return to that t Why not be realistio about
itt If the analysis above is generally 'correct, and the
destruction of the world is threatened by . the elements that
recognize no power but the power of force,, why not get busy
in the direotion of challenging that force, by a superior force!
IT COULD be done I
The United States and Great Britain, for example, could
join with France, the South American republics, and the Scandi
navian countries, in a League of Peace, backed up by the great
est economic, financial and military force, the world has ever
seen.
This coalition, could deliver an ultimatum to the "three
horsemen" something along these lines:
We are aialnet wmr. And in tern sotta. that va wUl
oppoM by (ore, on land, on aaa and In tba air: any nation that
threatana war. On tha othar band we tacognlza thara ara
oarteln Injuatlota in the world. There ara nations that nead
room for legitimate development and aipanalon. In the Intareat
of maintaining peaoa, wa ahall aat up an International court
which will aaa that thews lnjmtloe. ara corrected, aa far aa It la
humanly poaalbla to do ao and needed territorial adjuatmenu
ara made. Tba decraea of thla court, will be. backed by tha
aama force, that will oppoea war."
fNUTXOTICt
V Well no more quixotic than the League of Nations. In
fact it would be the essential idea of the league, only with
force to back up its decrees, ADDED.
And if such a leasna had been in operation two years ago,
n-milH Mussolini ever hiive conouered Ethiopia t Would Japan
have launched upon its Brmed invasion of China t Would Ger
many and Italy, dared to have engaged in what is nothing less
than an effort to "crush Spain, and establish a Fascist base of
operations there t
We think not,
a e a
YES, this would be a way out, a certain way out. And U
such a league were actually in existence, we doubt very
much, if a gun would ever be fired. For nations like individuals
that fear oulv force, are inclined to quit, cold, when a force
obviously greater than their own, appears.
BUT again being realistic, there is about as much chance of
,.; hoino taken, aa t.hnra la nf Brother Stalin, beiug
elected an honorary member of the Now York Stock Exchange.
Some parts of the world are more enlightened and civilized
than others but as President Wilson discovered so tragically, no
part is sufficiently civilized TODAY to willingly PAY THE
PRICE of peace I '

DONT LET THE ACID OBSESSION GET YOU DOWN
1 in I
m
Acidosis la a state of the body, that
Is, the blood and tissues and, cells,
which sometimes occurs In the course
of one or another disease. It should
be clearly under-1
stood that acid-;
oets la a result, a
feature, and not
a cause of the 111
neaa or disease.
Acidosis la never
due to acids nat
urally present In
foods, nor Is It
ever produced by
changes whlcb
mfC or
protein food un-
gestlve tract.
The common notion that certain
foods make the stomach acid or too
acid and also make tha system, the
blood and tissues acid, la wrong.
To the best of my Judgment there
la no sound basis for the Idea, still
cherished by some of the elderly
medical brethren who devote their
leisure time to writing medical es
says, that foods containing nitrogen
ous material, protein, especially pur
ines, la likely to leave an excess uric
acid In blood or tissues indeed there
Is no convincing evidence that uric
acid Is a factor of any disease.
The less one knows about human
physiology the more readily one be
lieves silly teachings about the Im
portance of choosing the right com
binations of food. The truth la that
any combination or mixture of foods
that appeals to one's state Is quite
sa digestible, wholesome and health
ful as either or any of the Items of
which the mixture la composed.
A question that seems to worry
many gullible folk nowadays Is how
can one be sure to get all of the oh,
pick any number from six to thirty
eight element essential for health-.
I understand there are several ele
ments necessary for health, but when
you get beyond the digits I give up.
But why worry about such academic
matters? Any one whose diet In
cludes a fair amount of milk, cream.
butter, cheese, eggs, fresh vegetables,
fresh greens, fresh fruits will be cer
tain to get all the elements, all the
minerals, and nearly all the vitamins
he needs. If the dairy products and
fresh vegetables are freely used as
staples of the everyday diet, there
will be no leck-of minerals. As ex
plained earlier," the Important thing
la to see to It that you get an ade
quate dairy ration of vitamin D to
Insure utilization of the mineral ele
ments. Hyperacidity of Stomach
One with gastric syperacldlty, acid
stomach, byper-chlorydrla, sour stom
ach, acid dyspepsia, hunger pain, or
a suspicion of peptic, gastric or duo
denal ulcer should avoid seasoning
things with salt or eating very salty
things. He should avoid catsup, chill
sauce, horseradish, mustard, apices,
vinegar, pickles. He should not eat
grapefruit, lemons, oranges or toma
toes. He should not eat concentrated
sweets, cakes, candy. He should avoid
meat soups and gravies. He should eat
six meals a day Instead of three or
four.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Carrying
Seferrlng to the Inquiry of the girl
who has to carry heavy bags from
door to door. My experience has
taught that resting the elbow on the
hip greatly reduced strain. Long ago
a southern woman told me the old
slave mammy carried the baby astride
the hip and called this "toting. (O.
K.)
Answer Thank you. Ideal way la to
carry the burden either balanced on
the head or knapsack fashion. Anoth
er meaning of "toting" Is the long
established custom permitting the
cook to carry food home to her fam
ily, ae one of the emoluments of her
Job.
Pilonidal Cyst
Husband has what doctor calls a
polonloal cyst near end of spine. Do
you consider operation necessary to
remove this? (Mrs. H. A. C.)
Answer that la a cyst or bladdery
tumor having a growth of hair on It.
Yea, I think the wisest and safest
plan would be to have tt removed,
perhaps under local anaesthesia with
out detention from business.
Thirty per cent Off
A year ago I sent for your booklet
"Design for Dwindling" (ten cents
coin and three-cent-stamped envelope
bearing address). It was the luckiest
thing I ever did. I dwindled from 330
to 165 pounds, and look and feel so
much better. But the greatest thrill
I get out of It la to go into a store
and ask to be shown size 38 dresses
Instead of size 501 (Mrs. M.V.D.)
Answer And your letter la thrill
enough for me.
