The people who live in the southern Biates are beginning to hear of a disease which is new to them. It is called sprue, ami Is a flrst cousin to pellagra. Boyd reports seeing a good many cases of it in Texas. Wood reported some cases in North Carolina and Michel saw a case in a man in the south who had never been out of the United States. And why not? It is very prevalent In Porto Rico and Caribbean countries. It is contagious, and it is spread by people who are 'walking around, many of them considering themselves well. Ashford of the United States army estimates that 3 per cent, of the people in the tropi.es carry the parasite which causes this dls eese. Vnat being the case how are you going to keep it out of this country? Briefly, it is due to a kind of a cousin to the yeast germ. This organism has been formed on baker’s bread and In milk. Infection, in all probability, 4s due to eating food containing it. It is a white man’s disease, rarely affectirg ne groes, Indians, or half breeds. It affects women three times a9 often as man. It prefers the w-ell to do to the poor, those who live In clean surroundings to the careless and dirty, and the city dweller rather than the country man. It generally starts with a sore mouth. A red burning tongue is an early symp tom. So also are cankers. When a canker comes on the under side of the tongue it gives a lot of trouble. 1 am sure there are 10,000 people in all parts of the country who could read this fact In the description, who if they stopped here would swear they had it. The redness and burning of the tongue extends to the back of the throat and down to the stomach. A burning feeling is felt behind the breast bone. Lots of people with pellagra who read up to this point will say: “Just my symptoms. Fits my case exactly.” It causes a light, foamy diarrhea. - There may be eight or 10 bowel move ments a day or there may be only one, but what there is will be loose, watery, white, foamy, and with lots of gas. One name for th6 disease given by those who had it is white diarrhoea. Another is foamy diarrhoea. Emaciation is progressive and may be come extreme. The liver shrinks In size, because, although the chief function of this organ is to destroy poisons, the poi son of the germ of sprue is too much for it. However, sprue is not a very fatal dlseas?. Only one-tenth,of the cases die, while nine-tenths recover more or less completely. The symptoms of the disease are much the same as those of pellagra; that no body will deny. How are they to be told apart? In sprue the germ can be found in scrapings from the tongue, particu larly in scrapings from those cankers* The yeastlike organisms are found in the bow'el discharges. The little red, cherrylike places on the tongue are not found in pellagra. Sprue does not give the eruption of pellagra. The diarrhoea is not the same in the two diseases. The outlook for recovery is better in sprue. The treatment of sprue consists in get ting thv» sick one into a colder, higher, dryer climate. The diet should contain little starch. The medical treatment la up to the doctor. A. Whom Shall We Educate? The great English authority, Tred gold, thinks we waste a lot of money trying to educate people who cannot be educated. Furthermore, we waste money educating some people unnecessarily* Finally, we do some harm educating some people who should not be educated. Many people cannot be educated be cause they have not the necessary men tality. Tredgold says the degree of edu cability varies in different individuals and iii the main this,difference is inborn. A marked lessening of educability is pathological. A tendency in this direc terids to be born in families. Of course, there arc children who can not be educated because of physical de fects. Tredgold has not those children in mind, because a moderate amount of attention makes them educahle. He has in mind morons and dullards, most of whom were born that way because one or both of their parents were born that way. To educate children of this group up to the limits of their educability and to prepare them for tlie work which they have the mentality—to do is one of the best investments a state can makev To try to educate them up to the eighth grade or through high school or until of a certain age as fixed standards is wasteful. If a person is definitelj* anti-social, a criminal by Instinct, a definite enemy of society, we do harm by educating him because we increase his power for harm. Some of the personally, character, and behavior types are as fixed in their anti social attitudes as are the morons, in their mental limitations. In spite of Tredgold'.s firm conviction that educability is in Ote main a matter of inheritance, he holds that people of seme capacity may increase their educa bility by exercise of mind, and that such exercise of mind through generations will eventually stamp the strain with greater possibilities in the line of edu cability. In other words, while Inheri tance Is the greater factor in educabil ity. environment has some influence, and (■rations has considerable influence. And now for certain rather radical suggestions which will make teachers think. He holds that compulsory educa tion should stop at a much lower level than it now docs. That even I he higher elementary studies should he open only to those who have proved their ability to profit by them. Many individuals reach the limits of their educability long before they stop school. He would have examinations by which individuals would be stopped when they had reached that limit. To determine fitness to be educated in the higher subjects, passing scholastic examinations and gaining scholarships is not enough. The examination should *ake into consideration medical anti psy chological aspects aR well. An inquiry into the mental ratings of the family should be made. Wood Nuptial. The woods are still; the scent of old rain stirs Out of the trampled fronds and over ua£ And now the evening air Is glamorous With parley of the bramble gossipers, And fireflies who trace diameters Of light along a winking radius, And rasping saws, and the continuous Insistence of the thicket carpenters.

"Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread.” x Edward A. Fil®n®. in Centurv Maaazi ne. THE TIMES have given a new' sig nificance to this ancient prayer. It is a hungry world that haS emerged from the war, and how to provide it with Us daily bread—by which I mean restoring the world to sound economic health—is a problem that is vexing business man and statesman alike. Not as a churchman, but as a busi ness man, I am impressed by the fact that "give us this day our daily bread” has become the pruyer of the world's business no less than of the world's religion. And, still thinking as a business man, I want to suggest that while the mechanics of its an swer will be found in the business of the world's market places and ex changes, the motive, the impulse, the power that will Insure its answer Aiust be found in the religion of the churches. What I mean concretely Is this: whatever mechanism of inter national credit and commerce our business men and statesmen devise must be used, if it is to work in time to sgve the situation, in that spirit of service and sense of moral re sponsibility which the churches, above jtnd beyond creed, exist to stimu late. That this is not "mere idealism” in the cynic's sense of that term, but hard, practical, common sense, is plain, I think, from s simple survey of the straits in which the world finds itself in this after the war period. The baslo conditions of our coun try are good; we are the richest na tion in the world; our savings bank deposits are the largest in our his tory; - there Is enough work that needs to be done to keep every man and woman In the United States busy. And yet there are more than 3,000, 000 (now 5,000,000) unemployed in the country. The fundamental cause of this paradoxical situation is our inability to export our surplus goods. We not only have on hand a surplus of goods, but, as a result of the war stimulus, we possess a surplus-pro ducing ability that would have been thought impossible In 1913. And up to the moment of writing our ex ports have continued to fall oft from month to month by hundreds of mil lions of dollars. i nis is s«nuua uuouicoo way that we choose to look at it. Of course, If we do not solve this riddle of international economic relations and find a way to export our surplus goods, it does not mean that we are going to the dogs. It does mean, however, a far-reaching re-adjust ment of our whole plan of national and work. Unless we find a way CXpai-t our surplus goods, there Will cone a super-competition be tween b’.sin^ases and industries wlth' io our own country— a super-compe tition not oriy between our producers, but between OUr cfislrllRltQES as well. If wj cauilut let off our surplus en ergy ta expaH trade, we abaii use it in f.ght'ng one acotircr fist domestic business If hiicb a condition of af fairs obtains, this intensified com petition Will eo on fur a number of years until the amOttnjt o' national productl in “vl i bo Hclflfyi tlOWb to the volume a< wibrt We onrsaOritf can con sume, plus of Ctfiirae, Whatever ex port traie w*j may' have.

In the mid Shall swing to an economy US cxtnTmo as the ex travagance w> hfMO fceen practicing. All this canno t tart «V?an an ultimata lowering of the Standard's of life in the United Suites, But is a 7this necessary? Why can we not export our surplus goods? We )iave theni, we want to sell them, and th* world cannot be restored to Us normal economic health nor the peace of the world be assured until we do. The answer is simple: the European nations are for the time too poor to pay for them In gold or In goods. The only way In which the European nations can take off our hands these surplus goods Is by the grace of long term credits extended by the United States. | But—and here Is the crux of the matter—long-term*credits cannot tie extended until there is greater social and political stability in Europe, less danger of revolutions or wars that as to the cause of eczema there are three schools-the external irritation school of Vienna, the infection school of Hamburg, and the humoral school of France. As a matter of fact there are many cases of eczema due to external Irritation. "Most cases of eczema of the hands come from substances which get on the hands while at work. The essential of cure in these cases Is to protect the skin or else to change occupation or method of carrying out the harmful occupation." Ilr. Harris suggested that there might be a relation between deficient adrenal secretion In the blood In all diseases which were characterized by itching That Includes eczema. Therefore he suggested that trial be made of epine phrln, obtained from the adrenal gland. It Is given by hypodermic and applied locally. But the theory which Is attracting most attention now Is the French or humoral explanation of eczema. Mary Investigators have found that half or more of the cases of eczema are due to eating foods which, while wholesome* enough to most people, catyss eoseraa In some. In an investigation digestive trouble was found in 79 per cent, of a series of The Worst Possible. From Answers.

In Europe the military war has been followed by a series of eco nomic wars. There wars of trade, if not as dramatic, liavu been as de vastating in their effect upon many European nations as was the military war. Now, normal production is the only thing that can insure daily bread and daily jobs to the peoples of Europe. Normal production depends upon a steady flow of food and raw materials to where labor is. Until socli flow begins, there will never be peace and prosperity In the world. At the end of the war food and raw materials were used up in Europe. The lack of food and raw materials has plunged Europe into genuine want and created a shortage of work. As was to be expected, this has re sulted In great deficiencies In na tional Incomes, and Incitement to revolutionary and semi-revolution ary movements that have overturned governments and precipitated mili tary and economic battles between the exhausted nations. It Is because of these conditions that business and banking find themselves unable to give long-term credits. Ths fact is that tha defect it too deep to ba corrected by business and banking alone. Business and bank ing will be able to eolvo this critical problem only when the United States co-operates in statesmanlike fashion with Europe in restoring social and political stability. We are now facing a situation in which political stabil ity must precede economie restora tion. Amerioan isolation must in the end make for European dissolution. Now, what are the practical things we can do to help the world and our selves out of the plight into which we have fallen? Personally, I think ths fundamental need Is still to “make the world safe for democracy,” hut I think that as a cold matter of busi ness procedure that phrase can now bo translated to mean that our im mediate aim should be to “make the world safe for long-term credits." This alone will insure that flow of food and raw materials which will of Kurope to norma! work and wealth, and, on the other hand, set free our surplus goods and stimulate our own business health. I have only three suggestions to offer, three things we, as American citizens, may and should do now: Fir Jt, we should mind our If s, and Kelp Harding, Hughes, and Hoover. These three men ate In strategic ia> sirtons, the three men through whutn America must express its political and economlo hieai of worhl rela tions. Pvesfdent Harding needs to under stand that the groat mass oi1 Ameri cans is with ilim ih making this country an acttoo menAisr uf an ef fective association of OJLtlons. We must begin to differ. vrrtmU.' between the Amortcartiam oi so'h' cal cam paigning and the real f n erleanlsin invoking COT etui.' to cur neighbors as weTI as to ounrelves Sixcond, wo should make < loir to our Renames ouv wfllitviuthB. our de terualmtiJ&n, to do our part In hdp iag to restore normal production and distil button iu Europe and to es tablish an effective international court. * Third, we should determine by care ful study what is necessary to put our millions of idle back at work. Disarmament agreements are of fered by many people as a substi tute. Reduction of military expenses is necessary in all nations, becausefln Kurope especially, they are too great a burden to be borne safely In ad dition to the huge expenses of the war. But disarmament on an ade quate scale is impossible without some efficient substitute. There is no substitute for war except law international law. But International law effective enough- to be a substi tute for was is Impossible without an association of nations of which the United States Is a member. Organized religion can help by giv ing leadership and voice to khe un derstanding of our countrymen. This Is the great opportunity for religion. The church's fundamental Ideals are justice, mercy, brotherhood. These are the foundations for International friendship, the foundations for inter national co-operation. cases of pruritls, 58 per cent, of urtlca- ' rias, 75 per cent, of rosaceas, 51 per cent, of eczemas, Vi per cent, of tetters In babies. Harris found that constipation, high protein diet, and alcohol were potent factors In causing eczema. Ills investi gations into just which foods cause the trouble were interrupted by death. In about half the cases of eczema diet ap pears to be the cause. Experimentation 1n each case should show TTluit foods that persoft should avoid. No Doubt.
