WONDERFUL GAIN IN

Young Woman Only Weighed 76
Pounds—Now Weighs Over 100
and Is Gaining Every Day.
“Before I began tnking Tanlnc I only
neighed 76 pounds, I now weigh over
one hundred and am gaining every
day," said Miss LaKue Davis of Chat
tanooga, Tenn.
“I bought my first Dottle of Tanlac
at Gas City, Ind., and it helped me so
much that I continued using it. I have
always been very delicate and suffered
a great deal from stomach trouble and
rheumatism. I rarely ever had any ap
petite and simply could not relish any
thing. I fell off until I only weighed
76 pounds and was so thin I looked
perfectly awful. Tills is the condition
1 was in when I began taking Tanlnc.
“Oh, I feci so different now. Kven
my complexion is improved. My appe
tite is good and I can hardly gel
enough to cat. Tanlac is simply grand
and I can truthfully say it is the only
medicine that has ever dims me any
good.”

SPRUE.
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.
The architects of night are scaffolding
Our minster to a pandemonium
Of flute and timbrel, warmth of brass

And thrill of triangle and tympanum;

"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

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.

was found in 79 per cent, of a series of

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.

Third, we should determine by care

our millions of idle back at work.
Disarmament agreements are of
fered by many people as a substi

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
