John Stuart Blacker OVEREATING SHORTENS MANY LIVES A very suggestive and significant method of suicide, in a new dramatic play, has been adopted by John Galsworthy, the noted English playwright, in his latest production "Old English." In the closing scene one of the characters commits suicide by overeating. This is novel, for the stage. But in real life multitudes are committing suicide by overeating. If the full truth were known, more persons die from overeating, doubtless, than from war and famine, and elemental disasters. The overeat deaths is so cloaked in medical terms or in obituary fulsomeness, that not even the immediate family of the deceased realizes that death was not due to a direct ordering of Providence, but to intemperance in eating. Overeating is a very common form of immoderation in this country. Blessed with material abundance, Americans, as a rule, are hearty livers. Many of them eat too often; eat at unseasonable hours; eat too much rich food; or eat too much even of the food that would nourish them if taken in moderation; or eat the wrong kind of food altogether. Too often men and women leading sedentary lives eat food that is suited to men engaged in arduous manual labor—coarse foods, hard to digest. The inevitable result of intemperate eating is break- Overeating is a very common form of immoderation in this country. Blessed with material abundance, Americans, as a rule, are hearty livers. Many of them eat too often; eat at unseasonable hours; eat too much rich food; or eat too much even of the food that would nourish them if taken in moderation; or eat the wrong kind of food altogether. Too often men and women leading sedentary lives eat food that is suited to men engaged in arduous manual labor—coarse foods, hard to digest. The inevitable result of intemperate eating is breakdown in health, sooner or later, and if the intemperance is not corrected, premature death ensues. The suicide in the drama from overeating may strike home to a great many the hazards they face when they eat to excess. When Thanksgiving Day comes thank Providence for the splendid rains that are coming to California. This is one of the greatest of blessings to this commonwealth. CURBING THE CARELESS “What we need is an auto that will stop and count ten before taking a chance, for the driver won’t do it,” says a wag. Deaths due to motor car accidents in the United States last year averaged nearly forty a day, a total of nearly fourteen thousand. That is the size of the army that is being annihilated by careless driving. It is needless slaughter, and the record is shameful. With the number of motor cars increasing at the rate of about 20 per cent a year, the time is not far distant when the country will be inhabited by automobiles and the people will all be dead. There is too much persecution of the careful driver, and too much leniency with the reckless one. Discussing this situation, the Kansas City Times says, “There is no need to harass motorists, the great majority of whom are careful. But, America yet is waiting to see a genuine exhibition of severity in dealing with the few motorists who are responsible for the loss of human life.” The first Californian who complains of the rain should be given a ducking. Worry is always destructive, never constructive, in human life. Worrying has not a single redeeming feature. Should gambling and corruption step into sports the public would step out and withhold patronage. When one recognizes one’s own frailties and seeks to correct them this in itself is an element of strength. FREE! Tomorrow Only FREE!

Says Piles Heal Up; Disappear Forever Seldom Falls to Give Absolute Relief from All Pain and Suffering. Guaranteed by Gibson's Drug Store and All Good Druggists. Many sufferers from Piles or Hemorrhoids have become dependent because they have been led to believe that their case was hopeless, and that there was nothing in the world to help them. To these people we say, "Go to your nearest druggist and get an original box of MOAVA SUP-POSITORIES." One of these inserted in the rectum according to directions will be found to give immediate relief. They reach the source of the trouble and by their soothing, healing, Lord Halsbury, the famous lawyer, who afterward became lord high chancellor of England, gained a great reputation at the bar as a topnotch cross-examiner. "Do you drink?" he inquired, blandly, of an overdressed, horsey-looking individual who was the chief prop of the defense at an Old Bailey trial. "That's my business!" was the retort. "Any other?" asked Lord Halsbury with well-affected politeness. A certain canny Scotsman had carried on a courtship of long duration without definitely committing himself. The girl, if she worried herself at the long probation, gave no sign until one morning her tardy lover, thumbing a small notebook, said: "Maggie, I hae been weighing up your guild points, and I hae already gotten ten. When I get a dozen I'm goin' tae ask ye the fatal question." "Well, I wish ye luck, Jock," answered the malden. "I hae also gotten a wee book, and I hae been puttin' doon your bad points.

Health and Diet Advice By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" SOME CAUSES OF DISEASE (Continued) It has always seemed to me that the greatest study should be rooted in mastering the knowledge of how to live so as to not infer with the normal order of the natural processes. For the addition we call "disease" originates in every case because of a backing of some function of the body through habits of life conting with the laws of nature. Nature is orderly, but not unkind or revengeful, and we have reserves to blame if we permit destructive habits to conflict with fixed and inexorable rules or an omnipotent, omniscient and unpresent Creator. If we suffer, the greatest folly is to believe this, because of our "Stars" or "Fate", and not through some bit of our own. After all, our conscious habits of life are of our own choosing, and these should be made to harmonize with never-changing order of the divine law. The ability to be able to point out every factor which can erate in producing disease in a patient is both an art and a ence involving as it does nothing less than a complete study of the patient's entire life and habits. A classification of some at most of the principal of such causes may be made in a book of articles, and these, it is felt, can hardly fail to be of value to the nearest seeker after truth, by giving him a solid foundation of to work upon in his researches, and furnishing him with material from which an enormous amount of good can be obtained.

Bok, is Service. "Not the service that serves self," he explains, "for like lip-service, that accomplishesaught. But service in the true and intended meaning of the word—the service that labors for the interest of others, that confers an advantage, that benefits, that avails." There is a greater word, it seems to me, is Tolerance-Tolerance transcends service. Intolerance is a ball and chain man drags along in his struggle upward. When this ball and chain has been removed, the best Service will have been done for man. It is difficult to be tolerant; one must practice unselfishness, and selfishness is bound up with the first human instinct, self-preservation. It is fear, rather more than ignorance, that makes bigots of men. Intolerance is positive, not negative. A man can dislike other persons for their opinions and still not be intolerant. John Stuart Mill, writing in his autobiography of the great feeling his father had for his convictions, remarks that an earnest person, being no more infallible than other men, is liable to dislike people on account of opinions which do not merit dislike; "but if he neither himself does any ill office, nor connives at its being done by others, he is not intolerant; and the forbearance which flows from the conscientious sense of the importance to mankind of the equal freedom of all opinions. COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying NEGRO PREACHER HONORED—San Diego Union Columbia, South Carolina, has just paid a remarkable tribute of respect to the memory of a 93-year old negro preacher, "Uacela" Charley Jaggers, who spent seventy-five years of his life preaching the gospel and ministering to the needs of his fellows. The full story is summarized in the Literary Digest, together with the numerous comments of Southern newspapers, which hold up the incident as a lesson to Northern observers who don't believe the South can be fair to its negroes. As far as its "lesson" quality goes, the incident is a lesson to all of us—North, South, East or West. The 4000 white Southerners who stood in the rain to hear the funeral service read for this ex-slave, were doing something more than render tribute to a worthy man. They were rendering tribute to a worthy man. When any man—white or black—dedicates his life to humble service, to spreading the light as it is given him to see the light; he wins a respect and affection that can come in no other way. There is no brilliance of achievement, no spectacular quality of native endowment, no grasp of power-not any gift of personality that can outshine his honest self-dedication. This career is in a class by itself, demanding every sacrifice and bringing a reward that no other can bring. "Uncle" Charley's talents were not great. His opportunities were meager. A single-minded purpose to do the work his Master would have him do, made him the man he was. There can be no failure for the man with this instinct of devout service. His small resources will be used to the utmost good; if he has great resources, they too will be developed to the limit of power. It was of such talents that it was once written: "To him that hath shall be given." GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE OF THE RULE OF JUDGING It was observed by William Penn, Quaker, that in such cases it always happens, that the clearer the argument, the greater the obstinacy, where the desire is not to be convinced. "In all things reason should prevail;" Penn believed, "Tis quite another thing to be stiff than steady in an opinion. "This may be reasonable, but that is ever wilful." Penn saw Tis the glory of a man to vault to truth; as it is the mark of good nature to be easily entrained. "Beasts act by sense, man should by reason; else he is a greater beast than ever God made; and the proverb is verified, the corruption o fthe best things is the worst and most offensive. "A reasonable opinion must ever be in danger, where reason is not judge. Though there is a regard due to education, and the tradition of our fathers, truth will ever deserve, as well as claim the preference." It was observed by William Penn, Quaker, that in such cases it always happens, that the clearer the argument, the greater the obstinacy, where the desire is not to be convinced. "In all things reason should prevail," Penn believed, "Tis quite another thing to be stiff than steady in an opinion." "This may be reasonable, but that is ever wilful." Penn saw Tis the glory of a man teav to truth; as it is the mark of good nature to be easily entreated. "Beasts act by sense, man should by reason; also he is a greater beast than ever God made; and the proverb is verified, the corruption of the best things is the worst and most offensive." "A reasonable opinion must ever be in danger, where reason is not judge. Though there is a regard due to education, and the tradition of our fathers, truth will ever deserve, as well as claim the preference. If like Theophilus and Timothy, we have been brought up in the knowledge of the best things, 'tis our advantage; but neither they nor we lose by trying their truth; for so we learn their, as well as its intrinsic worth. Truth never lost ground by enquiry, because she is most of all reasonable. Nor can that need another authority, that is self-evident. If my own reason be on the side of a principle, with what can I dispute or withstand it? And if men would once consider one another reasonable, they would either reconcile their differences, or more amicably maintain them. Let that therefore be the standard, that has most to say for itself; tho' of that let every man be judge for himself. REASON, LIKE THE SUN, IS COMMON TO ALL; AND TIS FOR WANT OF EXAMINING ALL BY THE SAME LIGHT AND MEASURE, THAT WE ARE NOT ALL OF THE SAME MIND: FOR ALL HAVE IT TO THAT END, THOUGH ALL DO NOT USE IT SO."
