DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
By DR. T. J. ALIEN
Food Specialist
IS ANIMAL EXPERIENCE A
SAFL GUIDE?
"Is It true that those animals
that eat flesh are more vigorous
and enduring than the vegeta
ble eaters, and is animal experi
ence a safe guide for man?” a
reader asks. Most of our knowl
edge of physiology has been ob
tained by experiments upon an
imals—and humane vivisection,
properly restricted, is just as
justifiable as dental or surgical
work, properly restricted —and
as the general principles of
nutr’tion apply throughout the
animal kingdom, comparative
physiology is helpful as a guide
in nutrition. No animal is more
efficient, mentally and physical
ly, within the scope of its ad
vancement, than the gorilla,
man’s nearest relative among
the lower animals, and Huxley
says (“Man’s Place in Nature”)
that the gorilla is strictly
frugivorous. The elephant Is
not less vigorous or less intel
ligent than the lion. One writer
advocating vegetarianism, says
that the dog suffers much from
cancer and lives a short life be
cause of his flesh diet; another
says his life is cut short by
eating cereals. Flesh is the nat
ural food of the dog and he is
probably injured by a mixed
diet as much as man, and is
more subject to cancer than any
other animal, but he is affected
by unnatural living otherwise,
especially by tack of sufficient
exercise. We have much to
learn from animals, but care
ful, unprejudiced, correct rea
soning is necessary.

♦ SONG OF THE SUFFRAGETTE ♦
Baltimore American.)
Goodbye, little baby.
Don’t cry so bard.
Nobody will mind you,
Your’re in the discaid.
And your cries will fail,
So stop yelling for me,
Mamma’s gone to jail.
Sure ’tis awkward for you.
But, oh, baby mine,
1 have been too busy
To atend your whine;
I’ve been window smashing
In the grand crusade,
And just now I’m resting
In Jhe jail stockade.
It was great this morning.
With a hammer strong
llieaking doors and windows
As we rushed along,
Charging on policemen
Making lords turn pale
Tell pop he must tend you, *
Mamma’s gone to jail.
Heroes seem able to yell the loud
est of all over a stomach ache.
Confession, which ought to he tried
before anything else to get out of a fix,
always comes last.
The trouble with a man’s getting
his salary raised is he thinks he has
to live up to twice that much.
The easier it is to reform a man the
oftener you’ll have to do it.
A woman’s mind is like a bed—it
must be made up occasionally.
A woman can’t talk as much at a
funeral as she can at a wedding, but
she seems to enjoy it anyway.
•WE DEMOCRATS.’
The following trenchant and vigor
ous attack upon the record of Wil
liam Randolph Hearst was published
in a recent issue of the New Yoru
World under the heading. ‘‘We Dem
ocrats":
"We Democrats,” said William R.
Hearst in his Jackson Day speech at
Washington—"We Democrats are
celebrating,” etc.
What an inspiration the presence of
We Democrats must have been to ev
ery guest at the dinner!
In 1902 We Democrats was elected
to congress on the Tammany ticket
from a New York City district.
In 1904 We Democrats was an un
successful candidate for the demo
cratic nomination for president an 1
sulked throughout the Parker cam
paign.
In 1905 We Democrats ran for
mayor of New York City on a munici
pal ownership ticket against George
B. McClellan, the regular democratic
candidate.
In 1906 We Democrats nominated
i himself for governor on an Indepen
i dence League ticket and then through
j a deal with Murphy obtained a Dem
ocratic endorsement, after Grady had
“done the dirtiest day's work of my
life.”
IN 1907 We Democrats nominated
a fusion county ticket in partnership
with the republican bosses.
In 1908 We Democrats put an inde
pendence league ticket in the field
against Mr. Bryan, the democratic
candidate for president.
In 1909 We Democrats ran for
mayor on independent ticket in the
hope of defeating Judge Gaynor, the
democratic candidate for that office.
In 1910 We Democrats ran for lieu
tenant governor on an independence
league ticket, nominated to help elect
Roosevelt’s candidate.
In 1911 We Democrats again joined
with the republican bosses in nam
ing a county ticket.
In 1912 We Democrats, once more
a candidate for the democratic nomi
nation for president, attends a Jack
sou Day dinner to assist William J.
Bryan, Woodrow Wilson, Alton B.
Parker, Champ Clark, Joseph W.
Folk and various other democrats in
celebrating, etc.
Times change, and We Democrats
changes with them. But one thing re
mains fixed and immutable, which is.
that if William Randolph Hearst is
a democrat everybody—except the
democratic party—is democratic.

THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER.
Message of Amos
Is Needed
Today
By Rev. Henry A. Stimson, D. D.,
Pastor of Manhattan Congrega
tional Church, New York
It was in the days of King Amaziati
of Judah and of Jerobam 11. in Sa
maria. These were both long and
prosperous reigns in the middle of the
eighth century before Christ. They
were times of great luxury connected
with the rapid growth of the two cap
ital cities —Jerusalem and Samaria.
The old religious habits had been
largely set aside by the incoming of
foreigners. The displacing of religion
in the court had made wordliness
fashionable, and with entire light
heartedness the people had given
themselves up to the pursuit of plea
ure and of wealth.
Amos was a herdsman of small des
ert sheep on the hills of Judah, some
dozen miles to the south of Jerusalem.
He descritfes himself as a “pincher of
w’ild figs,” which evidently he gather
ed from time to time to supplement
by their sale the small earnings of his
poor flock. His home in the little
village of Tekoa was on a ridge some
3,000 feet above the Mediterranean.
Alone with his flock he had before
his eyes many a reminder of the God
of his fathers who had brought them
out of Egypt and, delivering them
from the wilderness, had led them
across the Jordan and had given them
the promise of this land as their abid
ing inheritance. And now God was
forgotten, and his people had fallen
Into the ways of the heathen. «
As from time to time he went down
to the town to sell his fleeces or his
figs he was overwhelmed with what
he saw.
Communing alone with God, the
message of prophecy was given to
him. It consists of three short ad
dresses. The first pronounced the
judgment of Jehovah upon the na
tions, the second his judgment upon
his own people, warning them that be
cause he had known them and loved
them, therefore he would visit them
in chastisement. In the third, con
taining our text, he warns them of
their danger, exhorts them to return
to Jehovah and recalls his vision of
the blessedness that is aw-aiting them
in the distant future.
“Bring your offerings,” he says.
“Keep your fasts, be followers of Je
hovah In name. God is not deceived
by hypocrisy. Religion is character:
he sees through your shams: he
knows the perversion of your hearts.
They that lie in beds of iyory and
stretch themselves on beds and couch
es; that eat lambs out of the flock
and sing idle songs to the sound of
the viol; that drink wine in bowls
and anoint themselves with chief oils
and are not grieved with the afflction
of Joseph, they shall go into captivi
ty ; their revelries shall pass away,
for the Lord abhors the excellency of
Jacob, and their houses shall be smit
ten.”
In his distress over the people he
cries unto the l.ord; "Oh. Lord Je
hovah, forgive, i beseech thee,” and
he has a vision of the turning away
of the divine judgment. Then comes
the text. The Lord stands with the
plumb line in his (hand and the plumb
line becomes the graphic figure of the
final word of God to his people.
So the plumb line was given to the
prophet as the message to his people.
We rejoice as we apply this test to
the Christianity of today. Let us see

wnat' its worn is to us.
us look first to the gospel that
we have to preach. That never was
more distinctive than it is now as the
gospel of Jesus Christ. We have gone
through the period in which under the
influence of Hie wonderful discoveries
of science, rationalistic unbelief has
swept over the land and turned many
away from Jesus Christ. But that
day was long passed and has been
followed by another, in which men
have been trying to find an acceptable
substitute for Jesus Christ.
They have been running here and
there after any form of religion, or of
worship that claimed to be new; new
thought, or* new philosophy, or new
revelations, whether coming in the
name of some mystery of Persia or
India, or some device masking as re
ligion or science from Boston. But
men already have found not only that
they cannot live without religion, but
that today no religion will satisfy a
man other than that which reveals
God.
We have come back to the religion
of the supernatural, of the miracles,
and of the resurrection; in short, to
the religion of the crucified and risen
Christ. We must have a religion that
fits the facts of human existence.
The Christian church also, however
much it may have erred in the past,
is aiming to produce the image of
Christ in men. It accepts the rhal
lenge to be a promoter of human wel
fare. and in a very social way. but
that is not its ultimate aim; its aim
always is to make better men, and it
never was true, what has been so
often charged against it. that it is so
busy saving souls that it has not time
to save men. Rather by means of
saving souls it has been sure that it
was saving men. and everywhere to
day the world is awakening to see
that it is the gospel rather than com
merce or education, or the refinement
of cultured society, which is changing
the world.
Hugo Liked Punctuation.
In one of Victor Hugo’s letters to
Baudelaire, he dwells on his passion
for perfect punctuation. As an in
stance of this, Hugo mentions that he
made his printers furnish him with 11
revises of the proofs of "La Legende
des Siecles," the last ten of which
were required only in order that the
commas might be put in the right
places. Thomas Campbell was equally
fastidious in this respect. He once
walked six miles to his printers (and
six miles back again) to have a
comma changed into a semicolon.*
