Store* f ive seen films ali through ope and most of the Europeans are fond of Amer- film.s for the simplest reason in the world. They arc better than the European and cheaper. Again.-* these two arguments it is useless to object. \ American films are steadily spread ing the d mocratic ideas of freedom and equaliy all over the world. Old notions of vested privilege, old in stitutions founded upon tradition mart give way. Along with the film come other things that arc uni venal and inter national, that know no nations and do not understand the language of “patriotism”— art, literature and commerce. In thr matter of art it maker no difference where one comes from nor who was one's fath er.. It is the same way with merce, if it is profitable to trade with the people of a country, and no idea* of nationality can prevent that occurrence. In proportion as theme universal ideas, commerce, the movies, art.

Prosser. Lifo Espectancy There is no doubt that the great advances made in medicine and surg ery have added to the span of hu man life, in their ministry agaimt many serious conditions. Our great life insurance companies have*be come more confident in the selection of their risks, as the years ha\e been added to the great average of “expectancy.” But there is a cloud on the hori zon of today. I .nn sure that death:: of individuals between fifty and sixty-five are taking on a very alarm ing increase—so much so, as .o lead me to b.licvo that this is getting to he the most critical period for men who should be at thrir very best. I: i*> not Providence that removes men at such an age; my opinion is becom ing more confirmed inch year, that men are unconsciously doing them selves to death! The newspapers say “heart di sease” of course! the heart usually cea»is to beat when we die; the ques tion is, what made the heart quit working at such an unseemly hour? It is time for investigation, when so-called heart diseases are sweep ing valuable men away before their time. To say that a man died of “dropsy” today, would be to betray the most dense ignorance; “heart disease” is almost as stupid. In over thirty-five years of active practice, I have perhaps found less than a hundred—certainly not many more- -that died of organic heart disease! Diseased kidneys, liver, spleen, stomach, blood, and nerves, undermine the heart until it can per form no more, and there arc other conditions, each remote from the heart, that do the same thing. My opinion is, if men would cease over-eating, they would reduce “hc.art diseases” by half; overwork and excesses kill—and at a time of life when mature judgment in men is most needed.
