Rot From Within
By Dr. CharleB L. Allen
Pastor, Grace Methodiel Church, Atlanta
Dr. Arnold Toynbee in his
comprehensive study of 26 civili¬
zations makes the judicious com¬
ment that most civilizations which
have declined and fallen were vic¬
tims, not of enemy invasion, but
of their own internal weakness.
In other words, something goes
wrong within a civilization and
this Anally destroys that civiliza
tioui
I wonder if the same may not
be true of persons. It is very
easy for us to blame others for
our failures, Or we may blame
extenuating circumstances. But
it is diAicult for most of us everto
conclude that the trouble lies, not
in our stars, but in ourselves.
Of course, other people do af¬
fect greatly our lives. What we
are is determined in no small
measure bv the women we mairy,
What we accomplish is helped or
hindered by the people with
whom we work. Our neighbors
in-laws, children, and associates
all leave their marks on our lives
Sometimes we have little to say
about the environment in which
we live or the mental atmosphere
that surrounds us- But more im¬
portant than any of these things
is the integrity with which we
face life, accept life, and then
live our lives. To a greater
measure than wo are often willing
to admit, we are the makers and
determiners of our lives,

ATHLETE FOOT, RINGWORM
ON W AY OUT__.
TUSKEGEE, Ala.—That terrible
scourge of mankind, athlete’s foot,
may soon be no more.
Dr. Harvey Blank, skin specialist
from the University of Miami, speak¬
ing at the annual John A. Andrew
Clinical Society meeting at Tuskegee
Institute, said Tuesday a drug is al¬
ready being processed both for public use
that is a sure cure for ringworm
and athlete’s foot.
Blank is one of the men who first
tested the drug, it an antibiotic, on and hu¬
mans. He said was discovered
tested on animals by the British.
Blank said the drug was known by
the Latin name of griseofulvin, which
means “gray-tan.”
He said it had proved to be 100
per cent successful in tests on about
200 patients, and that reactions had
been few and minor.
Blank described the drug as a rela¬
tive of penicillin derived from mold
which grows on broth.
He called it the first practical fun¬
gus killing drug yet discovered, and
said it would also cure other fungus
diseases such as a scalp condition
found among youngsters and a thick¬
ening and yellowing of the fingernails
and toenails.
Blank, who did research under con¬
tract with the Public Health Service,
said the military was especially in¬
terested in his studies.
Some 300 leading medical authori¬
ties from throughout the U. S. are

! TOLSTOY DISCUSSES
RIGHT LIVING
If a man is working in order to
and accomplish whatever he has in hand
not his merely making a pretence of
work, actions will necessarily fol¬
low one another in a certain sequence
determined by the nature of the work.
If he postpones to a later time what
from the nature of the work should be
done first, or if he altogether omits
some essentital part, he is certainly
not working seriously but only pre¬
tending. This rule holds unalterably
true whether the work be physical ot
not. As a man seriously wishing tc
bake bread first kneads the flour and
then heats the brek-oven, sweeps out
the ashes, and so on. so also a mao
seriously adopts wishing to lead a good lifja
a certain order of succession
in the attainment of the necessary
qualities.
This rule is especially important
in regard to right living; for whereat
in the case of physical work, such a#
by making the bread, it is easy to discover
result whether a man is ser¬
iously engaged in work or only pre¬
ble tending, in no such verification is possi¬
without regard to goodness of life. If
ing the kneading the dough or heat¬
to make oven bread—as people merely pretend
theatre—-then the absence they do in the
makes of bread
it obvious that they were only
pretending; but when a man pretends
to be leading a good life we have no
such direct indications that he is not
for striving seriously but only pretending;
life not only are the results of a good
to those not always evident and palpable
results around, but very often such
even appear to them harmful.
acknowledgment Respect for a man’s activity and the
of its utility and
pleasantness by hie contemporaries,
furnish no proof of the real goodness
of his life.
from Therefore, to distinguish the reality
the mere appearance of a good
life, the indication given by a regular
order of succession in the acquirement
of the essential qualities is especially
valuable. And this indication is valu¬
able, not so much to enable us to dis¬
cover the seriousness of other men’s
strivings after goodness as to test
this sincerity in ourselves, for in this
respect selves we are liable to receive our¬
even more than we deceive
others.— Leo Tolstoy. 1892.
WHEN DAY IS DONE
By Earle J. Grant
When Doraville, Georgia
the day is done
Crimson swirls are left
By the setting sun.
A lavender hood
Is draped by dusk
Over field and wood.
Of roses the air smells
And stillness is broken
By birds’ songs in dells.
Stars gleam in the sky’s dome,
God’s silver lamps,
That guide travelers home.
NOTICE
When you give orders to printers
away from Cleveland for Letter¬

for Cleveland’s progress and fu¬
ture growth? Don’t you think
that The Courier is entitled to
all the Job Printing in Cleve¬
land? Well, then give us your
order.
