The Reader's View (Continued) the Institute's service, and it also has thousands of individual subscribers.

While it is true that the insurance companies extend these benefits to policy-holders through the Institute in the belief that it is sound business policy as well as sound humanity, the Institute should not be made to appear as a mere commercial branch of a business that has no control or direction over its affairs and simply buys its product. It is also fair to state that the Life Insurance Presidents' Association has never taken any official cognizance of the Institute, although the discussions at its meetings of health conservation among policyholders have helped to spread the gospel. EUGENE L. FISKE, M.D., Medical Director.

A MAN, A BOY, AND A DOG They were walking over a rough trail in the heart of the Maine woods, these three; the dog, city-bred, poor, emaciated, and ungainly for he had been sick- -save in the eyes of his friend and master, the boy, in whose eyes he was a constant delight.

In sheer exuberance of spirit, the dog, as best he could on his poor, weak legs, would run ahead, and stop from time to time to wonder why his companions could not share his thrills.

His passion for discovery uncovered to him the dead body of a porcupine, and presently, with quills in his tongue and in his body, he crawled to the feet of his

master.

Later, sitting on a moss-covered boulder which cast its shadow over a beautiful pool, the boy said, "Papa, if God is as good as they say he is, why does he let people get hurt?"

The man replied: "Last night we were looking at the stars. We agreed that if the world was only as big as some of the planets, you and I must look pretty small to whoever is running the machinery that keeps the stars in their places. If we are so very small and He is so very great, and is interested in us, wouldn't He do for us what you did for the dog and I did for you? You hurt the dog. It made you cry.

FICTION

Balance (The). A Novel. By Francis R. Bellamy. Doubleday, Page & Co., New York. $1.35.

Hillman (The). By E. Phillips Oppenheim, Little, Brown & Co., Boston. $1.35.

This reads like an early work; at least it has little of the author's usual stirring plot and action, and as a study of English county life it is tame.

Shifting Spell (The). By Leslie Probyn. Duffield & Co., New York. $1.35.

A mystery tale, too deliberately told, and relying too much on the marvels of hypnotism.

Unwelcome Man (The). A Novel. By Waldo Frank. Little, Brown & Co., Boston. $1.50. HISTORY, POLITICAL ECONOMY, AND POLITICS Justice to All. By Katherine Mayo. With an Introduction by Theodore Roosevelt. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York. $2.50. This readable and delightfully illustrated volume is the story of the Pennsylvania State Police and is an appeal for the establishment of the principle of the State police throughout the rural districts of the United States. It seems as if no other argument were needed than the records of the Pennsylvania State police for the establishment of a similar body in such a State as New York, for example. In small towns, villages, and rural communities the difficulty with local police is that local interests and local fears often influence, although perhaps unconsciously, local police officers. It is hard for a policeman to reprimand or arrest a neighbor with whom he is living on good social terms. What can be done in mountain or in rural communities has been proved in New York State during the building of the great Catskill aqueduct. The villages and communities through which that great engineering work proceeded were protected and maintained in order by a special force called the aqueduct police. They were a fine body of men and did their work admirably. Is there any conceivable reason why their work should not be continued and extended through the State? The widespread discussion over the true functions of the militia has brought people to see more and more that a properly organized National Guard ought not to be called out for police duty in emergency. The defense of a country against aggression and the policing of a country to maintain domestic order are two separate things. Miss Mayo's book, which tells the story of the remarkable work of Major John C. Groome, Superintendent of the Pennsylvania State Police, puts in the most readable and effective the unanswerway able arguments for the State police system.

POETRY

Sunlit Hours (The). By Emile Verhaeren. Translated by Charles R. Murphy. The John Lane Company, New York. $1. Voices of Song (The). By James W. Foley. E. P. Dutton & Co., New York. $1.50. This is a volume of cheerful and optimistic poems by a writer whose publishers claim for him the mantle of James Whitcomb Riley. Many of the poems in this volume remind us more strongly in thought and manner of the less successful newspaper verses of Ella Wheeler Wilcox than of the distinctive creations of the late Mr. Riley. However, the book contains many pleasant, if not always inspired, lines. Mr. Foley's books will doubtless be read in many places where his more pretentious rivals will

never be permitted to get their feet (metrical and metaphoric) over the threshold.

ESSAYS AND CRITICISM

Dante. By C. H. Grandgent, L.H.D. (Master Spirits of Literature, edited by George Rapall Noyes and Walter Morris Hart.) Duffield & Co., New York. $1.50.

Professor Grandgent has written a book for which the world has been waiting. Perhaps no one was ever more characteristic of his age than was Dante. Many books have been written about him, but we have always needed just this compact study of Dante as representative of society and politics, of Church and State, of the language, poetry, philosophy, and theology of medieval times. The book is an excellent one to read before or in connection with Mr. Taylor's "Medieval Mind " or Mr. Herbert Fisher's "Medieval Empire."

RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY

Divinity of Christ (The): In the Gospel of John. By A. T. Robertson, D.D., LL.D. The Fleming H. Revell Company, New York. $1. The author is an eminent American scholar. He acknowledges a mystery clinging to the Fourth Gospel, as to the authorship of which he sees no prospect of agreement. He gives his reasons for accepting it as written by John, the bosom disciple of Jesus, and as teaching Jesus' deity. This "secret of Jesus" he finds disclosed in his heart-to-heart table-talk at the Last Supper-"he that hath seen me hath seen the Father." The thesis to which the Gospel thus leads him up is, "Jesus is God."

It is certain that Paul, in epistles of earlier date than the earliest Gospel, and of undisputed authorship, never taught that. Sermon on the Mount (The). By Bishop

Gore. (The Wayfarers' Library.) E. P. Dutton & Co., New York. 40c.

Truth about Our Dead (The). Told by

Those Who Know. By Lida A. Churchill. New Tide Publishing Company, New York. $1. We cannot better intimate to our readers the spirit of this book than by the following quotation: "The plane to which the vast majority of people go when they leave this physical earth is not away off in space, as we were formerly taught, but just outside and around us, mingling with our world as mist mingles with rain. .. In this perfectly natural world are the perfectly natural things which belong to it: real homes for those who desire homesfor there, as here, there are "free lances who crave no steady abiding-place-on real streets or among real fields, shaded by real trees, overlooked by real mountains, with brooks and birds and shrubs and flowers, institutions of learning, libraries, places of recreation, everything which belongs to a beautiful, amply and adequately providedfor world." Interesting if true.

WAR BOOKS

[ocr errors]

False Witness. Translation of "Klokke Roland."

By Johannes Jörgensen. The George H. Doran
Company, New York. $1.

Jörgensen's book, in its Danish form, had an immense success in Scandinavia. It is really a reply to the "Appeal to the Civilized World" by German professors. Its condemnation of Germany is scathing; all the more that the author writes like a poet inspired to prophesy.

History of the Great War (A). By Arthur Conan Doyle. Vol. I-The British Campaign in France and Flanders, 1914. The George H. Doran Company, New York. $2.

Petit Belge (Un). By Alys de Caraman-Chimay
Borghese. Rome, Imprimerie du Senat.
This little volume deserves mention even
among the great flood of books in all lan-
guages produced by the European war.
The author is a Belgian lady who has mar-
ried an Italian and now lives in Rome. She
has successfully undertaken to narrate the
history and human suffering of the invasion
of Belgium in the form of a story of peas-
ant life. An engaging though tragic love
story forms the thread upon which the his-
torical facts are strung. An appendix con
tains the now famous documents which
portray the relative attitudes of the Kaiser
and the heroic King of Belgium. It is a
story worth reading for the charming pic-
tures it gives of farm and village life in
Belgium. The student of the European
war who reads French will find its inter-
pretation of the Belgian character and its
brief but complete array of the essential
documents connected with the Belgian in-
vasion valuable for his records. Any profits
accruing from the sale of the book will be
devoted to Belgian relief. The book is not
published in this country, but may be ordered
through any dealer in foreign literature.
Provocation of France (The). By J. C.

Bracq, LL.D. The Oxford University Press,
New York. $1.25.

One of the recent German notes said that the Imperial Government of Germany was content to leave the origin of the European war to the judgment of history. The present volume, whose author is Professor of French Literature in Vassar College, is an essay in the study of the historical origins of the conflict between Germany and France. While, of course, it is thoroughly pro-French, it is dispassionate and is not an attempt to appeal to the merely "sentimental" patriot. It is a serious study of the period between the Franco-Prussian War and the outbreak of the present conflict, and is a useful contribution to the material which will in the future be used by historians as descriptive of one of the greatest catastrophes of civilization.

War and Humanity (The). By James M. Beck, LL.D. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York. $1.50.

Mr. Beck is a distinguished American lawyer especially qualified by knowledge and experience to discuss questions of international relations. His book entitled "The Evidence in the Case," which treats of the invasion of Belgium, has won a permanent reputation. The present volume is based on articles or public addresses which the author has made during the progress of the war, but it is not ephemeral. It frankly discusses the relation of the Government of the United States and the people of the United States to the war, and justly, in our opinion, criticises with some severity the course which our Government has followed. Of this criticism the author well says, "To those who may suggest that the criticisms of the President are too severe

If Stomachs Only Had Windows!

EUGENE CHRISTIAN

If our stomachs only had windows so that we could see and realize what happens in the struggle to digest some of the combinations of food we swallow, it is likely that our habits of eating would be revolutionized overnight. I believe that fully 90% of all sickness is caused by the inability of our digestive organs to cope with the food we ask them to assimilate. So ill-chosen are our daily foods that we not only fail many times to benefit by their brain and body-building elements, but are also unable to properly and regularly eliminate the waste.

The dangerous body poisons which are formed as a consequence seep into the blood and gradually lower our efficiency, sap our vitality, and rush a great many of us to an early death. Eugene Christian, the noted food specialist, says the fact that the average American dies at 43 is due more to wrong food combinations than to any other cause. Acidity, fermentation and constipation are merely symptoms of serious ills that must naturally follow unless the cause is eliminated.

This question of proper food combinations is the most important in the field of eating. Very often one food of great value in itself, when eaten in combination with another equally good food, produces a chemical reaction in the stomach and literally explodes. Is it any wonder then that so few of us are more than 50% efficient in our daily lives, that we accomplish just about one-half the tasks which we set out to do, and see so many of our fine ambitions crumble to dust?

But just as wrong food combinations cause sickness, so do right combinations prevent and correct it by removing the cause. If we will give Nature half a chance, she will do her share towards producing the results for which we are striving, as Eugene Christian is proving for hundreds of people today—and as he proved in his own case.

Twenty years ago Eugene Christian was at death's door; for several years previously he had suffered all the agonies of acute stomach and intestinal troubles, until his doctors-among them some of the most noted specialists in the country-gave him up to die. As a last resort, he commenced to study the food question himself. As a result of what he learned, he succeeded in literally eating his way back to health without drugs or medicines of any kind, and in a remarkably short space of time.

Eugene Christian is to-day nearly sixty years old or shall I say young? For he has more vitality, more ginger, more physical endurance than most youngsters

By R. W. LOCKWOOD

in their teens. For almost fifteen years he has not had even so much as a cold.

To-day Eugene Christian is teaching hundreds of other men and women how to eat their way to buoyant health and increased energy by properly combining and proportioning their every-day foods, and entirely without the use of medicine. An interesting feature of Christian's work is the fact that you can secure the foods he recommends at any store or out of any garden. No special or patented foods are required. I have been told that a number of wealthy people who have gone to him after everything else had failed have been so happy at their complete restoration to health through his simple suggestions that they have voluntarily sent him checks for from $500 to $1,000 in addition to his regular charge.

So much interest has been displayed throughout the country in the results of corrective eating that Eugene Christian has written a set of 24 Little Lessons for the use of the thousands of people unable to call at his office.

These Little Lessons, which are sent for examination to any one on request, contain the boiled down experience of Eugene Christian's twenty years' study of foods and their relation to health and efficiency, and give actual menus covering every condition of health and sickness, for every age and for all seasons, climates, and occupations.

The letters received by Eugene Christian from users of these lessons telling their experiences with Corrective Eating are as startling as they are full of interest.

Just the other day he received a letter from Mr. I. J. Ayres, head of an insurance agency in Hutchins, Texas, who wrote:

[ocr errors]

My health began to fail about one year ago. Up to this time I had enjoyed reasonably good health all my life-am 58 years old. I had, however, been troubled with constipation nearly all my life. My health grew worse and I lost in weight from 140 to 120 pounds. When I began using the Little Lessons I began to improve from the first, and now for months I have felt better than I have for years past, and am completely cured of constipation. My restoration to health is due to the Little Lessons in Scientific Eating."

Another letter of interest just received is from a prominent Manchester, New Hampshire, man. He writes: "At the time I sent for the Little Lessons I was troubled with a very bad acid stomach, fermentation, etc. My stomach pained me as badly as any ulcerated tooth. After receiving them (the lessons) I followed

directions and in about ten days the pain grew less. In two weeks I was free from pain. Gradually I grew stronger, also gaining weight. Weight was 112-now 130. Last June it was an effort for me to walk one mile. Since last November I have been in the woods almost daily hunting and walking from four to fifteen miles per day." And he says "the lessons did it."

Another interesting letter is from the head of a manufacturing concern in Fillmore, New York, who writes: "I was troubled with fermentation and constipation, had to take something every day to move my bowels, my weight was normal but I had no strength. I followed your directions and am much better. Do not take any laxatives-bowels move every day and am much stronger."

These are only a few, but they are typical of letters that come almost every day from users of the Little Lessons, and the message is always the same. As one woman writes: "Corrective Eating has relieved me of much suffering—in fact, I think it has saved my life, for which I am so grateful." And then she tells the whole story of how after everything else had failed and she was growing worse each day the Little Lessons showed her the way to health and strength.

Truly these lessons are doing a remarkable work in putting Eugene Christian's scientific knowledge of food in the hands of so many thousands of sufferers throughout the country.

With these lessons at hand it is just as though you were in personal contact with this great food specialist, because every point is so thoroughly covered and so clearly explained that you can scarcely think of a question which isn't answered. You can start eating the very things that will help to produce the increased physical and mental energy which you are seeking the day you receive the lessons. And you are quite likely to feel some results after your very first balanced meal.

If you would like to examine the 24 Little Lessons in Corrective Eating, simply write the Corrective Eating Society, Dept. 152, 460 Fourth Avenue, New York City. It is not necessary to enclose any money with your request. Merely ask to have the lessons mailed for five days' trial with the understanding that you will either send the small price asked, $3, or remail the books. Merely clip out and mail the following form instead of writing a letter, as this is a copy of the official blank adopted by the Society and will be honored at once.
