A BOOMING NATION. by John Joseph'Gaines, M. D Springfield News. Some African savage* < believe that gorillas and chimpanzees can talk, but hide their knowledge, leat they be put to work. - Other savages ha^e an evolution theory of their own. The Batagni, Congo natives, tell the Rev. H. C. Graham that monkeys arc de scended from men that have been disgraced. “We are better and prouder than the apes,” say these practi cal black men, “therefore we eat them.” jX. . Samuel Insull tells the world that electricity is only beginning its work. We are a little way, bu$ not far, from the savage that fell down and worshipped an unknown malignant devil when the light ning flashed. Railroads will soon change from steam to electric power, and that will call /or twenty-four billion more hours of kilowatt energy, says Mr. Insull. Farm* will be “wired” for electric light and power. wn the hj for the ladies am* Mi. A " A. Mvers for the men. *ented with Supper in twi Mr*'.

Elmer Schlesinger 'says electricity, in this century, will do for the world’s troubles and debts what steam did for the world in the last century, after Waterloo, Europe ✓ and the nations were called “hope lessly” bankrupt. In proportion, their debts were greater than they ^are today. Steam came and debts were paid with the greatest ease, i b.-.fiW-ntey Eurooe 'cnew prosperity such as ne^ one Ireamed of. It was so great that* nations could not resist fighting >ver it. What steam did for the last century elecricity will do for ’.his. And -that is no dream. SLEEP Physiologists know th*t repair goes on only during sleep, that is, the transformation of inert matter (food) into living, active tissue. Physicians know that if sleep is in terfered with in an intemperate manner, the human machine will run down in exact proportion to the violations indulged. But, man is by nature, has ever been, will ever be—a rebel. He does not like to bow the knee, even hough longer and healthier life is the reward for so doing. He eats his heaviest meal at the onset of evening, when digestion is retiring for the day. He works his brain, after one manner or another until midnight or even later. There are clubs, lodges, meetings of the “board”, smokers, theatres. After these he is “dead to the world” until barely time to rush into hi* garments and hi^Ty, breakfastless, to the office. After a season, he finds that he awakens less readily— he buys an\^lann-clock. This rau cous device literally jerks him out of bed, more tired than when he went to sleep. Re becomes stupid in the office, gets "dizzy spells” and finally consults the doctor. Yes, he has high blood-pressure* far above normal! The diagnosis, overwork! The warning that an out-door va cation is imperative, else the crash will come. Reluctantly the ten-day country life is undertaken-r-the simpler life. Relief is prompt as a rule—he gets better, and goes directly back to the violations of right living that made him sick! Too often he pays the penalty with his life, before the age of sixty! Then we say he* died of over work. The facts are, that work intelli gently followed out, is tonic healthful, ami never harmful. Th( perversion of night into day is s violation of the law of right tfv ing, that is sure to'draS* its penal ty with unerring exactness.

The account of th<* miracle runs as follows: A woman whose mind had become unbalanced was carried to the Chapel of St. Joseph’s Hospital, where the “exorcism ritual’’ was performed, in Latin, not understoojl by the patient. - The question “Who are you?” the throat of the woman in a deep masculine * voice/ "BKELZKBl'B.” Asked why he had taken posses sion of the woman, Beelzebub re-* plied, “BECAUSE OF MALEDIC* TION.” • . The fiend promised to leave the woman at 2.o'clock that afternoon, but Aiid not actually leave until, half-past 5, which is about what you would expect of a demon. The woman then relaxed and is getting better. In a raging storm h- mid-ocean, Captain George Fried of the S. S. Roosevelt directed the rescue of. crew from the disabled British freighter A.ntinoe, recently. For three • days Commander Fried fought mountainous seas to take the sailors off the doomed .ship. Two of his own men w:ere washed overboard and drowned. This miracle, not a* yet vouched for by church authorities, was an every.k*y oeearenee in the mid dle ages, w hen demons were more active, numerous and efficient than at present. It is romantic, refreshing and interesting to have onP 0 f them resume business at the old stand in theke days of radios, automo biles, and newspapers. It is :-aid, however, that the voice of Mil waukee’s Beelzebub 'indicated irritation and a feeling that times are not what they were in the good old days.
