Tells Of Curing Meat
In Revised Bulletin
r
The Christian and World Peace
Psalm 72:9-17; Ephesians 2:13-19
Golden Text: Matthew 5-9
The early Church was against
war, but with the conversion of
' Constantine, it became war mind
ed, later glorying in the bloody
Crusades. The Church of Rome
drew a distinction between just and
unjust wars which was carried for
ward by the Reformation. Most
Christians supported the World
War. But since the Armistice a
great change has taken place. The
Churches, now sensible of the hor
ror, futility, and insanity of war,
are rendering splendid service to
the peace cause througn local com
mittees and national commissions,
including that of the interdenom
inational Federal Council. There
is also an international organiza
tion, the World Alliance, now oper
ating in thirty-six countries.
The fight for peace bids fair to
be one of the major struggles of
history. It will demand extraord
inary skill, wisdom and patience.
Thj war makers will die hard, for
behind them are centuries of tra
dition. The peace movement is
in its infancy. Yet remarkable
^progress has already been made.
The fundamental problem is not
so much to prevent war, as to get
the nations together. This has
been impressively accomplished by
the League of Nations, which may
be considered mankind’s greatest
step forward; by the World Court,
which Chief Justice Hughes calls
“the most important of all under •
takings for peace”; and by the Bri-
and-Kellogg outlawry of war Pact,
a declaration of momentous sig
nificance./
But many formidable problems
remain unsolved. Very little pro
gress has been registered in the di
rection of disarmament. Indeed
the world today is more heavily
armed than ever before.
Nevertheless the conscience of
Christendom is so aroused over the
crucial issue of peace, upon the
settlement of which the whole fu
ture of civilization depends, that
we can say with Emerson, “War is
on its last legs.” It is certain to
go the way of crucifixion, polyg
amy and slavery. Both the spirit
of Jesus and the collective common
sense of humanity are against it.
The peacemakers will finally pre
vail, for they are indeed God’s
children.
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Oct. 22 —
“An adequate supply of cured and
canned meat and lard greatly re
duces the expenditure for food,”
says J. R. Hawkins, extension live
stock specialist, emphasizing that
meat is not only an important but
an expensive item in the diet and
urging the economy of each farm
family’s making every effort to pro
duce the pork and beef needed for
family use.
South Carolina imports 139,500,-
000 pounds of meats and animal
fats annually, over half of which
is pork and lard, Mr. Hawkins
points out, whereas by taking ad
vantage of the long grazing season
and the great variety of forage
crops much of this meat could be
produced within the state to real
advantage. He estimates that
three hogs weighing 200 pounds
each and one beef animal weighing
600 pounds would furnish enough
meat when properly preserved for
a family of five for a year.
To give up-to-date information
on killing and curing pork Mr.
Hawkins has revised and the Ex
tension Service has published Ex
tension Bulletin 77, Pork for Caro
lina Farmers, which may be hac
free from the Division of Publica
tions at Clemson College and from
county farm agents.

Harlequin Bug
Strays North
Vegetable growers north of the
Cotton Belt who this year met the
harlequin cabbage bug for the
first time may never see it again in
such large numbers. Because of
last winter’s mild weather, this
gaudy colored and destructive in
sect, a native of the South, over
wintered in larger numbers farther
: orth than usual and has now
spread rather widely in Maryland,
Virginia, West Virginia and south
ern Ohio.
This is the first time in a decade
or more, according to the United
■' tates Department of Agriculture,
that a serious outbreak of the har
lequin bug has occurred so far
i.orth. Normal weather next win-
er can be depended on to drive
it back to its regular territory.
This insect pest feeds on cauli
flower, kale, turnips, and radishes,
as well as on cabbage.

Bone-Setters Honored
by Surgeons of Note
The practice of manipulative sur
gery, as bone-setting is now called,
was known to the ancients. An in
teresting treatise on dislocation was
written by no less a doctor than
Hippocrates. There are said to have
been successful bone-setters under
the Roman Republic. Conservative
surgery owes bone-setters a past debt.
When it was beginning to establish it
self they were the only orthopedic sur
geons. Apparently they were recog
nized as legitimate exponents of their
branch of therapeutics. William Ches-
elden, a noted surgeon of the middle
of .the ‘Eighteenth Toentury, seiit ‘ frac
tures to the bone-setters, admitting
that they were more competent than'
he to treat them.
A century, later Sir James Paget
urged his professional brethren,
through the British Medical Journal,
to “learn what was good in the
methods of the bone-setter and eschew
what was harmful.” Still later, Whar
ton Hood, another English doctor, who
greatly admired Robert Hutton, a
bone-setter, studied the latter’s meth
ods and after Hutton’s death de
scribed them in the Lancet. The
present should not forget what it owes
to the past. The foundation of the
modern science of surgery contains
many crude stones.—Detroit Free
Press.
City’* Well-Being First.
in Hearts of Athenians
It was because Fifth century Athens
was a city-state in whose beautifica
tion all her citizens shared, that she
was greater in her creative achieve
ments than the Italy that fell direct
heir to her cultural treasures. In that
first democracy men of ability vied in
serving a civic ideal not for their
own enrichment, but for the city’s
greater glory. So the rich Athenian
esteemed it an honor to finance the
production of plays and public fes
tivals shared in by all; so the thea
ters were made free to all citizens;
so civic tasks were shared around
among the whole electorate. For
the pattern which Athens set for the
world in democracy was of a society
founded upon the well-being of the
citizens as a whole, not of a society
conducted in theory for the ptiblic
ami in reality for the hoary confed
eration of special interests. That is
why an ideal of beauty in life per-
meated Hellas from architecture to
sports, from public festivals to philos
ophy.—“Uncle Dudley,” in the Bos
ton Globe.
Original American Foods
There has been much controversy
concerning the foods originally found
in the Americas^It is generally agreed
that in North America were tobacco,
maize, a certain type of pear and a
small variety of tomato. In Central
America and the islands tiie early ex
plorers also found tobacco and toma
toes. In South America, particularly
Brazil, wild potatoes were found In
abundance, so much so that in about
1840 it was necessary to import thou
sands of these native plants to de
velop in order to save the potato crop
of the world. It was originally thought
that bananas were first fountl in Cen
tral and South America and the is
lands, but later this theory w)\s the
subject of ranch debate, and It Is gen
erally believed today that while bana
nas were originally in that section of
the world, they were also found in
tropical sections of the eastern hem
isphere at the* same time.
World-Famous Cheese
For the past 800 years-Roquefort,,
France, has been the home of the
<;heese that bears l^s name. The i|i-
dividnal flavor of" this cheese is pro
duced by a particular bacteria work
ing on the cheese, supplied by the
natural caves in which the cheese is
made. It is made from the milk of
sheep which feed on herbs growing
only in the r»*efcieKt places.
After the cheese fs made it Is
^ >
sprinkled with specially prepared
bread crumbs. In about six weeks a
green mold appears. At this time the
workers pierce the cheese through
and through with a machine contain-

Goethe’s Joy in Life
Goethe lived joyously for those
things which gave him delight; fresh
air, country exercises, the best in lit
erature and art, the theater, and the
performance of his manifold duties.
He lived for the moment and thought
for eternity. Art and literature, for
him, had to be positive; the product
either of joy or of a need to purge
sorrow-. Negativeness, the besetting
sin of our age, he condemned. “Neg
ativeness is nothing,” was one of his
sayings, which have come down to us,
but it is an axiom we seem to have
forgotten, particularly in literature.—
London Saturday Review.
Balaa Wood
Most balsa wood, now used exten
sively In model airplane making,
comes from the forests of Ecuador,
points out “Popular Aviation.” Balsa
is a Spanish word meaning raft; and
in some parts of South America the
balsa raft Is the only means for trans
porting freight. Ten foot balsa poles
are fastened together with long pegs
made of palm-wood, which give the
raft flexibility. Besides being used
in model airplanes, balsa is used for
insulating refrigerators and for pack
ing pianos and fine fiuroiture.

THE LITTLE BOY
(By Charles Henry Williams.
6th grade pupiL>
There was a little boy,
And a very small boy was he;
He didn’t like to play with big boss.
But he liked to play with me.
»
He had black curly hair, .
With eyes you’d like to see;
He didn’t like to play with girls.
But he liked to play with me.
We often flew our airplanes.
And sailed our boats at sea;
He wouldn’t play by himself.
But he liked to play. with. me:.
