Your Health,
The First Concern.
The cause of such a pain is likely
to be found at some distance from the
back; in the tonsils, or tooth sockets,
for instance. A person who really has
kidney trouble, may not be conscious
of any indication of it. If he waits
for signs which he will recognize as
danger signals it may be too late for
him to avoid a wreck.
I do not say that there are no sig-
nals which he might, and perhaps
should, recognize. I think he must
‘have had warnings. But most people
do not pay much attention to these
‘warnings, for the simple reason that
‘they do not expect to be really well.
They think that a certain impairment
of health is the natural condition, es-
pecially in middle life.
People seem to be satisfied if they
can say that they are in “pretty good
health.” But we ought to get rid of
this idea “pretty good health” is
about all we can expect to have. You
say, “of course, at my age I must ex-
pect to have more or less trouble.” It
is common even for a physician to
say to a patient, “Well, for a person of
your age, you are in as good shape as
you could expect to be.”
This is all wrong. You ought not
passively to accept this dictum that
at thirty-five you will show such and
such physical deterioration; that at
forty you must “expect” certain ail-
ments, at fifty certain other axictions,
and at seventy-five be on the brirk of
the grave—if not already in it.
_ There is no natural law necessitat-
ing this program, or anything like it.
Our bodies become diseased and grow
old simply because of injuries to the
cells of which they are composed. We
pay little attention to these injuries
unless they produce a condition that
causes pain.
Pain is almost the only danger sig-
nal we recognize. Yet there may be
serious internal disturbances which do
not cause pain; at least, not enough
pain to rouse us from our easy-going
assumption that we are “as well as we
can expect to be.”
There are almost countless persons
who know, or suspect, that they have
diseased tonsils, or chronic infections
of the nose and throat, or decayed
teeth and infected tooth sockets. Yet
they do not seem to know that these
conditions are danger signals. It is
not until they find that they are “get-
ting rheumatic,” or that they have
chronic headache, or that their heart
is “going back on them,” that they
stop, look, and listen.
Perhaps you develop arthritis when
you are forty. You regard the first
acute signs of it as a danger signal,
and are properly worried. But the
chances are that the caution signal
has been there for years, perhaps
ever since you were a child. You may
say that you did not know it was
there. But you would have known,
if you had received a thorough phys-
ical examination of the whole body.
There is really very little mystery
about the cause of old age and death.
We are lacking in knowledge of cer-
tain factors which probably are at
work, but it is easy to group the
types of influences which are respon-
sible for what we call “growing old.”
Heredity plays its part, of course.
Certain families show a lack of re-
sistance to disease, an incapacity for
life struggle. But if it is known that
there is a susceptibility to a certain
disease, measures can be taken to
avoid it.
. In this connection there is a cur-
ious trait in many persons: They hate
to have a medical man probe deeply
into their physical condition for fear
he will unearth some disease, or some
threat of disease. They seem to think
that “whatever you don’t know won't
hurt you!”
A good many people worry secret-
yy over the fear, or the suspicion, that |
they have some incipient disease. But |
they won’t take steps to find out the |
truth, because they say that if the!
trouble is there they are better off |
not to know it; and if it isn’t there
then it won’t hurt them, anyway.
This is strange reasoning. If the:
trouble really exists, it probably will |
yield to treatment. Almost certain- |
ly their lives and usefulness can be
prolonged. And if it isn’t there, they
will be far better off to know it; for, !
although the imagined disease does |
not hurt them, the fear and worry |
will have bad effects.
People need to be told that there
are few chronic maladies—even those
of a serious character which affect
the heart, blood vessels, and kidneys
—which cannot be held in check. The |
discovery that you have these mala- |
dies does not necessarily condemn
you to an early death.
Investigation has shown that a |
large number of persons who were re- |
fused by insurance companies, be-
cause they were found to have just
such physical impairments as I have
mentioned, nevertheless lived far be- |
yond the “expectation of life” to
Wish they were supposed to be limit- |
Aside from hereditary insufficien- |
cies, infection is probably the great- |
est factor in destroying the body. |
When we talk of infection, the aver- |
age person thinks of such things as
small pox, typhoid fever, scarlet fev- |
er, diphtheria, tuberculosis, and other
epidemic diseases. It is
these directly cause a good many
deaths, And they indirectly cause
other deaths because of conditions |
which remain long after the initial
attack.
But there are other forms of infec-
tion which pass unrecognized until a !
vast amount of damage is done. The ,
reassuring feature of the situation is |
{
true that |
AMERICA FACES EAST.
It’s the eleventh hour of the
eleventh day of the eleventh month.
On Broadway and on State street; in
Portland, Ore., in Portland, Maine, in
Duluth, Minn.,, and in New Orleans
the roar of traffic is hushed. In the
factories and on the farms, men drop
whatever tools of trade are in their
hands and—America faces East!
For this is Armistice day and all
over the United States for the space
of two minutes Americans pause in
their every day tasks to pay reverent
tribute to the dead.
America faces East! And the
thoughts of most of us, as we stand
uncovered amid familiar surroundings,
speed across the Atlantic to some
hillside in France where the long
rows of white crosses mark the last
resting place of those whe brought
about the mighty event which we cel-
ebrate on November 11. It may be
at Romagne-sous-Montfaucon, where
began that “soul trying struggle of
many weeks between the Argonne
forest and the Meuse, which lasted
until the hour when Germany cried
‘enough.’ ” Or it may be in Flanders
field in Belgium or at Brookwood,
England, for there, toc, these gleam-
ing markers stand guard over the
sleep of American soldiers.
Armistice day is a day of remem-
brance—a day to recall that breath-
less moment nine years ago when a
welcome message was flashed to the
waiting world. The message con-
tained the official news story sent out
by the Associated Press, which read
as follows:
“Washington, Monday, Nov. 11,
2:48 a. m.—The armistice between
‘Germany, on one hand, and the allied
governments and the United States,
on the other, has been signed.
“The State department announced
at 2:45 o'clock this morning that
Germany had signed.
“The department’s announcement
simply said: “The armistice has been
signed.”
“The World war will end this morn-
ing at 6 o'clock, Washington time, 11
o’clock Paris time.
“The armistice was signed by the
German representatives at midnight.
“This announcement was made by
the State department at 2:50 o’clock
this morning.
“The announcement was made ver-
bally by an official of the State de-
partment in this form:
“ ‘The armistice has been signed.
It was signed at 5 o’clock a. m., Paris
time (midnight eastern time) and
hostilities will cease at 11 o’clock this
morning, Paris time, (6 o’clock east-
ern time).
“The terms of the armistice will
not be made public until later.”
Armistice day is a day of remem-
brance—not of the riotous scenes
which took place and the mad frenzy
of joy which possessed the whole na-
tion on the morning of November 11,
1918, when America’s millions realiz-
ed that it was “over over there,” not
of the triumphal processions when
the khaki-clad million returned home
in 1919 and 1920. It is a day for re-
membrance of those who did not re-
turn, who were destined never to
hear the cheers of the multitude nor
to know whether or not they had
died in vain—America’s war dead.
From its first observance Armistice
day has taken on its memorial signif-
icance rather than that of a day of
rejoicing. There have been few more
solemn moments in the history of this
country than on Armistice day, 1921,
when they brought America’s Un-
known Soldier back to his native land
and buried him in Arlington. Though
the thoughts of individual Americans
may turn to some one cross in a
French cemetery where lies a brother
or a son or a husband, when the morn-
ing of November 11 dawns, America
as a whole faces East and the observ-
ance of Armistice day centers around
this national shrine, the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier. For here is the
common symbol for us all.
And on this day we remember the
words of President Harding, uttered
on that other armistice day:
We do not know the eminence of his
birth, but we do know the glory of his
! death. He died for his country, and
‘ greater devotion hath no man than
i this. He died unquestioning, uncom-
{ plaining, with faith in his heart and
hope on his lips, that his country
should triumph and its civilization
survive. As a typical soldier of this
representative democracy, he fought
! and died, believing in the indisputable
justice of his country’s cause.
Sleeping in these hallowed grounds
are thousands of Americans who have
given their blood for the baptism of
freedom and its maintenance, armed
exponents of the nation’s conscience.
It is better and nobler for their deeds.
Burial here is rather more than a
sign of the government’s favor; it is
a suggestion of a tomb in the heart
of the nation, sorrowing for its noble
dead.
Today’s ceremonies proclaim that
the hero unknown is not unhonored.
We gather him to the nation’s breast,
within the shadow of the Capitol, of
the towering shaft that honors Wash-
ington, the great father, and the ex-
quisite monument of Lincoln, the
martyred savior. Here the inspira-
tions of yesterday and the conscience
of today forever unite to make the
Republic worthy of his death for flag
and country. :
I speak not as a pacifist fearin
war, but as one who loves justice an
hates war. I speak as one who be-
lieves the highest function of govern-
ment is to give its citizens the se-
curity of peace, the opportunity to
achieve, and the pursuit of happiness.
As we return this poor clay to its
mother soil, garlanded by love and!
covered with the decorations that
only nations can bestow, I can sense
the prayers of our people, of all peo-
ples, that this Armistice day shall
mark the beginning of a new and last-
ing era of peace on earth, good will
among men.
Or we may remember that splen-
did tribute, written by Frank M.
O’Brien, which appeared in the New
York Herald on November 11, 1921,‘
and which was awarded the Pulitzer
prize for the best editorial article of
the year. In it he spoke for ali
Americans when he wrote of The Un-
known Soldier.
That ‘which takes place today at
a symbol, a mystery and a tribute.
It is an entombment only in the phys-
ical sense. It is rather the enthrone-
ment of Duty and Honor. This man
who died for his country is the sym-
bol of these qualities; a far more per-
fect symbol than any man could be
whose name and deeds we know. He
represents more, really, than the un-
identified dead, for we cannot sepa-
rate them spiritually from the war
heroes whose names are written on
their gravestones. He—this spirit
whom we honor—stands for the un-
selfishness of all.
This, of all monuments to the dead,
is lasting and immutable. So long
as men revere the finer things of life
the tomb of the nameless hero will
remain a shrine. Nor, with the shifts
of time and mind, can there be a
changing of values. No historian
shall rise to modify the virtues or the
faults of the Soldier. He has an im-
munity for which kings might pray.
The years may bring erosion to the
granite but not to the memory of the
Unknown.
It is a common weakness of human-
ity to ask the question that can never
be answered in this life. Probably
none to whom the drama of the Un-
known Soldier has appealed has not
wondered who, in the sunshine of
earth, was the protagonist of today’s
ceremony. A logger from Penobscot?
An orchardist from the Pacific coast?
A well-driller from Texas? A ma-
chinist from Connecticut? A lad who
left his hoe to rust among the Mis-
souri corn? A longshoreman from
Hell’s Kitchen? Perhaps some youth
from the tobacco fields, resting again
in his own Virginia? All that the
army tells us of him is that he died
in battle. All that the heart tells is
that some woman loved him. More
than that no man shall learn. In
this mystery, as in the riddle of the
universe, the wise wonder; but they
would not know.
What were his dreams, his ambi-
tions? Likely he shared those com-
mon to the millions: a life of peace
and honest struggle, with such small
success as comes to most who try;
and at the end the place on the hill-
side among his fathers. Today to do
honor at his last resting place come
the greatest soldiers of the age; fam-
ous statesmen from other continents
the President, the high judges
and the legislators of his own coun-
try, and many men who, like himself,
fought for the flag. At his bier will
gather the most remarkable group
which fate reserved for him is, in-
stead of the narrow cell on the vil-
lage hillside, one as lasting as that
of Rameses and as inspiring as Na-
poleon’s.
It is a great religious ceremony,
this burial today. The exaltation of
the nameless bones would not be pos-
sible except for Belief. Where were
Duty and Honor, the well-springs of
Victory, if mankind feared that death
drew a black curtain behind which
lay nothing but the dark? So all in
whom the spark of hope has not died
can well believe that we to whom the
Soldier is a mystery are not a mystery
to him. They can believe that the
watchers at Arlington today are pot
merely a few thousands of the living
but the countless battalion of the de-
parted. “Though he were dead, yet
shall he live”—there is the promise to
which men hold when everything of
this earth has slipped away.
All the impressive ritual of today
would be a mockery if we did not be-
lieve that, out in an infinity which
astronomers cannot chart or mathe-
maticians bound, the Unknown Sol-
dier and all the glorious dead whom
we honor in his dust are lookin
down upon this little spinning ball,
conscious of our reverence. And when
noon strikes, signal for the moment
of silent prayer, few of those who
stand with bared head will lack con-
Unknown Soldier and those who, like
him, died for this Republic.
Unknown, but not unknowing!
Armistice day this year will have
a greater significance than ever be-
fore for the reason that among those
who will join in its observance are
100,000 or more members of the
American Legion, who crossed the
Atlantic in September to attend the
annual Legion convention in Paris.
While they were there they adopted
a resolution to have Armistice day
made a national legal holiday. For
although it is generally observed as
a holiday in the United States, it has
not yet been proclaimed as a nation-
al legal holiday. The following
States have made it a legal holiday by
Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana,
Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Ne-
braska, New Jersey, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Dakota, Tennessee
Texas, Vermont, Virginia, an
the territory of Hawaii. In e
other States it is a legal holiday by
Governor’s proclamation only. This
“Second A. E. F.” is home now and
its members are bringing with them
the memories of their recent visit to
those places where they made history
nine and ten years ago. They're
bringing, too, memories of their visit
to the places where once they saw a
hell of gunfire blast all signs of life
from the earth, but where now green
grass grows as a vivid background
for the long rows of white crosses—
in the Oise-Aisne, at St. Mihiel, in
the Aisne-Marine, at the Somme and
at Susesnes. And they remember
reading on the crosses the name of
some buddy, with whom they lived
and laughed through it all until a
burst of shrapnel signalled “partner-
ly that Armistice day will take on a
new meaning to them.
What will that meaning be? A
day of rejoicing that when others
died they were spared. A day for envy
of the peaceful sleep of those who
hold the bivouac of the dead while
they must face each day the trouble-
some problems of modern life? Or
will it be a day for seeing clearly the
.uselessness of war and for a high re-
| solve that “this must not be again.”
