Aa a result of his death the vacancy will be filled by appointment by Governor "Happy" Chandler, who haa long held senatorial aspirations and it is taken for granted by many that he will resign as chief executive and be appointed to the place by his successor. Lieutenant Governor Johnson. And “Happy”, who is a real fellow any time and any place would give a good account of such a trust.

But there ■ i Is. I believe, a compelling reason . why In this particular war so radi- j cal a departure from the historic American policy te justified and necessary. The compelling reason te that in the world aa it ia today, the United States cannot afford to become a participant in the Euro-| Pean war. And it is because rise - bill before Congress goes as tar as it te possible to go by legisls lion now in making participation unlikely and unnecessary that 1 ' think it ought to be enacted, and I that every effort should be made to see that the pra<Heal admima iration ot the tew is made workable and effective. — By Waller 1 Lippmann. -o The first steam locomotive to' run over a U. 8. rail road chugged and puffed Its way along a track J between Honesdale and Carbondale.

Indiana. "Background For Medical Practice” Article I Every form of practice or be-! lief dealing with the diagnnsls and the eulmeqnent treatment of the| ills that beset mankind has taken . its inceptive or prime idea from I very ancient and venerable snort • I ••a. In endeavoring to ekt (mate just how anclet and how venerable -ome of these sources are. we are indebted to a multitude of secular writers or authors of long past i i generations Ironically enough, we can not be too dependent upon I the opinions of the medical men i themselves, because even from the writings of Hippocrates himself (Hippocrates, an early Greek physician has long been looked upon as the father of medicine) we gain a very Imperfect knowledge of physicians and medical details of his day. Evidently problems of health and disease have always play'd such an Important part In the every day life of civilised communities to cause secular writers of all types to record their opinions and cane their sidelights. This. then, gives us a more understandable foundation upon which I to build a history of the development of medical practice. Before the time of early Greek culture, there in so little to say about medical practice because there is so little known Os a nesalty then, we must start with the golden age of Greece In order to establish our preliminary impressions. As contributors In this task we can refer liberally to Plato, the Idealist, and Aristotle, the realist, as authorities, and as men counted upon to give accurate observations. That medicine took Its original Impetus as a part of men's religions lives there can be no doubt. After the beliefs of the pagan worshippers we learn that Apollo, who was the chief of all gods, produced a non to whom he gave the name of Aesculapius (pronounced Esh kse-laplua) and animated him with ail matters pertaining to the health and Ills of man Making a practical application of their faith In this line, the Greeks set up a temple and placed It In charge of priests Here, in due process ol J stately worship and ceremony the {populace presented in an orderly | fashion their symptoms and ailments Cures were effected by 'the grace of the deity Aesculapius -. Thus we see the beginning ol >j medkins dealing with the mind

I only, eem-nt telly and basically' faith-healing. Many eminent scholars took their place in these 1 temples, disciples or sons ot Aeacuj laplua. they were called. The whole procedure of treating the sick would undoubtedly have remained a simple aud more or less routine proposition had not a few of these disciples of Aescupalius seen fit to question the completenesa of the wisdom of dealing only with mind in the event of i illness. Long before the time of ‘ llippo< rates, medical men were the teachings ot Aes< uteplua with originality of 'bought and action. Many coincidfed with the doctrine of their contemporaries that attention to the body as well as the mind was .strongly indicated. As a result, by the time Hippocrates began his brilliant work there had been developed a school of practitioners whose activities had set them apart from the strict school of faith healing Although they strongly i admired and minutely cooperated with the priests of the Aesculap ••an temple, they were unable to restart the temptation to rationaltee and systematise the mysteries lof the parts and functions of the I human body IHvine guidance was ia< i-eptable to the Hippocratic
