the wrong of today and vice verso. To further complicate the question. what is right in one country may be wrong in another; and so the con- scientious enquirer is kept in a state of uncertainty and perplexity.

Generally speaking, the rights and wrongs which have changed with the years are matters of personal or sectional opinions. The fundamen- tal right and wrong are unalterable. Honesty, truth, love, kindness, char- ity, and their kindred accompani- ments have never changed and shall never change, neither shall their op- posites. The former were right all the way back to primeval savagery; the latter were wrong throughout the ages and shall be while human nature endures.

The caveman stole from his neigh- bor not because he believed it right to do so, but because he had'the opportunity. Possibly he may have had fewer conscientious scruples than his modern brother who pays similar attention to his neighbor's property, but for each the theft was. perhaps in varying degree, consci- ously wrong. The savage had his code of morals, less drastic no doubt than ours, but he had well defined

ideas about right and wrong rela-i

tiona with his neigbor. When he transgressed the moral code 'he did it consciously like his civilized bro- ther of today. _

Opinions change with the passing: yearn and most of our opinions are speculations or have been formed from‘, what others have told us.

Right is eternally ‘Jright; wrong. elcmally wrong. The sense of right and wrong is inherent -in the human race.’ As to the wisdom or unwis- dom of following a certain course it is merely a matter of judgment or the want of it, and even when a wise or unwise decision has been made it cannot be placed in the category of right or wrong.

It is quite conceivable that undcr the self-control and other restrains placed upon us by our civilization and our duty to civiiize society, some of our inherent propensities may eventually become atrophied or even eliminated. Fear, greed. jeal- ousy, love, even parental affection. have been held in check although not permanently eliminated. Social

, environment imposes limitations and makes demands but cannot make right wrong, or wrong right.

the defensive." ‘It is doubtful if it is enough to be on the defensive. It is necessary also to be aggressive. To

presupposes final defeat.

To carry the war into the ene- my's territory may mean the delay- ing of‘ the final catastrophe. We are waging war on diseases, on in- sect pests, on numerous plant dis- eases. To stop this warfare would mean defeat and premature death.

Man has cleaned up the disease and plague spots of the world and made them habitable. He has pro- longed plant and animal life by overcoming many of the diseases to which they are subject, and in these worlds still remain tobeconquered. He is fighting crime and evil and poverty, fighting oppression and tyranny, often in the form of flesh and blood, often of principalities and powers; and there is no truce in this war.

Man is by nature a fighter. As

civilization progresses and science makes new discoveries, the methods warfare change. Civilization aims at all round betterment, the betterment of the world and of man- kind. It has discovered that Whl‘ against evil is man's business in the world; that international warfare is a relic of savagery and that evento the victor the result is a definiteloss besides being inhuman and unwor- thy of human effort. The League of Nations, now in its ninth session at Geneva, is an evidence of this awakening. Civilization will event- ually end international wars. Science, also, has by its discoveries, contri- lbuted to the elimination of interna- 'tional wars. Recent inventions and discoveries, not only in the perfect- ing of armaments by means of which “man may the more effectually slay his brethren," but by the discovery of deadly chemicals, make modern war so unspeakably horrible and universally destructive that human nature has risen in revolt against it ‘and the civilized nations. are now, by mutual agreement outlawing war as a means of international set- tlement of disputes. Man is a fighter, and his battle- field is a world full of enemies. full of evil which threatens his happi- ness and his character. 'I‘hese he will fight and he is fightinga steadi- ly winning battle. The world, be- cause of his fighting and becaus: of his peace-making with- the friend- ly powers around him, and which are as numerous as are his enemies, will go on from victory to victory until "righteousness shall cover the earth as the waters cover the great deep."

Physicians do not make this statement any more because low blood pressure for your age is really not a favorable sign.

Not that it is dangerous, but you are not a_t par. at your best, if. your blood pressure isbelow normal for your age.

If your physician finds your blood pressure low, he immediately be- gins to look for some cause for same. In a youpg man or woman he will search carefully for any sign of tuberculosis, as low blood pres- sure is the usual condition."

'In ‘older persons, or in young folk who are not tuberculous, if the blood pressure is low he tries to find some form of long standing infec- tlon.

Now while this may be from old teeth or/ tonsil conditions, in tho majority of cases it is due to infec- tion from the intestine. Most of these cases will give a history of constipation. . ' Dr. A. Graham-Stewart reminds us that the one symptom com- plained of by practically all low blood pressure patients is easy fatigue. Any exertion tires them; they soon “give out" if they attempt any work or play.

So low_ blood pressure is really a symptom and generally a rapid heart and a lowered temperature accompanies it. And you know that a low temperature and a rapid heart meat» that the vitality, the vital force's. are below par.

Now the way to create heat, and thus raise the temperature, slow down the heart. and raise the blood pressure to normal is to do two things. ' First, eat good nourishing food with meat or eggs once’ a day, andi plenty of vegetables and fruits. You. will remember tilat in tuberculmis the food is a bk factor in enrich-i ins the blood and raising the blood pressure.

Second, make your muscles use up some cf this good food by exer- cise. Insurance examiners will tell You that by these simple means, they have been able to accept candii- dates who were refused insurance three to six months previously ow- ing to low blood pressure. Begin with a short period of light exercise _—walking daily and increase it gradually.

The pophlarlty of Queen Mary was illustrated effectively enough the other day when her Majesty was shopping in Bond Street. How ex- actly it is conveyed to the passer-by that the Queen is in a certain shop is a psychological problem not easily understood. A car with two servants is no uncommon sight in Bond Street, and one would think that the Royal car might pass unnoticed by people intent on shop windows. But,

omehow, the first of the loyal’ and curious gather, and then a police- man is seenpand somebody says, “Is it an accident?" in a hopeful voice. The crowd thickens, and it is not- iced that the policeman is keeping a llittle space clear in front of the shop. "What is it?" asks somebody excit- edly, and someone else says, “The Queen, I think." And so they wait, ierrand boys and suburban matrons, Va tall sunburnt man from overseas, a commissionaire (with the air of having benignly arranged things which is peculiar to commission- aires), a group of Americans, and men of every type, including the elderly gentleman who must have seen Queen Victoria. The crowd thickens, and some of the less man- nerly peer into the empty waiting car. But they are quite courteous to ‘her Majesty vandto each other as they wait “to see the Queen.”
