{One is reminded of this comment by the (lcath, in a London hospital this morning, of per- haps the grezitest stoqr-tcller in the whole range of Iinglish writers. RUDY/Hit) KIPLING has justly been called "the poet of Empire" but it is on his prose artistry, on his genius for setting oft" characters in sharp yet harmonious relations to cacti other, and the skill with which he lininetl his colorful t_vpes. that his fame will chiefly rest. As a poet, or rather ballad-maker, he was vig- orous and unconventional. Rarely is there found anything of genuine poetic merit in his verse, though the glitter of his lines. has enchanted inil- lions of readers. and he could handle rhyme to (lelincate character, or tcll a story, with amazing facility. liven his tint-st work is marred by man- nerisms. His style lacked restraint, and there was something of truth in the jibe of a contem- porary ill-Tl his descriptions of otiicial life in India seemed taken “from the vantage point of a kt-_v-liole." lii method liirciutfs tales owed something to Biu-zr HARTE,‘ in matte;- and spirit, however, they were absolutely original. Their freshness of invention, variety of character, vigor of narrative, raciness of dialogue and magic of atmosphere. were alike remarkable.

Perhaps the time is not far (listant when the Victorian writers will come into their own again.

KIPLING may justly claim to rank among the great Iimpirc-builtlcrs of the race. He was an imperialist first, last and always. If his _en- thusizism as a patriot betrayed him into glorify- ing British proivess, or into making ranting ref- erence to subject nations as "lesser breeds _with_- out the law," he made ample atonement in his truly inspired poem, “RecessioualY-fil _P°°m which may conceivably outlast the Empire itself. and will assuredly find an echo in human hearts as long as the English language endures.

Bad Versus Good

The present-day" fad for “experiments? and “ilemonstrations” to prove the truth or falsity’ of any given theory is ironically criticized by the New York Timex iii commenting on the rev port of certain tip-State Probation authorities that "examination of 500 boys demonstrated" that bad boys are no different from other boys except that “they have been caught.” “Experi- i|ieiit'-’ and “demonstrator? are words blessed even above “Mesopotamitfl, exclaims our con- temporary. For the last 5,000 years, or perhaps the last 50,000 years, men have quoted hard- boiled bits of wisdom.

We experiment with a few hundred men and demonstrate that the difference between sanity and insanity is all a matter of being locked up; thus solving an- other tremendous social problem.

PLANNING YOUR HEALTH AND ENERGY

When the business mm plans that his Income will take care of expenses, he is said to budget his financial undertakings. A great many housewives work on or use a

budget; iweekly 0|- monthly); putt- ing aside so much for rent. - for food. for fuel, for clothing, for

medical and dental attention and a. little for the saving‘ bunk.

By having a budget one is able to do so much and no more so that no worry or anxiety arises.

It would seem then that lt would be only good sense 1f each and every one of \ls were to budget our health, our energy, so that we could do all that was‘ poslble for our health or energy to do without rob- bing ourselves and so causing Ill health and lack of energy.

Dr. George Crile, in his book "Diseases Peculiar to Civilized Wrn" s"'\"‘= PM" the insane desire for speed of all kinds which afflicts and sometimes seems like to ruin this rather mad generation is the cause of such well recognized a11- ments as ulcer of the stomach and intestine, Increase in the actfvlety of the thyroid gland in the neck so that all the processes of the body are driven at an increased rate of speed, weakness of the muscular and nervous system, and brought about the knowledge of how to cure these conditions by cutting the transmission between the brain and the overdriven organs.

And for every patient suffering wlth these actual ailments above mentioned there are hundreds, per- haps thousands, who are exped- enfill! the more or less disastrous results of having, as tlfe saying goes. “bitten off more than they can chew." but who still go on try- ing to chew it. Among the many less serious ailments due to this "over- spendfng" of energy arethe form of constipation whire the wall of the intestine keeps closed or contracted. spasm of the lower end of the tube which carries the food from the mouth to the stomach. many cases of migraine or one-sided headache. and most cases of muc- ous (inflammation of the lining of the lower bowel).

The treatment is for the physi- cltm to show the patient that it is overspendlng of energy work or play that. is causing the symptoms. and to assist him to reorganize or

budget his life and energies.
