THE CATACOMBS OF
GUANAJUAT011
Guanajuato is perhaps the most un-
usual and the most unique city in all
Mexico. It lies a daises journey by
rail west of Mexico City and is situ-
ated in a -harrow rnountaig gorge
'through which flows the Guanajpato
River. The city itielf is a source of
much beauty with its white stone and
adobe houses flanking the narrow
cobblestone streets.
Up above the city in the grandeur
of the surrounding mountains are
some of the richest gold and silver
mines in.the country. Guanajuato con-
tains some of the most beautiful ex-
amples of Mexican churches. The
city also contains the Alhondiga de
Granadita, once used as a species of
grain market, often put to use as a
fort, but now serving as a prison.
However, neither cathedrals, mines
nor old Spanish forts can exert the
same weird fascination over the vigl,
tor as do the former inhabitants of
this unique mountain city. They are
to be found in the Panteon, or ceme-
tery, which is located on a height that
overlooks the city from one end to
the other.
The Panteon is built in the form of
a great rectangular stone wall. In-
side this enclosure are tombs built a-
bove the surface of the ground and
occupied by the wealthier classes. The
surrounding wall is composed of noth-
ing but riches—layer upon layer. Due
to the meagerness of topsoil through-
out the vicinity, these niches serve, as
a burial chamber for the deceased who
have left enough money or whose rel-
atives can afford to rent one of the
narrow compartments. Rents are
payable for periods of five years, ten
years or perpetuity. Bodies are slip-
ped lengthwise into the niches; the
last rites are held and then the open-
ing is sealed with bricks and mortar.
.A marble slab is placed in front bear-
ing the epitaph and often a photo-
graph of the deceased. It is enthral-
ling to walk around the square, ob-
serving the marble slabs. Here there
is an, empty niche, waiting for a new
occupant, over there is an epitaph
that bears a glass -encased photograph
of a little boy and tells the observer
Chat he died at the age of five from
smallpox. A wave of sadness passes
over the visitor as he realizes that be-
hind that cold marble slab only part-
ially filling the niche is the body of .s.
young child. A • few niches farther
and there is carved on the marble
slab a short story of an American en-
gineer' killed by bandits—and so a-
round the entire wall the epitaphs re-
late brief biographies of . Mexican
Army officers, Spanish aristocrats,
young senoritas, infants and children.
After the termination of the five or
ten-year period, in many cases, rela-
tives and friends df* the unfortunate
dead often forget or disappear and
the new rent that falls due remains
unpaid. When this happens the re-
mains are rem,alvecl from the nichea
and placed in a common ossuary. The
startling fact about these .remains is,
that due to climatic conditions and
their close peoteetion from'decomposi-
tion among the inner niches of the
wall, many •of the bodies have mummi-
fied in a nearly perfect state of pre-
iservation. Practically the same Atti-
tudes and positions that the individu-
als had assumed at the time of their
death still remain in the posture and
expression of the mummified bodies.
The ossuary is tunneled in the form
of a long catacomb or cave into the
rock beneath the Panteon. It is reach-
ed by uplifting a heavy stone trap-
door in the pavement at the rear and
descending dark, winding stone steps
which lead the visitor into the dimly
filtered light of a long corridor. He
is left staring intently art a number of
gratesque, shriveled forms. A dry
odor a mustiness pervade* the vault.
Aitrong compelling curiosity forces
the. visitor forward into the penetrat-
ing atmosphere of the vault.
Slowly the onlooker passes along;
among the horror-stricken faces of
the dead. A narrow wooden plank
runs the length of the corridor. On
this narrow bench 'the rigid forms
stand side by side, leaning against the
wall. On the stone -paved floor, with
the edge of the 'bench as a prop and
at rarer intervals than above, a sec-
ond row of stiff, silent forms stands.
Some orf the mummies still retain
their burial clothes, wade on many
others either all or part of these
clothes 'have long since rotted off.
One mummy has only a pair of
stockings, one up, one down, flake
name untidy 'boy. Another still, lays
claim to a good pair of boots. Some
still retain' suits, dresses and man-
tillas, quite well preserved bit wrink-
led and faded. At one end of the cor-
tidos are the almost perfectly pre-
served mummies of small, babies [bee -
sed in brightly colored infant clothes;
little red and blue Jackets, white dress-
es and lace eaps—all lending 0 strange
color that does not •harrioonite with
the drab atmospberte
s
'One mummy in pesticides is sin-
gled 4)tit for attention/ The; red blood
that once streamed down his .right
thigh is perfectly preserved and very
lifelike. Even more so is the expreit-
sign of horror upon his face. He is
probably an old soldier Whose side
was shot. away in battle.
Aihort distande farther and there
is a young woman who died In ,ehild-
birth. Her selaild, who entered this
.10 4;41"
•
world only to be thrust into this dark
underground cavern, is tial firmly to
her wrist.
The caretaker of the Panteon, an,
old grizzled Mexican, is able to tell
many an interesting story concerning
some of these people.
In the corner stands an old gray -
bearded man. • He is fully and care-
fully dressed and his arms are folded
neatly across his chest. His eyes are
wide and staring and his mouth still
stands open as though shouting to
someone. This old fellow was a
French doctor. The reason for his
residence in Mexico was unknown
He had feyv friends and was of a
more or less quarrelsome nature. One
day one of his quarrels led to a duel
and early the next morning he and
his opponent met with pistols. When
the smoke cleared away the doctor lay
dead upon the, ground. His friends
rented 'it vault for him in the "wall
of niches." It was not long before
they had either passed on or disap-
peared; and when the rent again was
due, the forgotten, friendless doctor
was removed below to the narrow cor-
ridor -like vault.
A woman, a former resident of
Guanajuato, returned from the United
States to revisit her old home. One
day she visited the Panteon and while
staring intently at one of the mum-
mies at the end of the corrider she
suddenly fainted. It was latter learn-
ed that she had recognized in this
mummy her first husband, who had
disappeAed many years ago.
The Panteon has an unusual and
weird effect on the visitor. • In ante
cases it is depressing but in others it
acts as an esiceedingly vivid stimulant
to the imagination. The joys and
sorrows in the lives led by these peo-
ple, their ambitions and goals and
their final bafflement by death enter
into the visitor's mind and he is in a
farm more thoughtful mood when he
leaves Guananjuato's Panteon than
when he enters it.
Bishop Is Opposed to
Transubstantiation
The Rt, Rev. E. W. Barnes, Bishop
4 Birmingham, has for long lateen re-
cognized as one of the greateLiberals
h: the Anglican Church, leit hfe,broad-
mindedness has its limitations. Free-
dom of conscience is dear to the bish-
op, but it has to be exercised within
the bounds of truth as he sees it.
This explains his present controversy
with the Archbishop of Canterbury to
whom he has addressed some remark-
ably pungent words. Discussing the
matter in the Springfield Republican,
Richard Lee, writing from Coventry,
says:
•"Not for generations has a bishop
set down his feet firmly and stuck
to his position with such tenacity
and fearlessness as the bishop of
Birmingham. ^Never in the lifetime
of the oldest living person has an
archbishop had such straight words
addressed to him as the words .of his
grace of Birmingham to his grace of
Canterbury." But should he not have
said "his lordship of Birmingham?"
We are not any great authority
upon ecclesiastical nomenclature and
courtesy title but we think Mr. Lee
errs here.
The trouble between the bishop
and the archbishop centres in the
sacrament. Is it necessary for one to
believe that when one partakes of
holy communion the consecrated
wine and wafers really are the Mood
and flesh of Christ? Has a miracle
been performed by the consecration
of these elements so that a tran-
substantiation has occurred ? Or
when one speaks of the body and
blood of Christ being thus partaken
of does one speak figuratively? It
is the view of Bishop Barnes that
to maintain that one actually eats
the flesh of Qhrist and drinks His
blood he is uttering an atrocious and
horrifying blasphemy. He says that
Christ is only present in the hearts
and minds of godly men and women.
We believe that there is considerable
difference of opinion among Angli-
cans of equal standing, on this point.
Clergymen are permittedto hold
either view without being tried for
heresy.
That, we think, is the difficult po-
sition of the Archbishop of Canter-
bury as head of the church. He does
not instruct his clergy, 'but leaves
them certain discretionary power.
But it is different with Bishop Barnes,
who in his diocese has control
over hundreds of clergymen. Wlhen
a new clergyman is appointed he must
be licensed by a bishop before he can
lawfully officiate. So Bishop Barnes,
before he will issue any license, in-
sists that all candidates must make
a written declaration to the ' effect
that they will not 'preach he doctrine
that there is some special supernat-
ural grace in the sacramental ele-
ments. They must not say that the
communicants are partaking of the
blood and flesh of Christ, except in a
figurative sense. All the clergymen
in his diocese, with the exception o!
thirteen, have taken this Pledge and
governed themselves accordingly. The
thirteen, sire presume, were licensed
priests before Bishop Barnes became
their spiritual chieftain.
These, continue to teach the doe-
{ -tint that IS Oho/dens to the bishop
and, appasendy, there exists no
Meats by which he can rid himself

it • would 'Obviously 'be ,an, extremely
dangerous thing to send a bishop of

there was some hesitation as to the
next step.
It was the Archbishop of Canter-
bury who temporarily relieved the
tension by licensing the rebel. Sim-
monds.„, Against ' this action the
bishop protested in the strongest of
language.- in the meantime Rev.
Simmonds who, we sincerely hope, is
worthy of all the trouble he has
caused, is on holiday before taking,
up his duties in the diocese of Bishop
Barnes. When he returns he will be
summoned to the palace and again
questioned. The result of this inter-
view will probably be followed by a
renewal of the controversy with what
widespread consequences we cannot
predict. The position of Bishop
Barnes is a particularly strong one.
He is a man of great intellectual gifts
and accepts the teachings of modern
science. • He insists that the church,
must also 'accept them if it is ta
live. He has the gift of inspiring
the 'warmest devotion. He could fill
any hall in . England he chose to
speak in. He has indomitable cour-
age. His critics say that in matters
of theology and biology he is un-
learned, but they admit his eminence
as a mathereatician. He is just the
kind of man capable of forcing an
issue when he believes himself right,
even though to de so may he to split'

Dr. Wm. F. Koch, Ph.D., In
His Own Defence
A friend of mine sent me a clipping
from your paper of July 23rd, con-
taining your article entitled, "How
Medical Fraternity Views Dr. Koch's
Claims." I have read it very eare-
fully and with considerable interest to
determine whether or not it differed
in any respect from the information
which the American Medical Associa-
tion has been distributing ever since
I brought out this cancer work. I
find that it is in general the same as
they have been Sending out for years.
I do not know just what attituJe you
personally take toward • my work and
What I am attempting to do, nor do
I know the attitude of your publica-
tion, but I felt that I could impose
upon yoursense of fairness to the
extent of at least presenting my side
of the story. In the first instance,
the A.M.A. always 'commences itsi
propaganda against me with the
statement that I developed a specific
cure for cancer less than a year after
I graduated in medicine.
After graduating from high school
in Detroit, I took my A.B. degree at
the University of Michigan in 1909.
This was followed • by my ma:ster's
degree in 1910. From 1910 until 1914
I was instructor in histology and em-
bryology at the University of Michi-
gan, being assistant to Professor
Huber, at which time I received my
Ph.D., majoring in physiological
chemistry. It was during those years
that I brought to the attention • of
the medical world for the first time
ilia function ' of the parathyroid
glands. My , experiments and find-
ings were published„ in the, Journal
of Biological Chemistry and' also you
will and them referred to in Oxford
Medicin'e. These findings were later
corroborated by Payton and Finley
of Glasgow University. From 1914 to
1919 I was professor of physiology at
the Detroit Medical College and in
1919 1 obtained my degree of Doctor
of Medicine. It was after my work
on the parathyroid glands and dur-
ing the time that I was at the- De-
troit Medical College that I developed
my work on cancer. Now then, inas-
much as the outstanding men of
the medical world have come to re-
alize that the solution of the cancer
problem lies in the field of chemistry
rather than in the field of medicine,
it seems to be rather poor form on
the part ofOth'e A.M.A. or anyone else
to give the impression that I have had
litle or no training' for the work I am
doing.
•Since 1919 I have devoted my time
exclusively to the treatment of malig-
nancy in every form and the results
are beionling increasingly succestful.
The charges of a commercial nature
which have been made against me
by the A.M.A. can be dismissed with
the statement that I have never yet
refused anyone this treatment regard-
less of inability to pay for it and
our records here in the office are
open to anyone for verification. Fur-
thermore, we have never sent out a
single statement in reference to any-
thing connected with this business,
including the case histories of cured
patients, diagnoses and record of at-
tending .physkians, that is not ab-
solutely 100 per cent. accurate. I say
this for the reason that we are con-
stantly visited by the employees of
the United. States Postal Department,
who at the instigation of the A.M.A.
are very careful to see that we are
not making use of the United States
mails in any manner that can be
termed fraudulent. Furthermore, the
Treasury Department at Washington,
which has jurisdiction of the en-
forcement of the laws regulating the
interstate shipment of antitoxims,
made an investigation at the request
of members of the A:M.A. and ob-
tained sufficient information to con-
vince them th'at melees they 'wanted
against their 'will, to be of infinite
help to, me in my work, they had best
drop the investigation, which they

Seaforth.
of any of the cases and all I knew
about them was that they were
brought in as hopeless cancer cases
for the purpose of investigation. Whe-
ther the committee was negligent or
whether I was negligent is not in the
least important and I do not make
this statement as a confession of
negligence on my part. What is irn-
Portant is the fact that, of those sev-
en cases brought in as entirely hope-
less, two are alive and well to -day that
I know of, nd, although assuming
that the other five cases are dead,
I do not know that to be true. In
reference to the same paragraph' of
your article, the statementby the
committee that they had investigated
fifty cases of mine is an absolute
falsification. Therel never was any
such investigation or clice•lcaup 0,)
my patients and no one yet has been
able to obtain from that committee
the names and addresses of those
alleged patients.
I offered this treatment on three
occasions to my local medical so-
ciety, which I am reliably in-
formed is the proper channel, only
to have it refused as being of no
therapeutic value. Being convinced
from the results that I had obtained
in lux own practice that the con-
trary was true, nothing remained for
me to do ,but to go right ahead and
use it on my own patients. Now,
then, here is a questien of ethics
that you as a layman can probably
solve. When a patient comes to a
physician for treatment .for a par-
ticular disease, is he entitled to the
best treatment for that particular
disease with which the physician is
familiar or is he entitled to the best
with which the physician is familiar,
provided it has the endorsement of
organized medicine? I claim that he
is entitled to the best treatment the
physieian knows or regardless of
whether or not it is approved by
orthodox or organized medicine, for
the reason that when a patient con-
sults and employs a physician, there
immediately •springs•up a contract on
the part of the physician to give the
best that he knows of 'and on the
part of the patient to pay a reason-
able price therefor. No physician
can live up to and respect his con-
tractual duty to a patient and try to
live up to the ethics, so-called, of the
medical profession. I have been
trying for years to 'give this treat-
ment to the medical profession and
am still ready to do so, hal am not
going to give it to a medical society
that has done nothing but use its ut-
most efforts to discredit it.
Votes New York Times
World's Best Paper
'When you have nothing special on
your mind," requests Jim Barry,
"write us your 'opinions as to which
newspaper is the greatest in the world.
We had an argument on this ques-
tion and most of us decided that the
New York Timesosas." Well, Mixt,
we have nothing in particular on our
mind now, so what about looking into
this -matter? We think it impossible
to say which is the best paper in the
world, meaning, of course, the Eng-
lish-speaking world. Different people
want different things in their news-
paper. Why do so many Toronto peo-
ple take the Telegram? And why do
so many more take the Star? To
say that if one gets sick of one of
them there is only the other to take
seeml to beg the question. There
are thousands of people in Toronto
who prefer the Globe to the Mail and
Empire. It is not possible to say
that they are deficient in judgment or
lacking in taste. They simply like
the paper better, just as they like
their wives better than their neigh -
hors' wives—at least, we hope so.
So while there are hundreds of
,Amefilans who think
the New York Times is the best paper
in the world, one can only say that
it suits them better than any other.
But even if one had no particular
prejudices at all, he would probably
be bound to say that if the chief and
practically the only function of a
newspaper is to record the news, the
Times leads all the rest. It gives
not only New York and American
news, but news from all the rest of
the world, and we presume it is as
uncolored as it is possible for news
to be which has to be filtered through
observers of varying degrees of opa-
city. We have, heard its Russian
news bitterly condemned as propa-
ganda. But it seems impossible to
get any news from Russia that is not
open to the same objection from
various sources. The Times is a
great newspaper. We avoid reading
it.
The truth i, we find it dull. Its
editorials are scholarly and rvery of-
ten obscure. They are sometimes •per-
vaded with a kind of learned bandy-
ing which we find depressing. There
is not a flavor of humor to be found
in it except the kind that we might
expect to be current among profes-
sional pedagogues. So since we read
newspapers for amusement as much
as for ' edification we do not find
much nourishment ''in the Tinies.
But let us say that we believe it has
the best front iiage in the world.
There may be six or seven stories
continued on inside pages, but on
the front page there will be not less
than half a column and sometimes
more of each of these stories. One
of the most annoying tendencies
among our papers to -day is to cIp
a big front page headline on a doz n
lines or so; and bury the rest of the
story deep in the hinterland. This
is more noticeable in the evening
than the morning papers. And we
believe thtt average evening news-
paper editor would die rather than
refrain from a streamer headline.
covering the whole page Oven if it
were not more thrilling than: "Not
Much News Reported in Evening ra-
pers." The 'habit was formed in the
war and while the morning papers
broke themselves of it the evening
paper addicts have found no, cure.
Among the New York papers we
liked the World by far the best, be-
cause it was bright and amusing and
liberal -minded and was read Y to fig'ht
for unpopular Causes. It did not print
a quarter of the news that the Times
printed but it did print the kind of
news that we happened to be inter-
ested in. •In other words, the paper
was edited laith a view of attracting
such readers as ourself. But there
were not enough of them to keep it
solvent. We believe a consensus
among English speaking editors
would admit that the London Times
resains the best newspaper in the
world, a position it has held almost
uninterruptedly for a century. It is
learned; it is accurate; it is fair,
though perhaps not very open-
minded. It has by far the most dis-
tinguished correspondents of any pa-
per in the world. Its special articles
are written by experts. In these two
latter respects it quite outclasses it
American namesake, though perhaps
it does not print so much news. Still
failure to print a lot of news is one
of the things we can very easily for-
give any newspaper.
Perhaps the Manchester Guardian
has had in the past 50 years the best
editorial page in the world. It has not
only been liberal -minded, but it has
been high -minded -And it has been
courageous and it has been informer.
If an editorial page possess these
qualities, and in addition that pre-
cious gift which prevents it from
being a bore, then it is well-nigh
perfect in our judgment. There is an-
other quality which seems to us to be
the very soul of a newspaper, and
lacking it hut sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal. Is the paper in-
teresting? In New York there are
thousands of people who used to take
two morning papers, the World and
the Times. They took the World to
read, and the Times to carry home in
the expectation of reading some other
time. They felt that it was extremely
valuable and important and all time
but not particularly inviting. So at
the end, of the week these readers
would heve accumulated seven issues
of the Times which they would re-
gretfully put in the furnace or the
garbage pail. Thither the Worlds had
preceded them, but the diffetence Was
that they had gotte /separately after
having been read, while the Times
had followed en masse after boring
been respected. These then are our
views, Iim, but you know of course
that nobody has authority to pany off
any bets because of anything that
may be said in this column.

Fresh Fruit Market For Grapes.
The grape growers of Ontario are
in a fair way to solving the market-
ing of this melon's crop, according
to Charles W, l3aver, secretary of
the Ontario Growers' Market Council.
The energetic steps taken by the
growers under leadership of the win-
eries committee have been bearing
fruit. 'With the Wineriee' require-
ments greatly reduced, the growers

vertising the household use of grapes
which will be put on all markets at

Current Crop Report.
The grain harvest has- progressed
rapidly over the province and
threshing has been the general prac-
tice. Fall wheat has averaged 35
bushels of good quality grain to the
-
acre and barley has yielded satisfac-
torily. Threshing returns bear out
earlier reports of material damage to
the oat crop through rust and smut.
Corn and roots continue very promis-
ing. In Southwestern Ontario beans
are being seriously affected by a
small worm new to this crop. Gut-
ting of the tobacco crop has been gen-
eral since the middle of August.
Fall Wheat Growers!
Fall wheat growers have two
problems df primary importance to
consider, according to George R.

bution expert: 1. What am I going

Mr. Paterson believes that farmers
