President of tlie United Slates, the family not only suddenly achieves national and international position, but mainluins it in successive generations for two centuries." So writes James Truslow Adams (a Virginia Adams. Iiy tlie way. and not related to tlie Massachusetts clan) in his book. The Adams Family." published by l.lttle. Brown and com paii.v of Boston a few years ago. "Was it due to some nix.xtcrious result from tlie couibination of Adams and Boylstou blood far beyond Hie ken of Science even today; or to some imfulhomnhle synchronism between tlie peculiar qualities of tile Adamses and tlie w hole social atmosphere of tlie next lew generations, h subtle interplay of a universe uiikt.ioMi forces; or to mere chance In which atoms rush and collide chaotically Fas By GRANDMOTHER About deration muscle; the surgeon and the anaesthetist just have to go ahead and hope for tlie best. Now while most overweights come through their operations successfully there are more "risks before, during, and after operation In the overweight than In one who Is lean or one who Is of normal weight The reason for this Is that fat tissue Is not an active tissue ; it Is Just storage food which Is not likely ever to be needed, and Interferes with the circulation of the blood. It Is like trying to get about your kitchen and dinning room In which too much useless or unnecessary furniture or other objects are always Interfering with your progress. You can understand then that with this excess fat crowding other tissues and sometimes actually getting In between the regular cells or fibers of an organ that that organ will not be able to do its work so well. Thus when an operation Is performed the patient and the surgeon are faced with tills handicap at a time when the heart and other organs need to be at their best. Hospitals and Insurance companies, surgeons and physicians, all definitely state that the overweight Is a poor risk for surgery and if the operation can be delayed for a a time they try to get some of the excess fat from the patient during this delay. Dr. E. Seifert. Munich, Investigated the histories of patients undergoing abdominal surgical operations. By diagrams he shows that the number of deaths from surgical rjr !lli U;!lJ !

All we shall see Is that without warning, like a fault In the geologic record, there Is a sudden and Immense rise recorded in the psychical energy of the family. As a matter of fact there was not much In the early history of John Adams to Indicate the that was to be his. He was graduated from Harvard college In 1755 and for a time was principal of a grammar school at Worcester. Three years later he began practicing law In and first became outstanding Suffolk coup''among his fellow citizens when at a town meeting he was the author and mover of the notable stamp act resolutions. Moving to Boston In 1708 he was chosen a representative to the general court two years later and In 1774 he was made one of the delegates from Massachusetts to the first Continental congress. Upon his return he was made a member from Braintree to the provincial congress, then In session, and In 1775 he became a member of the historic second Continental congress. Within a year Adams, who was the most outspoken of the advocates of Independence from tlie Mother Country, became a leader In bringing that about. With the same political sagacity which he had shown in having a Virginian selected os head of the Continental army, he Influenced another Virginian. Richard Henry Lee, to Introduce In June, 177(5, the resolution for the separation and he seconded that Introduction. When the resolution came up for debate, Lee was ahspnt and Adams was its chief defender, for there were a number of delegates who still were in favor of patching up the colonies differences with England. Having promoted the Idea of Independence, It was only natural that Adams should be named on the committee of five to draw up such a declaration. Thomas Jefferson of Virginia was chosen chairman of the committee which was composed of Adams, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman of Connecticut and Robert R. Livingston of New - York. According to Adams autobiography, he and Jefferson were appointed by the committee to prepare a rough draft of the document and when Jefferson proposed that Adams write this draft he declined for the following reasons, as he gives them: "(1) That he was a Virginian and I a Massochusettensian. (2) That be was a southern man and I was a northern one. (3) That I had been so obnoxious for my early and constant zeal In promoting the measure that every draft of mine would undergo a more severe scrutiny and criticism in congress than of his composition. (4) And lastly, and that would he reason enough If there were no other, I had a great opinion of tlie elegance of his pen and none at all or my own. I therefore insisted that no hesitation should be made on his part. He accordingly took tlie minutes and In a day or two produced to me his draft." So John Adams passed up Ills chance to tie tlie "author of the Declaration of Independence'' and that honor fell to Thomas Jefferson. Among tin oilier distinctions that belong to John Adams is tlie lather dubious one that he was tlie "Futbe! of 'In- Noisy Fourth." For after tlie Contiiif ulul congress had udopted the Declar- - ation of Independence on July 2, 1776, Adams wrote to his wife: Tlie day will be the most memorable epoch In the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parades, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward forever more." Adams part In bringing about the Declaration of Independence would have been enough to guarantee his Immortality if he had never done anything more. But It was destined to be only the beginning of his service to the nation which he had helped establish. In the same year he was made chief Justice of his state but resigned the next year to become chairman of the board of war and ordnance. In 1778 he was appointed commissioner to France to secure aid in the struggle for liberty and the next year he was appointed minister to negotiate a treaty with England. In 17S0 he was sent to Holland to negotiate a loan from that country and In the same year was made minister to Holland with a special commission to sign the articles of armed neutrality. Itecalied to Paris In 1781, the following year he negotiated a loan of two millions in Holland and concluded a treaty of commerce and amity with the Dutch. Next he acted as one of tlie commissioners in concluding the treaty of peace which ended the Revolution and he became our first minister to the Court of St. James. Elected to the Continental congress In 1788. he wus chosen the first vice president in our history In 17S!) and was when Washington was reelected President. Finally In 17!K1 came the climax of his career when he became President of the United States. After that his career was something of an for he proved to he a very unpopular President and was denied a second term. After the adoption of the .Constitution and during his terms as vice president and President, he and his friend, Thomas Jefferson, colleagues In the great work of writing the Declaration of Independence, slowly drifted apart. Adams, the Federalist, was an advocate of a strong centralized Jefferson, the Republican, strong government In his faith In the wisdom of the people, championed the ca,se of democracy and states' rights. Embittered by bis defeat by Jefferson during tlie campaign of 1800 when he was a cundldnte for Adams "clattered out of Washington on that cold gray morning of March 4. 1801, and returned to private life to his farm and his friends and his books. Seated In an old armchair In his library, he took up again his study of philosophy and history, renewed his interrupted but never broken friendship with Jefferson, watched tlie dissolution of the Federalist party with a certain grim satisfaction and thought much on religion and on death." Death came for him on an historic day July 4, 1820. It was the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and a gala day throughout tlie land. Tlie people had wanted Adams and Jefferson to take part in their festivities. But tlie tired old man (lie was in lira In tree. Mass., could not leave ninety-one- ) Ids home. At 4 oclock in tlie afternoon lie died.

Having established the fact that more fat than lean patients die M lowing surgical operations. Doctor Seifert Investigated the reasons for this. His findings show that tlie lean person who dies following an operation on account of an abdominal disorder dies because of the disorder or some complication of tlie disorder following the operation. On the other hand the death of the overweight person results actually from conditions due to his overweight; the failure of the heart and tlie blood vessels to do their work properly being the most Important cause. Not only that hut the figures and diagrams arranged from this Investigation show that even If the overweight survives the operation he Is still at a greater disadvantage for disturbances following the operation occur more frequently in tlie overweight than In the lean patient. The complications which follow operations In overweight are th.i formation of pus In tlie wound Itself. bronchitis, plugging of a blood vessel, pneumonia and collapse. It Is Interesting and Important that overweights are made to real Ize the handicap under which they undergo a surgical operation, and. as mentioned above, most of them naturally come through ail rlghr. but they do not do as well as lean Individuals and the reason for this Is not the disease cancer, ulcer, appendicitis hut because their excess weight greatly Interferes wlrh all the hody processes. Now while most overweights will not be undergoing surgical operations nevertheless the very factors which make them poor surgical risks also Interfere with their health and their ability to y-day do their best work mentally and physically. Dr. E. P. Joslln, Boston, points out that overweight Is so often the forerunner of diabetes.

This biographer calls Adams the Grandfather of His Country" because he was the man who was primarily responsible for making Washington comiimnder-ln-chief of the Continental army, thereby starting the Virginian on the road which led to his becoming the Father." Although the actual nomination of Washington for that position was made in the Continental congress by Thomas Johnson of Maryland, yet It was Adams who developed the sentiment which caused t he nomination to be ratified. When congress, urged thereto by Adams, adopted the New England troops around Boston as a Continental army and began looking around for a Commander-in-chief- , Adams realized that the Selection of any of the New England officers for the post would he certain to result in an outbreak of intercolonial Jealousies. So he proposed that an outsider" be brought in and suggested the name of the man who. as a major in the Virginia Colonial forces, had distinguished himself during the Braddock expedition 20 years earlier. Not only would tills accomplish Its purpose of preventing among thp New Englanders, but as a compliment to Virginia. It would also guarantee more enthusiastic support of the revolutionary movement by the southern brethren. The history of the is ample proof of the wisdom of John Adams and what a master stroke of diplomacy bis suggestion turned out to be. But tiis part in making Washington was not the only factor In Justifying his rigid to the title of Grandfather of His Country." Another historian lias summed up the other factors as follows: "Ills public services extended over a period of 25 years, and In that crowded quarter of a century he contributed as much to tlie creation and development of his country as any man of his time, lie was the statesman who formulated the political tlieori to blast parliamentary prerogatives: he was the courageous patriot who forced a reluctant congress along the road to revolution and defended the leclaration of Independence; he was the uncompromising diplomat who brought military anil tiuancial aid to the American cause, wrested mirHCiiloisly favorable terms from (treat Britain, and stubbornly protected American interests from the supposed machinations of wily European diplomats; he was the solon who wrote the model constitution for Massachusetts; he was the President who heroically chose peace instead of war with France, and broke the power of the pernicious Hamiltonian clique." To this might be added these other facts: be was among the first to recognize clearly that of the colonies was inevitable and union essential"; although Thomas Jefferson did the actual writing of the Declaration of Independence. it contained many of "the very principles which Adams had been expounding day after day for two years"; he played an Important part In establishing the American navy; he was one of the most vigorous defenders of the Constitution after It was adopted; he had a hand in giving to the nation the greatest interpreter of that Constitution, for he. as President. made John Marshall chief justice of the Supreme court; he was a prophet in forecasting the economic development of the United States and in wishing to adapt the frame of government In the rulure to that basis"; and the general principles of a government for which he stood have survived to ttiis day and are still showing a great degree of influence" It lias heroine almost axiomatic that genius rarely. If ever, transmits Itself and that great fathers seldom beget great sons. But John Adams comes as near, perhaps, as any other American to being the exception which proves the rule. For his son. John Quincy Adams, kept adUp tlie standard set h.v Ills fattier and even vanced it. and succeeding generations of the Adams line have continued to advance It. Years ago some one made tlie statement that "American history is all cluttered up with Adamses," and a recent historian has amplified this statement by declaring, "in America there is one family. ami only one. that generation after generation has consistently and without interruption, made contributions of tlie highest order to our So it Is further proof bistory and civilization. of tlie aptness of the "grandfather" title that John Adams started those contributions. Tlie Adams family was established In America when a certain Henry Adams, probabout ably liecaiise of a combination of religious and economic reasons, decided to leave England and try Ids luck in tlie New World. By chance he settled at a place called Braintree In Massachusetts. He married and had children, who In turn married and handed dowu tlie family name. This went on for four generations without producing any man of distinction 'until we come to John Adams, a fanner and shoemaker in Braintree, wlio married Susanna Boylstou, daughter of a family prominent in the medical history of the CROSS-STITC- Pleasant ELIMINATION Let's be bank.
