THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.

Almost everyone now understands
what we mean by the Christmas
spirit" the idea of good fellow
ship, of peace on earth and good
will to men, as opposed to the
spirit that makes snowy presents.
But there is one thing more for
the world to learn from the game
OF Christmas every year. 1t is the
lesson of continuing the spirit of
Christmas throughout the year.
For daily use throughout the year,
the Golden Rule Is about the same
thing, with the holly and mistletoe
and the snow left out. And the
Christmas spirit may easily con-
tinue that length of time if only
we will carry it in our hearts, to
guide and direct us through the
work of the days and weeks.
1t matters not what name we
attach to it. But the idea of good
will to all men, our brothers in
the flesh, upon which our actions
should be based, is the program
for the year. In this present time
let US call it the Christmas spirit.
And, furthermore, let us remember
that our association with our fell
low men is to be actuated by the
Christmas spirit. We will begin
to see Immediately the effect of
the change of program of our
lives. We will receive a spiritual
gift of happiness and enthusiasm
in our work of putting the Christ
mas spirit into our daily lives.

THE PREVENTION METHOD.

Columbia has a nurse who
spends her time in teaching meth
ods that will prevent consumption
There is a nationwide movement
for the prevention of giving use
less Christmas presents. The Uni
versity of Missouri gives a course
in preventive medicine. Vaccina-
ton, to prevent taking smallpox
and typhoid, has become general.
This nation is finding that it is
much cheaper to use prevention
than to spend large sums COM
batting an evil or disease after it
has gained a foothold. And fire
prevention is being added to the
list of economies.
The first organization for fire
prevention was perhaps that of the
Boston Mutual Fire Insurance
Companies, which ordered an in
spection of the property of the
policy-holders of the various COM
panies. After a thorough exami-
nation attention would be called
to any carelessness or neglect of
the insured that might cause a
fire. Unless this was remedied
promptly, the policy would be re-
voked. Fires have been decreased
to the minimum, and each year
there is a liberal refund to the
policy-holders-their direct re-
ward for care.
Prof. H. W. Hibbard of the
School of Engineering says this
prevention plan is in use at Cor
nell University, where he taught
for several years. An intelligent,
alert man appointed as inspector
Of the buildings of the University
of Missouri would appreciably re-
duce the insurance cost, he be-
lieves.
Earl Kurtz, head of the Colum-
bia fire department, has been
preaching prevention. He has les
sened the runs of the fire truck
and at the same time increased the
saving of property to citizens.
Scraps of paper. oily cloths, rub
bish heaps, ashes in wooden re-
ceptacles, light wires looped over
nails or placed against wood, old
chimneys, all are menaces the cor
rection OF which may save thous-
ands of dollars.
