The Santa Claus Problem.
BY BETH JEFFRIES.

There are hundreds of children in
this city today who will have their
first Christmas this twenty-fifth of
December.
Are they or. are they not going to
be told the story of Santa Claus?
Are they to be denied the most glor-
ious Of childish myths; are they I'M
happily the children of parents who
are tIo unimaE inative and practical
to daily with such an annoying prob
lem?
or are they blessed with the parent
who remembers. and who understands.
who is capable of gauging the empti-
ness of a childhood devoid of the
magic of Santa Claus Christmases?
The Santa Cl;:us story is true, you
know. Why should he not be the
symbolical figure representing the
wave of love and joyfulness which
weaves itself. an unseen thread.
through the hearts OF all people at
Christmas time?
TIE person who can say that there
is no Santa Claus Is to be pitied. for
by his statement he proves that he
never has nor never can believe in
anything which he does not see with
his own ewes. He is, in other words.
only half civilized BY the same line
of reasoning he must. 10 be consistent.
disclaim belief in the existence of
many q thing unseen. He should deny
the existence of love, and OF the mean
ing of love, God himself.
Admit that there is a Santa Claus.
and give to your child the image of
him for Christmas. In the recreation
of him. his deeds. and the world in
which he makes his toys you will i'm
plant in the mind of your child the
first seeds from which all genius
springs-imagiuatio

at last Of a conquest of one of our
dread maladies.
The man who hardens himself by cold
baths and cold "rub-downs" in the
morning, and by wearing rational
clothes is far less apt to fall a victim
than the man who bathes in hot water
and bundles himself up in absurdly
heavy underclothes. Sailors and saw
ages seldom have pneumonia, clerks and
indoor workers often fall before 1t.
A man with a half-pint of whisky in
his stomach feels snug and warm. In
reality his bodily temperature is con-
siderably below normal. And the germ
killing corpuscles and fluids of his body
are weak and stunned.
Fatigue and other excuses also cause
the natural powers of resistance of the
body to disappear. Overwork, loss of
kind may make you a shining mark for
pneumonia

At the start, the symptoms are much
like those of a severe cold" or infiu-
lowed by a high fever. Then appears a
darting pain in the chest. a dry cough
with a blood-stained sputum (very in
fectious). and quick, catchy breathing.
Pneumonia, when uncomplicated, is a
self-limited disease. The attack can
not be shortened. The patient must be
placed in a light, airy. well ventilated
room and plenty of water, lemonade and
easily digested food. such as egg slbu-
men, milk, and meat Juice given 10 him.
Modern physicians employ ice packs to
the head and chest to reduce the fever
and relieve the pain. Minor devices are
used to alleviate the cough and sup
port the strength of the sufferer.
Against the pneumococcus, itself, ma
ture must still wage her war unaided.
But it is often possible for the alert
doctor TO lend a helping hand to the
overburdened heart
Once upon 4 time whisky was eN-
tensively used as a stimulant. but
progressive physicians now hold that
its employment is dangerous, and other
measures are applied. Fresh Cbut
warmed) air. and plenty of it, IS the
thing most needed. Tents and hospital
roofs are the best places TO bring a
pneumonia patient TO health.
In the old days persons afflicted with
pneumonia were imprisoned IN hot,
close rooms. and all sorts of powerful
drugs were taken Today good nursing
Is known TO be superior to drugs.
Experiments are now being made
with a new vaccine for pneumonia The
vast technical difficulties in the way OF
producing a pneumonia anti-toXin has
led to the injection of preventive doses
of killed pneumonia germs, the pneumo-
cocci. There seems to be some promise
