There is one thing that stands out most prominently in the review of the 1914 road racing season, and that is the almost unbelievable speed records that were established in several of the more important events.

ABOUT PROSTITUTION

Editor Day Book-As 1 am con-
slant reader of your Day Book that
you publish am very much interest
ed in the question that is being writ
ten: Is there any solution to prob
lem of prostitution? If space will
permit it l would like for you to pub
fish the following;
God created this world and he made
man and woman, and if it were not
for man and woman there would not
be any world. Everybody seems to
think that prostitution is one Of the
most absurd things there is, but I
want to say it is a pretty hard thing
to stop nature. That is a thing that
has been going on since the world
was created, and think it would be
hard to stop it now. They have clos
ed up the districts and have driven
the prostitutes all over the city in
nearly every neighborhood and still
they are not satisfied.
They didn't want district, so it's
a sure thing they must go somewhere
to make their living How can girls
live on the small wages they get?
They can't do it. The most any COM
mon, ordinary girl receives is 81 a
week, and I want to tell you over half
of the girls that are working at that
wages are either soliciting after their

men, thereby preventing a good deal
of suffering and wretchedness. Every
year there is a large army Of voorhees,
people. Still there are a few men who
get work, but they are only the ones
who are in good standing with polit-
tics or the church.
Then, again, in the big companies,
where there are thousands of en-
pIoyes working, they will always lay
of a great deal of men as soon as
business drops a little, making the
rest of the employees work overtime,
sometimes till 10 or II o'clock, with
only 35 or so cents for supper as pay
ment for their labor. Why can't they
keep their men and have shorter
hours, thereby giving every man a
chance.
Then there are firms who make
their men work long hours. Why
can't they let their men work hours
a day and employ more men, thus Civ
ing ''the other man a chance"
If there were less unemployed peO-
pie in Chicago am sure that times
would be much better. Also if all the
money collected for charity really
went to the people who needed help
there might be less talk about char
ity but more help.
If there are any hints among these
facts that will hurt the readers I
beg their pardon, as 1 am one of the
citizens who are suffering from this
dreadful disease caused by this rot
ten system" which exists in this city
and which, according to the papers,
the city is trying to wipe out, but I
have my doubts as to success as long
as politics is ruling the system.
Wishing you happy new year,
from a reader who is not a politician.

Yes, Virginia, there is a San
ia Claus. He exists as certain
ly as love and generosity and de-
votion exist, and you know that
they abound and give to your
life its highest beauty and joy.
Alas, how dreary would be the
world If there were no Santa
Claus. It would be as dreary as
if there were no Virginas. There
would be no childlike faith then,
no poetry, no romance to make
tolerable this existence. We
should have no enjoyment, ex-

eternal light with which child
hood fills the world would be ex-
tinguished.

There were no mother dreams for her
Whose little son was born King,
Though wise men came with gifts and
myrrh,
And star led shepherds, worshiping,
For she foresaw the binding tears,
The heartache and the bitter loss
That lay beyond the waiting years
Within the shadow of a cross.
And when she held his little form
Against her heart that Christmastde
She knew the hollow of her arm
Would one day shield the Crucified
And thus denied the hopes of old
To which maternity has chung
The story of her life is told,
And at it's end cross is hung.
o mothers, you whose lips have known
The sweetness of child's caress,
Yet stand today bereft, alone,
With hearts that ache with emptiness,
Turn to that woman, weary eyed
And pierced by life's supremest loss
Whose mother love was crucifed,
Whose hopes were Swallowed by a
cross.
And when the Christmas bells proclaim
The advent of the Saviour's birth
And far and wide his holy name
Goes ringing through the listening earth
Then let new hopes ascend like myrrh
From you whom grief has glorified
And sorrow made akin to her,
The mother of the Crucified.

Each day adds to this feeling.
The Romans perceived that one day
did not contain all the import of the mid
winter gayety. Their Saturnalia con-
tinued seven days. 1t began as enc.
day celebration and was observed Deg

period was a cup too small to contain
the wine of pleasure, it was extended
to three days. At last it was enlarged
by the Emperor Claudian so as to take
in the 26th. In form the festival has
now been changed back into the one
day shape. but in reality Christmas is
much larger under our presidents than
it was under Claudian and Caligula

may well be looked upon as a type of
the public happiness or the public mis-

limitation could keep it from having

MAKES RECORD
ASLONG WALKER
Mrs. Edward Shaeffer of Alli-
son Hill Walks to Dills-
burg on a Wager

Mrs. Edwin S. shaeffer of Allison
Hill, emylated noidoubt by the shining
example of DR.. John Eager on his
birthday jaunts. took little walk 20
Dillsburg a day or two ago, on a wager
covering the distance OF eighteen
miles in about five hours.
While Mrs. Shaeffer was busy about
her household duties in the morning.
the trip was suggested and at 8 o'clock
after the house was in order, off she
started. She stopped twice on the
way for drinks of water, and although
many automobiles passed her plod-
ding patiently along, not one motorist
offered her a ride. One old farmer
asked her to get in his wagon, and was
much interested when she told him
she was walking the distance on a
wager.
Mrs. Shaeffer reached Dillsburg hop
ing to stop for while with relatives,
but instead was just in time to see her
train for home about to pull out of
the station, and in one last sprint, with
a sandwich she had no time to eat.
in her hand, she sank wearily in the
car. Returning home, Mrs Shaeffer
had fine supper ready for her hus-
band at six o'clock, visited in the
neighborhood in the evening and was
up bright and early for Saturday s
marketing.
Mrs. Shaeffer who was formerly Miss
Jennie Yost of Goldsboro, has a wide
acquaintance in this city and the
nearby country.

Do You Dread the Cold?

Some people enjoy cold weather,
take pleasure in winter sports and the
keen air calls the pink to their cheeks
and the red to their lips. Others
shrink from cold and turn blue at the
least exposure to frosty air.
The difference is in the blood. Rich,
red blood warns the body. Every long
breath of pure cold air increases oxy-
gen 1t carries to every part of the
system. Thin blood is unable to take
up the DEMONSTRATING oxygen. The
body lacks nourishment and the suf-
ferer is always cold, takes a chill cas-
lily and is miserable all winter.
Thin blood Is largely the sufferers 5
own fault. 1t results from neglect,
because the blood can be built up. DR..
Williams Pink Pills supply ths ele-
ments that the blood needs to make
it rich and red and to enable it to
carry more oxygen. Building up the
red portion of the blood is simple
but because thin blood does not call
attention to itself 1t is often neglected.
Have you seriously considered taking
a course of treatment with these
blood making pills? If you are in
doubt write for information.
