AMERICANS

IN an uptown school the other day
little italian girl approached heI
= teacher with head held high and
proudly proclaimed: I'VE are not
Italians any more; we are Americans
My father has got papers saying we
are really, truly Americans; all of us
we are all Americans, forever"
There is more in that than mere
childish pride in a new distinction
The little girl unconsciously expressed
the great fundamental principle under
lying the growth and stability of this
nation. 1t is because so many of the
immigrants of other years cast off for
all time their allegiance to the coun-
tries from which they came and de-
voted themselves earnestly to adapt
ing themselves to their new surround
ings and becoming good citizens OF
the land of their adoption that Amer
lea is America, as we know it. No
body can be a good American until
he puts the United States first and
foremost in his thoughts among the
nations of the world. The newcomer
may look fondly back to Germany and
wish the Fatherland we'll. He may
cherish tender memories of old Ire
land or carry with him to his dying
day sweet recollections of sunny Italy.
1t is to be expected that he will. What
concerns the land of his birth natur-
ally concerns him, but only in a senti-
mental way. 1t made life so difficult
that he fed to a new home, and
naturally, he is devoted, with a devo-
ton akin to passion, to that new
home-to the land of opportunity that
has opened it's gates to him. It's in
terests are his interests, and the in
terests of his children and their chill
dren-and 10, he is an American,
ready to fight and die for the flag, if
need be.
1t is so that Americans are made.
and the little girl in the uptown
school merely voiced the sentiment
that on this continent has welded the
widely differing peoples of all the Ea-
tions of the world into one great,
harmonious, homogeneous whole, when
she said: We are not Italians any
more; we are Americans, forever"

STUDY AND EXERCISE

Study does not hurt a child unless
the study time is taken from time that
should be spent in out-of-door exer-
else.
Overstudy and lack of exercise make
thin. bloodless children. 1t is COM
blnation that provokes st. Vitus' dance.
If your child is thin and pale, list
less, inattentiVe, has a tickle appetite
and is unable to stand still or sit still,
you must remember that health is
even more important than education.
See to it at once that the patient
does not oVerstudy, gets at least two
hours out-of-door exercise every day,
sleeps ten hours out of every twenty
four and takes a nonalcoholic tonic
like DR.. Williams Pink Pills until the
color returns to cheek and lips and the
appetite becomes normal.
For growing children who become
pale and thin DIR. Williams Pink Pills
are not only safe but in the great ma
jorlty of cases they are the very best
tonic that can be taken. They build
up the blood and strengthen the nerves
and assist nature in keeping pace with
rapid growth.

THE FARMER AND HIS OWN

TOR some time people observing
- economic conditions in Pennsyl-
= vania have been noting that the
trend of the times has been to
give the farmer what song and story
and orator have generally called "his
own" It does not require a man OF
any extraordinary foresight to realize
that the keystone State must raise
more food, and as agriculture is the
basis of living. officials, bankers, manu-
facturers, legislators, scientists, in
short, men in many lines, have been
giving of their thought and various
means to make life on the farm more
comfortable and at the same time to
separate the farmer from the profits
on his products.
Now the State is about to extend its
already noteworthy educational and
other works for the farmer. Life on
the farm is to be detached from its
dullness and monotony. The social
center that was IN existence at the
cross roads school house before they
lighted UP the school buildings In the
city and unlocked the doors to the
ncighborhood after dark is to be en-
Iivened.
And all the time we have been
thinking about this policy TO make
the boys and girls stay on the farm
and become husbandmen and house
wives and safeguarding the produce of
the farm the rural dwellers have been
working along their own lines. They
now have telephone systems and they
are no longer restricted to the creek
for a bath. incidentally, a late State
report says that per cent. of the
farmers of Pennsylvania own auto
mobiles.
The farmer appears to be approach
ing his own

HEALTH OFFICERS

"HE Health Board has asked for
two additional sanitary officers
= 1t does not appear that it is
going to get them. There is
neither the money nor the inclina-
ton, it would seem. But there is a
secondary recommendation that Coun-
Gil might do well to consider. 1t is
this-that by turns the city police
force act as sanitary officers. 1t might
be possible to enlarge the duties of
the whole force in this respect. The
police could easily perform a larger
duty than the mere preservation OF
order. 1t would be right in line with
present-day governmental ideas to
make each one of them a health Of

Fresh fruits and vegetables, too.
At prices mostly dear.
Which just a few years back were

In summer time alone

All year they will be shown.
But one thing that I've noticed bout
These out-ofseason things,
They don't taste just exactly like
Those that the summer brings.
For instance. take the strawberries
That we can buy to-day,
There's something lacking-they DOM
taste
The old-York- County way.
It's really wonderful. think,
Tie things that they can do
BY making Nature work o'ertime,
But they're just halfway through
With what they're trying to perform
Much time will go to waste
Until they find some way to grow
In things. the proper taste.
