Concluding Numbers
Of Chautauqua

dChOu Mdo bhO Nhdulduqud Dullu-
ing Wednesday evening when Colonel
Balm delivered his lecture on "The
Twentieth Sentury Searchlight." The
passing years may have taken toll
physically from the aged speaker;
they have taken nothing from his
mental force and power. His mes
sage of faith and optimism rang with
the spirit of unquenchable youth
tempered and moderated by the
broad experience of age. This cen
tury still is young, but with Colonel
Bain's searchlight we may hope to
read something of its future, the fu-
ture that is for us and our descend
ants to make.
Confidence in ourselves, loyalty to
ourselves, were lessons to be CLEANED
from the lecturers theme. The
spirit of seeking elsewhere for what
may be near at hand was decried;
scenes that are fair, lands that are
lovely, may not be hundreds of miles
away but may be found next door,
or even by our own homes. Not that
the speaker encouraged provincial
ism, but he wished to make others
see as he himself has learned, that
before others can believe in us we
must first believe in ourselves.
Speaking alike to young and old,
there was not word too difficult
for the youngest to understand, nor
a thought so simple that 1t did not
possess something OF good for the
oldest to take to heart.
Thursday afternoon and evening
the Chautauqua audiences had the
pleasure of listening to the Swiss
Yodlers. They claimed an instant
intimacy with their hearers, and
were regretfully allowed to conclude
their program. The delightful Swiss
songs will surely be remembered long
by all who heard them.
Following the Swiss Yodlers on
the program Thursday evening Ro-
land A. Nichols spoke on "The Man
Worth While" Just how many of
those present gained good clear
idea of that man" would be amin
teresting question. The lecture was
funny, yes; one of the jokes was
exactly sixty years old. However,
the evident sincerity of the man, the
real geniality of his presence, re-
deemed great deal that was trite
and commonplace in his lecture.
Laughter is very untrustworthy as a
channel to convey what should be
serious thought. "The Man Worth
While" is a subject of too greatl
promise to be treated by a series of
funny speeches. H
Mrs. Della Crowder Miller left
something Of real value to everyone
who was fortunate enough to hear
her interpretations of various pieces
of literature. Her rendering of
Ben Hur" was very evidently filled |
with the depth and spirit of the great !
work that each one of her hearers
was touched to some extent with |
of the same spirit AS a
real educational force Mrs. Miller's
work ranks among the best on this
program.
Too much praise cannot be given
Prof. Larimore for his work among
the boys and girls. The numbers
who put themselves in his charge for
the all-to-short ten days bear abun-
dant testimony to his popularity If
his classes could only be prolonged,
not being limited by the length of
itself, the benefits of his
work would be doubled. 1t would
be fortunate indeed If Prof. Larimore
,ould become, not merely Chautau-
lua number, but an Ashland institu-
ion.

 Dear Doctor: have received great benefit from your lectures and books, and now would like to ask a few quss- tions regarding my brothers case. He cut his knee when he was eight years old. In year it was aIINright appaF-, jentIy, only at times it is weak and painful in the joints. The muscle seem to be too short at these times. He is now 21 years old. The knee joint is smaller than the other. but it is not stiff. It will hurt for a week or more, then it may be alright for a month. A. Fl. L.
 Foment the knee about twice a week, seeking to keep the fomenta- ton hot for considerable length Of time, rather than to make 1t aV7fuIIy hot for a short period. Then bathe freely with olive oil. rubbing it in thoroughly both above and below Che knee as we'll as around 1t. The rub bling of itself would prove very bene- dcial

 Bridgeport is to-day the prosperity center of America, The pay rolls are the biggest {n the city's history and are growing by leaps, and bounds. as proved by the weekly statement of the local banks.

HOME HEALTH CLUB
(Edited by Dr. David H. Feeder, Chi-
 


 Preparedness: Almost every publi- cation is full of advice upon the sub ject of preparedness for defensive purposes and in view of the tremen- dous damage already caused by well prepared nation that is comparative 1y small, the advice is, to say the least, timely. It is not my job, how ever to discuss war or anythings that pertains to it except so far as such things pertain to health, but as I consider life itself a continuous bat tie, from the cradle to the grave, I think I may well make Suggestions regarding proper ammunition and equipment for the fight.
 Consider for a moment the fact that every particle of matter that is in your body and goes to make up the various portions of it, must, from the first, pass through the one little open ing called the mouth. Is not this the point that should be most tzeaIously guarded. The child should be taught from infancy the vital importance of clean mouth and clean. sound teeth. Not-Very long ago a man came to me who was suffering with aches and pain in various portions of his body. He detailed many symptoms and wanted stsomething to tai1e'' that will destroy the pains and let him go on about his business.
 As he talked I made obServa tiOnS and penciled a memoranda. He was greatly surprised when. instead of of fering him medicine I asked him how often he cleaned his teeth. He had never visited a dentist except to have or 3 teeth pulled and had never bothered to use a tooth brush and he was still more surprised when I told him that he deserved all the pains he was suffering and that I would not even advise him about treatment until he went to a good dentist and had his teeth cleaned and put in proper condition to masticate the food.
 He reluctantly did as I told him and as the cause. for nearly all of his trouble was then removed there was but little for me to do. I recom- a special mouth and tooth wash and the regular use, morning and night of a good tooth brush, sl proper regime for constipation and the man was quickly restored to health.

daance to waltz music, really the one- step danced to waltz time, and is one of the very popular forms of the one step. All of the dances introduced are very simple, and aside from the waltz the one-step is the basis of all of the later dances. Professor Guilty says there have been many improve ments incorporated in the one-step, fox trot and canter during the recent session of the associations.
 The Colonial Ball Room, where Professor Guilty holds his school, is undergoing a renovation and will be resplendent in new paint and, with many added features. It is undoubt edly the handsomest ball room in the state and admirably adapted to his purposes In addition, however, he has secured the use of the ball room at the Stratfie1d for one evening of the week for a private class of which announcement will b- made later.
 Classes both pribate and public; will be formed at Professor Quilty's school during the first week in 0cto- Der, and all of the new dances will be taught in the standard form. Several of the classes will be followed by so- cials lasting until midnight and which Twill give pupils opportunity for put ting in practice the lessons received F Saturday evening will mark the opening of the Saturday evening so- cials to which the public is cordially invited, and the new dances will be exempIified by Professor Guilty and Mrs. Dorlislxa Chaffe Freeman.
 This is the fifteenth season for Qui1ty's School of Dancing and the reputation gained as an instructor during those years is one of the best in the New England states. He has taught thousands of the young people of Bridgeport and vicinity the art of dancing correctly both in classes and in private lessons. He promises that the standard of the school will meas ure fully up to the high standard all ready set. v

warm covering and sleeping garments instead of closely closed windows. By using paper blankets under your bed pad and between the woolen blankets and the top spread, you will not require so much covering in or der to be quite warm and comfort able. A great weight of blankets and quilts are not necessary for warmth. Use covering that will keep the heat of your body from radiating rapidly and you will be warm. The fire is inside of you, Proper food properly prepared and eaten will keep that fire burning brightly for many years and such things as cold feet, colds and other such ailments, will not trouble you. You are always ready for the daily battle and the legiti- mate spoils of the war are health and happiness.
