THE HOLIDAYS

Thanksgiving has passed and the
Christmas holidays are upon us.
Chri stmas is still a Merry Christ,
mas" for us, although the men in the
trenches in fighting Europe will be
able to look backward to many ano,
Their Christmas which was merrier for
them, and we may hope, look for
waNd to another Merry Christmas to
come. There is just one thing that
will go to make our own Christmas
a more merry one, and that is for the
time being to forget ourselves and
become a regular guy" A regular
guy is an open-hearted open-handed,
decent sort of fellow who believes
that Others have a right to some
happiness on earth and is willing to do
his share to help them get it. 1t
doesn't cost much to be a regular guy,
because what we do doesn't decide
our status so much as the spirit with
which we do it. Suppose you are so
poor that you can't afford to give
even a penny away. You can smile,
can't you? You can hesitate by the
beggar in the street and wish him a
merry Christmas" You can feel in
your heart that this is a season of

your bearing toward your fellow
men. 1t the world has been good to
you, now is the time to repay your
debt. Give something to someone
who needs it. You don't have to
give much, but, if necessary, make a
sacrifice. Don't let Christmas go by
without becoming human, if only for
minute; A nickle here. a dime there,
rag doll for little girl who never
had doll, or an overcoat for the
lettle fellow who brings your paper
who hasn't got an overcoat, won't
mean much to you, and il might make
the Christmas merry for the little
one. Loosen upl This is Christmas

RHEUMATISM ARRESTED

lame muscles and stiffened joints because
of impurities in the blood, and each sue

there is always a great deal more

HOW TO USE RED CROSS SEAL

Red Cross seals should, in accord
ance with Order No. 5000 of the post
Office department, "be affixed to the
reverse side Of domestic mail mat,
ter" and not on the address side of
any letters or packages that are GO
ing through the mail They may be
placed anywhere on matter going by
express. As many seals may be us
ed on the back of letter or pack
age as may be desired. Care should
be exercised in Sending merchandise
through the mails not to place seals
over the strings with which the pack
age is tied, since this closes the
package against inspection and sub
jects it to first class postage rates,
Users of Red Cross seals are caution,
ed against indiscriminate use on for
eign mail Red Cross seals in nor
NAL times may be used on the reverse
side of mail matter sent to Austria,
Germany, Great Britain and most of
the British colonies, except India Aus
tralia. Guatemala, Uruguay and Port
postage stamps. Certain European
countries will return to the sender
any mail bearing Red Cross seals on
the address side. Mail addressed to
any of the belligerent countries in
Europe should not bear Red Cross
seals on the address side. Red Cross
seals may be used on the face of
checks, bills, on legal documents and
on any commercial paper. The Xmas
seals are not good for postage. They
will not carry any mail matter, but
any kind of mail matter will carry
them.

The Dying Race

TINE talk about the North
American Indian representing
- a dying race is not myth. A
government census of the Indian
population of the United States and
Alaska has Just been completed. The
figures will show a reduction as COM
pared with the census of 1910 when
the total indian population was
265.6S3 exclusive OF Alaska and other
insular possessions.
OF the total Indian population,
74.S25. or 2S per cent, were found in
one state, Oklahoma; 160.107, or so
per cent. in the five states OF
Oklahoma, Arizona. New Mexico.
South Dakota and California.
In density Of population Okla
homa again led with los Indians per
square mile. The proportion which
Indians formed of the total popula-
tion was, however. greatest in Ari-
Eona, where it was 14.3 per cent.
The most important tribe numeri-
cally was the Cherokee, with 81 .4S9
members when the figures were
taken, while those next in order
were the Navajo. Chippewa. Choe-
taw and Teton Sioux.

THE SUN HEALTH.

The prediction by General Gorgas
that sanitary science promises TO en-
able the white races TO occupy and
develop the tropics has raised the
question whether the supposed dang
ers OF climate In these regions have
not been misunderstood The high
temperatures are not in themselves
pe-ilous to those who become acous-
toned to them and take sensible san
itary and physical precautions. Per
sonal hygiene, the avoidance OF alco-
h0i and other excesses and an &C.
commodation of the diet to the new
conditions, make life in the tropics
tolerable to white residents. The
theory that the dark races are pro-
tected by the pigment has been based
on the experience ttat they can with
stand the heat better and do more la
Dor. But exhaustive studies BY sci
entists, as reported in the Medical

temperature regulation OF the dark
races is an acquired characteristic de-
yeloped by use and suggests that the
whole races, when long enough dom

conditions will become as acclimatiz-
ed.
