In life when Father Neale" was con

he embraced every possible chance tt

the people would stay TO hear him.
Full OF anecdotes and fond of hulnor
Gus stories he amused the crowds that
gathered around him and often cor

a carpenter by trade, and when lie WAS

and when he found young preacher
using Concordance TO aid him In find

know II by heart" And he had studied
It so thoroughly that he knew the least
incidents recorded In II, and could cite
them whenever they would come in
play. Once he heard minister trying
TO prove that the people could not have
been immersed in the Jordan because
that river was so small that man
could dam II up with his foot. At the
close of the sermon Father Neale got
up and said:

Boy Mixed Up Inside
Wants To Be Soldier

Samuel Gardus heads the fifth grade
at Public School 143, Brooklyn, in
everything but nature study. With all
the obstinacy of nine and a half years
he spurns pebbles, botanical charts and
all of Natures wonders. He's one of
them himself.
Ever since Samuel watched a certain
Brooklyn regiment march away to war
his ambition has been to be a soldier
Yesterday he learned his aspiration
may never be fulfilled. Dr.. Neil Nc
Leod Whitaker, while examining the
pupils of Samuel's school, found that
practically everything in Samuel that
should be on the right side was on the
left, and vice versa. His heart was dis
covered on the right side, his liver on
the left His spleen, instead of being
in its normal position on the left, is
on the right. And Samueps stomach,
while not exactly upside down, occu-
pies position reverse to the normal.
There are not more than five SINH
lar cases in the world,' Or. Whitaker
said yesterday. "The condition is
known as deXtro-cardia, and apparent-
ly does not interfere with normal func-
tioning.'
Samuels mother, Mrs. Bessie Gardus,
of 1927 Forty-third Street, Brooklyn,
says the doctors have told her Samuel
should go to the mountains during the
summer months if he is to grow strong.
But the boy has no father, and, unless
Nature works some more miracles in
his behalf, he will have to stay at home
this summer.
Maybe if | get strong and prove I'm
all right they'll let me be a soldier"
suggested Samuel, "even though | am
all mixed up inside"

Masons to Establish
French Rest Centres
Grand Lodge Also Plans to
Put Entire Strength at Ser
vice of Government

Clubhouses and rest centres for Ma
sons hailing from New York lodges will
shortly be established in France. Yes
terday the Grand Lodge, which has
been in session since Monday, voted to
send a mission of Masons to the battle
front of France at once for this pur-
pose. Erastus c. knight, former
Mayor of Buffalo anl one-time Con-
troiler of the State OF New York, will
leave on the first ship sailing for
France to prepare the way for the
members of the mission.
This is the first step taken by the
Masons of this state to use up some of
the war and relief fund raised by
the lodges of the state to provide for
members Of the craft and their de-
pendents from this jurisdiction who
are in the service. The houses and
rest centres, which Will be built back
of the battle line will not be reserved
for the exclusive use of Masons, but
any Mason from this state may take
his non Masonic friends with him.
The nineteen-year- Belgian girl
Miss Suzanne GIvercruys. daughter of
the Chief Justice of Belgium, who told
the Grand Lodge when it adjourned
from labor on Tuesday of the suffer-
lngs of the little Belgian children, was
voted purse Of $4,000 by the Grand
Lodge yesterday.
Miss Silvercruys did not come to
us on begging mission" said an off.
GER of the Grand Lodge yesterday. "She
came at the request OF a member of
the craft to tell us of some of the
wrongs our boys have gone over there
to right. And some ofus old fellows
regretted that we could not go over
and shoulder a gun, but we all could
see to it that Miss Silvercruys had
little TO help the sufferings of Belgian
babies, and so we voted her the purse"

and means of putting the strength of

Warns Against Propaganda
Dr. McElroy appeals to the audience
to do all possible to controvert the
work Of the German propagandist.
Disguised in n hundred ways, sly,
stealthy and ruthless, the German prop
agandist is still at work in this land,
gagged in the process of striving to
train our people to accept the suprem
acy, the domination Of the German kul
tur, planting in the polyglot heart Of
this American people the doubt that
paralyzes the will to victory, and makes
for national impotence
"fhe surest way to defeat the am
bitions of German kultur is to destroy
its grip upon the schools of this
country, and upon the newspapers Of
this country. because these are the
trenched. Some misguided patriots,
and some mysteriously guided pro
German propagandists, arc trying to
convince rs that it is folly to stop the
teaching of an alien hostile language

EXPERT OPINION

| regard this statement as absolutely
false. Those of US who have spent our
lives in dental investigations know Of
no means of protecting teeth from de-
cay except by keeping the surfaces of
the teeth perfectly clean, a thing the
patient cannot hope to do. Further
more, when decay has broken through
the protecting enamel, we know of no
means Of arresting that decay except
by q treatment Of silver nitrate,
which acts in some cases, or by remov-
ing the decay and filling in the cavity
IN such 2 way that it does not leak. 1t is
incredible that any form of massage of
the gums should be able to protect the
tooth enamel from succumbing to the
attacking organism.
