Positively no, Abe responded
Morris. Were a little feller and this

Abe, they should ought to stand this

replied. Still l notice being big don't
help much when you're up against the

noise when the crash comes, but aside
from that there amt much difference
between the little feller that sells
$4,000 worth of garments for $4,000
and the big feller who sells $4,000, 900
and the other loses 81 100000, and it's
all the same-33is per cent net loss. -
Anyhow" said Morris, they're
rich enough to stand it themselves.
Look at all the money they used to
make out of u.s.
We'll, let me look at it." retorted
Abe. Il notice them fellers amt rid
ing home to meals in no oitermobiles;
they're using Tramway street cars like
you and me. Max Fineburg got some
of these here Tramway street car
company stocks. i amt heard him
buying so much as half a pound of
butter, Mawruss, at 65c a pound from
the divydends on these here stocks.
Not for four years have i, Mawruss ?"
"Never mind, Abe, there's more
ways than one to wiggle a divydend
into the pockets of a stockholder."
"You better go tell Max Fineburg
how it's being done to him then, Nav
russ" continued Abe, because the
poor Schlemiel amt found it out yet
and he needs the money. It don't look
like to me that them fellers been max
ing enough even to pay the help.
They borrowed it a quarter of mill
yum dollars to pay current bills, Maw-
russ, and nobody that amt crazy in
the head is going around borrowing a
quarter of a millyun on short-time
rates, Mawruss. if he is making so
much money he could borrow it of
himself for nothing"

Merry Christmas to the manager
and editor of The Bulletin, and all
others connected Herewith, extend the
greetings of the season, with best
wishes.
H. B. Frerichs of Typographical
Union No. 217, Canton, Ohio, was a
visitor at the Home during the past
week.
Captain J. C. Foltz of Chestnut
Hill, Philadelphia, Pa, stationed at
base hospital No. 21, Denver, visited
the Home last week.
John R. Afford, resident of the
Home from Columbia Typographical
Union No. 101, Washington, D. c.,
left here last Monday night to enjoy
the holidays and a months visit with
his family in that city.
AS announced in the daily papers
last Friday, the ban was lifted in
Colorado Springs last Sunday-the in
idly enforced since October 5, for ten
weeks. The decision was made by the
health authorities following a steady
decrease in the number of new "fiu"
cases. The removal of the ban allows
the churches to resume their services,
the fraternal orders to hold their meet
ings and the movie theaters to re-
open again. When the ban was put
on in the city the same day the re-
quest was made that 1t be in force
at the Home, requiring the residents
90 remain on the grounds. Hearing
of the glad tidings of the removal of
the ban, believing they could get out,
| the residents were very sorrowfully
disappointed, that is, some of them,
when they were informed there was
nothing doing" 1t is the. intention
of Superintendent Daley and the Home
physicians to await developments re-
garding the outcome of the result,
what effect the ban lifting will have,
before giving the residents permission
for the time being to go oUt, desiring
to be cautious, which has been the
case up to the present day.
R. Z. DIETER known as Gene)
George of Typographical Union No.

of the Home on December Z. Mr..
George. was for number of years in
the government printing Office in
Washington as compositor and proof
reader, and is well known to the craft
in that city. In his boyhood days he
covered practically the entire country,
but spent Most of his time in the South
and Southwest. The greater part of
the past eighteen years ne has spent

days since his arrival at the Home
He has been in the insurance business
for the past ten years, and hopes to
re-enter the field about April l, fully
expecting to recuperate his health by
that time.
In last weeks issue, the first note
published, the Home correspondent de-
sired to contradict a statement sent by
some unknown person. There was
nurse here who resigned her position,
stating before leaving that she did not
desire the vaccine, but who shortly
thereafter, residing in the city, con-
tracted a mild form of the ~fiu." The
only case of the malady here was that
of waitress, who had become in
fected with it before being employed
at the Home.

Danger of Being Too Stout Bsl5sn By B5ies M D.
Belden, M. d.

This liability to liver diseases in
stout persons throws some light
upon diabetes as weu as upon
cirrhosis. for in diabetes we have
alterations in liver functions which
have much to do with initiating the
disease and also with certain symp-
toms after the disease has deveI.
oped
In other words. the liver, like
the kidneys, shows in stout persons
irritation and congestion. leading
to excessive functional activity in
order to meet increased strain
and il is a fundamental principle
in medicine that uccessive function
al activity pred!sposes TO disease.
The statistics of the New York
Life Insurance Company show
that persons who are ten per cent
above normal eight have a consid-
ergbly increased mortality over
those who afe ten per cent below
normal weight.
The idea that to be more or less
overweight is an evidence OF
health is one OF the commonest OF
our popular delusiOns Somehow
or other we associate stoutness
with vigor, but experience. obser-
walton and experience are all
against the sOundness OF the no.
tion.
Even a slight excess Of fat on
the surface OF tie body and within
the cavities Of tie body is a handi-
cap. II means more work FOR the
heart and lungs. The more Tat there
is upon or within the abdomen the
harder il is for the diaphram. the
chief muscle concerned with our
breathing, to descend during in
EpiratiOn.
In the course OF time the internal
organs OF excessively stout persons
undergo fatty degeneration that is
to saN the organs themselves
actually change more or less into
fat. When this happens 10 the
muscle OF the heart, upon which so
much deps nds in the way OF physi-
cal efficiency. this organ becomes
weak and ultimately Is unable to
do It's work.
