ARE YOU A REFORNTER?

Not day passes but that you meet some one who says how dreadful it is that Mrs. So-and-So does this or-that. or how astounding it is that s1ch-and-such a little girl is all lowed to do thus-and-so"' By the time you have listened fifteen minutes you are convinced that they would never ba guilty of the little faults and foibles which they just yearn to cor rect in those other poor folks
 But in the course of human events. you will discover that these people belong in the ranks of the human. and faults and foibles will crop out. It is discoura ging, after you thought that at last you had found some one W hose faults were a Ineligible quan- tityz, to realize that these same peo- pie have 'em, too. But thus it will be ever.
 Also, ever there will be in our midst reformers of the sort that wish to pull out the mote from their sis ter's and brothers eyes when they have beans in their own eyes.
 New reform really is a good thing, a we all know. And there is n very effective way to reform a nation. This way. if you would know. is simply begin with yourself" If every one would see to his own reformation, how easy a thing it would be to re- form a whole nation, now wouldn't 1t ?

Survey Indicates 100000 unsupported
4 Sufferers From Disease in
Nation.

New York.--A survey Of the country
shows the United States is face to
face with condition more menacing
to Its people than actual warfare, ac-
cording to the report Of the executive
committee of the National Tuberculo-
sis association.
The survey shows an annual death
rate from tuberculosis in the United
States Of 10000, and more than 1,00O,-
600 active cases Of the disease in the
nation.
To combat and prevent the spread
Of the disease, an intensive national
campaign is necessary, 1t was asserted.
Funds for the campaign will be sought
by a ten-day sale of Red Cross seals,
beginning December /. The total of
the several state budgets will be more
than $6500,0O0.
During the discussions, attention
was called to the revelations of the
wartime medical examination boards,
made up largely of members Of the as
sociation. Official figures were cited,
showing that Of the men called to the
colors, nearly 100000 were tubercu-
lous.
1t was pointed out that the death
rate Of 10000 year from one pre-
ventable disease means the sacrifice
Of more lives than the United States
army lost In the year It was actively
engaged in the war.

INK PURsUEs BRIDAL AUTO
BloWouts Were Overcome, but Lack Of
Years Was an Effectual Bar at
s License Bureau.

yBaltimore.--Luck was with Allen
Walter Dehuff of Dallastown, Pa, a
prospective bridegroom, when he slip
ped from bed at a. m. and at the
wheel of his 'tfivver" sped toward
Logansville, Pa.
His bride-to-be, Miss Esther Hide
brant, was waiting for him at a lonely
spot on the road and they turned the
radiator toward Baltimore, but there
Dehuff's luck deserted him.
First came blowouts and then engine
trouble and finally damaged axle,
but repairs were made and the sflivver"
continued toward Baltimore and mar
riage license.
But the blow which he received at
the marriage license bureau will take
two years to fix, unless he asks his
parents for help. He is only 10 years
old and the clerk would not issue the
marriage license without the, consent
of Dehufffs parents, SO the pair re-
turned home.
