Don't take foolish risks in such q
case, but have your doctor see the
throat without delay. if the throat
looks al all suspicious, he will make a
swab ard send it to our laboratory for
microscopical examination. The germ
of diphtheria is living organism
that can be seen, measured and easily
recognized beyond any shadow of
toubt by trained exfert.
Many cases of sore throat in CHI
Gren seem so mild that they are

The point / wish to make right

are now filled to such an extent that
breathing is difficult or rendered i'm
possible through the nose. We now
have condition that is abnormal
and which is highly favorable to the
rapid multiplication of any germs
that may be present.
Kindly note that use the words
"rapid multiplication" and there is a
good reason for so doing. Let us sup
pose for instance that there is just one
single diphtheria germ in such nose
to start with. In half an hour this
germ win grow larger and split in
half, then %e have two. IN another
half hour thcse two split into four and
these four later into eight and 50

This will give YOU an idea why d-

much harm and are so easily spread
from one person to another.
Remember then that a "cold" Is a

YOU must slow down, then again il
may mean that You must stop and

One year has past since that sad day
When the one we loved wars called

God took her home it was His will.

And all the hours on earth you spent
Your heart to US was always bent.

And the parting fills US with pam
We hold as glorious tken
The bright hope of meeting again.
You don't know the sorrow to lose a
loved one.
Until God sends a messenger 4to
your home
It is sad when he calls for or the
other.
But he worst blow of all when ne
calls for mother.

LA LITERATURE HISPANO-A AMERICANA

anpuloso y" "castizo''; y un afrance-
sado por 10 imbufdo que estaba de
"revoluci6n francesca.
La literature americana no ha ex-
presado zen general, al nuevo con-
tinente. Un vicio hereditario suyo es
desdehar Ell medic ambiente por 10 exc.
tico v lejanO. Los iiteratos espafoies
prefferen hablar de la vida parisiense,
con sus cocotas, sus refinamientos. sus
bulevares. pintarnos los paisajes
las costumbres-con sus dramas sus
sorpresas topograicas--de America.
Hay un escollo que pocos han salvado:
Ell "americanismo' que mi me sabe
veces cursi.
FL americana es intehgente y posee
un temperamento de adaptation admi-
rable: Sc arnolda con facilidad todas
las atm6sferas, a todos los sentires y
pensares. Rod6-sirva de ejemplo-es
un case de asimilacion muy curioso.
Tiene de Maeterlinck, de w. James, de
Emerson +.
Me preguntan ustedes cual es ell de-
fecto capital de la literature de Hispa-
no-America? Ia logorrea. Es ell defecto
de las letras espafolas en- general. En-
tire nosotros Sc escribe con Ell dido. La
ecolalia es un NAL endemico hispano-
americana.
He notado que cuando Sc habla de
America Sc prescinde de ciertas repll-
blicas en- que la cultura y la mentali
dad alcanzaron un grado culminante
Cuba, por ejemplo, ha producido dos
excelsos poetas: Heredia Y zenea; este
'iltimo muy cerca de nosotros por la
siesta de la eternidad, como todo duer-
"souplesse" de su estro melancolico.
veleniano a veces, no por las ideas, ST.
no por 10 femenino y agudo de la sensi-
bi1idad, y Ell desencanto de la vida
vista desde las alturas de una serena y
triste filosofia. En- America no ha ha-
bido historiador mas documentado y
sereno que Saco, cuya historic de la
esclavitud merece leerse v meditarse.
Por 10 que puedo colegir, en- America
Sc ignora a Ricardo Delmonte, ell illus,
ire critico de "El efectismo lirico",
modelo de prosa pictorica, de sobrie-
dad erudici6n enciclop6dica. Delmon-
te, era, ademas, un exquisite poeta IL
rico.
America debia estrechar sus relacio-
nes; aquellas repIblicass Sc ignoran, y,
10 que da pena: Sc desprecian mutua-
mente.
Es cuanto por ahora y para satisfa-
Ger su deseo tengo que decirles, en- con-
