LAUGH TO KEEP LIVER
WORKING IS ADVICE

Chicago. Dec. 29.-Laugh. shimmy
your liver and die happy.
The old adage. ~ laugh day keeps
the doctor away" has found many
followers even among those who must
depend upon the disabled livers of
unsmiling persons for their bank de-
posits.
Prof A. ]. Carlson. OF University Of
Chicago. declares that hearty laugh
is worth more than countless liver
pills.
The muscles OF the diaphragm are
exercised with a good, hearty laugh,
and that benefits the liver" says the
professor. However. the physical
value Of a laugh is not confined to
the liver-the heart and circulatory
and nervous systems are improved.
Anger and hate cause depression and
consequent evil influences on the

In order to have a committee un-

However, there is a feeling that
no matter how big the initial
amount needed may be, the citi-
zens and business men of the city
stand ready to raise it and carry
the fight to a winning end. The
citizens and business men are de-

issue aside with a meager appro-

would result in disrupting OF
the local school system and con-
sequent falling down of the edu-
cational structure which the pres
ent school officials and teachers are
striving hard to uphold against
great odds and big attractions or
the outside in governmental and
commercial fields.
The school children are to be
called upon to do their bit. The
fight is expected to cover a period
of a month or six weeks. ending
with a week of demonstrations
