ALL LOVE EASTER
World a Unit in That, but Writer

Reasons for 1t.

49, HE world loves Easter be
u it answers the cry of
an inner need. That cry is
by no means always reli-
gious, as some suppose. 1t springs from
various motives. To some it is merely
the response of returning spring. To
others it answers the call of fashion.
Most people salve their consciences
that they are answering the call OF
the inner religious life. No doubt
Easter day furnishes the occasion for
all that's done in its name, but much
of the Easter performance has as
much heathenism as Christianity in it.
OF course you'll holler and protest
that it isn't so. But your old uncle
is willing to let the facts speak in the
matter. The reason we find it so hard
to see the truth is that custom has
made the whole Easter show respect
able.
Your Uncle Ben finds no fault with
the desire of the fair sex to look as
fair as the lily and be twice as at.

People forget that features differ. Not
every one can wear the same shaped
hat. They don't want a hat like any
body else. But it must conform tc
Dame Fashions order no matter how
hideous it makes the wearer The
colors may scream and the feathers
may flare, but if that's the mode there
is no room for argument. So when
the fair creature has dOnned the al.
NOR of latest creation she SallieS forth
to bewilder the spectators and enjoy
the thrills of admiring 90 glances,
That's one reason why the world en-
joys Easter.
But the heart knows deeper calls
than dress. The world has much of
sadness in 1t. Few homes have not
felt the touch of the grim reaper. He
is no respecter of persons. All ages
and conditions of men answer the call.
There is the first torrent of recollec'
ton and private sorrow. To such
there is great relief in thoughts of
Easter. The very earth seems to
speak a message of hope. In early
morn conses the bird song. With peep
of day the smiling sun lights the bud
ding trees and greening fields. Here
and there ~venturesome little flowers
peep through the winters refuse. They
all tell of new life. They help make
the sa' heart lighter.
To such Easter is the assurance of
inexperienced promises. Something
deep in their hearts tells them that
there is much to live for. The Eas-
ter message is the only word that
brings real comfort. 1t tells of vic
tory. No wonder they go to the Lords
house to hear again the story of the
Resurrection. In spite of the SCOTS
of critics, in the face of all the skill
full attempts to explain the great Eas-
ter mystery Of the empty tomb, they
find JOY in r%ecounting that conquest
of the grave so many years ago. At
the house of praise they hear it in
every hymn and prayer. The message
is the theme on every lip that comes
to worship. Their W hearts begin
to rejoice as the truth becomes real
and they realize that they who have
gone before shall live again.-"Uncle

A Suit for the
Small Boy
By Rita StuYvesant.

w yITH Easter time so near at
w hand, the wise mother will
soon be planning spring sIits
for her little boy. For tn, small
son OF the family needs tn be well
dressed if he expects to b. a social
success at dal:i1g SrhgOl, or whiIB
visiting, and t is !, mistake u In
dulge only the girls in smart
clothes. The war has brought 4
great deal OF influence on boys ap-
parel, and while we do not see 30
much khaki as formerly, suits and
coats have retained many military
features.
Top coats are finding Il strong
rival in blue broadcloth capes COP
led from our gallant naval officers.
The woman who would not attempt
to make a coat will find the capes
delightfully."- simple to copy. They
are cut in one piece. semi-circular,
and the edges are faced with inch
wide bias strips. rather than hem
med. A straight military collar
is covered with regulation silk
braid and fastened with two strong
hooks and eyes. A bit of decoration
in the form of an emblem. such as
an anchor or bar, can be attached to
the collar if desired.
II you think the straight collar
is too uncomfortable for your child,
a collar of Buster Brown style cut
from the broadcloth might be sub
stituted. Serge is also seryiceable
for these Capes. When the weather
is warm the cape may be thrown
back over the shoulders, revealing
underneath an attractive suit.
Master six-year-old would indee1
be proud OF n blue serge suit, pat
termed after the -pocketed
British uniform. Two patch pockets
above and two below, separated by
a regulation leather belt, are the
chief attraction Of these little suits.
A fare peplum is set into a straight
waistcOat, and tiny brass buttons
fasten the front. Knee-lengtn
trousers, either straight or bloome"
style, are worn with this smart
jacket
Norfolk suits are always fashion
able, and the woman with limited
income will do well to consider this
point when planning suits for her
small son, for these suits do not go
out of style quickly.
Made with two box plaits both
front and back. they have a belt OF
self-material run through these aO-
piled plaits at the waistline AMI
button i'm front 4 white Buster
Brown collar and black silk tie
gives a well-groomed appearance to
Norfolk suit. Tiny pin-checked
black and white serge is smart for
spring wear. and there are num-
ber of mixed materials in gray that
are also we'll liked.
In making a suit for small bog
it is often advisable TO have the
buttonholes made by a tailor, II
one is not Skillful. \ suit that is
otherwise nicely tailored will look
quite homemade" if finished with
poor buttonhOleS Professional
handmade buttonholes cost ten
cents apiece.
Dressing the small boy need not
necessarily be an expensive prob
lem II one uses a little discretion
in the selection of his clothes.

The Perils CT
LOckjaW
By Brice Belden, M. D.

I OCKJAW. known technically
as tetanus. Is caused by
germ which enters the BODY
through a wound caused by
splinter or a nail or a piece OF
glass, etc. This germ is most likely
to flourish in garden earth and
street dirt. and lockjaw is gener-
tiOn OF wounds by unclean objects.
Lacerated and punctured wounds
about the palms of the hands and
soles of the feet are most liable TO
become infected.
In the course of its growth the
germ produces at the point of inOc-
ulatiOn a poisonous toxin which
ascends the nerves to the spinal
cord, whore it excites an action like
stryChnine.
a period Of from a few days to
two or three weeks may pass by
after incubation before symptoms
appear.
At first there is a stiffness in the
muscles of the lower Jaw and neck:
then involvement of the muscles of
Aai' bsAa n u hllh anu ~" Il tAlItIlll-
ties follows. The jaws closed
tightly, the brow wrinkles, the cor
ners Of the mouth draw upward,
producing a characteristic grin. and
the body becomes arChed, the pa
ticnt resting on his head and heels.
The slightest touch intcnsifes the
painful spasms. The mind is clear.
The duration is from a few days to
several weeks. The average NOR
tality is about 60 per cent. Fatal
cases usually die within a week.
Cases developing a long time after
the incubation and not character
lied by violent seizures frequently
recover
The most important insurance
against lOckjaw is the thorough
cleansing and disinfection OF all
wounds. When there Is any reason
to suspect contamination by garden
earth, street dirt, or stable refuse,
the local treatment should be sup
plemented by the injection Of lock-
jaw antitoXin. which is a protective
preparation somewhat similar to
diphtheria antitOXin. The injection
should be made deeply into the
muscles i'm the neighborhood Of the
wound and should be repeated at
the end of a week.
When the disease has actually de-
veIoped antitoxin Is injected di-
roctly into the veins and central
nervous system daily, and the In
fected wound is enlarged and dis
effected.
But II Is the use OF the nntItoxin
Ht tho time of injury that counts
most In these cases.
