Exceptional Program
For Chautauqua.

A good show is simply an enter
tainment for the time being. But a
good Chautauqua is an entertainment
plus vast amount of information
and education. The average Ameri-
can dislikes having information
stuffed down his throat. But serve it
to him in the form of entertainment
and he thrives on it.
You will enjoy this years Chaut-
auqua. Alton Packard, the highest
paid entertainer on the Chautauqua
platform, is back again. Back in
college days lean remember how we
used to get "fed up" on lectures and
such things so that we seldom attend
ed the average entertainment. But
when Alton Packard appeared we
always turned out like a mob. He en-
tertains, and at the same time he
gives you some of the finest teachings
that life can afford. His cheerful grin
is like tonic.
A new Inquire in Chautauqua circles
is d. Thomas Curtin. He is the man
who was called the Central figure
in Lord Northcliffe's press spy svs-
TEN" during the war With intrepid
courage he penetrated the German
web of malicious intrigue that at one
time threatened the world. For this
Germany placed a price upon his head
The Philadelphia North American
says he is "the man who dragged the
truth out of Germany"
The Belgian Band is composed of
veterans of the Great War. Most of
them having been wounded and de-
corated for valor. There is depth
to their music that can never be found
in those who have not passed thru
hell as they have. The good attract
ions for this Chautauqua are too num-
erous to mention here. They are all
superior
A Chautauqua is home institution.
No family should allow these attract
ions to pass without their children
beniftting from the education and
pleasure they afford.

Books.

Read not to contradict and commute;
not to believe and take for granted;
not TO find talk and discourse; but to
weigh and consider. Some books are
to be tested others to be swallowed,
and some few to be chewed and d.
gested; that is, some books are to be
read only in parts; others to be read,
but not curiously; and some few to
be read wholly with diligence and at
tention. Some books also may be
read by deputy, and extracts made of
them by others; but they should be
only less important arguments, and
the meaner sort of books; also dis
filled books are like common distilled
waters, flashy things.-Lord Bacon.

NATIONWIDE FIGHT
AGAINST DISEASE
American Red Cross Will Have
Health centers in All Parts
of United States.

The American Red Cross has launch
ed upon a nation wide campaign OF
fighting disease and physical defeet
among the American people. A new
and unique health institution has come
into being as the result OF several
months study by the Red Cross Health
Service Department at National Head
quarters.
officials In charge of the department
predict that before long this new health
activity will be In actual operation all
over the country, and that the sign
American Red Cross Health center
will become as familiar to the peo-
pie everywhere as are now the signs OF
the telegraph companies.
Busy Long Before War.
The interest of the American Red
Cross In the fight against disease Is
not, however, of recent origin. Long
before the war the organization began
this health service through its medical
units in disaster relief work and It's
department of Town and County Nurs-
ing. During the war and following
the armistice thousands of American
Red Cross officials have been hghtlhg
disease In the war-stricken countries.
At the same time tens Of thousands OF
local Red Cross officials have been en-
gagged at home fighting disease nova
blv during the influenza epidemlcs
The American Fed Cross has de-
termined that all this valuable expert
ence in health service abroad ana al
home shall not go to waste. SO long
as there are a half a million people
dying yearly in this country from pre-
ventable causes, and so long as more
than one-thlrd of the American chill
dren and young people are victims OF
physical defects, the Red Cross recog-
pizes the urgent need for continued
Red Cross health service at home.
How Organization Works.
The Red Cross Health Center is
governed by business principles, ap-
plies business methods, and, In It's
more simple form, can be established
and conducted by lay people.
1t proceeds upon the demonstrated
fact that health is commodity that
can be bought and sold like brooms

business section of the community. 1t
displays its goods in the form OF at
tractive health exhibits in its show
windows. 1t advertises constantly and
extensively. And it uses every bust
ness and social device to attract GUS
toners.
The Red Cross Health Center is OF
service to the sick in that 1t gives out
reliable and complete Information
about existing clinics, hospitals, sana'
toria and other institutions for the sick
and the defective; about available

Electric Incubator.

The electric incubator is said to be
much safer, surer and more economi-
cal than the oil-heated apparatus.
Current entering the incubator passes
through resistance elements in the top
of the box; these are arranged to dis
tribute the heat evenly over the 70
eggs below. Double insulating walls
prevent the escape of heat, while a
thermostat keeps temperature con-
slant. Ventilation is likewise auto
matte.

Fleet Wing Co. a Live Organization.

The editor had his first introduction
to the hospitality of Lambertville on
Monday night when invited to the
fifty sixth anniversary of Fleet Wing
Hook and Ladder Company No. 8. A
man could not be stranger long
such good fellows. Especially
Southerner when the watermelon was
spread out so plentifully. 1t was
gratifying to find so many Shriners
among their membership. 1t made
fellaow Shriner feel at home imme-
diately.
There were cantaloupes too-good
ripe juicy ones, and SO many peanuts
a man was in danger of making pig
of himself. Chief Arnett spoke in
appreciation of his associations with
the members of the Company during
fifty three yers in the Department.
Mayor Moonan was present, and in
a convincing appeal asked that all the
companies cooperate with the city
commissioners for economy in Fire
Department supplies. He stated the
condition of the City Treasury con-
vincingly, and related the trials of the
Commissioners in securing State CO.
operation for our road repairs. 1t
is hoped that such efforts as theirs
will bring fruits. Our roads are in
bad repair.
The editor was introduced and list
ened to with great patience. He hopes
in the near future to get group pic
ture of each of the companies, to-
gether with their apparatus, for the
columns of this paper.

 'ContraSting this official docum cnt from the Republican National Head quarters" Governor Cox said with the statement MT. Hays yesterday made under oath I cannot believe a single word he says on the subject. That he has been caught in his own trap is evident" =. .-
 The governor declared that all state chairmen should be summoned by the committee to bring all documents re- lating to money raising with them. The spotlight should be thrown on the activities of all political parties and it should be kept there intensive ly until election day" he added.
