Following the perfecting OF the
compound microscope has come
great advance in our knowledge OF
bacteria, those very minute vege-
table organisms everywhere found.
Bacteria are divided into two
main classes, saprophytes and par
asitcs. The saprophy.es, including
many varieties Of bacteria. are of
great use TO mankind, and we could
not live without them. They prey
on dead organic matter. decompos-
ing IL into gases and various fer
tilizing materials, so that carbon
and nitrogen are furnished for
plant life. Some assist in the
sprouting Of seeds and other pro-
cesses in the garden. farm and
dairy. Foodstunfs which have been
attacked by saphrophytes with re-
sulting decomposition, may, IL eaten,
cause ptomaine poisoning, severe
cases Of which terminate fatally.
The harmful bacteria, known as
parasites or disease germs. include
only about forty varieties at the
most. They are classified according
TO their shape into cocci lround),
bacilli trod-shaped), and splrilla
(corkscrew shaped. The partic-
ular germs causing most OF our
diseases have been isolated and
identified as the tubercle bacilli in
tuberculosis, the diphtheria bacil-
lus in diphtheria. certain cocci in
boils and carbuncles. The exact
germ causing some diseases. as
smallpox. scarlet fever, and few
others has not yet been discovered.
but research workers are still work
ing at these problems, in the hope
of not only determining the causa-
tive germs, hut also finding a way
10 combat them.
Now. we are especially inter-
ested in escaping the harmful eff
focts Of these various disease
causing germs with which we come
in contact every day OF our lives,
since they are everywhere present.
First Of all, we must keep our
body resistance high. There are
substances in our blood, manufac-
tured bt the tissues OF the body.

BACTERIA
BY DIR. Margaret S. Grant

which tend TO kill or render HARM
less these germs If they enter the
body. II our bodies are weakened
by hunger, exposure TO cold, loss OF
sleep, excessive fatigue, anger,
worry, fear, these protecting sub
stances are TO a greater or less
degree lacking, and the germs en-
ter and multiply unhindered.
The skin is natural protection
against germs, as they cannot en-
ter except through some break in
the skin or mucous membrane. En-
tcring through a cut or bruise in
large numbers, and finding condi-
tons favorable, they multiply 50
rapidly that the protecting bodies
in the blood are not sufficient 10
overcome their invasion, and some
diseased condition results.
The germs causing typhoid fever
especially may be taken into the
system through unclean food as
milk or any food which has been
exposed to contamination by flies
carrying typhoid bacilli on their
feet. Tubercle baciIli are also car
ried in this way. tuberculosis may
be acquired, too, by breathing in
germs floating about in the air con-
taminated by dried particles OF
sputum from a tuberculosis patient.
Also we should do all in our
power to help destroy these harm
full bacteria. Sunlight is one Of the
best germicides known, and but
few bacteria can long survive ex-
posture 10 strong sunlight. The free
use Of soap and hot water destroys
many bacteria. Material known TO
contain bacteria, as sputum from a
tuberculosis patient, or the excreta
from a typhoid patient should be
burned or treated with some strong
disinfectant which may be OBJ
tanned from a physician Or from "a
druggist.
Then keep the body in as perfect
condition as possible. Destroy or
disinfect all contaminated materi-
al; swat the germ-carrying fly; use
soap and hot water freely; admit
sunshine everywhere; and you will
find that you are much less suscep-
tible TO disease.

BOOSTING AND ROASTING

We have become used TO hear
ing the knocker contrasted with
the booster. When any move
ment for betterment is on foot,
when there is any gathering
together Of forces for a contest
whenever there is a call for united
effort Of any sort, there appears the
slogan, Don't Knock, Boost" This
is TO be commended.
II rightly interpreted IL is a maxim
which may well he a part of every
mans practical philosophy. But do
we rightly interpret il or properly
apply it? We often denominate as
a knocker the man who with due
caution and wise foresight seeks to
save the foolhardy and over-enthus-
iastic from disaster. We often fail
to distinguish this nan from the
real knocker. the man who lacks
courage, the ultra-conservative. the
stuc&-in-the-mud. the discourager
Of all enterprises with which his
slow working mind cannot keep
pace.
There appears, however, 10 be
even greater miscOnceptiOn concern
ing what boosting means. In the
majority of cases of our observation
II means simply boastine.
The man who talks in vague
superlatives concerning his town.
his ball-team, his school, his politi-
cal candidate is doing his cause more
harm than good.
He who labOrs earnestly, steadily
and fearlessly TO make his cause bet
ter is worth a score Of those who
ever seek opportunities to announce
lis fame.
Consider the pharisee and the
publican.
The world has said Of the Ameri-
can that he prizes fame above all
other things. II is TO our reproach
that this is so. Industrially, munich
pally, institutionally, individually,
we suffer from a kind OF short.
sightedness which causes us TO con.
fuse the result with the object, max.
ing us seek greatness and reputation
as an end.
Let ms think soborly and we will
discern the important truth That
greatness is a by-prOduct Of service.
II ife is a mission and not a career

Facial MASSAGE Not Newt

Was facial massage a new thing in
the Paris of 1889? We doubt II,
Philip Hale writes in the Boston Her
aid. Helen Of Troy is said to have
compiled book OF recipes for beauti-
flying the face. Ten to one she, Cleo
patra, Roman danes, orientals. knew
all the tricks of massage. Today
there is in New York a doctor who
charges large sums for correcting
noses. smoothing wrinkles, removing
blemishes. He has a skillful hand for
cutting, stitching, performing delicate
operations. More than one woman of
fashion, whose face has begun to
crumble; more than one actress calls
him blessed. The late Mrs. Deacon
and Maxine Elliott were among his
patients.

THOUGHTS
Dean Karl T. Waugh
REFLECTIONS ON EASTER

| sat down the other day with The
thought Of writing something ap-
.propriate for Easter. My intention
was TO express in some vivid and
new way, If possible, the thought
OF the fitness Of Easter. with all that
lt means TO Christians, coming in
the spring of the year, when the re-
awakening OF the trees in bud and
leaf is a beautiful representation
Of resurrection and endless life.
was just about 10 start out with
some such phrase as this: an this
joyous season when the minds OF
all people are filled with uplifting
thoughts, and Easter and the hope
of Immortality inspire our hearts
TO kindlincss-' when | was rudely
interrupted by the thought, Is
that really so? DO the majority of
the people in this country spend
much time bordering on the mean
irg Of Easter? Are there not many
who do not give il moments
thought? What actually occupies
the minds of the people most on
Easter Sunday? why not portray
things more nearly as they are, in
stead as they might be9
These questions were so insistent
that there seemed TO be but one
course to follow. SO we followed
II, and permitted our Easter re-
Elections TO be transformed under
the title, Reflections on Easter"
While thinking Of what actually
fills peoples min : most prominently
at this period, and endeavoring 10
find words to express certain ideas
on the Inconsistencies Of human
nature. there occurs to mind Eugene

liver is active, your entire diges-

and you feel just fine with a hearty
appetite for breakfast. Eat what
you like-everything tastes good

entire system is naturally invigOr-
ated. Blood circulates better,
nerves become refreshed, dull eyes
become bright and pale cheeks
glow with the bloom of perfect
health. Sleeplessness, nervousness,
lack of energy, tired-wOrn-out feel
ing, all become things Of the past.

a quarters worth of PepsOtOne
tablets and begin this very night
to conquer constipation; increase
your bodily strength, your nerve
force, your power Of endurance and
materially improve your skin, color,
complexion and figure.
Note: You are bound 10 get de-
sired results from PepsotOne or il

Qualifications Necessary.
An applicant for the position Of
postmaster at an Office Of the first
class must have reached his tbirtieth
birthday and an applicant for the Of
fice OF the second class his twenty
tifth birthday. For a third class Office
man may serve up to sixty. The
written examination prescribed, the
civil service commission tells congress-
Is not difficult. II includes such sub
jects as arithmetic and penmanship,
letter writing. business training and
experience and similar topics. The
chief purpose Of the examination, It Is
explained. Ia to ascertain the business
experience Of the applicants and this
is particularly true with respect to
men who desire to serve as first class
postmasters.
Before an examination Is held the
civil service commission, II develops,
makes a careful personal investigation
OF each applicant. This investigation
is designed to cover two purposes,
first the Candidates suitability for the
office by reason Of his character and
personal characteristics, and second
the business qualifications, ability and
experience Of the candidate. This so
called personal report Is filed along
with the candidates examination pa
pers and ls made a part of the evil
dence and record on which the COM
mission rates the candidate.
Both the civil service commission
and the postmaster general have held
that the law Of July II. 1919, provid-
ing that preference be given to hon
orably discharged soldiers and sail
ors in making government appoint
ments was not intended to apply to
appointment Of postmasters at presi-
dental Offices, since postmasters are
not In the classified service. The post
master general says. however, that
service men are given the preference
provided they meet the requirements
established by the regulations and are
qualified.

 Favorab ble reports were made by the senate judiciary committee a bill which will validate county warrants is- sued under an act of the 1919 legislature | for road construction and tick eradica- | ton. The 1919 act was unconstitutional because it did not contain an enacting clause. A favorable report also was made by the same committee on a sub sttute for the invalid bill of 1919 The measures will be on the senate calendar for final action when the body convenes again at 2:90 o'clock Thursday afternoon. When the call of districts was con- pleted. several additional bills had been introduced, including two bills which seek to amend the so-called bone-dry laws relating to the confiscation of prop erty when violations of the law are proven. A bill by Senator West of Jef- ferson county would fix the qualificat tion O. highway engineers in all counties hav~
