THIRTY MORE NEEDED.
At least thirty Good Fellows are
needed TO take care OF that many
babies and small children who are
under the care OF the Child Weliare
Society at the Washington Diet Kitten
en- because the homes In when the
little ones were found were insult
able for them The child Welfare 90
ciety reported these cases to the dood
Fellow Department because ~ was
asked TO do so. IL IL now up 10 the
Good Fellow Department TO make
good on its boast that the Good fel'
lows OF Washington would see 10 u
that every child in Washington
would be visited by Santa Claus next
Saturday morning.
And, in the meantime, the lst OF
needy large families continues 10
grow. Today the big boss breezeo
into the Good Fellows Department
and wanted TO know how thlns
looked He was shown long list
upon which practically all the Needy
families had been assigned to uoou
Fellows. Just then "A batch or man
was delivered, and. 10 and behold!
there were pitiful appeals from haii
a hundred needy families. And they
have all got to be answered. Make
no mistake about that. The GOOD
Fellows must toe scratch and take
care of every one OF these families
If YOU are a Good Fellow-and don
ever admit to yourself that you arc
mott is your job to take at least
one of these families under your
wing.
The Good Fellow creed is so simple
that 1t must appeal to every man ana
woman who gives any thought what
soever to those less fortunate. Here
is the creed:
"Neither you nor l get anything
out Of this except the feeling that
we have saved some soul from
sorrow on Christmas morning.
Nothing could be simpler, and yet.
nothing could be more noble. lofty
humanitarian or satisfying.
TROOP 10 ON THE JOB.
Troop Sixteen OF the Boy Scouts OF
America took a large family under It's
wing today, and every other troop
Of Boy Scouts can do likewise. Come
on YOU scouts; don't let Troop Sixteen
, get away with anything.
The spirit of the Good Fellow was
cXemplified today when a young man
came IN ana asked tndl Inc bcS'
family on the list be assigned to
him. The largest family consisted OF
widow and ten children. 1t was
suggested that the family might be
trifie large for him, whereupon he
replied that he had saved up con-
siderable money to buy merry
Christmas with and he did not know
any better Investment he could make
than providing Christmas cheer and
comfort for this large family.
Groups of Good Fellows are still
needed to take care of the remaining
large families. Today is the day to
enroll. Sign the form in today 5
paper or telephone Main $3.50 or call
personally at the Good Fellow DEPART
ment. There are only Ave more days
before Christmas, and If single,
solitary child experiences the tragedy
of the empty stocking, or any old
folk are made to feel that no one
cares for them, then the whole Good
Fellow movement will have proven a
failure. Insure success for the move
ment and a happy Christmas for your
self by taking a family under your
wing today.

Some one said recently that
the current idea of polite conver-

about something. 1t is a fact
that if the complaint was cut out
of so.called polite conversation
there would be a great deal more
of good, golden silence than there
is. The servant problem, by
those who do not need servants,
what a wonderfully wide field Of
conversation that is. The high
cost of everything, by those who
have never produced a morsel to
eat or a thread to wear in all their
lives, that's another golden op-
portunity to talk and say moth
ing. And then there is the wea-

DR.. Earl G. Carr, senior grade

laboratory at the Great Lakes,

announces that he has isolated
the influenza germ. 1T is the
real influenza bacillus discovered
by Pfeffer in England" DR.. Carr
said. "I took the sputum frou,
a person near death with intuen-
"a, washed it in a salt solution,
plated it on blood media, picked
out the influenza bacillus colo
nies and transferred them to a
separate media. There can be
no doubt about it.
The bacillus is very small
about one fourth the size of the
tuberculosis bacillus is non
motile and grows in clumps. The
presence of this bacillus makes
people just as sick as they were
last year, and in my opinion the
death rate per thousand cases i:
as high. There arenot, however
as many cases as there were las

During an epidemic, almostwher.
