Ho llTsl MISTAKE Oh lHe parent vi
the sickly child is to assume that it
is "just naturally puny, never has been

. weakness" Thus the case is half lost
from the beginning. 1t is not natural

Somethng distinctly the matter and this
trouble can be located. The natural
thing is for the little one TO be well
and strong.
The second common obsession out of

the idea that delicate and loving care

Der: that is, careful handling, dainty,
predigested food, daily airing, and the
like. But treatment in general will not
cure even so much as an ingrown toe
nail. The case calls for treatment in
particular The cure must go to the
spot.
Now, let us get at sensible method
OF dealing with this case.
First, call a spine specialist, an osteo-
path or chiropractic. and learn def
nitely as to whether there are any seri-
Gus twists or bends in the vertebral
column. Sometimes the cause of low
vitality may be al once located here

Second apply to an intelligent nurse,

THE TEACHERS OPPOR.
TUNITY
BY William Mather Lewis, Director
Savings Division, Treasury
Department

| BY William Mather Lewis, Director
Savings Division. Treasury
Department
The strength of the United States
depends upon the practical patriot
ism and sound economic thought of
her future citizens. These character
istics must be developed in the daily
life of the school.
Economists agree that the univer-
sal adoption of intelligent saving
will strengthen our nation tremen-
dously. When every wage Garner
has reserve fund of money, the
country will be sound economically,
socially and politically.
| The teacher who encourages pu-
pills to earn money and to invest in
thrift stamps and war savings stamps
is doing much for their economic
strength and practical patriotism.
Each child who buys stamps feels
partnership in the government;
he learns the wisdom of investing
his money in securities that are alb
solutely safe; he becomes familiar
in a practical way with compound
interest; and as he sticks stamp af-
ter stamp upon the card. he has
visual demonstration of how savings
grow.
Faith without works is dead.
Thrift without safe investment. such
as government savings securities, is
robbed Of its benefits. Its virtue lies
not only in its principles but in the
actual practice of investment.
Each year thousands of boys and
girls in the United States are depriv- !
ed Of college education because
they lack money.
You can remedy this situation
among your pupils by starting them
on the road to saving early in life
and encouraging them to safeguard
these savings in government securi-
ties. You are rendering a real ser
to your country and your pupils
by promoting the sale of these
stamps.
Add to your influence as teach
er. Promote sound economic thought
practical patriotism and prosperity
by encouraging your pupils in the
regular purchase of thrift stamps
and war savings stamps.

THE ALLITERATIvE SLOGAN

1t is just barely possible that the Dem
ocratic party will not congratulate Chair
man George White upon his achievement
in deVising the slogan peace, Progress
and Prosperity" At first glance it will
appear that Chairman White picked his
words somewhat hastily, attaching more
importance to the ALTERATION than to their
meaning There is no peace as yet, hard
ly any progress, and doubtful prosperity;
certainly none of Democratic origin. Per-
haps the national chairman would have
hit it off better had he proclaimed con-
test with generous prizes and invited
countrywide competition in framing the
Democratic battle cry.
The reference to peace is particularly
unfortunate since it inevitably brings to
mind the 1916 slogan, "He kept us out of
war;" AS rallying cry to get into office
it was singularly successful, but the vot-
ers are not likely to fall for another one
like it. Their attitude is shown by the
widespread disposition to paraphrase the
famous cry of 1916, making it "He kept us
out of peace" thereby calling attention to
the Presidents unbending attitude on
the peace treaty and his unwillingness to
surrender the autocratic powers con-
ferred upon him for the purpose Of pro-
scouting the war to successful finish.
His action in vetOing the resolution re-
pealing the war measures hardly can be
construed as indicating a desire to re-
turn to peace basis.
Had Chairman White shown the slight
est disposition to accept advice, there are
thousands of persons who would have
been glad to help him find a slogan. Even
by limiting the words to those which be-
gin with "p" it is possible to find bet
ter slogan. While it is likely that Mr..
White will not care for the suggestion at
this late day it will do no harm to point
out that there is lot of meaning. in
Promises, Peruuisites and Pie" or in
Patches, Profiteering and Pedantry."
The only limit on this pleasing pastime is
that set by the photographers.
If William Jennings Bryan had been
would have been prohibition but that, of
course, was ruled out when Governor Cox
was nominated. Prohibition, Penance
and Perhaps" would be rather nifty as
a slogan.
The trouble with the battle cry pro.mul-
gated by Chairman White is that his par.
ty cannot make its record fit in with it.
Having whip-sawed the public on peace
once, it will be pardoned if it examines
the progress and prosperity part to see if
we are getting anywhere Post
