TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THE RAINY DAY.

THE RAINY DAY.
The day Is cold, and dark and dreary;
It rains and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the mouder1ng wall
And at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary-
nv life is cold and dark. and dreary:
II rains and the wind is never weary;
NY thoughts still cling to the Wondering PAST
But the hopes Of youth fall thick in the blast
And the days are dark and dreary.
Re still sad heart! And repining;
Behind the clouds the suns still shining;
Thv fate is the common fate of ALL
Into all lives some rain must fall
Some days must be dark and dreary.

A LESSON FROM GREECE.

Although the people of this country are pretty
well informed Of the need of combating tuber-
culosis and of the necessity of good sewerabe,
it is not amiss, in order that the need may be
more strongly impressed upon as, to consider
the example of the dire effects of laxity In the
fight for health that is afforded us by Greece.
In the ravages Of tuberculosis and typhoid fever
there are lessons to us that should enlist our
cooperation with the authorities in fighting the
white plague and in providing proper sewerage
for every community.
We are told that there is no governmental
provision for fighting tuberculosis in Greece.
The death rate from pulmonary tuberculosis is
two hundred and ninety-four per one hundred
thousand of population, and the death rate from
all forms of tuberculosis three hundred and
sixty-five per one hundred thousand. The first
figure is about twice as high as the rate IN this
country. There are no sewers In Greece. In a
three-year period, the death rate from typhoid
was sixty-nine per one hundred thousand, about
FIVE times that of the United States.
The inference is so obvious that it need not
be drawn. The excuse for bringing these facts
to the attention of Americans is that they may
not be disposed to grumble at what they con
slider the high cost of fighting tuberculosis and
of providing proper sewerage, as they some
times do The real cost, whatever it is cannot
be too high.

Des Moines Capital: The election
is in a sense a personal victory for
Harding; he was pursued with va
riety of ISLANDERS, but he never lost
his head nor his temper He acted
like a serene, self-confidant man. We
believe the country can trust him. He
will form the necessary partnerships
for the peace of the world, but he will
not promise to send an army and navy
to Europe. The country will expect
much from President Harding.
