HEALTH suPERsT1TroNs

Queer old superstitions as to pre-.
servation of health and treatment
Of dasease are held by many old
fashioned people. Many Of these
notions can be found even In intel.
ligent communities. There are al.
ways ignorant folks who ,derive
their physiological ideas from the
ancient traditions of their native
locality.
Here are some notions existing
in some parts of the country, as
described bya public health nurse:
Carrying leaden ring, a potato,
or horse chestnut. cures rheuma-
tism.
Putting pan of water under the
bed cures chills and fever.
Chop a chicken in halt while alive
and binding It on the feet cures
typhoid fever.
An onion poultice cures pneu.
monia.
Bag of assafoetida suspended
from the neck drives away disease.
Weak eyes are strengthened by
using them, etc.
Many parents hold that children
should choose their own food.
Pigs and chickens choose their own
diet, they say. and are healthful.
So il children selected their own
food, they too would be rugged.
A mother whose baby was suffer.
ing from inflammation OF the colon,
begged district nurse for medi-
cine, while the child was eating a
green apple. When this nurse tried
to sponge off child that had a
temperature of los, the father in
terpOsed. saying, mo. sir, you don't
give my child BATH" and he quot.
ed the old saying that "A bath
means burial robe"
Every shiplOad of immigrants
brings in people trained in such
conceptions. When their children
get contagious diseases and are not
properly treated, the infection
spreads into the most careful fam.
lily. Boards Of health have a great
work Of popular education to per
form. The Americanization cam.
paigns should include health talks
showing the falsity OF these old
notions.

LOCAL Bus1NEss CIVIC FORCE

When people buy out of their
home town, they help build up the
city where they place their pur.
chases, but when they buy at home
they help build up their own city.
One Of the principal forces work
lug to develop a community, is the
body OF men engaged in retail trade.
You can depend upon them for co
operation, in all the civic enter
prises In which the town is inter
ested.
If you want new school buildings
for your children, do you help your.
self any by patronizing stores in
some distant city, Not one solitary
red cent of that money will come
back to your home town to help
build your needed school house.
On the contrary, if you spend
your money here in Holly you help
increase the prosperity Of your
local business men. They are there.

arruaN OF SOLDIER DEAD

Tho return nf the bodies of a
large part Of tho soldiors who died
on foreign soil is creating in many
places scenes Of patriotic and pathe.
tic interest. Tho friends who have
desired the return OF these remains
will perhaps find some comfort In
the proximity Of those last relics.
The people will be glad that no ef-
fort or expense was spared to give
this bit OF satisfaction to those
who made 80 great sacrifice.
The bodies Of those that remain
in the foreign soil which they so
nobly freed Of the brutal invader,
will not be forgotten. They rest
in flames eternal camping ground
witha multitude Of noble heroes.
1t is day of many sad memor-
les when the last rites are said at
the little home burial grounds
where the soldier bodies finally find
their last resting place. Yet per
haps the bitterness of grief has
passed away so that the friends of
these dear boys can feel the honor
that comes with tragedy.
These young men achieved the
highest triumph of life. Nothing
that they could have accomplished
in seventy years of ordinary living
could compare with what they did
in those few short months. They
will be remembered forever as the
saviors OF their country, as the men
who showed their ability to rise
above pain and sorrow and peril
and fear, and to attain the highest
level of nobility.
Any family that is represented
in these quiet cemeteries by one
Of these boys has a right to feel
proud Of the contribution it has
made to the progress of the world.
It has given the highest gift in
human power, and it should be
cherished forever in special place
of honor in the community. Our
people in Holly should not forget
the boys who have made this sac
rifice, nor the sorrowing one left
behind. but show the survivors by
constant sympathy and friendship
how much this service is valued
and treasured.

ENRIoo cARuso

Travel where you will the name
OF Smith is likely to be found. One
would have difficulty finding a
place without the name being as.
sociated with it. Yet the name of
Smith is no more familiar than is
he whose golden voice was hushed
yesterday.
Enrico Caruso is known tie world
over. He was an Italian. His
voice was universal. Thousands Of
people never saw Enrico Caruso;
they have heard OF him; they have
heard his voice. That voice brought
tears. gladness. sorrow and sun.
shine. it thrilled.
His admirers were rich and poor
The wealth Of that glorious voice
cOrresponded to the kindly acts he
did for others. Many struggling
artists have Caruso to thank for
helping them over stony pathways
There was but one Caruso and he
lived full life that blessed Others

TWO SPOTS

Most of the country young folks
will have automobiles when they
grow up, while the city folks arc
kicking about the high cost Of
hanging to straps in street cars.
The home town knockers are not
often seen fixing up their own
places and making them look as at
tractive as possible.
The country boy does not often
talk as fast as his city cousins, but
he can tell things that he has done
rather than what he is going to do.
While John Barleycorn was ig'

GAY LORD QUEX' HERE
 LAST TIME TONIGHT

When the Irish and the French meet. there's apt to be electricity in the air. When they fraternize and work together-the result is apt to be worth seeing.
 Such a combination is that of Tom Mooore, actor, and Harry Beaumont, d1rector-the two men responsible for the delightful farce comedy Gay Lord Quex" which is being repeated for the last time tonight.
 At rectnt informal dinner the two met and the subject of nationali- ties was discussed Tom admitted that he is one of Ireland's home grown" while Beaumont's father came from Paris.
 Since 1919 the two have been work ing together, and Gay Lord Quex" is the eigth success to their. point credit. And we may also state that they are still going strong"
 In Gay Lord Quex" the genial Irishman sustains his reputation as the screens perfect lover." And he does so amid series of laughable complications intrigues and esca- pades that keep the beholder laughing from the first screen flash until the end
 On Saturday night a special treat for everybody, big and little, is booked. Baby Marie Osborne, or as she is popularly known, Little Mary Sunshine. supported by little Black "Sambo," the funniest "coon" in film dom. are playing in "Dolly's Vaca- tion." a sure-fire cure for every kind of blues ever invented.

According to all indications, the big
demand by home builders for several
years to come will be for small homes.
Thousands of families. in an effort To
get away from the exorbitant rents of
h apartments in the cities, will build
homes of their own, and because of
the cost and their limited means. these
homes will necessarily be small. But
they will be as complete and Just as
modern as any ~pretentious home on an
exclusive boulevard. The building art
has been developed to the point where
the small home can supply the same
comforts and conveniences that the
larger and more expensive one has
heretofore had alone
With a small home the man is not
worried over rents. not worried over
q place for his children; he has plenty
of room to turn around in, plenty of
fresh air to breathe. And he is an in
