nix friends describing few of the
many interesting sights which travel
ers from San Francisco to Calcutta are
enjoying. One of the letters follows:

much lightning in my life, and with
no land to obstruct the view it is surely
a beautiful sight. There are<~other
ships in sight of us. at last. on their
way to Calcutta, and being the first
ships we have seen at sea they prove
very interesting. The ocean does not
seem as big as it did when I started.

There are many stores in Sinsa-

whole blocks selling the same line OF

about a third of the original price

CORA HARRIS STORY
SERMON INCENTIVE

A large congregation is expected at
the First Congregational church on
Willetta street at the morning service
tomorrow. Rev. G. F. Yoakum, the
pastor, will deliver a sermon suggested
by the story Of Cora Harris, MY Son."
recently published as serial in the
Saturday Evening Post.
Rev. Yoakum, advanced thinker and
opponent OF "standpat' theology, will
attempt to show that despite the moss
back conservatism that obtains in the
region that developed Cora Harris and
her wonderful intellect, the leaven of
progress has so permeated current
thought that slavery. the saloon and
child labor are being driven from the
land. Much interest is manifested in
religious and literary circles.

POLISH PROFESSOR
SENDS THANKS FOR
AID Of AMERICANS

with deep emotion and with true
gratitude thousands of Poles repeat the
name America, wishing it the greatest
and prosperity, says Pro
fessor Jan Los of the University of
Cracow in a letter received at Arizona
headquarters of the European relief
council, 524 Heard building, Phoenix.
After reciting the history of Herbert
Hoover's child-feeding, first through
the American relief administration and
now through the European relief coun-
ell, Professor Los says: Il have seen
hundreds of these emaciated children
dispensing from the schools with cup
of hot chocolate and a bun or slice of
bread in their hands. The relief coun-
Gil has saved thousands of them from
death in Cracow alone. And how many
thousands in Polandi If the Americans
who gave the means for feeding them
could see them now. They have grown
up to health. Their eyes are bright.
They will make healthy and useful men
and women. With deep emotion and
with true gratitude thousands of Poles
repeat the name America.
Professor Los terms this work the
winning of peace as second only to the
winning of the war. He continues:
you have saved the lives Of hundreds
of thousands of our future generation,
and whiles this has touched US deeply
the extreme delicacy with which you
.
you were merely trying to repay US for
our Kosciusko and our Polaski won our
love. We are not accustomed to such,
delicacy in the present state of
Europe"
The work in Arizona is not yet fin
ished. At Arizona headquarters it was
stated about half of the $4,000 Arizona
quota has been raised and that the
entire amount is needed to complete
Arizona's part of this great charity
among the war waits of Europe. Every
| cent asked for will be needed under
the Hoover estimate to carry 100000
children over until next harvest.

"What are you doing here, little catF'
asked the wicked Ogre, who, you re-
member, tn the last story looked over
the castle wall just as Puss climbed on
the back of the good Duck.
Don't answer him." whispered the
Duck, and he swan swiftly down the
moat to the opening in the stone bridge
through which the little brook emphed
itself. But when they got there, the
wicked Ogre leaned over the wall and
would have caught them If the Duck
hadn't turned to one side.
And this made the Ogre SO angry that
he picked up a great rock and threw
it at them And if 1t had ever hit them,
l guess there would have been nothing
left of little Puss Junior and the good
Duck.
"Ha, ha!' laughed the Ogre, as the
water splashed and a big wave almost
overturned the Duck, and the Ogre rooted
up a great tree and threw 1t into the
water, and the branches caught hold OF
Puss and the Duck and they couldn't get
away.
"Now I've got you'll" roared the dread
full Ogre. and he climbed onto the tree
and walked carefully out into the middle
of the mOat, for the tree made a socl
of bridge, you see.
"Quick," said the good Duck, get out
one of your magic chsrmsw So Puss
waved his flaming feather in front OF
the Ogre, who by this time was close
upon him. But he only laughed and
held a great shield in front Of him.
"Oh, dearl Oh, dearl" thought Puss.
What shall do2" And then, all of
a sudden, he remembered his Magic
Whistle. So he took it out of his pocket
and blew upon 1t with all his might.
And such hurricane arose that 1t sweep
the dreadful Ogre right off the tree anc
blew him through the air high over the
tree tops, until it dropped him in the
Arctic Ocean, where a great white bear
caught him and Rugged him to death.
Well, after that, Puss climbed up on
the tree, and then he pulled the Duck
up after him, and together they walked
over to the land. And just then the sun
came up and the windows of the castle
opened and a great shout arose from the
inside. And the Queen came to the win
dow with the little Prince, who waved
his hand at Puss and the Duck.
II can speak," he cried, and then he
laughed, and his mother, the Queen,
kissed him again and again.
And after that the little Prince called
TO Puss to come into the castle. Come.
Puss Junior. Come you good, kind
Duck"
So the two walked over the moat
which the happy retainers of the castle
let down for them and as soon as they
were IN the great palace, the Queen and
her little son had them sit down to
table where there was a great frosted
cake with eleven colored candles burn
ing, for It was the little Princes birth
day you see.
And beside the great cake were pres

CUNNYSIDE
- Health Talks
By information Bureau of the
Sunnyside Tubercular
Sanltarium.

Have you made an inventory of your
health lately? Have You made for yourself
regular habit OF having your eyes,
your ears, your nose, your teeth, your
skin, your stoms n, your liver. your
heart, your lungs, your kidneys, your
bowels, your hands your feet examined
gone over thoroughly for defects?
Health will not take care Of itself and
the human body, like any other finely
adjusted machine, requires frequent
overhauling.
Health determines your happiness.
Eyes are the headlights of this won
derful machine, and If you think you
can run along with poor headlights ask
any automobile owner. Ears are of lit
tie thought to many Of us until some
thing goes wrong with these important
parts OF the machine. Even a little at
tention to small defects may prevent the
sad misfortune Of deafness later.
A great lesson in preyentable disease
came to us out of the war. All the men
killed in action on all sides in the war
did not amount to 1900, 900, but G50O.O0O
die annually in times of peace from pre-
ventabe disease.
A lot Of young men thought there was
nothing wrong with them until called
up for selectiye service. An appalling
number were rejected for bad teeth, de
fective heart, poor eyesight and incipient
tuberculosis.
Lungs and other organs, abused and

Teeth defective!'' This sentence
stood on a greater number Of rejection
slips than any other one thing. Think
Of 80 per cent Of all men between the
ages of u and SO having defective teeth!
The examination Of the teeth of school
children shows that even a greater num-
Der have bad teeth. This is a plain case
of carelessness. While many physical
defects may be hidden from the individ-
uaI himself, certainly he knows about
the bad tooth.
Heart LESSONS were the offending
cause Of many other reflections and ex-
plain lessened efficiency In countless in
stances. Here is a country slowly awak-
ening to the fact that its greatest asset
is IN its manhood, but we must also re-
